I have a Galaxy Note 4 (T-mobile) running the latest firmware and it's on Android 6.0.1.
When I say "Ok Google" to my phone locked screen, it'd wake up, but then I'd get stuck on the Lock Screen. I'd have to manually unlock it (I use the Swipe Pattern Lock). That beats the purpose of operating Google Assistant in a hands-free manner, especially when I'm driving.
The "Trusted Voice" option is missing from my Google Assistant/Now settings. It's also missing from the Smart Lock settings. "Ok Google from any screen" is available and is turned on. I remember back then I used to have the "Trusted Voice" option, but maybe in the last few Google Now app versions, it's been removed? I'm not sure.
Same problem

I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S4, with the newest (kitkat) stock update, 4.4.2 . It is not rooted.
I use the pattern draw security to wake up from lock screen. I think it is important to have some such security, so that if one leaves one's phone somewhere by accident, someone else cannot pick it up and find out all kinds of personal and financial information.
Yet, when driving a car, it can be difficult (and unsafe) to draw the pattern, or even more so a pin or password, if one wants to make a phone call, navigate, etc For driving, it would be good to be able to unlock the screen with voice. (One could set an unusual wake-up command (no, not "Hi Galaxy" ), so that others would not be able to wake it up with voice. )
I would like to be able to open from the lockscreen with either the pattern OR voice, depending on the situation.
There is a post in a forum that shows how to do that: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...tooth-security-lock-screen-your-note-3-a.html
However, that post is in a forum for Galaxy Note 3.
I tried it on my S4. I turned off the pattern security, and set it to swipe. I followed all the listed steps. Except--one command I could not find on the S4 [Quote from forum post]: LONG PRESS Voice Wake-up to reveal the hidden command> √ "wake up in Secure Lock".[end quote]
I could not long press anything to get that hidden command "wake up in secure lock".
After following all the other steps, with no security, I could wake from the lock screen by voice command. But only with no security, with lock screen set to swipe (which is no security at all).
Once I re-enabled the pattern security (also tried it with PIN), I could not wake the phone by voice any more.
Does anyone know how to get this to work on the T-Mo Galaxy S4? I think it is important to have some security, but would like to be able to wake the phone up by voice while driving.
If it is not possible from the phone's own setup, is there an app one could install that would add that functionality?
One of the secure lockscreen settings is to unlock with voice and face recognition. I would never set that. For one thing, when driving, one would have to stare at the phone for face recognition, not safe. Also, I would not want to have to unlock the phone with my voice every time. For instance, in a quiet place, I don/'t want to have to talk to my phone to unlock it. (And then everyone would hear what one's unlock command is!)
If totally impossible to do with the current update on the S4, is there a way to give suggestions to Samsung, to ask for that feature on the S4? (Which from that other forum post, certainly looks like it is possible on the Note 3.)
This capability would improve both highway safety and phone security. For people should not have to stare at their phone screen to draw a pattern or enter a PIN while driving. But if they therefore turn off lockscreen security entirely, they are compromising their phone security, inviting identity theft, etc. One should be able to have a secure lockscreen that one can open by drawing a pattern (or PIN or password, whichever one prefers) OR a user-set voice command. (In other words, have the lockscreen set to open either way.)
Thank you in advance for your input.
Now that the SD is being used again. Is OK google possible like it was on the note 4?
Settings --> System (tab) --> Language and Input --> Google voice typing --> "OK Google" detection
This will allow you to simply say "OK Google" from any screen - including the lock screen.
I did this n doesnt work still
Works on mine with screen locked.
I think he wants OK Google to work when the screen is off or when AOD is on. In that case this phone doesn't support that as far as I know.

im coming from the nexus 6 (ive already installed google launcher---- ok google would turn on the phone--awesome while driving because i can start a song on spotify. ive dug through the settings any im not seeing it--i read the s6 didnt have it at first?? this really sucks if i cant get it to turn on! help!
What what I can tell with my S6, the only time it listens for "Ok Google" is when the screen is on or when the power is connected.
My Galaxy Alpha too.
I couldn't wake up my phone with "OK Google"
It's not the same thing as Google but you can use S Voice. Some like it, some don't. Just sayin'
That feature is not available on samsung. you need to use S voice, which doesn't really compare... it's unfortunate with all samsung phones =(
my note 4 will will start and listen, but it always says I have to unlock the device first. for security reasons I understand. I wonder if there is a voice recolonization app.. hummm..
could be a million dollar app.. someone want to help me make it?

