"OK google" always on not working. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone always received great answer here but still very new at this. My problem is with the Att galaxy note 4 (currently brand new and still stock). When using with all properly enabled "OK google" wake up command only works intermittetanly. Work fine all day yesterday....I wake up today and it is gone again. Works fine always if using google now launcher....but would rather it work with all launchers as they each have desired features. Any Ideas? Sorry if the subject has been brought tip before but I could not find it.

Google Goggles on the Vega

I installed Google Goggles from the Martket the other day.
Its loads but after going through the first couple of screens it disappears (I guess it minimizes as i dont get any force close message).
Is anyone else having the same issue or is it working for you?
Same issue here im afraid.

It also happened to me, it worked fine until I upgraded it
Same here too.
It was working on mine originally but since I updated something it now fails as you describe.
I was messing about using it with a USB camera which worked fine btw.
I posted about this on Modaco and some ignorant tw**t posted a sarcy reply about why would I want to use it anyway with a front facing camera
Probably doesn't work unless you have a fake location set (like Google Earth).
Tried with fake my location running still not working!

[Q] Phone sensors unresponsive for a few secs when receiving call.

Hello everyone. I've done a few searches on here but haven't found this exact problem. Relevant details without extra background info are in bold.
My wife and I each got an S4 with Sprint's recent BOGO promotion. My phone has had no issues. It came with MDL in the box, which I updated to MF9 via OTA, flashed TWRP via Heimdall in Linux, rooted, and installed the hotspot mod.
Her phone - completely stock MF9 and new from the store - has had problems, one of which I've so far been unable to fix. (How I wish it were mine. I develop for Android, but this is much more of a pain for her.) Hers already had MF9 at the store. It had the Google Services Framework/Core Apps runaway process issue with heat/battery drain from the start - which I fixed. However, it also has unresponsive sensors for ~3 seconds when receiving a call. It's almost as if there's some lag in activating the sensors. The phone is otherwise snappy with no other lag noted.
- Hard reset has been tried.
- The touchscreen is unresponsive during this time, though the display functions.
- The gesture for answering (when enabled) also does not work.
- We haven't tried enabling the home key to answer, but this will be next.
I've seen this before with Android a good while back. It was an inherent problem with Gingerbread on many phones. Haven't seen it pop up in Jellybean at all. In trying to diagnose, I've ensured that all bells and whistles are turned off. No air gestures are on.
We'd really like to get it working as it should. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
Many thanks!
I believe this is more of a stock software issue. I have had the issue since day one.
When I turned off svoice and some of the other added features most of the lag disappeared. Svoice is pretty good at creating lag as far as ive seen.
Voice response seems to create th lag as it is awaiting a voice command from you.
This is what I have noticed anyway.

[Q] ok google less responsive.

Ok google was working beautifully when I got my phone, screen off etc.
Now it only works consistently when I am in the google now screen. I have turned s-voice on and off without any change.
I cant find any conflicts and was hoping someone would tell me the solution. I love google now and its always on capability.
Thanks!

Okay Google hotword detection not working properly

Like the title says, hotword detection used to work great, but in recent months seems to have gotten broken. I'd say it only works 30-40% of the time, where it used to be 90-95%. Even when it does detect the hotword, it will frequently fail to do anything. It will make the sound acknowledging that it is listening, but nothing will come up on the screen.
I've attempted to retrain/delete the voice model, tried reflashing the stock image. I'm trying to determine if it's something specific to my phone, or if this is a wider issue with the current build of Android. Based on how it fails to do anything, I'm suspecting this is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
I'm down for any suggestions. This is a feature I use a ton, and would love to get it working again.
On a side note, I used to be able to long press the phone button on my wired headphones to activate the okay Google feature, but around the same time this stopped working, I lost the ability to do that. Anyone know why?

ok google when charging?

Am I the only oneplus 5 user who can not use ok google when the screen is off and charging? I have all the settings in the google app enabled however it never activates while charging and screen off. It works perfectly fine but never when the screen is off even if it is charging. Can someone please test it out and get back to me! thanks in advanced
Doesn't work for me either but as far as I understand it's meant for unlocking the phone from the lockscreen and not to wake the phone up
No I know for a fact if your phone is pluuged in and screen off it should wake the screen. Thats how it worked on my oneplus 2 , i have also tried it on a lg g4 and many phones.
My Nexus 6p woke up and GA activated upon my saying of Ok Google. Now this does not happen for me as well, I am displeased.
it use to work on my oneplus 2 i dont understand why it doesnt now
I tried changing my Galaxy s7 to a Pixel XL in build.prop and voila it worked again but after a few minutes Google deactivated it remotely because somehow they detected my phone isn't a Pixel.
So I am pretty sure they deactivated the wake up feature for all phones except the Pixel which makes me mad because it worked for a few weeks on my s7.
Is there anyone out there with a non-google phone who can use this feature?

Most of the people at the Note 8 forum are using this feature perfectly, though there are still some who are struggling, like ALL OP5 users

Here's a solution (a.k.a Hack) that I've employed that has worked very well for me for months now.
See this post for "OK Google, with screen off while charging".
