Can't get "Ok Google" to turn on... - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Trying to turn on the "Ok Google" voice activation option... but I can't get it to work.
I've attached a couple screen shots. I hit the agree button on that first screen and it takes me to the second and just stays there. Nothing ever happens.
Any ideas?

I ended up force stopping the Google app and then doing the retraining. Works fine now.

Yep. That fixed mine. Thanks!

I had to do something similar, but I think I disabled the Google app, then re-enabled it. (Which also would have stopped and started it, I guess.) I think it happened because the first time through setup I canceled the voice training without finishing it (was in a noisy environment). When I went back to it later, it froze on that screen.

yup... y'all are correct. i stopped google and i actually cleared the data (not sure that was necessary). worked just fine after. thanks!

Talkback notification won't go away

For some reason, the talkback service has decided to tell me it is activated even though it is not. I have a persistent notification that won't go away. Since it's a system service, there is no way to just hide the notification. Any ideas?
Clearing the cache and rebooting didn't help either.
Did you ever figure this out I have the same problem on sprint. You can't even disable the Talkback app.
Nope. I did a factory/hard reset last night. Still the same issue.
I haven't installed any apps I didn't have on my GS5, so it can't be an app's fault. Going to do an exchange at the AT&T store in the next day or two. I'm not getting stuck with something like this.

This would be a workaround (if it does work), but try tapping and holding on the notification, and then click on the "i" icon to see which app is displaying the notification. If it's a stand-alone app (i.e. not the Android system), then you should be able to block notifications for that app.

Thank you, but it is the system app doing it. I'm just going to swap for a different S6 at the store tomorrow. Got my app data backed up to the cloud thanks to Helium.
The messed up part is it literally happened right when I got my phone. I'm gonna try a factory reset then if not try to get it swapped out
@dizzymatt Still have it? It mysteriously disappeared for me today. I was literally going to go to the store this afternoon to exchange this thing. Maybe I got lucky or sensed I was coming!
Afterward, though, the oddest thing happened. I was looking through the store for a different Google product and came across this one called Google talkback. I thought that was very weird to find right after I had had this issue. When I clicked on it, it allowed me to uninstall it. Never saw it in my apps list or the application manager, but there it was. Again, this is after the notification went away from me so I have no idea if this is related.
Here is the link. Maybe uninstalling it will help you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.talkback
Seen what you said and I didn't have the app installed but it just disappeared for me too after I rebooted my phone I wonder what it was.

Now I'm wondering if it was related to Google Now since the notification and the ability to say "Ok, Google from any screen went away about the same time.
Disabling Talk back
I got stuck on a 15 minute hell ride when I accidentally turned on my Talkback feature on my new S6. I couldn't turn it off even after toggling the stupid settings. I finally was able to turn it off by tapping the home screen button three times.. apparently that is the On/Off switch for the accessibility features. After it finally stopped talking back to me I went in to manually toggle the off button on that ridiculous feature.
Same problem / solved ?
I had same problem with notification
Decided I would try enable, so that I could then disable
Seems to have done the job

OK Google Only Works In App

Just started having this issue today. Previously I was able to say OK Google anytime the device was on. Now it seems that I have to actually open up the Google app to get OK Google to work. Anyone else have this issue? Resolutions?

I can't use OK Google, and OTA doesn't work because the OTA process detects that I'm rooted, and tells it tells me No Update for you. Why does Samsung always have to make things more difficult than they should be?

The same thing happened to me. Though my situation was a bit weirder. I got it to work this morning (about an hour ago), then 5 minutes later, it wouldn't and the setting to use it from any screen disappeared.
I'm having the same issue.
My "OK Google" detection from any screen option disappeared.
same here
option is gone
only work if i have the widget on home screen
Weird, I keep seeing this issue pop up in several threads. Mine works just fine. For what it's worth, I'm on the latest OTA and rooted, using Nova Launcher.
Same here. I have even tried it the first time with the lock screen, but now I can only use it with the screen on. Options for screen off have dissapeared
I just updated my google play services to this one
http://www.talkandroid.com/245692-go...d/#more-245692
installed the apk, now my google detection from any screen is gone now to , might have to do with this version of the play services.

