Today I updated Google and noticed that saying "okay Google" from the home button screen (whatever it's called, the screen shown when you hold the home button for a bit) doesn't work anymore. It works from any other screen from the home screen to the lock screen.
I searched around but found no solution. Anyone have any ideas, or is experiencing the same thing? Could this be just an issue with the update and require another update to fix?
Edit: And now it's mysteriously working again, with absolutely nothing changed or done on my end.
Did you ever get this fixed? Ok google has been very buggy for me. I have a Google Home and wondered if it was messing it up.
So I noticed after the update I couldn't unlock the Axon 7 when it had its screen off and it was plugged in (the feature obviously doesn't work at all if the device isn't plugged in). The way I solved this was to go to the voice activity on Google and I paused (or deactivated) it. By doing this, you essentially reset all Google Voice settings (not the history). Then, just long press the home button which brings up the assistance which will ask you to give it permission to listen to you. It will then ask you to say "Ok Google" three times (as if it's the first time you're using it). When the trusted voice option is toggled (which is automatically will do it for you), the issue is fixed and the phone can be unlocked with you voice with its display off and while plugged in.

I was having an issue where on all phone calls, I could hear the person I was speaking too, but to them it sounded like I was VERY far away from the mic (even when yelling) and they could not hear me.
At first thought it was my car bluetooth or the phone mic. But I found it wasn't the car bluetooth by using my car voice commands which worked fine. Then I tested the phone mic through "Google" now commands and voice typing which all worked fine. I even made a phone call through Hangouts which worked fine.
I have Verizon LG G3 unrooted and had my phone swapped out from Verizon on Saturday 3/15 because of this issue. Got my new phone after it was mailed to me, bought a new glass screen protector for $50 set all my settings back up and then today it started again. I have been searching for HOURS online and found a reddit article suggesting this solution. Tried it, and like magic my phone was working fine again. It is entirely software related.
First thing I did was come to this forum to make sure it was recorded here for others suffering.

Easy, launch Google Now.
Hit the menu button at the upper left (left of the Google logo).
Tap Settings.
Tap Voice.
This will put you in the right place.

Ok, Thanks. Finally tried that Google settings icon in my app drawer.. I had been avoiding it like Superman does Kryptonite...lol Found the setting there too. Thanks for the assistance. Gary
I purchased my S8 directly from T-Mobile today. So when I left the store and started using it more, I realized that it had a few bugs. Before and after the OTA(that was immediately found on my phone to download and install), and even after a factory reset.
First I'm experiencing that the Android/Google pre installed notepad or memo, is completely missing from the device. Completely searching the phone, and even going into the Android OS application settings. Also, even having Samsung do a remote screen share via technical support on the phone, and the Tutor app. Even they couldn't even find it.
Second I'm the type of person that doesn't like any type of vibration on my phone. So I turn off all the vibration in the Android OS settings, even for calls. But for some reason the touch screen home button has some type of forced/haptic vibrate. This happens on any screen, including when the screen is off and I'm clicking the touch screen home button to wake up to screen to use the device. Is this even normal, for only the touch screen home button to make some type of vibration(more specifically, some type of forced/haptic vibrate), when you have all the vibration settings that can be turned on and off in the Android OS settings completely turned off?
Then lastly, I'm having a problem with Google Voice to Text, and Bixby voice to text. What happens is, if I turn off Bixby voice to text in the Android OS settings. So I can use Google Voice to Text. But every few minutes, Bixby turns itself on, and is automatically the default voice to text. Then when I go into the Android OS settings, it appears that the circle turns blue indicating that it was on period when I clearly turned Bixby Voice to Text off in the Android OS settings.
What should I do? Should I return the device and get a replacement immediately. I got it from my carrier this morning at there corporate store. They had a bunch in stock, and when I was there UPS even delived more to the store. I even contacted Samsung, all they can tell me was to send my phone in and leave my phone there for a minimum of two weeks and remain completely with out a phone. Which is absurd, after purchasing a new phone and only owning the device 3-4 hours maximum!
Just an update, I went back to T-mobile, after speaking to booth Samsung and T-mobile and exchanged my S8. But still the problems persist on the new exchanged S8. Also, this time around it has gotten worst, because this time around I was unable to even Smart Switch the Memo files. Because on my old Galaxy I was at least able to transfer my Android/Google memos to the 1st S8. But from the returned S8 to the new exchanged S8, I was unable to do so. It was not even an option at all(greyed out or selectable)
I don't think any of these are problems? First it's Samsung notes that is presinstalled second just download a note app. Second the home button has its own vibration setting and their are apps to further customize, I have mine on a super short vibration and changed navigation keys to stay perma black even when keyboard open with an app. Lastly the bixby voice is disabled until they fix it. By default the phone uses Samsung voice but you can enable google voice or get another keyboard. Also don't forget Android is customizable but may have to use an app for it.
I have blacked out my phone, use navbar apps, and use google keyboard.

