"Say Google" removed?

When launching google now, yesterday I could either type in the search, or click on the mic and start talking OR saying "Google" and the phone will automatically start hearing my search inquiry.
Today, it seems that "Say Google" is completely removed? I haven't done any updates, what's going on?
Anyone facing this problem or know how might I get the "say Google" back?

As far as I know, it only works if Google Now is open...
it doesn't work from the home screen or other places.

I know that it only works for US English. Ensure that you are in fact on US English for your language.

I understand that, the problem is, it's even removed from there! The settings is also removed !
Please guys check your phones to confirm.
PS: The language is English(US), check 2nd picture

A lot of people reported many problems with Google Now being fixed once you download the offline engine. You try that?

mine are also gone. i never tried pressing the voice button when starting google now but this time there is not even an option that instruct us to say google now anymore. on 4.1 it was there. 4.1.1 has none.

I still have the option to say "Google" and it works just fine.

Yep, me too. Still able to say Google on US English that is (it sucks how UK English lacks features).

Did you perhaps turn it off?? It's under settings in Google now.

I have the same issue as OP.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.0.1, but the same thing happened with AOSP JB. When I flashed it I could say 'Google' in Google Now but some time after getting the phone set up I lost that ability. I've also lost the 'Hot word' menu option in the Google Now->Voice settings.Everything is Default US English. And I have the offline engine downloaded and I can still tap the microphone icon to voice search.
Weird thing is: I was showing it off to a few friends in a restaurant last night and it was working again. Now this morning, it's gone again.

It worked once for me.
I backed out, went to try again and it didn't work.

hi guys, im the OP. just want to say, the problem is solved.
I simply rebooted the phone and it magically reappeared. I didn't touch anything. This is very weird.

I think it has to do with the language selection right inside Google Now's settings under Voice.
If you tap on English it gives you the various types of English to choose from.
When I select "English Canada" the ability to say "Google" is missing.
However if I specifically select "English US" it reappears instantly.

I tried all English version available. No luck. Well of course, as a heavy flashers, I rebooted many times.

I just want to say that it's randomly getting removed after a while and I hard reboot will sometime bring it back. I have no reason why this is happening, if anyone has a clue, please share.

hey guys I just found out, after I reboot everything works fine, the "say google" is there, but lightflow doesn't work. However, after I went into accessibility and turn light flow off and on again (it was on) lightflow works again, but the "say google" disappears.

yea, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778659
Light Flow is probably causing the problem

[Q] Google Voice Speech to Text often unavailable since JB update

Ever since the Jelly Bean update the Google Voice function has been intermittently unavailable. If I keep canceling it out and opening it back up eventually it works. I did a factory reset and it didn't help. No one has posted about the issue so I wondered am I the only one? And is there a fix for it? Thanks, Jeff.
Note: Sometimes if I wait long enough the error that pops up says server unavailable.
App is called "Voice Search" by Google Inc and is version 2.1.4

You need to download "google search" that is google now. Both should be downloaded and in tts settings should be set to whatever you use. I use ivona because it sounds much better like a real voice.

Also every portion of the phone needs to be set to US english... the google now settings, tts settings, and the keyboard i believe....

It's not either of those. It's installed already and set up correctly. I even have english downloaded for offline use. I forgot to mention I'm all stock touchwiz never rooted, so there's no excuse for this issue. I don't know if the JellyBean data Keis put on my phone was corrupted somehow, or if everyone else has this issue but found a solution. That said does anyone have this problem or just me?

Well not everything gets spoken, but try to duplicate the issue again.... Ask it the same question over and over... ask it what time is it, it always reads that... then ask it who is the president of the united states, or what is the date.... all of those get read back... see if stumbles, and report back, and also report have u tried any resets or anything... stock jb?

I think I figured it out. My Smart Keyboard wants to use the voice and so did Google Voice Typing, so I unchecked the one I don't use and for the last minute I've had no issue. It will be a few days before I can be sure but I usually have this problem pretty frequently.

