"OK Google" detection form any screen suddenly not working

Google App v6.9.36.21.arm64, Viper ROM v4.4.0 and v4.5.0 (both clean installs), S-Off, Bootloader unlocked, TWRP v3.0.3.0_Unofficial.
Anyone else having issues with "Ok Google" detection not working when "From any screen" is selected? Even from within the Google app open with the search bar that states " "Say OK Google" ", I can't get the phone to respond to the "Ok Google" voice command. In other words, it never brings up a voice activated search.
If I deselect "From any screen", then it works from within the app with the search bar, as expected. But the moment I select "From any screen", and no matter how many times I've tried retraining the voice model, it never responds to "Ok Google".
Microphone is verified working.
The strange thing is that it was working a week ago, and nothing had changed since that time. I was running Viper 4.4.0 (Full ROM, not Magisk version) up until today (it was yesterday while on v4.4.0 that I noticed it wasn't working anymore), and today the v4.5.0 update came out, so I opted for a completely clean install to rule out any bad settings I may have mucked up at any point. Still, on v4.5.0 Full ROM (non-Magisc version), I can't get it working. I also tried installing Google Now Launcher to see if it would work with a different launcher, and still no luck.
Google App has permissions to Microphone (have also tried clearing data from app, and resetting it up, completely uninstalling Google App and reinstalling/setting up - still no joy). I've removed Google App from battery optimization, no change. I just can't make heads or tails of it. My wife's phone (Samsung GS7) has the same version of the Google App installed, and hers works fine, so it can't be the app.
Anyone out there care to verify on their phone if "Ok Google" detection from any screen works for them? And what is your ROM, Root, Bootloader, and S-on/S-off situation? I'm just a little curious with all the "Feature blocking for rooted devices" that's been going on lately, if Google blocked the use of "Ok Google" voice detection from any screen for rooted and/or bootloader unlocked devices for some strange reason.
Thanks! Any hits/tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone at least verify if "OK Google" detection from any screen is working on their HTC 10?

Just so I'm clear, are you suggesting to delete, then retrain the voice model from the Google App? Just want to be sure I understand, since I've performed the voice model training countless times since the issue popped up.
For the record, I don't have the Google Now Launcher installed. I only installed it once after noticing OK Google detection wasn't working, and when I noticed it didn't change anything, I removed it.
Thanks, and if you don't mind sharing your phone's setup?

You don't need to delete it, just retrain it. I've had to do this myself a few weeks ago.

OK, well, I've done it both ways (simply retraining, as well as deleting, then retraining). Nothing seems to restore functionality.
Thank you for the input.

Yes exactly ! Retrain ok google . But if that doesn't solve the problem . don't know what to do next .

Well, as an informational update to this issue, I flashed a stock RUU for my variant (US Unlocked, 2.38.617.6), and everything functions as intended. So, there's something funky going on with the custom ROM I was running. Attempting the Magisk version next to see if it all works there.

I believe I'm on the same ROM as you, and am using the classic SuperSU version, and it is working for me. I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't.
I'll try and see if I can find one for you though.

Further testing shows that it works on the Magisk version, but then immediately flashing back to the classic version with PHH Superuser, it ceases to function. I'll try testing with the classic version of the ROM using SuperSU, instead.

One last update for the day. Installing Viper v4.5.0 with SuperSU insteaed of PHH seems to have solved the issue, as well. Seems something about PHH is interfering with Google App voice detection from any screen.
Thanks for the input, guys.

I have magisk / phh r2 installed and my "OK Google" detection from the Google now on tap screen works very poorly. I've been thinking I had to yell at it to detect my voice, but even that is hit or miss. When I enable OK Google detection from any screen, it works just fine.
Edit: running 2.38.617.6 with latest magisk, included root, magisk hide enabled, and systemless host enabled for AdAway 3.2.

Odd... Man, I've tried so many things to get it working on a fresh install of 4.5.0 with PHH, and could never get it to work.
I would even do a fresh, full wipe install, then I wouldn't install any apps, set up voice model for OK Google, and still couldn't get it to work.

No Google Assistant after switching back OOS

Hey Guys,
today I switched from RR-Remix back to the latest version of OOS. Everything went fine so far, but I have recognized that I have no access to the Google assistant anymore. I have not rooted my phone yet, OEM is unlocked and I have TWRP. But I don't think that this should be a problem since it worked on RR-Remix.
It would be nice if someone can help me
Sincerely,
Firnien

Also make sure your system language is set to English (US) the assistant seems to have problems for me in other languages.

