[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
The phone is unlocked and smart lock it's ok.

Sometimes google voice assistant starts(is waiting for voice order). But nothing happens.

Other times the watch shows error and does nothing. And more often, no error in watch, screen on in mobile, but google assistant doesn't appear :(
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
When you see ERROR on the watch, it means the Android Provider app has either crashed or been put to sleep by the system. The only crashes I can see from today are for the old version (2.2.6), are you sure you're on 2.2.7?

When Google Assistant starts it means the Android Provider has received a message from the watch. The next step involves the TouchTask plugin, which needs the right permissions for storage and accessibility. It sounds like TouchTask isn't launching in your phone properly.

When the screen turns on the unlocker swipes bottom to top to unlock; does this match your unlock swipe? Sometimes Google Assistant won't load because the previous attempt is still running. You can use the resend action (back out of Svoice) to retry.

Double check your TouchTask install, and it's worth installing the Google Assistant app from the Play, it seems to help.
[Samsung Gear S3] domtra:
Downloaded the newest versions of provider and plugins on play store... Still not working on galaxy watch and Samsung s9 +

All permissions granted as pr instructions.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
I've got an idea that it's to do with Svoice/Bixby on the Galaxy Watch (Tizen 4), just discussing it with Samsung now. If it's what I think it'll mean an update to the watch app with a different binary for the Galaxy watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] Gary Brett:
While you have their attention, could you ask them to remove Bixby completely and put her in the bin :rolleyes:
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
I reinstalled all, including google assistant, the same results (google appear some times , but without any results)

All permissions are ok. Accesibility is enabled too for touchtask.

My version is 2.3.7

i'm going crazy :confused:
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
Bixby's not going anywhere unfortunately, it's too tied in with their long-term IoT plan. A big focus of Samsung's has always been security (to the point of making their devices unusable at times), and voice data is part of that.

What you have on your watch isn't Bixby though. It's an upgraded Svoice, with a sightly different version name. If you can install Svoice from the store (doubtful) it may fix it. I've tried my best with Svoice, but I can't get the lag time down enough to make me happy at all. While I wait for Samsung to confirm my suspicions I'll get back to work moving the speech recogniser to the phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] Gary Brett:
Yes, its not great at all. How can they really have had users testing that and approving for general release, it really is shocking at what it cannot do compared to Google or even Alexa, they must know that.

Is it making your job almost unworkable then to have questions and answered on the actual Watch?
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
So when Google appears, it never switches to keyboard input? Do you have your soft keys set to autohide? That would interfere with the accessibility surface. Try setting the top four options in the TouchTask settings to true, and disabling battery optimisations for Tt and Samsung Accessories. If that doesn't get it I'll have to look into compiling a test app for you to give me more information.
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
Ops, this could be the problem, i have no navigation bar, i¡m using gestures app:p
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
No, that part's down to Google :S

Interacting with the assistant via the accessibility surface is unnecessarily difficult, but that's part of how they protect their IP I suppose. Fortunately I've found a way to interact with Google Assistant in the cloud, and hopefully without needing to pay per query... Once that's done there'll be no problem getting the results back to the watch.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Hah, I was about to ask if you had other accessibility services enabled. It's usually OK as long as they're lower in the list, but some can be pretty aggressive :)
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
Any word on non Samsung devices? I'd love to test it for you
[Samsung Gear S3] mistarfox:
QUestion

Also, do I have to download the Wingman assistan (provider) or the plugin version on the playstore?

[MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
all of them
[Samsung Gear S3] mates22:
Has tried the app someone who has tasker installed? Because every time I install the Wingman Assistant (Plug-ins), both tasker and wingman assistant plugin crash and error message pops up and after few seconds the same message again and again... like infinity loop. Does anyone have the same problem?
[Samsung Gear S3] yuzaman:
hello

i have galaxy s9+ and gear s3

from playstore i install wingman assistant (provvider) and wingman assistant plug-ins, then from samsung galaxy app i install wingman assistant (consumer)

when i start this wingaman assistant (consumer) in my gear appear write in big green letter ONLINE

that all..
[Samsung Gear S3] GameworldCEO:
I can't find the app when I press the link it just beings me to the store.

