I thought the OnePlus was going to have touchless voice commands. I cant find it anywhere.
I saw in a video "hi snapdragon" but doesn't seem to work
it was removed in the last update.

Why was it removed? Is the feature coming back?
I know you can use 'OK Google' but there are problems with the mic volume, which can be fixed by editing a file, but it isn't a perfect fix. This has been patched in the latest update though, which should be pushed out shortly.
Also, OK Google doesn't seem to be listening everywhere even if it has been set to. I'm hoping they fix this as well.
it didnt work well and they are working on replacing the "hey snapdragon" with "ok oneplus".
Qualcomm was not satisfied with the quality of the pre-recordings that oneplus sent to them.

If you go in to the Google now settings and change the default languae to US you should then be able to activate 'Ok Google' from any screen includong the lock screen and while the device is in standby
I tried to activate this but does not seem to work from the lock screen for the oneplus one. I have 44S update I think but would really love to see this functionality coming back. I was quite impressed with my moto x primarily from this perspective and am looking forward to having this on my oneplusone device.
Any idea when it might come back?
TIA

It is very hard, nearly impossible to use the "OK, Google" voice action with the OnePlus one. It works in 1% of all attempts inside the Google NowaApp. No matter what I do. I tried is with a normal voice and shouting; with a big distance and a small one. I can't get it working.
It works perfect on my Nexus 5.
I tried a voice call to check if my mic is broken. But it works as expected.
It is even impossible for my to activate Google Nows "work everywhere" feature. It's impossible to trigger "OK Google" 3 times.
Any ideas?
I've got a similar problem.
It does work but the microphone is not very sensitive.
Have to a) hold it close to your mouth or b) talk loudly.
I expect future update will sort it.
I was having the same problem but followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fixed-microphone-ok-google-low-t2805568 to increase the mic sensitivity and it works fine now. Mine wasn't working at all before. A few people report force close issues so make sure you backup first. I have not had any problems though.

Hi i Have An Honor 6X With EMUI 5.0 And I Wanted To Enable Google Assistant On The Lock Screen But I Can Only Use It To Unlock The Device And Not Use It From The Lock Screen, So Is It Possible To Use It Without Unlocking The Phone
Did you tried to activate the "Ok Google" feature by Google settings? In this way you should be able to interact with it by simply pronouncing Ok Google nearby your phone

I can say Ok Google from any app but i want to use the Assistant on the lock screen without unlocking the device.
And i also had another problem with the Assistant, i have a pair of Aukey EP-B27 Bluetooth earphones and when i use the Assistant her sound is very bad but when i listen to music or watch videos the sound is very good, so what causes that ?

Don't know if it's possible, even with root privileges or Xposed modules (actually unofficial and unstable versions are available for Nougat, but i strongly suggest you to don't try those). At the moment, the maximum i could advise in my experience (i don't even use Assistant, i only use Now rarely) is going to Assistant settings -> Ok Google detection -> and turn on the "Trusted Voice" option to give to Assistant the permission to unlock the screen when Ok Google is heard. For your earphones, i don't use Bluetooth earphones so i couldn't provide a real feedback about. Maybe future Assistant versions would fix the issue; begin to warn Google about it by writing to them, in way that they could listen your problem.
Thats not possible. It may work in pixels just like Siri works but not sure if it will work on non pixel or other devices. Even not sure if it works on pixels. I am unable tp get it working on China variant so can't test this for you mate. For me it even doesn't work with unlocked screen. Have disabled the inbuilt voice assistant but still Google assistant doesn't work

You can say that bro
Has anybody had success with waking/unlocking your phone with the "Ok Google" voice command? I enjoy using it but I don't want to have to unlock my phone to use the voice assistant every time, particularly when it's for simple questions (I know, first world problems). I enabled Trusted Voice but that doesn't seem to work when my phone screen turns off. Any help would be appreciated.
Same here. I also tried to do that. Ultimately i came up with nothing.
same here man.
I can't recall the source, but I'd read somewhere it only wakes up to the Dear Honor voice command activated in settings. Seemed to work when I tested it. Also found an automate module that senses the honor voice app open, closes it and loads the Google one. It's pretty sluggish but that's the only workaround I was able to find.
The okay Google command only works with screen off on Nexus and Pixel devices. Honor has another command that you must use, but it doesn't tap into Google assistant.

