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

Long press home button google assistant function

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

easy way to do print screen and disable "place finger to unlock" stage

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.

Can't turn off Google Assistant

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.

Google Search not working on phone only.

Hey All,
I have noticed that lately the Google search tab on my main screen (I am using Nova Launcher) is having an issue.
if I tap the search button then tap the microphone It will display "Listening" I speak and stop then...nothing. It stays on listening. All I can do is hit a navbar menu button to return to the home screen.
If I use "OK Google" through my Android Wear watch (Asus Zenwatch 1) it works fine and displays on the watch.
Any ideas? I have already tried erasing the cache. Must be some setting that's borked.
Thanks,
Rick
