Google Now Mic issue

I flashed CLoudy 1.4 on my VZ980 a few days ago, and only today did I go the use Google Now and noticed the "Ok Google" hot word doesn't work. No problem, I tapped on the mic and get the familiar sound like the microphone starts to listen, but then it stops after 2-3 seconds and doesn't hear me at all.
SO I tried installing Open Mic+ to see if that works...and the hotword works flawlessly. With the screen off, I can say "Ok Google" and it turns on and changes to the google now interface and the mic button turns red as if listening and then turns off again.
There must be a check box or download I'm missing, but what? I've went thru the settings in google now and the hotword detection is on, setting all look correct.
I'm thinking it has to be a phone issue more than a ROM issue that is why I am asking here.

bump?

Wow, no one has this issue?

try the openmike+ threads

I had this happen too on the stock rom, but determined it was g2 xposed causing the issue. Once I disabled long press to launch voice search, this stupid bug stopped. Really annoying, I feel your pain.

OK Google very flakey

For some reason when I'm trying to use ok Google on any screen it is very spotty if it works or not. Occasionally it will work, but most of the time it just doesn't do anything. I have any screen turned on and I also have it turned on so that should detected when the screen is off. Very rarely do either of these work, & I have to go back to the home screen and hit the microphone for it to work. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried retraining a couple of times also.

Google App --> Settings --> Voice --> "OK Google" detection --> Retrain voice model

The service that does that apparently gets killed after a while, requiring a reboot. It's happened to me a bunch of times, for more than a year now, since the N6. It happens with other random stuff too. The N6 has a "safety" (according to a Moto rep at their forums) feature that rings the first 2 seconds or so of a phone call or alarm/timer at very low volume before it rings at full volume. Also for when you switch to speakerphone. Whatever service causes this behavior does get killed as well after a while, and the N6's alarms and rings sound off at full volume immediately, until after a reboot.

Honestly...Google Now has gotten so unreliable for me I've stopped using it. It used to be flawless...but I feel like the more they add to it the worse it gets. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Yes, the Nexus 5 was much more reliable.

"Ok google" sometimes refuses to respond > S8 & S8+ Any solutions?

First noticed this in Android Auto car mode app.
Occasionally it just wont respond to "OK google"
I can start my journey, make a call using "OK google"
This can work fine, but sometime it will just stop listening.
It seems to happen after a call was made. Its as if the Call app has not released the mic.
This doesn't always happen and seems inconstant. It can happen from any screen not just Android Auto.
My wife's S8+ behaves in the same way
Once it is ignoring the "OK google" command. you need to go into the google app and it will start working again
However it has on one occasion stopped working in the app. A reboot fixed that.
Anyone else having this trouble or have a theory or a solution for this?

I have been encountering the same issue as well.

Google Assistant not responding to "OK Google"

Hello, I have had my V20 for a couple of months now but seem to have an odd issue with Google Assistant responding to "Ok Google". Basically it does not respond unless the phone is a bout 10cm away from my mouth but when it does eventually respond and starts listening it picks up my voice flawlessly.
I have re-registered my voice multiple times.
Registered my voice from different distances
Wiped the google cache.
Tried it just the stock google launcher.
Excluded google enrolment from the optimised battery settings.
Had a search round XDA and cant find any other suggestions
General phone calls are working without issue.
Phone - H990ds
Software - V10f-TWN-XX
Build - NRD90M
So before I go and wipe the phone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi I've got the same issue have you found a solution yet.

Hi I have the same issue.
Have you always had this problem or is it a recent change?

MIC problem with Google assistant S8

Hello.
I have a problem that i can't get my head around.
Bixby voice recognition is working fine.
When i use google assistant "let me talk to Todoist" and it doesn't undrestand me, for 4th or 5th time, the bars in the middle (voice level) show that i am "constanly yelling", meaning that it is recording some loud voice and is not undrestanding me.
After this has happened recordings in voice recorder play a loud static noise.
Tried using both samsung and google voice-to-text engines.
Everything is fixed with a restart or making a phonecall.
S8
Oreo 8.0.0
SEB region
Yours truely,
Jax

Same issue here as well. Super annoying

I have the same issue.
I have the exact same issue as yours. Did you ever have any fix for it yet ?

I have the exact same problem.
Video recording with just white noise yesterday.
Never had the issue before.
And found out others had that problem related to the Google Assistant.
Force closing Google helps out for a while or until you run the Google Assistant again, then the problem is back

Same problem here. Force close Google app resolves it, but 4-5 voice commands later it's the same again. The assistant can't hear what I say. Google assistant is totally unusable on S8 for now, hoping for a fix. I'm investigating the problem but nothing works. If someone know about something we can do, please tell us here!

I have the exact same problem as well...

Happened to me as well. When I opened the Audi Recording app it recorded some disturbing loud white noise. Happened only once, I don't know what the hell it was

I have the exact same problem by using google assistant. Any solutions?
