Yes you’re right. I’ve check every setting and skill together with my old Nothing Phone 1 and it’s the same but vocal activation works on old one.

It serms that Nothing Phone 2a simply just does not support ok Google. Very bad decision on a stock Google phone🤬.

I’ll consider to change device.

    hello guys. I have the same problem. The support tell me, i should make a video, where i show how the google assistant dosen´t run. I switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to this device. What is your Status?

    you must report the problem to support via the phone settings; it is important that they become aware of it.

    This is not easy ’cause nothing happens when you say ‘ehy google’. So in bug report there are no errors at all😅

    They must try by itself with a Np2a to see the problem

    I’ve just sent a bug log to support, but I think there s nothing to see, in logs cause voice is not recognized at all.

    At the Moment the only way to activate assistant is by long pressing power button.

    ZenQ8 are you sure your 2a reacts on Hey Google???

    i guess you would be the only one where it works…..

        Received the 2a today and stumbled on the same issue as some other here. I guess i will refund my 2a and buy another Phone because Google Assistant is a crucial tool for my everyday life. And cant wait month till they maybe fix it. Even the cheapest Samsung etc. Phones have a google assistant and Nothing seriously tells us in a Sidenote that this i unavaiable on this Phone. Didnt see that note anywhere as i was looking for a new phone. Iam dissapointed and sad that i need to use my broken Poco longer.

          DerChemielaborant same thing for me. I’ve lost days sharing informations to Nothing support with no solution. I’m going back to nothing Phone 1 and ask refund to amazon for nothing phone 2a.

              Maurizio I f you retrain the voice match only in English (uk) that works …

              This is a known issue to nothing support.

              They told me that it will be fixed at the next update soon

                  Thank you for sharing this with us! It indeed works for me, awesome! (I also reached out to the support but didn’t hear about this.)

                  For those who can’t live with an english-only assitant, you can add your desired language as a secondary language afterwards but at least for me (German) it’s not working nearly as well as when it’s the primary language. 🤷

                  Anyway, this is enough for me until it’s fixed, thank you again Maximatose.
