Meanwhile, I still can't use Gemini as my Android Auto assistant.
- fg137 6mo agoThis. Android feels like more of a liability than an asset to Google these days.
- VectorLock 6mo agoCan you use it as your CarPlay assistant?
- BakeInBeens 6mo agoIt is widely rolled out now and not just in the US.
- mavamaarten 6mo agoWell good for you, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't use it. Everything is a mishmash of the old Assistant and Gemini. Sometimes even my Google Home answers in the old Assistant voice (you know... "Sorry, I don't understand"
- phamilton 6mo agoI just got it last week. Still a few quirks, but positive so far.
- 3vidence 6mo agoIt seems to forget about what I do and don't have access to (in terms of apps). I've had to remind it that I have Spotify and YT music more than once. Other than that agreed going okay so far.
- gonzalohm 6mo agoDo you have an option to not use it? Google forcefully updated my TV and the normal assistant is gone now
- neya 6mo agoFirst thing I do after I purchase any smart TV - turn off network access, disable auto-updates (mine is a Sony). So, this way 1) it can collect whatever it wants but it can't phone back home and 2) I don't wake up one day and find myself on a learning curve I didn't sign up for (happened to me once, they completely re-did the UI, for worse!)
- gonzalohm 6mo agoHow do you watch anything without network access?
- abosherid 6mo agoRoku
- neya 6mo agoI use Apple TV and give it network access instead, this way the TV doesn't have the chance to update. My Apple TV is set to update manually too. Of course, the assumption here is Apple TV doesn't phone home - and I'm no Apple fanboy, but I think this is as close as we get to online streaming with privacy.
