"Ok Google" & PushBullet

So I downloaded the new Pushbullet update to take advantage of their new Notification Mirroring Service feature.... basically does the same as the Desktop Notification app. I did this so maybe I wouldnt have to use 2 apps on my phone that does the same service. The next day, I realized that the hotword detection feature (ok google) stopped working from the Homescreen and even in Google Now. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out why and i almost returned my N5 and somehow found my way to Accessibility settings and remembered that, enabling the new Pushbullet feature was the last major thing I did on my phone. I unchecked and disabled it and Boom, "Ok Google" works perfectly fine again.
So if anyone is having an issue with their hotword detection not working, check Pushbullet or any other accessibility settings.

I don't have PushBullet installed, but I also lost the "Ok Google" detection. I rebooted my phone and that brought it back. Something else to try if anyone runs into any issue.

Make sure that in Google Now settings> Voice> Language (Set it to English US)

Quick Pushbullet question to reduce forum clutter. Can you change the life time of the notification popups? Its a bit too quick to disappear. I am running the latest version of OSX. Haven't found applicable settings to change.

No I dont think so..... Desktop Notifications does give you the option to change how long the notification stays up.
I also just got an email from PushBullet about the issue I detailed at the top and they are working on a fix.

I had this same issue with the "Lockscreen Notification" app.

As of today's fix, this is no longer a problem. I' had been wondering "okay Google" had stopped working until I saw this post. But after this morning's update to Pushbullet, I can once again use "okay Google".

i use pushbullet as well. no problems with google's ok google for me. works fine..

What procedure did you follow? I installed it from the play store, and the notification appears. I'm talking about the Defy+ on CM11.
This is what the notification says - "Trebuchet is currently your default launcher. To try the Google Now Launcher, clear defaults in settings and press the home button". Only problem is that no default is set, so there is no way to try the launcher.

Even I installed from play store on Defy+ on CM11...
After installing, I pressed home button and selected it as default launcher...
Also u can change the default launcher under Settings>Personalisation>Home

i installed the application twice. and one time also faced such problem. i realized the reason in the order of installation "google now" and "google search". first must be installed "google search", and then "google now."

Go to 'Apps- Trebuchet Launcher' and clear its default. Install Google now launcher and Google app from play store. Then on pressing the home button, the system will ask you to choose a new launcher. I did this in CM 13.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?

I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.

You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

Google assistant long press home help

As of this morning, Google assistant is now working on my stock v20. I do need a little help though. Long pressing home button on home screen gets me the Google app. If I press it again after Google is open, Google assistant appears. If I'm on any other web page or app, long pressing home gets me Google assistant.
Is there any way to get it working consistently when pressing home button even when on home screen? I wasn't sure if clearing the app will solve it.
Thanks

I found out that changing the DPI affected whether Google Assistant would appear. I had mine set to 480 or lower. I found that the magic number to get it to pop up in the first place was a DIP higher than 480. Don't know if that's the case with you, but it fixed my woes.

Is this Google Assistant?

That's "now on tap". Contextual results based on what's on your screen.

Did you update to the latest play services and Google app? If not, go to all mirror. After a couple of hours it should happen. I am on T-Mobile if that helps

[Temporary Fix] Fix the Mic not working on OOS Pie on 3/3T

Hi there!
If you're here, I hope you're enjoying the newly released OxygenOS Pie Community Build on your OnePlus 3/3T
But, there's a serious bug which bothers a lot (me atleast)
Mic doesn't seem to work when earphones are connected in mostly all apps, except the Dialer app. Normal calling is fine, but Mic doesn't work in WhatsApp Calls, Sound Recorder app and in PUBG. I've So, I found a temporary fix for it.
I started checking all the apps which use the mic & then it striked my mind that it is Google Assistant which keeps listening at all times! So, it seems that in OOS Pie, there's an issue which causes Google Assistant to always occupy the mic. This shouldn't be the case in my opinion as there are a lot of people who use Google Assistant.
NOTE : It is still a BUG and needs to be fixed. This is only a temporary solution that I found while I was messing up with logs and stuff, to investigate this issue.
Steps:-
1. Open Google App.
2. Press 'More' on the bottom right, and then 'Settings'.

}
3. Press 'Voice', then 'Voice Match' and turn 'Access with Voice Match' off.
It seems there's some issue with the Google App or Google Play Services app that comes pre-installed with the ROM.
Before disabling this setting:-
After disabling it:-
This applies to the 'leaked' Closed Beta build as well as the new 'Community Build'.
Let me know if it fixed the issue for you!
