I updated today, and since then when I have Wi-Fi on, the search bar will not work when I'm on Wi-Fi. I get a screen that says I'm offline immediately. Every other app works. If I open Chrome and search it works.

I googled and tried all the suggested things, turned off private DNS , toggled airplane mode, forgot the Wi-Fi networks and relogged in, restarted the phone but nothing works.

Everything I found online gives results about Wi-Fi not working at all, but for me it's only if I use the Google bar. I even cleared cache from the Google app.

Any other things I should try?

My Pixel Tablet has gone completely deaf. A few weeks ago my Pixel phone stopped responding to "Hey Google," then the tablet took over, and now the tablet has gone completely silent too.

I've tried everything: cleared Google app data, wiped cache, toggled every hidden Gemini/ Assistant lock screen setting, and checked language alignment. Nothing works. I am on the Android Beta track, so I suspect a core system bug is killing the mic driver during sleep mode.

Is anyone else on the beta dealing with a completely bricked wake word on the lock screen, or am I forced to opt-out and factory reset this thing just to get basic smart display functionality back?

I guess that's a workaround. I don't get the weather or a calendar update when my alarm goes off like it used to, though.

Then, this week, podcasts from Reuters and Fox News dropped out for some reason.

I've been listening to these things for many years, I don't understand why they would stop this.

Are there any AIs that can do this?

I've noticed this more times than I would like. For example, I'll say "Hey Google, start vacuuming" and it'll respond with "Starting the robot vacuum?"

It starts it and works fine it's kind of funny/annoying that it responds as if it's asking a question. It also seems completely random as to when it decides to say it correctly or not.

My Gemini fails to start navigations when I say take me to work, it fails to complete basic actions resulting in me having to do it manually. I used to work before, so any ideas why this could be happening?

When I say take me to work, it shows me the info but doesn't open it on maps, and I have to open it and then start myself.
