[Q] Is it possible to use the "OK Google" function when the screen is off or locked?
Does anyone know if you can invoke the "OK Google" hotword/function when the screen is off or locked a la the Moto X?
On the Moto X, you could just say "OK Google" without ever touching the phone or activating the screen, kind of like Google Home. I know you can't do that on the Galaxy S6 (You can do it from the homepage, but not from a locked or off state.)
*EDIT* - Sorry, this was already asked (but not answered) a few posts down. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/screen-off-battery-power-ok-google-t3582215.

I just got my Note 4. I have 'Ok Google' working when screen is off(not using screen lock). It responds when I say "Ok Google", but the screen remains off. How do I make "Ok google" wake the screen?
Hi,
Anyone having issues with getting their MXPE to detect "OK Google"? I've disabled Moto Voice because I prefer the stock Google Now experience, but my phone won't detect "OK Google" with anywhere near the same consistency with which it detected the Moto Voice launch phrase. The only time "OK Google" works is after I've manually activated the mic by pressing the mic icon in the Google search bar widget. After I run a search that way, the phone will detect "OK Google" for a little while, but then it stops detecting again. It's as if doing it manually launches a process that should always be running but is eventually killed by the kernel after a few minutes.
I am having the same problem. I can't figure it out for the life of me. I hope someone has some kind of solution

OK Google detection can't access mic after turning off Moto Voice in Accessibility
Having same issue OK Google detection can't access mic after turning off Moto Voice in Accessibility, won't let me turn on from any screen anymore in Settings->Languages input->Voice input->enhanced Google services gear settings->tap "Ok Google" detection when I try to turn on From any screen there's an error prompt "Can't use the microphone. Restart your device" which doesn't help.. ideas?
Is this available on 5.1.1 for the Note 4?
I dont see the option.
Also: when trusted places is on, even when the lock is disabled on my phone, "OK Google" from lock screen still thinks the device is locked, even when it isn't!
Trusted Voice would obviously fix this problem, but if there is a way to fix Trusted Places still not allowing "OK Google" to work even though the device technically is not locked.

Hi
I searched everywhere but did not find solution how to unlock and start google assistant application using "ok google" command when screen is off? When I tried "Hi galaxy" on S Voice it works perfectly when screen is off and also not charging phone. I also disabled S Voice but "ok google" still do not work. I tried every tutorial in google. Does anyone know solution for this? my phone is original and not rooted. with official latest update.
Doesn't q work q with Samsung
U tried to do it but no way
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...
