Ok Google on Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any problem with "Ok Google" on Z1? It does not react when the phone is locked (in standby or even on but locked). This works seamlessly on my Asus Transformer TF701T. Settings on both devices is same.

Have you enable this setting in the "Google Now Launcher" settings, not the xperia home settings, I can't remember exactly which one it is, but it should be under the 'Voice' Settings. It works as I have already tried it.

I don't want to install the Google Launcher. Do I really have to? I don't have it on my other device where everything is fine.

Just install it, set it up and then uninstall it as far as I am aware the feature still exist or really you could just install it, but do not switch to google now, just stay on xperia home.

Ok, I'll try it. I will uninstall it then as I don't want to mess up the device. What the heck is different on the Z1? I'll let you know if it worked.

So I have installed the Google Launcher, went to Settings but the settings are the same as voice settings in OS itself. This did not help, "OK Google" still works only when the phone is on and unlocked...

Everything works after Lollipop upgrade

Google hotword only works on home screen

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.

OK Google - PROBLEMS

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.

Google Assistant working?

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.

Google assistant not working

After 3 weeks of use, it takes this time to have the Nex3 in good shape, I still have some minor problems like Edison Mail It does not show the number of unread emails in the icon, Twitter freezes when you try to open a link in Brave ...
But the most annoying thing is that Google Assistant does not work well. When I invoke it saying "ok Google" with the unlocked phone sometimes works and sometimes not. I have checked the voiceprint, permissions, I have installed Google services ... Any idea what may be failing?
For me google assistant works fine. No Problems Here. Only Google Pay wont work.
For the not showing Numbers try to change the permissions within the system. I need to manually change it for popups and notifications. The vivo Launcher Blocks anything.

Is the launcher still something like bbk.launcher in adb? I remember doing that with my original nex. I really like this phone so far and having Nova I'd be a happy man haha

yeah you have to remove the stock one after had installed third party one .
You can always re-enable the stock one by using adb . Just tried successfully...

Now I just have to figure out my other issue, I can't get this phone to cast to my Chromecast which is weird
Is google pay working for anyone? and are there any apps that don't work or work correctly?

Question Keyboard and voice typing issues on Android 12

I upgraded the S21 ultra to Samsung 12.
When I did it wouldn't let me use siwftkey keyboard, voice typing, and I lost the google voice features.
I played with every in language input I could find. Nothing worked.
I went to apps and I uninstalled Google back to factory settings. Then everything worked fine. I even turned off Google updates in play store so I can use voice typing and bluetooth voice dial.
Overnight for whatever reason it all stopped working again. I updated Google, it didn't work, and then uninstalled it again and it worked.
There has to be some trick I am not figuring out because it should work without having to uninstall Google. Any advice would be appreciated.
use other keyboards for now
It did the same for the Samsung keyboard.
I don't think it is a keyboard issue. I think it is something with Google. I'm far from an expert but that's what it seems. I just don't know the work around.
Am I lucky to not have received the update yet? Anyway, I would troubleshoot this by doing a backup first. Then trying to use Safe mode.
Maybe even go back into recovery and clear the cache.
The end game would be a factory reset.
That's if you're impatient like me.
I restarted the phone and everything is now normal

go to settings > apps > enable show system apps > search for "speech services by google" > turn it on if it's disabled
I am having the exact issue after the update to Android 12. Microphone works on calls but "hey Google" does not respond, voice recorder doesnt hear my voice, keyboard voice input doesnt work. Did a factory reset still no luck. Checked "speech services by google" and it is enabled.....What to do? If I could get into the secret menu and check my microphones (I understand there are 3 of them) I would but no secret codes seem to work. Help!

I won't "take advantage" of the update yet, every other post reflects users having issues with Android 12 One UI 4.0. No excuse for releasing this version with so many glitches.

Try using the diagnostic test. It's under. Battery and device care. It tests all sensors and stuff.
thank you so much!! I never saw that area! It confirmed that mic1 is not working.
