Yes of course, try it - it'll replace the old gtalk app though

I probably deserve to get flamed for this one but....
Is there an indicator somewhere that tells you if the person you are sending a message to is actively logged in? I used to use the chat feature built into Gmail and it would place a green dot next to the people who were online.

Not really. Some people are saying that the greyed out contacts are the offline ones, but comparing between 'hangouts' on my tablet and gtalk on my phone, that doesn't appear to be accurate.
Pretty annoyed by this app. Talk was perfect, and it was a staple of both the desktop and mobile Google experience. And now they've stripped it of some of its most useful features.
It reeks of yet another effort to push us all onto their ****ty social network.

Yeah I agree with you on that one, everything is moving towards Google+.
Which, in all honesty, wouldn't be so bad. The G+ app is really slick, just not much use for me since most of my friends are using other social media sites.

Thanks!!

Its their new approach they aren't gonna change it. Some kind of watermarks appear based on the level of activity - though i haven't figured out how that works yet

I updated it successfully but just cant sign in it failing over & over again, does it not work on 2.3.6 gingerbread?

^yes it does work on gb for sure but are you on a custom rom?

Ya they did take some actually all useful features from us the online indicator to see whos online away or off there device which is nice so ur not waking people up for a video call or message, Cant merge contacts the same any more or delete them as u could with google talk. It seems like there trying to make it like apples face time which has its own ups and downs but is a lot simpler so i kinda understand linking the phone numbers and stuff but why push this BS feature less app out to all of us with android without having it perfect all this did was set everyone on android back not forward so far

Is there a way to install Hangouts without deleting Gtalk? Or to ban this particular update?

Doesn't work.
Here's the working way: disconnect Talk from Google Play with Titanium Backup. Now it won't update and you won't have to install Hangouts.
Update: no, it doesn't. Everything is back after rebooting.

Trouble with "Ok Google" Always On

[Original Post]
"Ok Google" works fine for me when the phone is on/unlocked without any training. However, to have it work even when the screen is off or the phone is locked it requires training your voice. For the life of me I can't get it to accept the training. It wants to record you saying "Ok Google" three times and it will move on to the second and third recordings after a previous recording is successful. I can't get it to move past the first recording. It just listens for a while and then times out. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on how to resolve it?
[Update 1]
Clearing Google Search data made voice training quick and easy, but my option to have it always on has disappeared. See my post below. Thoughts?
[Update 2]
I just rebooted the phone and my "always on" option has returned but it wants me to retrain my voice. Now I can't get past the first recording again...

I don't have that issue. Voice training went off without a hitch. Did you go to a quiet place like the instructions said?

Thanks for the response. Yes, I was in a location with no sound.
Since posting the original post I found this thread where someone suggested clearing Google Search app data. I tried it and voice training was quick and easy. However, I don't seem to have the option for this to work with the screen off anymore. I can only do it when the screen is on, locked or unlocked.
Here is what the options used to look like (not my screenie, I just found this image on the web, probably from an N9 or something):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now here is what my screen looks like:
I no longer have the "always on" option. One step forward, one step backward.

@Marcellus1 I see that no one has offered any help here and I can't either. My N6 has the issue that your first picture shows. I am running Validus 5.0.1 alpha 1.0 Rom. I have read that this is an issue with all AOSP ROMs right now but there isn't very much being discussed about it. If you find a solution, please let me know. If I find one I'll definitely post it here.
The odd thing is that my my N5, N7(2013) and N9 all have this feature working flawlessly, all running Lollipop. My N6 is the only device with issues and I have tried 3 different ROMs as well as several different gapps packages to try to solve it to no avail.

you can try this thread, as thats what fixed my ok google everywhere and with screen off and unplugged http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
btw, im on rastapop.

