there's another reason for why i hate gemini other than it just being AI, whenever it (randomly!!) opens on my phone it turns off my headphones. It doesn't stop the video or plays a different sound, it doesn't simply disconnect the bluetooth, it somehow TURNS OFF my headphones.

whenever gemini does this i need to put the earbuds back in the case and take them out again. how is this a thing

This is still such a big issue for me. Whenever I try to listen to music Gemini turns itself on and powers off my headphones. I even bought different headphones and it still happens with them.

I can even put my headphones away, without me touching them or my phone, but gemini will randomly start and turn off my headphones.

Why must I suffer

now that gemini is “disabled”, this pops up and my headphones are turned off immediately

it seems to be some voice typing / AI assistant thing that either my phone or headphones accidentally trigger constantly, no matter how I try to disable it.

A pop-up screen saying “Your Google Assistant is ready to help you get things done. Turn on.”

@ErikUden WTF... do you have a dedicated button for this on your headphone maybe? For triggering an assistant I mean? Mine have one and I disabled it via app.

@ErikUden there shoud be a setting in your system settings to disable it, so it won't show up at all

For me it's called "default digital assistant" app under default apps, and you can choose "None".

You should also be able to uninstall the Gemini with adb using a computer, or with Canta (requires an app called Shizuku, both found on fdroid).

@ErikUden search for "Default Digital Assistant app" in your settings and set it to "none", maybe that helps?

okay, it seems to be any google assistent doing this. I switched to “Google Assistent”, headphones still turn off. I have no idea what causes this or can be done to fix it, and Google doesn't allow to uninstall any of the two. thank you, Google ❤️

I wonder if gemini is why my ear buds are now randomly going to my phone when I'm using them with my computer. #bluetooth #technology #bugs#PixelBugs #hacking

@ErikUden interesting observation 🤔
When Gemini pops up on my Samsung phone unexpectedly, it pauses music in Bluetooth earbuds, but it resumes when I close it.

I kept the assistant disabled for as long as I could, but the constant nagging made me ditch Google Android for /e/OS on a Fairphone 4.

Quite a revelation feeling you actually own your phone. Like, it is there for you, not the other way around.

@seindal I wish I chose /e/OS for my Fairphone. But I got it from my dad and he chose the Google Android.

You can flash /e/OS yourself. I managed to do so.
