Galaxy Gear ring and vibrate even if the phone is in blocking mode

Hi,
I was wondering if I'm the only one but I noticed a pretty annoying bug (or at least it looks like it is). Let say you have the Blocking Mode setup on your phone (S4, S3 or Note ) from say 10PM to 7AM then no notifications will ring on the phone, in fact the phone is silent. This is awesome and let me sleep in peace (I work in a global company where my inbox never stop to ring) but the Galaxy Gear is still getting notifications and ring/vibrate which is terribly annoying. You have to either manually put it to "Vibrate" and then remove the watch (Unfortunately I feel when It vibrates during the night and it wakes me up) or you have to simply switch off the watch.
Anybody have the same problem? Known workaround?

You know I always assumed that it would work exactly the way you imagined it would; so in fact I was finding it funny the Pebble needed a "Do not Disturb" mode. But, after your post I found the same problem as yours; blocking mode is not respected.
One idea I can think of is to stop the Sync at night, or change the e-mail checking time in non-priority hours if you are using the native E-mail client. Can't think of anything else; perhaps it's time Samsung opened up the development for the watch so people can start coding these kind of apps.

Right but then I need to turn off SMS, GMail and so forth. Well I hope the SDK will be public because so far the apps are not great . In the meantime I will switch it off .

Turning off Sync should turn off all apps like Gmail that respect that feature; as for SMS, I have no idea how you can block that
My hunch is Samsung is about to push quite a few apps very soon, because there are a number of gear manager updates now. It's rather unfortunate that for the powerful hardware the gear is, the software is the biggest road-block. Open the SDK, Samsung guys!

Could you not set up tasker to automaticly cut your bt/sync between those same hours? Which should stop the texts/calls etc? Im not sure because Iv'e not used it before and don't get my gear for another week, but its something I will need to get working aswel

Tasker or any such app should kill the sync but blocking the calls and sms isn't straight forward. Now, that I am typing this in perhaps one could switch to Airplane mode in the night to block everything.
However, I would prefer the way the blocking mode works, ringing only for calls in my contacts for emergency and block everything else during the night. My original idea was to sleep with the watch on for such things, but the vibration is not strong enough to wake me and it's unlikely it would wake anyone..

Notice this issue on day one of the release, I have been hoping that an update would have fixed this by now, but no such luck. I just turn my gear to vibrate at night and set it on a cloth as to not vibrate on the nightstand.

What about setting the gear to mute? I think this also stops notifications coming through?

This isn't a big deal. Press and hold home, double tap the volume button to go from Sound >> Vibrate >> Mute. Done. Reverse in the morning. Takes 1-2 seconds.

This has to be installed on the gear?

Yes.
You can use the adb install command.
It works well.

there are other two-three apps that appears like Google Play Services in battery stats, so look for the one causing it... also.. mobile data? wifi? there's a lot of speculation about GPlayServices, sometimes turning off reboot and turning on solves problem, is weird actually
and again, is google's fault, not sony xD, after some days dissapear for me...

Its media server draining most, other normalised anyone fix, custom rom ?

I think I might be of some help.
I believe you're having the same problem I did when I bought the phone.The 4.1.2 firmware has a very bad stand-by drain problem because of that eco controller or something like that.I tried to find the solution for a month or two before I gave up.But then the 4.3 update came around and it fixed the bug right up for me.Now the problem with 4.3 is that it has one or two visual bugs but none that break the rom.So, I would suggest that you upgrade to 4.3 IMMEDIATELY and if you have a custom recovery then install ExistenZ 4.0 which I am on right now.It has fixed 99% of the bugs from the stock 4.3 and also has awesome battery life just like the stock 4.3.
I hope you fix your problem.Good Luck !
Also
CHECK IT BHOY:
I lost only 2 percent in the 5 hour standby.All the rest is screen time.
EDIT:I highly doubt mediaserver actually drains the battery that much.I mean, look at my mediaserver drain.I still get awesome standby and screen on time on a single charge.

2% percent down in 13m

94% pls help

If the problem still persists in 4.3 then I guess the only thing left to do is to turn off location services and use wakelock detector to see what causing the extreme battery drain.

Trouble with "Ok Google" Always On

[Original Post]
"Ok Google" works fine for me when the phone is on/unlocked without any training. However, to have it work even when the screen is off or the phone is locked it requires training your voice. For the life of me I can't get it to accept the training. It wants to record you saying "Ok Google" three times and it will move on to the second and third recordings after a previous recording is successful. I can't get it to move past the first recording. It just listens for a while and then times out. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on how to resolve it?
[Update 1]
Clearing Google Search data made voice training quick and easy, but my option to have it always on has disappeared. See my post below. Thoughts?
[Update 2]
I just rebooted the phone and my "always on" option has returned but it wants me to retrain my voice. Now I can't get past the first recording again...

