Stopped working over Bluetooth in my car. That was the only thing I needed it for... Replying to the comment from Support: this is not a bug, it was an intentional change that was announced in a push notification. Assistant uses the microphone of Bluetooth devices by default now. It so happens that this does not work with my car. And there's no way to force using the phone's microphone.

Very often it doesn't react to "hey google" with the screen off. I have to then manually turn on the screen or unlock the phone for it to react. Also very often it will stop working and always respond with "Something went wrong, please try again". It will not work until I manually force stop the Google app. So overall the reliability of this app is very bad (which has been my experience for the past couple of months), but sometimes when it does work, it is useful. Hence the 2 stars.

When it WORKS, it's helpful and great. I had deleted the Gemini app, and it wouldn't respond to "Hey Google" anymore. When I downloaded it again, it worked like a charm. But now, suddenly and without me knowing wth happened, it won't respond again. Every few months, something happens when it becomes unresponsive. It's very aggravating. FIX THIS.