Google Voice stuck on screen

Since the ota, if i am in google messenger and use Google voice to speak a text, close Messenger and open it back up later, the Google Voice screen pops up and will not go away till i reboot. .Booted into recovery and cleared cache and that didn't work.
It's happened to me a couple of times. But a quick reboot solves the problem. I've found its Google keyboard itself getting hung up.

If you click Recents and swipe everything away it normally fix's it with out a reboot.
This is a glitch with the actual Google app from what I have seen. Customer had it on a Note 4 haven't seen it on the Note 5 yet but the only fix we saw was to force stop the Google app.... Which is a pain to do all the time. We uninstalled the Google app update and it fixed it then updated it again and it came back. Tried it with different keyboards.... In the end then fix is to uninstall and turn auto update off till it gets fixed by yet another Google update

Chance it might not come back but it could just be your setup. Since obviously not everyone is having it but some are. Mine has yet to do it. I will try to cause it. Before it was caused over and over by using the speech on ANY keyboard that uses Google for voice recognition and then lock the screen after it types a word of what you said. Open the Phone back and it should be stuck.
UPDATE: Yea I can't make mine do it but anyone who had that issue I did those steps and it replicated.

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.
Sent from my PURE XL using Tapatalk
Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?

"Ok Google" Recognition Not Working

Well, title says it all. Can't get Assistant open with the phrase. Tried retraining the voice model a bunch of times, turned off and and on voice search in activities and have restarted my phone. I'm rooted with magisk. Anyone else experiencing issues with assistant?
Me.
I am 9.5.4, unlocked bootloader, magisk installed, super clean installation. Ok Google recognition was working totally perfect the few times I used it in 12 hours; in the last 5 hours it started not picking any voice command, be it in a locked screen or not. Wiping Google's cache didn't help. It must have something to do with OOS (maybe rooting? not likely I guess)
PS voice dictation seems to be working properly

I'm on 9.5.3 with the other stuff the same. And yeah, all the other voice stuff works. I can open assistant other ways and then use my voice to say a command. Just cant activate assistant with voice. Hopefully it's not something to do with rooting, that would suck...

It cannot be. I used to activate Google assistant during the few hours after having rooted my phone and it was fine. It just stopped working. It sucks but that's our paycheck for being early adopters lol

After having tried all of the solutions I could think of - clear Google app cache, clear Play services cache, clear any sort of account, clear my desk lol, uninstall and install updates here and there, retrain voice, change languages - I reset everything and start with a fresh OOS install. Now it works no matter what as I am still rooted, with Nova and I have rebooted my phone several times. I suggest you to do the same. Well, maybe wait a couple of days so I can tell you whether it stops working or not. FINGERS CROSSED!!

You have updated OOS ie you went from 9.5.3 to 9.5.4 and then 9.5.5 so did I. And so my phone was screwed.
Take my advice: backup, uninstall all Magisk modules and then go to settings and reset everything. You won't even need to boot your phone from a modified boot image!
Please do it for me lol
Any chance of resolving this without full reset?
I'm seeing something similar, 9.5.5 with magisk and Nova, upgraded from 9.5.4. I did full flash of 9.5.5 OTA (ie. all partitions not incremental) without wiping data.
I can only get Assistant to react when the screen is off or when the screen is "half on" (ie. black screen with clock). Other places it does not work, ex. lock screen, home screen, in the assistant app, in the Google app etc..
In 9.5.4 I could get the assistant to react from the home screen but never when using a BT headset.
Hi,
I can not use assistant
I set my voice in the settings , but when the screen is turned on and I say "ok google" the wizard does not run.
If the screen is off, the "ok google" launches but I can not talk to him. He does not react to the voice.
I erase the cache + data from the wizard but nothing to do.
Do you have any ideas.
Thank you
I don't root
Sorry for my english, I do my best
Bringing up the post hoping for new insights. Mine just suddenly stop working.

Did you find a resolution to this issue? I'm experiencing the same and have not been able to fix it...
Edit:
I see that you've resolved the issue. I'm not using the Plus Beat app so your resolution will no help me.
I'm 9.5.5.GM21BA, rooted with Magisk 19.3 and Nova launcher (no idea if this matters).
I already saw this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/google-match-lockscreen-t3936647
But hiding Google Services Framework and Google Play Services in Magisk didn't help.
Any tips are welcome.
I don't root
Maybe an incompatibility with another application or Nova
