[Q] Change Program Which Runs on Bluetooth Trigger?

Does anyone know if there is a way to change WHAT program runs when the bluetooth button is pressed. Currently it is "Voice Dialer" but "Voice Command" would be a heck of a lot better.
Any ideas how to make the change?
Thanks!

Long press the search (magnifying glass) and that should do it!

I double checked and it turns out I did not ask how to run voice command. I asked how to get the bluetooth push to run that program instead.
Hope you had a good time posting though. Congrats on adding a post to your post count.

Brutal...don't use a bluetooth, but tasker allows you to open programs based on state, ie bluetooth connected...if that helps. Plus it's just fun to mess around with.

[Q] Anyone use Llama?

I just downloaded and setup Llama. So far it has been very handy in letting me adjust my settings based on whether I am at work or home.
However, I attempted to setup an event to toggle GPS on when I open the Maps application and to turn off GPS when I close the application. However, it doesn't do so! It did note that it cannot do this on ICS as the permissions to do so have changed. However, via Google Search, I did find some mention of it working for some people but they didn't say how.
Anyone here able to do that? If so, how? If not, any other suggestions (Tasker?) on how I can accomplish this?

It doesn't work on stock. Use custom ROM like CM.

You probably already got your answer or quit looking by now but you can toggle gps. You need to use the Secure Settings plugin from the Play Store. I think you might need to be a root user to unlock all the functionality as was mentioned before but mine works like a charm now.
Another great find for me was using the Smart Shortcuts app so that when I plug in my headphones, llama turns down my volume to a manageable level and pops up a list of apps (pandora, google music, stitcher...) I use my headphones with. I do the same for when I plug in any USB, it pops up with a link to care home or clock or my alarm app because I'm usually only plugging in at night or in the car.
I just wish I had some other ideas to look through. I'm sure there is a lot more this thing can do that I'm not thinking about.

I think there is an explanation in the app. Google changed how gps could be toggled. I gave up turning off gps a long time ago. It really only uses power when an app requests it and judging by the notification it's not very often. By default llama uses cell towers, but I use wifi to pin point my location. That way my Bluetooth doesn't turn off until I reach my driveway.

GoogleNow Hotword Detection only works once

Whenever I use googlenow, the hotword detection only works on first use. When you first bring it up and the search bar read "Search, or say Google." So I say google and ask it a question and it displays the results. However any subsequent attempt to say google, does nothing (and of course I still have the app open). Is this by design? Or is something wrong? Has anyone seen this and know of a fix? S-Voice seems to work all the time. I am able to say "Hi Galaxy" to activate it.

I think this is intentional, it's how it has worked on all of my devices. Hopefully they change it, but I assume it's because Now isn't a conversational assistant like Siri or S voice.

Usage tip Bixby

Something I found out the hard way. I was giving Bixby a chance (ok, seeing if I could find funny question/response combinations), and at some point the long-press on the button stopped working.
Solution: Your settings panel MUST be in simple mode for it to work. Seems a little dumb. But anyway.

how did Bixby work for you?
def. not the best i had ... and sometimes it wakes up while im watching a movie or someone is talking near by!
im already looking into remapping the Bixby button with the google assist.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually like Bixby. I also love Google assistant but Bixby can to a lot of things on this phone that Assistant can't. Bixby can do most anything with phone settings that assistant can't. It has also not failed me in searches, navigation, and other commands I throw at it. It can't carry a conversation like Assistant can but I have friends for that [emoji6]

im with you on this one .. at least my friends didn't cost me $900

Overall, Bixby is a new toy, not proving super useful if there's ANY background noise. I've just been using it with the push button & talk mode, and it seems very sensitive and picks up all spoken words from anyone nearby.

I remapped the Bixby button to instantly launch the camera. Best thing I've done on a phone in a long, long time! Phone doesn't have to be unlocked either and it's instant. Doesn't matter what screen you are on or what app you are using! Look for bxActions app on the play store, use the paid version.

Thanks for the tip. I just did the same thing. That Bixby Button was useless! Having quick access to my camera is great though!

Where exactly in settings do you go to do This? I hate Bixby and I feel it slows this phone down so much.

