Also available in Turkiye. "Which song is this?" command is not working as far as I tried. I loved that feature in Bixby.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Tefzors:
Now that this is out, anyone think that removing bixby through adb won't break things?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Kleerkastje:
Finally ! it does feel a bit slower than on the phone to recognize the voice inputs tho, anyone else experiencing this ?

Nice! Will Your trick work with other languages? I'm from Poland.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] avdieev:
Yes)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] svprm:
Its working in India too.

Initially I searched for Assitant in the Watch Play Store and I'm unable to find it. Sometimes later it was installed automatically in my Watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Kapsztajn:
How did you do that? :) Im getting an error that it is not available on my language,
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] krogoth:
Stop teasing and share Your method ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] avdieev:
Install google assistant to watch (via BugJaeger) and launch it. On phone select 2 assistant languages English and your country language. 1. English 2. Polska.

If you not understand - I record video
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
HOORAY! Google Assistant automatically appeared under apps in Galaxy Wearable and as an icon on the watch today. I followed the prompts between the phone and watch to install. I didn't download it from Google Play or Bugjaeger. I didn't run updates either (last update was May 5). Installed and tested successfully! I usually only use it to turn my bedroom lights/fan (plugged into a Wi-Fi powerbar); however, exploring other actions that the watch can open using the app (some apps also open on phone. There are some intermittent disconnects, stating watch is offline. The watch states not connected to a network, but it is connected to Wi-Fi. The command is actioned from the phone and not the watch. I go into Google Assistant under Galaxy Wearables to Force Stop, then select Open, it opens on the watch it is fine again, but after a few commands and it is completing the command on the phone.

Hey Google:

-Control light/fan plugged into a Wi-Fi powerbar

Google Assistant WORKED on Galaxy Watch 4, HOW TO START?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cyberon:
Do you use your phone in english, it's not showing for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cyberon:
Already did that and it didn't work, maybe it's also region locked. 😔

Edit: working now, had to remove my language, did the setup with English only, then added my language again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] avdieev:
Please Make screenshot on google assistant- languages
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GokberkTunc:
I need to sideload. If you get region error. Change your language to English and delete others. Both from (in order) main settings and google assistant settings.

Music recognize not working. Also reading message is not working. They working on phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Google Assistant just appeared on my usa watch4 LTE apps and did an update today! Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] avdieev:
My video :

apologize for the quality, I shot quickly to show you
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] iEstuardo:
Bookmarked, this helped me. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
I didn't need to download the app. It automatically appeared under Galaxy wearable on my phone and on my GW4 watch. I am in Canada, and it became available today.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
How did you do it? i can make mine work with the button, but when i say ok google /hey google it says :
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
It doesn't show Google Assistant as default app, only Bixby. I customized the top button for Google Assistant and also have it as hands free for commands. You will find Google Assistant settings under Google on the watch Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] motisu:
thanks for the info. I was wondering how to turn off the "hey Google" . I saw that having it on and listening all the time eats up a lot of battery. For me, it is enough that I mapped the button to respond.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
Did you happen to have the issue im having?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
No. I was able to set it up successfully at first attempt. I do, however, have intermittent disconnect issues and message states my watch is offline. Umm no, it is not! LOL! I have to go into GA in Galaxy Wearable and force stop, then select open for it to reopen on my watch. It will work again. But if I use GA on phone, it will only work on the phone until I again force close and reopen on watch. I am still testing exact parameters and sequence of issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cylgalad:
I want to get rid of this Big Brother crap. Now it's impossible or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pabgar:
This is ridiculous. Google Assistant working on my phone in polish language ( for years ). While trying to run on watch " your language is not supported"
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] binary**#:
For anyone still having issues, you need to set your primary language of the Google Assistant app on your device to English [or any of the other 11 supported languages]. As of now, it is also recommended that the primary language should be the only language in the Assistant. You could get hold of the screenshots of these steps from this page, if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
Just removed and installed the assitant only with english and still getting the same message when i say hey google. it works with the button but not with voice call. i get the same message i've posted earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
please collect your tinfoil hat from the gift shop as you leave

doing anything on any modern device comes with a loss of some privacy, depending on how you use it (most people misuse them, vomiting all they do out on the web)

if you dont like it, dont install it - its optional...simples
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pabgar:
Do not forget that he should also unplug Internet connector :D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
there was ROM for my old Pixel 2XL, made by a tinfoil hat type, whose pages listed ways to "avoid big brother", including advice to:

- wear baseball caps everywhere to avoid cameras

and my personal favourite ive ever heard from these tinfoilists:

- when not in use, keep your mobile in a faraday bag

*sigh*

found it:

Post Install - DivestOS Mobile

divestos.org
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cylgalad:
I don't need a KGB spy that makes people dumber. I don't even see the point of using these useless gadgets. I don't have it on my phone, I don't see why I should have it on my watch that has less storage and less battery.

