Have my new unlocked s25 ultra. When I press and hold the power button it launches Google. Lens, not gemini. Can't figure out how to get gemini to launch. I have checked the assistant in setting and it was set to gemini but seems like standard Google assistant is what engages. Anyone have suggestions on what may be causing gemini not to work? I disable and reenabled gemini but no luck

Can you access Gemini by drawing your finger from the bottom (left or right corner) towards center of the screen? This should trigger your Gemini assistant.

I'm curious if you have "good lock" installed with "RegiStar" running. This is an added app that also allows you to re-map your side key. If your phone settings are correct then I guess another app is overriding the settings. 1739475768259.jpg

I've also noticed this is happening on my S25 Ultra as well. Mine will sometimes be Google Assistant and then other times it will be Gemini. I also have it set to Gemini in my settings. I haven't figured it out yet, but will update if I find a solution! I was thinking it had something to do with Android Auto, but haven't done enough tests with it yet.

That's weird. I don't have that issue. Do you have Good Lock installed?

BINGO! Registrar was set to Google Lens. I tried the swipe from lower left and right, that used to work on s24 with 6.1 but doesn't seem to work on one ui 7 at least on my device. Have to launch the circle to search

Thanks
