So im trying out the new voice unlock, and basically when you use it to unlock from the lock screen it brings you to a blank "ok google" kind of search page, and you have to press out of it and it brings you back to the lock screen but the device is now unlocked. Any idea how to get it so I can say "ok google" and have it go straight to my home screen?

I am required to use a PIN lock due to our Exchange settings. I've been getting around that using Enhanced Email to bypass the PIN lock requirement. I prefer to use the stock client.
Can I get Voice Commands to still work without having to open and unlock the phone. With Siri, even with the phone locked, I can simply long press the home button, Siri will respond and I can tell it to "Call John" and it will make the call, without the phone being unlocked. This is incredibly useful while driving.
With the Nexus, it seems I would need to click on the "on" button on the right, unlock the phone by entering a PIN and then tell it to "Call John". Which is a three step process requiring me to look at the phone to enter the PIN.
Am I wrong about that?
If I'm not wrong, Google really needs to find a better balance between lock screen security and performing tasks and seeing notifications.
Anybody know why I can not get the wake up command to work?
I tried Google voice commands, work fine 100% of the time, but on the lock screen try the wake up command.... and nothing happens.
The mic should be working see it on the top right?
Think it may have something to do with S-Voice? but I can find no S-Voice settings or App.
Try double tapping the HOME button, then going into the menu and then settings.
Was going to say, done a few Google searches before I found S-Voice turns on when you double click the home button
Then I found the the reason the voice command did not work is the command is "Hi Galaxy", really this is not as stupid as it sounds the lock screen says swipe to up lock or say "Wake-Up" command..... so I am shouting at the stupid thing "WAKE UP", the command is "Hi Galaxy" like I should know.
I want to start google voice recognition if I press a hardware button when the phone is connected to bluetooth and the phone is in my pocket. The button on my car directly calls the contact and I don't want that. I wanted it to start google voice recognition which then listens from the car bluetooth mic, but I couldn't find a way to change this default behaviour of the bluetooth key.
Anyway, then I tried to start google voice recognition after pressing the power button of the phone and after the display is on with tasker, but it also doesn't work if I don't completely pass the lock screen even if the device is unlocked (lock is disabled because of secure bluetooth connection). I tried everything I found including disabling the keyguard, different google now intents but I couldn't find any solution. Ok Google command works even if the screen is off, but I couldn't find a way to start the voice recognition manually even when the display is on and not locked (but on lock screen). How can I do that from the lock screen with the device unlocked, or if I can't, how can I pass the lock screen and go to the home screen? By unlocked I mean that the phone does not require any password/pin to unlock it, just sliding on the lock screen is enough.
So, no way to start google now voice recognition when on the lock screen?

Yes.
I use pattern unlock to unlock my screen. I just upgraded to 6.0 and now I get a "Swipe screen to unlock" screen before I can input my pattern unlock (see attached screen shot). This swipe screen didn't appear on 5.1.1. This screen is very annoying. It is an extra step to unlock my phone. How do I get rid of this screen to access the pattern screen directly? I turned off Smart Lock.
I want answers to the same question. Its verkligen annoying with 2 screenlock.
Do anyone have a solution?
So I swear when I first received the phone and I said 'Ok Google' while the screen was off I could continue on asking any question I wanted.
But now with 'Ok Google' with screen off, it will bring up the assistant page, but instead of the wavy dots a mic will pop up and I either have to press it or repeat 'Ok Google'
If my screen is already on 'Ok Google' has no issues.
Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
Also with pin lockscreen do I ALWAYS have to press enter/ok after typing in my pin...?
thanks!
I can wake and unlock device with "Ok Google." I can see the wavy dots. I can still ask a question soon after phone wakes. I can only ask one question then have to say "Ok Google" again to ask a second question.
Is your setup stock? Remember when it changed?

My phone is stock (no root, locked bootloader) and I have the same issue.
If the phone has been left unused for a while it will take two "OK Google" to wake it and start assistant. If it's just been used and I pop it into standby it will usually start the first time (but sometimes takes two attempts). Screen on works straight away.

Well I figured it out in my case. I have an app that affects the screen off thing and I confirmed it.
This app, Fingerprint Gestures, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superthomaslab.fingerprintgestures
is the culprit for me!
So with Fingerprint Gestures (FG) enabled and screen off
'Ok Google' screen comes on to assistant page, no wavy dots, but a mic shows up
'OK Google' 2nd time, wavy dots
FG off and screen off
'Ok Google' screen comes on to assitant page WITH wavy dots and i can do voice commands
So now i need to decide if I really want that screen off with FG haha
Good intel. Thanks.

Well, it's early days so far, but I had my voice language set to UK (as I am British), changing it back to the default (US) seems to have made it a ton more responsive.
Now it will pick up an OK google and unlock the phone consistently and from much further away than when set to UK. This is how I remember the phone being when I first booted it. Will report back once I've had longer to test with the language set to US.
