Hi to all,
I have encounter a boring problem with op9 pro paired with bluetooth headset (more than one).
every time I said on assistant by my bluetooth headsets (aftershokx aeropex, oneplus bullets wireless Z) any commands like "call mom" "open garage Stefano" "turn on stairs light", and so on, assistant telle me to unlock phone first (????). On assistant the option of "personal results on lockscreen" and the one relative to bluetooth devices is activated, but: "[...]yes, but first you need to unlock the phone.".
on my op7 pro i try same commands without any problems. So... which is the problem?
It's very boring, expecially driving, unlock the phone to use it to make a simple call or to open my garage door.

Check permissions, notifications and make sure no power management is enabled.
Possible conflict with another app.
Lol, sounds like it's settings could be screwed up by default.
Try searching Google for the same issue even on different makes/models as you're no alone... someone has found the solution.

    Yeah I would never not have a lock screen. Also my work mandates it through their apps so it's not even a possible consideration even if I did not care about security.

    It's yet activated...
    Try clearing Goggle Play Services data.
    Clear system cache.
    Try a network reset (can't hurt).
    You may have to delete/recreate the account if nothing else works.
    Play with it... eventually you'll get it working.

    This is also a problem that randomly plagues my devices.

    Yes, devices. Over the years, this repeatedly happens and then I stop using Assistant all together because it becomes useless to me.

    I recently upgraded to a S21 Ultra from a S9+ that was having the issue as well. After setting up my new device, it worked fine. 1 month later, without me changing anything at all, yesterday it stopped taking voice commands while locked and asks me to unlock. All commands now do this and there's no solution as far as I know.
    I've reached out to google on their help forums in the past, even had it happen on my Nexus 6P. They didn't care.
    Sounds like power management is active ie adaptive battery maybe?
    Power management... destroyer of worlds.
    If so it's a Samsung not Gookill issue.
    The only thing that should be toggled on is fast charging if you use it.

    Best to have a separate work phone.
    I know it seems farfetched that password protected hardware could turn into a major wack job... until it happens to you at a critical time.

    A few years ago I was down to one laptop and hard times. I had the bios password protected.
    It got corrupted. Lockout. There were also a 16 bit loader app that would only load on a 32 bit system as well as other critical apps that couldn't be recreated. Lost.
    Had no password been set more than likely I would still have full access.
    Meh, when it happens to you... you'll recall this ridiculous post of mine🤣
