Hey Google not beeping

Finsfan — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 01:51:49 GMT

When I say "Hey Google" a beep sound would alert me that it was listening. Now it doesn't. I searched YouTube found the video, after selecting accessibility the switch access is not an option. How do I turn on the Google beep? Fold 4 android version 13. If you need more info don't hesitate to ask!

I can't add screen shot. I have got the voice access in settings, it is off.

Yes. Plugged phone into my car and it beeped. Should I unistall google and see what happens when it get it loaded back on phone?

@Finsfan I was in this same situation years ago and eventually had it back to working, but I remember it taking days and don't remember specifically how I did it. I remember it being extremely frustrating. The backup and factory reset option would be your best bet at this point. It's not really a big deal to restore.

It's very possible this started happening after a Google or system update. Rolling back to a previous version of the Google app using an APK could solve the problem, so maybe you could try that before the reset.

Oh brother!! Not a whole reset! Well, I'll get a fresh backup and try it out, can't hurt.

Thanks again, I appreciate you for trying. If it works I will let you know.

Just fired up the phone after factory reset. Still no beep after I say Hey Google. It does still hear me. Guess I'll have to get a hold of Google. lol

@Finsfan Apologies, I thought I posted a link.

Any previous version other than the one you have now, preferably a somewhat recent one.

Re: Hey Google not beeping

Finsfan — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 21:49:37 GMT

No worries, checking it out now.

Re: Hey Google not beeping

Finsfan — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 22:30:47 GMT

OK, after factory reset, APK installed, turned voice access on and it works! Thank you so much @VerbumVeritum I appreciate all that you've done!

@Finsfan Great success! I'm happy you finally got this annoying problem fixed!

As an aside, installing an older version of the Google app via APK was the likely fix in this scenario. You shouldn't have needed to factory reset.
