I have my setting checked to work all the time, but it never works unless the Google app is open. It works fine on my Samsung Tab 4.
Works fine for me. The screen has to be unlocked.

Won't work when locked.You can have it work when the screen is off too.
Another something new to me I just learned.If you use the Google now launcher, "Ok Google" will work much more reliably from outside the Google app.
I was having several issues with G. voice. Everything mentioned here plus other things like text messages were a disaster. After an update tho, everything was fixed. It's been working beautifully now. Just a side note- my Svoice isn't disabled...no problems.

Hi ... Which update are you referring to?
I can't figure out why, but twice last night it triggered watching YouTube. Lol. I didn't hear anything that sounded remotely close to "OK Google" at the time it triggered.

Same experience here, but that doesn't disquiet me none. The only time I use any Voice Control is when using the Camera.Will not work for me with the screen locked, maybe because I use Nova Launcher. Works just fine with screen unlocked, though.
