Anyone have "hey google" option in assistant?

[claykin]

Coming from the S8 to S9+ I figured I'd also finally see the "hey google" option for assistant. Nope. I also tried the beta Google app. Still nothing.

I'm wondering if only owners of Google Home devices get the extra phrase.

Anyone?

Pixel owners get Hey Google also.

Pixel owners get Hey Google also.

Thanks. I'm aware.

I meant Galaxy S8 or newer phones. I know a few people with galaxy phones and they get "hey google" but they also have Google Home devices. I don't.

I can say hey Google and my assistant opens. This is my first real Android phone so maybe I'm misunderstanding your question?

I too can say hey Google and it comes up on my s9 plus. I also have my Google home, but if you are asking if my Galaxy wakes up and responds to hey Google, it does.

Where is the setting to turn "Hey Google" on and off?

 

[lindajm22]

I don't have anything Google home. And I have a S9+

When you trained the assistant voice recognition, did it ask you to say both "ok Google" and "hey google"?

I have the 9 plus and my options for Google voice setup are greyed out. It worked fine on my Note 8 and I believe I had it on my S8 plus before that

I only have the option for "OK Google". For whatever reason, "Hey Google" doesn't work. I have two Google Home devices in the house, and they recognize both, but the Unlocked S9 only recognizes "OK".

A tad bit annoying, but tolerable.

It only asked me to say "ok Google", but in the help section it says that on some devices you can also say "hey Google" to access the assistant.

I have a Verizon S9+ so maybe carrier makes a difference?

I just test it again and both phrases open the assistant every time.

I'm able to use "Hey Google" on my TMO S9.

When training the Voice model it only asks you to say OK Google but if you say Hey Google instead it will change and ask you to say Hey Google again, then once more

I have the att s9 and no option for hey google. Would be nice though

Interesting. I didn't even have to do that. I said ok google three times in the training and I can still say hey google and the assistant opens up.

The app isn't called "Hey Google." It's called Google. And then you have to turn on the "Google Assistant" feature. Go to the settings of the Google app, and right at the top you should see settings for Assistant. That's when you'll get asked to train to it recognize your voice.

Mines grayed out which is weird.

I've tried this on 2 S9+ phones. Doesn't behave as you describe. Both pause and don't respond to "hey Google" during training.

My S7 works great with the assistant. I say "Hey Google" and it does pretty much what ever function I tell it to on the phone.

That is strange