I don't have that issue. Voice training went off without a hitch. Did you go to a quiet place like the instructions said?

Thanks for the response. Yes, I was in a location with no sound.
Since posting the original post I found this thread where someone suggested clearing Google Search app data. I tried it and voice training was quick and easy. However, I don't seem to have the option for this to work with the screen off anymore. I can only do it when the screen is on, locked or unlocked.
Here is what the options used to look like (not my screenie, I just found this image on the web, probably from an N9 or something):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now here is what my screen looks like:
I no longer have the "always on" option. One step forward, one step backward.

@Marcellus1 I see that no one has offered any help here and I can't either. My N6 has the issue that your first picture shows. I am running Validus 5.0.1 alpha 1.0 Rom. I have read that this is an issue with all AOSP ROMs right now but there isn't very much being discussed about it. If you find a solution, please let me know. If I find one I'll definitely post it here.
The odd thing is that my my N5, N7(2013) and N9 all have this feature working flawlessly, all running Lollipop. My N6 is the only device with issues and I have tried 3 different ROMs as well as several different gapps packages to try to solve it to no avail.

you can try this thread, as thats what fixed my ok google everywhere and with screen off and unplugged http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
btw, im on rastapop.

I appreciate the replies. It seems that the fix is only a 50-50 chance of working AND it requires a custom ROM. I'm on stock, no root, no custom recovery, no anything special. I'll probably switch to a custom ROM at some point, but for now I don't think I'm ready to make the switch. One post mentioned in that thread referenced this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57335716&postcount=295
The suggestion is to clear search and play data in order for the changes to survive a reboot, but that you lose the option for always on while not plugged in. That doesn't seem optimal either. Word is Android 5.1 due out in February or so will address "Ok Google" issues, which hopefully means this issue. Maybe I'll just sit tight until 5.1 rolls out before trying factory resets, custom ROMs or the like.

I had a Pressy inserted into my headphone port. Ok Google worked fine on the homescreen with the Pressy inserted, but it would not work with the voice training with the Pressy installed. If i did the voice training without the Pressy, then put the Pressy in, Google Now still worked ok on the homescreen, but not with screen off.
EDIT: I am rooted on stock ROM.

That's interesting. I've had a pressy in my headphone jack. When I try training my voice with Pressy inserted, the phone just endlessly listens and eventually times out. When I removed it and tried voice training again I immediately got "something went wrong" and "It's a little too noisy in here. Please find a quieter place and try again". (and I'm in a quiet place).
[EDIT]: As a follow-up, I've uninstalled Pressy and the AutomateIt Pressy plugin. I've cleared my search data, and installed the new Google (search) app (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/07/google-app-hits-version-4-1-now-cards-settings-apk-download/), but still no luck training my voice.

Thanks for your suggestion but it did not work. I saw your suggestion previously and put it off because I didn't want to have to root my device. However, after getting the updated google (search) app today and it still not working, I decided to give it a go. Unlocked the device, rooted it, etc, then copied the files mentioned in your solution to the appropriate locations. Rebooted the device and now my "always on" feature is grayed out and disabled--it says this feature is currently unavailable for this language. The language is set to English (US). I cleared the search app data and was able to train the device immediately, but it was just like my post above where the always on is limited to when the screen is on and unlocked or when charging. Rebooting the phone and/or re-installing the updated google (search) app (because I lost it during the rooting process) takes me back to "this feature is currently unavailable for this language".
[EDIT]: I was looking through that thread some more and saw that some were having some success with flashing the zip by hlxanthus that was a little bit different from the original suggestion. I took my root a step further and installed a custom recovery and then flashed hlxanthus's zip. There is no change.
[EDIT 2]: As a follow-up to the previous edit, after flashing hlxanthus's zip, clearing search data no longer makes a change to enable voice training.

Me too, does not work with marshmallows, you have found a solution?

works fine on marshmallow over here. i even taught it to listen for ok nexus instead of ok google.

Do you have Now on Tap or Smart Lock enabled? Some people have reported that these cause issues with hot word detection.

