SmartVision 3 – Google assistant button does not works


Problem

When a SmartVision 3 user presses the Google Assistant button on the right side panel of the SmartVision 3 phone they no longer hear the confirmation sound, the action requested by the user also fails.

Google changed the behaviour of it’s Google Assistant to include a visual element and a less definite acknowledgement of activation.  This appears to a deliberate design change made by Google.  The assistant still works but only with a light beep and vibration signal. The resolution below will restore the previous behaviour.
