I just figured out how to disable the mic without using the hardware switch after my streaming services stopped every time a commercial said "Hey Google" and it responded. Go into menu > settings > apps > app permissions > microphone > show system apps, then turn the microphone permission off for Google and Google Play Services. You likely only need to turn one of them off, but I killed them all together. There will be a few system apps that you can't change, but they don't seem to matter. No more constant listening in, no nag messages, no streaming interruptions, and no stupid bright lights from turning the hardware switch off. For the remote, I simply don't press the mic button. I tried the Hisense method listed above, but it required me to setup Google Assistant before I could turn it off. My suggestion to Hisense would be to let the led's time out when turning the hardware switch off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are unable to turn off google assistant completely from settings. If you attempt to do so, it will prompt you to setup google assistant every time you turn on the TV, (very annoying). In fact if you go into settings, turn off google assistant and enable Alexa it will still prompt you to setup google assistant every time you turn on the TV. You can use a hardware button to turn off google assistant but the draw back is now the TV will have a bright distracting row of lights on the bottom of the screen to indicate it is not listening. You can of course cover the lights with electrical tape - such a classy option.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.the tv has manual switch that can turn off the mic. i actually just chose not to set up the Google Assistant. Also in the settings in the tv, you can turn off Google Assistant as another option.
