OK Google now works with Power Saver

[pkguy323]

I learned when I first got my Tmo Note8 that the hands-free 'Ok Google' would only work when the Power Saving mode was OFF. Bummer as I use my phone HEAVILY in the day and was starting to wonder about getting a different phone for the longer battery.

On Monday, I gave it a try. Set power to Mid-Customized...and changed the the Screen Resolution down to HD+ and AOD off.

Restarted the phone and said the 'Ok Google'...and it's been working ever since.....and my battery lasted a few more hours than normal.

IDK if it was the latest Security patch or Google app update, but I am very pleased now. I wasn't happy with the overall battery life vs what I've seen others have so this puts me inline.

Wanted to share. Hope this works for others.

Handy to know, thanks for the heads up!
Especially since I've only just started to use the power saving mode on mine at work for music purposes.
