Yeah, it's like a tutorial but it leaves after a while.

The indicator for if Hotword detection is currently listening or not is the microphone symbol in the search bar. If it becomes hollowed out, such as during speaker music playback then it is not listening.

Hi all,wondering if you can help with issue I have with Google maps/back. It always would give me detailed voice prompts during navigation and would
speak out street names and keep me updated during the trip. Now, all that is gone. I still get the voice but it is very basic. Won't say much actually, just turn left or turn right. What happened to Google maps/back or this or is it my skyrocket that is having the issue?

Is your phone rooted?
Anyone else having a problem getting OK Google to launch gone now? It worked fine when I first bought the phone then stopped after a couple days. Then I rooted the phone and it started working again but then stopped after a couple days. I'm running stock rooted. I even cleared the data on the search app and it still didn't work.

It only works on US English but as the OP said, it did work before and he hasn't changed language so we can assume he is using US English.
It's an issue that I've seen crop up around XDA and Reddit and one I've had myself, so don't worry too much because I assume it'll be fixed in later builds. All that works for me is a reboot, then Google Now will detect 'OK Google' again. Try that.
"Ok Google" may disappear but feature is working
that's what is happening with me. I wiped the Launcher data twice to get back the "Ok Google" on the search bar
but it disappeared again and When I say okay google it works
A reboot definitely doesn't help. The only other time it came back was when I unlocked the bootloader and it wiped the device.

If the microphone on the "Google" search bar of the home screen is filled in, it is listening. If it is hollow (an outline of a microphone) then it's not listening.
Reasons it may not be listening:
A. An app has requested audio access (games, music, videos, camera, even if they're in the background). This is especially common with games that insist on running even when no longer visible. Swipe away the app(s) and the microphone will activate itself again.
B. Not set to US English.
C. Google Now isn't configured.
D. Hotword in Google Search settings is turned off.
Any of those reasons are common and considered normal functionality. If you can eliminate all of them then you're looking at something more in depth like ROM issues, broken hardware, etc.
The microphone is hollow.
A. It isn't a game or app because it doesn't fix with a reboot.
B it is set to us English
C gone now is configured
D hotword is turned on
I haven't changed any of the settings but I have double checked that the settings are correct. I read on Android police that other people are having problems with now but none of the problems are the same as mine.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but changing the language, back to home press the microphone and then changing it back to US seems to work for me.

I cleared the data on the search app which sucked because not only did it not fix the problem but it erased all my home screen app positions

I cant even activate Google Now cards! Also a lot of the settings are missing on the google search app. My language is set to US but i think google is blocking it here in my country
On my Note II i had it working fine!
The first picture is from clearing the cache and uninstalling all app updates. The second picture is the first page after activating Google now.

What do you mean you can't activate it?
Go to settings > accounts > google > search > and what do you see?

Have you tried turning Google Now off and then back on?
So opt-out and then back in?
I thought I remembered reading that OK Google should work even on your lockscreen if you use slide and from any other screen as long as your device is awake but it only works on my home screen or Google now... An I just wrong or is something wrong with my device?

Nothing wrong with your device.. This feature is enabled only for US devices.. Although there may be a workaround to activate it on your device I heard.. I'm from India and this feature does not work on my phone

My device is a US device... I bought it in America and a friend brought it to me...

Its not from where you buy it. Its what carrier you are connected to and what is your primary email id on device. If your email id has address/postal code of outside of us then your device is not consider as us device

Oh well. I'm guessing there's no way to fake it yet...? Thanks a lot!

I have the US version and live in the US and "OK Google" does NOT work from the lockscreen. It only works from the homescreen or Google Now as OP has stated.
Pretty sure it's only supposed to work from the Homescreen where the microphone symbol is present. Confirm/deny?
Actually now that I look it up on all the reviews it says on home screen or Google now... But I remember reading a while ago saying unlocked out lockscreen without password... Whatever.
If it worked on the lockscreen though that would be awesome... So much more useful

OK Google in India
You can still use the feature.. Don't worry..just follow these simple steps:
Menu>settings>language & input
Change the language to English (US).
Now just go back to your home screen.. And say 'OK google'
Worked for me and my friends..
Cheers!!

So within Google Now when I click the little magic looking icon, I try to change my location and it says can't reach Google at this moment?
My friend was able to do it next to me in his Galaxy Mega with no problem.
Any thoughts?

Side Solution:
Found a work around by opening Google Maps, sliding the little tab on the left out and editing the location from there.

Try a different connection type. If you're on wifi, try it on lte, or vice versa.

Already attempted. Does it allow you to modify the location?

I've noticed this for about a week now... I'm running DroidKang, but wouldn't think that matters.

Hi,
I have a problem with my google now. The speech output is too quick, like it's being fastend. If I ask who bill gates is then it will work normally. But if I ask to send a text message to someone. The voice turns to be very quick. It worked normally when I used it before, now its all speedend up. Very weird.
I treid to uninstall google search update and reinstall didn't work. I'm trying different things but nothing seems to work.
Anyone also have the same issue here?

You can adjust the speed of the voice output in its settings.
