I just updated from 4.4 to 4.4.2.
The "OK Google" hotword detection was working fine (in both the GEL and the Google Search app if I accessed it via the app icon) before I updated, but now the ability seems to be lost no matter what I do.
I've double-checked the following -
My system default language is English (United States).
In my Voice Search settings:
a) my language is also English (United States).
b) Hotword detection option is checked.
c) In my Offline speech recognition > Download Languages settings, I've English (United States) pre-installed (no different from in 4.4).
In short, I simply haven't changed any settings that might have caused this problem.
Anyone having this same issue, or know how to fix it?
UPDATE:
I figured out what happened - it was Pushbullet that caused my problem, not 4.4.2.
Apparently their "Notification Mirroring" feature (which is quite awesome) under Accessibility settings somehow gimped Google Search's hotword detection. Here's a link to someone else's thread where this problem had already been discovered last month(!).
I only found out after Pushbullet themselves acknowledged the issue in their app update description on Google Play.
Anyway thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
I'm still on 4.1. Not sure what the deal might be. You'll probably see a 4.3 update now to fix this issue.

i had that after updating to 4.2.2. I had English (US) at first but I tried switching to English Canada and the "Say OK Google" was gone. Went back to English (US) and it's back and working again.

Hmm. Which setting did you change exactly?
The general language option for the whole device in Settings > Language & input, or in Voice under the Google Search settings?
Google Now>settings>Voice>Language

Didn't work for me.
Tried it with English (UK), the mic button was greyed out / just showed an outline. Hit the back button till I was on my homescreen and swiped away Google Search in the Recent Apps list. Switched back to English (US), and it was still the same.
Same here
I got the same,
it doesnt even work if you're on the google now screen
I am having the same issue after the 4.4.2 update....hope they fix this soon i was really getting used to this feature!
That's strange. I updated and it's working fine for me
Thx very usefull..
Working fine for me on CM-11 (4.4.2)
I flashed the full 4.4.2 factory image from google. Still shows "Ok google" on my search bar and worked just fine.
It goes away after like 10-15 tries... but that time google knows that you have learned the process.
or are you saying when you say "okay google" it doesn't detect at all ?
Uninstall Updates to Google Search and then reinstall them.
Found the culprit. Problem now solved.
Guys, I know what happened - it was Pushbullet that caused my problem.

I'll update the OP.
I had the same issue going from 4.4 to 4.4.2. The fix for me was the main language setting. All my inputs were set under English (U.S.), i.e., keyboard, voice but my main language setting was English (U.K.). Don't how how it happened but I switched it back and I was good

You were spot on with that buddy! The same thing happened after I allowed notification mirroring with AirDroid. Disabled that in the accessibility settings and Google hot words works again. Thanks a lot

I have some problems with Google voice search.
I cant get any audible answer from Google now, no matter what question i try (not every question generate audible answers).
I have tried to set media volume to max, and to press volume up when i should hear the answer. Language is set to English(US) and voice output is on.
Second problem is that i cant open any apps with voice search, or set a reminder. "Take a picture" or "Play some music" doesnt work either.
I have unrooted stock fw (4.4.4) and use the Google Now launcer (3.6.14.1337016).
This should work outside US right, as long as i have set the language to english? (i also tried this using TunnelBear vpn with no success).
Anyone know what i could try to make these things work?
edit: i've tried to fix this problem several times, it has newer worked for me. 2 minutes after posting this i solved both problems by changing system language to English (it was in my native language).
So i guess you need to use a system language that supports voice search to make it work..
I have updated my XT1033 to Lollipop Brazil OTA. However, I cannot get my Okay Google detection work anywhere including Google Now,
Wonder anyone has the same problem.
Cheers,
Go to:
Google Settings App -> Search & Now -> "Ok Google" Detection
Check whether all 3 (or atleast first) toggles are ON.
If yes, then click on "Retrain Voice Model", (it will then tell you to say Ok Google 3 times).
This is not the problem. I have set everything on. When I train the voice, it just doesn't respond no matter how many times I say OK Google
Hello
Im using Copilot navigation and the voice is cut off, example when the voice should tell "Please turn left", tell "Please tur" and cut. On my android phone is OK.
If You want @Malaysk I can send you on private my android account where I have bought this app.
Second question, Im always update only rom from dupdate.img, I need to update mcu also?
hi i know this is old post but did you ever solve the issue, i have the same problem.
and have found i can only use the standard android voice if you change it to one of the named voices it will cut out.
I have the same problem aswell. I'm using a kgl px5 and it's really annoying

How do you get it to have the standard android voice? I think I could cope with that as I like using the co pilot app. I'm using iGo at the moment and although it works properly it's nowhere near as good as copilot.
Hi you just pick the top voice option pico TTS and it will use the basic google voice, which for some unknown reason is the only one t hat doesnt cut out half way through a sentence.

Do you mean on the copilot app itself in the voice settings?
Sorry yes the copilot app itself

I've sorted it, thanks buddy!
It is an American woman's voice but atleast it's working so I'll learn to put up with her??
No worries, glad I could help.
ab1702 i have been having a play with the voice settings and think i may have a better solution, i now have a UK voice in CoPilot that doesn't cut off and that sounds relatively normal and not like a darlek.
If you go to the playstore on your headunit and install the Google TTS package, Then go into your settings in android, go to the device' Settings, and to Language and Input > Text-to-Speech Output, and select the google TTS instead of the pico TTS option then change all the google TTS settings in the same menus u can choose english UK and there is also 2 voice packages with various Male\Female voices i find the bottom one in package one to be the most human, Once you have changed all the settings in android Then open your copilot voice options and it should have changed to the Google TTS voice you have chosen in android and should work fine. Let me know how you get on :good:
I had the same problem with Greek copilot voices. It was cutting off the voice after first 2 words. I've installed TTS and now it has been fixed, but i have problem with the voices volume. I can barely hear them while radio is on and i can't find a way to turn it up. I tried the settings in (android) Navigation menu but even if i change the volume it is still the same. Also i found a setting in languages menu to boost the tts volume but still the same even it is on or off.
Any ideas?

Google App broke it on the last update. You can check by uninstalling the Google App on the watch. It will uninstall the updates. Test to see if "OK Google" works.
I have same issue: ok google hotword is not working...tried changing language (i'm italian )resetting watch and also phone...downgrading google app, setting all authorization on...nothing worked...can someone help?
Smells like a temporary fix for the slowdown caused by ok Google, deactivate it ??
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google. After a reset it's possible but only for a few hours. Strange.
I had an update for Google few minutes ago. Try to install it and check it out later.
Hey guys I have a problem with Google Assistant and I would like to know if any of you had similar problems. I live in Czech Republic, Google Assistant is part of the Google app here as the standalone Assistant app is not available in PlayStore.
I set my phone to US English, set everything up including changing default voice, "Ok Google" detection and it works perfectly fine until phone goes offline. Then Google Assistant forget every settings, reverts to Voice 1 and stops responding to "Ok Google". It also shows weather in Fahrenheit, even though I set it to Celsius before. I wonder if it´s just a Google issue or if there are some EMUI shenaningans in play.
Model BKL-L09 (C432)
Thanks
