Hello.
Recently I've got a problem using Google search. When I use the vocal command (whether with the «microphone» button or with the « ok Google» functionality), the pop-up window vanishes instantly. When I try a second time, it works!
I tried a lot of things to get rid of that issue but in vain....
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Over the past week+, even before the latest update, Google Search has been acting wonky...
Note: I am often in an environment that isn't ideal for voice searches, so all my searching is initiated by tapping the search bar. I don't know if the problems that I am reporting occur with voice initiated searches...
Many times when I search no search results will come up... it will just sit there...
Clicking on images at the bottom always brings up results and then clicking back on web sometimes 'wakes up' search and produces search results.
Searching from within Chrome by typing a search on the URL bar always works and doesn't exhibit this problem...
What I have done to try to remedy it:
> Uninstalled Google Search updates and gone back to factory
> Force stopped three apps/services and cleared data: search, voice search and google services framework
> Removed and reinstalled my Google Account from the device
None of those steps fixed the problem...
Has anyone else experienced this?
Note: I am totally stock with an unlocked bootloader...
Thanks...

Others have talked about this including me. Look at the following thread and comment there.

Hi all, noob post.
I have a nexus 10. I occasionally used Google Talk to chat with friends.
At some point it was automatically updated to Google Hangout which I had never used yet since the update. I went to try it out and I open the program and it flashes up quickly and then minimizes. I try to open it again and it keeps doing the same thing.
I tried to unstall and reinstall but it appears you cannot do that with Hangout, I downloaded it again from teh Playstore but still same thing.
I searched but didnt find anything. Can anyone help? I am not so good on troubleshooting Android.
Thank you, longtime reader but first time poster!
Everything I tried to voice summon Google Now and tell it to launch an app, it will process my command and show a little loading icon. However, that's all it does and the app never launches.
Has this been a problem for anyone else? I've tried launching Pandora and calculator, both to no avail

Just tried it. No issue at all.
Just tried and launched my Calculator app with no problem.
To clarify, the problem seems to only happen when the screen is locked. So I Simon a locked device via voice, then say "launch calculator app." Half the time it will tell me "actually, I can't do that. To continue, please unlock your device," while other times it just gets sick on the loading icon. Keep in mind that I have trusted voice activated under my Google settings. I don't know why it's not working.
When the device is unlocked, everything works fine.

It worked for me at first as well, but now it isn't. Very strange indeed.
Anyone else having troubles? This is annoying because I like launching Pandora via voice when the phone is charging and I'm across the room

Yes have the same issue. Also the amount of time it gives you respond when using voice commands is horrible sometimes...
Try using OK Google to do a web search first and then as soon as it's done doing your search ask it to open an app. That works for me.

This works because the web search triggers the phone to unlock with your trusted voice first. It's a work around but not a solution to the problem.
And yeah the response time to the voice trigger is pretty crummy.
Anyone know how to get this problem reported to the appropriate people?

I'm in the same boat, 'Ok Google' is quite unreliable from the lock screen (even with Always On and Voice Smart Lock). More times than not, it fails to perform any of the requested actions. Interestingly, the workaround mentioned above does work. My HTC One M8 was able to accurately activate with screen off without a problem....
I am having the same problem with not being able to open apps from locked screen, how can we report this as an issue?
Hello all!
I am facing a very annoying issue:
For questions like "what's the weather?" Google Assistant/Google Now only shows the result without saying anything.
Similar behaviour when asking "drive me home": navigation starts without any announcement.
On the contrary, Google Assistant speaks/answers normally to phrases such as: "tell me a joke".
I've already tried any solution found on the Internet with no luck (check output, clear data, uninstall google search, etc.).
I'm pretty sure it's not account-related because I'm using the same account on a Nexus 5 without any problem.
anyone in a similar situation ?
Cheers,
Tony

yep. I went through all the settings, and no joy. had to quit, if anyone found something to workaround, would be great
Same here. I have this issue after the September update
+1
When I tell "Go home" to assistant it replies me with going home or similar and opens maps
Happy to hear I'm not alone ... so to speak..
I guess, we must wait for a bugfix, then...
Cheers,

Try to delet voice model in google setting ..voice ...and then again retrain voice model ....that solved problem for me
I'm also having this issue. I've tried installing text to speech data, changed speech output to on... And factory reset. Nothing works. If anyone found a solution, do update here. Not pleased with the phone ?
try deleting user data of google play services and google app
My MI5S is the same.

Done. Nothing new!
I also have the same problem, the assistant is giving audio feedback for a lot of queries and command.
Same here. Thanks for confirming that i am not the only one.
Might be the wrong thread to point it out but "ok google" by voice still gets triggered hence the detection is turned off. Is that normal? Can anyone else confirm this? I personally hate the feature, imagine your mic is always on just to catch those two words all the time. It's not the tin foil hat thing but the resource it uses for this feature ...
Cant reproduce it. I have it disabled on both on Google options and nova launcher

Same issue here but...
You can use the phrase 'tell me about my day' it will announce the weather.

LOL. This is called cheating!
Also I confirm the problem.i tried everything.
Me too
I have that problem too on my OnePlus 3T running AOSPA.
Before I had the same issue when I was running FreedomOS.
I'm pretty sure that the logcat in the following screenshots shows the reason for it.
Unfortunately I can't find anything useful about it using Google...
I also think that this problem occurs only/mostly on Chinese phones, because most of the rare Google results refer to Chinese phones.
Hi Guys!
I cant get the assistent to open any apps on my fossile gen 5 Carlyle.
When I ask it, it responds " opening app" but nothing happens.
Otherwise it works perfectley.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
