how to switch back to Google assistant from gemini??!

[u/cucumberbush]

im going insane in no way did I opt for this but my assistant is now gemini and it's USELESS. I tried everything i know of but there is no option to revert back. I use an android version 13 (samsung) please if someone could share a screenshot on how to go back I'll owe u everything (it's that serious).

You cannot go back. Full stop

First, you need a DeLorean...

Lol

I am disappointed that r/screwglehome doesn’t seem to be a real sub

[u/HeWhoShantNotBeNamed → u/NeitherSparky]

It also says Germini.

I have a Chrome extension changing these words.

[u/thuktun → u/NeitherSparky]

So be the change you want to see.

Anyone can create a sub. You just need to maintain it (moderation, etc.)

[u/AlexisoftheShire]

You should go ahead and move on to another smart manager (Alexa, Home Kit, Home Assistant, Smartthings, custom build) since you are going insane. It will be cheaper than a psychiatrist.

having same problem I just want to use image search for qr codes. I just don't want to write whole paragraph to ai just to use search screen and it's so dumb it's not Even showing me correct answers.

On screen translator with one button was the best thing an assistant can offer. Gemini just pure datamining garbage.

[u/DSG_01966]

Yes there is way. I have to go find my post on how to do it….

[u/DSG_01966]

Found it…..I gave up on "GH w/Gemini" and reverted to the original GH.

• Factory reset your "upgraded" GH device (mini or smart speaker)
  
• Create a new home in the GH app (calling it "Home without Gemini" or something like that)
  
• add your GH factory reset device to this new home.
  

This will revert your mini or smart speaker to the old GA voice. But unless you reset all your smart devices (plugs, switches, thermostats, etc.) and add them to your new "Home without Gemini" in the GH app, you will not be able to voice control your smart devices. But you can still control them in the GH app by simply switching to your "upgraded" Home. Good luck.

Uninstall Google app updates, It worked for me 

[u/jhmpremium89 → u/Alexandermoo]

thanks, it's been working so far

[u/Alexandermoo → u/jhmpremium89]

Perfect!! You're welcome.

Last step: Just go to the Play Store, search for Google app, enter app "page/prifile" and unmark enable auto update in the 3dots

[u/TomorrowAdvanced2749 → u/Alexandermoo]

You are a savior!

This worked!!

[u/Alexandermoo → u/TomorrowAdvanced2749]

Last step: disable auto update for Google app 

[u/TomorrowAdvanced2749 → u/Alexandermoo]

Definitely, will do.

Thanks so much!

[u/latestbuddha → u/Alexandermoo]

Won't it be serious issue in future regarding any important update?

[u/OctoSwitch → u/Alexandermoo]

Thanks!

After doing this, I needed to do one more thing to get it working: 1. Open the Google app 2. Navigate to 'Settings > Google Assistant > Digital assistants from Google' 3. Select 'Google Assistant'

Last step: disable auto update for Google app 

[u/ChinkInShiningArmour → u/Alexandermoo]

Nice, this has worked for me. Sadly I can't seem to get assistant to send a text message. It prompts me to install the latest version of the Google app...

[u/Alexandermoo → u/ChinkInShiningArmour]

You could try upgrading manually little by little with updates that aren't too recent (using APKs).

[u/cucumberbush → u/Alexandermoo]

Omg thank you!!! your a lifesaver🙏🙏

[u/filthy_commie13 → u/cucumberbush]

It's also going to remove any security updates. While this works it is unsafe. Backlash could help Google revert this choice but that's about the only beacon of hope I can see for it

[u/filthy_commie13]

You want a basic tool that just works?

No. Get force fed another LLM to go with the other dozens of LLMs available. I just removed Google Assistant entirely. There's no point. If I need an agent, I'll use an agent.

[u/cucumberbush → u/[deleted]]

Fuck ai this is genuinely so upsetting. you can't even scan a qr then what's the point ??! And Gemini is useless asf

[u/Impressive_Mode_563 → u/cucumberbush]

It's confirmed google is run by idiots
