Is it possible for the watch to detect Google Now without me turning the screen on first?
You can activate the "tilt to wake screen" option so you do not need to press anything ... just to flip your wrist and the watch will be awake => hot word detection active. There is no way to make it detect the "OK Google" stuff while asleep.

Hi guys,
I've noticed that Tap2Wake function is just too sensitive. It doesn't use proximity sensor so my phone can be woken up even in my pocket. When this happen, it does some stupid things like launching walkman etc.
The only way I see to prevent this happening is to set different lock screen type (PIN, password or pattern).
Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions to fix that?
Yeah I just got this phone and was excited to use this feature but also found that it was turning on and activating random applications while in my pocket. I don't like enabling the lock screen so I'll need to come up with another solution. I turned the feature off for now. I'm going to play around with Tasker to see if it can control turning the tap to wake function on and off. If so, I'll have it turn the feature off whenever the phone is turned upside down (which it always is while in my pocket) if that's even possible.
Hi there,
it's a few days that something is happening on my g watch R
even if "tilt to wake up" is disabled it wakes up continuosly showing "Ok Google".
I'd like to have the watch display turned off and i'd like to turn it on only manually.
got enabled "Turn off display" - got disabled "gestures".
any way to fix it?
am i missing something or doing something wrong?
I'm having the same issue. No idea how to fix it.
Any solution ever come up for this?
Did you reset it recently? If so, say "Ok Google" a few times to activate the voice recognition and have it stop 'advertising' the voice prompt to you. (Not sure if that 'voice prompt ad' wakes up the display, but it's worth a try.)
I'm having an interesting problem, and I've had this same issue with the n920C running OHx firmware, the N920I running OHx and OIx variants, and the N920I running a stock tmobile firmware.
I've enabled google's "okay google" detection, trained the voice, turned on "from the google app", turned on "from any screen" and turned on "trusted voice." At that point, I can be on any screen in the phone and if I speak "okay, google", it wakes up as expected.
As soon as my screen powers down, the voice detection stops working even when the phone is charging (both wireless and plugged in charging.) If I power back on the screen, "okay google" still won't work. If I unlock the phone manually (fingerprint), it still won't work. In fact, the google voice detection won't work again until I manually start the google app again (either via the app icon or press/hold the home button.)
The strange thing about this is that the google app is still running while the voice detection isn't working (as seen with various application managers and even the "smart manager" RAM tool.
It's as if something is turning off google's voice detect as soon as the screen turns off and not turning it back on.
I've had this same experience regardless of which version of the google app is installed, with all samsung apps running and enabled, immediately after a factory reset and only basic reconfiguration (so wiping data/cache isn't going to help), and also after disabling all "s voice" related samsung apps.
Can others please report if "okay google" detection works for them (or not) under the circumstances I've described? Even better, if someone had this problem and found a work-around, please let me know.
Thanks
Gary
I noticed the same issue a few times. However, even if it works, the screen won't fully unlock when you complete a voice command, which makes it basically useless.
EDIT: I meant accidental, not actual. in the title above. Oops.
Basically is there a way to "lock" my watch in ambient mode until I press the side button? I already have all gestures turned off so movement doesn't wake my watch but I don't like having to make sure my watch isn't resting against my leg while sitting or against my arm when my arms are crossed. I am open to rooting if that provides a resolution.
I don't know about locking it to only be in ambient mode, but I use the app "Showear" to screen lock the watch. The watch will still go in and out of ambient mode with a screen touch (or wrist movement if you have that gesture turned on), but the app will act like a keyguard until unlocked. The app is free and has enough config options for my use, allowing me to set a pattern of taps and swipes to disengage the lock and and a quick swipe up from the bottom locks the watch. There are also options to automatically engage the lock when going into standby and so forth. So while it's not quite what you are describing with using the side button, it is an easy option that has been working well for me.
Have you tried this?
Hey everyone. I previously used hotword detection all the time. On my old LG G2, I used the Nexus 5 mod to enable hotword detection from any screen. It only worked when the screen was on, which eliminates false-positives.
However, with the Nexus 6, I can only enable hotword detection on ALL THE TIME, even when the screen is off. It's extremely inconvenient due to the sheer number of false-positives I've encountered. I'll be listening to a podcast or music with the screen off. Even if the audio doesn't even resemble "OK Google," my audio will pause and I'll hear that trademark ping as my screen turns on, awaiting a command. How can I disable hotword detection when the screen is off?
It's trivial to turn the screen on before using it. It's annoying to have to dismiss the Google Now and then turn my screen off. Even if I could dismiss Google Now by saying "cancel" or "never mind", it still doesn't turn the screen off. I have to go and turn it off myself. Right now, my only option is to allow hotword detection from my homescreen but that's suboptimal. If I'm in an app and want to use it, I have to first tap-and-hold on the home button to bring up Google Now, then I say "OK Google."
I've been having this problem since 6.0. The thing is, I can say OK Google and sometimes hear the chirp but the screen doesn't kick on, but it's useless in most cases because I need the screen on to see directions or a phone number for a place I'm looking up. It's frustrating.

Those false positives were positively driving me batty as well. I managed to cut them down by going into a closet and performing three REALLY good recordings in Google Now hotword voice training.
There is something else to try: Benzo ROM is a custom Marshmallow ROM that has hotword detection from any screen (NOT always on). I can't link it in XDA, but if you were to Google "Benzo ROM" you'd find the Google+ community that has download links for the ROM. Good luck!
