Is it possible to use your phone dialer (using the phone itself) while AA is connected? I have alot of contact shortcuts on my screen for direct dial, but my Mate 20 pro dosnt let me use my phone for making calls while it ist connected to Audi MMI via Android Auto. Like it is blocking the dialer app.
It takes me 1 sek. to make a call when I'm using my phone screen to do this, but when I use cars screen to make a call in AA, it takes ages. And I'm faaaar more distracted from the road then when I'm searching contact on my cars display. So please any advice how to do this?
Did you try to disable "Lock phone while driving" in AA settings?

Yes, it is disabled. Could it be a bug in AA? I have version 5.0.500224.

Latest AA is 5.1.5006, but i don't think this is your problem. I have the same AA version as you, and the setting works on Note 10+. It is probably related to your phone.

You could still try to Enable/Disable the setting. Sometimes it helps.

Hm... I'll try to download google phone (or some other dialer app) and give it a try. It could be a problem in Huaweis dialer app then. Not happy with it anyway. Samsung has the bes dialer app there is, exactly what I need. Tried to find some port for my Mate 20 pro, but no luck...
I don't think your problem is related to your phone dialer, as I understood, you can't reach your phone's screen during driving with AA in service. Are you able to get to other apps during driving? Usually this is forbidden for safety reasons. I'm even astonished that there is such a setting in AA, but probably this is provided for the case when the passenger is using the phone.

Well I tried using Viber to place a call, and it kind of worked (call was placed, but active call wasnt shown on my screen), so I hat to close Viber from (swipe it from recent apps) to end the call. Other thing I tried is google maps and that also doesnt want to open. Just like the dialer.
Screen itself works on the phone, but seems the apps dont. At least those that are also awailable on AA. I'll try your suggestion to en/disable lock phone option.
For me it is far les risky to tape once on my phone for something I need, like copyng a phone number, direkt dial etc., then to try to find a way to do that on my car screen or to disconnect the USB cable each time...

One more suggestion/question: why don't you try to use voice command to dial numbers? The process is not so fast, especially if there is more than one number defined for each of the contacts you need to call, but it works fine. Just say "Call nnnnn (name of contact as saved in your contacts)". You could make new contacts with only nicknames and one single phone number for all the contacts you need to call during driving, in order to shorten the voice dialing process.

Problem is that I work alot with foregn customers, so it doesnt recognize a German or Croatian name. Also, when a client calls, they mostly have few numbers in their office so I get alot of calls from new numbers during a day. And that is my problem... Or my office sends me a mail that a customer called and I must call back on that and that number. It is impossible to use anything but the phone screen to do all that.
I see. In that case I think I can't help you further. I hope you'll find a solution finally, but before anything, be safe when driving and keep others on the road safe also.

I see you again with your "dialer issue" in separate thread here
I have two points:
- testing Google Maps as a app to be run when the phone is connected to Android Auto head unit is not good idea as this app is controlled via Google Services to be locked for AA only then
- your issue with dialer is probably related to Huawei dialer so try to use the Google Dialer. I know you tried with some dialer but remember that it should be patched. You can try to use one of these dialers:

Yes, I'm looking for an answer since this way it is difficult to do my job. I do a lot from my car and I try to be efficient. I also save addresses in my google maps on the phone when I'm in office, but now I see when maps are in AA you have no option to see "labeled" things. You can search it by name and it will show, but that means I need to keep everything in my head. But when you save "Warehouse B+S Koblenz" and you have many similar names in your head, it isn't easy. Thank you very much for the dialers. Do you perhaps know if it is possible to port Samsungs Dialer to Huawei Mate 20 pro? I receive daily 20+ phonecalls from unknown numbers (clients) and samsungs dialer shows "contact history" when you receive a call (e.g. it shows a preview of a last message from that number or when was the last call made, all while your phone rings). And for me that was helpful since I knew if that number called me yesterday or 30 days ago. Also, Huawei only shows Country from where the number is coming from, Samsung showed a City name. End when I see Berlin or Frankfurt, I know which client it may be. But when I see "Germany" it doesn’t tell me anything

Sorry I know nothing about Samsung Dialer port project.
First of all try to overcome first basic obstacle (using phone dialer when the AA is connected). So, try to install the Google Dialer and check if it works for you. If you get the satisfactory result it will be a first step and then you can think about next level

Yes of course, try it - it'll replace the old gtalk app though
I probably deserve to get flamed for this one but....
Is there an indicator somewhere that tells you if the person you are sending a message to is actively logged in? I used to use the chat feature built into Gmail and it would place a green dot next to the people who were online.

Not really. Some people are saying that the greyed out contacts are the offline ones, but comparing between 'hangouts' on my tablet and gtalk on my phone, that doesn't appear to be accurate.
Pretty annoyed by this app. Talk was perfect, and it was a staple of both the desktop and mobile Google experience. And now they've stripped it of some of its most useful features.
It reeks of yet another effort to push us all onto their ****ty social network.

Yeah I agree with you on that one, everything is moving towards Google+.
Which, in all honesty, wouldn't be so bad. The G+ app is really slick, just not much use for me since most of my friends are using other social media sites.
Thanks!!

