Speech services downloading English update stuck

[Davidoo]

I have a 6 Pro from Verizon. Every time I restart I get the following notification. "Speech services by Google downloading English (US) update, waiting for network connection."

Of course I'm on the Verizon network and the download never starts. My first thought was that something was set to only download over wifi, so I went to Google settings and changed the Mobile data and Messaging setting to wifi and cellular under Data Management. No change. If I switch to wifi, the notification goes away, like it finished the download, but on restart the message comes back.

Anyone else getting this notification it have any ideas how to make it finish the download?

re:

I had both UK and US languages in my Google system, The one from the UK was the one causing the problems, so I uninstalled it then downloaded it again. The offending download disappeared when I restarted the Phone and so far it hasn't reappeared. If you only have one language installed then you could install say the US one before deleting the one causing the problem, then download the problem language again before restarting.

re:

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.

Why is my "English language update download" still not working after 4 solid days?

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!!!!
