I have cleared the cache and deleted it, and I have also updated the default settings along with retraining the voice, but the phone consistently reverts to deactivating "Hey Google." I want Gemini as the primary assistant, even within the vehicle. I was informed that updates are still being deployed to address the Google Assistant bug.

You should check to see if there is an update for Google Play System.

Everything's updated, but still no luck. I messed up when I switched from Gemini to Google Assistant, and it's been causing problems ever since.

When you say Hey, Google, what happens?

It just reverted again. I think my car reverts the settings every time I'm connected to Android Auto. When I connect the Gemini app in the car, it doesn't work right either.

In your initial question you left out when using Android Auto, Gemini in Android Auto hasn't fully rolled out to everyone yet.

It is reverting back to the old assistant even after migrating officially over last month from "google assistant" that was deprecated to what was Gemini up until I got into my vehicle today, a (2024 WRX) everything was working fine and normal up until today? I've tried all the trouble shooting steps, switching back and forth, clearing cache in multiple apps, and updating everything in google play. It seems to be a server side client handshake authentication error that cannot be fixed simply from the hardware end/user end of the problem. Google maybe debugging Gemini within AA but they should notify people when they do they massive regression as sometimes you are driving when you realize it and it's very jarring and potentially illegal to interact in some states with the head unit or the phone without using voice commands (that do not work with the "old assistant")

You need to contact Google with these issues.

Also, what are you trying to do when you summon the assistant?

My bad, I had it before, so I was confused.
