From the time I got my phone about once every few hours touchless control activates for no reason nothing remotely close to "OK Google now" is said. Since the update in the play store it happens around 4 times an hour, even to loud indistinguishable noise In a bar. I've tried uninstalling an reinstalling touches control to no avail, as well as re recording the phrase. I'm on stock, us cellular model, ota applied, rooted, unlocked boatloader, any one else have this problem, or a fix?

I am not experiencing the issue you describe
Sorry you are having that issue. FWIW, I am not experiencing any issues like that so it sounds like something is definitely wrong with your hardware. I would try re-flashing the stock rom to see if that helps. Sorry I could not be of much more help.
I would like to avoid reflashing stock if possible, I've spent countless hours setting this phone up, I've gone 10 days without a flash ha I don't want to fall off the wagon yet even if it is just stock, I'm an ex flashaholic

When I first got mine it was doing that, because I just had the launch phrase as 'OK Google', and it got a lot of false positives.
I had to wipe my phone for the update, and since I rerecorded the phrase it hasn't falsely come on once.
Try saying the phrase slower.

9kracing you are a genius, re recording it very slow seemed to work for now, and it still responds when I say it fast

The shorter the "activation" phrase, the more prone it is to false activation. I successfully programming it to activate off of " hey moto" but it was going off all the time in my truck while listening to the radio. "OK Google" was much better, but still regularly activated during normal conversations with friends. "OK Google now" is the best... It may trigger once a day while having conversation with friends or family, but that's it.
What do you currently have it trained as? I would first retrain it, if that failed, then uninstall the update and reinstall, again If that fails, wipe cache and reinstall the update to touchless... All else fails, back up your apps and data and restore to stock then restore apps/data and set up touchless again.
Good luck

I can live with some false positives, but my problem is that when they happen, screen gets to sleep, but stays Unlocked, meaning that any touch on it within my pocket starts calling people and such. Anyone else with this problem? Is there a way to relock/protect screen after using touchless control?

I was having false positives five times per hour that's why I made this thread, but I got rid of all false positives by recording the phrase super slow, haven't had a single false start in over a week

Hi all by default if your outside the the USA your OK Google voice command on the home screen won't work. You need to switch voice settings to English USA Video with guide below
Thanks for posting this. I wonder why Google limit it to just English US.

Could it be that the recognition is not currently working well with foreign accents?

The annoying thing is that it was working earlier, had the text saying "say OK Google to search" but now it's gone.

Also have this, language set to US English, no hotword anymore.
Maybe it just realises you know what to do after saying it a few times so it disappears

It doesn't recognise the hot word for me. I've spent at least an hour changing settings and shouting "ok google" at my phone. It's not ok, google...
Yaaaay, thank you :laugh:

ah sorry, mine has disappeared too but it still recognises me sayin ''ok google''
you most likely have but doubled checked the language settings?
Yeah it disappears after a bit.. figures you've worked it out
It seems really sensitive - we had the N5 on one side of the office and saying OK google from the other and it picked it up perfectly - and worked even with our lancashire accents, which was a shock as I expected to have to do my best Cletus impression to get it working.
does it work with the screen off i.e on standby?

I've checked everything that can be checked: Tried changing phone language, keyboard input, voice output, voice search to US.
It works if I factory reset, so it look like I'll have to do that and restore my apps
changed to English US and still nothing, I look right mental sat here shouting at my phone
Title says it. It always worked no sweat on 4.2. Now whenever I have the headphone jack plugged in it doesn't register any voice commands or input at all. Kind of annoying if you use your phone while driving to listen to music. So my question is has anyone else noticed or can test theirs for me? Am I missing a toggle in the menus somewhere? It's really frustrating me.

Saw this yesterday...Very frustrating as you said...This used to work in 4.2 right?
Yeah it definitely worked in the previous version.

Go in moto forums and tell them. That will be the fastest way to get fixed

Just a little update today....it started working again. Sort of. I basically have to yell at my phone to get it to recognize ok Google now. So it does work, but not at all like it did.

Strange, mines works as normal. Had a text conversation today with my buddy while dodging shi**y traffic and Lady Gaga blaring (don't ask) and it didn't miss a word.

I can't open that link (despite being registered with Moto too). Were you ever able to get it to work normally again?
I have the same problem on my new Moto X and haven't found a solution anywhere.
I thought this was the only phase it would follow, if I say okay only, it opens the search...or just okay google. Maybe google now? it is becoming a problem as my phone was on this morning on something searched I had not as it was on charger all night. Was randomly popping up seaches yesterday too. Anyone have this issue and know a way of resolving it? Makes me afraid for USC to get the 4.4 update...Thanks in advance.

Ever since camera update and gnow update to take OK Google from search results my motox has been super sensitive. It will go off from nearly anything. 4.4 root.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Ever since I took the I 4.4 ota from Verizon. The touchless control has also been crazy sensitive too. It goes off all the time and I don't know until she says 'the command canceled'. Not sure it a factory reset would fix it but haven't been willing to try that yet. Any ideas what else might fix it from being more sensitive?
Not sure what to do but its terrible for me too on 4.4. I'm going to have to turn it off. Keeps going off all the time.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I've been having the same problem, phone will be in my pocket or on my desk and I will randomly hear "command canceled"
Its very annoying and happens several times a day, and nothing even close to "OK Google" is being said.
Seems to be a fairly common problem so hopefully a fix is in the works

Try retaining the okay Google now command. It's important to do it in a quiet room and hold your phone at arms length.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have read other posts here claiming that saying the training phrase more slowly helped with it accidentally turning on.
(I've had no problems myself, still on 4.2.2 with the camera update)

I've had it turn on watching a trailer for a movie. Restarted the trailer and it popped up again in same spot.

I've only had one "accidental" fire...
That's in quotes for a reason... My son and I were cooking on thanksgiving... My phone was in my pocket... His nexus 7 was displaying the recipe on the counter...
When the pie went in the oven...
"OK Google, set alarm for 30 minutes"
Nexus acknowledged the command and I told my son to come get me when the Alarm went off.
Obviously, he didn't need to... My phone's alarm also went off.

That's the odd thing, mine worked perfectly on 4.2.2 as well but ever since the upgrade to 4.4 it goes off randomly.
Of course I've tried retraining the phrase several times but it seems to make no difference.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that is what's strange cuz I'm on 4.2.2 obviously since US Cellular hasn't got 4.4 yet. Even completely stock besides unlocked boot loader. Have used FXZ's in past week or two in order to lose root. Wondering if I should try a data and cache wipe. Not sure but today was actually pretty good without random searches.

I'm not sure what all this app does. I believed it was for voice dial and the car dock. I'm on ViperOne ROM and I have the car dock uninstalled through the ROM installer.
So, today it just popped up when I picked it up. I was at work and I hit the back button and it was gone. I've never seen that screen before, I can't duplicate what it did, and it wasn't in my recents.
Anyway I'm not worried about it just curious.

Does it occur when swiping top down when the screen is off?

Yes it activates when swiping down.
But what I saw yesterday was not that it just looked simple and def not a Google thing.
I'm just wondering WTF was that lol

Well I think the HTC speak is the one when swiping top to bottom when the screen is off to wake up and do certain commands idk why they have it though seems kinda useless to me

Actually I think it's ok. It works that's always a plus.
Still wish I could duplicate what I did.
Another thing that I just remembered that I discovered. Was using my boss's radio at work and hooked up my m8. Radio had an elastic thing to hold an mp3 player. As soon as the phone saw the elastic, it went into dot matrix mode lol. Kinda funny.
