OK Google hotword working while phone is sleeping? - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

Does anyone have OK Google hotword working on their device to unlock device?
On my oneplus6t if the phone screen is off, and has been sitting untouched for awhile I can say "OK Google" and it automatically unlocks the phone, turns on screen, and auto launches Google listening.
Can anyone confirm if it works for their mate 20 x?
If yes, what model number do you have?
And does it work if you set up finger print to unlock the phone? (Will it bypass finger print and unlock)

It doesn't work for the Mate 20 X !
I believe that it does work for the Pro though.

Google actually removed this from Android 9. Some OEMs keep it. However is it's a security flaw and Google has removed it.

O gosh this is horrible.
After you said this I googled more info and you're right.
Surely this can be made whole again.
Couldn't we copy the APK from a Android 9 pie device that has a good working ok Google hotword and paste it into the mate20x as a system app via root?

There is this tasker profile that uses "Emy" to trigger/replace "Ok google"

Does it work when the phone is awake and in the homescreen without hitting any button?
Does this work on the China version?

Note 4 with "Ok Google" While Screen is off - Moto X Feature

No root, no need to download or install anything.
This work for other devices as well as the Note 4. This enables the Google now "Ok Google" Feature where you can active Google now while the screen is off. This is something like the Moto X feature.
How To:
1) Open Google Now
2) Go to Google Now Settings
3) Click on "Voice"
4) Enable "Audio History"
5) Click "Ok Google Detection"
6)Click "Always on" and follow the remaining directions.
You Can also watch this How To Video if you want:
If you device is unsupported or it just wont work, then there is an app called "Open Mic+ for Google Now" which does this for you.
This also works on the Lg G3, Nexus 5, and Galaxy S5, from what I know. Please feel free to try other devices and let me know if they work as well.
For anyone who wanted to know, this dose not kill the better. It doesn't even show and you wouldn't notice it was on until you said "Ok Google"

Only had the phone for 8 hours too soon to tell if it's a major battery drain. However my understanding of the snapdragon 805 is it has some type of architecture built which always apps to run in a low power mode without draining much battery and Google now uses this feauture.

The first day I had the phone I used it all day and had 2% battery life when I went to bed. Woke up about 6 hours later and though it has died. Nope still on 1%, so what you say could be true.
I have this enabled and can say that my battery life is great with it turned on.....of course this a completely subjective post. But I see nothing that indicates any type of additional strain on the battery. Playing a couple of hours of XCOM however...
Only works when SVoice is on
Something to note (no pun intended), when I have SVoice disabled, I don't have any setting "Always on", however when I reenable it("Turn it On") in the app manager I get the option.

i didn't have S voice enabled when i got this working.
Here is my power usage over night not plugged in with nothing else to compete with the voice activation. Although my battery life is still pretty good, considering the circumstance, this is definitely eating away at it.
Found that when you don't use the feature for a period of time it turns off. Not completely off but, i found that I would have to go into the google now then exit for it to work again. Anyone else find to have this problem as well?
Thread title is wrong, no? Doesn't work with screen off while not charging like the Moto X does. Only works with screen on (on lock screen or unlocked), or when plugged in.

I have noticed the same exact thing. The phone 'OK Google' doesn't work with the screen off, only when I turn the screen on or plug it in for a charge. Not a big deal, but I was hoping it would work without a screen being on. Still fun to use that function, it makes me feel like I'm in the 'OK Google' commercial

Not true. It works for me when not charging, with the screen off, and with the device locked (fingerprint).

Same here, Screen off unplug or plug in.
Just got my lovely Note 4 today. I can confirm that "Ok Google" works for me with the phone unplugged, screen off, and lockscreen enabled.
I didn't follow the instructions in this thread. I was aware of how to activate the feature from prior experience. I'm not sure what step some of you all missed along the way to make this feature work.

"Okay Google" only works after I tap the screen

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.

Do you mean for "OK Google" detection?
If "OK Google" is what you mean, like the other poster was asking, I think it's a feature of the Google Now launcher.

OK Google should work with any launcher. Make sure you have it turned on in Google, it's off by default and that you have it set from any screen. I just configured it on my Developer Edition model.

There is an always listening feature.

None of these features are the "always listening" feature.
QCOM chips since the 801 I think have a built in low power core for hotword detection. Most moto phones have it, some samsung phones have it, NO htc phone has ever had it even though the chips DO HAVE that feature! Why the hell not ... is my question.
How do you know they don't have it?
Is there software available to take advantage of it?

There is the physical core that is always on which uses almost 0% power to listen for a phrase. This has been present since snapdragon 800. The 810 certainly has it, but qualcomm has never released a public api for it. I believe the company would be required to license it privately. My question is, why has no HTC phone ever had this feature? Surely they need it considering their marketing department is comprised of untrained monkeys and almost every recent phone they put out has been overshadowed...
i noticed that under the settings for the google app and the voice option .... it says that it isnt available for my current language (Uk english). So perhaps that is the reason you cannot have it "always on". No idea why it isnt supported but perhaps it is something to be developed and supported in the near future. Search still works in the app via voice command ... only a click away.
my question is why is it so urgent and needed when screen is off etc? the app lets you use the voice command ... with the widget on screen it's only a click away.
Perhaps make some enquiries with HTC or Google themselves and see if you can get some answers there?

The ok google hotword detection is separate from the low power core. The ok google detection is only while the screen is on.

Sounds like you are describing s-voice that my s3 had. You could program the phone to do various things with trained phrases. For example "wake up Galaxy" would wake the phone up and then ask for a command. I haven't seen this feature at all on the m9.
Hot word detection does work.. What exactly are you trying to do?

"OK Google" - Screen Off NOT Working EVR-L29

I couldn't get it working either so I just enabled Huawei's voice wakeup and that works with the screen off.

"ok Google" not working on 7T

Is it only me, or someone else is having issue with running Google assistant?
Tried reset voice commands, clear data for Google app, reinstal Google assistant, I followed help on Google site, nothing is working.
When I run assistant from app it is working, but no reaction on command "ok Google"

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.

Do you have an app installed which simulates a led notification? Like NotifyBuddy, LEDBlinker etc Uninstall that one and try again.

I literally don't have any apps installed other than google apps and XDA.
Still get the "google assistant unavailable" every so often when I try engage. So very frustrating. Anyone else have any advice on how to get it working reliably?

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?
