Out of the blue google assistant stopped launching with a long press on the home button on my Axon. Anyone have any idea how I can get it back? I've already gone through the assistant settings, and turned it off and then on again and still nothing. It does work with ok google but it is inconvenient for me to have to talk to my phone whenever I need a reminder rather than just typing my inputs. I'm on android 7.1 and mifavor ui 4.2. Thanks.

@diegomderas can you please confirm the model # and build # of your Axon in the about phone section under the settings please.
Also have you cleared the cache of the device ? Turn the phone off > press and hold volume up and the power and then select clear cache > using the volume down button select the yes to confirm and the power button to clear it.
My model number is ztea2017u and my build number is a2017uv1.1.0b25.
I'll give that a try
Didn't work, any other ideas? It's super frustrating.
Does anything at all happen when you long press the home button?
No, nothing at all. It used to last week.
Are you enrolled in Google Beta ? Also are you using a 3rd party launcher?
I'm currently using the stock android theme for my axon. Sometimes I do use nova, or evie launcher but google assistant would launch before with no problems. I do use google beta as well.
Same here, saying google still works, just not the home button.
I asked about being on Google beta because its happened to be 2 times in the beta where I wasn't able to launch from home button either, they just updated the beta app a few days ago so I would suggest going into the play store and clicking uninstall once you have uninstalled the beta open the app and set the app back up and then re-download the beta app that worked for me when it happened so hopefully it helps. I was asking about the 3rd party launcher because some have gesture and input settings for settings shortcuts Im not to familiar with Evie launcher but I know Nova doesn't have a long press home key gesture I would just make sure that evie doesnt have one as well.
Just tried all that to no avail. Should I contact ZTE? I need to anyways because I'm having the camera shuddering problem that others are also having.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.. Thanks! Do you know if the camera problem is a definite hardware issue? I'd be surprised if they didn't send me a new unit because of it but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had that same problem.
I know I'm real late to the party but I just found out that anything past 479 dpi on screen size causes the Google Assistant long press to not work.
My apologies what I meant was under the Developer Options under the Drawing section there's a field called "Smallest width" I had that number at 500 and it made the screen display more information since it downsized everything what I didn't know is it affect assistant's ability to scan the whole screen for the "what's on my screen" feature so long press to get assistant stopped working but vocally it didn't. I discovered it last night retracing my steps as to why it stopped working.
Very nice find. I had mine set to 495 and Google Assistant wasn't working except for when saying "Ok or Hey Google" but I changed the setting to 475 and it's working again.
