Hello,
I use to "OK Google" on my Nexus 5X and it worked even the screen's device was off. Assistant works fine but it seems it can't turn on me Redmi Note 7. Is it a "Nexus only" functionality ?
Thanks.
maybe, in the N7 the application itself tells you that it does not work with the phone locked with screen off
works for me in pixel experience rom for redmi note 7, i did have to set it back up for this lavendar device
Mine works perfectly though
It seems I had to activate "Voice Match" which I did. Actually this doesn't solve the problem.
I also use "Pixel Experience". Weird.
I haven't seen any phone waking up with screen off with Ok google except Nexus phone. Strange !
Could you please tell us @XeoNoX and @ahadrox what's your secret ?? rom & kernel you're using ? special setup ? additionnal mods ?

Mine is working fine, and I'm completely using my phone normally, no root, no twrp, bootloader locked. MIUI 10.3.9.0.PFGMIXM
there are 4 settings (maybe 5) you have to active, one somewhere in google now settings / assistant and another somewhere in system settings in the rom. and then u have to do the voice matching, and then the "always on display" or whatever they call it. Also make sure u have allowed all the correct permissions in the system settings such as microphone access, phone access, etc..
i assume u need the stock google apps or better installed as well unless you plan to manually install the packages. My phone unfortunately broke 2 weeks ago and i am awaiting a replacement part. Says it wont be here till November (international snail mail, im hoping it arrives faster), im currently using a really old phone in the meanwhile so i cant check.

My previous phone was a galaxy s6 (which I'm selling, hit me up if interested) and before that I had a nexus 5 and nexus 4. All of them allowed me to say "Ok Google" and give instructions and it would do things like set alarms or tell me the weather and so-forth. With my nexus 6p it requires that I unlock the phone with my pattern or fingerprint before it will do anything. Is there a setting I need to enable or is this a limitation of the phone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

If you enable trusted voice, it should alleviate your issue.
Thank you both.
Enabling trusted voice solved the issue. Kinda strange though, my wifes GS6 doesnt have it enabled and hers still works. I'm selling my gs6 and reset it a few days ago so I have no idea what mine was set to.
Either way, I appreciate your help. Thank you both.

On the sgs6 it is set through the Google now app itself since touchwiz is written to completely change the Android Interface. I believe something is unique between the google voice commands and touchwiz though because when the sgs6 first came out it was broken for a bit on that device. Also all the security features on Samsung are also handled mostly by touchwiz.
having this same issue. trusted voice is set up and was working fine but now whenever i use ok google for anything i have to enter my lock code as well. Ive tried retraining my trusted voice model a few times, tried deleting it and resetting it up as well but whatever i do now trusted voice isnt unlocking the phone.

Though it would be nice to consolidate any issues we have or potential bugs as well as possible solutions in one place.
Here is what I have found in a little over 24 hours.
1. Can't change lock screen wallpaper. Changes just won't take.
2. In settings>security>smart lock>trusted paces everytime I tap on "add a trusted place" I get a pop up stating "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped"
3. There apears to be no direct way to block numbers from the dialer or contacts like on my Nexus 6P

+1 , i try and i get that error message and bugs i have came across so far are the follow :
1- Camera Freezes and Stops Working. (Way to fix that is Reboot Device)
2- The Adding "Trusted Places " under Smart Lock. (same as you)
3- Can't Enable ZTE Apps when they are Disabled (ZTE Music/Video/My Voice and probably more), i disabled the Music app by mistake thinking it was the Google one and the ENABLE was grey out, hated i had to Factory Reset to get it back.

I'm using US Purchased one (Model: ZTE A2017U )
Got mine at Best Buy two days ago.
Got mine at Best Buy two days ago.
I haven't played with the camera, so comment on possible issues. Will do so this weekend.
I also just noticed my wallpaper doesn't scroll (it scrolls fine on my Nexus 6P and LG G5).
Weak cell signal.
May security patch
Weak low light camera.
I'm sure those can be fixed to some extent with a software update.

