Well...my Google Assistant issue is NOT fixed. I reported this one on every beta update since the first A12 beta. This is a major disappointment.
Also that pig puke pink is back. This I might be able to fix. FIXED

I might be wrong about the Assistant issue. It does look like it's fixed. I say might because it doesn't appear to work all of the time. I need to do more testing, but it looks promising.

Refresh my memory, what's the problem with your assistant? Mine is also not fixed and she won't do jack, nothing, nada. Actually crashes the app every time.

Still no theme changing though. I miss the different fonts of yore

Assistant would not turn on Do Not Disturb, it would turn it off though. I have several routines the have turn on action. I use some of those when driving. So a pain when it doesn't work.
Now it looks like it does.

Great, sounds like the beta may have fixed it for you. I don't know what's up with mine, I've tried the Google app and the Google beta app cleared the cache. Tried everything short of a factory reset which I prefer to avoid.

ok, pros and cons of rebooting my P5 while "Optimizing Apps"? It keeps hanging right at that spot above the 's' in Apps, as seen in my screenshot in a post above. I hit the pause button, then resumed, it basically started over, and stuck itself at t he same spot.

Thinking of hitting the pause again, and then rebooting...Yea? Nay?

Mine didn't go all the way on the install bar. It hung at that point for a while then got the pop-up to restart.

Ironically right after you posted that, I looked over at it and the Restart button appeared *phew*

What phone? Are you still on the Google beta app?

I will say that after it's going beta 4 on my Pixel 5, voice typing via Google Assistant seems much faster and accurate. And responsive; meaning it starts to type within an app and I don't have to have my mouth right up to the phone. In beta 3.1, it wasn't as responsive. Not sure if everyone here else's voice typing via Google assistant but it's nice to have.

Interesting..all of a sudden my Gboard would not show up for any typing needs no matter what app I opened. I had to reboot my phone to type this post here in Tapatalk. If it happens again I send a bug report.

Yes I am still on the Google beta, but I dumped it and went back to non beta and no difference.
I think maybe I didn’t wait long enough to get removed from the google beta. Giving it another try.

I read that a bug that didn't allow Messages RCS would work through a VPN. That is exactly the issue I was discussing with Google support. I and they didn't realize it was a bug in A12. I just tested it out and sure enough it now works.
Thanks for posting the change log.

Install assistant app. See if that helps. Then clear the storage and force stop and see if that helps.

Thanks kizzy, but no dice. The screenshot below shows what happens when I push my home button to roust the assistant. I asked what time it is and that's what I got. I get the same thing no matter what I ask a white box with the question coming back at me. I'll probably do a factory reset but I want to wait until the release candidate is out so I can take advantage of not possibly having to do it again. I can always go back to my iPhone although I'm not looking forward to that but I might if it gets too annoying. I'll just pretend like it's 2010 and I don't have an assistant on my Nokia, haha.
