ok google when charging? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Am I the only oneplus 5 user who can not use ok google when the screen is off and charging? I have all the settings in the google app enabled however it never activates while charging and screen off. It works perfectly fine but never when the screen is off even if it is charging. Can someone please test it out and get back to me! thanks in advanced

Doesn't work for me either but as far as I understand it's meant for unlocking the phone from the lockscreen and not to wake the phone up

No I know for a fact if your phone is pluuged in and screen off it should wake the screen. Thats how it worked on my oneplus 2 , i have also tried it on a lg g4 and many phones.

My Nexus 6p woke up and GA activated upon my saying of Ok Google. Now this does not happen for me as well, I am displeased.

it use to work on my oneplus 2 i dont understand why it doesnt now

I tried changing my Galaxy s7 to a Pixel XL in build.prop and voila it worked again but after a few minutes Google deactivated it remotely because somehow they detected my phone isn't a Pixel.
So I am pretty sure they deactivated the wake up feature for all phones except the Pixel which makes me mad because it worked for a few weeks on my s7.
Is there anyone out there with a non-google phone who can use this feature?

Most of the people at the Note 8 forum are using this feature perfectly, though there are still some who are struggling, like ALL OP5 users

Here's a solution (a.k.a Hack) that I've employed that has worked very well for me for months now.
See this post for "OK Google, with screen off while charging".

"OK google" always on not working.

Hi everyone always received great answer here but still very new at this. My problem is with the Att galaxy note 4 (currently brand new and still stock). When using with all properly enabled "OK google" wake up command only works intermittetanly. Work fine all day yesterday....I wake up today and it is gone again. Works fine always if using google now launcher....but would rather it work with all launchers as they each have desired features. Any Ideas? Sorry if the subject has been brought tip before but I could not find it.

WhatsApp card notification

My Moto360 has started not displaying a card notification when receiving a message via WhatsApp. All other notifications are vibrating and switching on the display with card, but WhatsApp it just vibrates.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installting whatsapp, tried re-syncing the apps, but WhatsApp continues not to switch the screen on ... any ideas?
You haven't blocked whatsapp from showing notifications on your 360? Its easily done by accident. You might have swiped then clicked on block this app. If you go into your wear settings, then blocked apps, check to see whatsapp isnt there.

Nope, checked that .. nothing in the Blocked Apps. The phone vibrates, so it is getting the notification, but unlike all the other apps which vibrate and switch the screen on, this just vibrates. When I wake the screen, the notification is shown
Yeh, sorry, when I re-read your post I realised you couldn't have whatsapp in the blocked list if you are getting the vibration. #facepalm ?.
I had a similar issue with not receiving cards for my outlook work emails on a different device to my 360 a while back, it turned out to be an app I had used to set a custom vibration pattern for my outlook notifications. Im guessing that if you had a similar app installed you would have checked that.. also Im sure you would have tried a restart of your 360..
I think the problem is with your 360 as your phone is clearly pushing the notification to your 360 if you are getting the vibration. I know an app resync usually fixes most issues but as you've tried that what about a factory reset of your moto 360? I know its a bit drastic but I don't know what else to suggest.

Tried a reset as well ... the funny (annoying part), is that the screen on notification did work for a while, and then just suddenly stopped, withouth me installing anything, so not so sure it is an issue with the Moto 360, as all other notifications pop up ..... WhatsApp is the only one that does not
Yeh thats really odd. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion that can fix it. What version of the 360 do you have? Ive got the smaller mens 2015 version. I'm at the end of my tether with it tbh for other reasons. The lag on the the device is so bad for me its virtually unusable by the end of my working day. Im gonna sell it and get the watch urbane instead.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
I have the 1st Gen, and to be honest I am more than happy with it, even with the outdated processor in there, don't really get that much lag with it .... and taking it off charge at 7 in the morning, and putting back on around 10pm ... still gettng about 40%+ battery left.
Surprised the 2nd gen (2015) version that you are having lags with it, have heard it was supposed to be rock solid
What other issues you having?
I get "android wear has stopped working" at least twice a day. Which means it can crash without me knowing so i miss notifications and calls throughout the day. Thats my biggest gripe at the moment. Then the lag progressively gets worse throughout the day, the only way i can fix it is to do a reboot but at its worst it can take 2-3 minutes for me to get into settings then another few minutes for each option in settings to load before i can choose restart device. I tried a factory restore last night but its already crashed 3 times today..
When i compare it to my other smart watch my 360 doesn't have that 60fps smoothness when navigating the interface. I did read that if you disable ambient then the lag isnt so bad but i like having ambient on.
I'm planning on making a YouTube video of how bad it is over weekend.