A few have tried. Open mic is one. You need access to the low power part of the soc to make it worth while which non of us have. Other wise battery life gets destroyed. Samsung just needs to give us the option to use s voice or Google.

Dang...it won't turn on even if the phone is plugged in
Yeah, that's my only grip with this phone. Previously using a xiaomi Mi Note Pro amd it worked also on my mercedes w205. Pressing the voice button on the steering wheel no longer launch ok google.
well there is the option to take off screen lock.. haha
Not available on this phone. An alternative is to create a Google Voice shortcut on the lock screen like stock Android.
You can use tasker to reroute s voice to Google search. But its slow and unreliable.
Settings --> System (tab) --> Language and Input --> Google voice typing --> "OK Google" detection
This will allow you to simply say "OK Google" from any screen - including the lock screen.

of course it's available, i've always used it via the Google app or Nova launcher... Works fine on my S7 Edge with both (Google or Nova launcher). It turns the screen ON and I can even unlock the phone just by saying "Ok Google" (option has to be enabled in the Google app)
If you turn keep screen on and go to Google settings and tick OK Google from any screen including the lock screen it works

Just thought you might all like to know my Galaxy S7 Edge wakes up ONLY by saying "Hey Galaxy" or even just saying "Galaxy". It won't wake up by saying "OK Google"
Noticed it works only when screen is on or... If it's off and on a wireless charger or plugged in....
Anyone rooted get the update? It's working on my wife's non-rooted mxpe, but my rooted phone didn't get anything yet.
I just got it on rooted stock mxp.
Not happy that it doesn't integrate with Moto Voice at all....And GA with screen off doesn't work despite setting in Google app saying it does.
Do you have moto voice on? I also don't have the option for ok google from any screen under the voice settings in the Google app and my wife's phone does. Weird.
How did you get the update? I for a security update this morning which is weird but I didn't think that was related.

It's all server side... You will know you have it by long-pressing the home button, if it pops up with Google Assistant you have it, if it doesn't then Google hasn't turned it on for you yet.

Does Assistant pop up running the Google now launcher for you? I have feeds on and currently a long press just goes to the left Google now screen.

Yes it does... In both Google Now and Nova Prime.
It does appear that the only way to wake the pure is to have moto voice enabled. When activating moto voice it only starts the classic google now interface, not google assistant. I've tried disabling moto voice -- if you do, you can't wake the device from sleep with just your voice. I'm going to follow this thread, maybe someone will find a way?
Using Tasker (and being rooted with Magisk), I was able to get "OK Google" (my custom phrase) waking Moto Voice, then immediately launching Google Assistant. However, it only seems to work right when the screen is already on. If I turn the screen off and say "OK Google", Moto Voice launches, but Tasker never launches the shell command to launch Google Assistant. Not sure what the problem is.
Profile
Event - App (Moto Voice)
Task - Run Shell (/sbin/su -c "input keyevent 219") - if you use SuperSU or something you can just check the Root box, and can just put "input keyevent 219)
I've tried adding delays to the profile, etc... but it almost seems like the Moto Voice screen that comes up when the screen is on is "Moto Voice", but when the screen is off it's not.
Seems like we'll need an update from Motorola to truly solve this.
Running LineageOS 02/13 build. Got Google Assistant working. But OK Google detection works only when on home screen (Nova Launcher). Also I have set the Home button long press action to 'Search Assistant'.
OK Google detection setting is actually greyed out in Google App. But it's somehow working.
P.S: I have opted for Google Beta in playstore.
Hey,
i have iris scanner and fingerprint enabled as security but when i turn on the display and say "ok google" it opens google assistant.
when you close it you end up on the homescreen, unlocked phone.
Can you guys replicate that? I am on the exynos s8.

This is a feature. You can disable by going to settings -> google -> search -> voice -> Trusted voice.
Turn off trusted voice.
