    Google Assistant not working with Home Button anymore

    Ohh this message. Yes, I did. I kind of skimmed it when it popped up. I didn't exactly read it thoroughly. What a bummer. This was so useful the way it was set up originally. Thanks for the info.

    Google Assistant not working with Home Button anymore

    This article is from 2023. I was using the home button up until a few weeks ago. What changed? Maybe my memory is off a few months... But, I had been using it up until the last Security/OS update, which was within the last month or 2...

    Google Assistant not working with Home Button anymore

    Google Pixel 8. Latest OS. I'm noticing after a recent update, I can no longer hold the Home Button to activate Google Assistant. I have to say "OK Google" for it to active. How do I restore this feature? I don't want to add Google Assistant to the power button either.

    Android Auto on Samsung Tablet "Not Compatible"

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet S6 SM-T867U. I was hoping to get Android Auto to connect to my Google Pixel 8, but the tablet says Android Auto isn't compatible with the tablet. Is there a way I can force it to work? Maybe use some form of crack of some kind?

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    I've tried doing these steps. There aren't any notifications enabled for an app that would produce this issue. Google Lens is not installed on my phone. I think it's just built in.

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    I tried the other solutions, but they didn't work 100%. I'm kind of out of ideas at this point. I just factory reset the phone last week. I don't even have a lot of apps on the phone. I thought it was "Google Suggestions", but when I turned that off it sort of messed with my ability to search my...

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    Well, it worked for me when I turned it off. However, now I'm not getting contact suggestions when I type a name in the Contacts app. I also can't get suggestions for contacts when I start typing a person's name in the SMS app. Oh boy...

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    I don't know what the correct name is. When I tap the icon, it says Google Lens, Share, etc. I think it's baked into the ROM like you said. I reset everything I could and it still won't go away. I'm also noticing when I press the "Apps" button (Square icon) on the navigation button an icon comes...

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    I don't have an app called Google Lens. It's not even installed. I went to Settings > Special App Access > Display over other apps. None of my apps have this permission.

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    I have a Google Pixel 5. I don't remember always remembering it being there. I did do a factory reset last week. This is when I started to notice it. I'm on Android 13. If I tap the icon, it shows a list of apps and people I can share it to. It says "Lens, Copy, Share, Save, when I tap it...

    How do I turn off this image search/share button?

    How do I turn off the icon that is in this image? Every time I open a photo or view certain apps, I get this Share/Google Lens search button. I can't find in the settings where to turn it off. It's very annoying.

    Hey everyone, I have a OnePlus 7T phone. I installed Tasker and AutoInput. I'm trying to create a task that will press and hold a large button in the middle of the screen which will remote start my car. I need to hold the button for about 5-10 seconds before letting go. I have tried AutoInput...

    Smart lock sometimes reognizes my home and doesn't ask me to unlock, sometimes not

    I have an S9. It seems that sometimes it reognizes my home and doesn't ask me to unlock the phone. Other times it says "You'll need to unlock your phone to perform that request." This happens when I try to use "OK Google" prompts. Anyone have suggestions?

    Help CM Mod and Samsung OS Updates / Tethering Questions

    I've owned my Samsung S5 G900F for about a month now. I basically like it, even though it can be a little frustrating at times. My questions are pretty straight forward. My phone has CM12 and it's running Android 5.1.1. 1. If I want to update my OS, can I still do that while being rooted? 2...

    Help OK Google and Voice Commands don't always work?

    Hey all, I have the S5 G900F and I live in NJ. I bought this specific S5 model because while I was doing my research on buying a S5, I read that the regular US model didn't have some of the bands that the G900F has. So, I bought that one. I've been noticing that when I'm driving, sometimes the...

    Hey all, I'm new to owning an Android. I recently bought an S5 G900F that has CM12 on it. I'm noticing that every single time I give my phone a voice command, it leaves behind an open window. This is very annoying. If I ask my phone to turn off bluetooth or adjust the brightness, it'll do it...

    Help Nokia Phone Will No Longer Tether to iPod Touch

    I know this is not an Android question, but I really don't know where to put this. I have a Nokia Asha 302 with a data plan from AT&T. I've been using it to share my internet to my iPod Touch (and PC Laptop) via Bluetooth (yes, Bluetooth NOT WiFi). About a month ago, the iPod Touch will not...