Saying google while in google now makes it listen...

I was wrong about figuring this out by un-checking one of the voice keyboards in the keyboard menu. That solution worked out of coincidence.
I found that I could fix it every time I restarted; then I found I could go into airplane mode and back out to fix it; then I tried all the things airplane mode affected and found that I could turn off Bluetooth and it would work, and when I turned on Bluetooth it would stop working. I found this while sitting in my car which connects my Bluetooth to the radio and a microphone above my head. I will try to narrow the problem down further to see if any other Bluetooth situations cause the issue, and I will report back.

I've the the problem with bluetooth as well, but I literally just started experiencing the issue without bluetooth enabled about 5 minutes ago. No matter what I do Google can't connect to the server.

Turns out it's something with my router's configuration. When I disabled wifi on the phone it started working. Anyone have any ideas what router settings might interfere with Google's voice recognition?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Okay, after some Googling I setup port forwarding for port 19294 and now it's working. Not sure why this new router is blocking that port as none of the others I've used ever have...

I am experiencing this issue as well. At home on wifi, google voice comes on right away and listens. On the road (in the car and with bluetooth on) it keeps saying initializing. Today I will try voice recognition in the car with bluetooth turned off and will report back.

[Q] Google search stopped speaking to me!?

Google search is no longer speaking results back to me! It was fine yesterday?
I did have 'speak to it assistant' installed. But i uninstalled it... yesterday.
I have re-installed 'assistant', but still get no voice from google search.. i do get voice from 'assistant'
I've looked in settings & it says 'speech output - always speak'

[Q] Voice search "Can't reach Google at the moment" (Solved)

I'm running Liquid Smooth 2.5 and have just found that anytime I try and use voice search the microphone icon glows as if it is recognizing but as soon as it goes to search it just errors out with "Cannot reach Google at the moment". Has anyone else encountered this and are there any suggested fixes? I found some threads of making sure the device date and time is correct. It is. Interestingly I just tried on my rooted stock N7 and same thing... Yet I also just tried on my wife's Asus TF300t and it is working properly... I've checked all google account settings I can think of and can't see anything abnormal.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try clearing data for the Google Framework

Signal bars are blue both on wifi and on data with good signal. I just tried clearing Google Services Framework... No go still unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion however.

I will try refreshing Gapps when I get a chance but the thing that has me puzzled is why my stock rooted N7 is doing the same thing. I can't help but think it is an issue with my account or something. I haven't changed any settings recently that I know of. if it was just a Gapps issue I would have thought it would be isolated to just my SGS3. It isn't likely a location issue as my Wife's tablet is working fine.... Definitely confused...

And all of these are connected to your WiFi?
Remove and Re-add your google account on the affected devices.

Just to try I added my wife's account into Google now and tried voice searching with her account from my N7 and it didn't work either. It works from her tablet. I think this means it is not a ROM issue but rather a settings or similar issue. I will try a Gapps refresh later to see what happens. If anyone else has experienced this regardless of whether there is a fix I'd be curious to know. if others have I may submit it to Google. if it is just a weird issue for me I'd rather try working through it.

I've been having this problem too with an HTC One on a Sense-based custom ROM, and a HTC Evo 4G LTE both stock and custom. I've found better success uninstalling the updates to the Google Search app though it's still slower than it used to be. Some more people have talked about it here... http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...-google-moment-while-online-voice-typing.html
Doesn't seem like there's much of a solution or acknowledgment by Google that there's a problem.

I fixed the issue!! On a hunch I decided to delete my Google account from the phone completely. I then booted to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik. Rebooted and added my Google account back in... it is now working as it used to. If anyone else is having the issue I would recommend trying this and see if it helps you as well.

Almost forgot but I'd really like to thank everyone who contributed ideas and thoughts!

I just verified this fixed my N7 as well!

