'ok Google' - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have updated my N8010 to 4.4.2. I was really hoping that it had the Google search feature where you say 'ok Google' like my S4 has, but it doesn't. I was wondering if there was any way of getting this feature onto my tablet?.
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

Its there on my N8010 on kitkat, there is a voice search app in the app draw and I can also access it through the google search widget

google voice never ever work on devices w/o sim card, but flashed with roms and mic files designed for devices that have simcard (reasons are far too long to discuss here....so accept it)
i mean u can never be able to have correctly working any mic applications on if you flash n8000 rom on a wifi only n8010/n8013....
so try to flash n8010/n8013 roms....
or there is another way...
u can struggle several weeks till you repair the issue and be happy that u had done it by yourself...

Nova launcher offers this.

That doesn't really make sense because if you click the search bar at the top left and then say 'ok Google' it works fine from there. It's just not always active like it is on my phone. Oh well I can put up with it as it is without any worries.
Thanks for your reply

Issues with GPS.. grrr..

I have a VZ GSIII and I love this phone more than my girl friend but Im very frustrated with the issue of my GPS not working. In Waze it shows "Cant locate GPS" and in google maps the same. I keep seeing the GPS icon at the top of my toolbar constantly searching. Regardless if the app is open or not (not working in the background).
I have tried now over 6 Rom's and having the same issue. Does any one have a solution? A good ROM or a fix?
I have tried so many things and they didn't work.
Try running the app gps fix from market...if that dont work you may have a hardware issue. My gps works flawless on most roms i have tried

Few questions, Was it always a problem? Was it just with JB ROMs or both ICS and JB ROMs? If it was when you switch to JB ROMs, typically a fix is to revert to an ICS ROM, get a GPS lock, and switch back to a JB ROM. But it could be a hardware issue too, try the GPS fix app like above poster said too before you through all the trouble, forgotten about that

ok well lets say I have an idea of what your asking but I dont.. Im sort of new to this so not exactly a pro.
I had my phone rooted then learned how to install different roms. I know I had a version of clean rom before and didn't have an issue with it. its only in the last 3 months.
Really the only reason I rooted my phone is to be able to use my phone as a global phone with different sim cards as I travel the world for a living
Any Ideas?

Which ROM are you currently on?
Sent from my Secret Base in Outer Space
I had that exact problem and when I used map quest it could locate me right away when Maps kept timing out and saying couldn't locate. What I did was go under settings and then accounts and select my gmail account and then location services and turn it on. For some odd reason it would never turn on until I did the above. Also if your on a different ROM instead of stock you need to go into location and select which GPS antennae to use which will always be internal. I got my GPS to work after that but it still took a long time to lock on my locations so I just finally Odined back to VRALHD and started over again and went through the unlocking steps and everything again and flashed a ROM. I still had to go into location services under my gmail account and turn it on but it locks almost immediately now.
Edit:
Also you may want to d/l GPS Test from the Play Store and step outside and see how many satellites your picking up and it can even clear and update your AGPS.

No problem, that's what these forums are for. :thumbup: and what ROM did you have before that? And I believe RLS6 is up already. So you can try flashing up to that to see if it fixes the problem, if not like I said before, I suggest you flash to a ICS ROM not permanently but just so you can grab a GPS lock, just make a nandroid of your current ROM so you can flash right back to it.

What I mean is when you flash to an ICS ROM, just go into the maps app it any app that requires a GPS lock and get a lock, if for some reason you can't get a lock, it could be your GPS died out which is possible. Also make sure you have everything checked in location sdevices when you go to do that.

[Q] Any word on screen capture/recording apps or any solution for it?

I recently ran into a thread here:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1tilcf/any_word_on_screen_capturerecording_apps_or_any
and unfortunately for me, I'm running 4.3 and adb shell didn't seem to recognize screenrecord command. I check the Play Store and all the apps seem to be useless since 4.1 (some updated only to 4.2 maybe) and newer phones since Galaxy S3, Note 2, etc.
So I was wondering if there is any news. Cheers!
(I'm a new user. Please tell me how this post was. Also, I noticed two minor bugs when posting. First bug is using "preview post" and the check on the checkbox for "Yes, this thread is a Question!" goes away even though [Q] stays in the Title and second bug(?) is having to retype CAPTCHA)
Hello there, regarding to your question, there really isnt a "good" capture or recording app for android yet. Most on the google play store are poor and scams. I suggest you do more research. There maybe one.

So you don't know if anyone's developing a decent recording software? I just tried a bit of SCR screen recorder but after one recording, my phone just crashes and it seems that I'm not alone in this looking at the reviews of screen recording apps. I didn't have such a problem when I was using 4.0... What changed?

Probably your phone crashed because of overload or poor ram management (screen recorders use a lot of ram) BTW what do you exactly mean by your phone crashed, did the application crash or the entire phone?

The entire phone, but my phone has problems. I've had a history of bad flashes (GS3 currently running Slim Bean with Cyanogen kernel). However, I've tried with Nexus 7 2013 as well and it's not working too pretty on that either (stock). As mentioned previously, if you look at the reviews in the screen recording apps, they will complain about the apps not working too well on 4.3 and 4.4. Slim Bean is 4.3 at the moment and I just can't wait to use 4.4's ADB screen capture. That would really solve a lot of things and really, no need for apps.

Maybe if your phone still has problems, you may want to flash the stock rom and start from there. (Often, the stock rom is the stablest) One more thing, is recording on your phone very important to you?