Region: Northeast US
[Samsung Gear S3] chuikali:
Can't find the App in the Australian store either - using the galaxy watch...
[Samsung Gear S3] Nigelee77:
Any progress. I would love to be a beta tester for this app. It's just what I'm looking for
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
Touch in the down part of the screen watch to activate the voice.
[Samsung Gear S3] decievedthought:
Still not available for the sport model.....
[Samsung Gear S3] ultrazak:
SGW + S9+ not working yet.

On the smartphone, when you click on Wingman Plugin, a google assistant opens. When you open the application on the clock, or appears Online, and then error. Or the gray screen without inscriptions is lit.

Everywhere firmware and software updated
[Samsung Gear S3] brandonbarlow:
I have the gear S3 and a pixel 2xl. I have downloaded the apps on the phone, but the Galaxy phone link won't work for me.

Brings up a link to the galaxy store, but can't find it. Thoughts?

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
Smart here. Right now, only Samsung phones are supported. Dev said he would work on other phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] Devereuxmf:
Just wondering if someone could make this app work, Im on a Galaxy Watch, tried everthing and nothing...
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
Could i say one thing? Since only the app on playstore has to be paid, why don't you share here the file which should be available on galaxy store?

Till now i think that users who are trying this app can be counted on one hand's fingers.

Barely anyone can see the app on galaxy store and some days passed..
[Samsung Gear S3] decievedthought:
Can I second that [MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION] can you share the galaxy watch file here as we are quite able to sideload it
[Samsung Gear S3] meo:
Error on Samusng Edge

Does it run on Samsung S7 Edge ?

I think Porvider is running ?

Plugin doesn't start ?

How can i check this ?

On the watch at first "ONLINE" then when i touch under ONLINE i get "ERROR"

Samsung Watch LTE

Plugin: 132.122

Provider: 2.3.7

On the Watch: 1.0.0
[Samsung Gear S3] Devereuxmf:
Same as Meo
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
i can finally see the app on galaxy store.

i have a gear sport and i'm italian. just as info

i'll let you know if it works for me.

p.s. app on galaxy store needs to be paid, that's why tincan didn't put here files probably

edit: it doesn't work. anything happen when i say something.. [MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION]

google assistant opens, but any command is pasted in it.
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
I'm having the same issue. Voice commands aren't going thru to Google
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
ok, so we have to only wait for tincansoftware answer.

probably is not a big bug to fix. at least, i hope so XD
[Samsung Gear S3] antoine64320:
Now available on Gear Sport ! (France)
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
Yeah, but it doesn't work xD
[Samsung Gear S3] antoine64320:
Ok, I'll wait for a positive feedback before buying it xD
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
yeah, is better waiting. till now, i don't if anyone here got it working. i hope of not having wasted my money
[Samsung Gear S3] halloarno:
Yes, sports wear and non-galaxy phone: available in store!

Strange, my first attempt worked fine. "ok Google, start Spotify" and Spotify was launched. Now, the same error as above: Google assistent starts on phone and starts listening to mic on phone, but no command from watch is coming through.
[Samsung Gear S3] decievedthought:
Gear sport and s8+ just says error after trying to send command
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
[MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION]

Any news?
[Samsung Gear S3] bowlsy:
I couldn't get it to work ever. Never a good sign the developer website has been down for days.
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
which site do you mean?
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
tincansoftware.com. It's been down for a while
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
I hope he is only busy and that's why he is not answering here.

