I hear over and over how the Ok Snapdragon is more responsive and the phone seems to pick it up better from the lock screen. What I was hoping for when the CM12 5.0.2 came out with the Ok OnePlus that my voice would be able to unlock the phone. I still have to put my lock pattern in after I wake it with Ok OnePlus. That kind of defeats the purpose IMO.
Will Ok Snapdragon do this?
Probably not, as anyone could say "OK oneplus" or "OK Snapdragon" and unlock your phone. If you set a pattern, you'll always have to enter it whatsoever. The only way here is to remove the pattern on the lockscreen and any other security method. "OK Oneplus" will then unlock your phone

I guess I was under the impression that the technology allowed it to use my voice to unlock the device.
At least I can say 'Ok OnePlus' to activate the screen then say 'Ok Goggle' to do hands free searches or start a timer (which I use a lot)

NO, you are right, just disable ok, oneplus and then enable google now.
Connect your phone to power and say ok google, it will unlock itself.:highfive:
oneplus just simply sucks!! i purchased this phone for that feature only, never been able to use it.
never buy anything from them again.

so you are saying when connected to a power source it will unlock but when not connected it wont do it with the same voice command.
Not for nothing but why have a lock and then have it be disabled by a voice command. Its kind of counterproductive and see this as a feature and not a bug per se.

This is how google protects the moto phones with always listening feature.
There is a lof of phone out there with the same CPU meaning they are able to use this feature (like theOPO and many others) but google hardcoded so we cant use it when you unplug the device.
I know it sucks but its marketing...

I kinda agree with them and not have my phone unlock by voice. I getnit though if you wanna take that risk it should be on you
Recently after updating to Honor 5 I have been receiving this error whenever I try to use MIC on any app.
http://i.imgur.com/RSKzF3z.jpg
I searched it and I know that if I disable the optiong to "Ok Google" from anyscreen it will go away but I cannot believe that is the only option.
Has anyone found the same error or solution?
Is there any Huawei channel to submit this error?

I have the same issue, the only solution I have is to disable the ok Google option as you said.

I think problem should be addressed to Google first cause of Google now, or Huawei, second, cause the service is continuosly listening for "Ok google" activation, but it should stop or, better, stand-by, so the
microphone can be used by the concurrent app, when finished, service automatically restarted. This behaviour doesn't require any error or warning pop-up when happens.
Even I like to know, if anyone knows how to submit issues directly to Huawei/Honor.
Just started having the same issue with the latest Google app update, but I can't even disable the "Ok Google" detection. It just turns itself back on immediately. Here's a screencap of my dilemma:

@Xichael: Tap on "Delete Voice Model" and you can turn it off permanently. This is, as far as I know, the only way other than deleting / deactivating the Google App or possibly tweaking certain permissions. Once you delete the voice model, the "Ok Google" should still work within the app or when long pressing the home button.
@xghost1 Yes, deactivating "Ok Google" on any screen by deleting the voice model is so far the only solution that works permanently. There is currently no way to have "Ok Google" everywhere while also not getting that error message. We'll just have to wait for a fix. I think this only applies to the current "Google Assistant" though. It might be possible to go back to an older version of "Google Now" where "Ok Google" on any screen still works while not getting that error.
Thanks, that solves it for me. I can live without "Ok Google", but that popup was intolerable.

Remove your trained voice and then "Ok Google" detection on any screen will then turn off. That is the only way I found to disable it.

I was having similar problem and it's gone after i denied permission for microphone...before it was turning itself and made me crazy...I hope it will help You with this issue

