I switched from the Moto Voice app to the OK Google because the Moto X voice app is terrible. Everything was working great until a few days ago. OK Google only works from the home screen now. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a work-around to fix it? Thanks!
I'm assuming that the "From any screen" option is checked in the Google app?

Correct, and I did the training. It works perfectly on my Moto G. My Moto X has been acting quirky so I am getting an advanced replacement from Motorola. They are now charging a $25 "Premium Fee" for advance replacement. I hate this company ever since Lenovo took over and this will be my last Motorola phone.
Having the same issue.
Starting to regret this phone deeply.
I just realized that I hadn't checked it since my update to 5.1, and it no longer works for me either. It is not a feature I use, but it is a shame that it is broken.
Me neither, which makes me think it's a server side error.
Broken on my Moto X running 5.1 stock or CM 12.1 and my Nexus 5 in the same scenarios, so I think it's a bug in the app not with our phone.

These certainly sound like the most likely causes, however, is it strange that we are the only people talking about this? If it were a global problem, I would think more people would be complaining.
I had this exact issue and figured out quite a simple fix.
All you need to do is going to the "Moto" app and disable the "Moto Voice" function. The moto voice function apparently takes control of the mic at all times, stopping google now from doing so. Once I disabled the Moto Voice, I could enable Google Now / Ok Google from all screens and didn't get the "microphone is in use, please restart device" error message anymore.
Hope this helps

This is not the problem being discussed here. The problem is, after being setup properly, the "OK Google" command only works on the homescreens. Not on the lock screen, not when an app in is the foreground. Are you able to use "OK Google" in these instances?

It seems intermittent ever since the last Motorola OTA I received. I can't seem to do OK google from my homescreen anymore although it will occasionally wake from lock screens and in an app if I use it, it will pull me out of the app to the Google Now search screen. I think the whole thing is pretty much bugged to be honest :/
I've found just going into the google search and hitting the mic button much more reliable and thus faster.
So I got the upgrade but now I am unable to use the voice command Ok Google from watch face as before. I can only get it working by holding power button and even then it seems just laggy.
Anyone else having this issue activating it by voice?
Thanks!
Having that same issue. Not only does not "Ok Google" work, even after enabling it in the watch's settings, even when pressing down the crown, the whole thing is extremely slow. Furthermore, for sending a message, the "Ok" doesn't time out after a couple of seconds in order to send the message automatically. It requires me to tap the screen.
All in all, its looking more like a downgrade for me. The whole system feels sluggish and incoherent from a usability standpoint of view.
Edit: Didn't factory reset the watch after update
I have an another problem. Google Assistant isn't launched in Czechia yet and there isn't Google Now in Android Wear 2. So, I lost any speech control.
I've too had issues with "OK Google" after Android Wear 2.0 install. I did get it sort of working after a device reset and reconnect to my phone. (Samsung Note 5). Its slow!! and now for sending text messages you have to confirm with a tap. All in all the functionality went down....
Anyone know how to revert back to the old rom?

So another issue is that even after going to the stupid settings where you actually have to enable Ok Google from any screen on your watch, it STILL wont work. I can only get it to work by using the power button which has a huge delay and then only when I am connected on Wifi. For some reason it no longer works when on my normal cellphone connection.
The phone is super laggy, battery dies fast...its a MESS.
Basically my watch is useless now for all the things I need it to do daily
Mine only works if i go and disable Bluetooth and enable WiFi else it complains it can't contact Google. Play store is the same too. Slow lagging assistant is not good especially sending txts with no auto send

Same issue here. "OK Google" is the most important feature...
You need to give permissions for the OK Google to work. Didn't notice about it until I read this thread (I think most particularly Phone access)

Yup mine works perfectly without wifi (have been testing it outdoors since 2 days ago). Fix is to go to apps, system apps, google, permissions, enable permission to phone (maybe others too since IDGAF and ticked all)

Would you look at that! It works but WTH is google making it so complicated now for users? Most people dont hang around XDA to know these things. Like for instance apps now need to be downloaded on the phone as its not autmotically done, etc.
Really weird approach.
Thanks for the tip!
After a factory reset and being extremely patient, I was able to get Ok google to work. You have to go to the store on the app and update all of the apps and then enable, OK google in the settings. Problem is the response time is horrible. I'm going to stick with 2.0 and hope that they roll out updates to make it faster.

