Google Assistant tries to pull the "song name" out of anywhere instead of just identifying it by sound - eviltoast

At least I can use Shazam

    On pixel 2 and 3 this shit was amazing. I never had an issue with Google Assistant absolutely perfect assistant app. Then I got a samsung fold and, despite allegedly being the same app, it sucks all the donkey dick and balls. It’s clearly not the same Assistant, and if it IS then google fucking ruined it.

    It struggles recognizing the switch from wifi to data. Getting in my car and giving it commands to play music takes forever because it hangs up with the (now distant and poor) wifi

    Commands to call people when I’m outside (walking dog, garden etc) suck for the same reason.

    Voice to text is trash. It’s always getting words wrong, mishearing requests, or putting words that I didn’t fucking say. Half of my sentences start with “is” for some reason. “Is I need you to get dog food” like bruhhhh

    I thought it was just because Google was punishing samsung users to push Pixels. This thread makes me feel vindicated. I wasnt wrong or mis-remembering with rose tinted glasses. It really is hot garbage lol
