I've been using the OK Google hotword detection since I've installed the rooted 4.4.2 leaked rom and everything has been fine for a month or so. Just recently it completely stopped working, voice search now only works if I hit the microphone button. Even if I uninstall Google Search and reinstall it and try to run the setup again it won't work. When it asks me to train my voice and say "OK google" three times it won't pick up anything.
So this all started when I woke up one morning and my alarm clock Sleep Genius had an error and stopped working, and when I forced closed it and hit the home button I had to pick the launcher again (I've been using Apex) . So I picked Apex again and noticed my background was different than what I had before. Don't know if that has to do with anything but that's when I noticed hotword detection stopped working. I uninstalled both apps to see if that would work and still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.
Silly question: have you restarted the phone? You didn't state that in your post.
Also, have you tried clearing cache/dalvik?
Okay so I tried wiping the caches and that didn't do anything. I started digging a bit more into this (searched Google and about 15 pages in found this) - disabling apps that are turned on under the Accessibility menu. Turned off Music Boss, Pebble watch and Lightflow. Sure enough started working again!
Will this effect how any of these apps work? I tested out my pebble and it still got a notification so everything seems fine so far.
Thanks for the help though!

I bought my Nexus 7 (16GB) just a week ago. It's been working fine up until today. I have installed a couple of apps so far. Today I heard about a new app I wanted to search for so I clicked on the shopping bag icon to go to Google Play. A message popped up asking if it was ok to do an update so I clicked on "install now". It took just a couple minutes then the nexus shut off and restarted itself.
I returned to Google Play and after searching for the particular app (without success) I returned to the main screen and tapped on the one game I had installed - and am now addicted to - Flow Free. I got a pop up message that said, "Unfortunately, Flow Free has stopped" and it gives me the option to click on "report" or "ok". It had been working perfectly every day for the last week so I couldn't imagine why it wasn't working now.
The first couple of tries to open it I clicked on "ok" thinking that it might just be slow to respond but the app never opened. I tried turning off the nexus, waiting a few minutes then turning it back on hoping that a re-boot would fix the issue. It didn't. I still got the same message. I tried uninstalling the app then re-installing it. Same issue. I tried uninstalling it, turning off the nexus then turning it back on and re-installing. Same issue.
Since "report" was one of the options I clicked on that and sent a report. But I have no idea how that works. Does someone actually read these and respond or does it just go on a list of complaints people have that go ignored?
All the other apps I had previously installed still worked ok. I installed a couple more just to make sure they work and they do.
So my questions are: Was it the update that caused this particular app to stop working or was that just a coincidence? Is there anything else I can do to get this app to work again?
OK so I have a SUPER weird issue, I haven't found it anywhere on the web. A google search for my issue brought up maybe 2 people who have had this issue. So here goes. Running a Nexus 4 on stock AOSP, stock recovery, but rooted. I haven't had any issues until last night and I haven't installed anything since then, just updated Facebook I think. Whenever I'm on wifi my phone won't connect to any site except for Google services. I can google search and they will come up fine but when I click a search result it will not load the page if it isn't a google page. The only way to get back online is to turn off Wifi. WHen I disable wifi I get this weird toast message that says "Ending Session". Then everything works fine! Any ideas? I hate factory resetting especially since I have no SD card, so I wanted to ask here first. Thanks!
Sounds like you have an app that is building a VPN or acting as a proxy connection... This is an app issue and should not be coming from the operating system, this would also explain why you can't access everything. What app is doing this is the difficult one to figure out... :/
FIXED!
Figured it out. I don't know what it was but it was one of the xposed modules that I had installed. I removed xposed framework and it started working fine.
This is a problem I didn't notice right away. I attribute it to the QF2 update because wife also has an S7 and experiences exactly the same issue.
In a matter of hours after reboot the internal sensors stop working or behave erratically. Sometimes the phone would go to the lowest brightness, the screen will not turn off by the proximity sensors during a conversation. Functions relying on shaking the phone stop working. Some (but for some reason not all) apps don't switch to the landscape mode. I downloaded several sensor testing apps and they confirmed my suspicions. After the reboot everything works, but several hours later sensors start showing random values or "no data".
Does anyone else have the same problem? With two affected phones in my possession it can't be a random fluke.
The phones are not rooted.
I had an issue where the phone no longer responded to "OK Google". Turns out I uninstalled all the updates to the "Google" app and reinstalled them from Google Play and that fixed it. I wasn't sure if it was the OTA for the phone or something else, but the OTA might have jacked something up somewhere. Have you cleared cache and such to see if that fixes it? Otherwise, I'm having no issues with the sensors not working.
Thanks for your suggestion. My phones are set for manual updates. I updated everything and rebooted. The sensors worked fo about 12 hours and stopped. Which cache you recommend to purge? Google app?
Google was working fine till yesterday but from today onward the google assistant is totally broken. I checked the setting and saw the setting under voice is grayed out. Tried every method like clearing the google app cache, its data and also uninstalling its updates but still the problem persist. Phone is completely stock (not rooted).
Edit: Seems problem of Google app. Play store reviews with same problem...
Same problem here...
Ok Google does not work.
Don't know why. Greyed out.
Same issue here, Pixel Experience ROM, Voice Greyed out. Assistant screen stuck on Just a sec...
Me too

Hi, I have a Galaxy S10+ on Verizon in the USA.
Having a few major problems that I just can't figure out:
1. When I try to download apps from the Play store, the download gets to 99 or 100% but never completes the installation. The fix is to go into settings/apps/show system apps/download manager and "force stop." Then the installation will complete.
2. Some apps don't work correctly. For example the CBS Radio News app starts streaming audio, then stops a few seconds later. And the ParKing app sometimes records my location upon disconnection from my car's bluetooth, and sometimes it doesn't.
3. Notifications from all apps are totally unreliable. Sometimes they'll come right away. Sometimes not for hours, and sometimes all at once. And sometimes when tapping on a notification it will bring you into the app. while sometimes it will do nothing.
WHAT I TRIED:
Tried rebooting, clearing data and cache on problem apps.
Cleared data and cache on "Google", Google Play Store and google play services.
Cleared phone's cache partition.
Uninstalled and reinstalled broken apps.
I THOUGHT I FOUND THE SOLUTION:
All these problems went away a month or so ago when I logged out of my google account on the phone. Iogged back in and it all worked great! I thought the problem was solved, but now it's all happening again. Logged of the the google account and back in, but it's still broken this time.
AND:
I had similar problems with my Galaxy S7, and thought the new phone would fix these problems! Is it possible there's something wrong with my google account? How could I have the same problems on both phones?
I haven't yet tried a factory reboot on the S10+, but I did do it on the S7, and after working for a while, the problems came back.
Additional info:
Mobile data and wifi have strong signals.
No custom ROMs, not rooted or anything, just stock the way it came. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Nothing sideloaded.
All battery optimization is turned off. Power mode set to "high performance."
I've looked everywhere for a solution and have come here to the ultimate experts. You're my last hope!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