[Request] Google phone apk for Mi A1

Can anybody make a port of the Google phone app for our phone? The in-built version doesn't have the Google exclusive features, like Called ID, local business search, etc. which are supposed to ship with Android One devices. Simply trying to install the apk doesn't work, with the app saying "not compatible with your device".

Its available on XDA forum, just search google phone apk and install downloaded mod apk

Oh thanks.
Here's the link if anybody else is looking for it. Caller ID and Spam detection DO NOT work.
What i don't understand is why we don't have native support for the app, seeing how the Mi A1 is Android One, and all.

Just a heads up, version 11.0.164102751 as stated in op works best, the newer ones have bugs when calling someone from favorites tab. I installed just for the sale of the contact pictures in in call, because otherwise it looks very stupid with contact name and blue screen. For now I can live without nearby search and caller id.

You can install the older version of the Google dialer. Am attaching the file. The Caller ID picture and the local search both works fine. The only bug I saw was that in the Call logs, the incoming, outgoing & the missed calls symbols are messed up. Everything else works just fine.

Or install "google framework" Magisk module and after reboot you can install and use Google Phone app from Play store.. Caller ID, nearby search, favorites, logs, accept/reject call from notification work without any issues, at least I didn't encounter any problem.

Don't wait Use patched version
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zm5uCToKPOa1dwSjFEWTAxbGc/view
Use it as default & disable stock phone app
Its working fine

Which other modules did you install? Try total uninstall of Magisk (not only restore stock boot), reboot, install official beta 14.5 Magisk again and then install only Google framework module. I have been experiencing this with some old/unsupported (?) modules, they somehow damaged magisk.img and I couldn't install or update otherwise working modules anymore.

Haven't you disabled the notifications, or lowered their priority for the phone app? All I did was installed the google framework, installed the dialer, enabled all permissions, allowed system changes, set it as the default phone app and it works with no hiccups.
Edit: someone reported that ambient display doesn't work with disabled screen security feature (PIN, pattern,..) in December update - just for the troubleshooting purpose, make sure that you have pattern set with lock set to very short timeout and smart lock disabled and try calling your phone again.

Black shark 3 assistance needed

So I have had my bs3 just over a mth now and I really love it.
Unfortunately mine came with the Chinese Rom and this is causing some problems for me.
1) cant sign in to the black shark account because the region code is locked
2) whatsapp, snapchat and a few other apps are really inconsistent with notifications (the min the phone goes to sleep it stops receiving msgs until I reopen the app)
3) tinder gives me a location access not granted even though it has been given access.
4) phone doesnt stay connected to pc when plugged in and I have to constantly tweak the usb settings to get it to. (semi fixed by usb drivers which were a pain to install)
In reading up seems like this could be fixed by the global rom but nowhere seems to have it. I even tried contacting blackshark directly to which they said they dont give out the firmware over the internet as there is a chance it would brick it ( I call bs because xiaomi does it FOR EVERY OTHER PHONE and has a tool for it on their site). Does anyone have any idea how to fix any of these issues?

Contact me telegram @hoangtieubao

If your bootloader unlocked , flash the twrp and magisk to root it. Then systemize google apps ,your notifications will be no issue. Most of the google apps will work like global rom. For my case i still use China and i found out china mp5 is more smooth. Just my 2 cent..

Question MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM on Xiaomi Poco F3

Hello everyone.
Today I decided to update my phone (12.5.8 Enhanced) to the latest MIUI version. I was kind of skeptical going into it, but still went with it thinking "why not?" When the update finished and the phone booted, it immediately rebooted and I thought maybe that's supposed to do that, but then it rebooted again, this time to MIUI Recovery mode. And now I discovered that whenever the phone tries to connect to the WIFI or Mobile data, it reboots. Every time. When the internet is turned off, it doesn't. And I noticed that my phone has become a bit laggy and not as responsive as with the previous version of MIUI I had on it, even the refresh rate isn't working properly, it says 120hz but clearly it's 60hz. The update rendered my phone hardly usable. What could be the problem? Has any Poco F3 users encountered these problems? What should I do next? Should I really consider flashing a custom ROM?
Thank you in advance, any help is kindly appreciated.

