My G900A insisted on updating itself to Marshmallow and did so when I wasn't looking. Now when I do a long press on the home button, Google Assistant pops up instead of the regular Google Search. None of the assorted fixes for this I see on the web seem to help. The best I can do is start the Google Search app, then go to "Menu > Settings > Google Assistant > Settings > Phone > Google Assistant" and turn off the slider there. Now when I long-press the home button, I get a dialog telling me to turn on Google Assistant and there's nothing there allowing me to ignore that and carry on like I did prior to this update.
Whoops! The solution is to install "Home Button Launcher". The "Assist" app needs to be manually changed for this to work. Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Device assistance app. Then set the desired app to "Home Button Launcher". By default it should then launch Google Search. A little rocket will seem to come out of the home button, but that's not too terrible a distraction.

I searched side button, also searched google. My mother-in-law got a Droid Pro and this button is haunting her.
How do I change what this button does, and can I make it open certain apps?
Please help.... it's my mother-in-law
Shortcuts > Settings > Quick Launch
Edit the side button function. Found it on the Motorola site. JESUS!
I can't believe it doesn't take a picture in the camera app!
Jeeze (again)!
Clarification for some users.
Add the widget: Shortcuts -> Settings -> QuickLaunch then tap on it.

Try this
From the home screen,
1. Pull down notification bar (at top of screen)
2. tap the settings gear near the top right
3. scroll to the bottom and go into ACCESSIBILITY
4. Go into TALKBACK
5. If talkback is on, simply turn off and be done, if it is already off, turn it ON (please reread this if you are unclear)
Continue if talkback was off
6. go into SETTINGS at the bottom
7. uncheck each of these items
8. go back
9. turn off talkback
Hey everyone!
Unfortunately through the dexterity and interaction settings, I mapped a tap on my screen to the back button. Now I can't do anything except go into the settings menu through Google Now. I'm stuck on the home screen and require a fix soon.
Trying to get "OK Google" to work without saying "OK Google". Found a thread that says Home Button Launcher app would work. However, when I go to the "Configure Apps" screen as described here, I don't have a "Default Apps" menu item:
http://dynamicgandroidapps.svn.cloudforge.com/main/sites/m6/marshmallow.html
From there I'm supposed to be able to go into the "Assist and voice input" option to set Home Button Launcher to do something.
Any ideas? Is this something that the Axon 7 has locked down for some reason?
(new to Android, so apologize for the pretty basic question...)
Hello guys,
i have stock P9 Lite, and the one thing that is driving me crazy is the Home long press button Google assistant pop-up. I Know you can turn off the assistant application by switching it to "none" under help and phone input in the phone settings, i did that, the fucntion got disabled successfully, but after couple of hours ( usually during the night ) it magically comes back to be turned on again....
Should i disable somewhere something more also?
Thanks

Personally i am using Swipeup Utility (sorry no link new user can't link) . You can set it at the long press handler and then you set it to do no action (or select one of custom actions)
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/ try this if can help you
You have to set the custom action "Google Now On Tap" to long press home button, it will open google assistant because now on tap was replaced by assistant.
Disable google app
