Out of all the options I've read online, this is the only thing that actually worked for me, so thank you for posting this message. I was getting very frustrated because I knew I had a wi-fi connection and my phone carriers connection to boot but I would still receive that message that it was offline, so bravo to you madam or sir and thanks for your post!

thank you thank you thank you! THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! I've been without voice searches for over a month now.... the worst part is that I had to drive across country without it, which was the time I needed it the most! I'm very grateful.

I know this post is a little old. But, there really isn't a lot of results for this issue. I was having this same problem. It just happened out of the blue. I tried clearing the cache in the Google app, I tried installing the Google Now Launcher (I always use Nova Launcher), and a ton of other junk. What fixed it for me was to go into the Google app, tap on the three slashes in the upper left hand corner for settings, opened up the option for my account (*******@gmail.com), and then I chose the option to sign out of my account. Upon signing back into my Google account okay Google started working again. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that post rumplestiltskin. Going into the app, clearing cache, browsing data and initializing Voice once again caused it to work.

Is your S voice disabled? I found that it caused my ok google to say offline all the time, when it was disabled.

What's S voice?

 

[Chode Node]

S Voice is the Samsung equivalent to Google Now.

I resolved this problem by removing my Google account from the phone and re-adding it.

 

[badgerfrisch]

I fixed the problem by un-installing updates to the Google ap and then re-installing them. Things were right as rain after that.

FOR ALL ANDROID USERS ON 6.0 OR HIGHER!!!!!!!!
Don't mess with settings anymore!!!!!!!!
Very simple fix ..
Options to battery.
Battery to battery optimization.
Scroll down or click "optimized apps”(u should still in battery menu).
Click Google App.
Switch optimization off.
Walla.
Don't mess with s switch or battery saver.
Just simply unoptimize and enjoy.

THANK YOU my cell network could not fix this wanted me to bring in the phone. Logging out of google and signing back in did it. Many thanks. God bless.

Power Saving mode causes this. In Power Saving settings, you have to turn off "restrict background data".

After trying out so many options that did not work long term this was a simple permanent fix. As soon as I turned off the 'restrict background data' in the 'Battery- More.. ' the offline symbol on Google Now disappeared.

Seems like a good idea. Google voice search is not one of the apps on this list though. (Samsung S7). Is it perhaps labeled as something else?

I have been going through this a couple weeks now with my 7 Edge. I just noticed that my safe search in my Google settings was off. I turned it on and everything works great
