As others have noted, the Speech Services have their own settings for controlling auto updates.

My phone is a Samung A20e and I'm in UK and using English (UK)

My situation may have been slightly different in that the Google App was disabled in settings (I disabled it when I bought the phone). The problem first manifested itself after I downloaded an update (via Google Play Store) for "Speech Services by Google" (which it announced as a renamed and updated version of Google Text To Speech Engine).

With hindsight it might seem a bit odd that an update was being offered for a disabled app (i.e. I'm not sure if that is normal practice or not).

Sometime soon after the afore-mentioned Speech Services by Google update I received a notification sound and saw the scrolling download icon in noifications for an English (UK) update.

Couldn't work out what was the cause / what to do, so googled and found this thread.

From this thread I deduced that it was to do with the Google App. But as mentioned, Google App was disabled on the phone and so I could not access Google in Settings

So turned on Google App. Then offered an update to said app. So applied this and subsequently managed to access "Settings > Google > Settings for Google Apps > Search, Assistant & Voice > Voice > Offline Speech Recognition".

Tried changing the download settings as mentioned by chez6229. Issue went away, but returned a few hours later.

In the end what solved it for me was uninstalling an English (UK) language update (that was supposedly already there and may not necessarily be the same as the one that was trying to be downloaded), disabling English (UK), re-enabling English (UK), letting it reinstall the previously removed English (UK) update. Note that English (US) was still there throughout (is it installed by default on all devices anyhow?).

I then left the Google App enabled on for a day. All OK. So then disbled Google App again, still all OK for a few days now.

Clear cache & Force Stop + Restart: Temporarily removed but appeared again.

Uninstalled Speech service (from Play Store) & reinstalled (had Update option) + Restart: Temporarily removed but appeared again.

Uninstalled Speech service (from Play Store) & Disabled Speech Service (from phone's app settings): Resolved but unable to use Speech service untill Google adds a patch or update.

My Samsung Z-fold edge has been trying to download the English update for 4 days. I read through the forum, changed all the settings per the forum suggestions, and it's still stuck. I've turned my phone off and on several times a day and it's STILL STUCK. I have no idea what else to do. It's killing my battery. Please make it stop!!!!

I dont know where this came from, im pretty sure its from an apk or some sort
It says * Internet Access Required *0 in English btw

[Javier P]

As stated above this is a bug after a recent update for the Speech Services by Google. The quickest fix is force stop the app and clear cache in its Storage section.
