Is there any way to stop the text from showing on to of things on the main screen? It's annoying how it goes over top of things.

Great question. I wish it wasn't there!
A bit late to reply but I hope it helps:
The OK Google bit appears to help you to know that that is when to say it. Once you have done it a few times it doesn't appear anymore.
I did:
1) Press button to fire up the display
2) I said "Ok Google, what is the weather going to be tomorrow"
3) I cleared the results once they had loaded, then pressed the button to power off the screen
4) Pressed the button again to fire up the display
5) "Ok google, what are the share prices?"
6) I cleared the internet search result that it displayed.
After that, no more "Ok Google" everytime the screen fires up. Results may vary, but by 3-4 timers it should definitely have stopped doing it.
Hope this helps.

S Voice doesn't work that well for me. It has a habit of cutting me off mid sentence and when it does work it is often very slow.
Here is a way to to access google voice search directly by double clicking the home button. (I didn't see that this had already been posted).

This link has seven steps, make sure S Voice is set to Lauch by double pressing home before doing step 1.

Very interesting, thanks for this. I'll have to give it a try and test it out. I however turned of the launch feature for S-Voice due to the lag it would create when hitting my home screen. Have any idea if it would still create this lag even if changing the actual app it launches?

Just tried it. Yes the lag is present. I tried disabling the double tap launch for S voice after setting the blue tooth launch app and the voice search feature went away.
Sad to say if you want the double tap for Google voice search, you will have lag.

This is very annoying. Every time I press the weather or time on my Home screen the phone reads everything out loud even the fact that I pressed the settings button with in the time box. When I press the card area, right below the weather and time the phone will read out loud what ever the card is saying even saying out loud that I pressed the card itself. Also when I press a link in my email the phone will say out loud "Link pressed". I have looked in Accessibility and the Google settings and I find no way to turn this off. How do I stop this? This started happening yesterday. Thanks for all and any help.
OK... Need more info

Is anyone else having the issue of their on screen nav buttons cutting off part of the google maps screen? When I'm navigating I can't see the ETA section or hit the 'X' to close navigation. Really annoying. I'm wondering if it's a maps app issue or possibly the ROM I'm using somehow. I'm on the latest ICE custom ROM. Also, it might be related, but when the pop up asking which app i want to use for various options pops up (ie when I click a number to call it asks if I want to use phone or skype) I can't click on the 'Just Once' or 'Always' option because it makes me hit the nav keys (even though I am hitting the 'Always' selection). Thanks for any help.
After using google reminders for years ("Ok google...remind me about laundry in 45 minutes")..i have suddenly encountered a strange problem. When i say a reminder command, the "ready to save?" screeen comes up, showing the reminder title, time etc...and then there is the blue check mark to confirm and save reminder.
The issue is, when i touch the checkmark, 95% of the time, the screen just minimizes and goes to my home screen. The "reminder saved" window doesn't come up, and the reminder does not get saved. Anyone experienced this issue before? It just started happening about 3 weeks ago, and once in a while, it will actually save the reminder, but 95% of the time it just closes the window, and goes to the home screen, and the reminder is not saved. Please help!!! thanks
It is probably the same update that broke my ok Google confirmation tone. Revert back to an earlier version and test. My tone reverted to a vibrate after saying ok google, which most of the time, when you're talking to your phone, you are hands free so you don't hear an audible tone to know to start talking. I reverted to the version before update and all is right with Google again lol.
The lasted Google Now version is also bugging me. Sometimes it pops up the voice recording when I plug my headphones in for no reason. This didn't happen before. I'm pretty sure it's the app that I'd bugged

I still get assistant popping up (the get started screen ,voice training) Everytime I say "OK Google " when the screen is on . I would like to totally turn it off and just use assistant by holding down home screen button. Still listens after I go into Google settings and turn off hotword detection .

Skynet is always listening
Stop saying "OK Google"? It's not like you accidentally say that phrase

Check out Google history. Not talking browser but the actual google history. Has all sorts of stuff I said in there :silly:
I had to reboot my phone for it to take effect. I saved more battery!

I just checked my history and it only lists what I said when long pressing for Google assistant, I thought you meant it was going to list every conversation I had while phone being next to me lol

Because you're in Google! That feature can't be turned off.
The hot word detection is for when you're in a different app.
