When using moto voice commands Google search opens but says "opening Google" which is annoying. I had moto x 2014 and 2013, neither did this.
Anyone figure out how to disable this?

Based on comments/threads I've seen for the '14 X, it started doing this as well with the most recent update to moto Voice
Everyone says theirs is doing this but yet my Turbo doesn't. It just passes the query to Google Search. Weird.
Same here, annoying as can be. I set my M8 up w/ Nova and Google Now always listening and never had this. My wife's Ultra from last year simply does what you ask. None of this passing to Google. Between this and the inability for data/talk I'm having second thoughts. If only, if only, if only the N6 wasn't so damm big. Turbo is perfect size but seems to use half finished software.

I noticed in a few reviews they state that the 2014 Moto X comes with the Google Now launcher as the default. This does not seem to be the case with my Verizon variant. When I swipe to get the Google now screen (left of my home screen) it doesn't work. I have to swipe up from the bottom to have Google now launch. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Make sure you actually have Google Now Launcher installed, and that you enabled Google Now.
If not, get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Thanks So my speculation was correct. A few sites said that the phone runs the Google now launcher by default. That does not appear to be the case as the play store will allow me to install it. Thanks for answering my question.
Verizon edition comes with Moto "Launcher 3"

Thanks.
This is odd. I was expecting to see the GNow launcher as well. I wonder why VZW needed it changed.
So from what i can tell phones using DSP chips will be able to use ok google now from stock android. Our Moto X's do use that for the Motorola assist features. Does this mean that android lollipop could help go around moto assist? I don't like the delays that Moto assist comes with, and getting to use Google now through stock would be amazing. They only mention that Nexus 6 and 9, will be able to use it, but i don't see why our phone wouldn't be able to.
It might be able to in theory, but is it possible to disable assist? Havent got the phone so i dont know lol

Yes, assist can be disabled. The problem is because assist and the files for it are installed, it disables one from saying "ok, google" and letting google now take over. Assist needs to be on if you want to do voice related things. Unless I'm missing something, I haven't found a way to allow google now voice commands to work with assist on or off

If you disable Moto Voice, Google Search "Ok Google" will work just fine....
I know if you turn moto assist off it will allow ok google hotword with the google launcher. So hopefully the files that allow lollipop to use dsp chip will be included in the software, so it doesn't have to be integrated into moto voice. Cant wait for Lollipop, had L with my Nexus and coming back to kitkat was like a slap to the face.

I know that on the 2013 X this did not work. There is an internal, hidden config flag in Google Search that lists the devices on which hotword detection is permanently disabled -- meaning that nothing you did to to moto touchless controls would help.
That being said, there is an app out there, UnleashTheGoogle, that will un-hide all of the hidden settings in Google Search and then you can just remove your phone from the blacklist (if the '14 X is in there)
So after the recent Moto Voice update, i can't get the Google Now hot word Detection to work at all. Going into Google Settings to try to train it to listen to me, it won't activate the mic at all to listen to me, completely refuses too. Plus, to top it off, Moto Voice now says "Opening Google" Whenever it is too retarded to be able to do what i want it to with my voice, which is ridiculous. I Force closed Moto Voice, and the google now search bar had the mic showing that it was ready for voice. (The filled in one.) but did not respond to Ok Google, and by the time i went to train it, Moto Voice had restarted. I might try freezing Moto Voice with Titanium and seeing if i can get google now to work then. All in all, this is disappointing as it stands.
Ok! So Freezing the Moto Voice app did it for me. (That or yelling ok google at my phone for 5-10 minutes in the training voice part of Google Now Voice Settings.) Regardless i can activate Ok Google again from any screen. Though, my Google Now Settings includes the check box for google searching from the Lock Screen, it doesn't seem to work. That might come with Lollipop proper... -crosses fingers.
Edit: It will allow it to Google Search from lockscreen , But not with sound off... that is the feature that might come with Lollipop.
Anyone know if the Nexus 6 will come with active listening similar to that of the Moto X? It's one of my favorite features about the Moto X.
Do not think of the device as Moto X think of the device as nexus...aka PURE AND COMPLETE stock android. So anything you love about the MOto X odd of you finding it on N6 (unless n6) has it own version, you wont see it.
Hope that answer your question
Aw that's a bummer. There are some Moto apps on the playstore. Hopefully they are usable on the Nexus 6.

