The "ok google " hot word was working when I got my phone several days ago, even with the screen off. Now suddenly today, It just stopped working. Now, in the "ok google" detection field under google now settings, the top section is still checked, "from google search app", but "always on" and "when locked" boxes are now both greyed out. The "retrain" and "delete voice model" boxes are also greyed out. They were not when I originally got the phone. This apparently happened today, and I havent messed with any of the settings. Plus I see no sign of an update to google now that might have casued a change like this within the app.
The most interesting thing though, as I mentioned in the title is that the "always on" box is now saying that this feature is currently unavailable for this language....which is english / US....wtf
This will happen if you disable S Voice.
Ohhhh, well **** why does this feature need svoice to work? This some stupid touchwiz thing? I didnt even have svoice on my s4, (titanium backup ftw) and it worked fine. Except for the screen off option, which wasnt available in 4.3
Thanks, I had this issue, at first ok google was working on any screen which was pretty cool, then yesterday I noticed it wasn't working any longer, I forgot S-Voice needs to be working, I disabled it a few days back, better switch it back on

Voice trained it the first time, and it seemed to be working. Waited a few minutes and kept repeating OK Google from off screen and nothing, went in retrained it nothing...deleted voice pattern, tried it again. Anyone else finding its very flakey?
As bas as ok google is s-voice works everytime
So ok google doesnt seem to wake the phone up, at least on mine not working. So i tried hi galaxy, works like a charm all the time so much for ok google.
Mine wakes up when screen is off for about an hour after trained, then it just decides not to.
Works perfectly for me, screen off, screen on, locked screen... perhaps you should not have set up S-voice too? I have not touched S-voice as there is no need for both apps.

I didnt set up s voice, i only resorted to it after ok google from sleep wasnt working. I had experience like other op where it worked then waited a few minutes and dint work. One app has nothing to do with other app, theyvare completely independant. Anyway to each their own enjoy ok google, lol
go to settings > Language and input
click on the gear button next to Google voice typing
click on OK Google detection
select the options to have OK google on on lock screen and when screen is turned off
Yeah I was playing with it last night and it seemed to have ignored me after awhile when the phone was off.
So maybe the phone is actually going into sleep mode fully.
Sadly, the ability of my s5 (Kitkat 4.4.2 SM-6900T NK2) to respond to "OK Google" from any screen is very, very unreliable these days. If I go back to an earlier version of Google Search, sometimes it will work again. If I update to the latest version, sometimes that will work for a day, then it breaks again. Sometimes if I just retrain it to recognize me saying OK Google, it will work for a while.
While it's broken, I can even try OK Google from the screen the widget is on, and nothing happens.
This is really annoying. I've made sure that all the required options are selected, such as audio history on, from google search app, from any screen, and from lock screen.
Is anyone else having this same problem?
Tried clearing data & cache for the actual app itself?
Recently battled an issue where OK GOOGLE stopped working, and I could not get it enabled due to claims by the app that the microphone could not be accessed and that I should reboot. After research, much of which was not correct for our phone, I stumbled upon the advice that "MOTO VOICE" be disabled in SETUP -> APPS. Once it was disabled, the problem went away.
NOTE: Simply turning "Moto Voice" off under settings did NOT solve the problem for me. Only disabling the app did.
I noticed that my OK Google was not functioning the other day so I went into the Google Assistant settings and noticed that "Say OK Google any time" was switched off. I went in and switched it back on, but when I go back in it is switched off every time.
Anyone else notice this? Saying OK google still seems to work, just thought it was odd...
A.
yeah I noticed that too on TMO s7e also causes my battery to drain
I too noticed that as well. I uninstalled updates and then reinstalled app. Same result.
Back when Oreo was in beta, I read reports of people finally being able to activate Google assistant while the screen is off. However, now that I have the official update, it still doesn't seem possible. And even more so, I can't even trigger GA to unlock my phone from the lock screen- Google's settings say it is blocked by my phone's administrator, something that was never an issue in Nougat.
Has anyone else noticed the same and/or gotten GA to work from a locked or turned off screen?
Hi. I didn't have any problems to unlock or activate my device with the google assistant on Oreo. But I had the same issues like you with Nougat.

Is there a setting to enable in Google settings that I'm not seeing? Did you need to disable Bixby or something?
Ahh dang! I got it working to turn my screen on, but I can't get it to unlock my screen. Looks like it is most likely due to my "Work Mode" profile for my job, it seems like Smart Lock itself is disabled.

On nougat I tried everything to unlock my phone with google assistant. It worked only 1 or 2 times and then Bixby or some other Samsungstuff dominated GA so the GA couldn't recognize my voice.
On Oreo it works fine. I have never activated Bixby Home and Bixby Voice after flashing and wiping my actual ROM.
