Note 4 "Ok Google" Not working

Re: Note 4 "Ok Google" will not work, have tried everything

Android Wear was causing "OK Google" not to work for me. Removing the app fixed the problem.

I didn't have to remove the app. It works fine when my Gear is not connected.

This is that bug that was mentioned in an AC article. For reminders, you have to tap the button after setting it with your voice. You're not supposed to have to but until the big is fixed, you have to.

I'd post a link but I'm on my phone.

Reminders working fine for me. When I tell google to remind me...it asks if I want to set the reminder. I say yes and its set.

That's not the issue. The issues is that after you say yes and set it the app never actually reminds you.

OK, I'm actually getting the reminders. I've been using it a lot. Must be some app or setting causing that issue.

The one thing I hate, is that it's hard to track down the exact cause of a problem.

Yes, I disabled the S-Voice Wake-Up feature and now Ok Google works from any screen! Thanks for the assist!

As a side note (no pun intended ) I really wish the OK Google volume wasn't tied into the media volume. When I listen to something from my phone speaker at my desk it's typically pretty low...say 30-40%. But when I go to use OK Google that is not nearly enough volume for it...especially if I ask it a question where she is going to respond with a Wikipedia read-out for example.

My experience so far is that Google Now does not work consistently with the Wake Up command feature. Maybe I am not doing something right. I have turned off/on SVoice, disconnect my Gear 2, etc. Perhaps a future update is needed.

That's not true, I had set up my Note 4 weeks ago and it worked fine..at first, then, nothing. It doesn't even work anymore when I'm on my phones home screen where the Google search box is present, now, nothing. I had it where my phone was off, "Okay Google," and yayyy, so cool to use but now..well, you know, nothing..

I find this 'tool' very useful and am working on trying to find a fix. I must say, it appears that ever since I bought my Samsung Gear Circle blue tooth head phones, is when it stopped working. Have you connected anything to your device? I should have read some of the responses before jumping in on the fun responding, guess I'm a bit anxious at the moment but, hopefully you've found a fix..

The note 4 is different for some reason svoice is in control of all.
I have disabled it, then reinabled it then formated my phone for the second
time to try to resolve. It always comes back to controling my voice control.
note 3 worked great and i could train my voice with google. I always disable svoice
because I dont like the way it works.
Now I dont even like google voice!!!
sombody please help!
Thanks

Re: Note 4 "Ok Google" will not work, have tried everything

if you are not using svoice this option is grayed out

If your screen is turn off, and you say Ok Google, and hear the noise but the screen stays off and you can't really do anything, ENABLE the lockscreen, then it will work from screen off, apparently currently you have to have the lockscreen enabled for it to wake up to a normal Google Now screen like the Moto X does

I'm sick of this. I've tried everything. Ok Google command only comes through when I'm on the google search screen. Period!

I was having that problem from the google now launcher. What I did was go to the google search app, not the google now screen to the left, then select the menu button on the top left, then select settings. From there I selected "voice", then " google now detection" and I was able to enable it from any screen and when screen is off while charging.

Thanks, I tried that too. But while trying to find a fix for the delayed travel reminders I came across a fix in another forum. The suggestion was to go to manage apps and clear the cache under Google Services Framework, then force stop. Itried that and restarted phone....so far so good. I'm still playing around with it, but it is opening the app from lock screen.

I re-installed "google" app and it worked for me

 

[Cedric French]

I agree, "Ok Google" works sometimes outside of Google Now, but always works in Google Now. Please let me know if you find a fix.

Re: "Ok Google" Not working

Yeh mine was working first couple of days when screen was off but not now. Only when I tap the actual microphone icon next to the google box does it work now. Not sure why.
