Question Google assistant not recognising voice/not working

[rel87]

Since I think past november, Google Assistant stopped working correctly in my device (spes, 128/6, global) and others from friends (spes, 128/4, global).

The symtoms are, it does react to "Hey Google" (or "Ok Google") but then, when its time to give the order, it doesnt listen, it stays here, with the four colored line like waiting for the sound but the line stays quiet and doesnt move when I talk, like if the mic were not working.

Didn't work after updates, through MIUI 12/13 and Android 11/12.

Anyone have some trick to make it work?

Thanks.

Have same issue but sometimes Google assistant works and sometimes it acts like that, also I noticed that Google assistant doesn't work when screen turned off for some time, it does react to 'Ok Google' if screen just turned off or between couple of minutes of turning off the screen, after that it doesn't respond, I believe it has something to do with MIUI optimization so I already set Assistant as No restrictions in battery saving settings but still, same issue.. hope someone help with that.. I used to use Google assistant for long time so I got annoyed because of this bug..

I also tried battery saving options, retraining my voice, reinstalling, erasing cache, data, etc., but nothing. :-(

Some time ago doing research about the subject I read something about Google not supporting Google Assistant anymore , because it was not giving enough money or something like this, maybe our device is more or less unsupported now. Can't find the article now. I would like to know if this is an issue on others Redmi phones, the 11S, 11Pro, etc.

Google Assistant might be doomed: Division “reorganizes” to focus on Bard

The Google Assistant makes no money and hasn't released hardware in two years.

Hi All,

I'm not surprised by this at all.... like other's here, I noticed Google Assistant (GA) had stopped responding after I updated from Android 11/MIUI 12.5 to Android 12/MIUI 13. I kinda wasn't bothered, gave up on it... that was until the other day. I called out to my GA Home Mini, and noticed my phone responded again, where as it hadnt uptil then. The only thing I noticed at the time was my phone was being charged at the time, which kinda implies based on above, whether it is power related in latest update. As being on mains power, it seemed to work like used too.

I am shocked and gutted to hear Google have given up on GA, although that said, not surprised... as I noticed all my GA's around the house (1x Google Home, 2x Home Mini's, 1x Google Hub) have all become dumb in the last year or so, during the Plandemic... I thought it was when we changed Router settings to let our neighbour use our WiFi when they ISP issues, then reverting back to our normal Router settings, it became less Smart.

Noticed GA was either getting the answers wrong, or not at all... I'm so annoyed, I barely use the GAs now and just type it on a Tablet if I need an answer... defeets the point of an Assistant??

Google advancing, saving human interaction and becoming smarter?? We're going backwards arn't we...??

Why does Google launch so many products, when at the time of the launch, brilliant, but then kill them off before they've finished/polished it off... In my eyes, GAs still needed far more work, nowhere near what they advertised, at least not in the UK... USA is a different story !!

Keep calling out to GA "Send feedback" GA responds "What needs fixing/improving" I then reply "EVERYTHING!!!"

Got exacly the same problem on a brand new Redmi Note 11 with original rom.
First I flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom, still the same problem.
Since two days I'm running the pixelexperience rom and it works perfecly fine.

What I found out is: xiaomi removed some important parts from android because the google assistant isn't allowed in china. It seems like even in the eu and us versions of the rom they broke the assistant.
Since the xiaomi.eu rom is based on the original one it also just dosn't work.

Looks like any rom based on the aosp works fine.
