Are you on stock CM 11s?
If so the option should be there. You may have to set up google now first and I have read that some people have to scream at it for it to recognize.
However, I am on Crdroid 5.3 and Ok Google works just fine for me 90% of the time.

Yes stock cm11s. I do not use Google now, however on my n5 I didn't use it and could still say OK Google

[Q] Google Now Not Working??

Just got my nexus 5 and i dont see any settings for google now. i have tried using different accounts and clearing the data and cache also. Language is set to US english. Can someone shed some light on this? sorry if this has been covered in an other thread. couldn't find it here when i searched.
Thanks
My buddy had the same problem with his phone. I told him to factory restore and it worked right after that. He said he possibly skipped over something at the initial start up on the phone.

I have done a factory reset too. didn't solve the problem. when i clear data and cache and then access google search setting, for a brief moment the google now settings would be there and then they disappear and wont be seen.
Are you out of the us? I think it only works there.

You followed those steps exactly? Do you not get a screen asking you joing Google Now with an option saying YES I'M IN?
Sign out and sign back in then go to Google now. I had this happen when I first set up the phone.

I had this issue and realised that it was down to me not using WiFi during the initial setup on one of my nexus 5. For some reason it didn't ask me about Google now when using the mobile network to set up the phone.

yes i followed those steps to the letter. never got to the "yes i'm in" part. as i said before when i clear data in the google search app and then restart it, the settings showing google now and notification for google now appears for 2 or 3 seconds and then it go away. doesnt come back at all. dont know weather if this version of google search app thats the problem. there seem to be others experiencing the same thing on google products forum.
Longpress anywhere on homescreen -> settings -> language (or something) to toggle Google Now on and off.

I had this also but a reset solved the issue. Out if interest are you using a Google apps account or straight Gmail? Do you have another Gmail account to try it with?

That's what it looks when I longpress homescreen and go to settings.

I am using a gmail account. Haven't had this problem with it before. What's the difference between a gmail account and a Google apps account? Also I did try it with my work email which I think is a google apps account. And tried it with another gmail account too. Didn't work.
I have the same exact problem, I'm trying all the suggestions but no luck. On the first start it downloaded some 128MB update and then restarted, after that I ran through standard setup ,but no word about Google Now there.
I have the same problem...
google now works fine on my GNex and N7
Any solution?

Havent still found a solution to this. hoping to someone with more experience can shed some light on this problem. although it seems there is an update scheduled for google search on November 13th. maybe that will hopefully fix the issue.
Have the same problem here in Dubai with a Google Apps account.
Google Now was working on my S4 until fairly recently. Disappeared when I upgraded to 4.3 have not seen it since on my S4 and now the same issue on the Nexus 5. Symptoms exactly as you describe. Signing out and back in etc does not help.

if that app isnt compatible with the nexus 5 then it wont show up in the drop down.
Yes I can go to the play store using the Nexus 5 but sometimes I am web surfing come across a link and install the app from there, Yes I know if the app is not compatible it will not show the nexus , the issue has been fixed, The issue is going into the play store settings and the nexus 5 was not listed, it was yesterday and for some reason today disappeared, shortly after contacting Google and they offered some suggestions that did not work, but shortly after that I got the 4.4.2 update installed it rebooted the phone cleaned out the web browser history and now all is good the nexus shows up on the play store like before, something must of got messed up with the Nexus 5 and syncing or something but all is good now
Thanks to all for the suggestions.

[Q] Nexus 5 - LMT Problem after update.

After receiving my new Nexus 5,
I had a friend install LMT onto it, which worked perfectly and I was very happy with.
Then the newest Google update became available and I installed it, suddenly my LMT stopped working.
There are some times where a few of the parts of the Pie will work, but 90% of the time nothing works.
Has anyone had this problem or have a solution?
So you're on 4.4.2 now? May have to wait for LMT dev to update their app to work properly with the new version.
Yeah I am on 4.4.2
And thank you very much, any idea when that might come out?
I don't. I'd go on play store for lmt and see if there's any option to email the Dev directly.

Lmt is not in the play store but the current v2.0 version is working without problems on the n5 with 4.4.2.

it might need root for all the buttons to function and you might of lost it in the update. I'm only guessing as I always have root.

LanguageInput/Voice search/OK google detection
check all the 3 boxes and say ok google 3 times, click OK.
Just for info. After enabling OK Google everywhere you cannot record any sound using voice recorder as microphone stands by for any response from Google. There needs to be a kinda white list to exclude voice recorder. Maybe "ok Google for 3rd party activity" module (already available) be helpful in such case.
The problem that I don't have the 3 boxes I have only ok google from Google search app and I tried everything even ok google everywhere method ?
Your Google now hasn't been updated to latest version yet.

Sounds like you have the latest version. From what I understand, Google is activating ok google everywhere on an acct basis so that probably means you have not been selected yet. However, there is a workaround that you can try. Open the google now app and type in "ok google everywhere" on the search bar. This apparently activates it. Personally i haven't tried this method as i was activated before this workaround was posted.
Make sure you set language to English (US) in case you're using the UK version. Otherwise it doesn't work. Weirdly.

Try this, it worked with me:
1- Open google search app
2- type in : Okay Google Everywhere
3- Hit search
4- Hit menu key and choose settings, then choose voice, then choose OK Google word detection, you should find multiple options including "Ok google from any screen"
Best of luck

Ok I tried it but it didn't work even so I don't know what to do[emoji17]
I think there's a bug with the Google Search app, if you turn on the ok google on any screen the voice recorder app won't work ?

Guide to enable Google services on China variant AL00

Hi everyone,
I've been seeing many people having issues with installing Google framework on the AL00 variant.
The fact is that Google framework is already baked in and it is just a simple update to enable it.
1. Open app gallery and change country to China
2. Search for Google play store and click update
3. After update, click on open
4. The usual setup will appear
5. Done.
After the above steps, the majority of Google services and sync, etc should all be working.
* Update - OK Google does not work out of the box.
Have a good time with your new baby ?
Cheers!

I should say Google framework instead of services. I need to test out Google assistant as I don't use it but "OK Google" might not work at all due to Hivoice.
I'll update this thread to reflect more facts.
I just used the browser to look up "Google play store" and it gave me an option to download/update it, I've never opened the app gallery and everything works fine ??
I do the same? thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the suggestion above. I have legit fried my tiny brain on all aspects of getting google play to activate/update install what have you.
My location in the App Store ALREADY says China - and I am still unable to open or update the Google Play Store.
Any other suggestions? I am also unable to create a Huawei ID for the phone, it keeps saying "Restricted" and won't let me. Any work-arounds for this?
