It's working again from any screen. Update under Playstore, then go check under "Settings->Lock Screen & Security->Secure Lock Settings->Smart Lock->Trusted Voice".
I do not seem to have 'Secure Lock Settings' under there. Hmmmmm

You can accomplish the same thing using the "Google Settings" app (gray cog icon) and selecting Search&Now -> Voice -> "OK Google detection"
Turn on "From any screen" at that point, and follow the rest of the prompts.
Trusted voice is a superset of the "OK Google" detection, and is used to unlock your phone using your voice.

Does the S5 do the Always Listening with the screen off like the Moto X?
As in, while the screen is off you can say 'OK Google Now' or 'Hi, Galaxy' and get S Voice or Google Now to open?
Thanks!

Don't think so, unless there's another setting. Just tried on my S5 and Google only works if you in the homescreen, not sure about S Voice.

Dang. There might be a setting for S Voice to turn on Hotword Detection maybe?
Even if only S Voice works, there are apps to replace it with Google Now which would be fine by me!
From what I can tell from messing around with the S5, the "OK Google" hotword only works when you have the Google search bar on your homescreen. You take that bar off and it stops working. Other than that, I haven't been able to find any setting to enable it while the screen is off or without the google bar, unfortunately.
According to this article you can use S Voice with the screen off, it's not working for me though. Anyone else get it to work?
"Use S Voice Without Touching the Galaxy S5
Samsung includes S Voice on the Galaxy S5 as a Siri competitor that can perform many actions. Normally you double tap the home button to access this S Voice, but you can set it up to respond to a command even when the display is off.
Open S Voice – Tap on the Settings icon in the upper right -> Choose Settings -> Voice Wakeup On -> tap on Voice Wakeup to set the wake up command."

Yeah, it let me customize the phrase - so it seems like it should work. I couldn't even get it to work with the screen on though, so I'm wondering if I'm not doing something quite right.

I have the AT&T varianT and no luck unless I'm inside the s voice app (having double clicked the get in)
When I enable the "OK Google" voice command in the settings, there are usually options to enable the command from any screen, however that option is not present on my Z3c. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks
QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG HERE.
That being said, what you ask of is there. go to google search settings, click on voice, go to ok google detection. from there, check from any screen box, and it'll have you repeat ok google 3 times to learn your voice. then on, it's from any screen.
Sorry about the question.
As I stated in the post, the option "from any screen" does not appear on my settings.
This is a picture of the screen I come to in the settings.
is it in English?

Yes, it is.
Hi
You can try setting your phone language to US English and updating the Google Search app. It may appear then.
Alternatively you can download an app called OpenMic+ which may help...
I have the option on my phone and it works...problem is when you enable it the stock camera app sees it as an app that is using the mic all the time and it shows an error. there is currently no fix

Turns out the app needed an update, figured the brand new phone would have the latest update!
Thanks
Just to note, even if the application is updated, if it has never been opened, it still wont offer the option to listen from any screen, unless you run the application at least once.
Has anyone turned on the Screen off "OK Google" ? Does it seem to kill the battery faster then when its off?
The screen off "OK Google" doesn't appear to be implemented yet.
Odd.
From https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6031948?hl=en:
Make sure you have the latest version of the Google app. (To get the latest version, go to the Google app page on the Play Store and touch Update).
Open the Google app .
Touch Menu Menu > Settings > Voice.
Touch “Ok Google” detection.
Check the boxes next to "From Google app" and "Always-on."
Follow the instructions to teach Google what your voice sounds like.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no "Always-on" option displayed in my settings, just "From Google Search app", "From any screen" and "When locked".
Is anyone else seeing this? Are we waiting for them to roll it out on an account by account basis, or are we waiting for a Google Search app update?
http://www.computerworld.com/article/2848834/android-50-lollipop-features.htmlThere is another way though "settings" and "language and input". Let me see if I can find it. Not sure. This may take you to the same place. Head into your system settings, tap "Language & input" and then "Voice input," then tap the gear icon next to "Enhanced Google services" and look for a line labeled "'Ok Google' Detection."
Tap it, then tap the line labeled "Always on"*

We shall see if this kills the battery
Motorola put the same exact contextual processor inside the phone, so it should drain battery in the same manner as the Moto X.

