Google Assistant Update for S7 (where is it?)

[monicakm]

Even if you have the proper version it still has to be activated on Google's server side.

Thanks. And I'm guessing that's totally out of my control. With the info I provided, can you tell me if I have the proper version?

I got it, I GOT IT! Now what do I do with it? I Googled how to get GA and discovered I had to turn the phone off, hold down the power key till the Samsung logo appeared, release and then hold down the volume down button till the phone reboots. That's probably in one of the 4 pages of this thread....admittedly I haven't been paying a lot of attention concerning all the hoopla over GA.
Playing around with it and so far it seems like it does what Google did before but with an Amazon "Alexa" spin on it.

Um, you didn't have to do that.

Just get the update and wait.

 

[monicakm]

But I didn't have to wait by rebooting the phone

What version of Google play services do you have?

Can I just ask what region you're in and what language your phone runs?

 

[valleyboy22]

First i have seen this and looks really good. Will wait to see if it comes onto my s7 edge soon?

 

[Daryl Seabrooks]

I have the S7 Edge and just received the GA about an hour ago. My G.P.S version is 10.2.98.
It's a welcome change from G.N.

Which region and language?

 

[Daryl Seabrooks]

East coast, English.

Since it seems they're rolling this thing out by region. Anyone in Texas got Google assistant yet? I'm still waiting. I'm a beta tester in both the Google app and Google services

I'm in Ft. Worth and don't have it yet. I am also a beta tester for both.

guys, relax.
I just got google assistant today on my S7 edge marshmallow.

In my opinion it's "kind of okay"
I joined the Google play services Beta so that might explain why I have it
Anyways just wait it's not that big of a deal.

Edit: it's buggy...
Edit2: I live in FL

Hopefully soon fingers crossed

I have it. Not a fan. How do I disable it to where I can long press to get the google search screen up?

Can't be done, but if you're on a non home screen and long press home, when the assistant comes up you can swipe up and get most of the stuff you're used to from Google Now.

 

[mgloss]

Wow......so why would google do this? I loved the quick Long press and search. Bad move IMO. Thanks for the response!

 

[Groundhound]

Deployment appears random to me. My wife has it on her 2.5 y.o. LG G3, while I'm still waiting with my S7. Same Verizon account, Atlanta area.

Oh there's still a quick way to do it that way with the widget on the home screen, as for why they went to voice only ... not sure, but it does sound like they're adding the ability to search with text to Assistant in the near future.
