Greetings.
I just got this phone recently and I'm still trying everything out.
I'm running stock 4.4.2 kitkat, the build is D80220H.
So now I'm tinkering with Google now and it's voice powered search.
When I press the microphone button it starts to listen to me and it works properly that way.
So first, my settings are:
Search language is set to English (US).
In VOICE settings, default language is set to English (US).
In Ok Google tab, " From the Google app" is set to ON, but it doesn't react when I say " Ok Google".
When I try to set " From any screen" to on, it asks me to say " Ok Google" 3 times but the microphone is off or something because it just doesn't hear me, it does not listen to me.
So basically, I can't control google now with my voice. How do I fix this?
Anyone..?
Tried deleting updates for "Google" app, disabled and then enabled. Nothing.
Still not hearing me when it is asking me to repeat ok google 3 times.
Seriously, no one ever encountered this on their G2?
Got the fix.
You need to disable On-Screen Phone in accessibility options.
Thanks to reddit user Muhh24 for this.
And whole r/lgg2 subreddit.
When using 'Ok Google' the device location icon comes on in the notification bar. Is this normal? I just don't see why Google needs to know my location whenever I activate Google Now.
Talking about the location icon that appears when you use maps and navigation.
It is in case you ask for directions, or for anything else that needs to know where you are. For example "where is the nearest .....".

Oh that makes sense.
Thanks.
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

ok I think I got it. I need to go to "OK google" detection
Will try if I can launch it from my car now.
Edit: also work from my car command button.
Press and hold home button.
Tap the "G"
Tap settings menu in top left corner
Tap settings
Tap voice
Set up voice recognition
Done.
It does work from all screens.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA Free mobile app
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....
ok i just switched to the V20 from moto X play edition. I loved the moto voice assistant, mostly because i could change the hotword. Is there something similar i can use on the V20
Google Now.
doesnt allow for hotword change

Go to the Google app.
In upper left corner tap three bar.
Menu opens
Then select voice option.
In the you can find the hot word.
yes i know of to do the "train my voice" but it doesnt allow to change the hotword. with moto i could instead of saying ok google i could say something else
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