Ya they did take some actually all useful features from us the online indicator to see whos online away or off there device which is nice so ur not waking people up for a video call or message, Cant merge contacts the same any more or delete them as u could with google talk. It seems like there trying to make it like apples face time which has its own ups and downs but is a lot simpler so i kinda understand linking the phone numbers and stuff but why push this BS feature less app out to all of us with android without having it perfect all this did was set everyone on android back not forward so far

Here's the working way: disconnect Talk from Google Play with Titanium Backup. Now it won't update and you won't have to install Hangouts.
Update: no, it doesn't. Everything is back after rebooting.

How did you solve it? I'm having the same issue, everything is all grayed out. This happened to me before and I had to do a factory reset, I really don't want to do that again. This incomming call announce just started a few days ago again, and the read notifications aloud is all grayed out under the language and input settings. I have talkback disabled and voice control is turned off. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you restoring any system setting you had backup from your previous phone via Mybackup Pro. That's what was causing problem for me because was restoring system settings I had backup with MyBackup Pro with my S4 and restoring it onto my S5 which causing grayed out on settings.
I never used MyBackup pro. I just transferred my Google contacts. I guess I just have to do a factory reset again. I really do not understand the need for this feature outside of vehicle use. I really don't need everyone in my office knowing who is calling.

After reading many forums and tearing my phone apart, I finally figured this one out. I had the same problem many others were reporting, with anyone in my Favorites having their names announced when they called, even though I'd turned off Talkback and any other voice stuff. What I had noticed was that in Settings/ Language And Input/Notification Readout, all five options were checked but greyed out so I couldn't uncheck them. And "Calls from favourite contacts" was the one causing me all the trouble.
The solution on a Galaxy S5 running 4.4.2 is to use two fingers to pull down the Notification Bar, and then from that bunch of icons you see turn ON Hands-Free Mode (which is the old Driving Mode - it has a steering wheel icon).
Now, go back to Settings/Language And Input/Notification Readout and you'll be able to uncheck all those 5 options. After you've done that, go back to the Notification Bar and turn OFF the Hands-Free Mode. Job done!
[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.

@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.

Thank you very much for the update! I was still having the issue and just forgot about it. I was thinking about trying out the 5.1 update but just haven't gotten around to it.
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.
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..

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.
Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but when I was first setting up the phone (tmo version) I noticed two visual voicemail apps open. Has this device got it's own visual voicemail?

Not your imagination, I had it also, that's until I reset my phone and then I lost the native visual voicemail accessible from the phone dialer.

Mine disappeared after a reset. The button now just dials the voicemail number.
Also, you might want to test that your voicemails will show up there, because mine never did.

What is the verdict here? I have the T-Mobile Note 8 and when I use the dialer to access voicemail it just calls. When I go into settings there is a greyed out "Voicemail Settings" that I cannot access. All I'm looking for is integrated Visual Voicemail, I never liked having another app.

I am in the same boat. Super frustrating. I'm on the phone with T-Mobile now and they have a Samsung Representative on the line. Waiting to see if they can give me any info. I'm going to try hard resetting the phone if they can't come up with a solution and just never set up T-Mobile VVM.
Edit* T-Mobile and Samsung were obviously no help whatsoever. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and they transferred me without asking to a "Samsung Support Specialist" who told me they transferred me to him for "further clarification on the issue" all he told me was "Samsung has nothing to do with voicemail that's a carrier issue" Thanks for wasting my time. So tired of this carrier specific BS.

Sorry to hear about that. Frustrating to say the least.
I'm trying to remember how I setup my Note 8 and wife's initially. As I don't think she had that dual visual voicemail notifications like I did.
Memory is vague, but one of devices was setup with no sim card present during initial setup screens.

Just an observation, could it be possible that the T Mobile version like ours has the visual voicemail baked in?
Just took another look and posted the following. It doesn't show my old stored voicemail messages. screenshot.

Ok well I had a reddit post as well and I've gotten a little closer but still have not figured it out.
"The following only works with Nova Launcher"
What a user recommend I do is press and hold on the home screen -> add a widget -> under Nova Launcher go to activities -> drag and drop activities on the home screen -> then search for visual voicemail at the bottom.
Now I have a shortcut on the home screen to the baked in Visual Voice Mail (I currently do not have the T-Mobile one installed and I just performed a hard reset) the issue is now when I go to settings in the integrated VVM is there is an option to enable VVM and it says "Select a Line" and there is no number to select. I'll upload the photos.

I replied to another user right below yours. It does appear it's baked in. There's a way with Nova Launcher to create a shortcut for it. My issue is I still cannot get it working.

I actually figured it out Saturday night but thanks. The trick was to enable digits via the web and select the unlock option for my line. Then I was able to get the multi line option working. After setting it up, I was able to sign out of multi line and still receive native vvm. (I signed out due to it showing multi line options everywhere.)
So to everyone who hates seeing multi line options everywhere, you can sign out after setup. What really bugged me about it was in messages with my wife, it listed her device model which took up a line for each message in our thread. Signing out of multi line fixed it for me.
