Gemini can't set timers, make reminders(can't connect to "device assistance" with all privacy-invading bullshit enabled).

Is there any other mobile OS that does simple voice commands?

All I want are timers, alarms, date reminders, and apparentlysndroid can't process those anymore.

I tried it a couple of different times when they suggested to install Gemini, and finally they forced it, and I uninstalled Gemini again, and now I have no Google Assistant, and it is completely useless, so I just don't use voice commands anymore.

I gave them feedback in vain each time, but, obviously, like I said, it was in vain. So, here we are, another product added to the Google Graveyard.

It's pretty inconvenient, but I think it's actually a blessing because it's helping to push me away from Google and move me over to Home Assistant instead, something that actually will continue to be supported as long as people continue to use it, unlike Google's products, that just vanish for no reason due to their heavy-handed decisions.
