I can't seem to get Google assistant to work by saying 'ok google' am I missing something?
Also with Waze in Android auto I have green surround on street names etc when the car lights are on. Didn't have this on old phone. Anyone else?
One last one for now. Having troubles switching Bluetooth audio on the phone when connected to car. Switch to enable it doesn't switch on.

Anyone else experience this? I have had it on FM radio, Music player and Google Listen, they just randomly stop for no reason. I had a similar issue on a Desire S so might be a 2.3 issue
Yeah if you have motion turned on, the FM radio and other music functions will turn off when you turn the phone over. Simply go into Settings, choose Motion and make sure the option called Turn Over is unchecked if you don't like the feature. I personally don't like it myself as my phone moves around a lot while listening. If that function is not checked, then you may have a problem with your phone. My guess is that its turned on though. I turn off all motion as I find it may chew the battery a little more plus I never use any of the tilt or panning features
Just got the HTC one and ran into a bit of a snag.
I have my phone paired with my car stereo and while driving I went into Google Now and said "OK GOOGLE"
This seemed to work and the screen said "Tell Google what to do"
So I tried and nothing happened. Normally, the little microphone thing in the upper left hand corner flashes as it it listening to what you say, but when in my car, it does nothing.
If I unpair my phone from my car, it works perfectly.
It leads me to believe that the phone is wanting to listen to the commands through the bluetooth in my car, but not on the microphone on the phone..
When I had the S4, it worked great, so I am wondering if it's something to do with the fact that the HTC One is still on 4.1, or is it something wonky with HTC's modifications?
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Further more, if you try to use the speech recognition (microphone in the keyboard), it does not work either. Afetr turning bluetooth off, both of them work fine.
dont know if you guys have tried this, but if you go into google now settings, theres a section for voice. if you click on that, theres a place where you can enable bluetooth headset.
Hey All,
So, I've been searching all over for an answer to this, I've found a lot of information about S-Voice's problems being used over a bluetooth device but I haven't been able to find any direct discussion of the issue I'm experiencing.
What I've found is that when I have S-Voice's voice wake-up feature enabled, it'll work totally fine with bluetooth off. However, as soon as I toggle bluetooth on the wake-up feature just completely stops working. I don't even need to be connected to a device, as long as bluetooth is on S-Voice Wake-Up does not work. I can manually launch S-Voice and it will hear me just fine, but saying the wake-up command does nothing. As soon as I toggle bluetooth back off, it'll wake up again just fine. I do get that with a bluetooth device connected the microphone on the device needs to be active, so I could understand if this was happening while I was paired with a headset or something, but it seems really odd to me that just having bluetooth on at all would disable the wake-up command feature.
I did try Ok Google and found that it works whether bluetooth is on or off, but I really like the increased functionality that S-Voice offers and I think that for the most part the updates Samsung has done on it are great, so I'd like to get this working if possible.
Has anyone else experienced this, either on the Note 4 or on any of the other Galaxy devices? Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue with svoice, thought it was just the bluetooth in the car at first til I red your post
Widespread
I've got exactly the same problem.... Lovely new note 4 which is forcing me to use my hands on the phone whilst driving... Samsung need to think about this.
Apparently an issue for a few years due to Bluetooth /svoice conflicts, but not acceptable to leave it unaddressed.
I can still use my car system to skip music tracks on the phone, or dial numbers from the car stereo touch screen, but surely this is one of the most valuable areas for voice control?!
Bluetooth off then everything works fine, but Bluetooth on and svoice just fails. No wake up or voice recognition.
I don't use a headset, and the car doesn't have an inbuilt mic, so phone mic is used for calls (which is still fine incidentally.. Only svoice which is screwed.)
Looking forward to someone finding a simple solution to this, as I have spent hours in the menus trying to make a difference but Samsung might have just let us down I'm afraid... And if that's the case then I look forward to hearing them fix it, and update our ware to get everyone on track again.
Resolved and simple
After much fckin about I managed to get this sorted and the answer is simple..... You can't have both apps always trying to recognise the voice all the time.
Go to the settings for ok Google and voice detection then always on... Uncheck it and suddenly svoice is working again... On my way to the car for final checking now,but preliminary checking says all should be good.
Nope
Ok... It works until the system is fully connected.
As soon as the connection is made then the handset microphone switches off again.
Note 4 s voice is officially dangerous to Road users and Samsung are ultimately proving themselves irresponsible for creating a system which forces use of hand and eye coordination when in Bluetooth and car mode.... Seriously Samsung... Sort this sht out.
When driving, set to hands free mode, this allows use of svoice on bluetooth

Note 4 and above have it listed as car mode.
svoice works perfectly with blue tooth when car mode is enabled.
Set it up at home before you use it the first time.
Sorry if anyone has posted this before...
I have a problem and I've been trying to solve it but after months of frustration I have decided to try the experts here. Maybe I someone can help.
I don't know when this all started, but for some reason whenever I connect my phone to my car audio (stock system from Toyota) via Bluetooth I can't use Google voice commands. OK Google gets picked up but after that nothing gets recorded. Just Google waiting for me to say something. I tested SVoice and that works fine, so my only thought is that Samsung has done something.
When I disconnect, the problem persists until I turn Bluetooth off.
I have managed to get it working if I use Google to turn on Bluetooth, but then all phone called go to speaker on the phone. When I connect to Bluetooth to use the steering wheel controls, problem come back.
So, hope that was clear and thanks in advance for any help!
I have this little problem with my new Huawei.
(I have a Mate 10 Pro, couldn't find a section for that specific model)
Whenever I connect it to my car or Bluetooth headphones, the audio from my phone will randomly switch from my car speakers or my headphones to the phone speakers. The only way to get it outputting audio through the Bluetooth device again, is by reseting my Bluetooth connection. However, it does this every time and its driving me insane.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
Hello
Try to remove all bluetooth devices associated on your phone.
Then associate Bluetooth with your car
Do not try to associate other devices for the moment.
Then try to listen music from your car to speakers of your car
If it's ok, then associate other devices and try again to watch if all is allright
This is a known bug that has been around since release, there is nothing you could do to fix it.
This is by far worst Bluetooth implementation I ever saw in android
On top of Your problem mine stops sending call logs to the car randomly and restart or re pair are only option to mend it
So strange ! I'have never had problems with bluetooth audio with my car !
Except if decide to receive the conversations sound on my Bluetooth smartwach.
Android don't like to have 2 bluetooth devices connected for sound at the same time
All the top cell phones are having blue tooth issues...just google it. It is not unique to this phone.
I have the same phone and issue and this is still not fixed ! Has someone found a workaround?
My mate 10 Pro works fine in my car, no issues at all. It works fine on Android Auto too. Yet in my parents' car, Android Auto won't work at all; I just get a black screen.
I guess these problems are often between two specific pieces of hardware rather than a general fault with the phone, so quite difficult for manufacturers like Huawei to fix everything. But if I had my parents' car, I'd be pretty pissed!
This is a known issue with EMUI and it has to do with EMUI killing processes in the background in the name of battery optimization. If your music player is in the background or your screen is turned off, EMUI will situationally kill or freeze bluetooth/audio related processes.
If rooted, use either Titanium Backup or Service Disabler to freeze/disable the Power Genius app. This app is responsible for EMUI's battery optimization measures (but the battery life on my Mediapad improved when I disabled it). If not rooted, you might or might not be able to do this via adb.
Other solutions include plugging in a charger, or leaving your screen on.
(edit - you have to reboot after disabling Power Genius, merely disabling it will not immediately change anything)
