I've been trying to figure this out since I got the phone, I need some help. How do you wake up the phone while the screen is off using voice?
I turned "voice wake up" on in the svoice settings but it doesn't work. Some people say this was never a feature but apps like "S for switch voice" claim it's a working feature.
It would be awesome if anyone can help,
Thanks

I just chatted with Samsung live chat thing. They said it is a feature
"Alastair: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi, can you explain to me how to get my Galaxy S5 to wake up while the screen is off using S voice?
Alastair: I understand that you require information how to wake up the device using S Voice. Is that correct?
Visitor: yes
Alastair: Thank you for confirming.
Alastair: May I know the model number of the device? You may find it in Applications>Settings>General>About Device. You can also find the model number beneath the Phone's battery. Generally model number starts with SGH,SPH,SCH,GT or SM.
Visitor: SM-g900v
Alastair: Thank you for the model number.
Alastair: I would like to inform you that you need to say "Hello Galaxy" to wake up the device.
Visitor: can i do this while the screen is off?
Alastair: Yes, the device will wake up when the screen is off."
After a long chat, and factory resetting, they recommended me to return it to Verizon. Still cant get it to work
Guess I will wait and see if this problem is addressed by Samsung, or if the Samsung live chat person has no idea what they are talking about.
I can't get S Voice to wake up at all - Ok Google works fine for Google Now but the default wake up command and my custom wake up command are doing nothing to wake up S Voice.
I'm glad I see no point to S Voice considering the robustness of Google Now.
I'm having same issue, s voice won't wake phone no matter what. I figured eh whatever cause google now is awesome:thumbup:

I don't mean to bump this thread but I figured it out if anyone is interested.
Turn on Car mode then exit out (make sure you still have the steering wheel notification in the status bar). Now you can say "hi galaxy" whenever.
What makes this good is that you can download "S for switch voice" app on the play store. That opens Google Now instead of Svoice. Works just like a Moto X now

I guess so. Looks like it's the best we are gonna get
I thought would ask on this thread to keep the spam down.
Can this svoice wakeup thing be achieved now that we have root? I mean the function is already there with car mode, but maybe someone could strip down the car mode to have it only wake up with voice, and not mess with Bluetooth or restrict minimum volume.
I know this requires more work then I can imagine and is probably pretty low on anyone's priority list, but if anyone could tell me how to do it or link me to a fix, that would be awesome.
Thanks
I think u should bump this question again to the main Q&A. I would also love to have this figured out, just not sure if any one is following this post any more.

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.

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.

No root, no need to download or install anything.
This work for other devices as well as the Note 4. This enables the Google now "Ok Google" Feature where you can active Google now while the screen is off. This is something like the Moto X feature.
How To:
1) Open Google Now
2) Go to Google Now Settings
3) Click on "Voice"
4) Enable "Audio History"
5) Click "Ok Google Detection"
6)Click "Always on" and follow the remaining directions.
You Can also watch this How To Video if you want:
If you device is unsupported or it just wont work, then there is an app called "Open Mic+ for Google Now" which does this for you.
This also works on the Lg G3, Nexus 5, and Galaxy S5, from what I know. Please feel free to try other devices and let me know if they work as well.
Mod Edit: closed as a duplicate.

works with text and calling. You have to allow Google to store and access your contacts in order to do it.
Does anyone have any idea as to whether or not you'll be able to change the trigger words to something else? "Okay, google" feels kind of clumsy haha.

"when am i" is also a good one, and i think "ok jarvis" might still work too.
anyone try s-voice with the screen off? or am i one of the only ones that still likes s-voice? on the note 3 it was beautiful, before google's screen off voice recognition came about. on the s4 it's worthless. hoping they might revamp it, but hey, who knows.

closest i could get was a hot british chick. but i'm sure that with root we could probably load the voice synthesis data in place of the stock one. (for the hot british chick, open google now, go to settings, then voice, then choose the different version of english.)
Seems like a cool feature that I'll probably try.. but does anyone else feel creeped out by Google listening to you all the time?

Yes I do find it creepy. I also found that Google Now doesn't search what I want, maybe that's just me.
It seems I get best results by simple opening Google search and entering one or two words on my topic of interest.
I also do not like that Now is trying to decide what I like or what I would think relevant. Again that's just me.
I turned it off completely. Each to his own!

