After updating to b180 i have noticed that my phone doesn't respond to the wake up command - which makes the "find my phone" function useless.
Has anyone else come across this?
I'm just wondering if it's something to do with Google assistant..
It's working on my phone....B180
It is still working fine on mine. It is funny to use the Where are You command, but it seems to work only in a limited range, about 4 meters or so. So I find it not very useful.

After my nexus 7 2013 got the OK google everywhere feature i have to say OK Google like 10 times in order to activate it from the home screen or anywhere else while in the past it was working good from the home screen .. the mic seems to work well even when i press the mic button on the search bar and start to talk it recognizes my words well . the problem seems to be not being able to recognize the ok google that fires up the voice commands. any one have this problem?
On my N5 I noticed today the same thing, "Ok google" is working 1 on 5. Although I'm on the French language. In the past it was working 90% of the time

Thank you for validating my sanity! I thought my tablet mic was on the fritz or something. To say nothing about what my roommates must have thought hearing me scream Ok Google in my room like 35 times for the "training" portion of Ok google everywhere.
Any ideas what is going on here? Because once Google Search is listening, it usually doesn't have an issue hearing whatever command I am trying to issue.
So, Ive done the training and ticked off, the right boxes for ok google to kick in, when I say the phrase, and after the first training it worked the first time or two I tried it. Then after waiting ten minutes from the screen being turned off, nothing. The funny thing is I did exactly the same thing on a nvicia shield tablet and that works every time. Now, I dont know as ive read that " hi galaxy" if that is set on can interfere, but since ok google doesnt work from my off screen. I've found that " Hi galaxy seems to work each and every time. The interesting note here is that if im on a screen that shows the google mic icon, if i say ok google it responds normally. Im just trying to figure out why its working for some and not others loke myself. Anyone else having issues with this command or know how to fix it???
I'm having the same issue. I've retrained the voice model a few times. I installed GNL and had absolutely no issues with it working then which leads me to believe it's something to do with the Touchwiz interface and not Google Now settings.
--UPDATE--
I went in to S Voice and disabled the Voice Wake Up command and this has helped. Now Google Now responds even with the screen off.
I'll try that...thx...but i'd like to have both working....if anyone figures it out.

If your screen is turn off, and you say Ok Google, and hear the noise but the screen stays off and you can't really do anything, ENABLE the lockscreen, then it will work from screen off, apparently currently you have to have the lockscreen enabled for it to wake up to a normal Google Now screen like the Moto X does

Are you sure it's your devices and not you? I find "Okay Google" to be awkward to pronounce, especially several times in a row, due to the "k" and double "g" combo. Wish we could change the hotword. I just touch the watch...find this to be easier and more reliable. Once I do that, I find the boice recognition to be surprisingly accurate, even with names, foreign-sounding places, etc. Does your watch recognize voice if you activate it by touch? If not, you may have a microphone problem. Also, if you have an accent or something, or a stutter, I'd try having someone else say it to see if it's the device or it's you. And also, make sure the watch is lit up first and out of ambient mode. I don't think it works when the watch is in low power mode. As for not working on the phone, I had that issue on the Note3 as well when using Nova Launcher, worked fine in TouchWiz. But I'm pretty sure the watch keyword detection is not dependant on the phone, since I can activate mine even when it's disconnected from my phone.
I'm having issues with my OK Google too. It's like my watch microphone isn't working. I can't do any voice dictation into the watch. It just says "Sorry didn't catch that" when I talk to it. It worked at one point and seems to work sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all.
Not sure for how long but I think it's something like 1 week that voice commands don't work any more for me.
They are opened as web searches instead.
eg. I used to say "OK Google, set a timer for 5 minutes" and the timer would start. Now it opens web link suggestion...
Same with most other voice commands that used to be really useful.
Anyone having same problem?
Hi!
I bought one sony sw3 3 days ago, and have the same problem...I say the voice comands and it always do the search... anyone solved this? In my note 2 the comands are working fine, like call someone, send a text...
In the watch it always makes the search sugestions.
Thanks
I have been using the Moto Z2 Play for almost a year now, and the feature i used every day is waking the phone when the screen is off by using the OK/Hey Google command.
The tooltip in the Google voice match settings used to read: Access your assistant any time you say "OK Google", even if your screen is off or you're using your favorite apps.
However after updating the Google app to version 8.28 the tooltip changed to "whenever your screen is ON" instead of "even if your screen is off".
And sure enough, the phone will no longer respond to commands until i pick up the phone and manually turn on the screen, which defeats the purpose.
Why was this feature removed? I have tried everything and finally had to uninstall Google updates and install an older version(8.24) from apk mirror to get Assistant to work properly again.
What is even more puzzling to me is that this problem seems specific to my Z2 Play, i have the latest Google app version(8.28) on my Xiaomi phone, and the tooltip still says "even if your screen is off" and it works as it should.
I tried Googling this issue, i checked the Motorolla support forums, the Google assistant support forums etc. and couldn't find any mention of this issue.
This has also happened to me! I thought I just needed to reboot the phone to maybe fix a background service that had stopped, but I also see that "...even when your screen is off" has been removed from the Voice settings. This is one of the features that made the Moto Z line attractive to me, and I literally use (well, used) the feature several times a day, especially while driving. I also use Android Auto and now I have to either touch the microphone on my truck's head unit screen, press and hold the voice button on the steering wheel for 3 seconds, or unlock my phone so I can talk to it. I have a self-built Android Auto in my other car and it also has this issue, which I now know is not related to either car's system. Thank you for posting and bringing this to our attention.
I think this must be a bug in the latest Google app. Does anyone know where we can submit bug reports for the app, or voice control/Google Assistant in general?
Has any else experienced this problem, or does anyone have ideas about what to do to potentially resolve it? Surely OP and I can't be the only two people who have witnessed this issue.

It is likely that there just aren't many Z2 play users who frequent xda, and the ones that do never noticed the issue because they don't use the feature.
... and has a way to fix them?
1. the phone will decrease its refresh rate from time to time and stays there, and the "stuttering" is only fixed by rebooting. Yes, I am aware, that Whatsapp and Telegram voice messaging is occasionally linked to it, and can be handled by removing the apps from memory. But not in the mentioned cases.
2. "Ok, Google" accessing the assistant doesnt work from now and then. And is back to normal a few tries later.
3. When talking over the phone with speaker mode and browsing on the phone, the notification bar cannot be pulled down any more, which is annoying cause I cant easily open the phone tab to end the call.
Anyone, guys?
2. I have a similar bug with quick tap, it seems that a system app freezes/crashes, and without knowing the exact culprit the entire system needs to be rebooted to enable the function again.
Plus my "Ok, Google" also stopped working in the past, found no way to fix it yet. It's probably an Android 12 bug.
Since yesterday I noticed my AOD does not work when on a call, screen goes dark. I go into AODsettings and it still turned ON.
There's only been one update since the phones been released, besides the FPS update, after a few updates it'll be fine
I have noticed "OK Google" not responding at times as well.. not as bad as my 2XL was at times, only a reboot would fix that...but is annoying to say the least especially when driving. And I don't think it works while using Waze or Maps for navigation either which stinks, maybe I need to use Android Auto for that integration to work right.
