So it's happened 2-3 times now since I got the phone...all of the sudden voice input stops working. I can no-longer say OK Google to open it up, and even if I open it manually and hit the search button, it doesn't record any voice at all.
The weird thing is, I can still use voice input in any keyboard location (like in SMS or Chrome), but the basic functionality doesn't work.
Anyone else have this happen?
did you by any chance use third party launcher?

Nope, stock launcher. All options for Google Now are enabled, and it works great 90% of the time, but then it just...stops. Only way to get it working again is a restart.
Hi there. I also have this problem. I have narrowed it down to MX player or chrome video player (also same issue with headphones + video). When you play a few movies and exit MX player, "OK Google" will not respond to voice commands. The only fix is to reboot your phone. I have tested this today. I played a few movies after i made sure "OK Google" was working fine and sure enough, the feature stopped working immediately after i played a couple of movies. Sometimes it will not get affected, but most of the time MX player or the integrated Chrome video player will break this function. I would like someone else to confirm this, thanks.
ps; Just tested my theory again after a phone reboot and now it seems to work fine... I have no idea wtf is going on with this feature, but when it breaks, even the search bar stops working. The whole thing just stops functioning - speech , search just stops working.

Sort of. I've had a few things happen like this in the past, and I've realized there's always been a reason (sometimes it's changing settings in Android Wear that pertain to Voice support, sometimes it's switching the voice stuff on on my iPhone 6, sometimes it's changing my Google password, etc...).
The way I've always been able to fix it is just to log out of Google Now and log back in. It says it'll lose things, but it doesn't at all. Takes ~15 seconds, and it's always fixed all of my voice issues, including the one listed above and the other one where it recognizes everything and opens the Google Search...but then everything is blank.
hey, thx i got google voice input working on apps and saying ok goole works but voice input isn't working when i'm in the search bar strange haha
UPDATE: try flashing another Official Rom, gd luck
Seeing as the OK Google from any screen is not currently working I have been trying to find a way to wake the device using S voice and having Tasker kill S voice and open Voice Search. I am a Tasker novice and am looking to see if anyone has any ideas. I am currently unrooted which I think may be why it is so unreliable.
I have made a profile that when S voice opens it is killed and Voice Search is opened. I also tried it with the Voice Input service opened. It works occasionally, maybe 1/10 times.
Any input is welcomed.

I got OK google back after disabling anything to do with S Voice. I put the Google search widget on the top of each screen and now get OK google from every screen
As said in another post you can start Google now with s-voice without the need of tasker.
As S-Voice allows you to say something without waiting for it to listen you can say "<wakeupcommand> Start Google". I'm for example using "Galaxy Start Google". According to someone else you can also say "Galaxy Voice Search".
Both are starting Google Now and will listen to your voice without any button presses and even when the phone is locked.

Confirmed the galaxy voice search command works.
This is a great alternative until okay Google gets fixed. thank you so much!
Hello guys,
I'm back with another headache. Whenever I make audio/video call with whatsapp or during screen-capture etc, I get this notification pop up from the bottom of the screen as shown with the images attached.
How do I disable them please?
Thank you.

So no Google voice for me?
I had this issue but with my camera. The You can still use Google now/assistant. I cleared data for Google now/home/assistant, play store and services, and it worked again.

Yeah I don't want to disable Google voice.. any method to disable the warning without disabling google voice?
with the latest Alexia update this has been fixed "_
Recently after updating to Honor 5 I have been receiving this error whenever I try to use MIC on any app.
http://i.imgur.com/RSKzF3z.jpg
I searched it and I know that if I disable the optiong to "Ok Google" from anyscreen it will go away but I cannot believe that is the only option.
Has anyone found the same error or solution?
Is there any Huawei channel to submit this error?

I have the same issue, the only solution I have is to disable the ok Google option as you said.

I think problem should be addressed to Google first cause of Google now, or Huawei, second, cause the service is continuosly listening for "Ok google" activation, but it should stop or, better, stand-by, so the
microphone can be used by the concurrent app, when finished, service automatically restarted. This behaviour doesn't require any error or warning pop-up when happens.
Even I like to know, if anyone knows how to submit issues directly to Huawei/Honor.
Just started having the same issue with the latest Google app update, but I can't even disable the "Ok Google" detection. It just turns itself back on immediately. Here's a screencap of my dilemma:
https://gfycat.com/FancyTepidHornedviper
@Xichael: Tap on "Delete Voice Model" and you can turn it off permanently. This is, as far as I know, the only way other than deleting / deactivating the Google App or possibly tweaking certain permissions. Once you delete the voice model, the "Ok Google" should still work within the app or when long pressing the home button.
@xghost1 Yes, deactivating "Ok Google" on any screen by deleting the voice model is so far the only solution that works permanently. There is currently no way to have "Ok Google" everywhere while also not getting that error message. We'll just have to wait for a fix. I think this only applies to the current "Google Assistant" though. It might be possible to go back to an older version of "Google Now" where "Ok Google" on any screen still works while not getting that error.
Thanks, that solves it for me. I can live without "Ok Google", but that popup was intolerable.

