I installed nova launcher and went to settings and enabled Google voice but it won't work. I can't even get it to set up the voice recording where you say OK Google three times. It's like the microphone is off. However Moto works just fine. Am i missing anything by not having it work? Is it disabled by Moto being enabled? Cab you use both at the same time?
If you have moto voice enabled, it bypasses the ok Google on Google now. Both don't work at the same time.

Just a PSA for all you guys. If you go into the google search settings, tap voice, enable audio history, then set up the OK google training, there's an option for having it listen when the screen is off.
This basically works by using s voice to set up the OK google command, then instead of launching s voice when the command is heard, it launches google now. It works pretty seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) as good as the Moto X.
Good to know. Is this on a tmobile device?

Should be any Snapdragon device, but yes, I have a TMO device.
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.
Is there a way to get this feature working like it does on the Nex6?
Currently (with all the Moto crap disabled) I can only get this functionality while plugged in.
Did they kill the feature in the lollipop build so we'd be forced to use their junkie Moto Voice hand-off system?

I can't speak for the specific version of Google Search that you have, but for versions on the '13 X, they have hotword detection completely disabled.
It turns out there is an internal flag to blacklist devices from turning on the option. I think more recently the version on the 13 allows hotword but does not allow the "from any screen" nor "while screen is off" options.
You used to be able to edit the flags with "unleash the google" But I don't know of this still works and it no longer maps all the settings to their names (meaning you just see config 1 config 2,etc)
OK Google works from any screen and while device off.
Make sure OK Google Detection is turned ON for any screen and off.
You prefer Google voice search over Moto Voice? Why?

Do you have a link to a source/video showing that this works on the Moto X 2014?

Because the response is much faster without the Moto middleware. I'm pissed that they disabled it. Why shouldn't I have a choice???

I recently flashed my XT1096 with CM13, and replaced the stock launcher with Nova Prime as I usually do. However after enabling the "OK Google" hotword in Nova Launcher, and enabling the "OK Google" hotword in the Google Now app, I still can't seem to trigger it with the hotword outside of the home screen. I haven't been able to find anything about why this isn't working, so hopefully someone can shed some light...
Same thing for me on stock unrooted 5.0 and 6.0.
Don't know when or why it stopped working, but it led me to turn Moto Voice back on.

That's great and all but if I do that then cyanogen mod will stop giving support on issues. Besides, this is an option built into the Google app and nova launcher. It works with the launcher when on the desktop but not on any screen like the Google app says it should do.
It doesn't work on stock either. The phone is expecting you to use Moto Voice and for some reason that causes the Google Now voice recognition to take a back seat.
Hi, I am having trouble with my google assistant, I am not able to use voice search from screen, also it is not retaining my voice.

You tried to update the Google app? I also spent that and that was the solution.
Same problem here
I am also facing the same problem.
I tried everything and it isn't working.
Updating app doesn't solve the problem.
It is only working when I downgrade Google app to factory version. If then again I update the app it's not working
I do have the same problem but not always. Sometimes it recognize my voice sometimes won't. I retained my voice for several time but no use.
Mine is also working but the chances are 1% only