This Feature is Broken Again!!!
I've noticed this is broken on Android N. I often clean install custom ROM and then the latest OpenGApps only to find that when I toggle on OK Google "Always On" the toggle instantly turns itself back off the moment I turn it on. There's some work arounds on the forums and I can usually make it work by Installing and old version of the Google App clearing all data for Google App then training voice model and setting OK Google "Always On" toggle to "On". Then after everything is working I go ahead and update Google App from Play Store and usually it keeps working. Sometimes it breaks again. I'm tired of working around this. I wanna know if it will ever again be possible to use this feature. This has been going on for months. Perhaps they should just remove the feature all together then at least it won't be there broken and useless.

[Q] Google Now not working. Network error. [SOLVED]

Ok
I have a brand new Droid Turbo that is having problems with Google Now. I get no Cards. The Google now screen is blank except for the past 3 searched items.
If I swipe from the left and hit settings/Now Cards the first item is Show card which is off and I can't change it and it has an error messages under it that says "Network error. Check your network connection and try again."
I can browse the internet fine with all apps be it WiFi or Verizon 4G. I have tried to clear data from the Google App, I've uninstalled the latest update, I have done two factor resets. My Nexus 7 gets to this just fine. Any clues?
Thanks.

Seems like many brands of routers paired with the Droid Turbo are acting up. Some report turning off IPV6 worked for them. It doesn't for me. I don't think it's a router issue as HTC and Apple devices work perfectly over wifi.
Hopefully Motorola gets the message...

You have completely misunderstood my problem.
I'm not having any lag nor are there any REAL network issues. My Google Now is blank. It doesn't show ANY cards. The error message says I have a network problem but I can use the phone just fine. Something is screwed up on Google Now. This has nothing to do with routers or anything of that nature.

Well, it just sounds mighty similar to what I and many others are experiencing.
Try it with wifi off and see if it does the same thing. For me, using verizons radio/data app grab data snappy like it should be. Wifi is my turbos issue.
Generally the turbo needs 2-3 tries of refreshing in in the play store, reddit sync, chrome and so on before loading images. For instance, the play store will show app tiles but take forever to load the icon. The wifi lag/poor responsiveness is intermittent happening around 50% the time an app needs data via wifi. Considering you just got your phone it might creep up on more apps as you use your phone. Just throwing it out there.
I also have the app Trend. Different apps show different errors and Trend will say "No data connection found" when my phone is acting shi**y over wifi. Refreshing it a couple of times generally restores data.

Had this issue just two days ago after refomatting my device and may have declined a google location setting. I posted my fix over in the Google help forums and this is what worked for me two days ago and its still working
Another thing to try that worked for me is> Google settings in the app drawer>Account History>Turn off Web&App Activity/Device Information/Voice & Audio Activity/ Youtube search History/ Youtube watch History/Google location History> wait five minutes and turn it all back on.
I tried this after i didnt know if it was my device or my account. so I deleted my google account from the phone and installed my wifes account and found "google now" worked perfect, so I knew it was in my account settings which was a relief. Thats how I found whats above worked for me. Maybe if the above doesnt work for you do as i did and install another persons google account on the phone see if the "google now "works then if it does then you know its your account, and try the above that worked for me.

Thanks,
I tried a second fake google account and it brought the Google Now wizard right up. So it is some kind of authentication issue or file corruption either in the phone or at google. Though my Nexus 7 works just fine so I doubt it is an issue with the account on google's end. I'll try your recipe and see if that clears it.

Let us know if it works.

Good!!!
I searched all of the internets for a solution and didnt find anything. One time I did a voice google "remind me" and instead of saying this "is not avalible on this device" it said " enable web & app activity" so thats how I came up with the solution. Maybe you didnt have to do all that deleting the history, but I did and thats what worked. Glad it worked for you and a couple of others on the google help forum. Makes me feel like a big wig! LOL..

One time I did a voice google "remind me" and instead of saying this "is not avalible on this device" it said " enable web & app activity" so thats how I came up with the solution. Maybe you didnt have to do all that deleting the history, but I did and thats what worked. Glad it worked for you and a couple of others on the google help forum. Makes me feel like a big wig! LOL.. Thanks for the "thanks"

Yep there is no way to really know if that was a necessary step or it was swatting flies with nuclear weapons. But it got the job done and now I can finally enjoy my new phone. Accidentally washed my Moto X so this has been totally frustrating until now.

the above solution is the only thing that worked for me... htc one m8

"Another thing to try that worked for me is> Google settings in the app drawer>Account History>Turn off Web&App Activity/Device Information/Voice & Audio Activity/ Youtube search History/ Youtube watch History/Google location History> wait five minutes and turn it all back on. "
I am having a dumbazz period. lol. I could not find the above on my Droid Turbo. Google settings in the app drawer is what I can't figure out. This is Greek to me. Please enlighten me. Thank you.

