OK Google seems very flakey

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.

Google Assistant keeps turning off.

I have got the Google assistant on my s7 edge SMG 935f and it keeps F***ING turning off, it's driving me nuts. It works for 2 minutes when I check if it's OK and when I need it it doesn't work, and if I look it's off like I have never turnt it on.
Any idea? I cleared all the cache and the data that could have been clear, I gave all permissions from all accounts, I did everything I could. It just doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Kind of same problem. I got it and then without doing any change, it reverts to google now. Same problem with my Nexus 5. I got assistant next 2 days after back to google now .. then it came back and now it is gone ..been 1 week now

Had this issue. Uninstall all updates to Google app from settings. Reboot. Go into play store and update Google app again. Reboot. Now once assistant comes up (might take a couple tries) settings will stick.

What language are you using?
I had the same problem. My assistant kept disabling on me. My phone language was in Dutch, that was the problem. When i changes my phone to English - US and then in the assistant i changed my language to system language it worked fine.

OK google

Has anyone gotten ok google to work outside of the app itself? I have it turned on, but it won't recognized my command outside of the app. I'm aware of the s voice issues in the past but this phone doesn't have S voice so I don't know what else could be interfering.

This is how it's always been for me. S7 edge and I've given up on it. :/

For me it works regardless of which application i'm in.
Google -> Settings -> Voice -> 'Ok Google' detection

You are correct on that. However if you say "OK Google" and then press the power button it unlocks and launches the assistant. So, yea rather weird...

I came from a Nexus 6p and used this all the time. And noticed instantly something was up when it never unlocked my phone. I ended up retraining my voice model a million times because of it.

My Google does searches without me saying ok google.
It's funny at work as I have conversations and suddenly my phone has found what was talking about.

I had to take my S8+ to Best Buy and have it re-flashed and it's working great. Finally.

Smart Location Trusted Places not working anymore

This worked perfectly out of the box but recently has stopped working. Not sure if it has to do with the QD9 update or maybe some other crap that installed. I can set the location fine and it clearly shows me inside the boundary but every time I get to the locks screen it still doesn't unlock automatically.
Anyone else have the same issue?

I've had the same issue on my last phone and now the S8 as well. From what I've heard it's a Google issue and they are supposedly working on a fix.

I'm noticing this issue too. A reboot fixes it, but annoying none the less.

The problem with Trusted Place is that it’s very spotty! It only works for a day or two then fails to unlock the device. I’ve set two different locations, one for home and another using the latitude and longitude location. Only way to get it working is to reboot the device. Regrettably, it only works for a day before reverting back to my lock screen method again.

this not related to the galaxy s8. even my nexuw 6p and pixel. had this problem. it works when u set it up the. it jist stoppwd working after a few days. a restart or setting it uo again does work but same issue will happen next oe a few days after. bluetooth trusted device works but location is a problem. related to nougat.

Yep can agree with everything said here seems to work sometimes then other times not...Also I can't believe that google won't allow your home wifi network to be used as a trusted device.
I t seems like a obvious choice to me to use your home wifi as a trusted device but hey what do I know.

Let's wait for an update
Same issues here in India also.

Google Play Services 11 fixes this issue. I'm on 11.0.55 and it works consistently every time.

I have 11.0.55 on my new S8+ and it doesn't work for me.

Mine suddenly started working today for no particular reason.
I hadn't changed any settings but when I came home it just unlocked.
Strange or what!

mine still isnt working, its infuriating as I wear glasses at work do I have to take my glasses to unlock.
Anyone else got location unlock working properly?

Note to future self
Note to future self :
found the solution on the Samsung community web site (cannot post links...).
us[dot]community[dot]samsung[dot]com/t5/Galaxy-S8-Questions-and-Answers/Smart-Lock-Not-Working-Reliably/td-p/103398
need to do a "Wipe Cache":
* Turn off phone
* Press Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press the Power key
* When the logo appears, release all keys
* Press the Volume down key several time to highlight "wipe cache partition"
* Press the Power key to restart phone
Another way that does not require to go into recovery mode but seems to fix the problem for shorter time :
* Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Services -> Delete cache
* Reboot
I've also added bunch of points in all corners around my house in the Trusted Places settings

Voice match / Ok Google doesn't work

Hello, can't seem to manage to activate voice match, everytime I try and activate, I record my voice, but the slider stays greyed out. Clicking it just restarts the recording process all over again. Mi 9t bought in France, french language and global miui 10.3.7 here. Tried no screen lock, clearing Google app cache, rebooting, to no avail... Anyone could point me in the right direction to solve the issue?

Same problem for me.

Uninstalled the updates on Google app and working for now, weird. Doesn't work from screen off though, but that might be a feature the phone can't handle?

I think the k20 series has the qualcomm wcd9340 audio chip..which looking at their website it says it has support for always listening wake up voice commands from when the phone is off..I wonder if roms could make this function work unlike xiaomi..

That also did the trick for me. Had similar problems on Asus Zenpad tab, so I doubt it it's a feature the phone can't handle... Or maybe can't handle yet.
Edit: Well, just updated the Google app and now everything is working - Voice Match turns on, stays on and working. Pretty sure this was a Google fix.

Thanks, that work for me too.

But does the assistant gets triggered when the screen is off?
And can you change the hotword to "hey Google" instead of crappy "okay Google"?

To me it works on lock screen but not on Always on screen. When phone is locked try press once power button and talk. To me works if always on not activated or when I press power button without unlocking

Worked for me but not anymore after update
It never worked for me until around maybe 1- 2 weeks ago. (I randomly checked it one Day and the option wasnt blocked anymore, it worked perfectly) but after the 11.0.2 system update it doesn't work anymore...
The option voice match is blocked again.
I can tell from the last replies on this post users were able to use it. Is it still the same case after the update ??
Sorry for **** english (not my first language)

I have the same problem, although I own redmi K20 pro Chinese version...

I had the same problem, the Voice match would start loading and never stopped. After trying all the available solutions found on the internet, I tried the most simple one. I simply changed the system and Assistant language to English (US), and it magically worked. The default language before that was English (UK).
So, maybe just try to switch it to US and then reboot the smartphone.
I have the Mi 9T Pro, EU version (MIUI 11.0.3.)
