I installed the new Google Search and the new Play Services in the hopes of getting the new always on OK GOOGLE to work, but so far no go. I know it has to be turned on from Googles side, but has anyone have it not work, then start working?
EDIT-I think I figured out how to make it work:
For those who dont have it activated yet, I think I figured out how to turn it on.
Google search>menu>Settings>Voice>OK Google detection>Menu button>Help & Feedback>scroll down and hit Audio History>Touch the plus next to See Your Audio History. At this point you should have to sign in to Google to turn on Audio History. Go back in to settings>voice and make sure Audio History is on.
After I did this the options appeared in OK Google Detection to use the hotword OK GOOGLE from any screen and from lock screen.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SEARCH 3.5.15 AND PLAY SERVICES 5.0 FOR THIS TO WORK
There's an Xposed module called Ok Google for 3rd party activities that will allow you to call out Ok Google from the home screens.

Did you go into account -> Google -> search and enable it? Works on my phone.
And you can say OK Google from say Chrome and it will work?

Yeah, I only enabled it to test and it worked while I was typing the last post. I'm on viper rom btw if that makes a difference.
Wow,... Your in the minority, from what I've read. It hasn't been turned on yet for my account by Google. Search 3.5.15 came out today and I was hoping, but not yet. I still don't have the options yet in my settings.
Have to click the search bar first, but works for me.(in u.s.a. with stock launcher)

OK Google works for me, even on the lock screen. The only time it doesn't work is when the phone is asleep.

There's a new Google search that has to be turned on by Google for it to work correctly. But after they do you can just say OK Google, even in a game, and it will work. But Google is slow so far activating it to everyone.

Then it doesn't work as I am explaining it. Once Google turns it on for your account you can just say OK Google, anywhere including the lock screen and screen off while charging, and have it work. No need to touch anything.
Basically just like the Moto X.
I forgot to mention that my search was updated yesterday to 3.5.15, newer than what came out last week with the new always on search, but it still hasnt been turned on by Google for me.
For those who dont have it activated yet, I think I figured out how to turn it on.
Google search>menu>Settings>Voice>OK Google detection>Menu button>Help & Feedback>scroll down and hit Audio History>Touch the plus next to See Your Audio History.

I haven't been to these forums in a while (been bogged down with life crap), but I'm glad I came here today! This is the first I'm hearing about this. I've been envious of this feature ever since I read about the Moto X.
The options were there on my HTC One, and it's working. Now I just have to be careful not to talk about anything the NSA might be interested in! Ha ha.

If you search "Ok Google Everywhere" in the app then the option will appear in voice settings.

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

It is a little worrying that it seems like a Google Settings app just appears without any interaction from me...can't even see which Google app got updated?
It just appeared on my device too...
It has here as well, how very odd!

Ok, after some brief digging around. It appears it is part of Google Play Services.. Which before no one was entirely sure what it was used for, it appears we now have an idea.. To use as a gateway for Google to install their loot on your device at will.
That app is the only one I have open.. As you see, Google Play Services is responsible for it.

There was zero notification either!
Seems to have a lot of perms too.
Yup, if you hold and drag to App Info it shows as Google Play Services.
The strange part of it is.. I have my Nexus 10 sitting right in front of me and that app doesn't exist and I have no updates.
I was wondering why my internet connection lagged so bad to the point where I couldn't do anything.. Then this settings app showed up.
Have not got it. Is it only those with G+ who have received it?

This explains all the google wake locks I have been getting over the past few days. They have been doing this in pieces. I went in and froze the play services and the locks are gone for now.

I Don't use my maps at all and i turned off all the setting as you can see and i dont have GPS on. so can anyone maybe take a guess why its take so much battery and its never under active apps. and i posted the setting in the pics any suggestions? I try to turn off my data when im not using it?

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.
Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.
I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

I just did that, but do I need to update to the latest maps though? I'm guessing No, cuz the latest update has people complaining about the battery drain.

I have the latest google search and google play services. Running cleanrom 3.5. Earlier in the week i tried the unlockgoogle method but no result. Tried the most recent idea of "ok google everywhere" and tried "okay google everywhere", same result, only option I get is within google search app. Have audio history turned on.
Did you change the voice to US English?
Mine wouldn't work with UK English, but did when changed to US.
Even got it working on my stock 4.4 Xperia Z.

I did a full wipe and reinstall of cleanrom, updated everything in google play before doing anything else, and now it appears. Will see if restore of apps makes it disappear again.
I have the option to enable it, but when I get to the setup screen where you're supposed to say "OK Google" 3x, nothing happens. Also, I've realized that "OK Google" doesn't even work within Google Now. It just doesn't register that I've said anything. But if I click the mic icon, I can use the voice search. It's just the hotword detection that doesn't work at all. I've got a VZW Note 3, rooted stock ROM, stock recovery.
Just wondering if anyone else with a Note 3 is having the same issue. If it's device related, I can stop trying until the next official update from VZW. Which will probably be just under 3 years from now