Remove your trained voice and then "Ok Google" detection on any screen will then turn off. That is the only way I found to disable it.

Other Nougat phones with OK Google active don't have this issue. So I'd say Huawei would be the first to be addressed.
It's hard to know who to blame on this one. When Googling, it looks like it's only a problem on Huawei devices. That said, when I try to disable all-screen OK Google detection, the setting won't stick and always reverts. That sounds like a Google issue. I had to delete the voice model.
Likely it's some combination of both.
I called the service hotline last week and they said it was the update to Google app that was screwing things up. For me it was creating a toast message in my camera app when I would record video or use voice activated shutter control for still pictures. He told me to revoke permissions in the Google app for the microphone, or revert to an older version of the app. I'm assuming pre Google Assistant. I haven't tried that option yet.
Turning off all-screen 'OK Google' detection is likely the best option, especially because you can map your Smart Key to Voice Search and get nearly the same functionality. The only impaired function is if you hands-free dock in your car, but even then I rarely use Assistant anyway in that setting.
Thank you all for your comments and replies.
For your information I was receiving this error even without Google Assistant, since I was using my phone with Portuguese language. I tried to reset and changed it to English, now I have Google Assistante working but the error still remains. So like it was already mentioned my best gues is to associate the problem with Google App and Huawei Software.
To be sure it would be good if anyone could test the issue on a Custom Rom.
Thanks
Go into Playstore and chose to uninstal Google app. It will roll back to a version before Google Assistant and your phone will act as normal, you just don't have assistant. I even noticed an issue prior to this while using Shazam to identify a song I was listening to.
Background processes
"com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor" is a common Android process.
Huawei is at fault for this bug.
I can confirm only Huawei handsets are experiencing this annoying bug.
Huawei also has their own voice assisted application/processes I.e. Quick calling. If you disable all Huawei voice assisted features, this most likely will solve the problem as well.
It seems Huawei voice assisted processes and Google voice assisted processes cannot be active at the same time without the user seeing this message. If you prefer "Ok Google" and other Google voice assisted processes then try disabling Huawei voice software first.
Go to settings and search "voice" then select "voice control" turn off all Huawei voice assisted processes.
Hopefully this helps.
I guess if I want to disable OK Google and use Huawei's voice assistant instead, I can be away from the evil Google. But what does Huawei voice assistant do? I only found "find my phone" and very few other functions. While from what I heard, in China where Google services are totally disabled, Huawei's voice assistant can do a lot more things. Where are they?
Turning off the Huiwei voice facilities does not work. Still get same error.
To get rid of the box you have to turn off "ok Google" detection from any screen.
If it it turns itself back on (a Google bug) you have to delete the voice model.
To use the assistant you'll have to hold down the home button.
The interactor box is just another big of many that Huawei hasn't bothered patching. Huawei clearly doesn't care. Last time buying a device from them.

Yes. Get that you have to turn off OK Google.
The trouble is, I don't *want* to turn it off.
Very annoying bug for sure.

I totally agree, but that's what we get for giving Huawei money, clearly they don't care.
Any time I use an app that uses audio, Google freaks out and gives me a little box saying that Google is recording audio. You can't interact with any portion of the screen while this is happening.
I used to be able to wade through going into the setting menus and turn off "OK google from anywhere" detection, which I also don't want to do, but now I can't even do that. It just turns itself back on after the recent Google app update. In my case, I don't even have "Ok Google" enabled, but still when I say "Ok Google", the phone responds with a vibration. So, it seems Google is listening and recording my voice all the time... Scary! How to remove the little box at the first place? And any way to disable Google's recording behavior?

If you want to get rid of google listening, just go to apps in settings, google app, uncheck mic.

Ok, I am disabling that. Hopefully there is no side effect for other things. Thanks.
PS: I disabled body sensor permission to Google App as it used a lot of battery, then Android Pay cannot work. Mic might be different.
