Google Assistent randomly activates itself

Tuerkay — Thu, 09 Nov 2017 18:37:51 GMT

Í´m experiencing some issues with the google assistent. It just randomly activates itself without me doing anything.

Without saying the keywords, the assistent opens and then listens to what i´m saying even without me noticing it.

This already happened before the 8.0 update and it still keeps going. Right now i´m always having the phone standing in front of me to make sure the assistant doesn´t do anything stupid.

I´m using the assistens frequently so i don´t want to deactivate it.

Anyone else has this problem?

@Tuerkay

I think your issue it's related to this

at first i thought the same since i´m having the touchscreen problems since i got this phone. But because the assistant also activates itself when the screen is off, there must be another reason

@Tuerkay

Test the phone in >>> safe mode and report back.
