Title: Silver Voice Assistant button stopped working as of today 21 June
Post by: Dixit on June 21, 2018, 09:34:23 am

Hello everybody,

Proud owner of a Gemini since last week.

As of today the silver button will not start up the Voice Assistant anymore. the same with the combination Fn+Space.

If I (re-)start the Gemini Voice Assistant app and press on its microphone button, then the Voice Assistant will work.
Even weirder: it will (sometimes) work with the button (again), but only one or two times.
Sometimes the blue LED is on - this is how it is supposed to be - but it stays on permanently, until I reboot the Gemini.

It looks like the latest firmware update trashed the Gemini Voice Assistant app...

Any solutions to this ?

Thanks, Eeeems.

There are 3 solutions mentioned. but the only solution properly explained is replacing Google Assistant by Sayi.
Indeed, that kind of works, but

- Sayi already crashed in a similar way (be it less often)
- Sayi is less advanced and not available in Dutch.

So it would be nice if this is fixed again. It is particularly 'interesting' that this once worked, but now stopped functioning.
Let's hope that that won't be the case for other parts of the software...
