Hi there,
I got the G Watch yesterday.
When say "OK Google - How do I get home" while phone (Nexus 5) screen is turned on, it starts navigation smoothly.
But when the phone is in my pocket, displayis usually turned on. When now saying "OK Google - How do I get home" the watch waits some time and then displays the message "Check your phone".
Actually I would like to start navigation without having to take my phone off my pocket. Is it possible to get this done?
Cheers, Christian

Hi everyone. I was having my s3 I9300 (stock rom; never rooted before) for like 2 years & with no flaw. Two weeks ago, I noticed that after it gets really battery low, the screen starts flickering weird horizontal lines, but it never freezes and shuts off.
However, 2 days ago, I was downloading something using the stock browser (blue earth icon), soon after, i turned the wifi off only to find out that my downloading was still going (downloading some album from tusfile.com) then in a blink of an eye, the moment I immediately turned it back on, the screens starts showing "flickering movement (just horizontal lines)" then immediately freezed. I was waiting for like 50 minutes, then decided to remove the battery.
After putting it back, then turned it on, "flickering" then freezes, then shuts itself off (i repeated the cycle twice or thrice, but it keeps doing the same sh*t) . After 10 minutes without putting the battery, i put it back in, turned it on. But this time, as soon as it got turned on, i immediately locked the screen by pressing the power button once (i just turned the screen off just to make the screen black)
After 10 minutes, i decided to use it again & everything was fine. The moment i tried the app "screen filter" just to darken the screen up, then the whole sh*t started again. I will never use that app again.
After 10 minutes of removing the battery, switched to recovery mode (in that mode, That green android was seemed lying down, it says "no command", & with a big red exclamation mark, he seemed dead) then I wiped the "cache partition", then factory reseted it, turned it on & everything was okay.
Since my phone was factory reseted, I download some app (Google Keep) and that app wanted me to update "Google Play Service". I was updating it fine, after it reached 87%, the whole sh*t started again but this time, I TOTALLY CANT TURN THE SYSTEM ON AGAIN!, unless i clear the "cache partition", then turned it on again. I repeated the cycle again, then decided to stop rely on Google Play again.
Then whole same thing happened when i was using G mail. Then Google Play. Then Play Service.
Shall I root my phone? Flash it to "CM12.1?
Thank you very much.
It sounds stupid but this happened one time on my gear fit, just was connected to my PC with the ODIN program open doing nothing, and I was on my phone trying to install the gfm (because I can't pair my note 5 with the gear fit), and suddenly I saw something on the watch's screen and I couldn't believe I was on the menu, I wanted to active the bluetooth and make it visible but it wasn't responding the visible option so that's why I had to restared, so now I'm back again in the activation screen :crying:
I have 1 week trying to figure it out what could I did, but I give up. Someone can help me?

probably same method as others. press the name on the watch about 25-30 times. afterwards a message will pop up, wait until it disappears. press and hold the name again for a few seconds and it should get in.

No, but you can turn off media volume.
For the other issue: go to settings -> lock screen -> smart unlock -> voice match
Turn it off then on again and it should work.
If it doesn't, you need to go to the google app in the play store and hit delete. it will ask you if you want to factory reset the app since u cannot delete it. do it and then hit the three dots in the top right corner and disable auto update fot this app. This is because google recently updated google app and voice unlock doesn't work anymore with mate 10 pro (again)

