Permanent fix for "Ok Google" - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've found that if anyone is having trouble with the "OK Google" feature not working for them that downloading the offline voice recognitions fixes the issue. I'd tried every possible way to use this awesome feature on the 4.4 GEL launcher. This worked! I've done it already 5 times and it worked every time. So as it sits now this will correct the problem until somebody else figures out a solution or Google fixes the bug for android 4.0+. But they probably won't because of it not really being an issue for anyone running CM11 or having a nexus 7. Also! I've found an awesome app on the play store for free that will let you use the "OK Google" feature anywhere in the android UI. It's still a little buggy and slow but this high school kid did a great job! And it works on the newest version of Google search WITHOUT ROOT.

Hope I've been able to help some folks out with this if your still having an issue finding a way to use this awesome feature Google introduced recently to Kit Kat 4.4.:highfive:

Thanks for this!
Also this post will help for people who still didn't get it to work

If you shake your phone it should bring it up.

I've shook it more than the wife but with no success ? Wonder is its cm9 it don't like
not working here
Hi Sonar doesn't appear to work and there are no obvious settings on my sgs2 running checkrom. Emailed the support and will see what they say
I've been trying to research this since I updated this morning
I have shaken my phone like crazy but nothing, I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times from the android market too. I'm on the HTC thunderbolt with liquid smooth rom
It seems that it has issues with select roms, I'm using aokp now and it works fine. But it does not work with cyan
It didn't work for me until I installed "voice search" (google).
I had previously removed that app thinking I wouldn't want to use it. When I uninstall voice search again, sonar is also not available in dolphin. Installing it again makes it available again.
Running CM7 on HTC Desire
beta no sonar
Hi
Just had reply from support and must say first class service.
It turns out I was on the beta version. Just updated to version 7.4.1 from market and now it works fine.
Now to have a play, voice recognition on first look seems accurate.
P.s. I am running checkrom revohd v 6 its outstanding
Get rid of Sonar
Hi all,
How do I get rid of Sonar? I don't see a setting to disable it. A slight shake and it brings it up. I don't want to talk to my browser in a restroom. Everyone will think I am crazy!!!

Shake or click doesn’t work... It is a bug! I get latest beta apk from dolphin support and seems the issue is fixed now. If you wanner a try, here is the downlink link http://bit.ly/AxuFi8.
I agree with the statement made above. This will work great, as long as you have Google Voice installed
Samsung Captivate
Running MIUI v3.9.7
Google voice
DBHD v7.5.1
drules: open up sonar, then go to the settings(top right). From there you can disable it.

S Voice? Well, it depends

Hey guys...
Just heard about S Voice. It sounds even better than siri. So I gave it a try on our device with CM9 alpha2.
So here it is:
The major function is OK, concerning listening and giving answers. Mount Everest's height can be found, weather OK, and even silly questions.
But the problem is here...
First, it is not quite responsive. Sometimes the button does not respond. However it can be worked around by re-launching it.
Second, the integration with local data does not work. Whenever I tell it to create a new task and/or calendar event, it crashes.
Third, it is not customizable. When you try to change the wake up phrase, it crashes. Worse still, you have to clear the data of the app to revive it.
Na.
Well, just asking if any developer is interested in making it work in our device?

[Q] Google Now not speaking results

I am using ARHD 15.0 based on android version 4.1.1 with Sense and Google Now doesn't speak out the answers. I receive only the written results. Of course i have checked the search settings and enabled 'always' in the voice tab.
I own another HOX on which i have installed Cyanogenmod 10 and it works fine, i receive written and spoken results in Google Now.
Any ideas on how to make it work ?
BTW Google Now beats Siri on almost all subjects; it's quicker and has more possibilities.

i totally agree with you, every feature google is giving out with 4.4 is way before developed by devs here , and yes they will continue the development even further 4.4 , so we do not at all need to mind about googles decision...

No... because it depends on systemUI and android.policy.jar

Strange, on my phone, after installer a couple of kitkat apps (google services, hangout, camera, keep, search, clock) there is no more "contacts" nor "phone calls" (the dialler) to be seen in my apps panel. Can't call anybody anymore :/
and hangout is always slow as hell to launch and work with (tends to kind of "freeze" on an empty screen page while loading / waiting for god knows what). Was used to this lagggggy UI with hangout, but it can't be so sluggish for SMS.

Try greenify from the play store. Your phone might be running out of memory or over loading the CPU. I don't have a single problem. The hangout app actually works faster than the SMS app for me!
Really weird that the phone and contacts apps disappeared though. Something went wrong somewhere. If you don't want to wipe then you can probably dirty flash your ROM to get them back.

No. It doesn't work yet. It FC's. Something is required somewhere. If we figure out what it is then I or someone will post it for you.
I've gotten all the Kitkat apps on my phone and I have no problems at all. I'm glad to see they finally updated their ugly email app. And the camera rotates a lot faster than before. Google Now is awesome. I had mixed feelings about the new launcher at first but its growing on me. The keyboard seems more responsive too. Also, the hangouts app isnt all that laggy for me. It does take a second to load everything when forst opened but after that, its fine. SMS works great with it in my case. Overall, they are great updates. I can't wait to try out the Kitkat OS.

First of all, I downloaded apps from here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
After you get them on your sdcard, most of them can just be installed like normal apk files.

Thanks. I am curious as you mentioned you have no issues, where others have had several; so I thought you had a particular method. Thanks, I'll check em out.

I dont know why people have been having issues. I'm running Kitkat right now. But when I installed all these apps on Jelly Bean, they were running fine for me.

This is just a thought. But when I installed most of these, I was installing them over system apps or I was moving them to system/app to make them system apps. Maybe that makes a difference.
Anyone using the new Google Keyboard? I found out you can type a whole sentence now with the swipe guesture without raising your finger. The space bar is recognized as a swipe input now. I think the developer(s) of the Swype keyboard did that not that long ago but now its in the stock keyboard. Just thought I'd share.
When you were running on jelly bean, did you had any problems receiving or sending any MMS on hangouts?

Anyone have "Ok Google Everywhere" working on their S3?

If so, which ROM are you running?
I'm on the Likewise S5 ROM right now and cannot get it to show up. Tried all the tricks like searching for "Ok Google everwhere" or "Okay Google everywhere" from within Google Now and that made the Audio History option appear under settings->voice, but still no "Ok Google everywhere" from any screen or lock screen.
Even tried UnleashTheGoogle, and that did not help either.

Thanks for the reply, I will give DocHoliday's Sprint Kitkat port a try then and report back. If that doesn't work, then part of it must be server side/account related as some people are suggesting.
Just wanted to confirm that at least someone had it working on their S3.
Edit: Flashed Sprint Kit Kat port from DocHoliday today and Ok Google Everywhere working perfectly. Thanks again for the heads up patcal.
