'Hey Google' activation! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey Guys!
I'm having thia weird problem and I don't think or have found any solution for this trouble. It's been around 6 months that Google has pushed the "Hey Google" toggle for smart phones.
Sadly, I haven't received this yet. I'm still on "Ok Google".
It's pretty weird because I have tried everything. I've set the default language to English US. I've tried being on Beta version of the Google app and as of today I've received new voices from Google which I think is the latest feature.
Can someone please help me with this as it sounds so weird to say "Ok Google" and have all the other latest options.
Pour in your suggestions please.

Strange, have you tried wiping the data from Google Now? If you don't know how, open your Settings app, then look for App or Applications, you'll probably need to swipe over to "All" (you'll most likely start on "Downloaded"), then find "Google Search", click on it, then click "Clear Data", click "Force Stop" to make sure it's killed, then reopen Google Now and see if it still has the issue.
google search spoken results still cutting off
Tried that didn't work. All other assistant type apparently work fine.
same problem
I also have the same problem. I have a brand new Blu Advance 4.0 with Android 4.2.2. It seems like it actually cuts out one or two seconds before the response is complete, rather than one second after it starts. Ask google "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?". Mine stops during the response at the word "foot". With a shorter response mine stops much sooner. I can't find any solutions.
I have the same problem. Is there any fix ? Android 4.2.2 too.
I'm having the same problem on my LG G2 (D801). Also happens in Google maps navigation. Maybe it's a TTS engine problem?

same problem here, any issue? I have try to change TTS engine but nothing change.
Same problem here. Hope they get this fixed soon.
Ok. Fixed it. Uninstalled updates to google search and went to factory version. Works like a charm now. :good:
BTW it's the August 12th update to Google Search that's causing the problem. I've been able to duplicate the issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4. android 4.4.2. Hope this helps.
restoring google-now voice
I had the same problem as this poster. Sometimes the google voice cut itself off in mid word and a message appeared saying "command cancelled please try again". It even happened when I said "ok google what time is it?" I found something that corrects it. I went into settings:apps:google App and told it to force stop. Then when I invoked "OK GOogle" the voice responded normally. I don't expect this to work permanently. The problem seems to reappear after a while.
This is a motorola MotoG 2nd generation running Lollipop.

[Q] "ok google" from any screen - phone doesn't listen

Hello,
I'm trying to activate the "ok google" hotword from all screens. When doing it, a screen appears and asks to say "ok google" 3 times so that it can learn my voice. However, it doesn't work. It doesn't hear me no matter how I speak and never managed to pass more than 1 out of the 3 required recordings.
I should note that when I say "ok google" in google now, it works perfectly so this cannot be a problem with the microphone.
Anybody saw something similar?
It only works when google now is open
You can use google now laucher which alows the hotword at any time i think
Also ive had no problems with it aside the way its designed instead of the way it work

If you change your language in Google Now to English US, it works.

It is on English US and still doesn't work.
I'm not a native speaker, but normally Google Now has no problem understanding me speaking English.
It is only in this screen that it doesn't respond.
I'm not sure then. If you are rooted, there is an Xposed module which forces this behaviour.

Google help says that "You can use “Ok Google” on any screen if you’re an English speaker in the United States".
Could it be that it doesn't work because I'm not in the US?
Can anybody (on Z2 or not) confirm that it works outside the US?

It works fine on mine. I'm not in the US. I chose English US, selected 'Hotword detection' and it worked.
Having the exact same problem, will not listen to me when it gets to that screen therefore am unable to use Okay Google from any screen. Shame but sure it will be updated. Xperia z2 tablet.

Had a brainwave just after I posted the previous reply, I inserted the headphones that come with the tablet, went to the activation screen said the magic words 3 times and it worked...also tested to see if it activates from any screen and it does! Hope this works for you too.

Why Google doenst speak to me?

Hi,
why doenst Google speak to me when i search something? On my other Phones Google speak to me, weather, time etc. but not so on the Note 4 Snapdragon.
I test some MIUI rom, 8.1.15 stable, 7.3.9, 7.3.16 but no google speak.
All settings are the same like my other phones.
The only time i hear google speaking is, when i say "Ok google" or tap the mic and say nothing. After i while, google asked my that she cant understand me.

Google Assistant - My Day (UK)

HI, Just recently got google assistant on my Nexus 6P 7.1.2 Beta in the UK but i have been unable to find any mention of this "My Day" Feature or any of the ways detailed within other google assistant overviews on changing news poviders etc...
If anything i appear to have a watered down version of google assistant... but it is definately assistant before you ask...
Anyone else in the UK having a similar experiance??
Cheers
JC
Have you got assistant with language set to English (UK)? From what I've seen its only been enabled for English (US).
Strange goings on...
Well, i did a few weeks ago and posted the result on another thread but reset my phone after a few issues and when i did set it all to UK English so i was back to Google now... Google assistant randomly appeared on Saturday to my joy and I've been playing with it, that's how i discovered the missing parts when i tried to customise it... On the back of the post i put on last night i tried a reset/reboot of my phone and Google now has returned... I have no idea why it appeared in the first place and i did confirm prior to the reset/restart that my language was English UK... Strange goings on... And frustrating...
For the life of me, I still can't get Assistant to enable! What gives?