I appreciate the replies. It seems that the fix is only a 50-50 chance of working AND it requires a custom ROM. I'm on stock, no root, no custom recovery, no anything special. I'll probably switch to a custom ROM at some point, but for now I don't think I'm ready to make the switch. One post mentioned in that thread referenced this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57335716&postcount=295
The suggestion is to clear search and play data in order for the changes to survive a reboot, but that you lose the option for always on while not plugged in. That doesn't seem optimal either. Word is Android 5.1 due out in February or so will address "Ok Google" issues, which hopefully means this issue. Maybe I'll just sit tight until 5.1 rolls out before trying factory resets, custom ROMs or the like.

I had a Pressy inserted into my headphone port. Ok Google worked fine on the homescreen with the Pressy inserted, but it would not work with the voice training with the Pressy installed. If i did the voice training without the Pressy, then put the Pressy in, Google Now still worked ok on the homescreen, but not with screen off.
EDIT: I am rooted on stock ROM.

That's interesting. I've had a pressy in my headphone jack. When I try training my voice with Pressy inserted, the phone just endlessly listens and eventually times out. When I removed it and tried voice training again I immediately got "something went wrong" and "It's a little too noisy in here. Please find a quieter place and try again". (and I'm in a quiet place).
[EDIT]: As a follow-up, I've uninstalled Pressy and the AutomateIt Pressy plugin. I've cleared my search data, and installed the new Google (search) app (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/07/google-app-hits-version-4-1-now-cards-settings-apk-download/), but still no luck training my voice.

Thanks for your suggestion but it did not work. I saw your suggestion previously and put it off because I didn't want to have to root my device. However, after getting the updated google (search) app today and it still not working, I decided to give it a go. Unlocked the device, rooted it, etc, then copied the files mentioned in your solution to the appropriate locations. Rebooted the device and now my "always on" feature is grayed out and disabled--it says this feature is currently unavailable for this language. The language is set to English (US). I cleared the search app data and was able to train the device immediately, but it was just like my post above where the always on is limited to when the screen is on and unlocked or when charging. Rebooting the phone and/or re-installing the updated google (search) app (because I lost it during the rooting process) takes me back to "this feature is currently unavailable for this language".
[EDIT]: I was looking through that thread some more and saw that some were having some success with flashing the zip by hlxanthus that was a little bit different from the original suggestion. I took my root a step further and installed a custom recovery and then flashed hlxanthus's zip. There is no change.
[EDIT 2]: As a follow-up to the previous edit, after flashing hlxanthus's zip, clearing search data no longer makes a change to enable voice training.

Thank you very much for the update! I was still having the issue and just forgot about it. I was thinking about trying out the 5.1 update but just haven't gotten around to it.

Me too, does not work with marshmallows, you have found a solution?

works fine on marshmallow over here. i even taught it to listen for ok nexus instead of ok google.

Do you have Now on Tap or Smart Lock enabled? Some people have reported that these cause issues with hot word detection.

This Feature is Broken Again!!!
I've noticed this is broken on Android N. I often clean install custom ROM and then the latest OpenGApps only to find that when I toggle on OK Google "Always On" the toggle instantly turns itself back off the moment I turn it on. There's some work arounds on the forums and I can usually make it work by Installing and old version of the Google App clearing all data for Google App then training voice model and setting OK Google "Always On" toggle to "On". Then after everything is working I go ahead and update Google App from Play Store and usually it keeps working. Sometimes it breaks again. I'm tired of working around this. I wanna know if it will ever again be possible to use this feature. This has been going on for months. Perhaps they should just remove the feature all together then at least it won't be there broken and useless.

[Q] Ok Google Everywhere option gone

I had this option turned on and was using it just a few hours ago. After restarting my phone, OK Google no longer works from anywhere except the Google app and the option in the settings is completely gone. Does anybody have any idea what may have caused the option to go away?

Same issue with me and its annoying.

Same issue here. Thought I was going crazy.

Same here, but I just bought it 12 hours ago. Been trying to make it work since.

Whoops, just realized this is in the T-Mobile forum. I've got an AT&T Edge, same problem.

I found a work around with using the Nova Launcher. There is an okay Google option as you'll see with the attachment that works for me on any screen that I'm on. You have to have the premium version I think not sure about that but anyways for what it's worth

I believe it may have something to do with new Google play services that was just pushed. Option was enabled, but, when updated GPS to 7.3.28, function stopped and option disappeared.