Wow. This is just with a System update on a phone with a locked bootloader?
You could try to format data... aka. Factory Reset.
If you unlock your bootloader, you must be aware of the downsides. Some apps won't work (atleast not without a workaround), like Banking apps, Netflix, Super Mario Kart, Google Pay.
That's cuz Google's SafetyNet API reports to those apps that the Security-Status of your phone is "Fail", because of the unlocked bootloader.
You can hide it with Custom ROMs that specifically list "SafetyNet passed" or by using Magisk Root with a SafetyNet Fix Module. Or Both idk whatever.
I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM on Android 12 with Magisk Root. Everything works, but this stupid cat & mouse game with Google and Android Modders definitely sucks.

I have a POCO F3 phone. No problems. Hope you used windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat. In your case, you must not use the windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat option.
I have been using MIUI 13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM for a while. There was no problem.
Now I'm on MIUI 22.3.2 / 3 (weekly). I recommend. Works great, amazingly smooth, great option for new sidebar widgets ...
Of course, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Look here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/howto-install-fastboot-image-update-info-no-ota-download.64508/
I have an unlocked bootloader. NETFLIX and Google Pay work without any problems.

Rule no.1 of miui: never update until the community approves of the update. there are always bugs, sometimes some are fixed, but other show up.
Im sure that there'll be a new update which will solve these problems soon, but who knows what kinds of issues you'll have after that. Maybe you should unlock the bootloader and flash back to miui 12.5x stock, so that you can actually use your phone.

Exactly, all are said here ... No probleme with stable and weekly version ... Balaam custom kernel can help also on those rom.

After any major OS update ( I mean moving from one version of android to another) It is recommended to do a factory reset to your phone just after the update finishes.
I always do it for my phones and I did the same for my Poco F3 and had no issues so far. The phone works great, battery improved drastically for me and overall feels fresh.
Try to do a factory reset and see how it goes. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA.

Thanks for the replies.

The thing is, in order to do a factory reset on the phone I have to connect to the Internet which is the thing that's causing the phone to reboot.
Can I do it like through the MIUI Recovery panel? Is it the same?

Yes you can do that, you either boot to recovery from option in the update menu or hold volume up and power while the phone is turned off, then select wipe data. Just make sure to delete Mi account from setting and google account ( I know you have no internet but just making sure so you won't get stuck if somehow you forget your password). Good luck.

Got the same problem with the refresh rate.. 120hz option doesn't work and just does 60hz. I'm using the update my phone gave me. No beta or custom stuff. Just got the 13.0.3 global stable update. 120hz isn't working. Are there any better options for me now? I was thinking about flashing the previous 12.5 update back again. I heard someone here say I can use the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which works to root that one.. where can I find that ROM? And how do I flash that. (I've rooted phones before with magisk) but forgot most of it haha. So what's my best option here? I need my 120hz

Yeah, the refresh rate not working as intended is frustrating. As with the downgrading and flashing, I'm afraid I can't help you with it, because I haven't done anything with flashing/rooting and all that kind of stuff. Wishing the best for you.

Yoo. Some dude on Reddit found the solution!!!! You have to disable miui optimisation. Go to developer settings. Then all the way down somewhere it says: reset to default values. Click that a few times. Now a setting a bit down should pop up saying: "enable miui optimisation" enable that if it isn't already. Then disable it again. Now go to display settings and switch to 60 then back to 120 and there you go. You can now enjoy your 120hz again

Banking apps work if you don't root the phone. Descendant ROM for instance passes SafetyNet as long as you do not install Magisk.

Yup, I mentioned that in my comment. But depends on the Custom ROM of course, not all pass SafetyNet. The devs usually mention it tho.

Hi, is there a way to use MIUI launcher instead of Poco launcher on poco f3 MIUI 13 locked bootloader ?? Thanks !

Since the upgrade, the audio from my phone cuts out after a few minutes and I have to restart it. I use bluetooth earphones to listen to the 'BBC Sounds' app over my home wifi. It doesn't cut out if I use a Redmi Note 8 pro nor a Samsung A5 in the same circumstances.
I don't know if it related but sometime I receive a warning notification tha I've been wearing my earphones too long. I didn't receive this warning before the Miui 13 upgrade.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve the problem with the audio on my Poco F3 ?
