Have you set the english language and and set google now on?

Search for something like "Whats the weather like today" using the search bar. When the results come up in the bottom right corner there is 3 dots. click that and then settings. Then at the top you should see "turn google now on" one its on, go to voice and change language to "English US" only works on this for the "Ok Google" feature.

Thanks guys....mystery solved! That's cool!

Google Now Launcher KitKat only

KitKat only.
Here is the Google Now Launcher with integrated google now and always listening for "ok google now" enabled. Just set voice in google now options to English US and check Hotword detection option and it will listen all the time

Edit. Go to settings/security and tick allow unknown sources, then open it in any file explorer and it will install normally.

Thanks but.. How do we install it?

Like any normal app. Allow unknown sources and open it with any file explorer. It will instal normally. Btw i have found that commands like "set an alarm" only work if u got device language in english us. Enjoy

This doesn't work on all devices. My Verizon Galaxy S4 gives a parsing error.

Well this is the g2 forum and I got it installed on mine as we speak. Also I think it needs Kitkat to run.

OP, think you should add that this only works on KitKat.

Yes that would be a good idea... Doesn't work on 4.2.2

Did anybody test this on the G2 with 4.4.2?
Thanks!

Yeah, it works great on my D802 4.4.2!

Working great for me on 4.4.2 with two issues.
Certain widgets don't work
"OK Google" Doesn't work. Mic icon is soild and it says say OK Google.. but then the mic icon goes hollow and the voice command doesn't work. Hotword detection is on and English US is selected.

GEL
This one works without any problems on stock 4.2.2 , "Ok, Google" works. Also tried this launcher on my Note 8 tablet. Also, no problems at all. Probably will work on any device

I can confirm #2. Don't really want to install the old version of the GEL as per T1RaeL's post, would rather wait for this to be fixed. Hotword detection is not a huge issue for me.

Lg widgets work with lg launcher only so weather widget for example won't work with other launcher. "Ok google" works (tested in two different g2) but phone needs to be unlocked. It won't wake up ur phone unless it is a moto x. Neither the version I posted nor the one that is posted by the guy above. It is always listening as long as the phone is awake and u are not in any application (i.e game etc)

Also confirmed that LG weather widget does not work on with the GEL launcher. In addition, my wallpapers are squished. Hitting home from Google Now does not bring me back to the main screen, unlike the Nexus 5's launcher.
'OK Google' works when you have the offline speech recognition pack downloaded.
If that still does not work, LG's KK update turned on the 'on screen phone' in accessibility, which interferes with hot keyword recognition.
Please let me know if others are experiencing the same issue.

Sweet, this fixed it for me.
Turned off the 'On Screen Phone' and the "OK Google" started working fine.
Thanks!

[Q] Ok google command not working in nexus 5

Hey, whenever i say ok google from my homescreen nothing happens.
Language is set to english us and hotword detection is on but still it doesnt work ( tried restarting the device also )
Mic is filled and white .
Any help ?

It didnt work work for me either, I had to change the whole system language to English(US), not just Google Now.

Change to English UK and give it a try? Works fine for me

Try "Ok Google Now", recently mine and other devices in my household changed and it will not recognize it unless we use that phrase.

did you try the phrase "ok google now"?

Go to Settings/ Apps/ then slide to the All Tab and search for " Google Search app" open it and clear its data. It will set your launcher to default setup and then check to see if it works.

yes,say "ok google" is mention in bar and mic is white

@FourPointedFreak and I were wondering if you have tried saying "OK Google Now".

That's very strange. What's your phone setup? rom, kernel, rooted, etc

Stock rom , non rooted
I was thinking if there is any app that i hv installed might be conflicting with hotword detection
This sucks btw

He apparently can't read what we're requesting lol
I am pretty sure using the correct phrase will help. It listens for the "oh" sound in Ok and the "ow" of Now.

@FourPointedFreak
"OK Google now" also not working , I also tried that

Mine works with anything close to 'OK Google'. You can say 'OK Noodle', 'Ok Poodle', heck, you can even just make the G sound after OK and it works.

Lol mine is giving me headache,and i look dumb on keep saying ok Google in front of my family and den nothing happens

You do have Google Now enabled, right? If there is no "Say Ok Google" on the search bar then you won't get an answer.

Google now is enabled

Just format and restore to stock ROM. Easiest and simplest solution to all known problems.?

[Q] some questions

Just recently bought n5.
Is quick settings really like this? Normal wifi press takes me to listed wifi, and long press turns it normally. same goes for bluetooth etc. Been on a cm11 and its the other way around.
How do i get that "say ok google" back on homescreen google bar? - its lost now leaving with old jb mic look. Turning speech in settings off makes it kitkat look mic but no ok google.
Ive not rooted yet. Any ideas?

Yes, it's normal behavior of stock rom(quick settings).
If you're using the stock google now launcher then the search box should be placed on every homescreen.. Unfortunately, you can't use "OK Google" command with other launchers..

if it doesnt say "say ok google" on the search bar anymore, that is normal, it eventually goes away. as long as you saying ok google still works.

What happened to what's up

For a while I was able to say OK Google and then say what's up and it would tell me my notifications. But lately it won't respond to what's up. Anybody know how to fix this?

Reboot doesn't work but I think that because I am using a female English voice she doesn't understand the what's up phrase. I wonder how you say what's up in England ?
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

There is the Droid/Moto X touchless controls "OK Google Now" and the Android Google Search "OK Google" detection, and they are different things. The Touchless Controls "OK Google Now" supports "What's up" but the stock Google search "OK Google" does not.
I believe that Touchless Controls OK Google Now wakes to a black background screen.

Thanks for the reply. I found out that telling Google to read notifications works instead of what's up.

I just did some experimenting and found that everything works as you said with the English (us) voice. But with the English (uk) voice the what's up doesn't work and I have to tell it to read notifications instead.