I initially had the android wear stopping issue with mine, what I tried was a reset of the watch, removed all pairing with the phone, and then installed an older version of Android Wear .. think it was 1.1 (do a search on google, you will find a load of links). Then reset my watch up to the phone .... but .... tried running on Android Wear 1.1 for a few days, and it was stable. I then upgraded the Android Wear 1.4 through the Play Store (make sure to disable auto update, whilst testing, otherwise off it will go), and mine has been rock solid

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try out your suggestion now. Need my watch working, I've come to really rely on my watch for notifications as I can't have my phone on during working hours. It got so bad today with the lag and crashes I had to use my Razer Nabu instead of my Moto360.
Fingers crossed, I'll let you know how it goes [emoji106]

The 2nd Gen really should not be that bad, as said, I have the 1st Gen and to be honest, hardly any lag, so hope this workaround works for you

As the moto 360 2015 doesn't have a cable, its wireless charging only, how would you reflash a previous version of wear? Im kinda stumped lol
Last night I did another factory reset and i uninstalled a lot of apps that i didn't want running on my moto. Some apps seem to have a companion wear app for their mobile equivalent that automatically install.. Well ive taken a lot of crap off and i have seemed to have fixed the stability issue. Also i can use my device albeit with a small amount of lag. This i can live with for now, it seems that moto knows about "always on" causing lag on some devices. I'll hold out for an update to fix it [emoji106] [emoji3]
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Ah, should have said .. it is not Android Wear on the watch, but the companion android wear on the phone that I installed an older version. Don't believe you can actually change the version on the actual watch
I have ambient mode off, wifi off (dont really see the point) and tilt to wake off ... as it kept coming on when I changed gear in the car lol
install quick for wear
i know it's an old thread, but i still have the problem in android wear 2.0.
whatsapp notifications are extremely unreliable. it's like the developers do every single thing their own way.
i set my watch to show notifications until i swipe it away or down, the very few times whatsapp actually shows the notification it goes away after a few seconds.
the notifications do work, as i can manually swipe to the notifications and they're there. they just refuse to show automatically.
i'm not a heavy user, so i get few notifications of which most of them are from whatsapp. so my watch functions more like a normal watch.
Whattsapp issues wear 2.0
I too get a buzz but no card till I manually swipe up anyone managed to fix this whattsapp support are useless auto gen email each time

Finger print verification issue

On my Redmi 3s the finger print use to log in works on paypal but not in Ebay and on my banking app. It works on iPhone and on nokia 6. I have tried it on Redmi 3s global stable and global developer rom but nothing changed. the banking app developers have taken feedback but I don't think they can do anything as the app shows "tap fingerprint (icon) to use fingerprint log in" and after tapping I get unable to login with fingerprint use password instead error popup.
is there any fix to it Xiaomi forum and bug report since the app introduced the feature couldn't help.
Can you unlock your phone with your fingerprint? What about app lock? Does your fingerprint work for app lock and other functions of the phone?
Yes the fingerprint works fine elsewhere it is just the 2 apps that I have the problem with. On the ebay app the popup asks to place finger on the scanner, when done nothing happens and I have to go back and sign it. On the bank app the pop up says tap fingerprint to use that method to sign in and when I tap screen I get another popup saying fingerprint option is not available use password instead. The 2 apps work fine on the Nokia 6 and iPhone. This eliminates apps being wrongly coded as they have the same path to sign in on the nokia 6( I think atleast the apps are not at fault) what could be the cause and how to work it out. I have tried it on the MIUI global stable versions the last 3 including the current one have the same problem and the global developer rom last 3 have the same issue.
Hmm.. These 2 apps work on the Nokia 6 and iPhone, therefore they should work on the MIUI too? The Nokia 6 is running Android I believe but the iPhone is running iOS. I don't think including the iPhone is a good comparison. Also, in the absence of a comparison with orher phones, have you investigated whether owners of other brand Android phones have experienced similar issues?
Also, everything else works with your fingerprint except these 2 apps yet you think the fingerprint sensor is at fault? Does that sound reasonable?
Based on the above, I am not convinced that it's the fingerprint sensor or MIUI's fault as you seem to make out.

