"OK Google" hotword detection does not work

Soo, the hotword detection from the main screen does not work, but if i press the mic button, it works. Anyone got an idea why that happens?
I've turned on "OK Google hotword detection" in the settings, and the mic symbol is filled white, so that can't be the problem.

I have the same problem too. I used cm10.2 rom, I clean install again cm10.2. The problem remains.
I flash liquidsmooth unofficial 4.4 rom. The same, it did not work. I made a trick with liquidsmooth launcher that allows you to create custom hotword and it worked but only to get to Google search app and say something once. After the first search it doesn't recognize ok google. Only if you press the microphone you can say commands. Very strange

OK Google hotword detection doesn't work.

OK Google hotword detection doesn't work at all for me. I can manually select the microphone in Google Now and voice search works, but it doesn't detect OK Google. Furthermore I can't set up OK Google hotword detection from any screen. I can get to the screen where it says to say OK Google three times, which I do, but nothing at all happens. Audio History is on, language is English (US). I don't see any setting on the phone or in Google that would seem to block it.
Weirdly this post was originally only going to be about setting up the hotword detection from any screen, I've never been able to set that up, but at the very least, detection from Google Now worked fine. But just testing it when typing this post up, I realized that even that doesn't work anymore, but it did like a week ago.
I'm rooted but basically stock, no custom recovery. Only change would be deleting a couple stock apps and adding back/home/menu softkeys at the bottom of the screen. What gives? Anyone have an idea?

Simple as disabling on screen phone in settings
I had the same problem and disabling on screen phone in settings fixed it instantly.

[Q] google voice search not auto launching?

Is anyone else having an issue with Google voice search always listening and not launching on the ok google command? Ive tried to re train several times now, turning off the settings rebooting, and then turning them all back on again, but i still almost always have to manually launch Google search.
What's funny, is both my old galaxy s3 and nexus 7 hear me, and auto launch, but the new note 4 doesn't.
Had anyone seen a fix for this issue anywhere?

Are you using a different lockscreen, or no lockscreen?
When I tried AcDisplay and the Microsoft Next lockscreen, OK Google wouldnt work with the phone off. It also wouldnt work if I had lockscreen set to "None"
Also, i think you need to have the Google Text to speech selected for it to work. I recall selecting the Samsung TTS engine once and it didnt work.

Another note. If you set up for phone to always listen per that other thread regarding Google Search "Ok Google" waking phone from sleep, I found after setting up secure lockscreen unlock using the fingerprint scanner, this option to wake the phone no longer works. Don't know if that is any part of your issue as described or not.

Standard lock screen, no fingerprint lock. I think i corrected it b qith b a suggestion in a post about this at android authority.
They suggested checki n g the samsung svoice settings, and setting it to the opposite of what it was set as. In my case, I had to turn svoice "wakeup on lock" off.
I suspect a conflict between svoice and google voice search.

Google Now "ok google" From Any Screen glitch

So I've found an annoying glitch...
On my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at&t I've enabled google now/ voice search.
Whenever I go into settings>voice>"ok google" detection and enable "From any screen", it will work one time, but after I hit home, it will not detect "ok google" from any screen, other than long pressing Home.
I've worked to try troubleshooting it myself, and have disabled the darned, piss-off S-Voice crap, but have had no luck.
Also I've noticed that the one initial time you are able to open voice search from any screen, the voice search app UI will not show up, unless the search bar is enabled on your desktop. (I'm using nova launcher, so I'll test with "Google Now" launcher also).
Other than that, anyone else know of a way to fix this? One result I've found while googling this issue is enabled English as your primary language... Did not help.
Thanks!

UPDATE:
Google Now Launcher:
Similar problem, but mostly works from Home screen.
Still no "from any screen" capabilities. smh

Lenovo P2 : Make "Ok Google" work when screen is off ?

Unlike more recent phones (like say my Nokia 8) I am UNABLE to get my trusty daily driver, the P2, to wake up when the screen is off even though I have "Voice Match with Screen Off" activated in the Google Assistant settings. The screen HAS to be on (pressing home button, double tap, etc...) for the "OK Google" command to work and then it will correctly unlock the phone with my voice.
Has anyone found a workaround for this (forcing microphone to stay on somehow? or am I maybe missing an obvious setting on the P2 ? Thanks !

It can only be done with screen on however, you can activate google assistant in screen off when your phone is being charged.

ok I suppose that's a limitation of our older phone...Actually I think the "listen while charging" option was the old "Ok Google", the Google Assistant doesn't have that anymore as I can tell.

Older phone? Nah, keeping mic on all the time costs battery and and this is dependent on the manufacturer and chipset which decide the features set. Droid Maxx was even older phone but it had that feature because it had a separate low power core for listening to OK Google Now.

Right, it's just that now most (all ?) phones would have that enabled.
I couldn't find an app to force the MIC to stay on but with "WaveUp", you can wave your hand above the sensor to turn on the screen and then use "OK Google".

And this is perfect explanation.
Is anyone really willing to be monitored by Google all the time ?
