    Google Assistant Not Working!

    You had written: I just realized something... you're using the mic in the chrome search bar... You are correct about that. When I use an alternate method for opening assistant, it does work properly. But, here's the rub, until last week... I've always used the mic button in the Chrome...

    Google Assistant Not Working!

    I did check that, and even removed all of my Google accounts from the phone, restarted the phone, added just one account back in, restarted the phone, made sure that sync was on for all items, both in that Google account and for my Outlook account. I can see all of my contacts in the native...

    Google Assistant Not Working!

    First, excuse me for not responding to this thread in a timely manner. I synced my contacts in the native contacts app... By choosing manage contacts, and then sync contacts.

    Google Assistant Not Working!

    In response to your three suggestions in reverse order... I did a cache partition wipe which did not fix the issue. I also turned off assistant and restarted my phone and granted permissions, which did not fix the issue. As to restraining the voice model, I am manually hitting the button for...

    Thanks for your response, I did uninstall the updates, but it did not change any behaviors of Assistant.

    Google Assistant Not Working!

    I had posted a similar thread about this in the past. At this point, on my s23 Plus, I cannot get Google Assistant to dial any number I call out or to dial any of my contacts. I have synced my contacts from Outlook, with permission allowed to sync contacts and see personal results in both...

    Voice command will not dial contacts.

    Well, I think that did it. I cleared cache, and cleared data... And force stopped Google after deleting all of my contacts. I then resynced my Outlook contacts to my phone, and all 600 contacts came over immediately. It populated my text message history with the proper name for each...

    Voice command will not dial contacts.

    I deleted all my contacts, and also removed the Google account... Then I chose to sync my contacts only with my Outlook account, and it synced all of my contacts and filled in all the names in my text message app. So now, everything looks fine... Except the problem still persists that I can't...

    I did check, and that setting was already on. :(

    Voice command will not dial contacts.

    Thanks for your continued patience and health in trying to sort this out. I did turn on Bixby, and it worked in successfully calling any of my contacts that I would name. However, and trying to use the Google Assistant... It does not work. Again, I can get it to dial a specific number if I...

    Voice command will not dial contacts.

    First, thank you so much for your reply, and good thoughts provided. I am using the Google voice Assistant... Not Bixby... I checked the app permissions for Google, and contacts are included in the allowed permissions. Also, in the native contacts app, I have chosen not to sync any of my Gmail...

    Voice command will not dial contacts.

    I just switched to a galaxy S 23+, and I can ask my phone to…Call a specific number… And it works. However, when I say, call Steve… It does not respond, even though there are five Steve’s in my contact list. Point being that I can’t figure out how to make the voice command recognize my...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Delete Bixby notices?

    Good workaround answer, thanks. Of course that still doesn't answer the question of how you can delete those notices, as I now assume they will just always be there and stack up, and that there is no way to turn off new notices from coming in. I also received a response directly from Samsung...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Delete Bixby notices?

    Has anyone figured out how to delete the notices that are shown as an n in the upper right hand corner of Bixby's Main cards screen? It doesn't seem like holding your finger down on them or swiping left or right or reading them makes any difference. Thanks, Flash

    Hmmmm, guess there's no answer for this one, eh? Kind of frustrating to be in my email.....be a zillion emails down the page and sit flicking my finger repeatedly! :)