Thanks

My impression from searches on Google's forums is that this is a fairly prevalent problem. I don't know what causes it, but I've seen it on S4s, too. I just wanted to add that, anecdotally, I tried clearing the cache (though not dalvik) and removing the Google account, to no avail; however, I found a much simpler solution:
Settings, My Device, Language and input
Change Voice recognizer from Google to something else (in my case Samsung powered by Vlingo)
(Optional) Change Voice recognizer back to Google
This resolved the issue for me, please let me know if it works for others (I don't need a thumbs-up or anything, I'm honestly just curious if it's that simple and we're making it out to be more difficult.)

[issue][cm12.1] no sound in calls

Fist I thought it was a modem related issue, flashed a new modem and all working for two months..
Then, after various nightly updates the problem is back again. Who have the no sound call issue on cyanogenmod firmware?
It is a kernel problem?
I created this thread to exchange ideas and maybe help @arco68 to fix the problem.
FIX
"Apparently low latency audio might be problematic on msm8960/msm8930 devices, and it seems that it's not enabled in Samsung stock rom either." @arco68
So, to fix you must delete theese lines from audio_policy.conf file:
Code:
fast {
sampling_rates 8000|11025|12000|16000|22050|24000|32000|44100|48000

Possible solution
Hi,
I had this problem 3 months ago for the first time and I have not been able to solve it with any ROM I've tried. Then someone suggested me to install the app Disable service and going to system services menu, uncheck "check in service" in the google services. It works!
Now the problem appears only 1 or 2 times a week... I think the matter is that sometimes the app disable service doesn't start automatically or can't obtain root permissions.
Try it... and good luck!

About check in service
Hi DavidMLondon,
I don't know what google check in service does, but I don't use google now so I can't say if it's necessary for that or no. I had no general problem disabling check in service and as I said, before that I had the no sound in call problem every day (also two times....I mean 2 reboot needed), now I have it 1 or 2 times at week.... I don't know why...

I´m not sure this is caused by the same issue but maybe there is something into it.
So well I´m still on 5.0.2. It´s the latest release before Arne switched over to 5.1.1. Baseband is COC2.
By reading about your mic issues I wanted to check if my device is involved into it as well as I never had to deal with this issue. So Used the OK Google function first and then I called myself from a stationary phone. All was fine. Just later my wife called me and all I could hear is a horrible noise comming out of my speaker. The phone app crashed and keept crashing till I rebooted the device.
Then I disabled OK Google detection and all is fine so far. At least for normal calls. Just am experiencing something simmilar by making calls via Whatsapp. When the connection is bad and I´m getting the reconnect signal, my mic stops working when it gets reconnected again. It also keeps not to work when I finish the call and recall the person.

Now I'm on 30/06 nigthly and COD3 baseband and can't reproduce the issue, all working.
Does people have the no sound issue have disabled vibrations on soft touch buttons? This is the first time I left that enabled after a clean install and all works good.

Man! Please update your radio: Please check http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/ for the recent radio of your country , and download the radio-file over xda forums.
Then disable the "OK Google" detection and also disable Google play services' "checkinservice".

I had this issue today. i heard the first few words of the caller then the sound went intermittent 'robotic' for a sec and then it was silent. the next call as well. I rebooted i had no calls for an hour it worked after. but i had this on prev builds just didnt know it was my phone causing it, thought its the network maybe, but now im sure its not. im checking my baseband ver a bit later, and i might try to update it.
my current modem is I9195XXUBML4.

Hey people. I just made the move to 5.1.1 using Tipsy ROM available on Google+ and was suffering from similar issues like you lot. My calls would sometimes lose sound or drop or sound very distorted. I also had problems with Google voice search. I was using the latest modern COD3 from a stock kit Kat. But dev had no such issues. So I changed my modem to the one the ROM dev was using which was an older version xxucnk5 and all my phone call issues disappeared including Google voice search issues. Don't know of this helps anyone? Using i9195 LTE here.

If someone could test the following, that would be great.
