OK Google seems very flakey - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Voice trained it the first time, and it seemed to be working. Waited a few minutes and kept repeating OK Google from off screen and nothing, went in retrained it nothing...deleted voice pattern, tried it again. Anyone else finding its very flakey?

As bas as ok google is s-voice works everytime
So ok google doesnt seem to wake the phone up, at least on mine not working. So i tried hi galaxy, works like a charm all the time so much for ok google.

Mine wakes up when screen is off for about an hour after trained, then it just decides not to.

Works perfectly for me, screen off, screen on, locked screen... perhaps you should not have set up S-voice too? I have not touched S-voice as there is no need for both apps.

I didnt set up s voice, i only resorted to it after ok google from sleep wasnt working. I had experience like other op where it worked then waited a few minutes and dint work. One app has nothing to do with other app, theyvare completely independant. Anyway to each their own enjoy ok google, lol

go to settings > Language and input
click on the gear button next to Google voice typing
click on OK Google detection
select the options to have OK google on on lock screen and when screen is turned off

Yeah I was playing with it last night and it seemed to have ignored me after awhile when the phone was off.
So maybe the phone is actually going into sleep mode fully.

[Q] OK GOOGLE keeps breaking

Sadly, the ability of my s5 (Kitkat 4.4.2 SM-6900T NK2) to respond to "OK Google" from any screen is very, very unreliable these days. If I go back to an earlier version of Google Search, sometimes it will work again. If I update to the latest version, sometimes that will work for a day, then it breaks again. Sometimes if I just retrain it to recognize me saying OK Google, it will work for a while.
While it's broken, I can even try OK Google from the screen the widget is on, and nothing happens.
This is really annoying. I've made sure that all the required options are selected, such as audio history on, from google search app, from any screen, and from lock screen.
Is anyone else having this same problem?
Tried clearing data & cache for the actual app itself?

"Say OK Google any time" toggle broken?

I noticed that my OK Google was not functioning the other day so I went into the Google Assistant settings and noticed that "Say OK Google any time" was switched off. I went in and switched it back on, but when I go back in it is switched off every time.
Anyone else notice this? Saying OK google still seems to work, just thought it was odd...
A.
yeah I noticed that too on TMO s7e also causes my battery to drain
I too noticed that as well. I uninstalled updates and then reinstalled app. Same result.

OK google

Has anyone gotten ok google to work outside of the app itself? I have it turned on, but it won't recognized my command outside of the app. I'm aware of the s voice issues in the past but this phone doesn't have S voice so I don't know what else could be interfering.

This is how it's always been for me. S7 edge and I've given up on it. :/

For me it works regardless of which application i'm in.
Google -> Settings -> Voice -> 'Ok Google' detection

You are correct on that. However if you say "OK Google" and then press the power button it unlocks and launches the assistant. So, yea rather weird...
I came from a Nexus 6p and used this all the time. And noticed instantly something was up when it never unlocked my phone. I ended up retraining my voice model a million times because of it.
My Google does searches without me saying ok google.
It's funny at work as I have conversations and suddenly my phone has found what was talking about.

I had to take my S8+ to Best Buy and have it re-flashed and it's working great. Finally.

Galaxy S8 and OK GOOGLE problem

Good morning. I have rom soldier (rooted) but this is not a rom problem because even with other roms. Perhaps is a settings problem.
When i sai OK GOOGLE if i have the screen on, always go well.
If i have always on display, sometimes goes well but at 50% times the first beep is immediate and after 3 seconds there is another beep......
in screen there is "impossible contact google" or something like this.
seems that connection is not immediate and when phone is in standby something lock OK GOOGLE.
can anyone suggest for solve this problem? thanks

Voice match / Ok Google doesn't work

Hello, can't seem to manage to activate voice match, everytime I try and activate, I record my voice, but the slider stays greyed out. Clicking it just restarts the recording process all over again. Mi 9t bought in France, french language and global miui 10.3.7 here. Tried no screen lock, clearing Google app cache, rebooting, to no avail... Anyone could point me in the right direction to solve the issue?
Same problem for me.
Uninstalled the updates on Google app and working for now, weird. Doesn't work from screen off though, but that might be a feature the phone can't handle?

I think the k20 series has the qualcomm wcd9340 audio chip..which looking at their website it says it has support for always listening wake up voice commands from when the phone is off..I wonder if roms could make this function work unlike xiaomi..

That also did the trick for me. Had similar problems on Asus Zenpad tab, so I doubt it it's a feature the phone can't handle... Or maybe can't handle yet.
Edit: Well, just updated the Google app and now everything is working - Voice Match turns on, stays on and working. Pretty sure this was a Google fix.
Thanks, that work for me too.

But does the assistant gets triggered when the screen is off?
And can you change the hotword to "hey Google" instead of crappy "okay Google"?
To me it works on lock screen but not on Always on screen. When phone is locked try press once power button and talk. To me works if always on not activated or when I press power button without unlocking
Worked for me but not anymore after update
It never worked for me until around maybe 1- 2 weeks ago. (I randomly checked it one Day and the option wasnt blocked anymore, it worked perfectly) but after the 11.0.2 system update it doesn't work anymore...
The option voice match is blocked again.
I can tell from the last replies on this post users were able to use it. Is it still the same case after the update ??
Sorry for **** english (not my first language)
I have the same problem, although I own redmi K20 pro Chinese version...
I had the same problem, the Voice match would start loading and never stopped. After trying all the available solutions found on the internet, I tried the most simple one. I simply changed the system and Assistant language to English (US), and it magically worked. The default language before that was English (UK).
So, maybe just try to switch it to US and then reboot the smartphone.
I have the Mi 9T Pro, EU version (MIUI 11.0.3.)
