I use to be able to say "OK Google... Open Facebook" and it wouldn't require my fingerprint to unlock the screen and open the app. I have all the voice recognition option selected and no exchange accounts. Has anyone be able to fix this issue?
Also, it works for some google apps without requiring the screen to be unlocked but not the majority of apps.
Same here. OK Google screen off not working

I noticed that the car driving mode can be activated through setting the Google Locations->My Places->Car option. The Car profile get activated via Bluetooth, Wifi, or location. Driving mode is engaged, and you'll be greeted by the S Voice welcoming screen.
Does anyone know if we can take advantage of Google Locations, My Places services? I know there are other Apps out there like Tasker that does more than what one might need. Since this "Google Locations, My Places" is implemented by Google, it might be more battery friendly than 3rd party apps.
For the past two days I have been unable to use the google voice search. That is in google now or the little mic button on the top right of the homescreen search widget.
I've tried uninstalling all of the updates to the search app all the way back to the stock, preloaded app. doesnt work no matter what I do.
does anyone have any suggestions before I wipe my phone?
Thanks!
Before switching to the Note 4, I had read reviews indicating that with both this handset and the GS5, you could set the fingerprint scanner to act as the pin for Google Wallet. However, I can't seem to figure out how to enable this option. There doesn't seem to be anything in the Google Wallet settings.
The only way I've been able to accomplish this is with a workaround using the third-party FingerSecurity app. That works fine, but when I pay at terminals, a pin is still required for each transaction.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Since Google wallet really only requires your phone to be unlocked in order to make an NFC transaction, I imagine the most "apple pay" like method using your fingerprint to authenticate would involve turning off the pin on Google wallet and setting your phone to unlock using your fingerprint. Before setting your phone on a terminal, unlock using your fingerprint and the transaction will automatically approve similar to apple pay, except the fingerprint comes first instead of after. I haven't seen a way to unlock Google wallet yet using your fingerprint, but if you are already using it to unlock the phone, I'm not sure it would be necessary to use it a second time to then authorize a purchase.
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to solve, and was hoping you guys might have a solution: under voice settings in the google app, the ok google detection option is grayed out, and inaccessible. Also, apparently the ok google detection itself is disabled, and only works from the google now launcher. (the launcher i'm using right now is the leaked nexus one, flashed in recovery.) (I'm systemless rooted with stock nougat 90G build.) The voice trigger doesn't even work in the google app unless i have the google now launcher set as my default launcher.
Other relevant info:
-i've checked the app permissions for stuff like google play services, the google app, etc. they all have microphone access.
-if i go into my security settings (system), and try to set up smart lock with voice detection, the ok google detection of the app opens. from there, i was able to get a workaround and re-enable the "ok google" hotword from any screen, but interestingly enough, the trusted voice option is grayed out and inaccessible, while the option to have it enabled from the google app was still checked.
-this sort of solves my issue, but it's really only treating the symptoms of the problem, not the source/cause of the problem, as i'd really like to find out what's going on with the option being unavailable in the google app's settings.
-a reboot didn't fix the issue
Another question: when looking at the app info for the google app, and then under storage, it doesn't have a regular clear cache and storage like other apps do, but instead a manage storage option that deletes search history. if i clear this, does it only wipe my local data, or does it wipe my search history from my google account? I'd like to try wiping the app data to see if that fixes the issue, but i don't want anything cleared from my google account.
Hi!
Bought 2 Mi A1 Phones and on both Phones with different Google Accounts I cannot Turn of the "OK Google" keyword Response thingy in the Homescreen.
Any ideas?
Thx
Same to me. Not solution yet
google now can't use in China.
I got it.
When you disable that options, this only get disabled if you are in a third-party app. Not in Google apps or the desktop (google now)
Uninstall Google apk
you can install microphone blocker
