voice search

[mbalsaritchie]

I have been able to perform a voice search by tapping the little mic button, but can't get it to enable a search by speaking Google. Anyone else have this issue? Do I need to enable something first.

I had the same issue and solved it by switching my language settings back to (I think) American English. No idea how it got changed.

Got to settings>language & input>voice search>Hot word detection. Make sure hot word detection is selected.

Had the same problem. Changing the input language to English US did it! Thanks.

Still doesn't work, any other ideas?

Nope. Hard reset or call in for some help.

I think it only works within Google Now.
