The title says it all. It is grayed out whether custom choice wake up is selected or not.
Go to the Google menu km the Settings, from there "search and now" and enable what you need.
Thanks for the advice but that option is grayed out. ""Ok Google" detction" Under "Search & Now". I will post a screenshot later on.
Try cleaning the data of the google app, then uninstall and reinstall.
As far as I know, OK Google works from the app or google launcher home screen
This is what it looks like. I tried clearing cache and data. I will now try uninstalling the updates.
Edit: I cannot uninstall or disable the Google app. What gives? I want to avoid factory reset if possible.
Look for permissions given to the google app, enable mic if disabled and try google now launcher
Thank you for the advice. I was able to get the "OK Google" command to work. The option is still grayed out in the setting, but I did it via Google Play app. It is an odd bug (if it is). Maybe it has to do with Huawei's voice command option (that wakes up the phone)?
It can, since EMUI is kinda aggressive with apps

Not sure exactly where to post this? In the Google Play store settings I have the auto update disabled but whenever I reboot if there is a update for a app it will automatically download and install. How do I stop this?

If you unchecked the Auto update setting how could the apps update automatically. Ok check it like this: tap the 3 dots in the right top corner and go to settings. Check if you have ticked "Auto update apps" or "Update over WfiFi only" options.
If this doesn't work then tell me. I'll suggest you something else.
There's a specific toggle for individual apps to allow them to auto-update, too. Might check that as well. If that doesn't work, try clearing the Play Store's data (wiping all preferences), open up the Play Store, and then wait a while (up to a few days, depending on what number of apps you have installed and how active their developers are ) and see what happens.

The only options I have checked are the notification of apps and games I have downloaded and the Google Admob. As for the individual apps I never check the automatic update box. I will try the other suggestions made by others here. Thanks everyone
I have a rooted AT&T S6 and was using Tasker normally, but I decided to clean up/freeze some more system apps, and then I ran into a problem. For some reason, accessibility settings for Tasker become disabled and when I tried to re-enable them, I was prompted with this error message: "Error: "Turn on universal switch. Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text-to-speech language will be set to null, but this might cause unexpected behavior". After hitting "Ok", it would say settings has crashed.
I fixed this by unfreezing Samsung text-to-speech engine. Afterwards, the message about Universal Switch never came up again. This is just an FYI if anyone suddenly runs into problems and cannot enable any accessibility settings due to settings has crashed.
Pics below.
thanks bro you were life saver, in my case i had to turn on (enable) google text to speech i was getting this error while turning on greenify from accessibility
Sorry for this stupid question but how did you do this? I am facing the same problem but I can't figure out how to disable, freeze, whatever text to speech!
Great post. Very very helpfull. I'm very grateful for it!
Thanks for this bro, its really help me
Thank You!!
I used EZ Disabler to disable text-to-speech. Re-enabling this solved this problem. Thanks again.

For some reason i cannot find Samsung text-to-speech engine and i have enabled show system apps. I have this problem and i cannot use LastPass because of it (and i bought it to be used in my phone). Anyone has any other ideas?
I found a fix

To get rid of the Universal Switch Prompt:
1. Go to Settings > Language and input > Text-to-speech options
2. Enable "Google Text-to-speech Engine"
it should work from there :good:
Install google text to speech from play store
Enable google tts in accessibility option in vision text to speech and your problem will be solved

I tried that but it takes forever to load so I can never click the Google TTS or Samsung TTS.

Edit: I installed an aroma package in xtresolite and the accessibility functions option and it fixed it. Nice.

New tip
I had the same problem, but i was perplexed on how to turn off/on the Text-to-speech engine...after searching for long, i found out that Google TTS wasn't even on my phone...i downloaded it and turned it on from my settings(mine was in accessibility settings) and everything started working again
I had same problem with S8 today with same problem. I can't believe this fixed that. Stupid samsung. Thanks a lot
Ok So pretty simple request. I want to activate "Ok Google" using the home button just like S Voice or Siri behaves. With Google set as the Device Assistance App a long press of the home button pulls up the google app, then I have to click the mic button. Or I have to activate it by saying "Ok Google" which is super annoying. I've searched everywhere for a solution and the only thing I found was the following:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...t_possible_to_activate_ok_google_with_a_home/
Which doesn't work at all on the S7. A long press of the home button opens the Launcher App which asks me to select google. Basically adding a 3rd step.
I'd appreciate any help!
I use the Google Now Launcher and I had that ability. I will have to play around with my settings to get it back because I installed Labs so when I hold my home button down it waits for me to say a contact name and it calls them. I will have to get back with you on that when I can get access to my phone.
Ok, maybe the new version of the launcher doesn't support that. Now long press doesn't do voice search, it instead shows Now on Tap, but different than what I remember.

Yup.. I still haven't found a workaround. Having the mic always on to detect "OK Google" seems to be a waste of battery.
Hopefully a solution comes up. Thanks for trying.

I have found a solution that works great! I just tested it myself.
Download this app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher&hl=en
You'll want to open it up, select the 3 dots, and then select add.
Add Voice Search, then do the same steps but remove whatever else was there by default.
Now if you're on marshmallow, which I assume you are, then you'll need to go to Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Phone assistance app
And change it to Home Launcher
Give that a try and let me know if that works for you.

You are the man!!!! This worked.. "Auto Start mode" had to also be selected but this finally got the job done.
It wasn't perfect at first. for some reason the responses to my questions where not audible.
For Example.. If I held the home button, the voice prompt shows up and I say "What's my next appointment?". It displayed the calendar item but didn't read back the result. If I activated it saying "OK Google" and asked the same question, I was shown the response and it read back to me. "You're next calendar entry is tomorrow at 7am...".
I tried it again a few more times. Now it seems to be working properly with the home button.
You've made my day. Wish I could buy you a pint of beer remotely.
Cheers!
A simple thanks is plenty, I've got all the beer I need in my fridge. Lol
Was looking for a solution as well. Works great. Thanks.
I can't find a way to enable Ok Google command while the screen is turned off. Does that mean this option isn't avaiable on the Galaxy A8? That would be a huge bummer. Also, they decided to only include a few parts of Bixby, basically rendering it useless.

Not available
Ok Google is not even working when the screen is on. I was asked to train the phone to recognize my voice (which I did) but, now the Voice Match option is greyed out in Google app settings. I tried everything, I cleared the cache of Google app, I tried using Nova Launcher instead of the default launcher, I tried restarting the phone. That's another bummer.

Hi
I need to change my default digital assistant from Google to say alexa or something else..I go through the settings... Apps / default apps then change it to something else or even none..but after some time it automatically changes back to Google.. Talked to a particular app developer about it..he said it's coz of android 11.. Is there any way out of this?
Disable it in Gookill settings...
Tried turning off google assistant from google settings but it reverts back to google assistant after 5 mins or so.
Not sure what it runs as. I don't have it directly disabled.
I do have Google Quick search package disabled.
Turn off voice assistant etc.
Go through all the Google settings, it's a mess and there are many. The online ones too.
It may be hidden in weird places like keyboard settings
