Hi everyone,
I want to use Tasker to wake up the phone by saying a some pharse, but not "Okay Google". Since Tasker can't turn on the display on the Nexus 4, I'm using the Secure Settings plugin. I know for a fact this plugin works because I managed to wake up the device by shaking it, just to try. Issuing the voice command is something else entirely.
For this I downloaded Autovoice, and set it to continuous listening. For some reason, it doesn't respond (even when the screen is on), unless I use Google now. By watching one of Armando Ferreira tutorials on Tasker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J259WzkO3-Y) I learned that by setting continuous on in Autovoice, you can issue voice commands without saying "Ok Google" but it doesn't work for me.
Any ideas why and what I can do?
Thanks.
It's possible that I just don't really understand how to do it - can anyone explain, or link to any tutorial?

Hi all,
Maybe I am missing something here, but doesn't the wake up command seem a little pointless, especially if you have a PIN code lock on?
What is the point of saying 'hey galaxy' to wake the phone up if you then have to press it anyway?
I was under the impressions when the phone was idle it was always able to be woken by saying 'hey galaxy' but this does not seem to be the case.
Secondly, I like how you can answer and reject calls with voice prompts also, which I thought would be great in the car, but you can't voice command options such as loud speak so becomes a bit pointless again.
Other than these gimmicky things I love the phone and moved from an iPhone 4.
Thoughts?
Can anyone add to this?

If your using the phone in car just put it in "drive" or "dock" mode so it never shuts off then you can use the voice control all the time
and if you ring someone via S-voice it automatically opens the call on speaker.
Hey guys, first post here.
Is there any way to get full voice control functionality for the Transformer Prime? Like, so I can say "power on" or something similar, and the tablet will turn on. Or even at the home screen, so I don't have to tap on the Google voice microphone to start the voice assistant. If there is I'd want to do it for my phone as well (Galaxy Ace 2).
Dunno if I've worded that quite correctly, searching the Web didn't give me anything so I may not be...
Just wondering if my experience matches others:
I have factory reset my device three times in an attempt to triage waking my device by voice. Using both S-Voice and "OK Google" configurations. This is what I have seen:
S-Voice is still touch and go. Seems to work when it wants and other times not. Confirmed that it does respond best if you do not launch -or- configure Google Now Voice Detection. Once you have activated Google Now, you have less likelihood of having S-Voice respond properly, let alone wake the device.
Google Now "OK Google" seems to work flawlessly as long as the device is in any one of the following states:
on a wireless charging pad
plugged in
screen on
This last configuration/reset S-VOICE was stable and responsive until I launch Google Now and configured Voice Detection. Even turning off Voice Detection, clearing cache, uninstalling did not restore S-VOICE to waking the device consistently. I chose to just press-on without S-VOICE and live with the configuration. Hoping for a future patch or fix.

Can't speak for s voice but Google now is only supposed to work when you have it charging or the screen on.
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
Google Now works perfectly fine to wake my device by voice on my Nexus 6 and OnePlus one.
I do believe it is the Snapdragon processor,... However, I know that SVoice works on he Exonose to wake,... So that tells me the device is listening.
I used S-Voice to wake the phone a few times. Sometimes it works very well and sometimes it doesn't. I use "Galaxy" as the wake up command and it works 50/50 depending on how I say it when the phone is off. So you can definitly wake the phone with s-voice. I actually like how they implemented s-voice in the s6 as an overlay.
If the phone is locked you don't even need to wait for S-Voice to activate. You can say for example "Galaxy...what time is it" and it will recognize "what time is it". If it does not recognize anything it will say that it's listening and you need to speak (again).
Google Now is supposed to only wake the phone on Nexus Devices. Google has not implemented it to work on all devices.
I can confirm that with activated google now s-voice does not work or only sometimes. I think only one app can listen all the time.
For this kind of situation "OK Google " is working fine for most of the phones.
I wanted to set up the off screen hot word recognition redirected from emy to google assistant using tasker as in the tutorial for the mate 9, but when i want to record wake up phase for huawei's voice control function it just won't do anything.
Anyone else having similar issues? How Could I solve this? Factory reset didn't help.
Hey. PLEASE, does anyone know of any way at all, to disable okay Google detection, only for when the screen is off?
I am using wear OS, have the Fossil Gen 5, the assistant access is brilliant, but Jebus Cripes, it is useless when literally every time I try to use it on my watch, both it and my phone respond. I still want it to work on my phone, but when it is in my hand, there is no detection on my watch while it is showing the AOD so it works fine that way round. But I can't believe there is no way to disable it on a phone while it's screen is off. I believe there used to be, but they got rid of it fairly recently.
Edit:
Also another viable option would be an app or something that simply mutes the mic when the screen is off. I see hundreds of mute mic apps in the play store. but, they're all apps you need to open and toggle the mic system wide until you turn it back on. I don't want to have to do that every single time I put my phone down and pick it up.
