Hello there guys,
i've recently been looking for a way to use something else rather than "Ok" to summon the assistant, and i found out that Google actually released the "Hey Google" hotword for it.
Before it, i've been able to use the assistant using my voice just fine, but when i've been prompted to retrain the assistant, it asked me to record 4 things (Ok, Hey, Ok, Hey, as far as i know, cause i've never gotten to the "hey" part) instead of 3 (Ok 3 times).
Problem is, when i say "Ok Google", nothing happens. It just stays there, waiting for me to say it, even though i did. And the only solution is to revert the Google app to the factory version, retrain the assistant with the 3 "Ok Google", and then re-update the Google app. Point is, if i even try to retrain the assistant while the Google app latest version is installed, i get stuck, and have to re-do all the process.
Is there any way i can solve this?
I have a OnePlus 5T running Android 8.0.0.
Thank you so much.
I've also been prompted by Google via notification to train the assistant using "Hey Google" as well... but the same bug occurs.

For some reason "ok Google" has disappeared from my search bar. I feel like it might've come with the 4.4 kit Kat update because I only recently realized it was gone, and I downloaded KitKat less than a week ago. I'm not 100% sure though. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all Google search updates to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to get it back? I can't voice activate Google now anymore, and I really liked that feature. I'm currently running the latest android kit Kat version. Thanks!
I'm getting the same problem here. It's weird because the checkbox under settings in voice for me shows that hotword detection is on...
Same here. Glad to know I'm not alone.
The "OK google" text goes away after a few uses but the OK Google hot word should keep right on working
Nope doesn't work

I'm on latest firmware. But I have problem with "ok google". The google always recognize different word from what I speak. Moreover, I need to say "ok google " for few times in order for the microphone to appear. What has gone wrong?
Hi everyone,
I'm using OnePlus 3 for 4 months and through every update (3.2.1 --> 3.2.2 --> 3.2.4 --> 3.2.6 --> 3.2.7) I've experienced this strange issue.
Sometimes (like once in 2 days) the voice search, the one that normally activates with "Ok Google", self-activates and waits for a command, eventually saying "I didn't understand".
It happens when the screen is on or when the phone is charging, usually when there are other noises (people talking at work, television, etc).
Did it happen to anyone, too? I never experienced this behaviour in none of my previous phones, I even tried restoring voice recognition but the problem is still there.
Thanks in advice!

I never had the issue on my LG G2 but it happens now. Also happens often on my Galaxy Tab S2 really often. I think its a Google thing and they have made things too sensitive.
Go into Google Now, Settings, Voice, "Ok Google" detection. Turn off From Any Screen.

Well, actually that's not a solution, more like a "workaround"... I like the "Ok Google" From Any Screen feature, I use it once in a while.
It's like asking "I have bad call quality, what can I do?" and receive "stop doing voice calls" as an answer...
Update: I flashed 3.5.4 yesterday, same issue experienced today.
I tried to install google assistant, but it showing "This account is not eligible for the feed"
Hi All,
When I use "ok google" to do a command for example say text. It would text once and then another time when I unlock my phone. Similar issue with everything else be it calling, setting a timer (once on the watch and once on the phone when i unlock) etc. Not exactly sure what the issue is - be it android wear update or the phone itself or a setting I don't know about. So what happens is I've been having this issue ever since I got a new phone.
Any advice or answers would be helpful.
Thanks
I posted this question in the A13 Beta 4 thread but didn't got any feedback, so post it as a separate question to see if someone can help.
I switch to A13 since beta 2 and just updated to beta 4, everything seems run smoothly. However, I just found out that my "Google Assistant" lost the "beep" sound! What it means is that if I say "OK, Google" or "Hey, Google", I can carry out to give the command or instruction as I want but I am losing the "Ting" sound of the reaction once I say "OK Goolge" or "Hey Google". It's not really a big deal but just gave me a funny feeling as I would have to look at the phone screen to see if Google Assistant really working. All I can say is that I don't know when this is started as I didn't use Google Assistant for quite a long time, but it is definitely working when my P6P was on A12.
Can't someone confirm if this is just me or if there is a setting I can get this "beep" sound to come back. I play around with the phone for a couple hours and couldn't figure out any setting in "Google" app, "Assistant" app and system sound to have this be related.

You have to turn on an accessibility option. Once I remember where it's at I will post again

And then you turn on switch access but it doesn't make the system run as smoothly for some reason. I want the beep as well but I had to eventually turn the option off. Try it out. Don't see if you like it

Thanks for pointing me to this. Like you said, I don't like it at all! I even not giving enough time to see if it would affect how the system runs but getting an accessibility slider when volume button is pressed when "Switch Access" is turned on already make me hate it. I couldn't find a thing how this accessibility slider is doing but definitely don't want it to appear whenever I press the volume button.
I never turn on anything in Accessibility menu, always leave it as default. This seems to be a A13 thing as I remember that the Assistant has the beep when I was on A12. Anyway, I will try to make myself get used to this behavior.
