Note 4 "Ok Google" Not working

[sloan31]

How can I fix the issue?

I know of no fix right now, other than to just disable that option.

Re: "Ok Google" Not working

Re: ok google does not work from lock screen

Mine seems to work on the locked screen but I trained "my" voice just like the previous post..

I had to leave S VOICE turned on to be able to have the OK Google work with the screen off. You might try turning s voice back on then going into settings and turning hot word detection on.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Google Now reminders (OK Google)

I typically use an app called "Tasks" to set reminders (backed up on Google. Good layout. Great app overall)

Sometimes it would be nice to just quickly ask Google to remind me of things. I gave a verbal reminder to Google Now through OK Google (Call John at 11:30 for example). It seems that the reminder just comes up in Google Now without any type of pop-up or notification. I would have to open Google Now to find a reminder that I set. I definitely have Google Now notifications selected in the settings. I tried several different reminders with the same result.

Can this be right? Is this a bug? What's the point of asking OK Google to remind you about something but then have to remember to open Google Now to see the reminder?


Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Re: Google Now reminders (OK Google)

I can check mine soon -- phone is being used by a buddy at the moment. It should do a pop-up message (mine does) for reminders. I will double-check my settings.

Re: ok google does not work from lock screen

Mine works with s voice turned off. I turned off s voice. Went to Google now settings. Trained my voice. Enabled the work even with a pass code option and now it works perfectly.

Beamed across the web from my Beastly Galaxy Note 4!!

You were right, rogue app. I took the plunge and did a reset. I checked app by app and found the problem was LastPass.

Specifically it's the auto fill app login option that causes the issues. S Voice behaves badly when that option is enabled.

I know of no fix right now, other than to just disable that option.

Didn't you find the issue in LastPass? I looked for it and couldn't find the app.

It's not a default app. You'll only have it if you installed it.

Just want to chime in that OK Google had stopped working for me too. My default launcher is TouchWiz. However, I had installed both Nova and the Google Launcher (was considering changing). Not sure which one was the culprit but after uninstalling both and, to be safe, retraining the voice model for OK Google it seems to work again.

I was down to it only working when Google Now page was loaded. Good to have it back again. I use it a lot when my Note 4 is off and locked.

Re: Google Now reminders (OK Google)

After reading this thread I set a reminder using Google Now and, like in your case, it did not give me a notification when the time came.

Another notification problem that I'm having with Google Now is the "time to leave" notification. It appears that it only likes certain addresses. For example, I made an "appointment" at the nearest UPS store and it gave me a time to leave notification. Tried it again using my work address and received no notification. This has been driving me crazy for a days now.

This is that bug that was mentioned in an AC article. For reminders, you have to tap the button after setting it with your voice. You're not supposed to have to but until the big is fixed, you have to.

I'd post a link but I'm on my phone.

That's not what we are referring to. This is when you set a reminder and there is no notification of the reminder that was set... Other than it sitting in Google Now

Same here. It doesn't work when I have Android Wear installed. With the app removed, it works 100% of the time.

Bummer. Hope they fix it soon

The options to make it work with screen off was greyed out on mine until I turned s voice back on. I wonder if now that it's back on I could turn s voice off and it still work ......

I just tested this and came up with the same results. Clearly the Gear is the issue

Re: ok google does not work from lock screen

Hello,
has anyone noticed that okay Google does not appear to work from the lock screen. I have s voice completely disabled. I have been in the settings for Google and turned on the ability to recognize ok Google from the lock screen. Does anyone have the same problem and is there a fix for this?

i don't think I ever attempted to TURN OFF S voice, I never double tap home screen button to activate s voice, but i know i have it because I just tried it right now and s voice turned on, it doesn't bother me to leave it alone, its not like its in my way.

But anyways i turned on "ok google" in settings> language and input> voice search>"ok google" detection. I check all 3 boxes, and retrain voice model. oh and also if you go back one page to "voice search", i have "Speech Output" On, and "Audio History" On. Im not exactly sure if "audio history" on is required for your issue but it does say "Required for features such as using "ok google" to start a voice search from any screen".

My OK Google works perfectly fine from any screen even when phone is locked and s voice is turned on. Should probably still work with S voice off like some others here have said, but i wouldn't know because i never turned mines off. If you have done all this and still don't work, try restarting your phone, that might help.

Exactly. The bug is when you set a reminder using GNow and nothing happens. But heck, I don't know....I have a toothache...

Re: Note 4 "Ok Google" will not work, have tried everything

Mine stopped working too after a few days of it working. Using the Google launcher and went to Settings/System/Language and input/Speech/Voice Search to turn it "Always on" and even when screen is locked check box and works again.

Re: Google Now reminders (OK Google)

Yeah I was wrong. It's a bug with timers and alarms. Sorry.
