Can't Get Hey Google Working Galaxy Tab S9 FE+

Dreamspinner3 — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:29:54 GMT

Hey Google is not working on my tab S9FE Plus. I've gone through all the troubleshooting tips that I can find trying to get it to work, but I haven't had any luck.

I've made sure Google is the default AI assistant on my tablet, retrained it to recognize my voice multiple times, made sure the Google app has permission to use the microphone, tried clearing the cache and storage on the app multiple times, I made sure that the app cannot be put to sleep, and turned my tablet on and off multiple times. All apps are updated, as is the tablet software itself.

Does anyone else have suggestions as to what the cause of the problem could be?

I have a S25 edge and it's doing the same thing. Hey Google not working. But bixby does work. I did the same as you and checked all my settings, retraining my voice but Hey Google not working. Please help

My S24 wasn't working either, but I managed to get it working again by following the instructions in the video below. Sadly, it didn't work for my tablet: https://youtu.be/zTwWbbLgpjk?si=NQHtO_V2-fiOdO9w

I think Gemini is thee new assistant. You can verbally send or type to her in the Gemini app. Not sure though if I'm correct.