For some reason, I can't get it to recognize anything except "ok google". Tried ok jarvis, and many others. Any trick to getting a different command to work?
I've never really figured out if people think that actual people are "listening" to what we say or "reading" our texts and email.
Nobody is. It's all code. . It's not stored and read by others later, it's not information used by human beings. It's simply information used as variables for function calls in the code. The audio the mic picks up is fed into a stack of information blocks in a first in last out method. Each sample in the stack is analyzed, not by words spoken but by the signal analysis of the detected noises. All of the noises are converted to a spectrum via Fourier analysis and then any pattern that matches the expected pattern will trigger the interrupt condition needed to turn the phone on. "Okay jarvis" has a frequency domain spectrum very similar to "okay google", thats why it works too. Any noise the mic picks up that does not match the expected pattern of noises are simply lost.
A similar process is used for email and text parsing. I know this stuff can seem scary and dubious but it's really just basic computing. Everything is converted to 1s and 0s. It's easy to let our imaginations run wild when we don't understand how something works. Imagine turning on a lighter or using a flashlight a few thousand years ago. Those things would be magical, and most likely destroyed on the spot along with the "demon" that had them.

On a side note, if you disable S Voice, this will NOT work. Also, even if you have lock password or fingerprint it will still work.

Yes, I found out the same after disabling S Voice. I have been able to wake the phone up with an "OK, Google" though I must say it hasn't worked consistently.

I've had a look around for answers for this and have found a few people asking about it on different sites but not on xda and no answers anywhere.
I've a moto 360, and want to know if there's a way to either keep the screen on indefinitely and/or stay within an application when the screen goes to sleep.
The best way to describe this is to use an example; when I go grocery shopping I like to use google keep on my watch to tick off items on my shopping list, the problem is every 10 seconds or so I find myself having to wake the watch, navigate to the keep app and open it. I appreciate this doesn't take long, but its a pain in the backside when you have to do it every 5 minutes (with my awful memory!)
Does anyone know a way to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

Wear mini launcher now has an option to force the app to stay open (and the watch stays lit) until you manually close it.
Bubble launcher has a "lock app" option. The the watch will go to sleep as normal, but that app will immediately reload when you wake the watch. (Keep goes right back to same place you were.)
"Pin An App for Android Wear" does the same as bubble launcher, without the launcher function.
Great stuff, thank you!
I couldn't get mini launcher to work, but pin an app works like a dream! thank you!

I realized later that the stay-on ability is only in the beta release for now. If you go to the "wear mini launcher" community on google+, you can join the beta program. Or just wait, I guess.
Every time the Verizon commercial comes on where the actor initiates the "OK Google", my phone wakes up and starts listening for something. This is very alarming since I thought it is supposed to be "trained" by your voice. This is a hack waiting to happen. This means that if you have your phone set to unlock via "OK Google", anyone can open your phone if left unattended.
This is a serious issue people should know about.

But with Trusted Voice, it would unlock the phone. It's one feature I wish Google would borrow from Moto. The customized launch phrase but then i guess it wouldn't have that distinct OK Google Launch phrase anymore. They modified it for the Google Home where you can say "Hey Google" instead so I think we're on a path to customized launch phrases.

You're right. It's why people must understand that smartlock get convenience instead of security. This is a good feature through, but I don't use the trusted voice since it's false positive is too high right now.
This isn't really anything new or surprising.
Although I have yet to meet anyone who can do it on my phone since people try all the time. It was bound to happen so just use common sense and don't allow your phone to be unlockable by voice.

Every tech podcast that says ok Google my phone comes alive. Been this way since first ok Google. Just disable the cute commend to unblock it. Problem solved. On side note the new GoPro hero 5 used hot words so if you want you can mess with them folks also.
It seems that as long as the first word is "OK" and the last word is two syllables it will still respond to that instated of "OK Google". I trained my Nexus 6 to respond to "OK Nexus" and that worked wonderfully. "OK Google" wouldn't wake it up.
You could try training it to listen for "OK Pixel" since the first word is "OK" and "Pixel" is two syllables and see if that solves your issue.
It triggers mine half of the time. Also MKBHD YouTube videos will trigger as well. Not concerned.
