Is anybody else having problems with doing voice commands on the lockscreen since the last Google app update? It'll register the voice command, but won't start the activity until I actually unlock my phone. For example, if I ask it to play a song, it'll register it, but nothing happens until I unlock my phone. It will briefly have a white screen that says "Google App" at the top, and then it'll jump to the music app to play my song. It also does this when using voice commands with the screen off and charging.
I'm on Cloudy 1.2, and was having the same problem on Darkwulf Beta. Both Kit Kat ROMs.
Does your phone have a lock on it? It could be interfering with google now.
Nope, just the swipe unlock. No password, pin lock, or knock code.
So nobody else has had this issue? I still can't figure it out. I've gone through all my settings, disabled Xposed, and looked at any other apps that might be interfering, and I'm still coming up empty.
I have this problem also!
I tried to find a solution but all I got was people saying that is how the lock screen is intended to work... Anyone know of a fix?
I'm running stock 5.1 but I first noticed this on 5.0.1

I have two problems:
a) i get bug-reports out of nowhere from time to time. No problem with any apps, everything works fine, but then i get a bugreport-notification that i can send via email or something else. I think i found out how to disable this, i turned on and off the debugging feature. But i never used this before, so why did this happen?
b) sometimes on my homescreen i can't do anything because the google now bar is activated. I have to touch the bar on the bottom and sometimes even have to open google now to use my homescreen again. I already disabled the google now shortcut with an app from the store, but this does not helf, the spotted ring is still coming up. Any help? Maybe a problem with my screen or with my display-foil?
Just started having this issue today. Previously I was able to say OK Google anytime the device was on. Now it seems that I have to actually open up the Google app to get OK Google to work. Anyone else have this issue? Resolutions?
Same issue

I can't use OK Google, and OTA doesn't work because the OTA process detects that I'm rooted, and tells it tells me No Update for you. Why does Samsung always have to make things more difficult than they should be?

The same thing happened to me. Though my situation was a bit weirder. I got it to work this morning (about an hour ago), then 5 minutes later, it wouldn't and the setting to use it from any screen disappeared.
I'm having the same issue.
My "OK Google" detection from any screen option disappeared.
same here
option is gone
only work if i have the widget on home screen
Weird, I keep seeing this issue pop up in several threads. Mine works just fine. For what it's worth, I'm on the latest OTA and rooted, using Nova Launcher.
Same here. I have even tried it the first time with the lock screen, but now I can only use it with the screen on. Options for screen off have dissapeared
I just updated my google play services to this one

installed the apk, now my google detection from any screen is gone now to , might have to do with this version of the play services.

anyone here experiencing the same or find a solution?
My buddy is also experiencing this. None of the potential fixes he found worked. Reverting to old versions, clearing data, or enabling "Enhanced" voice support didn't fix it.
I've seen some people mention Google disabled the feature due to the phone picking up excess background noise and interpreting it as "Ok Google."
Gone for me too.
Weirder still (and completely infuriating), that option is gone, but I now have "trusted voice" under smart lock, but of course no ability to use it.
Yeah.. why wouldn't google or samsung communicate what they did and what they will do about it... hmmmm
Ok Google missing
I wonder if it has anything to do with Samsung's S-voice being able to open the phone from a "screen off" position?
Maybe Samsung and Google fighting it out?
Just resurrecting this to see if anybody knows of any updated info on this?? I really miss this.
It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
I can confirm it is back up and running look likes it was a conflict with Samsung voice...
My google now from any screen no longer works as well

Mine just showed back up in the settings, but if it's not showing up simply go uninstall the updates then update them manually from the store... [emoji106]
Prior to 5.1.1, every time the phone was idle for a short period of time the lock screen would appear and, when I was home, SmartLock left it unlocked, most of the time, but it always appeared. Since upgrading to 5.1.1, the lock screen rarely appears anymore and, when I’m away from home, since the lock screen rarely appears anymore, my phone is often unlocked and unlocked without a lock screen and having my phone unlocked is a big security issue . I don’t know if this is related to 5.1.1 or, perhaps, a recent Google Play Services update (since Google Play Services is responsible for so many things nowadays, I assume it’s suspect).
Anyone else have this issue/know of a possible fix? Thanks.
Bump. Is no one else having this issue? The lock screen for everyone works perfectly on 5.1.1?
Yes, since 2 weeks ago. Any solution?
None that I know of—I still have the problem.
Just chiming in to say this issue appears to be largely resolved since Android 6.0.

Resolved? Apparently not that largely. Such issue started 24 hours ago on my 6.0.1 device. Unable to lock screen despite pattern (or whatever chosen) is correctly set. No "smart lock" option is used, BTW; Though lock screen often appears but only when shutting down and restart the phone, not by rebooting it. Looked exhaustively for a common fix, but everyone suggests the same old, clear caches, credentials and device administrator thing.That is NOT working here. Safe mode says nothing's wrong with apps causing the flaw either. Yes, I'm rooted, on Xposed and all that stuff, as always. Probably it is related somehow; however, issue has never ever showed on any other device I had, and I had two previous on 6.0.1 as well. If anyone has a different hint on the subject, well it'll be well appreciated.

I'm having an issue getting into my lock screen and security settings. Every time I try to open it, it crashes. I can get into every other setting besides lock screen and security. Also can't use the search feature without it crashing. Galaxy S8+here. Anyone know a work around without having to factory reset my device?

strange,
please give more details
I'm having the exact same problem on my s8+. Cannot use search function in settings menu or settings just crashes. Only discovered today actually, that I can't access lock screen and security now. Clicking on lock screen and security causes settings to crash. Have you been able to fix this? I really don't want to have to do a reset.
try safe mode so you can find out if it is caused by an app
If you forgot the login password , you can not access your phone
I'm having the exact same problem. Only noticed after installing bixby and it recommending setting up smart lock from the lock screen and then not being able to get in to the settings. Was working fine when I used it just a couple days ago, not sure if bixby has anything to do with it but have tried wiping cache and safe mode with no luck?
Edit: so just after getting a new firmware update the problem seems to be fixed. Not sure if this was an actual issue with the old firmware or any update would have fixed it.

So this has actually happened to me 2x. It's effecting my phone currently. The first time it just kinda fixed itself after an update thru T-Mobile. Sucks. Can't use Google Maps or Inbox at all either. So frustrating.
My settings crashes when I go to set "Emergency Alerts" and the Advanced settings in Mobile Hotspot. Wiping cache doesn't help. Anyone else have this happen?