This is not optional AT ALL, this is pushed through a playstore "update" (which means it was already there in the "firmware"), so I'll have to bother updating other things manually just to prevent this gaga to install. I want a permanent solution, why is it not possible to "hide" apps like on Android?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
So you dont intend to use it....

So why are you here?

Also as already pointed out its optional, people are actively using workarounds to just try and get it, thats how "pervasive it is"

*sigh*

If you just want to have a tinfoil hat whine, please do it elsewhere, we're not interested in diatribes...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] OnnoJ:
You can disable the Assistant App through Samsung Wear app on phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SkewedZeppelin:
Put the quote in context please, DivestOS is *not* for tinfoil hats, it is pretty insecure for such a threat model given that it aims to provide support for END OF LIFE devices.

Maybe you can keep reading the site and find actual benefit from it, because there are ZERO other projects providing the level of security I am to the Pixel 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
There are plenty of other options that dont talk about farady bags
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lil_kujo:
Working great, I can't believe they brought it to the watch4 after it was unknown if they would. It works extremely well even asking you where should she answer the questions either on the watch or phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
Cant seem to make it work, did a reset and now its worse , the message "still setting up "hey google" now comes in the middle of the answers when using the button.....:S
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] votemxlplx:
You can also launch GA with loose variants of Hey Google; I use hey boo boo. Easier to say, crowd pleaser.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Just to note, if you debloated your watch, including the com.google.assistant prior to GA coming out, you might need to rebloat since the update won't show up in app store. However, you can download GA like any other app. It's available on play store you just have to find it.

It'll appear as an update if you didn't
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
It JUST came out guys. Give them some time to iron out the kinks. It's working fine on mine. If it's not working well on non-English locales, give it time.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cylgalad:
Enough with your stupid tinfoil hat idiocy. If you can't stand that not everybody supports Big Brother, that's your problem, not mine.

It's NOT optional. Again, it's baked in the firmware and activated through a playstore update.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cylgalad:
Thanks, I never use the wear app, I don't know why it's not doable directly on the watch, and it's not exactly like "uninstalling" it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Optional, as pointed out, people are using workarounds to get the Assistant, and its toggleable even if you choose to install it

You're off on other tangents that no one cares about and are off topic in this thread

Stop the big brother nonsense, now, please, no one is interested
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Kleerkastje:
Anyone else have this issue with GA on the Watch 4:

My watch is connected to my phone. My phone is bluetooth hooked to my car and my watch. if i ask my watch to "Next song" in the car, the watch says it does not play anything or "i cant play anything on this device".

The same issue when i'm connected to a bluetooth speaker and try to next song with my watch.

Im running a bluetooth one 40 mm with spotify on the watch and on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] St.mcqueen:
I just got google assistant on my watch yesterday, but I Can't use it while I'm connected to my phone via Bluetooth. I have a galaxy watch 4 classic (the one without LTE); when I'm connected via Bluetooth It doesn't stay connected to WiFi and google assistant does not work. It starts working after turning Bluetooth off. I think It's because remote connection activates and WiFi is forcibly turned on and connected. I don't turn WiFi Off on my watch, It just says WiFi will get connected when needed, and it does not work most of the times. I've had this problem with other apps as well, especially with side-loaded apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
It is doable from watch. In watch settings, scroll down to you see the Google Icon (Where your Google account info is). Tap it. Instead of just your account there, Google Assistant Settings are available there too. New with GA update obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cavalloz:
My Assistant on watch keeps resetting after 30-60 minutes.

The installation goes well and everything seems to work as it should but after some time (usually 30-60 minutes) when I open the Assistant on watch it needs a new installation, like it was the first time.

I tried English (US) and Italian languages. On my phone (s21 ultra) Assistant works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Is your WiFi set to automatic? Even though your watch isnt LTE, you should still be able to use your phones data plan and network as long as it's connected to BT. Even on LTE versions, BT will override WiFi and LTE since it's the most battery efficient. If all else fails, turn off remote connection from within the Wear App on Phone. If its still doesn't work, try turning off WiFi. Also, make sure Mobile Battery Saver is turned on (Developer Options)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] towser1972:
Very disappointed with the GW4 with GA experience so far. First time I installed it it worked, then nothing... Hit the button, say a phrase, then get "go ahead I'm listening" prompt and nothing happens. I've reset the GW4 and done a fresh install of GA before anything else, but it's just not working for me. 😞

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] TheIntruder:
Works well here, little annoying my one routine doesn't work though..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
how do you set to automatic?

