I'm just wondering if I'm unique. I've got an Android Samsung s8. With a couple of days in between I get this text popping up:
"Your Google assistant is ready to help you get things done
turn on?"
Obviously I click no, because it's total bullshit. They still haven't been able to get it to work. The problem is that each time it pops up it blocks everything, so I have to deal with it. Which is dangerous when I'm driving. If I'm listening to podcasts with my hands full, I'm fucked until I get my hands unloaded. After clicking no, it'll pop up again within the next couple of minutes. And do this for about 20 minutes. Then it goes away for a few days. And then comes back. Also, when it's in this "phase" it might start audiobooks, or whatever randomly. I also have an Android S9, and that phone doesn't seem to have this. So I'm at a loss wtf is going on with my s8. I did have similar issues with the s7, but not as bad.
I'm reaching the point where I'm considering switching to iPhone. Because this ain't working.
I've tried googling other people with similar problems, and there's not as much grief about this as would be expected. While it's doing this "google assitant" bullshit, the phone is in practice useless. I need a dependable phone, and this one just ain't right now.
BTW, true story, when ever I've tried using my Google assistant to call people it's never managed to call the right person. It's called other people. But not the person I want it to call.
