What he said. It was Google's decision to that, even the Nexus 4 does it that way.

As 2 people said before you, samsung didnt do that. Google did so people who have no idea what it is done go and fiddle around with it. If you want/need it you will know how to get it.

I don't want them
These three keep updating to my phone, how do I get them to stop? I've already removed them. They are not checked under the Accessories area.
The check mark icon that lets me know that a download is complete, will not go away.

Touchless Control on the Moto G.

Here's a new feature on the Moto G, which works like Touchless control. Google added this on all Android devices.
How to activate:
1) Open the Google Now app
2) Tap the mic. and say "Okay Google everywhere"
3) Now go to the menu button (3 dots at the bottom) and tap it.
4) Go to "Voice"
5) You'll see "Okay Google Detection".
6) Check the first 2
7) Done!
Now, on any screen, say "Ok Google". It also works when screen is off, but only while charging.
Yeah it's not actually as useful as you might think and your a little late to the party.

It was being rolled out by region, I guess still is. Flashing XT1032 US Retail made it work out of the box. Maybe set TTS voice as one of the US options.

Maybe not what you want, but if you flash the US XT1032 firmware it will work. Eventually it should be available everywhere in the world.
Thanks
Its new to me thank you, f*ck all the haters.
New to me too, but not at all working on XT1033
Great post, thank you!

Works from the lock screen as long as the phone is charging. Google removed a lot of functionality over the last 3 months. Voice control was removed from Google Music Player but still works on Nexus devices.

Thank you OP! Some of us are new to Android and appreciate the tip
Another tip for enabling this feature: (**Root Required**)
Firstly install UnleashTheGoogle.apk.
Once installed, grant it root permissions, and kill the Google Search app in the settings (Force close). Then you should see some options in the Google Now settings. The IDs to change in the "Config Flags" menu are 199 and 202. Change them to ON. Also, check that the 223 is ON too.

[Q] How to check if phone is refurbished?

Hi,
I've been searching for a way on how to check if the unit has been serviced (refurbished)? Are there codes of some sort that we can use or a hidden menu that will show this information?

I believe you can download phone info by samsung then you can check there if your phone is original or refurbished

well ok, but what's wrong with downloading a few mb of apps? then delete it. atleast you can assure that your phone is not refurbish
roaring from the beast NOTE 4(N910C)
Dial ##786# or *#*#786#*#* go to view and scroll down if there is big Yes then your phone is refurbished if NO then your phone is not. Google it for better understanding.
I try both of this code and it's not working for me.

Iphone Like Text to speach?

So my father recently switched from iphone 6 to Samsung Galaxy s8, and there is one thing he really misses and that is that you could highlight text and press the little microphone and it would read it out to him. Is there anything I can do to replicate this? Thank!

Check accessibility settings in your phone. There might be something that you are looking for.

I see. You can have it turned on through accessibility > vision > voice assistant (on). The implementation is really horrible though.
Did you try playstore to see if there are apps that can do what you're looking for?

OK Google voice command only goes to lockscreen

So I've been playing around all day to get this to work but cannot. Every time I use the OK Google voice command with the screen off it only goes to the lockscreen and I have to enter a pattern.
I've read through a few posts but nothing I've tried is working.
Can anyone offer some assistance??

You have to set up voice unlock I believe. Go into settings in the app and voice model> retrain voice model.. You should be able to set it up then

On mine, like the other guy said, press the envelope icon top right. At the top it says explore, beside that your stuff, and to the right of that, 3 dots. Click on the 3 dots, then settings, and then click phone, then access and unlock. Mine was doing same thing. Glad that I saw this thread.