In the meantime i have uninstalled all apps. They are useless so
[Samsung Gear S3] mclaudio:
hello can you launch a trial version?
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
Dead app, maybe dead developer? xD
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
I hope that he is really busy. Already paid for the app
[Samsung Gear S3] mrmrmrmr:
hi everyone,

can anybody tell me what is the current situation with this app ?

is there a blocking issue ?
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
it simply does nothing.

when i press on the watch to give command, it seems to work because this command goes to phone and google assistant wakes up, but then any command is pasted in it. so it simply does nothing.

it is a pity, because i have the feeling that it could be solved this problem, but dev isn't answering anymore, so i don't know what to think
[Samsung Gear S3] mrmrmrmr:
I want to understand if the dev is being prevented by Google policies or something commercial. Because if it is just that the dev is abandoned because of personal reasons or technical issues, I could take over and continue. But if there is a blocking commercial/policy issue then it is useless to try.

I wish the dev could explain the situation even if he's abandoned.
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
Whatever it is, it could (well.. i'm tempted to say he must) say something about this situation.

Problems in these things can happens, but at least give some informations would be the right behaviour.

We have paid for app on galaxy store and on playstore, and till now is a money waste.
[Samsung Gear S3] halloarno:
Probably he is having some life-event. Don't summon someone what to do or judge until you know. Life-events can take over your whole life.

I would rather say the dev is almost close to succes. Google assistent starts, just the message is not coming through. Though I don't like the use of svoice, it just won't work smooth.
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
I disagree. Write a simple message here takes 30 seconds.

Since we pay for this app it would be the minimum.
[Samsung Gear S3] mrmrmrmr:
since there's a dev already working on this subject; I will not interfere. But if we don't see the dev for a while (1-2 weeks maybe), and if I can complete the Alexa project by then, I may work on this subject.
[Samsung Gear S3] Devereuxmf:
Yes pls! I think we were scammed with this dev...
[Samsung Gear S3] levistep:
As excited as I originally was for this app I am no longer holding my breath. The reason this app will fall short is because it'll require consistent updates to work with each new version of Android OS and whatever updates Samsung itself pushes onto its products.

I remember first learning this truism when I bought a TI-89 graphing calculator while all my friends had TI-83+. The TI-83+ was inferior in all regards accept network effects. Everyone used it so there was so much support for it, bugs were fixed, apps were created, etc.

We are looking for a miracle from one guy and his ability to continually work miracles to keep this product working for different phones.

We can't have it all. There will be no way to properly implement Google assistant on a Samsung watch until Samsung gets on board with it.
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
I don't think is exactly so. He almost managed to get it working.

As i said it enables g-assistant, but then fails to copy the command in it.

I'm not angry with the dev, because it has been present enough in past days and it seemed very intentioned to make it work correctly. I just say that 2 words about whatever has happened would have been appreciated. I hope he is fine and he has any problem in real life.

Otherwise, if he had simply joked us, i hope he is not fine xD
[Samsung Gear S3] mrmrmrmr:
I can just say that people do not learn how to be satisfied with what is supplied. I developed an Alexa app for Samsung watch and I believe it is in a good condition as a starter. But people are even looking for more when the app is not fully released yet.

This kind of approach makes developers demotivated.
[Samsung Gear S3] erghetto:
I think most devs are too sensible xD

Many stop to develope when they are criticized, but this imho is disrespectful for people who instead support dev's work.

You devs has to simply ignore idiots who come on xda just to say useless things.

Think to your work and to all people who really make use of what you create and to everyone who makes constructive suggestions.
[Samsung Gear S3] Ole4isu:
OMG. Is this live? Take my money! Getting a galaxy watch and NEED the home controls integrated with the Google assistant/ home...
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
Based on the lack of response from the device, I think this project is dead. Shame, because I vpaid for the app....
[Samsung Gear S3] r4yv3n:
Paid for the app too ,and developer dissapeared....
[Samsung Gear S3] bogus83:
What a bummer. Looks like I'll be getting something like a Fossil Sport (Snapdragon 3100) and just sticking with Samsung Pay on my phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] BiddyBowls:
Don't get how to set google as default, when I tap wingman on phone it loads Bixby. On watch says online tap and error appears, really hope this is fixed as lots of ppl have paid
[Samsung Gear S3] sgtslaughter64:
I sent an email to the devs email address from the play store...got a delivery failure. I'm guessing that the dev is gone. Don't purchase
[Samsung Gear S3] LenAsh:
Suggest you report the "app" within Google Play to alert them to the lack of support. I'm sure they will investigate.

