Hi everyone, is there any way to activate the google now "ok google" detection with screen locked (like nexus devices)? It would be really useful to use phone "hands free" in car!
Thanks in advance
Go to google now settings, enable "ok google" detection from any screen and trusted voice. Go to settings/display/lock screen/smart lock and make sure trusted voice is enabled there.
Now plug your phone into car charger or power bank and you're good to go. "OK Google" on lock screen works only when the device is charging.

Hey everyone, I am wondering if anybody has tried out the trusted voice feature of google now? I'm trying to get this working. I have an LG G4, running the latest OS and patches as of 6/19. The end goal is that I want to say "Ok Google" from a completely locked and shut off screen, and have it wake up the phone and accept a command. Ideally, I would like to be able to wake the phone up and have it accept commands from a dark screen, even without a lock screen in place, but I'm not sure that's even possible. I want to do this so I can do some voice controls while i'm in the car, without having to interact with the phone and unlock it every 30 seconds.
Here is what I have setup:
1 - Settings - Lock Screen - Select a screen lock - Created a PIN
2 - Settings - Lock Screen - Smart Lock - Trusted Voice change to On
3 - Google Settings - "Ok Google" detection - From the google app/From any screen/Trusted voice all turned On
The end result is that if the screen is locked but lit up, I can say Ok Google and it will accept a command. However, if the screen is dark, it does not respond at all. Has anyone else tested the trusted voice feature, and is this expected behavior? I did a search but haven't come up with anything. Thanks in advance for any help.
I use that but it will only unlock from off if charging.

It doesn't seem HTC enabled the "OK Google" listening when the phone is off nor when the screen is on. I use that funcationality a lot and was wondering if anyone knew a way to turn it on manually? It seems it's disabled in the Google App.
I'm able to use "ok google" when the screen is on, but not when screen is off. I think that is kept for Nexus devices? Make sure you check "From any screen" in google voice setting.
Yep, this is not a function that the non-nexus phones do, with very few exceptions.
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue that I did not have previously on my Nexus 6.
When I say "Okay Google" to my watch, the Google Assistant on the phone pops up and both listen, or my watch cancels.
I've remedied the issue on the Nexus 6 by disabling the always listening feature.
On the Pixel/XL, if I disable the feature in Google Now > Settings > Voice > "Ok Google" detection > Say "Ok Google" anytime, then when I say "Okay Google" from the home screen, I am prompted to set up voice recognition to learn my voice, and the endless cycle continues. So this does not work.
I have hit the "later" button, press home, and try again. The prompt appears.
Is there no way to disable the always listening "Ok Google" detection feature when the screen is off anymore?
Thanks in advance!

bump. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone find a fix?
Depending on watch you can disable touch wake and motion gestures to prevent the watch from being on and listening I have both disabled on my lg urbane I don't have this issue

I manually wake the watch and say "ok google". The problem is not with the watch, but with the phone.
(I have an LG Urbane as well)

Does "OK Google" wake-up a hardware feature? If not what about a custom command?
If I flash GApps with Google Search, I can use "OK, Google" even when the screen is off. That is, the screen turns on by itself when I say that. But is that a fixed hardware feature? If not, could a user make Nexus 7 to turn on and unlock with a custom phrase like "Presto" by creating a flashable ZIP that uses the same API?
I wondered about this because Nexus 7's power button is difficult to press, Nexus 7 does not support double-tap-to-wake, I don't want to use a magnetic cover, and I can't use "OK, Google" as it would wake up all other devices in the vicinity. It would be helpful if I could just turn on the screen and unlock the device with a personal secrete word.
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 ?
