Thank you, I add it to the list!
The problem is that many of these contacts (eg, "remind me ... in ... hours") have to be completed by hand, by touching the screen. Now does not allow voice confirmation of contacts in a usable way. I went crazy through trial and error to get the phone to dial without having to touch it (just by voice) when a contact has more than one phone number, which is very common.
There is a bit of a mess before that, you can also configure all the contacts well, but of course you have to get to it! : =)
Of course, if I have them like that, well ordered ... I mean that nobody tells you that to finish dialing without hands for a contact who has "home" and "mobile" phones, for example, you have to say "Call Manuel Ramírez to the home phone. It is not "home" or "home", and if you do not specify, when he asks you "Home or Mobile?", You cannot answer "Home": you have to repeat everything.
That is why I went through so much trial and error ...
I would like there to be a command to close a certain application or to go to the home screen, since you activate the option that «ok google» is available while the screen is active, that after reading a message or sending a wazzap you say « ok google, go to start "or" close youtube "is useful even after having said" ok google, current temperature "and it has given you the temperature, say" ok google, close google "and return to the beginning, or at least it is my opinion
I would like that instead of saying ok. google now, it could be configured to personalize it with another name and I would like you to check because well in my case it is activated without any order several times a day, the fact is that I have to activate it because it is even a nuisance to me, I hope and take it in count my comment