In the meantime, this thread will be closed. Should the OP or the other member involved want to re-open it, we can review.
[Samsung Gear S3] vicvon:
I would buy it in a heartbeat. If you are in need of beta testers for the gear s3 I would gladly help.
[Samsung Gear S3] Blakestr:
Best of luck to you and your team - when I was researching the Gear s3, I heard nothing but bad things about s voice.

Please keep me posted on your release
[Samsung Gear S3] mobilejray:
This is fantastic! I would buy it right away!!!
[Samsung Gear S3] Rebel2k:
This is wonderful news! I hope we can test that soon and for me too, if you need any beta tester, I'm in.
[Samsung Gear S3] oralph:
This is great news as I have been struggling with S Voice. When do you expect it to be available for testing/download?

Next project to enable Amazon Alexa?
[Samsung Gear S3] goodwin_c:
Any news? Any approximate estimation for release/pre-release? Any plans for early testing with closed group of ppl? Please, silence is killing :)
[Samsung Gear S3] Tek420:
Please just let me know where to go and get this so I can give you money!!!

At least some kind of an update on approximately when and how much would be VERY much appreciated. You can't just drop that geek bomb like you did and leave us all drooling!

Thanks and looking forward to this!

Dave
[Samsung Gear S3] xenuprime:
I just bought an S3 last weekend and I have been thinking about returning it due to the limited apps, but having access to assistant could certainly sway me a little towards keeping it. Thank you for working on this. Oh yeah, I would also pay for an app like this.

Would it have voice response as well? And would it have the same functions as on a Wear OS device?
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
I'm afraid it's still using Svoice on the gear as its STT/TTS engine; if you're having difficulty being correctly recognized this version won't help much. I estimate it should be available in the Gear and Play stores within a fortnight all going well, possibly up to a month depending on how the submission review process goes.

Alexa integration is actually a lot easier than GA, and is on the cards for a near-future feature.

I know the feeling: I bought my S3 around six weeks ago thinking there was no way it would be lacking GA or even Bixby support; I was even more disappointed when I hit the Gear Store and saw very little available there. I briefly considered returning mine as well, but there really isn't any better smartwatch from a hardware and overall construction PoV. Unfortunately this is par for the course from Samsung - they make the best hardware, which is often limited by the available software.

It won't have the same functions as assistant on an AW2 device; the AW2 assistant is native, and it provides integrated low-level supports for interacting with the watch apps. That being said, there are ways to "Gearify" certain elements of the AW2 ecosystem to allow the Gear to interact with GA more like AW2 does. After I complete this GA project I'll be focusing on a few apps I've designed to bring the Gear closer in line with how AW2 works, and I've had positive results exploring how to write a service enabling use of AW2 apps with the Gear...

The app has TTS for the chat responses right now (ie, "Here's what I found", "OK, turning off four lights.", etc.). In the near future we plan on continuing the TTS output with the query result body (ie, "Penguin: Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds. https://google.com.au/search?q=penguin"). We'll also be implementing support for the SuggestionChips to better easier conversational flow.

I've answered the "when" above (around the start of July), and the "how much" hasn't been nailed down yet. There are 3 apps which need to be purchased, so it'll be at least $3 for the system. Once we have a store-worthy app in place I'll tally my costs for each element and price them accordingly, so as to recover my costs thus far and finance coding of the remaining planned features.

