Hello, I have this problem with my xiaomi redmi note 8 for 2 months and it is driving me crazy.
One day my "ok google" command stopped being answered by the cell phone. Try everything (battery saver, reconfigure voice, reinstall wizard, update google app) and nothing. Yesterday I discovered that when the headset is connected, ok google works without problems.
I know what you are thinking, the internal microphone of my cell phone should not be working. But the strangest thing is that it works perfectly and in fact the google application can make use of it. It just doesn't respond to the "ok google" command unless the headphones are connected.
Thank you in advance!

I purchased a Motorola TZ700 Roadster and paired it up with my Atrix. Pressed the Voice Dial button and it works.
Did it a few times and everything seems ok..
Then the Atrix screen goes blank (I have it set for two minutes)
If I hit the voice dial button on the roadster while the phone is 'asleep' the roadster beeps twice and I do not get a "say command" prompt.
If I unlock the phone and hit the roadsters voice dial it works.
Seems to only have a problem when the phone is asleep.
I then tried to play music over the roadster while the phone was asleep and it plays no problem.
Has anyone else come accross this? any solutions? Ideas?
Is this normal for a android phone?
Thanks,
Pete
Try freezing viingo. Worked for me.

Bluetooth voice dial
On my ATRIX and I believe all Android phones from Motorola if you have a password set bluetooth will not work to start voice command unless the phone is plugged in to a charger. I know my ATRIX will not start voice command unless I unlock the phone. Not good as I can't have a password and bluetooth voice dial, not happy.
hope this helps

Thanks for the replys.. Freezing vlingo didn't resolve it.
I'll guess I'll have to live with it and plug it in when I get in the car..
Appreciate the reply.. thought I was going nuts...

On the Atrix just having the screen off (no password set), bluetooth voice commands will not work. The funny thing is I can even hear the phone beaping but the headset does not beap back to take a voice command. Using all Plantronics headsets.
Does anyone have a headset that this does not happen and you can BT voice command with the screen off?
Bluetooth voice dial
I use a Motorola S605, EQ5, Finiti, Oasis and H15 they all work for voice commands with screen off. I did not have good luck with the S10-HD. Check your settings for bluetooth and I very strongly suggest you install MotoSpeak. In MotoSpeak under Settings Enable Voice Commands and Enable Listen. MotoSpeak is an amazing program!
Hope this helps,

I use a plantronics headset that works with voice dial as long as no pin/finger print security is enabled
There is a setting under "Security" that will enable voice dialing when the phone is locked
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!
LG G5, rooted
My phone, dialer, and mic work well with non-Google apps. However, my Google apps don't seem to recognize any spoken input:
"Ok Google" just sits at the dots, not registering any input
I can't train Google Assistant
Hangouts doesn't register any spoken input nor has the speakers output any sound
What's odd is that when I hang up on a Hangouts Dial call, I briefly hear sound. So, from what I can gather, the phone is generally working but somehow there's something specific to how Google wants to do its job that's not working.
Uninstalling data/updates to Google/Google Now didn't do anything. Permissions seem to be fine.
Any ideas?