This is from Ars Technica review :
Like the Moto X before it, the Nexus 6 has an always-on voice feature that works even when the screen is off. The Nexus 6 has a dedicated digital signal processor (DSP) that handles the "OK Google" hotword recognition, which allows the main processor to save power while the phone is off

Upon boot up I had to enter my password and in recovery. It stopped doing that, why? What did I change? I'd like to have it back.
settings>security>screen lock>select pin pattern or password>screen should pop up saying "Secure startup." Select require pin for start. Accessibility services can make this feature unusable.

Most likely it was smart lock. I cant say for sure as I no longer bother with lockscreens.
it is because of this

Ok I was able disable the OK google and it only listen when I press the mic icon. Now no matter what I do in the google app settings it's always listening. My only current option is to disable microphone permissions which isn't what I want since I can't press the mic icon and speak.
I had it setup on the note8 with android 9 to only listen when the mic icon is pressed. Got the note 9 did the same settings and it still responds when I say OK or hey google.
Currently have the microphone permissions disabled since my phone does NOT need to listen all the time. Is there a setting I am missing?
I had to remove the Google search widget to stop it from always listening. It is stupid that they removed the option to simply turn it off.

Exactly. Disable the "Google" app improve the memory and battery usage, imo
Interesting, I disabled the Google app for about 30 minutes and could not use voice with chrome so turned it back on. The mic permissions are enabled but OK google is now disabled yet I can push the mic icon and use voice for searching again.
So its exactly how I want it but a very strange way to get there. I have no clue how this worked but it did.
Well after a restart and about 20 minutes it went back to listening.
That's odd - it's definitely off on mine, but I can't find where I deactivated it! I use Nova Launcher, and there is an option in the Settings under 'Gestures and Inputs' to disable 'OK Google hotword' - maybe that's how I did it? But 'OK Google' doesn't work anywhere on my Note 9 (did this to save battery and because I have a Google Home & Mini).
EDIT: And I do have the Google App installed.
Not sure what's going on. Google runs me around when I tired to ask them. I know exactly where the setting is and its disabled but still listens for the "OK google "
Personally I would love someone with influence to get attention to this but it seems a little hit or miss on setups so not sure. I have the mic disabled.
I did do a really stupid test if my device was listening and used let's say red flag words to see if anyone was listening. Ironically the words I used are related to an event happening in my city which was horrible timing on my part but semi proved to me no one heard it.

Yes that works. The only thing I don't want is it to disable voice in chrome app which this does.
The settings to disable OK Google are there but don't function and google themselves either don't understand what I am saying or don't want to admit the setting doesn't function as it should.

It's not easy to find the option to turn off the Google assistant, but it's there.
Settings > apps > (three dots menu) default apps > device assistance app
You'll want to change "device assistance app" to "none" and then "voice input" to "Google". The you should be all set.
To go a step further, you can disable the Google assistant from running at all on your device.
Google app > "more" (lower right hand corner) > settings > Google assistant > assistant
Then, at the bottom you should see "assistant devices" with "phone" listed. Select phone and then toggle Google assistant off.
This should do the trick.

I was able to do the first part of device assistant app to none. The voice input option doesn't allow me to pick just google option.
Either way this has solved my issue and is now working they I want it to. Going to try a restart and see if it persists unlike my previous attempt.
Thanks again for finding this.
I like having the search widget and be able to type or voice input my search if I don't know how to spell something. With all the news of companies admitting they listen and record voice stuff having my device always listening is very unsettling. I guess it's a little paranoid but I live in a bad part of my city and I really don't want to be red flag because I walked by a drug deal which happens all to often.
That's strange, because that exactly what it should do when you disable Voice Match, since it is said that's it's actually the "anywhere OK Google listening".
Try deleting your voice imprint on the same setting page too maybe.
I wonder why is working fine on my phone and not on others.
