I have some problems keeping "ok google" always-on function working in 910c Note 4. After enabling it for working in lock screen it wakes the phone from lock screen or with the screen locked and off but after that first time it stops working. It continues working but only from home screen and the option to enable it again turns grayed. I have to reboot to have the chance for enabling it again but only for one time. I have tried turning off s-voice but same behaviour.
Any ideas?
It is Spanish as the default language that is supported in the latest version. If I disable s-voice I don't have to reboot the phone but have to turn the always listening option on every time.

Hi everyone,
I want to use Tasker to wake up the phone by saying a some pharse, but not "Okay Google". Since Tasker can't turn on the display on the Nexus 4, I'm using the Secure Settings plugin. I know for a fact this plugin works because I managed to wake up the device by shaking it, just to try. Issuing the voice command is something else entirely.
For this I downloaded Autovoice, and set it to continuous listening. For some reason, it doesn't respond (even when the screen is on), unless I use Google now. By watching one of Armando Ferreira tutorials on Tasker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J259WzkO3-Y) I learned that by setting continuous on in Autovoice, you can issue voice commands without saying "Ok Google" but it doesn't work for me.
Any ideas why and what I can do?
Thanks.
"Ok Google" bug on lockscreen? Voice unlock in landscape mode does not work.
I have enabled the option to allow "ok google" to unlock my device when the screen is off and the phone is locked.
This works fine in portrait mode, but if my phone is sitting in a position where the sensor thinks it is in landscape mode, my phone will unlock, the screen will adjust to landscape mode, then voice detection will stop listening and the screen re-locks (and stays on, in a locked state).
Is anyone else able to replicate this?
I am having the exact same issue, seems like it starts listening then when it switches to landscape the voice recognition gets pushed to the back or something, I hear the sound for it ending after the rotation but it wont do anything.

I am experiencing the same issue only I have a few more details to add. When my phone was locked at screen off the screen never even turned on. When I voiced a command to "Open Play Music" nothing happened on the screen, but I manually unlocked the phone and Play Music was open.
When the screen was turned off and unlocked when I said "OK Google" the screen turned on (at the lock screen) and oriented itself in portrait for a second and then rotated back to landscape but never opened the phone or showed the "Listening..." screen
This works as it should when the phone is oriented in Portrait mode.
I am having the same issue...anyone sorted this out yet?
nobody else having this issue?

Just to follow up...
I did a factory reset yesterday and I am still having this issue.
i am having the same results as the first few mentioned
Same here
It is not the 6P though. I'm seeing the same stupid behavior on my Nexus 7 since marshmallow.
i didnt try for the landscape mode but my phone unlocks even when my frnds ask it to unlock!!!! ans at times it wont recognize my voice but it will accept my frnds voice!!!!
I'm also having this issue. Are others able to use "OK Google" with screen off in Portrait Mode, or is it just us unlucky ones?
I can use it in Portrait mode just fine. But, if I put the phone down and it thinks it's in landscape mode, it just hangs there. I really hope this gets fixed soon.
Same here. Do iPhone users have to put up with this moronic attitude to product testing?
Today I updated Google and noticed that saying "okay Google" from the home button screen (whatever it's called, the screen shown when you hold the home button for a bit) doesn't work anymore. It works from any other screen from the home screen to the lock screen.
I searched around but found no solution. Anyone have any ideas, or is experiencing the same thing? Could this be just an issue with the update and require another update to fix?
Edit: And now it's mysteriously working again, with absolutely nothing changed or done on my end.
Did you ever get this fixed? Ok google has been very buggy for me. I have a Google Home and wondered if it was messing it up.
So I noticed after the update I couldn't unlock the Axon 7 when it had its screen off and it was plugged in (the feature obviously doesn't work at all if the device isn't plugged in). The way I solved this was to go to the voice activity on Google and I paused (or deactivated) it. By doing this, you essentially reset all Google Voice settings (not the history). Then, just long press the home button which brings up the assistance which will ask you to give it permission to listen to you. It will then ask you to say "Ok Google" three times (as if it's the first time you're using it). When the trusted voice option is toggled (which is automatically will do it for you), the issue is fixed and the phone can be unlocked with you voice with its display off and while plugged in.
Hello,
Im using Google Assistant (Enabled with some xposed module, cant remember wich one) on my S7 Edge running Superman ROM.
I turn my lights on with "Oke Google" Followed by "Turn lights on bedroom"
The only thing i dont like about it, is that the screen has to be on.
Because of trusted voice it works on the lockscreen as well, but not when the screen is turned off.
Is there some way to enable this ?

Hello,
I have a question regarding Google Assistant light automation. I recently purchased a Philips hue system and its working pretty well. Yesterday, I set up Google Assistant to voice control the lighting at home. Some months ago, I received the Android 10 update for the Note 9 and according to the Internet, since that update, Google Assistant asks to unlock the phone in order to perform the turn on/off functions for the bulbs. Now, I found out that adding my home to Smart Lock works. But the thing is that as long the phone is locked, I only get one response from the Assistant. When I try to activate it again, it activates, then it listens to what I'm saying and then it shows the three dot icon like its searching but nothing happens. If I turn off the screen with the button and activate the Assistant once again, it again works for the first command. I tried to factory reset the phone but it didnt help.
This is certainly a Smart Lock/Android 10/Google Assistant issue since if I'm not home and the phone is locked, I receive response all the time. Likewise, if I'm home and unlock the phone manually, I get response on every command.
Is this a bug? Do anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks in advance
Yes, it is a bug, but not necessarily because of the home automation although I first noticed it when it didn't respond to home automation commands or routines.
i recently purchased quite a few automated lights and switches.
ok google
turn on bedroom
what time is it
tell me a joke
all have the grayed out mic and grayed out dots you refer to.
WHEN the phone is unlocked and home.
It is only noticeable for me when the phone is unlocked but home. I have set the GPS and WIFI to keep the phone unlocked at home, so it theoretically should work since it recognizes my wifi network and gps. but it refuses to respond with a "ok google" when speaking about turning something on and off command.
unlock the phone manually and it works.
I haven't been out much...