It was previously just in a bootloop and didn't want to turn on the screen at all. Managed to somehow boot it up today and factory reset (AGAIN) and connected to my less used Google account just to be safe (less data to sync).
Previous problem I had is still there however. When I click the menu button even lightly (not holding down), it opens up Assistant. Voice commands haven't crashed the watch yet but if I click on Assistant settings or anything else, screen will turn black and it won't reboot. Only way to reboot it to place it on the charger and hold down the power button.
I also have a logcat from Bluetooth debugging. Log ends when watch shuts down after clicking anything on Assistant. Started logging right after startup and all I did was install some updates which took a while.
Nothing extraordinary at the bottom of the log stands out to me but I'm probably not as good as some of you at reading logs. There seems to be several errors occurring.
Logcat: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/...3adc70142c5126ad2237d3ba19c9908a88177/log.log
Currently I use the watch while completely avoiding using the menu button. I open Play Store and everything else using shortcut button for Assistant on watchface.
I did all the updates on Play Store (WearOS, Google etc) but problem still persists.
Any help is really appreciated.
I have an AT&T H910 patched to latest (I think Nov 2018). I noticed that the phone is listening all the time. If I speak "OK Google", when I unlock the screen, it is the Google Assistance waiting for me. Also, it will respond to someone else yelling "OK Google" from a distance. Often when I am using the phone. So I found out how to disable it, which is via the "Google App, Settings, Voice".
This works for a while. However, after a few days. The "OK Google" is once again turned back on. I went to the settings, it is off. I have to turn it back on and off again to have it disabled again. Does anyone know what is going on?

just download the LG app disabler and then select ok Google and the Google search, helps for no voice commands, for me anyway but it will also break voice text ect. It's called package disabler for LG apps
Thanks for the tips. But if it breaks voice-to-text (the mic icon on keyboard), it is a non-starter...
Hello,
I have a question regarding Google Assistant light automation. I recently purchased a Philips hue system and its working pretty well. Yesterday, I set up Google Assistant to voice control the lighting at home. Some months ago, I received the Android 10 update for the Note 9 and according to the Internet, since that update, Google Assistant asks to unlock the phone in order to perform the turn on/off functions for the bulbs. Now, I found out that adding my home to Smart Lock works. But the thing is that as long the phone is locked, I only get one response from the Assistant. When I try to activate it again, it activates, then it listens to what I'm saying and then it shows the three dot icon like its searching but nothing happens. If I turn off the screen with the button and activate the Assistant once again, it again works for the first command. I tried to factory reset the phone but it didnt help.
This is certainly a Smart Lock/Android 10/Google Assistant issue since if I'm not home and the phone is locked, I receive response all the time. Likewise, if I'm home and unlock the phone manually, I get response on every command.
Is this a bug? Do anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks in advance
Yes, it is a bug, but not necessarily because of the home automation although I first noticed it when it didn't respond to home automation commands or routines.
i recently purchased quite a few automated lights and switches.
ok google
turn on bedroom
what time is it
tell me a joke
all have the grayed out mic and grayed out dots you refer to.
WHEN the phone is unlocked and home.
It is only noticeable for me when the phone is unlocked but home. I have set the GPS and WIFI to keep the phone unlocked at home, so it theoretically should work since it recognizes my wifi network and gps. but it refuses to respond with a "ok google" when speaking about turning something on and off command.
unlock the phone manually and it works.
I haven't been out much...