I'm not sure if it works on 4.3, so my suggestion might be entirely useless, but a friend of mine uses SCR Screen Recorder for his tutorials. The device we use runs 4.1.2, so like you said, it might not work. Figured I'd throw my .02 in.

I just gave up on custom ROMs and decided to just stick with the stock ROM instead. I'm just going to get rid of the TouchWiz UI. Neither Hyperdrive nor GPE 5.0 worked unfortunately. The GPE ended up with boot loops. Hyperdrive booted, but wifi + phone radio didn't work.
Recording on my phone is okay now, but I'm still looking for a good method for future reference. Well, recording was for my Galaxy S3 and I was trying to make S3 tutorials so it's far too late now. My problem with the ROM is S4, which is also somewhat dated, so recording isn't really necessary for it either. Thanks for asking.

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice
I present to you: my first ever XPosed Mod HiGoogle!
It's really my first original android app. The first one I didn't follow some sort of tutorial to make anyways. It opens Google Now natively when you say "Hi Galaxy" instead of the crappy S-Voice app. It took me forever to get this done, but in the end I learned a ton about how both Android and XPosed work. :good: So w00t for me, :good: chalk that one up as a personal accomplishment.
Anyways, it still needs S-Voice to run. S-Voice is what controls the always listening feature of the phone. in the future I plan on changing that, and perhaps changing the trigger phrase as well (fingers crossed!) So while we can't get rid of S-Voice yet, this removes the need to use a middle-man app like tasker to open it, which in the end, makes things a hair faster (and $6 cheaper.) I think we can all agree that faster is better.
So while it's not the perfect solution yet, it's a move in the right direction and hopefully more will come of it.
This has only been tested on 2 Notes so far, a T-Mo and a VZW, but it should work on any Samsung with 'Hi Galaxy" always listening support. I'm personally on version 11.2.2.0 of S-Voice but I'm not sure if that matters. Report any issues or and I will try to deal with them as fast as I can.
It's not my fault if you break stuff.

Does this close s-voice when it opens, then open voice search?

No, currently it just opens Google Now over SVoice, as SVoice is what controls the service that listens for commands. I'll look into that though it's a good idea, I may be able to kill the app but leave the service running.
oh so sad so so sad... i thougth you are a magician and managed to change the Voice recognition phrase...The developer Skilllevel for that is like getting knox from 0x1 to 0x0....from what i've heard
There are already apps for your purposes. I use S for Switch Voice
But thank you very much for your developing and sharing. :good:
Instead you maybe could try to get the "OK Google" command working for German and every other language. Because when google fails with recognition you have to grab your phone and tap on the mic button or wait until the screen shuts down. It is only possible when Google now language is english. This is something which really annoyes...

That all depends. I found some type of file that looks like it might be some kind of a raw audio or a wav file possibly. I'm digging deeper into Samsung's code whenever I have time trying to understand what's going on. I'm gonna have to keep studying before I can get to that point, but I think that will be part of the natural progression of the updates to this app. Has Chainfire done any work on this?

No not that i've heard of. Today i recognized that the "Google Now launcher" works with "OK Google" in german. So maybe you can find something when making a code comparison to use the OK Google command no matter how your phone and or googles now language is...

As of now, overhead.
This mod will rid you of one extra service running on your phone compared to those other apps. If all you want is Google Now instead of S-Voice then this is probably the better solution. If you want a bunch more options, use one of those other apps. I have more plans for the future but I was super excited to release my first contribution to the community :victory:
I think is a great idea. I for one have been using an app called S for Switch Voice that overrides SVoice and launches Google Now. It works great and dont have any problems and doesn't cause much or at the very least battery drain. But im willing to try this.

[Q] Google Now Launcher APK?

Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

Thanks for posting the suggestion. I'm using nova and thought I lost knock off completely. Still works in the notification area though.

OK Google.. with screen off.. A good feature that's Working :)

Honestly, I never thought ok google would work with screen off for non pixel devices... But it works for OP6.. Just tried it..
This helps in unlocking the phone will driving and directly making calls..

But it can be a pain if you have a Google Home as well; they fight to answer.

Hahaha.. Probable solution would be to use a pair of earphones with mic and whisper.. Okay google..
Thanks ! I never used Google Assistant, but I may try if it is so easy...provided the permanent listening does not eat battery ! By the way, any changes in battery drain when using this feature ?

Honestly, I never thought ok google would work with screen off for non pixel devices... But it works for OP6.. Just tried it..
This helps in unlocking the phone will driving and directly making calls..
Apologies if you already knew this before but it's kinda new for me.. Just thought of sharing this with anyone who is like me...

Ya Infact this is the 1st oneplus phone with ok google working with screen off
It's strange for me that this is news because I've been using custom romsnfor so long that had this implementated. It's a good feature
I think the idle drain will be about the higher than without it (this is what I have noticed) but it's not massive so definitely a recent trade off if you like the service. I have a few Google homes and they all pick up my voice but then it knows from which device to reply from based on what's nearest to you.
I've used this mainly for turning on Bluetooth and setting navigation whilst driving. Also asking questions whilst driving that I want the answer to.

I doubt if custom roms would make any difference. I have used oneplus 1 and op3 but none of the custom roms for these devices had this feature.. Interesting point you made about multiple Google homes devices and the nearest one reverts back.. Didn't know this..

thanks ! im contemplating between this and the pixel 2 xl and this is one of the features that stops me. Would be best if it has AOD as well!
If sommone Not Getting beep sound while assistant wakeups you need to enable Switch acess in accesability settings
Settings> andance> accesability >switchacess