Lol, sorry bro. I hate it when devs drop and ghost, so apologies for the uncouth behavior. That said, I won't be on xda much until the app's sorted out anyway; my time right now is better spent coding I think ;)
[Samsung Gear S3] demandarin:
Looking forward to the release!
[Samsung Gear S3] armada786:
Thanks for the update. The worst part of the Gear S3 is the weakness and lack of reliability of SVoice. As long as I can more reliably set my reminders and even use the smart home features of Google Assistant that would be a welcome addition to have. I love the hardware of the Gear S3 and this would make it much more useable, short of an Wear OS port.
[Samsung Gear S3] hawkjm73:
That was a refreshingly comprehensive development plan layout. Thanks!

From what I understand, you're currently using the watch's native voice recognition to gather words to send to Google Assistant. Does this mean the wake up phrase will work with your app?

I would enjoy having a PoC version to play around with. I'd even pay a bit to show developer support.
[Samsung Gear S3] xenuprime:
Thanks for the detailed update

Completely agree on the Samsung hardware. To me, the perfect watch would be the S3 with tizen and access to the play store. If I do return it, I will be picking up a ticwatch e or a misfit vapor. They are fairly cheap and would hold me over until the next gen watches show up.
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
Sort of, but that's lower on the priority list; the app will open "listening", so it could be invoked by asking Svoice to open the app. To wake into the app requires writing a service for the watch, and I'm not sure Samsung allows a service to keep the mic open for security reasons - we'll definitely be looking into it though!

I completely agree - the problem of course is the incompatibility of Wear OS and Tizen apps. This incompatibility goes all the way down to the hardware level (eg, the bezel), and I understand is one of the stumbling blocks in making a Gear port of Wear OS.

I do have some rough plans for a system which may allow you to run Wear OS apps in a virtual container and interface with them using the Gear - obviously even if this project works out not all apps will necessarily be compatible. That project is taking a backseat to a similar one anyway which focuses on interfacing with Wear OS companion apps, and another aiming to provide rich standardized communication between the watch and phone (ie, sending information/notifications to the watch and processing it).
[Samsung Gear S3] xenuprime:
That's interesting. I thought Wear OS had rotational input available for the rotating crowns (like on the LG Style). It seems like that would be the same as rotating a bezel?
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
It's more about the implementation. Rotary input isn't standard across Wear OS devices, and rather than being a true "keyed" input it can only be used with a displayed and focused scroll view. As I understand it there's a few differences like this; e.g., I believe the Wear rotary input also "rotates" with the device orientation. Don't really know though, I haven't spent any time working with Wear OS 2.0 yet. If we're allowed to intercept the signal from the rotary device and use it for things other than a scroll view (ie, remap it) there shouldn't be any reason rotary ~= bezel with a little work.

Thank you for working on this direly-needed feature of the Gear S3. I was wondering if there is any update on progress?
[Samsung Gear S3] tincansoftware:
Will be soon, coming back from holidays tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, it'll be up asap once I return.
[Samsung Gear S3] jd_ashurst:
Awesome! And thanks for keeping us updated. I highly anticipate this release. This is my single most wanted feature on the S3
[Samsung Gear S3] bogus83:
And mine on the S4/Galaxy Watch. All I want is a device that has both Google Assistant and Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
I totally agree! thanks for the work on this project [MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION]!
[Samsung Gear S3] Tek420:
WAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOO!!! I did my darnedest to ignore this thread/app since my last post and looks like it may be out SOON!! SWEET!! [MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION] thanks a million for the update and it does not matter to me how much honestly so please keep coding and I can't wait to give you my money!!

Joined XDA just to voice support!

Hi [MENTION=9224011]tincansoftware[/MENTION]!

Joined xda today just to voice my support for your project! Bought my gear S3 today and the saddest thing about my jump from my LG Urbane was loosing the assistant :(.

I will support you anyway i can: post release product purchase or a "support" or "fund the dev" type page.

Let me know how to support, and best of luck on bringing this to market!
[Samsung Gear S3] jay1661:
Wow!!!

This is great news!!! I searched Google once more with no hope on finding this awesome news! I'm very excited and looking forward the release.

If you need any help in testing or in translating texts to spanish, just tell me.
