I put my phone in my dash mount this morning and say, "Hey google, play some music". Assistant pops up and tells me I have to set up voice actions. Which I've set up well in the past. Then when I got to work, I also find that the stock launcher is overriding Nova again and I can't get Nova to stick. I'm assuming some updates borked my settings. Just wondering if this happened to anyone else.
Edit - After multiple restarts I was finally able to turn on voice match and get Nova to stick. Don't know what it was, but it finally worked itself out.

As of last weekend I started getting some unknown launcher or widget that was taking over my home screen. I use Go Launcher EX and this is overriding it's setting as Default. I can't get to phone settings or installed apps and I can't figure out where this is coming from. I uninstalled Go Launcher and it didn't go away. I'm using JediMindtrick JB5 and I even wiped everything and installed JellyBeast and manually installed each and every app from the playstore and it reappeared. I can't use screen capture when it's active so I had to take a picture of my phone and I attached a copy of that hoping someone would recognize it.
I'm stumped and very frustrated. I want this thing gone so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I also just tried uninstalling Go Launcher and installing Nova Launcher and this thing is still the dominant home screen. After installing Nova I'd expect to get a prompt when I hit home asking which launcher to use, but not the case here.
Figured it out...Dock Mode
Thanks to WildfireDEV in the general Android Help forum I found out this is the dock mode. I searched around and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161875 and apparently the microUSB connection can cause it to go into dock mode, which would explain why it's doing it on every ROM I've tried. Glad to know it isn't malware, but I sure wish I had figured this out before I completely wiped every partition on the phone. At least I can go back to my nandroid backup now.
Thanks,
I recently used the cleaner to remove the bloat ware from my note 3. Like a nub I didn't think to check the file list and accidentally picked the one that removed all the cool features from the phone.. Most importantly the voice recognition was gone.
So I downloaded a complete app file and put it in the appropriate folder and did a factory reset. Almost everything went back to stock except one thing. My voice activation of the camera, music, and alarm clock no longer works. I am also not getting the notification at the top telling me that I can use said voice functions. Additionally the voice setting is missing in the settings screen. I can still get to it by searching for the settings and it says it's on.. and I can even change it ect.. but still nothing. The only thing I can do is say "hi Galaxy" to wake the phone. S voice still works And I Can Search And Text And All that.
So what am I missing? Is it just a simple ask that I may have overlooked? Any help would be awesome.. or directions to a download of a 100% complete stock app folder would be awesome
nevermind.. found the stock rom

I can't seem to get "OK google" from any screen settings to appear. I only get the standard option from the home screen. A week ago I installed the launcher and it worked. I did a system restore and updated now it doesn't. Anybody know what causes this. I know I have the latest app and GPS.
From what I've seen inside the app, you need English US activated.

It is....any other suggestions? It worked a week ago now not....very weird issue.
The clearing the app's data, force stop it, and restart.
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
1. I like to text myself when I need to take a note. For me it is very quick. But with the G4 when I text myself it keeps going on and on. Once I stopped it via force stopping Messages. Another time by restarting.
2. I am getting a pop up for a text when the screen is on lock screen, but can I get the full message to pop up or at least more of the message than the I get.
And shouldn't it. awaken the screen. When the screen is off I just hear the sound.
3. Is there a way to get "ok Google" to work when the screen is off. If I recall call correctly it used to on phones until Lollipop, correct
My friends S6 edge woke up when I sent him a message fwiw
Custom launchers can do the "ok Google" not sure when the screen was off. May need a custom kernel. I know if you go into Google and do a specific search, you can turn it on.
No problems texting either. Maybe factory reset
Player911 Thanks immensely for even getting back to me. I may have a lot of posts and be a senior, but I am quite a novice. I don't root or handle kernals. But really, your response means a lot
Let me explain what I THINK you said:
Custom Launchers can do "ok google" from a turned off screen. (I use Nova and Apex occasionally. Now using Nova. So I assume that it won't work on Nova?) (do you use a launcher where Ok Google works from a screen not on?)
as far as texting, you are able to text YOURSELF a message and it comes thru once and doesn't keep sending/running?
I had a G4 then switched to a M9 and now this G4. The M9 didn't cut it. But in each case, when I got the phone before doing anything, and this one, before doing anything I tried it and it did the same thing??
I can't wait to hear your answer about texting yourself because I just spoke to a guy at Tmo who did the same things I did, and a couple more and basically he said it's not the network (LG Said it was), it's not my specific phone, so he is sending a ticket up and will get back to me next Mon
Player911 fwiw, I did get find that Ok Google will work with the screen off, but only when plugged in??? Not sure what that means. Im sure you have a better idea than I. Thanks again
