OK Google from any screen fixed

[warpdrive]

I am on AT&T as well and just reactivated the from any page feature - no extra steps. The unlock by voice is brand new I think? Don't remember seeing that before.

Yeah, that looks new to me too.

I used this method with a past device when ok google from any page was new. Maybe my Nexus 5? It has been around a while.

I know this sounds crazy but it was something like this and then turn off and then back on:

All you need to do is open a Google Search box and type in: ''Ok Google everyhere''. That's it. Once you've searched for that phrase (or ''unleash the Google'' if the first phrase didn't work) then you will have access to the Ok Google from any screen settings. Honestly. Now you just need to open your Google Settings app (the grey icon with a G and cog in your app drawer). You need to have Audio History enabled in your Voice Settings and for now you must be using US English.

That worked for me!!! I now have those options on mine! Thanks.

I'm on Verizon and I have version 7.5.71 and I don't get the option either. I tried turning it off and back on again.

It seems with the new Google Play Services update we got back the OK Google option from any screen.

Secure lock settings

Uninstall it and reinstall that's what I did

Yep... Fixed for now. That was my only complaint with this phone.

I would assume it's another item that will drain battery

Trusted voice isn't working for me. If I say ok Google while my screen is locked it will listen to me but once I say a command it requires me to swipe to unlock. anyone else having this trouble?
