I updated my Moto X to kit kat yesterday and now my hotword detection doesn't work on the home screen or within Google now. I have the nexus 5 home launcher installed and fear it could be part of the issue, but it worked fine in jelly bean so I don't know why it wouldn't work here.
Anyone else having this issue?

I can safely say it's not the new home launcher. I've been running that for awhile now and both the motorola detection and the google detection work fine (i.e., I can say "okay google now" at any time, or say "okay google" when the device is already woken.)
I haven't done the kit kat upgrade though

I'm having the same problem.
"Ok google now" works as it should.
But when in google now, saying "ok google" does not activate voice control...very strange.

It seems that Moto may have deactivated this on purpose to prevent it from interfering with the Touchless Control feature.
Same thing, it was working shortly after the update I believe.

seems unlikely. i can't seem to get mine to work either, even though Google Now settings say to listen for "Google".
Select the Auto-Update tab from the top and choose one of the auto-update options (we recommend leaving it on “over WiFi-only”). After that, scoot over to the All tab and find English (US). You’ll notice it already says “pre-installed”. Don’t listen to it. Select English (US) anyway. From there, jump to the Installed tab and press “English (US)” where you’ll be asked to download the latest version (version 28 at the time of writing). Hit “Download” and the updated version will be downloaded and installed.
After it’s finished downloading, press the home button where you’ll notice “Ok Google” will now be displayed inside the Google Search widget. Simply speak that phrase whenever you’re on your homescreen to perform a Google Search or voice actions. That’s it. Was relatively painless, ri

Something is definitely broken. The image I included shows Android 4.4 and Android 4.2.2 differences. 4.4 is missing the "Ok" and maybe that is why it doesn't work? It worked fine before and now doesn't. English is my set language and that doesn't fix the problem.
just my 2 cents.

KidCuda,
Orsini has left out some steps. Where is his selecting Auto-Update tab (play store?)? I don't see anything that says "pre-installed". Where are you even looking for 28? I would like to confirm what number I am on.
Thanks.
Even you had 28 Download English language.

He's talking about in Google Now, go to the "Manage downloaded languages" section in settings. I tried this (on my Moto X, even though I'm typing this on a Nexus 7) and it didn't work.
My Nexus 7 just updated to KitKat tonight and doesn't have this problem.

Okay. I was able to update to version 28 and it still does NOT work, but something changed in the settings. See attachment.
I uninstalled the english language pack and reinstalled it to no avail...
Is there a way in settings the make the google now feature the primary voice command. According to alpine thats how I get my radio to work with voice command again.
Download bxactions and remap the bixby button to Google now.

Thisis what i originally did on my Note 8 ( and then later Note 9.)
to get my car radio to launch Google Assistant as Bixby kept popping up.
I also have bxActions installed on my phone, but what i originally did, regarding my car radio (Google voice commands) is..
Device /Settings /Advanced settings /Device Assistant app/set to Google and next to Google press settings cog icon
and set voice.... Google Assistant.
So if i press and long press /hold my car phone button
Google Assistant answers.
(Same as home button on device (function) for me)
So take a look and see if it works for you.?

Not sure, as i always had it preferred.
However , if you tap on the last setting page you can either enable or disable?

I chose to map a single press using a Bixby Quick Command. It's setup like this: What you say to Bixby "Google Assistant", What Bixby does "open assistant". It seems to work just fine.
I haven't received the update yet on my Note 9. Even went into the Galaxy Store and no updates are found.
I have the tmobile note 9 on oreo 8.1. I went to galaxy store and did the updates then pressed the Bixby button to open the app. Then pressed the three dots then pressed settings and picked what I wanted the button to do.
Yay....
Still haven't gotten the update. Note 9 Pie AT&T
Yippy, finally a progressive Update from Samsung! ?
In my case I want to map out for Discover but the issue is the same.
update is there in galaxy apps
Note 9 India

Check the Galaxy Store application. Go into it's settings and enable notifications for app updates and also look at your "My Page" and you will see the "Update" section which will list all of your pre-installed Samsung apps that have available updates. The "All" section is all of your apps installed from the Galaxy Store.

What?
Step in the right direction, but you are forced to enable the single press of the button (either to bixby or app action) and this is not good as it will lead to unwanted app/bixby launches.

Any way to get the screenshot with single press Bixby button. I tried but it gives me a voice command and when screenshot is taken you can see "take a screenshot " message on the top of the screenshot. Any workaround?
Hi,
Is there a way I can remap the Bixby Key to toggle b/w silent & loud on off screen?
Anyone notice on their new pixel that the new assistant is not working? The assistant is Still the old one, which you'd need to keep squeezing or repeat the hey google phrase.
What language are you using? It didn't work for me when set to English (UK), but works when set to English(US). It seems it is limited to English(US) at the moment.
Also cannot be used with a GSuite account, has to be a personal Google account.
I've switch to english US and have always used a personal Gmail account. Not sure why it's not working. Might just wait for google to fix the damn thing.

Where are you from? It is U.S. exclusive. Not just the language setting English(US). Don't know if you knew that. I'm from germany and I won't get it until they open it for us...
I got my phone yesterday (in the UK) and once I set it the assistant to us US English it installed an update and just works using the new assistant style, so it's not U.S. exclusive in that sense. Thankfully they've also added UK English voices for the assistant to use when talking back (when set to U.S.)

After giving up a few times, I notice that I was missing the google home app. After downloading the home app, in settings there were an option under continue conversation where you can enable or disable "shared devices". I disable that option and, What do you know, after squeezing the phone for the assistant, it automatically update itself to the new assistant. Hope this help others too.

Oh! My bad. Didn't realize that was necessary. I read gestures and was thinking Motion Sense gestures. [emoji2359]
I know Android is all about options and all and sucks that it's not an option for the button based navigation but why not use gestures? It's very fluid and quick.

Sorry to hijack the thread but is anyone else having issues with the squeeze for assistant feature? Mine seems very temperamental.
If I leave my phone locked for a bit, then lift it, it unlocks and the squeeze is not working. I then have to tap on the power button to lock it again, unlock and it starts working again.
I can't get continued conversation to show up in settings.
I don't even have the option.

Found out my issue... I have the old 3 button nav bar enabled but to get continued conversation to work for whatever reason you have to have gesture navigation enabled. But I can't get lmt pie to work with gestures - can't fully remove.
I am on gesture navigation already. I'm wondering if adding those Google home devices somehow interfering with the phone