Edit: seems that is for LTE versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] motisu:
I have a watch 4 without LTE and under settings connectivity, you can turn WiFi on or off. AFAIK, there is no control for automatic, it is set on automatic on/off all the time. If there is a BT connection, the WiFi turns off automatically. It also turns on automatically if an app or the system requests it (for updates etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Maxrunner:
Exactly, this doesnt solve my problem. i think mine more complicated quite frankly, might have to do with the phone being a realme GT 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
This guy is right, my bad. It's mobile network that is automatic. HOWEVER, in Developer Options there's an option to "Turn off automatic wifi". Enabling that will make it so watch WiFi requires manual input because it's automatic by default since it'd eat through your battery if left on all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] omid_nr:
i installed ( updated) assistant on my watch but when i try to activate it and i hit Open on phone to activate my phones open a link on Chrome that says Invalid Dynamic Link and i cant connect and i dont know how to manually do in it my phone google assistant anyone can help ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Try using a different browser. Change your default browser to Firefox or DuckDuckGo. Also, reset your app defaults where you select where you want to open the app. In Google Assistant info page, just look for defaults and reset them or change to open in app. The link shouldn't open in Chrome, it's a GA link that launches in directly in GA app. So your default setting under GA or Chrome is messing you up. I'd reset both GA and Chrome Defaults. Maybe Google too just in case. Next time you try to launch it should prompt you which app to open with.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] omid_nr:
nice idea i did it but it only ask me to open in in a list of my browsers and i can choose any other and the this is the link : https://goo.gl/app/search/?link=https://assistant.google.com&apn=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&amv=301193933&al=googleapp://deeplink?data=CkwBDb3mGzBFAiBEjfXF_UP3ceBC2e8ZPEsbulAlJHkQLvh-OThexVX_0gIhAPC88za04aryx3BV-4UMwrK2YEDCFMG24w3mBXha8rekEm8KBgjR5s2PARIICOgFEgNvcGEaNRIzCAkSL_rxnKMJKQgBIh9jb20uZ29vZ2xlLmFuZHJvaWQud2VhcmFibGUuYXBwKAFAAVABIiQKImh0dHA6Ly9hc3Npc3RhbnQuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS9kZXZpY2U&assistant_device_id=DC%3ACC%3AE6%3A38%3A88%3A15&node_id=1339b046&_nr=1 and there is 2 kind of assistant on my phone which i believe 1 is only for wear os i have both installed on watch and phone but it seems it cannot open the app directly when i open in in watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] IamST215:
Does asking any weather related question cause an error everytime for anybody else?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Weather questions have been working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] IamST215:
Weird, thanks for checking
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
On the watch: Settings - Google - Assistant. Slide to left
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SKAm69:
Can you please advise how to turn it off?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Under Watch Settings > Privacy > Customization Service
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Woah that's wild. Delete the extra assistant that you downloaded for your phone. The GA you downloaded off playstore is no different than the one that comes installed and is a system app. You only want the system app assistant and it can't be Uninstalled. So delete whatever GA can be Uninstalled and try again.

The reason you have to link the GA on your watch and the GA on your phone is because they're technically separate apps. The GA on the play store is the wrong app. It's super confusing I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
So I just noticed that the Wear OS App will now let you actively pair GW4 to it. Has anyone tried pairing GW4 to Wear OS app? I'm curious If both Samsung Wear and Google Wear OS can be paired to watch without having to reset watch.. I'm nervous that It'll reset lol. Somebody braver than Me should try. I've already reset it more times than I care to count doing these kinds of tests.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] omid_nr:
i tired that but no diffrence the thing is goo.gl links are used to open apps directly from the link so either i need to modify the link to the correct one or somehow force this to open in the google play store or just give this up and find a way to link watch and phone without any link within the assistant itself
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Can confirm linking to Wear OS worked. I was able to avoid a watch reset. My watch unpaired itself from the Samsung App so I had nothing to lose. I ran the ADB command that removes the GMS and it ended up pairing to my phone without reset.