Here's Google settings in my app drawer

Thank you so much. It makes a lot of sense now.

I had this same problem when I purchased this phone coming from Moto X with 5.0.
Solved this by excluding the cards preferences in google settings.
After excluding this preferences, google now started working.

OK Google not working correctly

When I say OK Google, the Assistant opens, but the the mic does not seem to recognize any additional command.
But when I open the Assistant from the power button, it works flawlessly.
Yes I set up the phone from scratch and yes I tried the several suggestions in www to uninstall Google app updates or delete cache and data from it.
Anyone else?

Hi yes I am having the same issue . I say ok google it activates but like the mic not activated and it doesn't hear anything . if I activate it any other ways works fine . Its so freaking annoying it doing my brain in

I have a very similar problem with my X5 Pro. Sometimes the Google assistant UI has a glowing coloured bar,will work fine but without any audio responses but most of the time the UI has the four dots that will wake on "Hey Google" but then stop listening.

Same problem here only work if i click on the dots to talk. Anyone found a solution for this?

I'm also having the exact same issues with my phone. For such an expensive phone, it's really quite embarrassing.

It's working for me when enabling voice match in settings. It works when screen is off, on lock screen and elsewhere like expected!
Try enabling it in
settings > Google > settings for Google apps > search, assistant and voice > google assistant > hey Google and voice match
I found when voice match is off, it doesn't work anymore to say ok Google anywhere.
You can also configure power button to toggle assistant.
Let me know if you need any help!

I have it enable, i tried to turn of and on and retrain voice (BTW if i have portugues at primary on my list "retrain" option doesn't even appeard for some reason, had the same problem on my OP7Pro, i need to config like English UK to the option appear again) and still doesn't work, i say ok google and i still need to press the 4 dots. is a strange thing...

The google assistant settings as far as I can see are actually all set correctly. The Assistant will respond to the Hey Google command, but will fail to actually listen after the "bloop" sound. Interestingly, you can say "Hey Google" and immediately continue what you are saying and you can actually get the assistant to listen to the first few words before it cuts out.
The issue is therefore relating to the microphone cutting out after the hot word is said.

Of course the settings are as they have to be to make it work. There are also users in german forums that report the same problem.
Opened a case at Oppo, currently it's under investigation in the dev department.
I encourage everyone with the same problem to contact your local Oppo e-mail-Support an explain the problem.

I've found a solution, but I suspect it may only be temporary.
I changed the permission for the mic in the google app to ask every time. I then open the google app and manually trigger the google assistant which causes the permission prompt to appear. I then set it back to while using the app and it's been working normal for me since then
Edit: Google Assistant no longer works when screen is off and messes up again after restart. This is so annoying -.-

Sadly nothing found I received an email from oppo telling me to change my assistance language to Australia done that still not working it's like the microphone does not activate when you say OK Google here's the command but then the mic disengages it's really really frustrating

Gave up and factory reset the phone. Did not bother transferring data and the Google assistant is behaving like normal on the reset phone.im going through the process of bringing everything back, but it's nice to have the assistant back
So I was setting up the phone again and the issue returned. I was insanely frustrated so I went and reset system settings only before factory resetting again to see if that would fix the problem. It actually did.
So I set out to find what was causing the assistant to mess up and I found the culprit.
I use Bitwarden and I get it to autofill password prompts. To get it to work everytime, I enable all the accessibility options. It turns out that giving Bitwarden accessibility privileges actually stops the Google assistant from behaving like normal! Enabling them and revoking them fixes and breaks the assistant, so if you are using Bitwarden or any other app that uses those settings, try turning it off.

Hi there, You're the man, so any app that we have with Accessibility ON cause this issue, in my case i have Bitdefender that uses this and Refresh Rate Switcher.
This is a shame tho :\

Man this actually works!!! Thanks!
The culprit: You have to deactivate every app that uses accessibility services (in my case Bitwarden, Tasker, Nova Launcher and Autonotification app).
Will give that info to my support ticket.

Hello, I have the Chinese version. I Can't even enable the option for "Hey Google"/"Ok Google". Does anyone know how to activate this? Thanks!

So, anyone with a working Google Assistant AND activated accessibility privileges for an app in accessibility options?
Contacted support with it 1 1/2 months ago, 2 updates later and heard nothing. Still crap.

You mean the Android update for your X5? Ive had several updates for my RealME GT 2 pro .... still didn't fix ...
this issue is through multiple devices.

My mom had the same issue w/ her X5 Pro . Downloaded the latest betaapks for the Google app and Google Play services from ApkMirror. Once installed, it solved her issues (enabled French - France and English US as main languages)
