Has anyone obtained success using "Ok Google" with screen off to activate Google Assistant?
I wonder if that even works. I've tried myself on Lineage OS and stock... no positive result so far.
I checked trusted voice, and a bunch of tricks to get it to work... still no good.
If that worked for me, the assistant would be WAY more useful.
Any thoughts?

It is possible. This funcion is on MOTO app but You must setup your word e.g. OK Google or OK MOTO Z

It doesn't launch the Google Assistant though, it only brings Google Search.
It's a bug on Google's part. It used to work good but Google messed up.
Yup, that's what I thought. Google app may be to blame, since the feature is supported by the device itself. Perhaps trying the most recent beta would bring some light to this...
Thanks for both answers!
i would think it's the Moto app's fault. i've never had any issues with other devices. Try disabling the Moto app?

It can be done and isn't the problem of google.
First open google assistant by long pressing home button then click on 3 dots and scroll down and click "Ok Google detection" option then click or enable "Say ok google at any time".
The problem is that the "Say OK Google any time" setting doesn't stay on. Once i exit the Assistant settings it gets disabled.
And yes, all settings are correct, the only language is US English and so on. Tried freezing the Moto Voice app in TB, no luck.
The problem is within the Assistant app, saw a lot of threads for a lot of devices with this issue.
I am running the beta version for Play Services and Google apps.

I have no problems with assistant whenever i say "ok Google"
Assistant get to work even when phone is locked.
You're lucky, then
Stock apps, or beta?

You can try wipe cache partition to solve this
Ok, i left the beta programs, i'm back on the stock apps.
The setting now stays on, but "OK Google" doesn't work when screen is off.
If i press the power button then say "OK Google" it works, it unlock the phone and everything.
Wiping cache / clearing all data for the Google app didn't help.

First you said that it doesn't work then you said it works? can you explain what's the problem now?
And
I was not talking about clearing cache of google app. Wipe cache partition is different that is done in recovery mode.
Steps for cache partition:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust.../113289/~/clear-cache-partition---moto-z-play
I wiped the cache partition, and in addition, i cleared the cache of the google app.
It's still not working when the phone is locked / screen off, but, If i press the power button (without unlocking the phone) just to turn the screen on, and then i say Ok Google, it works.
Is it clear now?
The only difference between the beta and the stock app, is that in the stock app the "Say OK Google at any time" setting stays on.

Do you have trusted voice enabled?
Obviously, i can unlock the phone using the OK Google command, but not when the screen is off.
If i press the power button, then say OK Google it unlocks the phone and open the Assistant.

Or try disabling trusted voice and tell if it works
Okay so same here. I can use google assistant normally eg "ok google" and it'll work if its charging or if the screens on. Standard google stuff. Except the moto keyword still triggers google voice search. Best I can come up with is the two haven't updated to work with each other yet.

Pretty much it, I believe. Motorola and Google need to have a beer at some point to settle this issue. It really makes no sense at all to ignore this, considering that Moto Voice works under screen off. Perhaps some minor tweak on Moto Voice itself to launch Google Assistant instead of Google Now will suffice...
Has anyone had a solve for this issue? I have tried all combination of settings from using Moto Assist detect, to trying to only use Google App's and nothing works to launch Assistant.

For about a week after I got the watch, there were no issues with the voice commands but now whenever I try to use the "Okay Google" command when the screen is off it won't recognize it. I have to tap the screen to turn it on, then try the command once or twice before it picks it up. I have tried a factory reset on the watch and rebooting it but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Same for me
Try this ,go to your phone,disconnect Google now and then reconnect it again an program the voice command

How exactly do I disconnect Google Now? I've looked through all the settings in both the Google Search app and the Android Wear app but I couldn't find anything
Open Google now ,the part where you see the cards,go to settings, and you will see at the top how to disable Google now,in lollipop is that way

I don't think it has. Honestly think its working as intended. Screen must be active before command.

agreed.
OP to answer your question for using the watch one-handed, the idea of being able to twist your wrist to activate the watch is helping your situation. for me, i know that this is not reliable, but this is how the watch/software was designed.
i'm hoping the moto 360.2 is more moto X like. always on mics and ambient display.

Having lots of difficulties with "OK Google" on this watch. Bluetooth stays connected fine and so does wifi because i'm getting all my notifications instantly and it doesnt say that im disconnected. When I say OK Google the prompt comes up to speak...but only like 4 of the 30 times I tried did it actually work and not show the cloud symbol. I restarted the watch a couple times and the same thing happens, i've also done a factory reset since purchasing the watch 4 days ago. Thoughts? Thanks.

I found it to be very hit or miss as well.

