Did you try this? Settings --> Language and input --> Android Keyboard Settings --> Voice input key --> Off

Not trying to hijack the thread but do you also know of a way to disable the smiley face button on the stock jellybean keyboard? I always hit it by accident.

The only way I know of would be to use a custom messaging app. For instance, I'm currently using an inverted Mms.apk that lets me choose between the smiley key, send, or enter for new line for that button. However, I don't know if that's what you want since it still doesn't let me disable that button.

[Q] How can I turn off caller announce

Somehow I or an app or a setting has changed and all of a sudden every incoming call is being announced with an annoying (and loud) "Call from" in addition to the ringtone.
I have searched all over XDA and Google and found lot of people saying it is driving mode (turned off), but I have checked that and it is not set to do this, but it still it does the announcement.
I'd like to figure out what is causing this and turn it off -- any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hmmm...do you have any apps related to the dialer, phone, contacts, or anything?
I assume you've tried restarting?
And, this is where you checked for driving mode, right? In Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output -> Driving Mode is set to off?

I'll look back over my apps I've either tinkered with recently or installed.
I did confirm driving mode is off, but I decided to turn it on to see what would happen and I get two voice announcements. One says "incoming call from" answer the one I can't get rid of says "call from" in a slightly different voice. The one that says incoming is the one that is controlled by driving mode.
Thanks

This has been driving me crazy for days!
If you have Robin installed - this is the culprit. Go into the apps setting and turn off caller I'd!
Hope this helps...

That was it. I don't recall setting that but it recently updated so...
Thank you very much!

Yeah, I guess it set it automatically on the latest update... Very annoying!

"Ok Google" vs camera voice control since Lollipop

Ever since the Lollipop upgrade, the only way I can get "Ok Google" recognition to work from all screens is to disable S Voice. But when I do that, I can no longer voice-control the built-in camera app (it tells me I have to enable S Voice).
Is there a way to fix this, or are we now forced to abandon one of these two useful features?

Are you sure you have that option activated in the camera under settings?
Also, I'm not a s/voice user myself, but I don't have it disabled. I just removed it from being activated from the home button.

It turns off when I disable S Voice. If I try to turn it back on, it tells me I need to enable S Voice first.

And does that let you use "Ok Google" recognition from all screens (including the lockscreen)? For me, that option in the Google Now settings is greyed out unless I disable S Voice.

No. Disable Svoice, activate ok google detection. Open your camera app and turn on voice. It will ask to enable Svoice. Enable it. Ok google voice still works on all screens and voice recognition works in the camera app as well.

Exactly correct.

Ok Google Fix
This may help those who updated to 5.0.1 on the At&t Note 4. It may work for other note 4's. This applies if you already had Google Now set to work on all screens along with various other settings and now they are greyed out. If you never could get Google Now to work on all screens in 4.4.4 that is a different problem.
1. Disable S Voice, the Samsung voice control. Simply go to apps and disable it.
2. Either Restart your Phone, or Power it Off then turn it back on.
3. Try the settings in Google Now Voice again. The first setting which probably worked before - "From The Google App" should still be able to be toggled on and off.
The Second setting, "From Any Screen" May now work and let you train your voice. A clue is the very bottom of the screen "Train Voice Model" and "Delete Voice Model" should no longer be greyed out.
If the second setting gets you to the next screen now where you say Google Now three times but nothing happens, go to the next the step.
4. Put your Note 4 into safe mode. You will not be looking for any programs that might be blocking Google Now as you might expect. I know what is blocking it, it's S Voice that even though is turned off is still blocking it.
If you do not understand safe mode, or have any reservations doing it, don't. Though I feel it is a safe thing to do, I am not going to give instructions how to do it, you can find it online easily. I take no responsibility if you find how to do it then make a mistake somehow and screw up your phone.
5. Once in safe mode, and staying in safe mode and when the phone has loaded everything it is going to load, go to the Google Now settings again and you should see all settings available now. In the second setting "From Any Screen" toggle it on and when it takes you to the voice training do the three steps of Google Now voice training.
At that point you are done. Remember, there are other settings that may affect the use of Google Now but if you had it working before the Lollipop upgrade those settings should not have changed.
6. Simply restart the Note 4 and Google Now should work from any screen again.
7. You should be able to restart S Voice at this point if you need it, primarily for the camera voice commands. I decided to leave mine disabled since I rarely to never use the camera voice commands. You do not need S Voice to be active to use Google Now.

Used to
Worked at stage 3. Reenabling S Voice rebroke OkGoogle. RE Disabled S Voice. All that's changed is either the screen must be on or it must be plugged in. Like my Note Pro. Used to just need to be on..screen off and all.

That's a change with Lollipop and not a "problem." (now it is screen on or charging) It appears Ok Google no longer works with the screen off by design, at least on the Note 4.
I can keep S Voice on after doing the steps. (Though I have since turned it off) Try doing all the steps and while in safe mode turn off then on the settings. It's possible this makes Ok Google the "default" over S Voice.

"OK GOOGLE" refuses to work until I launch the app

Hello everyone
I have Huawei Nova 3 "PAR-AL00" (Chinese version) and I seem to have a problem with Google assistant.
Phone doesn't respond to "OK GOOGLE" and that seems to have relation with app background activity because after I launch the assistant app manually and press the home button the phone starts to respond to "OK GOOGLE". But also every time I open the assistant it says "Google isn't your default assistant app" even though when I press setting I find it is the default one not the stock app "HiVoice".
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this?
Thanks

Try to remove it from the list of hibernating apps, that did it for me on my PAR-LX1

Go to apps> Google >clear data>retrain your voice

How to deactivate OK Google

Hi,
Is there a way to deactivate OK Google when pressing the crown?
I keep pressing it by accident all the time.
Thanks

you can use an app like "Wear Button Remapper" and change the long press to set other app or nothing.
Note if you deactivate long press for Google assistant, it deactivate also Google assistant for other way like press the "Mic" icon.

Go to google assistant > setting > disable

There are no "Google Assistant" app on a Wear Watch, so no "Settings" for an app wich is not on the watch. It is a system inside app like the one on Google Home pod. There are just a setting to disable voice command "OK Google" on a Wear Watch. Even if you disable Google Assistant in one of your phone all the Google Home in the House are not disabled and also not disabled on your others phones.

one of the ways to disable it:
Settings - Tap the General tab - Under "Personal“ find "Language and Input“ - Find "Google voice typing“ and tap the Settings button (cog icon)
Tap "Ok Google“ Detection
Under the "From the Google app“ option, move the slider to the left.
That's it, you have successfully turned OK Google off.

Setting=> google assistant=>disable this.
