I followed the instructions on this archived reddit post with my nexus 6p.
"How to change the trigger word for google now" (no direct link because I am too new.)
I cannot seem to get it working, so I thought I would ask for some help.
I have tried systematically switching on and off options in AutoVoice, e.g., "run in foreground" and "alternative method", and substituting other apps in place of "VoiceSearchActivity" in Tasker, e.g., "DspHotwordVoiceSearchActivity", but no luck.
The hardware and up-to-date Google Now app in my nexus 6p should be compatible with this method.
Has anyone with a nexus 6p, or anyone with Marshmallow got this working?
I am using AutoVoice (v 2.0.46) with AutoVoice Pro Unlock.
Thanks!
Sorry not much help, but I thought you could change the trigger word(s) to anything you wanted?
I tried for about 20 min to retrain "ok google" to another phrase but it would only recognize "ok google." Maybe retraining worked in previous versions, but even "ok Jarvis" did not work.
Just a crazy thought, I wonder if the default language has anything to do with the stringency for "ok google" recognition. Maybe people who were successful at retraining the "ok google" trigger use a different default language.
Google Assistant used to work seamlessly with Google Maps which began voice navigation promptly. Now assistant will take me to Maps but it only shows the route and no way to begin navigation (much less voice). Anyone with this problem? I've tried this on several ROMs with same result.

If I say a location to Google Assistant a box comes up with choices and selecting directions opens Google Maps. Pressing the car icon starts navigation. Are you trying to use Google assistant to start navigate without any physical interaction with phone?
Yes and it always worked before. All I had to do was ask assistant to take me to a destination. It would open maps and voice directions began.

When did it stop working like that?
Not sure exactly. I flash ROMs constantly and hadn't tried this feature in a while. In fact I can't get voice navigation in Maps even if I open that application directly. If I hit the start button after entering a location it just shows the route but nothing else happens. ?
6P, 7.1.1, nmf26f: this happens to me in my vehicle and i turn the bluetooth connection to my car audio (android 5.1.1) off and she begins to tell me what to do again. ymmv.
Hmmm. Don't know about that. I did notice the "while driving" (works with google maps) toggle on ok google detection is grayed out.
Edit--The problem isn't with GA it is with Google maps. I tried all the things I found on the net (turning off bluetooth, turning off play voice over bluetooth in map settings) still no voice navigation.
When you are navigating there should be a little speaker icon under the magnifying glass. Did you try toggling that? It can mute and unmute voice navigation. If you are on a custom ROM you can also try reinstalling GApps.
Thanks. Tried both of those but still doesn't work. Uninstalled maps and reinstalled also. Still no voice navigation.
Has anyone received the Google Assistant update yet? It was suppose to role out yesterday. Just wondering since the default for this phone is Moto assistant if we will get it or not.
Love the Nougat update

I installed the "Play Services Info" app by weberdo and used it to download Google Play Services version 10.2.99 (440-148249840) from APK Mirror. After a couple of reboots and disabling Moto Voice, Google Assistant became active. I had to touch the microphone icon, and after a couple of tries, it went into "configure" mode and learned my voice. Now working fine.

Didn't work for me. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Interestingly, for me, even while running on play services 10.2.98, I had all the assistant settings in the google app, and even paired it with my smartthings account, but alas, voice search is still going to the old style search. Updated to 10.2.99 and still seeing the same behavior. I didn't even know we were getting assistant, and was quite excited when I saw the settings, so when it didn't work, of course I got unreasonably upset. oh well

Alright, I let it sit for a couple hours, and it's working now. Though, still can't launch it from the microphone button in the google app or the google search bars on the home screens. That still launches the old voice search. Have to long touch the home button or use the "ok google" launch phrase. It's a shame it can't use the always-on mic from moto voice though.
I'm seeing some similar things. Google Assistant came down to my phone automatically. Set up the OK Google voice command. Seems to work fine when launching from the mic button on the assistant, but will not respond to always on mic when the phone is idle.
You do have to disable Moto Voice, or change the voice phrase to something other than OK Google. Phone still responds to Moto Voice command on idle, but not OK Google.
Yea, so unless there's a software update for Moto Voice, we're likely not going to get the always-on mic to work with assistant. There's a dedicated processor on the SoC that handles the always-on mic, and it's tied directly to Moto Voice. Moto voice really doesn't do a whole lot other than listen for the launch phrase. Everything after that point is basically handed off to Google Voice search. It really should be quite a easy fix (pass the requests onto assistant instead of voice search), but I doubt that will happen.

I woke up this morning and I finally got the assistant. just an FYI
I got it too. However, while it unlocks the phone when locked and the screen being on, it will not wake the phone when saying ok google. You hear the sound prompt that it heard you, but nothing ever follows up and the screen stays black
Anyone have Google assistant working on their phone yet? And if so how did you get it?

I have the xt1609 and no google assistant yet.
From what I've read it comes with a google play services update in the play store.
After that, you long press the home button from your home screen and the google assistant set-up screen will appear.
Hello,
Can you tell me if you have the same problem? When I say "Ok Google" and the phone is locked, it takes a while for the assistant to open and listen to my request (sometimes a few seconds). I have already excluded the app to optimize for the battery but nothing changes.
Do you have a solution to this? Thank you in advance.
