Google Assistant over Mobile Data

[LionheartSilver]

I just updated my watch to Android Wear 2.0

If I try to use Google Assistant while my phone is connected to WiFi, it works (and really well, like to send a whatsapp to someone)

The moment I try to use Google Assistant without WiFi (over Mobile Data) it says 'Can't reach Google, check if watch is connected to WiFi or your phone'

Funny thing: if I connect the phone to a WiFi signal WITHOUT Internet connection, assistant works again...?

Does anyone else have this problem? I already tried enabling every option at Settings/Apps/System Apps/Google ...

Well that is one of the reasons I rolled back to 1.5.
It would work sometimes and many times it would give me that cant reach message so basically it was making my watch useless as it was very inconsistent. :/

I'm having the same issues, I've done the enabling permissions thing as well. Any one have any other experience with the issue?

Along side google assistant not working the play store won't load or even the weather!

That being said, even though those services aren't working google maps on wear runs fine.

These are some odd problems.

*** Update! ***
Not sure what happened but for some reason it started working.

Yes it does work now without the phone being connected to wifi.

Did you factory reset anything? (your phone or watch?) installed or flash something?

Well I am on the 2 core enabled kernal. I also followed instructions to give Google all permissions on the app Page. I turned on location from phone on the watch (not sure if that helps) and probably reset about 5-7 times haha.

Ohhh.
I also have the 2 core enabled kernel. If it's not much to ask, could you be more specific on the steps for the permissions and the location? Thanks in advance.

Sure, open settings--> apps ---> (Scroll down) system apps ----> google ---> permissions ---> enable permission to phone/etc... (I enabled all of them)

I noticed something today, make sure you have location services turned on, on your phone. I turned it off for a minute by accident and noticed none of the google assistant stuff worked anymore, back on and it worked well!

Cheers

Thank you! I'll try it next time I update to AW2, right now I'm using 1.5 again

Also having somewhat of the same issue... Here's what's happening to me.

Sometimes Google Assistant works and sometimes it's doesn't for me. When it's not working my watch shows that I am not connected to Bluetooth in the connectivity settings. However, my phone (ZTE Blade X Max Z983) shows I'm fully connected, and I'm getting all notifications as normal on my Asus Zenwatch 2. If I reboot both devices everything works perfectly as it should for a short time. And of course it works fine when I'm connected to WiFi, just not over Bluetooth on a mobile data connection. Both my phone and my watch are running 7.1 so I'm not sure if the where the issue lies.
