Have you got any other voice activation apps installed? I gave "Utter" a quick try, but even though it has support for OK Google hotword detection, I found Utter did end up killing it on occasion, so I got rid of it

Can you think of what you might have installed when it was working fine until it stopped?
Easy street scenario is to try try and clear the cache and data if that doesn't work, factory reset before we get too rambunctious.
Can I give my current app list. So that it could be easy to troubleshoot. These are my currently running apps.
Notification toggle, facebook, applock,cover, wechat, whatsapp ,exdialor,dashclock widget, Google services, glance, light manager, app launcher for dash clock, Google keyboard.

I think it would be best to try and clear the cache and data from the Google experience launcher. Settings---> apps----> find launcher it is blue with a house icon in the middle.
It doesn't look like any of those apps could cause any conflict.

it didn't have any cache, it says total 16kb and cache is 0.00B
Then you will most likely have to do a factory reset I cannot think of anything else.
I just thought that maybe you change one of the hotwords and try that and see if it works, long shot but worth a try,

I thought you could change words to say to make google activate but I could be wrong. If it's still not working factory reset.
If you are using different launcher, try to go back and use google launcher.

After unlocking my phone, I get to my home screen with all my folders etc. As soon as I swipe to the right, I get Google Now!
It's as if it's an always on widget. On my N4, I would invoke Google Now by holding the Home key and swiping upwards (which I can also do with my N5).
Is this something that can be switched off or is this an integrated function of the system?
I'm not looking to switch off Google Now before anybody asks.

As far as I can see the only option would be to either A) Uninstall Google Now, or B) Install a different Home Launcher ... Neither are suitable resolutions to your question. I personally like having it as a home screen since I turned off my softkeys in Lieu of LMS
The only thing I can think of is switch launchers to nova or something similar. You would lose the "OK Google" function from the launcher though., so not a good solution if you use that function. As far as I know there is now way to remove it from the stock launcher.

Long press the homescreen, click settings, then uncheck the Google now option.

Thanks guys.
I don't mind having it but just wasn't sure if it was a feature that can be turned off without completely disabling Google Now.
Battery life is quite impressive on this thing even with it always on!

It does not disable Google now entirely just the extra screen, maybe you should try it before you respond with useless replies.

This page is the same page as if you went into settings from Google Now Directly. This will turn it off.
EDIT:
For Sh*ts n Giggles I went ahead and tested your method. Guess what? It turned off Google Now Entirely.
Need some help guys.. I switched from Dalvik to ART for the first time last night, and now the "OK Google" option doesnt work. It used to show up on the home screen in search bar, but not anymore. I've tried everything - language is already English (US), ok google option is checked in settings - search - voice search.
I've tried going back to Dalvik and it doesnt show up there either. I looked up online and apparently if the mic on the google search bar is full, it means ok google is active. In my case, it is full, but ok google just does not work.
Can someone please help? Is this unique to my phone or anyone else faced this issue recently? I couldnt find anything in the forums about this.
Thanks in advance!
Did you try saying "OK Google"?

say "ok google" slowly
Go into google now, then go to the menu button at the bottom , then go to voice, then either turn hot word detection on or off depending what it was on. Then restart the device, then turn it back on or off. Finally turn it back on again. This worked for me. Just a quick recalibration of the setting
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.

@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.?
Is there a way to get ok google to work on the edge?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
It works just fine on my t-mobile edge. Just scroll to whatever home screen your Google search bar is on and say, Okay Google.
I was playing with the settings the other day to try to save battery power. I must have shut something off, because it doesn't work on mine.

Ok ran google setup and now it works. But it just made the search bar useless. Didn't like the looks of it anyway.
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
Have you tried this?
Settings -->language and input --> turn on voice search --> turn on, "ok Google" detection --> record your own, "ok Google "
When done, try it and works even when screens off....
That is a different way of getting there, but that is how I got it to work again. (You can also get there by using google setup in the app drawer) of course the OK Google is gone from the widget, but I guess it's better this way.

If you are using Nova launcher, it has the capability to work from any screen of the launcher. (homescreen/alt screens/dashboard)
Been using Nova for a few years and they've done a great job integrating things like this, while adding a little extra capabilities.
If you follow the directions in google setup, you can access OK Google from any screen and also if the lock screen is on if you choose to do so.

I know this but tons of other dont.
No one ever cares to read the manual.
Plus alot of stuff is disable by the carrier if they let them setup the phone.
That's why I always setup my own phone and then later go through all the settings.
I had my Note 3 able to send text messages by voice while the screen was off. And it's nice to be able to tell it to play a song while it's in your pocket.
Voice controls are cool to me. Just suck that's it's always listening so if you say something similar it will wake up.
Someone please help me out here. S voice is giving me some serious pain in the ass right now.
I want to disable S voice completely and only use Google Now but that seems to be impossible.
The Issue:
I can only OK Google from my home page where the Google search widget is. On my G3 I could OK Google from any app any screen and even lockscreen without a hiccup.
S Voice is causing issues pretty much everywhere I want OK Google
What I've tried:
Tried freezing S Voice in which case I lost the ability to OK Google from Anywhere and the lockscreen.
So tried using the S switcher app which was very buggy and had to simply uninstall it...
What I want:
Just plain OK Google and nothing else. All I want to be able to do is OK google from any screen and any app like I did so many times before on all other devices I've owned.
Ideally I would want to be able to activate it from lock screen too but that's not a priority.
Can anyone help me out here.
My friends S4 can do this all seamlessly too but the Edge seems to bug out everywhere because of S Voice
If you go to your Google settings in the app drawer, you'll find the options for ok Google to activate from any screen. I have a t-mobile Edge.
Google Settings->Search and Now
If you're rooted you can install xposed and install the ok Google module which works for any launcher

I can use OK Google from any screen and it's still available from the widget. I am using the stock launcher & have an AT&T Edge. My friend has a T-Mobile Edge and he couldn't get OK Google to work from any screen other than the home screen, even though his OK Google detection settings are the same as mine. He gave up and started using Nova launcher lol.. could be that some devices have an issue with this.

This pretty much sums it up. Like I have said I'm no noob when it comes to using Google Now and know every detail of it's settings. Yes, all my settings are set to activate from any screen yet it fails to activate.
The issue is if I freeze or uninstall S Voice I am no longer able to check mark the Activate from any screen box and if I have S Voice activated it just seems to cause issues with ok google and just a clumsy software overall.
I was just wondering if anyone had a workaround.
You have to freeze S-Voice, then clear data for the Google Search app and then set Google up again. Trust me.

You do have to freeze S voice. Then while in application manager go to Google search and clear data. Then get out of settings because you are correct the option to activate from any screen is gone. Now go to your app drawer and choose Google settings. Click on Search & Now. Click on Voice and set it up from there. The option is available in these settings.

Well I'm no expert but I don't see why it wouldn't work the same for S voice.
The issue I'm having is Google now won't work when connected to bluetooth. I have mine connected to my Gear S and when I say ok Google the bar stays frozen instead of jumping around showing you it's listening. Soon as I disconnect my watch it works fine. It's annoying!

I can't find a way to enable Ok Google command while the screen is turned off. Does that mean this option isn't avaiable on the Galaxy A8? That would be a huge bummer. Also, they decided to only include a few parts of Bixby, basically rendering it useless.

Ok Google is not even working when the screen is on. I was asked to train the phone to recognize my voice (which I did) but, now the Voice Match option is greyed out in Google app settings. I tried everything, I cleared the cache of Google app, I tried using Nova Launcher instead of the default launcher, I tried restarting the phone. That's another bummer.
