"OK Google" Detection with Screen Off - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought the always listening feature was available on the newer snapdragon processors (805 and higher). The option to enable "" OK Google" with the screen off and not charging is not available. I'm on the AT&T version.
Any body know why it isn't available? Is it the processor, model, an LG thing, or maybe an update needed on Googles end?

That's very strange, I'm not on the AT&T version (international H815 version), but the ability to search Google from any screen is definitely there. I just trained the app to recognise my voice and it's working perfectly fine. I don't use it since it's a severe battery drainer, but it looks like that's something that AT&T has disabled on their version of the ROM.
If so.. damn. That really sucks! So glad I went with an international variant at this point. Good luck to you!

The option is there to turn it on from any screen, just not when the screen is off like the Nexus 6, Moto X, and I believe even the S6 has the ability through Google now instead of S-Voice.

Edit: I've also attached a screenshot from my Nexus 6 (It's been reset and haven't logged back into my account. That's the reason for the message). It has the "Always On" option. That's the one I'm looking for.

Ah I misread what you wrote in the OP. Yeah, you can't do it with this phone apparently. It must be disabled in the stock ROM since my Nexus 6 does it perfectly fine with the screen off.

Verizon has the ability from any app and with screen off BUT screen off is only if you are charging.

I've only heard of screen off working if the phone is connected to a charger. That's how all my devices have worked, including the 2012 Nexus 7.
Signature edited to appease the OCD's

I have the H811 and Google Now works with the screen off/charging, but not off the charger.

No that "root" has now been established on the G4, does anyone think that this may now be a possibility? That is one of the features i miss from the Nexus 6

It should be possible once someone figures it out. I'll do some digging to see if it is a simple thing to do.

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.
I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.
another defect i suppose
I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!
BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

Day one with my S3

I've never loved a device so much. I think...I think i'm in love. From the gorgeous screen, to the amazing NFC...to the fact that google just randomly gave me 10$...to the ease of use of the toolkit in the dev section, the simplicity of rooting...the BUTTER smooth interface...its just...its just...ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
cool story bro.

did you have to add a prepaid card to get the $10 or just activating activating google wallet?
Yeah, I loved it when google gave me $10 free for google wallet. I got like 6 sodas from a paypass enabled vending machine after that lol.

i mean, i guess my point is...Out of all the android phones i've upgraded to, this one seems the farthest in terms of difference from one to the next. Its just so much better in so many little ways.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?

Anyone know where the update is (Moto Connect)?

I found some references to a new version supposedly released yesterday
(Example):http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/06/m...tracker-custom-watch-face-maker-for-moto-360/
I'm interested in the "Moto Body" stuff. My biggest complaint so far in the fitness items on the 360 is they live only on the watch so you don't get much for a rich interface with history.. if moto body unifies this it would be pretty cool, so I'd like to play with it.
Anyone get the download yet, or know where to find the apk?
http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2014/11/moto-360-choose-watch-that-fits-your.html?m=1
Motorola said it'll be released in a few days. So assume this weekend or early next week
I thought it might be a slow roll-out that other users had gotten already.. was hoping to side load and play around... I hate waiting!

I got the update. The new My Design way of making a watchface is very fast and looks great. Obviously not as detailed as Facer/WatchMaker, but not a bad solution considering.
Some of the new stock watchfaces were nice too. I can see my wife enjoying the "Blossoms" once, more so if you could make it automatically switch between the provided backgrounds, which can't be done as of now.

Same issue on my end, have the same watchface, but without the mini items on the lower half.
anyone see much of the "Moto Body" elements. I expected some more access to the fitness data coming off the watch on my phone, but other than changing the heading where my heigh/weight is stored in the app I don't see anything different.

Gap in battery stats

Anyone know why I'd have a gap like this in the battery? Normally I would assume a gap like that would be from the phone being turned off but my phone was never off as far as I can tell. The up time is at about 17 hours right now and the last time I unlocked the phone I used my fingerprint. When a reboot happens you have to enter a pin/pattern the first time to unlock. You can also see that wifi was active that whole time. Looks like the cellular signal was off but I have wifi calling turned on so I never pay attention to cell signal in my house. I think I've seen this one other time before and had no explanation. It's almost like the service that monitors the battery wasn't working. I'm running stock, decrypted 6.0.1.

This is the 5X. I charged it up right at the beginning of the weekend and then used very rarely which is why it looks like it would last 4 days
You rebooted, that's completely normal. Happens all the time.

I've seen a similar thing on the battery screen on my N6 a couple weeks ago on 6.0, never really got a decent explanation, but didn't actually cause any real problem and hadn't occured repeatedly since.

I am seeing similar numbers on my new Note 7 on AT&T. So far the battery life blows for me, the set up is identical to my Nexus 6P except I have Google Now always on (launch from your voice regardless of whether the screen is on or off) turned off. All other apps are the same, sync is the same, etc. I'm hoping it's something simple or the phone just needs to settle in otherwise I'll go back to my 6P.

Good..so it's not just me. Android System is usually around 20% and now Android OS is around 20%. I am also on AT&T. Battery life has been pretty subpar in my opinion, so I'm hoping it settles in after awhile.
