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.

Dang, I spent all yesterday and some of this morning looking and couldn't find any alternative.

I'm trying to use Gemini, but it is so slow, doesn't recognize any of my voice commands and won't set timers alarms or tasks.

Now I'm trying to find out if I factory reset my phone if there's a way that I can get assistant back and then freeze the updates so that it doesn't get kicked out of the phone again.
