[Q] GTP113 Rooted w/SlimKat no "Ok Google"? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed the Google Now Launcher and microphone icon is perpetually "empty." Checked that hotword detection was enabled in settings as well. I had Nova Launcher installed pre-wipe/root/flash to SlimKat and for some reason it remains in the icons list and I can't get rid of it. Not sure if related to the issue. Thanks!

do you have google search installed ? If yes, check whether it is configured properly. Open it and keep on pressing next until you see google now.
Tell me the feedback afterwards.

I've done all of that already, still the same microphone that isn't filled in and therefore isn't listening.

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.

[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.

@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.?

Now on Tap

Hey everyone, I received my Mate 8 about a week ago but no matter what I try I can't get now on tap working. Every official Google app has permission to do whatever it wants and I have the latest firmware version installed (and yes, now on tap is enabled within the Google app) but I still can't get it working. I've read that other people have the same problem. Has anyone else figured out how to fix this? Thanks in advance

Sorry can you elaborate more? do you mean google now? as I know it's clashing with EMUI of Huawei at the moment unless others can correct me....
Well Google now works in general, "OK Google" speech recognition works fine as does pretty much everything else, the only things that don't work are the home button related gestures (holding home for Now On Tap and swiping up from home to get to your now cards).

Flash the international rom that should be released in the near future and im sure it will work much better.

How do you enable OK Google?

The title says it all. It is grayed out whether custom choice wake up is selected or not.
Go to the Google menu km the Settings, from there "search and now" and enable what you need.
Thanks for the advice but that option is grayed out. ""Ok Google" detction" Under "Search & Now". I will post a screenshot later on.
Try cleaning the data of the google app, then uninstall and reinstall.
As far as I know, OK Google works from the app or google launcher home screen
This is what it looks like. I tried clearing cache and data. I will now try uninstalling the updates.
Edit: I cannot uninstall or disable the Google app. What gives? I want to avoid factory reset if possible.
Look for permissions given to the google app, enable mic if disabled and try google now launcher
Thank you for the advice. I was able to get the "OK Google" command to work. The option is still grayed out in the setting, but I did it via Google Play app. It is an odd bug (if it is). Maybe it has to do with Huawei's voice command option (that wakes up the phone)?
It can, since EMUI is kinda aggressive with apps

Google Pay - Apps drawing over the screen stopping me adding a card

I'm on Havok Rom, and I've got magisk installed, and it passes all safety checks and is hidden from google pay. Google pay works fine until i go to confirm the card details, then i get a pop up saying "looks like another app is blocking access to the wallet, Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen and try again"
I've disabled all apps from Displaying over other apps in the settings, but this error keeps popping up.
Does anyone know solution to this?
Did you find a solution to this? I am on stock and have the same issue.
I don't get the same error message, but I can't use my credit card with Google Pay anymore... I get the error message "Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way".
It is rooted. Of course it is.
I'm using a OnePlus 6 with the latest firmware. My Recovery or Kernel aren't modified. Google Pay is hidden in Magisk and passes the SafetyNet test.
What gives? Google increased it's root detection? Is it happening to someone else?
Thank you!

no solution found yet, even on a completely fresh ROM install with no apps other than Google it still gives me the same message.
I have the same problem with one banking app. Others work fine except one. Also on stock ROM

OK, I started thinking maybe this is something to do with the gesture area at the bottom of the screen, and I think I'm right as I have a solution that works (at least for me).
Go to Settings->Buttons & Gestures->Navigation Bar & Gestures
Under 'Choose Navigation Bar' select 'Back, Home, Recents'
Now go into 'Navigation Bar Customisation' and turn on 'Hide the navigation bar' - this will add an icon on the left of the nav bar allowing you to pin or unpin (autohide) it.
Now go back into the Google Pay app and start setting up your card. When you get to the point where the 'Continue' button is missing pin or unpin the navigation bar, depending on what state its in currently. The 'Continue' button will appear.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately, continue button has always been there but I can't click it in the confirming card details section due to the app drawing over the screen notification, and unfortunately removing the nav bar didn't change anything.

Had a similar issue. The only way I got it to work is go to settings: Apps -> Google Play Services ->Permissions -> Disable phone/telephone. Try again.
For me BLue light filter app was blocking the wallet to pay after recent update on wallet. By turning off filter app, wallet worked.
This is not working for me as well. Any possible fix? The fixes mentioned in the comments do not work for me. I have disabled drawing over apps for all apps
Possible solution
Make sure you arent using an app to dull your screen resolution. Turn it off in settings.
I don't know if this will work or not but I would suggest going through all of your apps yes I know it's probably a lot. Turning off the permission to draw over other apps one by one. Reboot your device and check to see if it's working

Try turning off smart pixels or any such thing
Try turning off battery saver. It worked for me.
Got the resolution
Just turn off the smart pixel if it's enabled
I found the solution guys. App notifications are the culprits here. You have to clear the notifications by dragging down the notification bar from top. It resolved the issue for me. Please try and comment.
The Problem I have also face, but I have resolved the issue by uninstalling the blue lite app, the screen will impact on the google pay and Irctc app
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I am using Oneplus 5 with the crdroid pie based rom. For me the issue was fixed by turning off the smart pixels option in crdroid settings.
Developer options
The only thing that helped me was disabling developer options. I think Google Pay assumes that since the developer options are enable the device isn't safe.
Hope it helps.
(I have an ASUS Zenfone 4)
I had the same issue on android. Turned out it was the facebook messenger app. Force close it in app settings and should work
