Can't get OK Google to work anywhere

[smalba]

I went to the settings and the option to use it anywhere is greyed out. I'm using the note 4 on sprint with lollipop update . Anyone know how to enable it?

I wonder if S Voice prevents Ok Google detection on any screen. Maybe try S for Switch Voice Free? See this article: Start Google Now with your voice on the Galaxy Note 3 - CNET

How exactly do you have the lolipop update...

 

[smalba]

I'll have to check the 's voice. And I'm on sprint , just got the download today for lollipop.

Has anyone on sprint with lollipop been able to set okay Google everywhere? It's still just greyed out.

Same here, I tried turning s voice off, still no Google on lock screen on or off. Works on home screens.

No issues my side. Both google now and s voice are working on LP.

Are you on sprint? And lollipop ? If so how did you get it to work?

Spint - Lollipop

My voice settings are grayed out too BUT "Ok Google" works exactly the way it did before. I can use when locked and on any screen

Is English (US) set as the default language?

I believe S-Voice needs to be turned on in order for the Ok Google detection to work.

 

[smalba]

S voice is on. I messed with the settings on there and it still doesn't work.

I have this problem too, I have the note 4 on sprint with lollipop and can't get Okay google to work. I have disabled S voice enabled it, disabled it again and still nothing. Probably have to wait for Google to update or our version of lollipop to update.

Dang. This is a feature I use a lot . I hope they fix it soon.

I use it a lot too but I don't notice it too much because I have the LG g watch r. Doing the Okay googling for now. But it does suck.
