Let's brainstorm! So my theory is definitely that Google turned that feature off server side. This is why factory resets change nothing. When Google services reads our phone it detects its a galaxy s6 and deactivate the service. Is there a way to trick Google services into thinking it's a note 4?
Thread moved to proper forum.
Round 1 goes to google! Changed the build prop to the vz note 4. Did nothing. Downgraded google. Nadda.
May I ask what you mean? OK Google works flawlessly on my phone.

Same here. Some settings were removed a few weeks ago, but I can OK Google from the homescreen, with apex at least, haven't tried the stock launcher but I assume it would function the same if not better.

Do you happen to be using two factor account authentication?
Tried clearing the app, reloading it, deactivating and re activating the phone\account via google voices web settings.
I am using two factor authentication as per a month ago. but if i recall correctly my google voice was still working with that enabled on my moto x before i got the nexus 5. I could be mistaken though. Anyone?
Mine originally was acting kind of funny upon first install - I uninstalled and re-installed it was fine.

If you're using a prepaid plan, I wonder if this is what you're running into:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/bPJ0u3fJiFo
Look about half-way down the page, it seems that some have needed to have T-Mobile disable their own voicemail in order to get GVoice to work. Maybe this is the answer, maybe not, but I saw it and thought it might help. If you got your Nexus through T-Mobile/postpaid, may not be the answer.
I seem to of found the problem. I was testing calls from my work phone, and they were all getting directed into the Spam folder. You cannot view the spam folder on the android app, however once i moved the calls\voicemails from the spam folder via the web interface, they all came flooding into my phone.

Actually yes, you can view the spam folder on the android app.
Gvoice>Click "Inbox" drop down on top of screen>Click 'Show all label'>Click "Spam"
I was noticed odd issues with Google Voice also. When I make a test call to my phone from my wife's phone and it actually calls me twice. Maybe someone else can help me confirm.. Call your phone from another phone and just let it keep ringing. See if it calls twice. Almost seems like its calling both primary and Google Voice #'s

Hi there,
I am from China and before getting my nexus 5 I owned a galaxy nexus, in which Google now works well just when phone is switched into En-US.
Now for nexus 5 this does not work.
someone uses a AT&T SIM card to enable google now.
some turns the phone into airplane model, turns off location and connects to VPN network to enable it.
Some says "Ok Google" then follow the instructions to enable it.
It seems that all these does not work for me, is there a easy way to enable Google now.
Regards

What worked for you? I had to uninstall Google search with titanium backup, install Google search 2.6, enable google now, then update to the latest version of search to have google now enabled in China. This is kind of annoying though as you can't flash otas if you do this because it modifies some system files. If you do my method you'll have to reflash the system image to update manually. So I'm wondering if you could share your method here.
Thanks!
sorry, I forgot posting, I just did the same as you did.

Confirmed this worked for me on my XT1085 China Moto X (2014) running 5.0.2.
n c
I was very keen to try this feature, so I updated the Google Search app to the latest one (3.5.14). Sadly, the feature has not yet provided to my google account, and so I wait.
But funny things happened this morning after I flash the developer version of Android L to my Nexus 5. There was an screen prompting me to say "OK Google" 3 times to activate Google Now on any screen. There were 3 options in my Google Now Voice settings: enable it from home screen, any screen, and lock screen.
I was indeed very surprised and delightful, however such a thing only last 3 minutes. It suddenly stopped. As for now I speak, 2 of those 3 options in voice settings are gone. However there is still an option to enable Audio History (image attached).
I'm guessing this is because the OK Google on any screen is location based and currently only works on several countries picked by Google itself. If that's the case I'm very certain the Americans will be the first. Can someone clarify?

It isn't regional. Its random Google Accounts.
I'm not sure, I'm in America and I had it working before and now it's not. Weird. I just tried again and I can't get it working. Maybe something on Google's end? I'm lost, too.

Well it's good to know it's not merely my fault. At first I began to think my voice is not qualified for activating Google Now lol.
It seems that currently we can only wait, let me know if yours works again

I had the same issue. I was on Android L and after about a day of using it, the options appeared. The text said "when screen is on OR charging" so I was curious to see if we could get always listening while charging. I put it on the charger and the options disappeared and never came back. I'm back on 4.4.4 and I still don't see it.
It's definitely server sider on Google's end. I too had it for a little bit, but it is now gone as well. Google is deploying it per account like they do with anything so it's not fully available yet and ready for use. Expect to see it enabled over the next few weeks.
There's already a fix! http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/29qya0/if_you_do_not_have_ok_google_everywhere_on_your/
Try it on, I got it working (for now, at least)

You can choose between English US / English UK in your phone for the watch language.

Google App broke it on the last update. You can check by uninstalling the Google App on the watch. It will uninstall the updates. Test to see if "OK Google" works.
I have same issue: ok google hotword is not working...tried changing language (i'm italian )resetting watch and also phone...downgrading google app, setting all authorization on...nothing worked...can someone help?
Smells like a temporary fix for the slowdown caused by ok Google, deactivate it ??
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google. After a reset it's possible but only for a few hours. Strange.
I had an update for Google few minutes ago. Try to install it and check it out later.
I just had a update on maps this morning and it works perfectly now!!! That used to be my only gripe with this phone aside from notifications. But since I got all my notifications to work now ,maps finally working makes this phone really great for my use!!!
What was the problem for Google maps? Mine worked perfectly since day one.

I received a update for maps and it just started working correctly. Didn't have to do anything
My Google maps is still not connecting to my car Bluetooth. What needs to be done. Has anyone facing the same problem. I got Huawei p20 pro.
You are the only one with Google maps problem?
Anyhow this is what the you need to do, first delete ALL you smartphones under Android Auto from your car system settings, from system settings also remove Bluetooth devices, now in your phone remove Android Auto, Reboot phone and re-install Android Auto and plug in to your car run setup
i dont know if this has already been answered but i have the android auto connected to my car so i can use google maps as a satnav through my car system and mid directions it will cut out and go to the home screen on the computer interface. when i click back on maps it continues my journey but whilst on the home screen no directions are read out. its super annoying and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
Hey guys! And what about Google Timeline? Does it work on your Huawei P20 Pro's? Cause I have a one which doesn't write a history of my positions, so my Google Timeline is empty? Does anyone know how to fix this?
