At least I can use Shazam
Google assistant is useless. I can’t rely on it when I’m driving.
Somehow the assistant manages to instantly turn on and respond any time I don’t need it, but when I do, I have to repeat myself at least 10 times, for a basic question
Yeah, Assistant blows much of the time:
“Hey Google. What’s two plus two?”
“Sorry, I don’t understand. But I found something similar. Would you like to know what two plus two is?”
“Yes, dammit!”
“On the website Add A Couple of Numbers for the Hell of It, they say, two plus two is four. Would you like a little more context?”
“No!!!”
“Alright. I’m here to help.”
Arrgh.
What do you mean, [Buffering 55%] by Radio Melody is such a banger
Wait til you hear ‘404’ or ‘not available in your country’
It is there to spy, not to assist
On pixel 2 and 3 this shit was amazing. I never had an issue with Google Assistant absolutely perfect assistant app. Then I got a samsung fold and, despite allegedly being the same app, it sucks all the donkey dick and balls. It’s clearly not the same Assistant, and if it IS then google fucking ruined it.
It struggles recognizing the switch from wifi to data. Getting in my car and giving it commands to play music takes forever because it hangs up with the (now distant and poor) wifi
Commands to call people when I’m outside (walking dog, garden etc) suck for the same reason.
Voice to text is trash. It’s always getting words wrong, mishearing requests, or putting words that I didn’t fucking say. Half of my sentences start with “is” for some reason. “Is I need you to get dog food” like bruhhhh
I thought it was just because Google was punishing samsung users to push Pixels. This thread makes me feel vindicated. I wasnt wrong or mis-remembering with rose tinted glasses. It really is hot garbage lol
This has been happening to me on a Pixel 6 and it’s annoying as hell. Their assistant has devolved
walking dog, garden etc
Your garden can walk? /j
Wasn’t this a key feature on pixel? Continuous song identification?
It is, and I quite enjoy it.
Does it work like what OP is saying? Based on your response don’t think it is
Now Playing is a pixel exclusive feature that works in the background without triggering assistant and shows the currently playing song on the lock screen and always on display. It seems like OP is trying to trigger this feature from the foreground? Which I think would be a good feature but I doubt Google would let any phone use this cause profit. So I guess this is still fitting for mildly infuriating lol
OP is IMO quite clearly trying to tell google assistant on a not-necessarily-pixel device to identify the song, which should be a kinda standard feature for voice assistants.
I mean, yeah, if you’re playing media, it’s going to assume that’s what you want to identify and will pull from that source, first. Why activate the mic if you don’t need it to?
It seems like you’ve misunderstood this feature of Google Assistant.

Actually, all I wanted it to do is this:

Close enough