Scroll to the bottom and click "SEE ALL FEATURES." Here's one of the things it says:
OK Google
Easy access to information and performing tasks
Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9
Talk to Google on the go to get quick answers, send a text, get directions and more
The nexus 6 will respond to 'Ok Google' when off. It says so right on the Android L features page.
It won't have any of the advanced listening features.

Other than the ability to set a custom listing phrase, what are the "advanced listening features"?

In regards to the texting thing. I hope they fix it to use GV number with hangouts. With the nexus 5 if I use voice commands to send a text it uses my carrier number. Same with virtually every other app that sends stuff auto via text messages,

This is already available with the Google Launcher on my S4 (so long as the phone is charging). Time will tell if this is available on the Nexus 6 from idle when it's not charging.
Hey everyone,
So I got my new Moto X yesterday and I have some questions, particularly with Moto Voice. After watching videos online, and reading some various articles/websites, I have been trying to various voice commands to see what happens . However, there are certain ones that are not being recognized. For example, whenever I say "Good Night", it just brings up a Google search instead of "putting my phone to sleep". Also, "Good Morning" brings up a Google search, and the one that I am really bummed doesn't work is, "Talk to me" where it supposedly reads your notifications aloud for a given amount of time. Anyone know if these commands got pulled from the build or if I'm just missing something?
Also, in the Accessibility settings, there is an option to turn on or off "Moto Voice". What is this setting changing, because it doesn't seem to be affecting anything?
Thanks for your help everyone!
1 more unrelated question, are you guys running your phones on ART or Dalvik?
I have the exact same issues with "goodnight /good morning" I can't get them to work no mate what I try.
Had these issues too..
Fix: simply update all the moto stuff via Playstore!
In the accessibility settings moto voice needs to be "on" for it to work properly..
Moto needs this to read from/control other apps! E.g. if you say "play mozart on youtube"..
Edit: In Playstore under "my Apps" you won't find those apps to update. Instead you have to search for "moto"! Seems to be a Playstore bug.

I updated all of the moto apps it still won't recognize the command goodnight or good morning
Edit: I was able to get the phrases to work by uninstalling the moto voice and re installing it. It now works without a problem

Uninstall moto voice and re install it after it's done restart the phone and see if that would solve it. If that still doesn't work i'm not sure how else it could be solved.
Does anyone know of a way to disable Moto Voice and simply use the voice wake to activate Google Now? Perhaps via an Xposed module?
Moto Voice, in it's current iteration is too slow and not value added enough for me to prefer it over Google Now. Plus, if I hear "Opening Google" one more time, I'm going to go crazy.

it's pretty simple: open the Moto App, tap the Settings button on top right, tap the Voice button/icon and uncheck the Launch phrase. you might have to setup up voice activation on Google Now. like you i prefer Google Now for the time being. hope this was helpful.:good:

That will disable the voice wake. I'm looking for a way to jump straight into Google Now anytime I say my Moto Voice launch phrase.
OK, yeah that's different. Interpreted that you wanted to just go to Google Now. With my suggestion, saying "OK Google" takes you to Google Now (vs your moto launch phase).

Do you have the pure edition or carrier? Pure if you root there is a way to do it, if its carrier and locked you can't, sorry. Hopefully Lollipop will make it possible too, Nexus 6 has ambient display to rip off active display, and will use the always listening chip it has to act like moto voice, but built into google now.

Thanks! Now I need to figure out if I want to root my phone now or wait for L and Xposed to run on ART.
Lollipop is supposed to be able to do ok google from screen off with phones using the always listening chips. The nexus 6 and 9 are supposed to use it with theirs. I'm still hoping that our moto's well be able to use it as part of stock android so i don't have to use moto voice at all. Only i don't know if they intend to add custom phrase support, which i could stand losing. Though i concur about ART xposed, that i can't wait for.
