Google Assistant with Voice Detection - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

Is there anybody can use voice with "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" to turn on Google Assistant while pixel's screen is on as well as off ?
I have tried in many ways but nothing worked. But 2 years ago, i could call Google Assistant with "Ok Google" even the screen is off when my phone was Samsung S7 at that time.
Is it true that this function has been eliminated by Google ?

Yes. Works with both screen on and off and has for a long time. You may need to retrain your voice and make sure all the correct settings are enabled.

I'm on Pixel 4 XL. Thought you were as well since you posted in the Pixel 4 XL forum.
I do have a Pixel 2 XL and it works with both screen off and on as well on last stock factory image, Android 11.
My Voice model is there as well under "Hey Google" setting (your OK Google setting" Maybe you need to clear data and cache from the Google app and try to set it up again? Sounds like your Google app may be outdated or something since it says "OK Google" instead of "Hey Google".

Google Now - No App for notes

When I'm in Google Now I should be able to say "Note to self" to make a reminder in the Todoist (or any other note app).
I have Todoist and Google Keep installed but everytime I try making a note, it tells me that there is no notes app installed.
The command itself is recognized correctly.
Any Ideas?

Working fine here. Possibly you need to change your google AND system language to english (us)
Okay I just changed my languages to German and tried it, I couldn't reproduce your error. See Screenshot. My last idea is that you have to be signed in in your google apps or establish some kind of linkage between now and keep.
Okay problem.fixed: gmail app needs to be installed (god knows why)
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
I just fixed this error by going to Settings -> Security -> Apps with usage access, and enabling Google Play Services.
This appears to be linked to an app being open that does something with system sound. I get this error occasionally and if I close apps in memory it goes away.
I have noticed this error often when I am using Google Maps for navigation, the phone is "off" (screen off, phone locked, still giving directions - you know), and I say "Ok Google.....Note to Self blah blah blah". Google Now will sometimes show "No notes app installed". But if I immediately say the same thing again ("Ok Google" trigger phrase or pressing the mic button then the "Note to self....") it works without issue. Any suggestions?
A little more info: I'm running Android 6.0.1 on a Nexus 5X on Project Fi
I know this is an old thread, but it shows up in searches...
Essential, Oreo 8.1.
Same problem, with Wunderlist.
Fixed by going to Security -> Google Services and Preferences -> Sign-in and Security -> Less Secure Apps -> Turn on.

Sound search integration with search bar

I've searched around and haven't seen anything about this. Does anyone know if sound search natively integrates with the search bar and if not is there a way to do it? I'm using Shazam right now but I would love to be able to say "okay Google" from anywhere and tag a song. Thanks!
Are you trying to use Ok Google to tag using the Google Sound search, or use it for Shazam somehow?
Not sure if this will answer your question, but Google Now offers "Ok Google" detection from any screen.
Open Google Now, and visit the Settings.

Go into Voice.
You will have to train your phone to detect your voice to recognize the hot phrase from any screen, including your lock screen.

I would like to use it with either Sound Search or Shazam but I figured since SS is Google it might work easier. I already have okay Google everywhere
You can ask google now "What song's playing?" and it will tell you, and add the result to your sound search history.

Moto Voice no longer functions

After the recent Moto Voice update in the play store, my Moto Voice no longer works. When I go into Voice options, it won't let me check the Launch Phrase checkbox. Anyone else getting this?

So I was looking into this on my phone. I disabled the launch phrase and then it seemed like I was having the same issue that you were having. After selecting the launch phrase option again, to turn it back on, I had to wait 5 to 10 seconds or so for it to actually register and check the appropriate box.
Have you tried enabling and then waiting to see if it registers? My guess is that there is something going on in the background when enabling moto voice that is causing the delay.

I tried this and it still wasn't working. Then I rebooted and tried again, and it worked! There was about a 4-5 second delay like you said, but it came on. Thanks for the tip!

Was having the same problem it seems to be an issue with a buggy update to Moto Voice. I went to Settings>Apps>All>Moto Voice and hit "uninstall updates." That seemed to fix it. It installed the update again and it works correctly this time.

Question before the purchase P10

Hello Huawei P10 users, I have a question about its combination key.
I am a fan of Google assistant, is it easy to bring out Google assistant using the swipe up gesture ?

Yes it is. Just swipe up from the most bottom and the assistant opens.
Thanks @janomag, also is "Google assistant" working off screen?
Yes.
And also, you can always say "OK Google" and Assistant opens. I do have to shout a bit louder than usual though, not sure why.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood what you said by "off screen". No, Google Assistant is not activated when the screen is locked and that's one thing I miss from OnePlus 3..

Thanks for the clarification. BTW, I had P8 and P9, now it constantly has a "not be able to record now" issue. Which I have to disable the google assistant anywhere.

I have never seen this issue and I am actually using Google Assistant more and more. I don't have Shazam, but I have Soundhound which is probably using the APIs in the same way. So most likely is fixed..

Thanks @vicusbass, it's really helpful . The issue even happens when I open the camera and record video (since video will record sound ). I had to manually click alway the dialog several times every time I record video.

I'd there a way to turn off Bixby voice wakeup?

I used voice for camera photos a lot more than for Bixby voice wakeup, and googled to find the solution, but it doesn't look like they're is any option anywhere to turn off the Bixby voice wakeup. You would think that something the voice option in camera would bring up a Bixby voice toggle, but nope.
Disabling the system Bixby voice app doesn't even kill Bixby voice.. the only thing that does is uninstalling the Bixby update, but of course the Shop Samsung app then just wants to update it again anyway.

well worth the couple dollars....i have everything bixby related disabled
The link is broken. Any other way to get the app?
If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to freeze all Bixby modules.
Adhell 3 can easily block any package plus it has the added benefit of system wide ad-blocking. Use this guide to setup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/adhell-3-1-assistance-t3873831 (its post 3 or 4 I think that has the instructions). Enjoy! Its a bit of a pain to setup but works beautifully after its all done.
Or simply use adb command(s). Listed under Bixby