Same here
Since Friday evening I've been going through every single setting on my S6 Edge. I had the phone since April 4th, where I had ok google everywhere, but not "trusted voice" in the Smart Lock settings. I restored my phone 2 times now, thinking the first restore got rid of Ok Google Everywhere. I now see others are having the same issue which is great!

I don't know if this has anything to do with it but check the version of Google Play Services. Last week Android Police posted an article about 7.3.27 and I saw their caution that you need to make sure you grab the right version for your device -- http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/ details how to decipher the salient version into. On my stock S6, I have -440 so I didn't update. Now, today, I see I've got 7.3.28 (1863718-440) -- It seems the 440 is an important part. So, I'm more current than the version in the Android Police article I cited and I have Trusted Voice and OK Google everywhere.

I just downloaded 7.3.28 (-440) and still do not have access to Ok Google Everywhere, also Trust Voice is still "off" no matter what.

another setting also vanished.
Lost OK Google from any screen yesterday. Checked settings and the only option is "From Google App". No any screen and no Trusted voice settings. ALSO noticed another setting that vanished. In phone settings the option to "turn off screen during calls" is gone. Now during phone calls my screen turns off, which I really don't want and I can't find a setting to uncheck it.

voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle

It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.

Google Keyboard and Censoring Bad Language

Google Voice Typing and Censorship of my potty mouth.. So I have all of the settings configured to not block offensive language on both the Google keyboard settings and the Google voice typing settings within language and input on my Pixel 4. Is there a setting I'm missing because every time I say a curse word I still get the crazy asterisks

Note 10 plus too lol can't stop it , shows bad words in voice assistant tho

Did you disable it in the text correction sections of the Gboard app? I had to re enable it and disable it to get it to work.

I'm cursing just fine here. [emoji23]
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Omg this is happening to me now too. For years I've had no problem and now it's censoring my curse words. I disabled options that block curse words in both texting and voice text through Gboard but it still replaces curse words with ***
Since changing the options do not give a different result my assumption is this is somehow server side with Google

Oddly enough as you get older you tend to like cursing less and less, at least as a crutch instead of actually having a vocabulary. Still sometimes nothing quite works as well as a proper curse; an interesting tidbit is that the one that starts with F is the word most taken from the English language and used by others in their language with OK as a distant number 2. All that being said I'd try adding them to the dictionary, this got it working for me although it's kind of a work around. Not that I curse. Ok, maybe a little here and there...

Cleared app data completely and set it up from scratch and it's still censoring. It's really annoying and inconvenient but also I'm glad this is the only problem I've had with my pixel. Some people have had much bigger and worse issues. I hope whatever it is does get sorted soon.

You have to disable it in the Google App under voice and then under Gboard as well. Under Gboard it's under text correction, unselect Block offensive words and it works now.

Yup have both ticked to the off position. Also, I was saying earlier how I've had this phone for months and it worked without problems for the majority of my ownership of the phone and I haven't changed any Gboard options since setting the phone up but it just all of a sudden one day decided it was going to start censoring everything. Annoying AF

I had it randomly start doing this. Toggling the censorship on and back off didn't work. Clearing data for gboard and setting everything up again did fix it. Back to freedom of speech.

I am not going to read all of the threads in here, but the culprit seems to be Faster Voice Typing. Turn it off and things should be ****ing wonderful for you again. Seems to have started around April 20, 2020. Again, make sure you have "Block Pottymouth Words" disabled, and I think there are like three places you'll need to check.

OK Google not working correctly

When I say OK Google, the Assistant opens, but the the mic does not seem to recognize any additional command.
But when I open the Assistant from the power button, it works flawlessly.
Yes I set up the phone from scratch and yes I tried the several suggestions in www to uninstall Google app updates or delete cache and data from it.
Anyone else?