I've not had it work once yet. The mic works as if I manually launch it everything seems fine.
I've tried restarts, factory resets & all the above. I'm pretty close to returning in all honesty as the voice launch is a huge deal for me!
I use my Huawei Watch with a OnePlus One on stock COS12.1 and have the same problem.
A lot of times when I use the watch to say "Okay Google" it will tell me it's disconnected. The only work-around I found was to quickly wake up the phone and it would start working right away. It seems like the internet pauses if my phone has been idle too long. I receive notifications in real time so I don't know what's really causing it.
I had the same problem with the huawei and a dutch HTC one M8.
The problem was gone after changing "Google voice typing primary language" from dutch in english.
And teach Google the sound of my voice in "OK Google" detection =>> From any screen.
Try turning off the restricted data for google app and google play services under Data Usage in settings.

I find it very hard for it to recognise my Australian accent. However, when I put on an American accent it works 100% of the time!
Any way of fixing that?

Did you try going into Google Settings on your phone? There's an option to retrain the voice model in there.

HI mate, yes I've done that countless times to no avail unfortunately. It works fine on my phone, but it's like retraining the voice model has no effect on the Huwaei Watch.

Dang, I was wondering about that. Sorry!
Hi,
My home button long press stopped working, I don't know why. Google Now doesn't show up when I long press, it used to...
I went to Settings » Apps » Configure Apps » Default Apps » Assist & voice input > Assist app and it's set to "Google app", so everything is configured properly.
The home button itself is working. When I press it, it goes to the home screen. And it«s also working for fingerprint unlocking. The only thing not working is long press to open Google Now.
I'm on a completely stock ROM, I only have Root + Xposed. I've already tried to disable Xposed and reboot to see if any modules were preventing the long press, but nope. The problem persists without Xposed.
What could it possibly be? Any thoughts?

Does the Google app work on its own? Did you install something like Greenify or Titanium Backup and freeze the Google app?
Yes, it works on its own. I have greenify, but I haven't freezed anything related to the Google app (just Google+). Everything else hibernated are non-Google apps.
I just disabled Greenify app, rebooted and the long press still does nothing. I guess the problem is not Greenify...

could you try reinstalling google now to see if this persists?
I doubt the problem is Google Now. In the option I mentioned in the first post, you can pick the assist app and I switched to something else, it didn't work either...
But I'll try that anyway and report back...

This sucks man. Now I don't have that thing working and I have no reason why...
Did you find out the source of the problem? I've just finished setting up my new BlackBerry KEYone and noticed the same problem. Others report the feature works for them. I've installed the same apps I had on my previous phone.
Seems like I have to factory reset and set up everything again…
bump!
I have the same problem on huawei p8. It was working well then abruptly stopped.. i've followed all advice but nothing has resolved it.. If i turn off the reading text on screen and screenshot toggles in the assist options, google on tap loads but it's just the google now screen.. nothing about what is on screen. the reading text on screen was awesome especially for translations.. i hope someone can help us resolve this.

You have to enable that in GA settings. It is off by default. Search settings for "unlock with voice match". There is a toggle for it.
Yes that toggle is on already, I've retrained the voice module a few times also. Still no luck

Is it only me, or someone else is having issue with running Google assistant?

Working just fine here on 10.04
Try to go in assistants app battery optimization settings and change it to don't optimize. I'm thinking it's the one plus software trying to optimize battery, so assistant is not running in the background and picking up the ok Google
Done this also and it didn't help
Same issue here. 10.0.4. "Tried Everything" No solution. Works once after reboot. Then nothing. Works with the app. The rest of the time, not responding with voice command ok google.
Have given up on it since 2-3 Android generations, I hardly even use the google assistant

I couldn't even configure Android Assistant. I had to go to the Google app in the PlayStore, uninstall updates and only then was I able to enable the assistant. After the Google app auto-updated, the assistant settings remained enabled. You may have to uninstall the updates as well.

Matter of point being, the google assistant integration iteself has issues , if you could make it work thats great but it would most likely be temporary
Happened to me also. Installing beta app helped me. Make sure battery saver is turned off.
You need to configure google assistant for that. Long press the home button and once the assistant pops up, swipe up to configure the settings and let the assistant recognize your voice. Worked for me.
I've tried a lot of recommendations in here and still can't get "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" to work. It works only when I manually open the assistant from de bottom corner up but it doesn't work with screen off or outside the assistant activated bar.

I noticed the same OK Google issue with Notify Buddy installed, I just uninstalled it and OK Google now works again. Maybe there's a setting in Notify Buddy that can help use it without interfering with the Assistant function?
