I recently bought the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6t and I was watching a video about some features that could be turned on and one of the features they were talking about was a long press the power button to activate Google Assistant when I go into settings and go to the button and gestures tab there is no option to turn on the long press for Google Assistant the only option there is a double tap for camera.? Is this something that was removed from the T-Mobile version only and if so does anyone know a way to get that feature back or even an app to add the feature?
I was wondering about this also.

Supposedly it's coming in an update.
Already well covered here. It's not there yet. Some say it will supposedly come with one of the updates. I haven't seen anything officially stating that. So take it for what it's worth. There are plenty of ways to launch it though, gestures, long press the home button if you have one, or just set up "Hey Google".

Not on the T-Mobile version.
It only has options for long press/double press of home, recent, back buttons. Not for power button.
Which means if you do the guestures only navbar option, there's no button press for assistant.
Unless you install the app and just put a shortcut on the home screen.

Sorry I missed long press power, had home on my brain
But long press home brings up Google Search Assistant - same as if you said "OK Google"
That's the default that I see and get from following PapaMag's suggestion - granted its not the power button but if you are looking for search Google search assistant - its there

Well the whole reason you would use the power button is if you used only gestures and had no nav bar.
It is also missing a huge feature called quick launch. It for whatever reason is missing from the T-Mobile variant and without going through the troubles of flashing to stock can anyone help or find a solution as to how to reenable it?

without losing other home button functionality such as double tap to launch camera and the triple tap ability?
Currently it does Now On Tap and you have to say the launch phrase to do a voice search but I'd like if it just went straight to voice search. I'm able to do that but I haven't found an app that can do that and still keep the camera quick launch ability.
Triple tap?

You can set triple tap to make it so that the screen shrinks down for easier 1 handed use, I didn't specify though since I couldn't remember what it's called.
@ohmimpotence , did you find a way to set long press to Voice Search? On my old S4 double tap launched voice search, with help of app called Home2Shortcut, I was able to switch it from s-voice to google. I assumed they made it long press on S7 since double press is camera, and there is button for app switcher. I would really like to get to Google voice search by long home press, straight from sleep mode. It is very handy while driving.
May this helps -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/voicesearch-tap-t3556995
I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.

I think maybe you're long pressing the home button? Just tap home, see if that helps..
Na I was tapping once, one tap or long press was bringing it up, but I found a solution, had to uninstall the updates for the Google app and the reupdate it

S voice is dead starting from the galaxy s8. It is (or will be in the very near future) replaced by Bixby that has its own button below the volume keys and doesn't need to use the home button at all.

Once I have the google bar in desktop I see no usage for long press in home button for same function so in my S7 Edge I had S Voice to pull contacts for example.
Never tried Bixby as it's not available in my language.
Hi, you can change function of long press home button in setting and assistant of mobile

I get what you're saying. But it is what it is.
As a side note, the home button no longer brings up Google now cards or search, like the search bar on the home screen. Now it's set to call up Google assistant, for what it's worth. I personally use its voice feature only for alarms, reminders and fact searches.

Just downloaded bixby. Should be out for everyone today. See if it scratches your itch. [emoji4]

Bixby is not available in many languages now but out and available to every one, so I think svoice has made its time now it will be more useless as it was until now. Bixby seems very promising and much more complete and advanced as every other voice assistants I think
Hi on my op6 I could.hold power button for .5 seconds to get assistant to launch. That option seems to be missing on my op6. Is it just not enabled on the T-Mobile variant ?
T-Mobile needs to update their software to the latest from OnePlus.
You could always set one of the gestures to assistant. I can't take credit for that idea.
