"Ok Google" & PushBullet - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

So I downloaded the new Pushbullet update to take advantage of their new Notification Mirroring Service feature.... basically does the same as the Desktop Notification app. I did this so maybe I wouldnt have to use 2 apps on my phone that does the same service. The next day, I realized that the hotword detection feature (ok google) stopped working from the Homescreen and even in Google Now. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out why and i almost returned my N5 and somehow found my way to Accessibility settings and remembered that, enabling the new Pushbullet feature was the last major thing I did on my phone. I unchecked and disabled it and Boom, "Ok Google" works perfectly fine again.
So if anyone is having an issue with their hotword detection not working, check Pushbullet or any other accessibility settings.

I don't have PushBullet installed, but I also lost the "Ok Google" detection. I rebooted my phone and that brought it back. Something else to try if anyone runs into any issue.

Make sure that in Google Now settings> Voice> Language (Set it to English US)

Quick Pushbullet question to reduce forum clutter. Can you change the life time of the notification popups? Its a bit too quick to disappear. I am running the latest version of OSX. Haven't found applicable settings to change.

No I dont think so..... Desktop Notifications does give you the option to change how long the notification stays up.
I also just got an email from PushBullet about the issue I detailed at the top and they are working on a fix.

I had this same issue with the "Lockscreen Notification" app.

As of today's fix, this is no longer a problem. I' had been wondering "okay Google" had stopped working until I saw this post. But after this morning's update to Pushbullet, I can once again use "okay Google".

i use pushbullet as well. no problems with google's ok google for me. works fine..

Phantom Voicemails - Still have them

I have been having issues with the Phantom Voicemail issue on all the Cyanogen Mod roms.
I have tried changing the voicemail phone number through the My Carrier options, that did nothing. Tried clearing out the Dialer Storage, that did nothing.
I have spent roughly 3 hours trying to find a fix. Does anyone know of anything?
I use Google Voice, so the dual notification icons get annoying, not to mention the fact that this one doesn't disappear, and reappears if I reboot my phone, or go in and out of service.
If there is a file that I can remove to have it stop, and allow me to just use Google Voice, that would work great too, as of now, I just want the darn thing gone.
You have to download an app and black list it. There's a post around here somewhere. I'm on my phone so I can't find it. But look for Sprint's VVM. There's a link to the app in the OP.

The two apps I can think of are RedList, and SPC (Super Private Conversation). SPC is the bigger of the two apps (I think around 2-3mb?), but I don't think the free version of RedList lets you disable the notification icon (I could be wrong? Someone feel free to correct me).
Is there anything other then an application that can block the notification message?
Removing a file or changing a file perhaps?
No clue, though I'd wager it has to be done on the code level.
I don't think I've ever actually ran into this bug. I gather it notifies you of voicemails despite not actually having any? Odd.
It looks like this, with my phone number edited out.

No matter what the time it is, this was on first boot up. Then it "notified me" again, at 11:17 PM.
It's a known bug on Cyanogenmod...

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

It's working perfectly for me. Today I installed Google launcher app via playstore n after it was installed it popped up for a newer version n then I could place google search bar from widgets onto home screen. Now once I tap on it, conveniently opens search page n when tapped on microphone symbol voice assistant is activated perfectly delivering asked results.
Is this not working for you? See my home screen pic

Google voice with wired headset nag

I have US Cellular XT1768 running Resurrection Remix. I often get the nag posted below when listening to music at the health club...usually fumbling around trying to switch tracks...I think is when it happens. Sometimes the google chick even talks to me saying that I can use my voice to perform certain actions. Getting her to shut up is sometimes a hassle, plus she overrides my tunes! I've been on RR for quite a while, but I remember the same thing happening with the stock ROM as well. Is there a way to disable the Google nag, and/or remove the "feature"?
Thanks!

Sounds like your headphones are accessing the home button. I have 1 headset that does that.
Why would that happen? The headphones are plain ear buds...no attached microphone., volume buttons, or anything for that matter.

The headphone jack has three inputs though. Something may be touching it. It happens. You can go into settings for the Google app and disable the hesdset recognition. It may help. Google app -
Settings/voice/hands free . Haven't tried it myself

Madbat is right, the same thing happens when I'm hard wired to the Aux input in my car, and that jack only has two bands on it.
It seems to be Google Assistant/Spy/Tracker being activated. The only way I've found to get rid of the accidental activating is to disable Assistant completely, which I wanted to do anway.
The setting is actually kinda hidden...
On Nougat, at least: Settings... Google... Search... Settings (under Google Assistant)... (then, if you haven't done so already: ) click thru the next two screens with 'No Thanks' or 'No' or 'Continue' or whatever.... now you are in yet another 'Settings' screen.... then, under Devices, click Phone.... there is the setting you need to disable Assistant.
This worked for me, anyway.
HTH
@beachfl
Thanks! Found the setting and turned it off. Hopefully it takes care of the issue.
Well, there has to be more to it than the Google settings because the damn nag keeps popping up. I've now resorted to disabling all notifications from the Google app. I'll see if that stops it!

[Temporary Fix] Fix the Mic not working on OOS Pie on 3/3T

Hi there!
If you're here, I hope you're enjoying the newly released OxygenOS Pie Community Build on your OnePlus 3/3T
But, there's a serious bug which bothers a lot (me atleast)
Mic doesn't seem to work when earphones are connected in mostly all apps, except the Dialer app. Normal calling is fine, but Mic doesn't work in WhatsApp Calls, Sound Recorder app and in PUBG. I've So, I found a temporary fix for it.
I started checking all the apps which use the mic & then it striked my mind that it is Google Assistant which keeps listening at all times! So, it seems that in OOS Pie, there's an issue which causes Google Assistant to always occupy the mic. This shouldn't be the case in my opinion as there are a lot of people who use Google Assistant.
NOTE : It is still a BUG and needs to be fixed. This is only a temporary solution that I found while I was messing up with logs and stuff, to investigate this issue.
Steps:-
1. Open Google App.
2. Press 'More' on the bottom right, and then 'Settings'.

3. Press 'Voice', then 'Voice Match' and turn 'Access with Voice Match' off.
It seems there's some issue with the Google App or Google Play Services app that comes pre-installed with the ROM.

After disabling it:-
This applies to the 'leaked' Closed Beta build as well as the new 'Community Build'.
Let me know if it fixed the issue for you!
