Google Now Problems.

Does anyone else find that Google Now does not always engage when you say "Google" to activate it?
For me it only responds about once or twice. It works again after a reboot for another once or twice.
Anyone have a fix foe that?

It does this to me sometimes too I just give my phone a reboot and it works again, Hopefully it will get better once the source is released.

For me it keeps FCing. I've tried reinstalling it without luck. Has anyone been having this problem running AOKP build 40?

I have not seen this happen on my gnex. So far Google now has been spot on. It has been a little laggy at times, but no FCs or unresponsive.
Would there be any benefit in reflashing JB. Did something go wrong in the install?

Google Now Voice search
My Google Now doesn't have any working voice-back. When I do a voice search, it only shows a google search result.

Google Voice Search will not speak back with every search results. It will with some searches and request such as weather, definitions, directions, celebrity profile, etc. If you have attempted those and still have no voice response, you may need to download the offline speech recognition.
Go to Settings > Language & input > Speech > Voice Search > Download offline speech recognition. Select the language of your choice and enjoy.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem. I tried downloading the offline speech recognition but it didn't help.
All that google now does for me is display the google search results, but it never provides me with any additional feedback even with the simplest searches, like: "is it going to rain tomorrow" or "who is the ceo of google?".
Anyone has any idea what might be the problem?

Can it be related to, that I'm running Yakjuxw, and not Yakju?
Today, Google Search was updated, bringing additional cards to Google Now. My voice searches are the same, though.
Problem persists.

Bluetooth Headset to launch google Now?

I just got myself a Jawbone ERA, works pretty well, but i;d love it to open google now or voice search via the button, or with some command. Is there a way to enable this on the XS? thanks1

There is an app called Bluetooth Launch that may help you out

I have that installed but it seems to do nothing when set to voice search activity

I would just set it to the Google search activity not voice search also double check that you have Bluetooth bypass checked in your settings under security. Google search"now" should give you the same commands and more than voice search I believe

Did you get this working? I've
1.) Installed the "bluetooth launch" app
2.) Disabled the voice dialer
3.) set bluetooth launch to: a) com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesearchactivity b) com.goog...googlesearch c) com.go...searchactivity
And in each case, I get:
a screen asking if I want to use bluetooth launch or google search (I know that I can permanently set this to search, but won't do so until everything else works consistently)
If I select "google search" I get a screen that says "Say call follow by a name or a number" Although this works fairly well, its not what I'm looking for. I want to be able to activate google now to navigate, play songs, and yes, to dial people.
The "bluetooth launch" app seems like the right app for the job, but "google now" shows up nowhere (that I can find) on it's list of possible actions. We really shouldn't need apps at all. Google now should be on by default, or at least (easily) setup to interact with bluetooth.

I never got anywhere with it in afraid, Google now didn't even seem to listen over bluetooth which is weird

No way to let this function work.

Use Titanium Backup to freeze Voice Dialer (com.android.voicedialer) and set Bluetooth Launcher to launch com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voivesearchactivity. Set Google Now to use Bluetooth Input. This works for me, my Bluetooth headset launches straight into Google Now Voice Search.

Okay Google Everywhere

hey everyone
i am currently trying to get the okay google everywhere function to work. i am running a hispasian 4.4.4 rom which works great. i have tried the tricks posted online and i get nothing.
i am running the 3.6.14 version of google now and google play store 4.9
on my google now app it shows okay google detection in the settings and when i click that all i get is the from google search app ( say okay google to start a voice search from the app).
but when i back out of that i have the audio history feature which says required for features such as using ok google to start a voice search from any screen. i have that feature turned on.
i dont know if im doing somethin wrong or if my play store needs to be updated or what?
thanks
- dan

only update is i can set up my voice to record it with the ok google 3x.
the app says its all set after i do that but i cant turn on the feature in the ok google detection. it keeps saying from google search app.
i even updated my play services to the most current that came out on 10/2

I'm running the same version of google now. From the "OK Google" Detection screen, there should be 3 option boxes. Sounds like you only have the 1st one, From Google Search App. You're missing From Any Screen and From Lock Screen. Maybe uninstall and reinstall Voice.
From Any Screen messes up my voice (chipmunk like) in programs like Skype. So it might not be a big loss for you.

GA voice match doesnt work

https://support.google.com/assistant/thread/924672?hl=en
After V9.3.28 pie updated, I cannot say 'ok google' to launch google assistant.
Although google assistant commands work,
Just voice match grey out and yes you still can press and been told you enable voice match.
But voice match option still grey after all.
Because I do a lot of thing to set up my phone, just want to figure it out only my problem or you guys meet the same thing.

I have met this issue also!
Only real solution was to make factory reset and after that everything was working as advertised!

Question Bugs - Voice Dictation & Lock screen Text

Hi all!
I got my RM8P yesterday. I really like the device, but definitely see the software lackings that everyone has mentioned.
My current bugs:
1. I copied my data from my Pixel 6 Pro to the RMP8. It also copied the lock screen text I had "My Google Pixel 6 Pro, *****es". So when I go into personalized setting to try to change this text, it won't let me. When I click the option, it just goes back to the Settings menu.
2. More importantly, my voice dictation/voice to text functionality is now broken. It was fine until this afternoon when I updated a bunch of apps in Play Store. Now, no voice dictation is working for any app. I've tried every possible app and rebooting. The OK Google still works so it's "hearing" my voice in general.
Any feedback?
Thanks!
EDIT: I figured out that enabling Google Assistant (Hey Google) broke the voice dictation. Strange that it breaks it.

I was about to tell you that disabling hey google fixed the dictation thing. The first os layer is funny af, it does that and doesn't carry the swipe between apps gesture. And a bunch of things, I worked the hey google with the swipe from a corner gesture tbh I don't use Google assistant that much but still it was a thing

I don't use hey Google assistant too often, but I do use it occasionally. It's just strange that I have to choose between enabling that functionality and enabling voice dictation. I guess I'll choose the voice dictation and give up Google assistant or enable it when I feel I need to use it at times. I'm not sure it's a Red Magic thing as it may be a broader Android thing.

Pretty sure it's only a redmagic thing. Their support has been largely useless when I attempted to alert them to this issue.

Hello, I have Alexa installed as the main assistant, if you select it as the default transcription program, it already works for you to transcribe messages. The failure after several tests I have realized that when you select Google as an assistant it stops working, the mobile does not listen to you. I have already opened several incidents on the Magic network page but they only tell me that I formatted the mobile.