Haven't seen that issue around on the forums. You should also post this in the ZTE USA forums so that one of the mods can help you better.
This may not be the right place to ask but I figured with the amount of knowledge in this forum, I would have a better chance in solving my issue here than if I posted on the ZTE forum
I have an A2017U and run the MagicJack app but sometimes I notice that after I leave the phone set for a while I have to relaunch the app. I have gone in settings and disabled "Scheduled background wake-up" and "Allow deep sleep" which I assume shuts down programs when the phone in idle for a long time... lol I'm new to these settings ... came from an old Galaxy S3 still running KitKat lol. I still have issues with the app being seemingly shut down.
I don't have any apps that "clean/auto-close apps" such as a memory manager or things like that. It may be the MagicJack app itself crashing or something but I have never seen any messages and it seems fine unless the phone is idle for a while.
If anyone can think of something I can try .. or maybe an app that will make sure an app stays running all the time .. I'm all ears.
just a note... I'm not rooted. The phone is only a month old and I don't want to lose my warranty by unlocking the bootloader before I'm sure that the phone is going to continue to function properly and I'm pretty sure that the other method of rooting with the bootloader still locked doesn't allow updates and I want Nougat when comes out. If I am wrong about this let me know ... I would love to have this phone rooted... I miss some of the programs I used on my Galaxy.
Also .. This may be Marshmallow or the MJ app but on my Galaxy when I went to recent apps and cleared it the MJ app would start itself again but it doesn't on the Axon
(edit) discovered the lock icon so MJ doesn't get shut down when I select "clear all" in the recent apps
Thanks in advance for your time

Thanks for the reply but it seems that I'm missing something. I can't find Mi-Assistant on the Axon 7 and when i find it on google it gives me the install option but says no eligible devices available so it seems tat Mi-Assistant can't even be installed on the Axon 7
I don't have a ZTE phone, but I've got a similar problem to the OP's with the MagicJack app on various of my Android phones.
On my OLD phones that run ICS and such, the MJ app runs and runs and runs, and the MJ phone number is always active pretty much no matter what.
But on my newer Android 6 or better phones, the app is constantly dying any time after the screen is turned off...as in no app mini icon in the status bar and won't ring or accept incoming calls unless I then manually re-launch the app.
I've tried checking all the power conserve setting in the OS to ensure that the MJ app isn't being turned off by them, but that hasn't made any difference thus far. It's really annoying, and I have no idea what's causing it or how to keep the app alive.

It's normal that you don't have it lol, Mi-Assistant is only on the A2017 (luckily, because it is utter crap :silly: ).
I believe the problem is the app. From some version of Android (I think it was 5) the apps need to have a notification open all the time to actually not get closed. Maybe it hasn't been updated since long ago. What does it do?
My father had his noise-cancelling mic broken on a MotoG after a fall. The solution was to switch to speakerphone. I used an app called SoundAbout to monitor if there's a call going on, and it switches to speaker. But it needs to display a notification all the time. you can simply block it through the notif manager though
In my research it looks like Samsung has disabled okay google trusted voice. In other words, when I say okay google with the screen off nothing happens even though I have trusted voice on. It works fine on my 6p.
My question is has anyone ever found a workaround for this.
It really annoys me they are trying to force me to use svoice to have this Android feature.
Yes, if you go to the Apps - settings - Language & Input - Look under virtual keyboard, there will be a little sprocket. You can click on that and tell it to allow 'ok google' only on the main screen, on any screen or anytime even when the phone is locked it will use your voice to unlock it. ,
I believe that if the screen is off, it must be charging so that is not wasting the battery listening for the command.

It seems like that (may be?) true for the Exynos chip. The SnapDragon chip has the hardware built in (and activated) to 'always listen'. The SnapDragon 810 and later has this, and this phone should be able to do it.
This guy figured it out (somehow or other) - has to be the SnapDragon version, I believe, because it's on Sprint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zysh2GwYp9U
I have a european S7 (Exynos). I can wake the Phone with S-Voice by saying "Hello Galaxy" also when not charging.
A few weeks ago this also worked (only when charging) by saying "Ok Google", but this doesnt work anymore. I dont know whats the reason. I also dont have an option in the input settings where i can tell the phone when to listen to my voice. Does anyone know how to fix this with google?
I'm in the same boat as the previous comment. I was able to unlock the phone saying OK Google when the phone was plugged into Power. all settings are on for OK Google. Verizon Note 5 latest up-to-date firmware
The newer Google app updates have broken this feature. If you uninstall all updates of the Google app the original one works just fine with the screen off.
Hi all, hopefully this has not been discussed. I searched but from the xda app search isn't so great...
Anyway wondering if anyone is having issues with trusted voice. I noticed okay Google was only working when phone was authenticated. And not from secured lock screen. Figured trusted voice was disabled, so I checked and it's just not there. (See image). I'm on 4.5.8 stock not rooted. I have tried clearing data on Google app.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks!
I wanted to use Google Assistant so had to use the beta versions of Google app and services. My Smart Lock screen is showing Trusted Voice, Trusted Face, On body, Trusted places, Trusted devices. With that being stated Google Assistant has never worked from my the lock screen which requires Trusted Voice to be enabled. Of course it's enabled on my OP5 but still doesn't work, which is a real pain in the butt.
Current versions:
Google v7.9.18.21.amd64
Google Play Services v11.5.20
I running OOS v4.5.8 with an unlocked bootloader and rooted (SuperSU). Recently I changed from stock to the Franco Kernel but Trusted voice has been available on my OP5 since I first got this device. My replacement of the stock kernel made no difference in this case.

