Weird. On mine it says "The Google Assistant is not available now. Check your Assistant settings." But there's nothing in the Assistant setting that suggests I can switch on Google Assistant.

Google app > Settings > Google Assistant > Hey Google & Voice Match > Hey Google (On it)
I opened Google app (not Chrome), but was not able to find the "Settings". I assume it's found under the logged in Google profile? Once I enter into the Google profile (top right icon), I scrolled down to Settings > Google Assistant, but don't find "Hey Google & Voice Match". Only "Voice Match".

When I entered "Voice Match" the "Hey Google" option was disabled. "To enable this feature, please select Google Assistant or Gemini as the default assistant on this device". Now, I couldn't figure out how to "select" GA as the default.

I tried to follow the steps here: https://www.androidauthority.com/ok-google-not-working-1018903 and first two sections all confirmed setup properly.

However, in the Make sure the Hey Google command is enabled section, I wasn't able to find the "Hey Google & Voice Match" option. My menu only has "General", then immediately go to "Home control".

Aha. So I think the problem is likely some app/cache/data corruption or stuff. All the settings I had on my v3 is correct for enabling Google Assistant but it just won't work. So what I had to do to fix the issue was to set the default app for Digital assistant app to something else, then set it to Google again:

Reset default Digital assistant app
Settings > Apps > Default apps > Digital assistant app > Assist app > Select "None", then select "Google" again.

Enable Hey Google
Settings > Google > All services > Settings for Google apps > Search, Assistant and Voice > Google Assistant > Voice Match > Hey Google (toggle ON)

Hope this helps anyone who hit problem using "Hey Google" on their v3.

Problem was that the "Hey Google" slider was disabled. I guess the problem was it didn't detect that Google was selected as the default Digital assistant app (even though it was). I got it resolved by going to the Default app settings, set the default to something else, then select Google again. I provided the steps in an earlier message above for those who had same issue as me.

Battery 100% at 1pm. Now left 58%.
Usage is whatsapp with calls and video calls, chrome, fb, GPS. all on 5g. WiFi is turned on but not connected. Bluetooth is off. I find 1 hour around 10%, similar to my s24u..

FYI , the phone ordi has a screen protector on interior and exterior, if not sure just feel the front camera u should be able to feel there is a layer of plastic. So don't have to get a new screen protector if u want to save up a bit of $$$
But the back cam module dont have right?