Problem stays. i think i have to factory reset my mate 10 that it works.... but meh -.-
I also got the . 137,and now my AOD is a complete mess. The clock almost always displays wrong time. Last nite the display showed like 3:05am, while in fact it was like 4:50 (woke up had to pee :l).
With AoD on, my fingerprint reacts slower... I don't know how such a premium device cannot be sorted out in order for such a simple function such as AoD to work without problems. Seems that for some reason Huawei puts battery life above functionality.
Oh and I don't even want to go to the issue of scrolling widgets...
Maybe someone can help me, i updated last week my phone. to 137. (ota) i reseted my phone to get a fresh rom
about a hour ago i was in my car , and my radio dosnt show titels anymore and i cant forward tracks via radio. only on my phone.
My radio says "BT AUDIO" and its just playing. not more. .... that kinda sucks on the version before it was all okey.
Yes i delted car and phone bluetooth and reconnect. same issue.
updated to 137 too. battery same as before. little youtube, little gaming and some browsing and im on 55% with 4.10h sot.I did do a full upgrade trough " download full upgrade package" witch was 2.9gb if that materes
Hey guys,
any solutions ?
http://en.miui.com/thread-3921003-1-1.html
tried automate (tasker alt), autoinput, no luck!
this is especially important while driving! (keep everything nice & safe & hands free)
Really disappointing, they fixed 'OK Google' (though had to clear google app's data before is worked), but broke this, give me some creative solutions
Set face unlock as it's now available for all regions. Tap on the screen when the screen is off and it will unlock while you're driving without a need do do anything else. Not sure if that's what you meant but hope it helps.
Apparently not for Israel, anyway when I switched the region to India and the option appeared, it still didn't work and said it could not recognize me.
At least saying OK Google not only works now but actually unlocks swipe lockscreen, and then the secure one gets unlocked by my amazfit stratos watch... so I guess I will just say OK Google every time I want to turn on the screen instead and well ... use it.
tl;dr: skip to end
Ok so an update / clarification...
up untill now... on miui 9.5...
I had 'automate' (like tasker), when connected to car's Bluetooth, and I would press volume down and up on my bluetooth media button on my steering wheel, turn on the screen, straight to the PIN entry screen, which would be auto unlocked via bluetooth by my amazfit watch, and then 'ok google' would be launched via shortcut (since saying the words didn't work anyway I figured it's way more convenient to have buttons... also because sometimes it doesn't hear / understand you through the noise, and you look like an idiot turning off music and ac and saying Ok Google multiple times ?)
also when I would connect to car's audio when I started the car... screen would be unlocked and spotify would open up and start playing without me touching anything.... now it's stuck at lockscreen untill I dismiss it
Anyay I figured out why Autoinput does not work... because I always use some 'device admin' app to lock the phone (fingerprint quick action \ dts widget \ all in one gestures)
when using the power button, autoinput works
I want my convenience back so what I ask from you:
can anyone report if this issue exists in the beta versions?!
thank you!
Hi,
I have an S9+ with Rogers in Canada, which was recently upgraded to Android pie. Ever Since I have not been able to use Google assistant when the phone is in sleep mode. Prior to the update, I was able to say "OK Google: set the timer for xxx minutes", when the phone was in sleep mode. But now it doesn't work anymore, other than vibrating. It still works on other screens, just not when the phone is asleep.
I called Samsung but they were useless telling me that I need to press the home button and that it has always been so and that nothing changed with Android Pie but that is BS.
Can other Pie users please verify, that OK Google works on your phone when it is in sleep mode and if anyone else has the same issue as I and if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Roli
Sleep mode? as in while screen is off? or another mode?

Yes. When the screen is locked.
My phone was like that at one point, I am on Pie now and I had to go into the settings and make sure it was set to work even when the screen was off. Took a minute to find, have you checked there?
Settings/Google/Search, Assistant and Voice/Voice/Voice Match
I have. The phone vibrates when the screen is off and I say "OK Google" but is the screen remains black until I press the home button.
I'm thinking now that perhaps it has something to do with security and not with Google Assistant. I'm going to check my security settings. Maybe there's something there.
Come to think of it, I've had that happen before, not now but some time ago. I never sound effects, never really tried, somehow it just seemed to resolve itself after a while I guess. Good luck and keep us posted, you might be right in that it has to do with some security setting or something.
This? Access with voice match?
There is also that one underneath that says 'unlock with voice match', for use if you have a screen lock set up I guess. Did you try that one as well?

I’m sure that’s the option the OP needs to use.
I think it's a common problem with Google assistant and potentially the same as the 'voice unlock paused' issue, I've seen people complaining about both on pixel forums as well as on here (if Google can't get it right with their own phone what hope do we have!!). There were a few steps around deleting the voice model and resetting the smart lock agent (see screenshot). I did this and retrained the voice model in absolute silence which seemed to work for a bit but has since stopped. Annoyingly it doesn't seem to take into account when I'm at home and the phone is unlocked with smart lock!

OK. Here is my screenshot of the settings that I have on my phone. Access and Unlock with Voice Match are turned on.
Let me reiterate. The phone is reacting to "OK Google" on every screen so the voice match is working.
The problem is that when when I am on the lock screen and I say "OK Google" the phone vibrates, acknowledging that it heard the prompt but it does nothing until I press the home button or power button.
Have a look at this video. (I distorted for privacy reasons the audio because my phone and tablet were reacting when I was playing back the video):

I have the S9+ on Rogers and thankfully, this feature continues to work flawlessly after the upgrade as I use it often in my daily work..It actually seems to be more responsive after the update.
It can be very frustrating when the feature randomly stops working but it is usually due to an update on Google's end that causes it as I can usually fix it by going through the voice setup steps after an update..
In extreme situations you may want to uninstall and then reinstall the Google app..
Had the same problem myself and fixed it, just go to app info for Google and clear the cache and clear data, worked a treat for me

I'm on an S9+ with Bell in Canada and I can still unlock my device with voice when it's sleeping even though it gave me a notice that I would no longer be able to.
For some reason I've lost the ability to voice control any of my smart devices through Google Home. Seems like a related but different problem.
That, the lack of pro video mode and the brutal battery life have really turned Pie into a nightmare for me..
Hope they release fixes for these issues or I'll have to look at flashing..