The Wear OS by google app, not Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SKAm69:
Wow, I don't have it there. Only permission manager
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Same here on my Galaxy Watch 4 LTE...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
That's weird guys. I have it there lol. Odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] unubtanium:
Same here too, missing
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
yeh, I think bingblop has a lemon model😁 LoL
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Haha or the only good model, :P Not sure why I have it and you guys don't. The only thing customization service covers on watch is World Clock. Do you guys have customization service listed at all under apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
Works but far less than ideal.

Not only did this cause severe battery drain on the watch, it also caused the samsung app an insane amount of battery drain on my phone, 15% in just 3-4 hours.

Slow to respond, seem to need to yell at it for it to pick up catch phrase, then every device in the house tries to repsond after a couple of trys. Since I do not have the LTE model watch any more, there is no point having this on my watch, since my phone has to be right there and operational, google phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
I recommend turning off Hey Google and using it with physical button hold. Of your available options, it's your best. I turned my hey Google off and that helped.

The problem will always be poor battery usage with this model. If I can get from morning til night with a full charge then I consider it a win. Only way your getting more than 12 hours out of it is by not touching it or using any special features... What's the point of "Smart" at that point?

TURN LOCATION OFF AND NFC OFF WHEN NOT USING!! Also, unless you use the wrist gestures turn them all off. Get rid of all the apps that sounded cool but you don't actually use. Seriously, if you don't use it at least once a day then lose it. If you can't recall the last time you checked your health stats, turn off all automatic monitoring, especially stress and heart rate. Limit all notifications to essential only. Everytime your watch screen turns on from a notification, battery wasted, especially if you have a battery intensive watch face. Good rule of thumb is to shut off all notifications that aren't communication related. If you want phone like usage from your watch, go back to the Tizen powered Gear3 or wait for the next model coming out later this year with the key focus being on uptime.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
Thanks for the heads up. I already have my watch optimised, and get 2 days life from it

Battery on the phone was more of the issue for me, about 8 times the battery usage on the samsung app, 15-25% of total drain in any given 12 hours, remove google assistant and all good again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
Man, I stop watching the forum for several weeks and then discover THIS!!! I am one of the many who already had a hacked side-loaded Google Assistant Go installed. So I feared it wouldn't work. Went into the play store on watch, found it, installed it and it walked me through the rest on the phone (to which I said NO to the "ok google thing". Then I just had to go in and set the assistant to the NEW "assistant" instead of the old "go" one. And I went in to the customize buttons to have the double-press home = the new assistant ('cause it was still launching the old "go" one). Hot damn, it works!

IMPRESSED! Of course, now I will have to play with it for a few days to make sure it works right, but my last several uses have been fine. Seems to launch and respond quickly and accurately. And, unlike "go", it uses the whole screen and SHOWS useful info right there. HAPPY!!!!

I just wish there was a way to temporarily halt the speaking of what is on the screen when I want to just read it and not hear it (or annoy those around me). Like tapping a button or touching the screen. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible. I don't want to turn it off completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
My first was the frontier, then the 3, then the 4. FIRST thing I do is turn off flip your wrist to wake up, rotate the bezel or tap to wake. Also, wifi/NFC off unless I use it. In a 24 hour day, mine is on 16 hours a day. I wear it at night. (I'm on a CPAP because my frontier had my HR jumping into the 90's in the middle of the night, sleep study...sleep apnea. Now it stays in the 50's).

With the removing of apps, and all the other things I did, I get 3-4 days out of the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Great to hear. One thing I learned is that all the apps that people side load and literally never use all contribute to poor battery life. Especially sideloaded apps due to their tendency to drain power in the background since they were designed for devices that always keep the app in memory even after you close it.

Lastly, close all your apps frequently! If you tap on recent apps (I have it set to my double button press), it'll show you all the apps presently running in the background. If you scroll all the way to the left, you'll see the option to close all. Do that after you've used several apps or at least at the end of the day. If you're experiencing high battery drain or poor performance, this is the first thing that should be done. After you open an app, it'll remain in the background until you do this or power cycle (not sure if power cycling will even close apps running in memory or cached memory). It's a poor design and should offer an option to close apps immediately upon exiting, but they don't to keep that spyware rolling. On that note, I recommend using ADB to DISABLE (NOT UNINSTALL which I highly recommend against.. uninstalling watch faces with ADB is ok!) customization service and continuity service. They offer nothing of value aside from some Samsung internet syncing that further increases battery drain. I doubt most people use Samsung internet in their phone anyways. It checks location frequently too like most Samsung bloat ware... You'd be amazed. Once I disabled all that bloatware on my watch AND phone, my battery life practically doubled for both.
