It seems to be doing it ramdomly phone is stock. Feel like it might have started doing it after I installed bxactions app which I no longer have installed.
Turns out the volume button was stuck. Best buy replaced the screen and all is back to normal.
I found the doggone problem! Freaking Google voice! You have to turn it off. Problem solved! I believe it was my s3 that had a problem and it was l linked to Google voice...saying, "okay Google". I've been down with android since the HTC Evo. I'm into routing and have rooted every device...even my note 8. So...yeah...turn off Google voice and you'll be fine!

My moto x is acting up. A little back story, my phone and I were thrown into a pool. The phone didn't work until I tried charging it, then it worked fine, for a few months, until now. It was at 70 percent or so, maybe a little lower. I was looking at youtube for some music when the screen went black. I turned it off by holding the power and volume down thing and I felt the vibration signaling it being turned back on. But the screen was still black. It vibrated when I pressed where the home button was, and I could press things and make the music play, please help my girlfriend is in hungary and this is the easiest and one of the only ways we talk. Thank you.

Hi,
I upgraded to LP 5.0.1 some time ago and some time later, google now does not work anymore from the lock screen.
When I press and hold the button of the headset, only a black screen opens sayint "Initializing.." but nothing happens.
It works flawlessly when launching it from any other screen. Any idea what might cause this??
I DID activate google now recognition also on the lock screen, but still nothing.
Someonw has the same issue with his Z3 compact??
Again after installing a new ROM back to the same issue, using still NOva launcher. Anyone has an idea of how to solve this?
I found a new and useful app on Play Store. It's called easyHome for Samsung and it let you simply touch the fingerprint scanner instead of pressing the home button. Also, with the pro version, you can turn off the display with a long touch.
I'm trying it and it's really nice. Anyway the long press of home button is unusable, because if you long press the home button to start google now, when you leave the button the app recognizes a long press and shut down the screen. I'm also concerned about fingerprint life and battery drain because now it's always active.
Let me know what you think about it
Google Play Link: easyHome for Samsung
Just installed. So far so good.

Good app but I have found it works inconsistently so I have uninstalled.
I've played with it a little. It's nice when it works, but it's not consistent. Especially the paid long press feature doesn't work well, many times a normal tap triggered it.
The problem is the timing. When doing a tap, it seems to register as being a long-press even though it was fairly quick. To get the tap to register consistently, you have to barely touch the button.
These timings need to be adjusted. Even better would be an option within the app to set the timing ourselves.
it keeps my phone awake all the time :/

Yes. Battery drain is the main reason I uninstalled it. Devs says they're working on it, but nothing new.
I appreciate the screen off function on long press. I'm actually looking for a good alternative to turn off the screen.
So, I was yesterday using my phone and everything was OK. This day, I charged my phone because it was dead and couple mins later I turned it on. I unlocked it, everything looked OK, but I discovered some weird things. My recent apps and home buttons aren't working. When I press recent apps button it lits up but it doesn't do anything. Back button works. Then I saw that there are no notifications in the status bar(I have Kaspersky antivirus so there had to be its notification). And then when I swiped down to check notifications, I tried pressing settings, date and show more buttons, they didn't work either. I pressed power button to restart and in that box airplane and emergency modes buttons are not there. Plus, when I close my S View thing, there's no ...(more) and camera buttons.
Yesterday, I was looking at activities(using Nova launcher and adding a widget for activity) and tried couple, so I think I made something there bad.
My phone is G800F running Stock 4.4.2 without root. No viruses on my device.

This question is solved by myself.
I solved it!
What I did was I went to the Nova Launcher settings and then I changed default launcher to Touchwiz. After it turned on, I got everything that wasn't working now working!
Guys

Have the same problem...
Maybe "Bixby" doesn't understand our "dialect"?
There are several bugs with Bixby. Not sure of this is your issue, but I have noticed that voice detection for both Bixby and OK Google are borked after toggling power saving modes. If I come out of either Mid or Extreme power saving mode and back into normal mode, voice detection of any kind will not work until I have rebooted.
