Google assistant long press home help - LG V20 Questions & Answers

As of this morning, Google assistant is now working on my stock v20. I do need a little help though. Long pressing home button on home screen gets me the Google app. If I press it again after Google is open, Google assistant appears. If I'm on any other web page or app, long pressing home gets me Google assistant.
Is there any way to get it working consistently when pressing home button even when on home screen? I wasn't sure if clearing the app will solve it.
Thanks

I found out that changing the DPI affected whether Google Assistant would appear. I had mine set to 480 or lower. I found that the magic number to get it to pop up in the first place was a DIP higher than 480. Don't know if that's the case with you, but it fixed my woes.

Is this Google Assistant?

That's "now on tap". Contextual results based on what's on your screen.

This helped. Thanks. I wonder why DPI is the cause of this? Hmmmm

Did you update to the latest play services and Google app? If not, go to all mirror. After a couple of hours it should happen. I am on T-Mobile if that helps

It works ok with the desire
can you include the home dock app as well?
thanks
Fantastic! Thanks.
Thanks!
I would also love to have the home dock as well.
Does anyone know how to get the "Try saying Navigate to..." thing to stop showing up?
Is there a chance that the havigation icon could start another navi program than google maps? I use copilote 8 live. Hope there is an option to change the behavior of the icons.
Thanks in advance.

Probably a really dumb question... I have installed it but can't figure out how to launch it? and I don't see it it "manage applications"?

It should just appear in ya application folder? The icon is a small steering wheel!
As for the Home dock, I cant find it anywhere so no can do on that!

Yes, I would be glad too
Thanks in advance...

You would have to ask the developer of this app for that? I only put it here to be useful if anyone wanted it?

[Q] [4.2] Play Store showing only Apps & Music

Yet another 4.2 problem
Since the roll-out of "Play Music" in UK I have only been able to see "Apps & Music" in the Play Store.
I've cleared the data & cache for Play Store & Play Services as well as Google Services Framework, with no luck of getting Books & Movies back, they show up on the web just fine. I've also got the apps for them on my tablet and everything in them loads fine, just that it's gone from Play Store.
Anyone else having that issue?
p.s. Stock ROM, 4.2, rooted. Play Store version 3.9.17.

Yes, I've set it to 160 or 170 first thing when I did fresh install.
Did you get this fixed? I'm on stock with density also on stock but I too can only see apps and music..

Sadly not, I hope the upcoming Play Store update will fix this.
I'm on 4.2 and changed my DPI. I noticed that play was no longer showing me books. Restoring DPI had no effect.
What fixed the problem was to delete my Google account, clear Play data, reboot, and add my account back.

[Q] Help removing malware

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

It's working perfectly for me. Today I installed Google launcher app via playstore n after it was installed it popped up for a newer version n then I could place google search bar from widgets onto home screen. Now once I tap on it, conveniently opens search page n when tapped on microphone symbol voice assistant is activated perfectly delivering asked results.
Is this not working for you? See my home screen pic
