I don't know if this was something I've done within a app or setting but can anyone confirm that since latest Samsung update and Google search update that this option is now missing to be able to use ok Google when plugged in and phone is locked

I've lost "Ok Google" detection everywhere outside the Google Search app.
I guess that would be the same for me if I wasnt using nova launcher and have google detection clicked in settings of nova

Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.
Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!
I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....

Hi I've tried searching but no answer found, although others have asked. Using Latest MacKay KK 4.1.1 and I am unable to use google now via swype from left. Voice search works. I think the issue is related to an issue I had on a 4.3 Rom where I had to uninstall updates from Google Search and then update via app but unable to do that on KK.
Any solutions?
you must log in in search settings with your Google Account.
then you can activate Google now with swype from left
this works only in the google launcher
As far as I can see I'm logged in. I'm using gel launcher but of I try to open the search app I get a network error. When I had this on 4.3 ROMs I could delete updated from search open search and then update. I'll check settings again and thanks for the reply

It seems very hit and miss, some N5 users have the issue some don't it looks to be related to Google account settings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dumz1opCfuE&feature=youtu.be Try this ROM. Google Now runs fine.
Found a fix of sorts; set up a new Google account on my phone in addition to my normal account and signed in to Google now using that. I read somewhere that there may be a problem with certain Google accounts causing this

Have one vug Bug!
UnleashTheGoogle doesnt work on L Preview ROM (Nexus 5)
When open > it put phone to soft reboot > booting > Android is updating... > booted > no changes
Or just install normally from Play Store and turn the option on. No BS
I used unleashthegoogle, and debugging options are available.
But it seems that google removed the flag descriptions, I got only id 1 up to id 303, but no description of the flags.
Any suggestions?

Enable id:199, scroll down, hit save config settings.
Go to home screen and hit the search bar once.
Now you will get the option for ok Google everywhere.

Hello s0ullight,
thank you for your answer. But the problem is that I am in Germany and I use german as language.
Id 199 is already enabled, but I'm searching for the flag named
speaker_id_supported_locales to insert "de-DE".
As I wrote, I miss the captions from flags.

" Do not use on L" lol I'm still using this on the lollipop preview images and it still works a treat (only downside is that google hid the id names)
Ok,
I found a solution for my problem without unleash the google.
I just put english as standard in google search and german as second language.

Does any flag by any chance disable the permanent search bar on the homescreens?

On My Samsung Galaxy S5 901F with Android 4.4.4, I've already id 199, 201, 202, 204.

But it doesn't work...
How do you restore these settings in case of bad modification?
Thanks

I try also in id 191 to replace "en-US" with "fr-FR"
I could after enabled options, but in learning recognition, it hangs after the third "Ok, Google".
So the best solution for me is to activate english UK in principal language but it forces me so say "ok, google " with an english accent .
Got a strange issue on my Opti 4X
When i go into Play Store and try and access the 'my apps' section I get a

I have the same problem and have read online that others have it too.
One work-around is instead of clicking on the button, swipe left to right, that will show the same menu as the button without crashing the app.
Yes, i have the same issue Google Play; regardless of what function it is presenting at the time (back, menu etc) the softkey in the top left corner of the Play screen causes the app to crash. It is very frustrating to say the least but as I see it the only viable solution seems to be to swipe left and right as mentioned above and wait for the next update from Google as it appears to be very much a bug in the app rather than any problem with the phone itself. I have a Nexus 7 also so I will check sometime and see if there are any issues with that (I use the Nexus mostly as an alarm clock and e-reader so it does not go online much therefore there will be just about every app to update including Google Play before I can report back).
I know my reply does not offer anything new or provide much help but at least you know that it is not caused by the phone and you can avoid wasting more time with backups, restores and factory resets etc.
Ok peoples, I have found this elsewhere in the XDA forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lg-optimus-jelly-bean-play-store-fix-t2852146
I will give it a go at some point over the weekend and let you know if it makes any difference
I installed the Xposed module in the above post and hey presto, Google Play doesn't crash out when you press the top left soft key

Not sure if this is now new but before while driving with maps open and I say ok Google it would operate in the maps app with the search at the top but since I recently updated if I say ok Google now it doesn't stay in maps it opens the Google app and I have to say ok Google again really annoying. Is there a way to get it back. Thanks.
Can you check 'Ok Google detection' in Navigation Settings in Maps Settings once?