Responses time is horrible on the initial due to it running on single core at lower clock speeds and on conservative core governor.
Therefore you'll have to give it sometime for it to settle down or if you can't deal with it, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash in the dual or quad core enabled kernel file
Running in quad core kernel, battery life seems decent and response real snappy
Well that's just stupid because it worked fine on the previous android wear build. This is dumb on LG's part.
Last night and today it completely froze had to press power and volume down to reboot removing swiftkey just to see if that is the cause anyone else with freezing issues.
No freezing issues here at all. Been using it for two days now. Maybe a restore will help?
my wife had to do this 4 times in 2 weeks, any idea what caused it, is it still happening to you, anyone else?

It only happens when I install Swiftkey keyboard for some odd reason I use secure folder and I think Swiftkey doesn't play nice with secure folder let me know please.
Mine only did it while trying to get action memo to work with the incorrect version of s-notes.

Had mine since the 19th of September with no freezes or reboots. You can boot into safe mode and if it doesn't freeze it's definitely something you've installed. If it freezes in safe mode I'd see about getting it replaced.

It was definitely switfkey that caused the freezing

Do you use secure folder?
Maybe the fact that there are 2 Swiftkey apps that can cause the issue of freezing

No, it wasn't odd. When I used the correct version of s-notes action memo worked fine.
Action memo isn't supported anymore.

Yes--Secure Folder has been freezing frequently on me. I am wondering if it is related to my Xfinity wifi or my NordVPN or strongSwan VPN. It seems to freeze less when I use 4G. Do you use those VPNs or wifi? Reply to [email protected]. Thank you
Hello,
I have been noticing that some apps don't receive push notifications after the phone has been sitting overnight, such as Outlook and home security apps. In have turned off app optimizing for them to prevent the phone putting them to sleep, but the issue still occurs. Any idea what else I can do?
Thanks

I posted something similar. The fix works no problem on S7 / S8, but on Note8, at least at launch, the workaround didn't seem to work. Not sure if this has been resolved.

I use Outlook and have no problem with notifications. But I have disabled the app from Battery Monitor too, so it never suspends and works just fine even if the phone was sleeping for a while.

I use the duos variant, SM-N950F with Exynos.
This is the build: NMF26X.N950FXXU1AQI1
Basically the stock firmware that came with it, didn't even received an update yet.

OK. My issues were on the Qualcomm variant, original FW (don't remember the version) where disabling battery optimization on the apps wasn't actually working (vs. my S7 / S8 where it works no problem).

I only had problems with Facebook Messenger getting disconnected even if I was using the Note 8, but works fine with older versions. I have no problem with any other app notification. Maybe try doing a factory reset if you can't get any notification while sleeping even with both Battery Monitor and Battery Optimizations are disabled for the app.
I've been having this problem with GMail ever since I got this phone. I've tried all of the workarounds, including excluding it from doze and it doesn't work. I've given up getting notifications for GMail. I stopped using the verizon messenger app because the notifications were so unreliable.

It sounds like that unlike on all previous Samsung models, the exclude from Doze feature is not working on the Note8.

Yea. Either not working at all, or at least not working well. Hopefully this is something that gets fixed somewhere along the way. I haven't had an update since October 4th. They don't seem to be anxious to fix things.

I went back to my S8+ because of this. Not having my email deliver in a timely manner is a critical thing for me.

Understandable. Fortunately for me, it's more of an annoyance than something critical. Were you having the problem with GMail, or was it some other type of email? I've been thinking of giving the stock email client a try with GMail, to see if it's any better.

Nine Email - one of the best Exchange clients out for Android. No issues on S7 or S8 when excluding in Doze, only the Note8 has issues. I know its Doze related as Facebook Messenger has the same issues.

That's a problem of the Gmail app from ages... I never got it to work reliable in any device from lollipop. That's why I use Outlook, no problems here.

This is the first phone I have had where Gmail isn't reliable. I had a Note 4 and prior to that, an S3. I never had problems with it on either one. I didn't know that there was an outlook for android. I might have to check it out, especially seeing as I could use it for work email.
Hi all,
I've recently installed a Sony XAV-5000 in my car and having issues with it responding with voice commands (hey google, ok google etc).
I can press a button and it beeps and away I go with my command but using a command to consistently 'wake' the assistant is a no go.
I have updated to latest firmware, cleared cache, cleared data and it works the first time but then doesn't respond.
The interesting thing is, when I do say 'Hey Google' after clearing data/cache the screen does a slight refresh so it seems to be hearing me but not opening the assistant, it does this every time.
Any idea what's going on? It feels like a permission or something else is blocking it from opening but I've been through everything multiple times.
Google Assistant works flawlessly just on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers Jack

Hey Google causing issues / not responding - Android Auto Community
Looks like the last working version is 13.38.11.29
Hopefully we don't lose too many features downgrading so far back.
