Hey guys, I'm trying to find a solution to get Google listening even with screen off, wondering if there are any build prop tweeks or suggestions to get it working. I like using LOS 14.1 and because Moto voice is pretty much useless, I'd like to get it working with Google.
Thanks

I really would to know it too... Moto Voice is not more necessary once Google Assistant is available and better... but, the feature that allow "call" the phone while screen off is essential for me...
I think if you enable the option "trusted voice" it would work. Settings > security > smart Lock > trusted voice

I found this tutorial and decided to make a video of it for you.It would work only with snapdragon 800 devices running Kitkat 4.4+ and rooted.This won't work otherwise at the moment.Make sure you update to the latest play services and Google search apps.

Has anyone tried getting en-UK to work with this mod at all? I heard its not supported officially but has anyone gave it a shot?

please may i know the rom you are using?
Yes it works
But sometimes when google search get killed you have tap it again to make this work.
Is there anyway to keep this alive?
Works like a charm! Does this "mod" bring a battery hit?

Open Google NowSearch for “OK Google everywhere”Click any link [may be unnecessary but I did it]Back out to Google NowGo to Settings>VoiceAudio History and Anywhere Detection should now be available as settings.

Using it now. Only works with English (US) as far as I can tell. Anyone knows if this thing uses the low power sensor processor portion of the snapdragon 800?
I don't seem to get an option for Debug in google search to enable those options. what went wrong?
Hi Guys,
Just now I found where is my problem with "ok google". The LG On-Screen-Phone notification system is somehow incompatible with the OK Google keyword detection.
To disable it, go to Settings > General > System > Accessibility > Services and disable the On-Screen-Phone notifications.
After the change of the open search everything worked. But I still had a problem with detection on the desktop. Here it turned out that only works with the Google search widget 4x1.
Already everything is perfect.

Most likely not. It just runs as a background app and keeps a wakelock when the phone is charging. To use the low power sensor of the SD800 it would require some deep kernel coding.
Sorted...didn't had the latest google search...installed the update from play store and voila the steps mentioned worked! Thanks

Mind sharing those widgets you have?
I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)
Ok, let's hope Google is on it

think about it...you're in your car, the screen times out and you want to make a call using voice recognition....so you have to unlock the screen and then use the voice recognition... sounds like a dangerous bug to me....serious liability IMHO

I know, but the N4 doesn't support the neccessary hardware for this feature. Only the N6 and N9 does.

when I initially set it up, IT DID WORK....but then after a few hours, days (dunno for sure) it stopped. voice recognition works from google now screen, or the home page fine. something not right somewhere...

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.
Happy new year!

Major issue
Just wondering if anyone has Google Everywhere enabled and could speak to how well it can be implemented on the XU.
I realize it won't be as good as phone with a dedicated mic and chip but is it usable on your phone?
Asking to help me decide in purchasing this phone.
Thank you for your time.
It works quite well for for me. Since my system language is German I had to set the default language to English (U.S.) and German as secondary. But now "OK Google" works everywhere, even on the lockscreen and with commands in both languages. Only when the device is in standby, it doesn't react. Listening to music while the display is off? It works...
The phone itself is a steal here in Germany. Compared to a Samsung Galaxy S5, the specs aren't so much different (the size is rather a personal preference than a pro or con). Nevertheless the Z Ultra costs half (222€).

For me it's not sensitive enough. My voice could be in a whisper and the Nexus 5 could still pick it up, but for the Xperia Z Ultra I have to raise my voice a bit or hold it closer to my face.
OK Google works from everywhere except for when the screen is off. You can enable it in Google Now under Settings > Voice > "OK Google" Detection > From Any Screen
Works great for me
It seems to work everywhere, my only bicker is I wish I could hold a conversation with it only because it gets compared to siri. So I chose to go with my assistant from the play store best app ever.

No, that's a feature of Google Search for all KitKat and up phones. It will always listen while charging if you have "Ok Google" detection from lock screen checked.

Hey guys!!
Just got my S6 Edge and loving everything about it so far except...
My Ok Google anywhere isn't working. It's not even presenting me an option to turn it on. Also "enable audio history" option is missing which I know is necessary to get it all working.
I have done a factory reset, enabled and disabled S Voice, primary language English US, and deleted app data etc! I am running a stock Telus Samsunf S edge. I don't know if it's firmware dependent or not.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I'm all ears!!
Thanks in advance!

Looks like they removed it I had it yesterday now it's gone there was a update last night
Ah, that's a shame. At least I'm not the only one!!
Hope they come to their senses and come out with an update to enable it again!
Yep was there yesterday and gone now.
Perhaps it was sucking too much battery? Can't say I really used it that much but it was a cool feature. Will just have to press and hold home button to use it! A bit of a pain!
Found a work around for now...
Using an app called "Now Gesture Tweaks" which allows me to press and hold the home button to activate Voice Search and Nova Launcher gesture "Swipe Up" for Google.
Gives us a similar effect.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
Don't you guys have "google settings" in your app drawer? All "OK Google" settings are right there.
EDIT: My bad.. deep down to the detection settings, it is gone!! How!? So is this Samsung's fault or Google's fault?
Yup. It's global and it's just all the variants of the S6 & S6 Edge. Some Nexus devices seem to be broken but still have their options.

I used it on a regular daily basis. Very frustrating for them to pull it without notice...
What is even more frustrating is that neither Google or Samsung is taking the heat for this,,,both are referring us to each other LOL,,,classic tactic.

Unfortunately same, not working.
It doesn't work on my Note 2, my wife's S3, and even my coworker's Walmart Alcatel phone alll running Kitkat and all did the latest update.
Its a bigger issue and Google doesn't seem to be too concerned
I got an update yesterday and it is working now, well at least from the homescreen.
Sprint S6 Edge w/Nova Launcher, OK Google works from any screen.
Does the widget need to be on the home screen for it to work
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Not for me
Wow, just realized I don't need the widget at all for hotword to work. Cool
supposedly the 5.1.1 update will bring the OK Google functionality back.
Is your S-Voice App activated? Or did you disable that? I've read that either having it on or off might enable OK GOOGLE from any screen to work.

But, the google assistant is not responding to any question.... it just shows 3 dots (as typing) but does not give results. is there a way to get it to work ?
Thank you !!

I used smart unlock with my pebble to make my phone always unlocked. And then I use tasker to swap ok emy to ok google.
I set a quick "go to home" action and then launch google assistant. It works everytime when I wake up my phone with ok emy, but Huawei is **** at detecting ok emy (needs to shout 4-5 times before it could wake up....)

How do you detect Ok Emy? It used to be detecting the title of the window which is "Sound Trigger" but it doesn't seem to work with Mate 10?

Thanks, Shady282! I am actually using the free Automate app but it should work the same. It isn't detecting the "sound trigger" in the title of the window.
Seems like I need to detect "Place*" instead according to this thread in the Automate forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!s...t:date/automate-user/QD1LX2px33I/UFaq398BBAAJ

The automate is able to detect text on the screen. For the keywords, you can use "*Place a call or find your phone“
I initially used the automate but later on turned to Tasker because it is faster and potentially consume less battery.
