Thanks. Embarrassed to say I didn't notice the asterisk in the sequence. That did it :)

I'm on Rogers as well but the phone code didn't work for me - got an error. How did you make the determination?

Unfortunately, that was a verbatim repost of what he/she posted 6 days ago in the same forum. Dead silence from Google in between "reassuring" posts....

I have a Galaxy S6 running Lollipop (5.02). I am very interested in learning more about the 'find my car' feature of Google Now. I have set up my defaults to say that I drive, but so far a Now card has never been issued that relates to me getting in or out of my car. No matter what I do, I...

And now this from a Google Community Manager on the Google product forum: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/xGiV6D4PMS8/fsDjU6dqHAAJ

OK, so for the first time that I have seen, @samsungsupport on Twitter tonight has said that this is Google's doing. Given the ineptitude of previous interactions with them, I take this with a bit of a grain of salt, but here is a link to the tweet just the same...

Re: "OK Google" option 'from any screen' suddenly disappeared On Nova's settings there is an option under "desktop" that allows you to place a 'persistent search bar' on every page. That, plus the hotword recognition together is probably why it is working for you on every page. It's not quite...

I'm happy that this worked for you (I would ask you to report back and tell us if this stays 'stable' - I'm betting not over time but who knows). I'm sure I can speak for the majority of us here, if not for all of the rest of us, that we have all tried this many, many times over the past days...

@PsychDoc Can you tell me the name of the flip clock app/widget in your first screenshot? I really like it :)

I have always used one not yet mentioned - Smart Keyboard Pro. I really love the layout and the fact that I can longpress so many of the keys to get alternate type. That said there is one thing I really do NOT like and maybe I can get some advice here since I can't seem to get an answer from...

PROGRESS (at least a bit...) While browsing through another forum I think I may have discovered something relevant. I had suspected, based on others posts here and other places, that it was not the Samsung push services that broke this, but rather the Google Play Services. The version of...

The question we are all asking is WHY has this valuable option been disabled. There are reports (can't confirm if true or not since no one from Google is talking openly yet) that Google intentionally disabled it because of some complaints that it activated by accident. Like a lot of people go...

Re: "OK Google" option 'from any screen' suddenly disappeared Over on google product forums there is a long and building thread about this. Bottom line is that so far it was reported that Google has disabled this intentionally because some users complained that it activated by accident IF...

Re: "OK Google" option 'from any screen' suddenly disappeared Yes, when I said 'launch' screens I meant home screens. But indeed if I use the Google Now launcher, I can get "OK Google" by default on all home screens. I cannot do this with any other launcher. Besides, I would never have...

Re: "OK Google" option 'from any screen' suddenly disappeared Um, not quite. I did the Push uninstall and indeed it changed the microphone icon on the main home screen, but it did NOT do anything to solve the issue we have all been posting about. Under Google Now settings there was (2 days...