Hi yes I am having the same issue . I say ok google it activates but like the mic not activated and it doesn't hear anything . if I activate it any other ways works fine . Its so freaking annoying it doing my brain in

I have a very similar problem with my X5 Pro. Sometimes the Google assistant UI has a glowing coloured bar,will work fine but without any audio responses but most of the time the UI has the four dots that will wake on "Hey Google" but then stop listening.

Same problem here only work if i click on the dots to talk. Anyone found a solution for this?

I'm also having the exact same issues with my phone. For such an expensive phone, it's really quite embarrassing.

It's working for me when enabling voice match in settings. It works when screen is off, on lock screen and elsewhere like expected!
Try enabling it in
settings > Google > settings for Google apps > search, assistant and voice > google assistant > hey Google and voice match
I found when voice match is off, it doesn't work anymore to say ok Google anywhere.
You can also configure power button to toggle assistant.
Let me know if you need any help!

I have it enable, i tried to turn of and on and retrain voice (BTW if i have portugues at primary on my list "retrain" option doesn't even appeard for some reason, had the same problem on my OP7Pro, i need to config like English UK to the option appear again) and still doesn't work, i say ok google and i still need to press the 4 dots. is a strange thing...

The google assistant settings as far as I can see are actually all set correctly. The Assistant will respond to the Hey Google command, but will fail to actually listen after the "bloop" sound. Interestingly, you can say "Hey Google" and immediately continue what you are saying and you can actually get the assistant to listen to the first few words before it cuts out.
The issue is therefore relating to the microphone cutting out after the hot word is said.

Of course the settings are as they have to be to make it work. There are also users in german forums that report the same problem.
Opened a case at Oppo, currently it's under investigation in the dev department.
I encourage everyone with the same problem to contact your local Oppo e-mail-Support an explain the problem.

I've found a solution, but I suspect it may only be temporary.
I changed the permission for the mic in the google app to ask every time. I then open the google app and manually trigger the google assistant which causes the permission prompt to appear. I then set it back to while using the app and it's been working normal for me since then
Edit: Google Assistant no longer works when screen is off and messes up again after restart. This is so annoying -.-

Sadly nothing found I received an email from oppo telling me to change my assistance language to Australia done that still not working it's like the microphone does not activate when you say OK Google here's the command but then the mic disengages it's really really frustrating

Gave up and factory reset the phone. Did not bother transferring data and the Google assistant is behaving like normal on the reset phone.im going through the process of bringing everything back, but it's nice to have the assistant back
So I was setting up the phone again and the issue returned. I was insanely frustrated so I went and reset system settings only before factory resetting again to see if that would fix the problem. It actually did.
So I set out to find what was causing the assistant to mess up and I found the culprit.
I use Bitwarden and I get it to autofill password prompts. To get it to work everytime, I enable all the accessibility options. It turns out that giving Bitwarden accessibility privileges actually stops the Google assistant from behaving like normal! Enabling them and revoking them fixes and breaks the assistant, so if you are using Bitwarden or any other app that uses those settings, try turning it off.

Hi there, You're the man, so any app that we have with Accessibility ON cause this issue, in my case i have Bitdefender that uses this and Refresh Rate Switcher.
This is a shame tho :\

Man this actually works!!! Thanks!
The culprit: You have to deactivate every app that uses accessibility services (in my case Bitwarden, Tasker, Nova Launcher and Autonotification app).
Will give that info to my support ticket.

Hello, I have the Chinese version. I Can't even enable the option for "Hey Google"/"Ok Google". Does anyone know how to activate this? Thanks!

So, anyone with a working Google Assistant AND activated accessibility privileges for an app in accessibility options?
Contacted support with it 1 1/2 months ago, 2 updates later and heard nothing. Still crap.

You mean the Android update for your X5? Ive had several updates for my RealME GT 2 pro .... still didn't fix ...
this issue is through multiple devices.

My mom had the same issue w/ her X5 Pro . Downloaded the latest betaapks for the Google app and Google Play services from ApkMirror. Once installed, it solved her issues (enabled French - France and English US as main languages)
