I am trying to use Google Home at my place but its not working as it suppose to be. It is a brand new device, I configured it by using its GOOGLE HOME app on my Samsung S8+. While configuring, I just figured one problem which was "Location service failed", rest went well. when I tried using the device, It listened to my commend "OK Google" and lights blink with a Beep sound but it doesn't respond at all. I tried other method, by tap on the Google Home device and it responded well, as the device suppose to. Please provide me the best solution.

I am on my fourth GH device and think I found the fix. My wife and I noticed GH would respond to her “OK Google” or “Hey Google” command but not me. I changed the language to English UK and now it works for both of us. I don’t understand because I am from GA.
I had the same issue on my Google home mini. But after change home and work locations information, It works for me.
