say "google" doesn't activate voice search?

Hi guys:
I have noticed a weird thing, I know there's a feature that you can say "google" after holding the home button and drag it to the google icon to activate the voice search. It works fine on me for a while, but I realized that after a while it doesn't work. Moreover, after a reboot, it would work again. Regular voice search still works fine by pressing the microphone button. Anyone know what's going on? I am on stock jellybean btw, but only rooted.

So it only works every now and again?
Also dragging any of the soft buttons up opens google now.

I have the same issue. The hotword option just randomly disappears. If you go into Google Now/Settings/Voice, the option to toggle it off and on is even gone. When you reboot it comes back, but then randomly disappears again at some point.

I had the same problem and realized i had the language under Google Now/settings/voice/language set to English (Australian).
After changing it back to Default-English (US), I have been able to consistently see the "say Google" option in the main Google Now page.

I have exactly the same problem, the language is always English (US), it still randomly disappears.

Do you use Light flow? I have noticed toggling "Accessibility" off and on when Light flow glitches out for me, or using Swype seems to kill hotword detection. Rebooting always seems to bring it back though

I use both, light flow and Swype Beta. Which is killing the hot word detection ? How are they interfering anyway :s

I know from reading the issues log Light flow uses the Accessibility service. When you toggle Accessibility on and off, hotword detection disappears. It will just say "Search" in Google Now instead of Search or say Google. Dont know why but try it and youll see best way to avoid it is to not toggle that or just reboot after it happens

is there a good replacement for light flow ?

I only use lightflow, not swype, so I am sure lightflow will interfere for sure.

the same problem in here
just got an update of lightflow - we'll see how it rolls
anyway google now 'google' saying works only when EN(US) is set as language
what is more - i see that any internal integration (e.g. saying 'set timer for 10 minutes') works as well only when the overall system language is set to EN(US)

I noticed this last week also. When it wouldnt respond to saying "Google" it didnt say "Search, or say Google" in the textbox on the voice Search (Google Now) page.
I uninstalled Lightflow and not had any issues since.

I've noticed that the hot word and hot word option only appears when you have English us set.
Change to English uk and they both don't work, also the other hot word functions, send email etc don't work as well.

Disabling light flow and restarting the phone fixes it.

Accessibility messing up LG keyboard

Hi guys,
I just came across a very strange issue.
I downloaded a notifications app yesterday and since such apps need accessibility service turned on, I promptly did that in the accessibility settings.
But after this, I noticed that the LG keyboard suddenly changed from the default path keyboard to a normal AOSP type keyboard with TALKBACK turned on!!!! Which means that each time I typed there was a voice calling out the key I pressed, which was terribly annoying to say the least.
I thot maybe i could change it back to default in language settngs but to my amazement all settings in the LG keyboard had been greyed out, so nothing could be changed.
finally after trying everything possible, I disabled accessibility service for the notifications app, and lo and behold the default keyboard was back!
Queries
1) has anybody experienced this behaviour before ? If not , you can try it, it is reversible, so no harm
2) any solutions?
Cheers

I was only able to shut it off by actually shutting the talk back engine using titanium. In titanium go to "freeze apps" and freeze "samsung text-to-speech engine." Of course when you do this, your phone will never be able to talk back. I am sure there are other ways to do it, but this is what I could come up with.

Yep, that's really annoying when using the stock browser! For some reason sammy took out the Google TTS options.
Here's the 2 options to avoid the annoying audio feedbakcks:
1, install Google TTS, here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472959
2. Chrome browser.

I have the galaxy note 3. .. I can't figure how to turn this feature off... highly annoying!!!!!

This has been happening since the s3. Anytime you have anything under accessibility on, the phone starts talking. Samsung has been notified of this and have yet to fix it.

page loaded tts talkback issue caused by galaxy gear

From my phone I selected Samsung Galaxy Gear on the pull down menu. Then My Apps / Installed Apps / FBQuickview / settings.
Then in Set Accessibility turned off Receive Notifications.
Pity it stuffs up the Facebook notifications on your new watch but it stops that awful voice over TTS , Talkback which plays even if it's turned off.

Potentially related. Tts enabled in stock browser out of box. Changing this from the settings menu did nothing. To disable tts in browser I had to enable the accessibility shortcut via the power key. I noticed that even though talkback was off in settings. the shortcut on the power Key menu showed that it was on. when pressed from this menu,it turns on tts. When pressed again, it turns off tts and then it finally shows in this menu that tts is off. The browser then will not use tts. I then hard reset the device and Verified this procedure a second time. Problem solved with no third party software.

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.

Nobody fixed this problem. Someone can help me?

Hi developers. I hope i can find a resolve for my problem.
I have n7100 I can get sms, i can call but i cant hear and My voice does not go to the opposite side.
But I can call with viber or WhatsApp app. My microphone and my speaker is working. My Imei is orginal. I did try with too much ROMs. But all the same. What can I do for that?
Thanks for your interest.

Just went into Settings -> Google account -> Search -> "OK Google" detection -> From Any Screen (turn it off) - I left the voice command only on for google now app.
this should be related with google now
do you have KitKat rom?
