    Nope….no workie

  4. J MICHAEL SALVETTI says:

    You cannot clear data and cache of the Google Assistant app on Samsung phones as both are greyed out when you open the Assistant Settings.

  5. Ken says:

    I cleared the data cache of the Google App (not Assistant), edited my home address, uninstalled and reinstalled Assisstant, retrained my voice for “Hey Google,” and turned off the recording/reporting setting. Assistant works better now. If the error message returns, then I will try to update this comment. Thanks.

  6. Daniel Wright says:

    None of that made any changes

    • Nikhil Azza says:

      Just update Assistant

  7. Kevin Steele says:

    None of these work for me. Only restarting the phone does, and that only lasts a little while.

    • Nikhil Azza says:

      Try downloading the Google Assistance App instead of depending on Google App. May work!

      • Jeff F says:

        Solved it for me.

      • Liron says:

        you don’t need to reboot,
        you need only to force stop the app

  8. Jonathan says:

    English is the only language i know and the Google app is updated, tried doing everything but it’s still doing if

  9. MikeH says:

    I had wrong account setup in google. changed to my gmail account and now everything works fine

  10. Tyrone says:

    None of these fix it for longer than a day. And if you have to clear the cache and the data on a daily basis, then your app is broken. I can’t say if it does it on any devices other than Samsung, but it’s effing annoying.

  11. Micky says:

    Thank you for sharing your advice, after following all of your suggestions with no luck, I noticed that I had been signed out of my google account. This is not intended to criticize your post, I will keep these steps in mind for future issues, I only wanted to share in the case it may help future ding dongs who find their way to your site.

  12. Andrew Alexander says:

    None of these work for me. “Something went wrong” all the time. About to give up.

  13. Paul Nicholson says:

    I downloaded the assistant app from play store , even though you don’t really need it , it works perfectly after

  14. Ed Hunter says:

    i have to clear the cache every few days as the error has been coming back for months. Its a nightmare. I am thinking of switching to apple if it continues. NOTE 9. I have reinstalled the google assistant app as well.

  15. Chuck T says:

    I have noticed this on my Bose (with built in Google commands) and it started with my two Google devices (Nest Display and Nest Speaker)… I am starting to think this may be something related to network traffic as I have rebooted my Bose sound bar (which I use religiously in the bedroom) but still seem to get many times “Something went wrong, try again in a second”

    I have google assistant on my iPhone, but dont use it too much. Any ideas?

  16. Emmanuel says:

    Did what you said and it works. Added to that I searched assistant voice in the settings then set speech output to none: I don’t use google assistant as all those assistant make you dumb and dependant. Use your brain. Don’t be used by machines.

  17. Feral says:

    This article doesn’t explain how to clear the cache of the Google Home app. Can someone walk me through (using iPhone 12)?

    • Nikhil says:

      iPhone do not have option to clear cache, delete the app and reinstall from app store.
