I'm hoping I post this into the right forum. Please forgive me if it needed to be posted somewhere else.
I'm really high on the "OK Google" detection feature. Right now I'm using the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod (which I love) but the OK Google detection is broken. Even in the Google app, saying "Ok Google" does nothing, and when I try to set it up to work from any screen, it says "Can't use the microphone. Restart device." and doesn't recognize me saying Ok Google.
Has anyone found a non-Touchwiz rom with working OK Google detection?
I would use Touchwiz, but the lagging has become unbearable.

I fixed my own problem by regressing to the older Google version in:
gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip
I was using the 5-3 google apps.

Hi guys!
So let me explain my problem.... Before the Z1 I had the Z and I also have a Nexus 7.
The thing is I love Google Now, even I'm not in the US and not all functions works in my country, I still like it.
With my old Z and with the Nexus, I can open Google Now and it waits for me to say a hotword, in my case it's "Ok Google" or "Google", well that works in the Z1... But in my other 2 devices, after I asked a question, I get the answer, and I can right way ask another thing using the hotword again, and here is where the Z1 fails, after I get the answer, the microphone icon is kind of "disabled" and I need to tap on it to get Google Now to listen to me.
I have the latest firmware from Sony and updates for Google Search on Google Play installed, my phone is in English US, and of course the hotword detection option is On.
Does somebody knows a solution to this problem?

I've just tried it as well and it works perfectly fine for me. Maybe you didn't pronounce it clearly enough for Google Search to pick it up. Maybe try wiping your Google Search data.
Other than that, you might want to blur out where you work in that photo as currently, pretty much everyone who sees that pictures knows.
So I have a HTC One, and my girlfriend has a HTC One X. Our google search hotwords are different. Mine says "Say Okay Google" and hers says "Say Google". On top of that, mine allows for continuous searching (ie. say "okay google", search something, and repeat), whereas hers only can search once (ie. say "google", search something, then you have to press the voice button to search again. Is there supposed to be a difference ? Do certain devices contain different versions of Google Search ? If possible, can the continuous searching be activated somehow ?

That Google Now feature ''Ok Google'' is new in android 4.4 (on your HTC One). The HTC one X is still on android 4.3 and doesn't support this feature yet.

Are you sure ? I'm more talking about in the actual google search app. Not the homescreen stuff. Also, my One is running 4.3 with sense 5.5, and the One X is running 4.2.2 with sense 5. Both running stock roms. no modding at all.

Android 4.3 under Google Search tab: ''Google''
http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/
You can say "Google" to activate Voice Search from within Google Search.
Android 4.4 ''Ok Google''
http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
Don't forget your region/language must be set to US to activate ''OK Google''.

yes, i know that. but i'm running 4.3 on my One and i can say ok google to activate it.
so..
HTC One: Android 4.3 + Sense 5.5, able to say OK Google to activate, able to continue searching after each search
HTC One X: Android 4.2.2 + Sense 5, only able to say google to activate, cant say OK Google, only able to do once, not after a search
also..
Transformer Infinity: CM 10.2 (Android 4.3.1), only able to say google to activate, cant say OK Google, only able to do once, not after a search
so with the range of devices i have access to, i'm only able to use OK Google hotword for one of the devices. And with that device, i'm able to use the hotword again to search again while in the results of another search. the other two devices can only use the hotword from the initial google search screen.
what i really want to know is why i cant do continuous searches like i can from my HTC One.
Because they don't support it...yet

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.
I use ok google all the time to send texts especially when driving. frequently i am getting an error where she says
"actually, i can't do that while the device is locked" after unlocking with fingerprint it isn't recognized that the device is unlocked for some reason
it seems to be a MIUI problem as there is a huge thread http://en.miui.com/thread-274084-1-1.html
anyone know a solution?
also, one suggestion from Google is to just turn on Trusted Voice so that you can use the OK Google command when the device is locked. when i turn this on the OK Google command does not work and is not recognized no matter what screen i'm on let alone with the device locked
anyone ran into similar problems with the Mix?
I have a similar issue...If I disable lock pattern and then re-enable it it will work. A bit of hit and miss really. Would love a proper solution if there is one.

Same. I can't get it working from a black screen. My other devices will wake up and "listen". On the Mix, I have to activate the screen and then say ok google for it to listen. I did the resetting the lock screen and it did help get ok google to listen on the lock screen. So thanks for that.
I also have the same problem with the latest Google app but it works with version 4.92.16 except that I'm not able to use ok Google from screen off. I hope there's a solution to this
Not sure if i just haven't used OK Google enough yet, or if it has legit fixed the problem...but after converting google to a system app i have not run into this error yet with over 20 times using OK Google. we will see if it holds up.
did you have this problem before making it system app and went away after?
I figured this out.
Browse to Google App > Settings > Voice > "OK Google Detection" and enable "Personal results"
Kind of a workaround, since this allows actions when your device is locked, but works well for me.
I don't have that option for enable Personal results.
I only have
From the Google App
From Any Screen
Trusted Voice
While Driving
All four are enabled.
personal ressults has always been enable and still no joy.
I don't even have while driving.
Only three options.
I don't think it's a MIUI thing. It happens on my Google Pixel XL with the latest Nougat. Same message.
Hi,
Running on epic pro rom, latest instalment. Everything stable so far. But I can't get GA working properly. I'm on Google app beta, play services beta, cache cleared, English language.
The settings in Google app even look like it's installed. But I can't open it with "ok, google" (voice trained ok) and when I long press home nothing happens...
Anybody got it running?
Thx

Only got it working with xposed and GA module. Trying lineage OS it works but not from locked phone.
Just to be clear. With xposed and assistant enabler module you got it working from screen off? Cause I tried the said module in the mentioned ROM and it ain't working at all...

using xposed assistant enabler, i didn't make it work from screen-off without charger plugged in. tried several times, since the guide to enable it is tricky.
I am pretty sure it is a limitation of the chipset.
I had this same problem. I scratched my head after looking at the logs. The reason why it doesn't work is because the GMS (and other?) Google APKs were located on /data and not /System.
Move it to /system and it should work.

Can't remember properly what I did but definitely worked, MIUI tweak I think is also needed so you can properly add trusted voice.

Oops signed in with Google+
Working for me on the global rom from screen on. Go to the google app, settings, voice, "ok google" detection. Train it, if you havent, and enable the top two options (the third will then be enabled by default). Then, never open that section again. The next time you open it, it will switch back off - but it should be working if you enable the options then exit the google app. Works for me, even survives a reboot.
