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.

Has anyone tried the one-handed mode where it shrinks the whole screen down?
(I think) I have the setting enabled correctly, but that double swipe just doesn't do anything...
That was one of the features that sold me on this thing.
Did you enable system wide one handed mode. Its supposed to be a left to right swipe from the reviews I watched.

Yep, that's enabled.
And I've seen the videos as well - it's just not working like that...

Gotta Swipe the end of the screen

I have tried every kind of swipe, and watch a few youtube videos demoing this feature. My settings are turned on, but nothing happens.
It's a bit temperamental, but does work.

I finally got mine working. I'm not quite sure how... but it's working.
It may have been related to the TalkBack issue I was having where the browser would not shut up. I had turned off TalkBack in the App Manager, but the browser was still talking. Eventually I went back in there and turned TalkBack back on, then turned the TalkBack settings on under Accessibility.
After a few minutes of using the browser like that, I turned the TalkBack settings back off and the browser finally shut up. The weird part is that after doing this, the next time I tried the one-handed swipe, it actually worked.
????
Good luck to you other guys...
I may have figured this out now.
I was just setting up Light Flow and once I went to the Accessibility settings to turn it on, it forced TalkBack on also.
I think one-handed mode is one of the things that gets disabled when TalkBack turns on. At least that seems to be the case for me.
So if you have Accessibility services turned on, that's probably the cause. Hopefully Samsung will fix this nonsense, or at least somebody figures out a workaround...

That's it. I had a TweetView service active for my Galaxy Gear and it wouldn't allow the one handed operation to work.
Works fine for me no issues. I have no Gear and will never. Pebble maybe though.
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.
After a couple days of using my phone without a reboot I notice that it stops requiring unlock credentials such as my pin, iris or fingerprint. I will be able to swipe to unlock the phone and the security is completely removed.
Has anyone else noticed this? If I reboot the phone the security goes back to normal.
The only app I have that I think could cause this is BxAction to remap my bixby button to google now.
Under settings > security > smart lock there are options for keeping your phone unlocked in certain situations, e.g. in trusted places or when connected to a particular bluetooth, check to see if nothing is enabled there, and usually it locks after a reboot like you listed
Stupid question: have you enabled face recognition?
Did you set your screen lock to happen immediately or is it delayed?

Ok so I uninstalled bxactions to see if it was causing the problem. It appears it was not the culprit.
I currently have my phone setup to use iris, fingerprint and pin. It will work normally for approx one day.
Then all of a sudden it doesn't require my credentials to unlock. I have smart lock setup to not require credentials when connected to BT in my truck and when at the GPS location of my house. I'm currently sitting at work and it's swiping to unlock without reading my iris or fingerprint.
My lock delay is 5 seconds and auto when I press the lock button.
If I reset the phone it starts working normally again.
Now that I think about it I have a feeling its something to do with smart lock thinking I'm either still at home or that I'm still in my truck.
I'm having the same exact problem and I have the same exact setup as you! It started doing this a couple days ago. I have Smart Lock set to keep the phone unlocked when I'm at home (GPS coordinates) and when connected to bluetooth in my car. I got to school yesterday and noticed the phone wasn't requiring my irises or fingerprint anymore. I let it be for a little while to see if it would correct by itself and it didn't. I restarted the phone and that fixed it but it did it again this morning! It seems as though Smart Lock isn't registering I'm not at home or in my car. This is huge security flaw.

If others are having this issue then I agree as well this is a huge issue.
I just went home on my lunch break and the screen lock is still working normally. I connected to my truck when I was on my way home. I didnt pay attention if it was requiring any type of unlock when I was home.

Do you have On body detection turned on by chance? That may be your issue. Located in smart lock settings.

No the only smart lock options I have enabled are bt in my truck and GPS at home.

I don't have that setting checked either. Just bt for car and gps for house. Not a huge deal for me personally because I'm pretty much always around people I trust but this really is a huge security flaw if it is happening to a lot of people.
Are you looking at the screen when swiping the lock screen? The iris recognition is actually very fast and you only see the alignment screen if it cannot immediately read your iris.

No I purposely pointed it away from my face to test this.
I haven't had it happen since the day after creating this post. I wonder if some Samsung apps were updating over night and causing the issue.

Weird how they would be linked. I did notice that my fingure print gestures stopped working the other day too. I turned the setting off and back on and it started working.
After several days of the phone working properly when I traveled out of town, it is doing this again. I am at school, which is not a location I am using for trust locations, and the phone is staying unlocked. This is honestly pretty ridiculous and needs to be addressed. The only thing I can think is that I am connected to the same wifi network at my apartment (campus housing that is off campus) and while on campus. Maybe the phone is thinking I'm still in the same location since the wifi networks are the same?

I just tried this as my screen lock isn't currently not working.it didn't make a difference having gestures turned on or off. I tried turning wifi and GPS on and off as well. Only way to get it to work again is reboot.
Back when Oreo was in beta, I read reports of people finally being able to activate Google assistant while the screen is off. However, now that I have the official update, it still doesn't seem possible. And even more so, I can't even trigger GA to unlock my phone from the lock screen- Google's settings say it is blocked by my phone's administrator, something that was never an issue in Nougat.
Has anyone else noticed the same and/or gotten GA to work from a locked or turned off screen?
Hi. I didn't have any problems to unlock or activate my device with the google assistant on Oreo. But I had the same issues like you with Nougat.

Is there a setting to enable in Google settings that I'm not seeing? Did you need to disable Bixby or something?
Ahh dang! I got it working to turn my screen on, but I can't get it to unlock my screen. Looks like it is most likely due to my "Work Mode" profile for my job, it seems like Smart Lock itself is disabled.

On nougat I tried everything to unlock my phone with google assistant. It worked only 1 or 2 times and then Bixby or some other Samsungstuff dominated GA so the GA couldn't recognize my voice.
On Oreo it works fine. I have never activated Bixby Home and Bixby Voice after flashing and wiping my actual ROM.
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.)
