Is this a Samsung s10 issue or Android Pie 9.0 issue?

Well, I suggest you bite the bullet and reinstall the firmware. In your situation you can use Emergency software recovery in Samsung Smart Switch. This is specifically for Samsungs and made by Samsung, it's not some kids playing with coding so you can have the confidence in know its use will not brick your phone. It will also keep your data intact.

Samsung talked me through that process. In fact the tech took control of the phone and did everything. after 2 hours we finished and it didn't fix it. Sending it to Samsung as they think this isn't and app or software issue at this point.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully you get the phone back soon, firing on all cylinders.

Not sure I'll keep it. Odd thing is I have a Nokia V2 I use for backup and that thing has zero issues with Google Assistant and Zero issues when using Smart Lock. a phone i paid $39.97 for at Walmart.

Sounds like it might be permission setting.

That permission setting being?

I'm still guessing here, but go to Apps, pull up the Google app, and look at permission. See if it includes contacts, and phone (among others). If not, then that's my guess is the issue.

No permissions setting in settings,

I didn't say to go to settings from Google app. Go to the device settings, then to Apps....

 

[ThrowinRocks]

I worded that wrong. Nothing is turned off in permissions. Working and not paying close attention to my typing.

Ah, okay. Bummer. I was hoping.

I was just thinking and I did notice something odd and that's that it seems to happen most often when I'm in my truck. I'm starting to think it might be a bluetooth issues since it's paired to my phone and truck. I use my phone more than the factory voice commands in the truck because it tries to call everyone but the person I tell it to call. (Nissan)
I'm going to turn bluetooth off and try it on the way home.

I'll update then.

If you haven't already tried, give this a shot. I had issues recently with Smart Lock and this worked for me. Long press on your Trusted Location (your address) and click on Edit. On the map move your finger ever so slightly until you see your address as latitude/longitude coordinates. Save and reboot your phone and see if that fixes it. I'm on day 3 after making the change and so far so good!

I have like 6 addresses saved for Smart Lock. They don't show latitude/longitude coordinates anymore. It shows it like this now. 5777+4F HASKELL, TX, USA
5777+4H, 4G, 5F, 4J, 4M etc. Even use the next door neighbors address since their house is 30 foot away. Nadda

As for the Okay Google issue it seems it is the Bluetooth in my Truck and my phone. Nothing I can do about that. If I use my phone for Navigation for me to be able to hear directions I have to turn off the bluetooth or change my radio to the AUX channel and i hear it over the stereo speakers

Go to Google settings under Voice. I see some Bluetooth related settings with one about audio recording that you could try toggling on/off to see what happens.

Nothing that would really make a difference.

When I edit my address and move my finger around slightly on the map, I get coordinates in place of addresses. It even said Unknown at one spot. Sorry it wasn't a fix for you!