You need the pro verson of bxactions, then it is under actions where you can change it. But first you have to enable bxactions in settings, accessibility, services.

Same here! At first, before I actually started really using it, and investigating others that tried to get it to work, it was frustrating(I don't use the Hi Bixby command, but just the button and talk).. But once I started training it in every location I am usually at, with background noise and all (it only took a few seconds each time, when I was bored and had a moment), it has been great! It does things that no other assistant can, as far as integrating with the phone(along with some of the same Google type stuff, but I never found that useful honestly)... There are a lot of commands and of course it's going to take time to learn them.. But I use Bixby multiple times a day, every day now!

Perhaps I don't talk fast enough for Bixby. With S-Voice command and my BT earpiece, I was able to create an appointment while driving without an issue. It worked nearly 100% of the time. However, with Bixby, I barely can get out half the phrase: "Create an appointment for Steve @ 10am tomorrow morning" before it cuts me off. UGH! Frustrating to say the least. This leaves me with a partial appointment on the screen that I have to pick up to finish.
But last night I discovered just how useless Bixby can be. I was grilling food and wanted a timer set for 4 minutes. I asked Bixby to "Start a timer for 4 minutes". What did it do? It brought up the timer and set it for 4 minutes, BUT IT DIDN'T START! Seriously? So much for hands free usage. After messing with it, I said forget it and used Google Assistant do to the same. It worked, set the timer and automatically started, without having to touch my phone a second time. I miss S-Voice, but I'm really beginning to hate Bixby.
My other annoying feature about Bixby is there are no audible voice replies. I say "Call the wife". Sometimes it works, sometimes it may not hear me correctly and doesn't speak to me asking for more input. It's on the screen, but not in my ear. Someone at Samsung needs to understand the object behind voice commands is to be HANDS FREE. This means it should not require you to pick up your phone to confirm something. At least S-Voice worked pretty good for that. I really wish there was a way to go back to that software instead. And no, I don't have the "Hi Bixby" feature turned on. I don't like anything listening to me all the time.

"ok Google" not working on 7T

Is it only me, or someone else is having issue with running Google assistant?
Tried reset voice commands, clear data for Google app, reinstal Google assistant, I followed help on Google site, nothing is working.
When I run assistant from app it is working, but no reaction on command "ok Google"

Working just fine here on 10.04

Try to go in assistants app battery optimization settings and change it to don't optimize. I'm thinking it's the one plus software trying to optimize battery, so assistant is not running in the background and picking up the ok Google

Done this also and it didn't help

Same issue here. 10.0.4. "Tried Everything" No solution. Works once after reboot. Then nothing. Works with the app. The rest of the time, not responding with voice command ok google.

Have given up on it since 2-3 Android generations, I hardly even use the google assistant

I couldn't even configure Android Assistant. I had to go to the Google app in the PlayStore, uninstall updates and only then was I able to enable the assistant. After the Google app auto-updated, the assistant settings remained enabled. You may have to uninstall the updates as well.

Matter of point being, the google assistant integration iteself has issues , if you could make it work thats great but it would most likely be temporary

Happened to me also. Installing beta app helped me. Make sure battery saver is turned off.

You need to configure google assistant for that. Long press the home button and once the assistant pops up, swipe up to configure the settings and let the assistant recognize your voice. Worked for me.

I've tried a lot of recommendations in here and still can't get "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" to work. It works only when I manually open the assistant from de bottom corner up but it doesn't work with screen off or outside the assistant activated bar.

Google home > Assistant > at the end of this screen, select your phone > activate "Voice Match"

It's on, retrained voice and it still doesn't work.

Try to disabling installed apps. After disabling every app try to say "ok Google".
Hope You will find app which is causing problems

Do you have an app installed which simulates a led notification? Like NotifyBuddy, LEDBlinker etc Uninstall that one and try again.

I literally don't have any apps installed other than google apps and XDA.
Still get the "google assistant unavailable" every so often when I try engage. So very frustrating. Anyone else have any advice on how to get it working reliably?

I noticed the same OK Google issue with Notify Buddy installed, I just uninstalled it and OK Google now works again. Maybe there's a setting in Notify Buddy that can help use it without interfering with the Assistant function?
