OK Google Hotword Detection Not Working - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I just got the OTA KitKat update and I can't seem to figure out why the OK Google hotword detection isn't working from the home screen. I read previous posts and made sure that the English language is installed, it is pre-installed for me and also that it was enabled. I tried both search widgets but neither of them has the text that says "Say OK Google to search" or whatever it says. Any ideas? :-\
Edit: Looks like resetting my system settings fixed it. When the phone booted back up it asked which launcher to use and gave me the option of the Google Now Launcher. All is well again.

Google Now "okay google" voice command not working with GE launcher (Jellybeans ROM)

Google Now "okay google" voice command not working with GE launcher (Jellybeans ROM)
Last night I rooted my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with the King application. Installed chainfire's SuperSU and then installed the latest Jellybeans 4.3 ROM.
After I installed lots of apps and changed my settings how I like I was looking at the Jellybeans OTA section and saw where you could download the zip for the 4.4 kitkat Google Experience launcher. I downloaded both it and the Google boot animation and flashed them with safestrap one at a time.
Both of these mods seem to be working just fine, except I can't seem to use the Google Now, "Okay, Google" voice command. Google Now itself works just fine by swiping to the left but whether I am on the home screen or actually in Google Now, when I say the keywords "Okay, Google" or just "Google" it doesn't do anything.
I tried going into the Google Settings where I saw the switch for Google Now was turned on. I went into the voice section and saw the option for "Hotword detection" was turned on.
I tried toggling these settings off and back on again with no apparent effect. In my general settings voice controls were turned off but turning them on didn't help either.
I was wondering if anyone here has had and similar problems getting the Google Now voice command to work using the Jellybeans ROM or if there is anything else I can try. When I had my stock build I could enter Google Now and say "Okay, Google" and it would start listening. I wanted to be able to use the command from the home screen. Now it appears I can't even do it from within Google Now. When I hit the voice search button I can still do that fine so I know the mic is working.

Go to home screen, then menu - settings - voice - offline speech recognition - swipe all the way to the right tab (autoupdate), then swipe back to the left one (installed). Then update. Once it's updated it will work.

[Q] google voice typing missing in lollipop tw rom

I'm running XtreStoLite touch wiz lollipop rom.
In both the Samsung and Google keyboards there is no mic button. When I go to 'settings > language and inputs ' Google voice typing isn't an available option to check. I've seen some threads mentioning turning Google search on, but I don't even see any option for that anywhere. I'm using Google launcher and Google now if that makes any difference. All that seems to work just fine. I just really want to have my voice typing back. Any clue what's happened to it? I'm not even certain it's ever been there on TW lollipop.
Help! Thanks

Voice detection on google now not working.

Greetings.
I just got this phone recently and I'm still trying everything out.
I'm running stock 4.4.2 kitkat, the build is D80220H.
So now I'm tinkering with Google now and it's voice powered search.
When I press the microphone button it starts to listen to me and it works properly that way.
So first, my settings are:
Search language is set to English (US).
In VOICE settings, default language is set to English (US).
In Ok Google tab, " From the Google app" is set to ON, but it doesn't react when I say " Ok Google".
When I try to set " From any screen" to on, it asks me to say " Ok Google" 3 times but the microphone is off or something because it just doesn't hear me, it does not listen to me.
So basically, I can't control google now with my voice. How do I fix this?
Anyone..?
Tried deleting updates for "Google" app, disabled and then enabled. Nothing.
Still not hearing me when it is asking me to repeat ok google 3 times.
Seriously, no one ever encountered this on their G2?
Got the fix.
You need to disable On-Screen Phone in accessibility options.
Thanks to reddit user Muhh24 for this.
And whole r/lgg2 subreddit.

Google Assistant

Anyone rooted get the update? It's working on my wife's non-rooted mxpe, but my rooted phone didn't get anything yet.
I just got it on rooted stock mxp.
Not happy that it doesn't integrate with Moto Voice at all....And GA with screen off doesn't work despite setting in Google app saying it does.
Do you have moto voice on? I also don't have the option for ok google from any screen under the voice settings in the Google app and my wife's phone does. Weird.
How did you get the update? I for a security update this morning which is weird but I didn't think that was related.

It's all server side... You will know you have it by long-pressing the home button, if it pops up with Google Assistant you have it, if it doesn't then Google hasn't turned it on for you yet.

Does Assistant pop up running the Google now launcher for you? I have feeds on and currently a long press just goes to the left Google now screen.

Yes it does... In both Google Now and Nova Prime.
It does appear that the only way to wake the pure is to have moto voice enabled. When activating moto voice it only starts the classic google now interface, not google assistant. I've tried disabling moto voice -- if you do, you can't wake the device from sleep with just your voice. I'm going to follow this thread, maybe someone will find a way?
Using Tasker (and being rooted with Magisk), I was able to get "OK Google" (my custom phrase) waking Moto Voice, then immediately launching Google Assistant. However, it only seems to work right when the screen is already on. If I turn the screen off and say "OK Google", Moto Voice launches, but Tasker never launches the shell command to launch Google Assistant. Not sure what the problem is.
Profile
Event - App (Moto Voice)
Task - Run Shell (/sbin/su -c "input keyevent 219") - if you use SuperSU or something you can just check the Root box, and can just put "input keyevent 219)
I've tried adding delays to the profile, etc... but it almost seems like the Moto Voice screen that comes up when the screen is on is "Moto Voice", but when the screen is off it's not.
Seems like we'll need an update from Motorola to truly solve this.
Running LineageOS 02/13 build. Got Google Assistant working. But OK Google detection works only when on home screen (Nova Launcher). Also I have set the Home button long press action to 'Search Assistant'.
OK Google detection setting is actually greyed out in Google App. But it's somehow working.
P.S: I have opted for Google Beta in playstore.

I'm glad it helped, I've been looking on all android forums and i was messing with the settings until i found the solution, btw sorry for my bad English
I did that with all my MIUI devices, but it doesn't fix the problem, that it's not working when not charging and/or device is screen-off.
If you are on marshmallow there is a module called Google Assistant for non nougat devices

Did you manage to get google assitant enabled with screen off?
It's resetting after running the Security app given by MIUI 8. Then I have to go again and set default voice assistant to google..
Anyway to fix this issue..?

It says initializing or Google voice search is not supported by your device, after clicking microphone icon on google keyboard. If I press microphone icon on Google Maps or others, it will pop up and google microphone and immediately close in less than a second.
