When I try to enable "Ok Google" with the screen off, it disables itself.

I'm still on Marshmallow.

Steps:

1) Open Google Now (swipe right, or tap the "Google" app in the drawer).
2) Tap the menu icon, then tap Settings.
3) Tap Voice.
4) Tap Google Voice Detection
5) Tap the Always On slider to enable it (accept / dismiss any explanatory messages)
6) Train the voice model

Initially, it seems to work. The toggle is 'active'. But about three seconds later, it automatically disables itself. I toggle it on again, and three seconds later, it toggles itself off again.

I like this feature, why can't I enable it on my N6?

Do you have any other sliders set to enable? For some reason, "Always on" and "While driving" are mutually exclusive on mine. But I've never seen any of them shut itself off.