That's dumb! Have you tried toggling Smart lock in the trust agents of the security menu?
Also I noticed you're in Canada (eh?), mind if I ask which language you run as primary on your device? English US, Canada?
I started on English US as google assistant wouldnt fire up with Canada, but since then, I'm back to English Canada. Assistant still works, but as mentioned only when phone is unlocked.

I'd read that others (UK) switched back to their native language after getting Google Assistant working and all was well. I've left it as US as primary with Canada as a second as it simply doesn't effect me. I like spelling colour as "color" which always made more sense to me.
My real reason for not switching back is that I've done a lot of home automation scripting with Google Assistant/Tasker's Voice Assist/Termux to automate my audio/video equipment and associated lighting. As far as I'm concerned Google Assistant may be in beta for built in functionality but is alpha for any third party integration. Every Google app update seems to break something while fixing other functionality (e.g. macros).
I like the automation I've created enough that I have little interest in rocking the boat at the moment. I had previously retested Trusted voice and the lock screen after updates and will again until it works. Right now I'm using a work around with an app called Caffeine (disables the lock screen timeout when charging) and Screen off (only turns the screen off but does not trigger the lock screen).
Also I may have tried toggling Trusted agents as I did so many tests and retests while working on Google Assistant functionality, I just can't remember.
I think there is something very broken with Smart Lock on this phone's stock OS.... I set up my cars BT as trusted device.... still i need to Authenticate with finger/pattern. Coming from a 6P where this all worked seamlessly it's frustrating.
My assisstant works from lock screen with "OK Google".
Stock 4.5.8 with root.
I boot into TWRP instead of flashing the recovery. Still have stock recovery.
Use Magisk v13.3 with Magisk Manager 5.1.1.
Have English (US) as my primary language with English (Australia) as my 2nd.

By the way how do you pull off the trick of "boot into TWRP"? I've never read about how to do that. Also what does it buy you other than maybe the GA working on the lock screen?

Just get your phone plugged into your PC and from bootloader you type "fastboot boot recovery <twrp file name>.img
It will just boot from that image instead of writing it to flash

Interesting trick, thanks for the info.
Unfortunately I could not use it as I had to borrow a relatives Win10 PC just to flash TWRP in the first place as I couldn't get around that fastboot file size error multiple people experienced no matter which USB ports (v2 or v3) or adb versions I tried. Going to another computer (same model of motherboard) and TWRP was flashed in a second.

No worries, I've never actually used that trick as I can always think of a good reason to just have TWRP installed. But times are weird right now, I'm still 100% stock on this phone aside from oem unlock toggle being set. This is the longest I've gone on a fully stock setup. Aside from this Smart Lock/Trusted Voice issue everything is perfect on the OS.
Okay so this is weird. I can't believe i didn't try this test. I can yell "okay google" until the cows come home while the screen is off. it wont light up or unlock. However if i wake the screen THEN say okay google, my phone unlocks and assistant begins working. Is this the same for others who claim "everything is working fine for me"?

I'm on stock oos & I'm using Blu kernel & Blu twrp. Blu kernel was so good on the op3T that OnePlus sent him a free op5 last week. I really like the Blu kernel, so much I switched from RR to oos for the first time. OK Google is working to unlock my phone btw.

Well fancy that. I just did your test, locked screen with power button, with screen off there's no reaction to "OK Google". I then double tap the screen and the lock screen displays. Now "OK Google" unlocks the phone and Google Assistant is fully functional.
Kind of feels like a sprinter that falls inches before the finish line. What the heck Google or OnePlus? I wonder if custom ROMs have the same issue?
Thanks for noticing this phenomena and posting about it.