Looks like it's been removed from the list. I went ahead and zipped a copy of the flow so I can upload it here.
@Puksom had said in another thread that he had OK Google working to wake up the phone, but I've heard from many others that it doesn't.
Hoping anyone running various versions of MIUI Global and/or Chinese can chime in if they have this feature working.
If it works for you, please let me know your build number. I can confirm it doesn't work on the latest Chinese stable, but, since I still have another couple days for bootloader unlock, I can't confirm much else.
Note that by OK Google wake-up, I mean with the screen off, and the phone unplugged.
By unlock, I mean that you set a PIN/Password, and that saying OK Google can bypass this lock screen if your voice matches.
(By the way, a somewhat difficult work-around for people who need this feature but can't get it working...)
You can set up, on the Chinese builds, a voice wake-up for the Chinese assistant.
Although you'll need to pronounce it well, you need to program the wake-up word, Xiao ai, by saying Xiao ai tong xue
Then saying "Xiao ai" can make the phone wake up... from there, you can say "OK google" and access assistant. But of course we all want to access assistant directly.
I have that working I'm on official Chinese rom with Google apps and services installed it works ok
I'm running Global Version (9.5.4), and it doesn't work.
When the screen is off, it's not listening. When the screen is on, on the lock screen, it activates, but it doesn't unlock the phone (there's no Trusted Voice), so you need to enter your PIN/pattern.
Trusted Places is not available either, so there is no way to have the phone unlock automatically except using a Mi Band or some other bluetooth device.
@funziebear What is working for you exactly? OK Google with screen off? Does it also unlock your phone automatically or do you have to enter your pattern/pin as well? I though no version of MIUI supported any of those features, based on what I have been able to dug up.
I'm also on the Global Rom and it does NOT work. As well as not having any face unlock options.
Very disappointing.
I'm on official chinese stable. Installed all Google Apps and gave full permissions and autostart permissions to all Google Apps. Installed Assistant and was even able to activate it properly with wake-up and trusted voice. But it's still not working. There was once a message from within the assistant, that said Xiao Ai is still the default assistant and Google Assistant is not set as default.
It's working with screen on, but not unlocking
It's not working with screen off

Are you sure? Can you say OK Google with the screen off, and it wakes up?
can you guys please figure this out definitively ? Cuz I'm willing to buy the phone, but i will not buy it if google's assistant isn't able to wake-up the phone. pretty please figure it out.
It currently does not work with the screen off.

within your helm of knowledge do you believe it's going to receive this feature in a near-future update?
Cuz I ran into this EXACT same issue with my Galaxy S7 and saw people with Galaxy S6 and S8 facing the same issue, all of them can wake-up the screen, even the word can be configured to whatever word the user wants as long as it is phonetically pronounceable in the 5 most common languages, but the catch is that it only works with Samsung Voice later renamed to Bixby. And I even tried running both Samsung and Google's assistants simultaneously, it doesn't work, they both compete for the exclusive use of the microphone so the idea of using one to wake-up the screen and the other to execute the command is not practical or viable since the second one will only have access to the microphone-audio-stream after the first one released it. So in the end I deactivated the ****ty Samsung Voice crap and decided to stay with Google's Assistant even though it does not wake-up the phone.
what a barbaric decision this is specially coming from Xiaomi. truly ****ed up
Any updates on this? I haven't tried newer MIUI 10 versions, wondering if they added support.

I take it nothing's changed with the more recent releases?
I tried the MIUI 10 Global Stable, and still no wake-up by voice.
I was able to use accessibility settings on my OG Pixel and Pixel 3 to enable a confirmation beep when Google Assistant has been activated (after I say "OK Google") but I can't seem to find a way to do that on my Pixel 7 Pro. Can anyone help?
You have to enable "switch access" in accessibility settings.

I've done this on my OG Pixel and Pixel 3 but it doesn't seem too be working on my Pixel 7 Pro.
I've done it twice now, first setup, and again after a factory reset. Worked both times. Strange.

Also here it is not working to enable switch access...
In Google Assistant settings through the Google app you go to accessibility and the options are there and working for me. Not sure if they've recently moved or been changed but I've never used whatever switch access is.
Can confirm that you have to have both of the settings enabled in the screenshot above in order to hear a beep. I don't even have voice active enabled.

Nobody's ever mentioned that setting before but I already had that enabled. I get a confirmation beep when I'm using Bluetooth or Android Auto but not when it's just my phone.
I screwed mine up recently. The above settings were set before, and I've gotten a beep since I got it. Post-screwup, I tried accessibility settings to no avail. Things that were changed beforehand (perhaps - new P7P and I've been both tinkering around and busy - plus I sometimes plug in a DAC and use Neutron Player, which is very possessive. So I can't recall when I noticed the lack of a beep precisely within a day's usage).
So, things that might have affected it:
I allowed Google Assistant to access my screen, and I enabled flash screen when it does so.
I upgraded from the December to January patch.
I upgraded, afterwards, with the small Play Store patch.
I enabled... what's it called - verbal shortcuts like "Answer" that don't require "Hey Google" first. <- Given that Google's reason for zapping the beep was to save response time, I'm suspicious of this, but I've changed quite a bit, so further testing is required.
I'll post if I get the beep back.
***What follows isn't necessary to the topic.***
It's daft that this is even an issue that can't be solved simply with a toggle. Or better, actually asking Assistant to reply when summoned with a beep or phrase, perhaps "Yes, Sir?" In an era with ChatGPT, we ought to be able to at least choose efficient or chummy. Google knows more about me than most friends, they could at least be friendly about it.
[I'm using an unlocked P7P from Google. I'm on Verizon with an eSIM. I have Assistant set so that it's constantly listening. And I've generally got things set to try out everything no matter how intrusive. Hey - it's the first phone I've actively chosen since my Note 4; I wanted to see what we've been given for all that's been taken away. I'm disappointed at all the features that ought to be helpful to my aged father, but are too difficult to use for someone intelligent that can't learn new things well. I'm also seeing just how vastly intrusive it is while saying, carefully, that it isn't. GrapheneOS may be in my future - perhaps because I simply can (goodbye forever, dedicated Verizon phones).]
Just tried Hey Google and ok Google. Both produced the same result, the Google Assistant pops up without a beep.