I never said fingerprint is at fault. I am asking how do I fix it. comparing it with other phone like Nokia running android maybe there is something in the MIUI version of the OS that is bothering these 2 apps. and hence the queries.
I really can't say. However, have you compared it with other Android phones except the Nokia? How does it work with, say, this or that Samsung or LG phone. Have you searched the internet? Isn't a comparison based on just one phone kinda sparse?
It's a software issue, I also can't for the longest time use my fingerprints for PayPal login, I tap it and it says fingerprint verified and then just stays on that screen until I quit the app

[Discussion] What are your problems with the 5T?

I have had this phone for more than 4 months now, and I have 2 problems with it (both software), which OnePlus failed to fix over several updates, even though they are aware of these problems.
My first problem is the panorama mode. This phone makes just the worst panoramas. My hands are a little shaky, and the pictures that come out are completely unacceptable (even though it doesn't have ois) for a "flagship killer". I had a Nexus 5X before, which made almost always perfect panoramas with a much worse camera. I feel like the devs put the panorama mode in the camera just so that it has the feature, but didn't spend any time on the algorithm.
My second problem, which is the bigger one is about bluetooth. First of all, the phone had/has a weird bug where if you turn on the bluetooth then go to the bluetooth menu to choose which device you want to connect to (either by long pressing the bt icon in the notification bar or from the settings app), the ui would freeze and you have to wait a half-a-minute or so, for the ui manager to restart (in older versions of oos, the phone itself restarted). Now in 5.1.1 it doesn't do this as often as it used to, but it still happens. The second issue with bluetooth is connectivity. Sometimes when I have my headset turned on and I turn on bluetooth on the phone it connects right away (like it should) and I am happy.
Other times (most of the time actually) I have to manually select which device I want to connect to (bringing us back to freezing), and even then it still takes a couple tries for the phone to succesfully connect.
So these are my 2 issues with this phone, I hope they will get fixed soon. I feel like the dev team is always working on the next phone after release, and they don't spend anywhere near enough man-hours on released device support.
Other than these, I'm loving this device, it's fast, has great battery life and does everything well.
Do you have these bugs, do they bother you or do you have any other problems with the phone you would like to share?

Yes, I have, I clean installed 5.1.0. I read about both problems on the OnePlus forums, so I guess it's not just me. But I can try when I have some time to reinstall the phone. Btw, I am running oos 5.1.1 rooted, nothing else, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dont know about the panaroma mode but i face no issues like you mentioned regarding Bluetooth.
Try flashing an OOS based custom rom and see how that treats you.

The way the Alert Slider works and how we can't customize it to our needs. But I guess this is a problem with all OnePlus phones.

U tried this?

Things I am not comfortable with are
1). Notification dropdown works even on lock-screen.
2). you can power off the device from Lock-screen.
Both are security concerns as someone can turn wi-fi and data off or power down the device if found or stolen.

Always on "Ok-Google" hotword detection not working reliably

I have an Australian bought Pixel 4, build: QQ1B.200205.002, Security patch level 5 Feb 2020, stock factory firmware, not rooted. Bought it on the first week of release, so had it for a while now.
Since about a week ago my phone stopped responding to the "ok-google" hotword in sleep and locked modes. Restarting the phone temporarily fixes it, but it stops again after a while. Especially if I don’t use the phone for an hour or so.
It used to work quite reliably before. Voice match is enabled, also retrained the voice model but that didn’t help. Haven’t installed any new apps recently, nor recall changing any settings. I only have a handful of very popular 3rd party apps like Waze, Tunein, Skype, Outlook, Viber, Whatsapp a couple of banking apps etc., but no games or optimiser apps of any sort.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I had similar issue. I had to disable battery optimisation for the Google app. Seems to have cure it
Thanks for the reply, I tried changing battery optimizer settings for Google app, failing that I even did a factory reset. Still nothing. Looks like I’m not alone with this particular problem: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/27204195?hl=en
Check your case, small cutouts affected my microphones on my Galaxy Note8 two years ago.
Received the march update, but the problem still exists.

Pretty sure the case has nothing to do with it, because it used to work fine with the same case till a month ago, it works for a while soon after the phone is restarted, and there are many others experiencing the same problem as noted in the above google community thread.