Other Nougat phones with OK Google active don't have this issue. So I'd say Huawei would be the first to be addressed.
It's hard to know who to blame on this one. When Googling, it looks like it's only a problem on Huawei devices. That said, when I try to disable all-screen OK Google detection, the setting won't stick and always reverts. That sounds like a Google issue. I had to delete the voice model.
Likely it's some combination of both.
I called the service hotline last week and they said it was the update to Google app that was screwing things up. For me it was creating a toast message in my camera app when I would record video or use voice activated shutter control for still pictures. He told me to revoke permissions in the Google app for the microphone, or revert to an older version of the app. I'm assuming pre Google Assistant. I haven't tried that option yet.
Turning off all-screen 'OK Google' detection is likely the best option, especially because you can map your Smart Key to Voice Search and get nearly the same functionality. The only impaired function is if you hands-free dock in your car, but even then I rarely use Assistant anyway in that setting.
Thank you all for your comments and replies.
For your information I was receiving this error even without Google Assistant, since I was using my phone with Portuguese language. I tried to reset and changed it to English, now I have Google Assistante working but the error still remains. So like it was already mentioned my best gues is to associate the problem with Google App and Huawei Software.
To be sure it would be good if anyone could test the issue on a Custom Rom.
Thanks
Go into Playstore and chose to uninstal Google app. It will roll back to a version before Google Assistant and your phone will act as normal, you just don't have assistant. I even noticed an issue prior to this while using Shazam to identify a song I was listening to.
Background processes
"com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor" is a common Android process.
Huawei is at fault for this bug.
I can confirm only Huawei handsets are experiencing this annoying bug.
Huawei also has their own voice assisted application/processes I.e. Quick calling. If you disable all Huawei voice assisted features, this most likely will solve the problem as well.
It seems Huawei voice assisted processes and Google voice assisted processes cannot be active at the same time without the user seeing this message. If you prefer "Ok Google" and other Google voice assisted processes then try disabling Huawei voice software first.
Go to settings and search "voice" then select "voice control" turn off all Huawei voice assisted processes.
Hopefully this helps.
I guess if I want to disable OK Google and use Huawei's voice assistant instead, I can be away from the evil Google. But what does Huawei voice assistant do? I only found "find my phone" and very few other functions. While from what I heard, in China where Google services are totally disabled, Huawei's voice assistant can do a lot more things. Where are they?
Turning off the Huiwei voice facilities does not work. Still get same error.
To get rid of the box you have to turn off "ok Google" detection from any screen.
If it it turns itself back on (a Google bug) you have to delete the voice model.
To use the assistant you'll have to hold down the home button.
The interactor box is just another big of many that Huawei hasn't bothered patching. Huawei clearly doesn't care. Last time buying a device from them.

Yes. Get that you have to turn off OK Google.
The trouble is, I don't *want* to turn it off.
Very annoying bug for sure.

I totally agree, but that's what we get for giving Huawei money, clearly they don't care.
Maybe I am missing a setting somewhere or something, but the Google Assistant on my XZP only responds when the screen is on. I have it set to "any time" in the Assistant settings. Is this normal? I'm pretty sure it worked whenever (screen off/locked/charging/etc.) on my last couple of phones. I'd like it to at least work while the phone is charging.
Any ideas?
well yeah I had the same problem, apparently, Google changed the settings of the program, and it was only working while the phone is charging, so whenever u upgrade the application to its latest version you will lose this privilege. my advice and that's what I'm doing is to uninstall the updates from the google app and then give it all the permissions it needs and you will have it to work anytime the phone is charging no matter if the screen is on or off !!
btw my Google app version is 7.2.26.21.arm64
This is something that I absolutely hate about the Google assistant. Google should allow the assistant to be used regardless of the device being locked or charging like you can with Siri and Cortana (on WM). It's so irritating to have to actually turn my screen on to use the Google assistant.

Exactly. It's really pointless to have an assistant that requires me to interact with the phone. It's like Google doesn't understand what an assistant is for. I really wish they would also implement what Cortana does in terms of how she handles text messages when connected to Bluetooth devices. I love that she would ask if I want her to read it to me and then after reading it will ask me if I want to dictate a reply and send it.
Honestly, for some of the flak that I've seen Cortana getting lately, she's a much better and much more useful assistant than Google or Sri and she's probably the thing I miss the most from WM10.

It's not sure it's entirely Google's fault. It worked properly on previous android phones that I've owned.
I just noticed that it seems to work now with the Oreo update. My phone now wakes up and responds to "ok, Google" while the screen is off/locked. ?
This is by far the best part of the Oreo update. Google Assistant is at least 800x more useful now that it is actually hands-free.
Doesn't work wih mine. It blinks like I could say somehing, but stays closed. When I unlock it, nothing happens. My old phone then went into the assistant mode.
Which options do i have to set?
Has anybody had success with waking/unlocking your phone with the "Ok Google" voice command? I enjoy using it but I don't want to have to unlock my phone to use the voice assistant every time, particularly when it's for simple questions (I know, first world problems). I enabled Trusted Voice but that doesn't seem to work when my phone screen turns off. Any help would be appreciated.
Same here. I also tried to do that. Ultimately i came up with nothing.
same here man.
I can't recall the source, but I'd read somewhere it only wakes up to the Dear Honor voice command activated in settings. Seemed to work when I tested it. Also found an automate module that senses the honor voice app open, closes it and loads the Google one. It's pretty sluggish but that's the only workaround I was able to find.
The okay Google command only works with screen off on Nexus and Pixel devices. Honor has another command that you must use, but it doesn't tap into Google assistant.

Looks like it's been removed from the list. I went ahead and zipped a copy of the flow so I can upload it here.
@Puksom had said in another thread that he had OK Google working to wake up the phone, but I've heard from many others that it doesn't.
Hoping anyone running various versions of MIUI Global and/or Chinese can chime in if they have this feature working.
If it works for you, please let me know your build number. I can confirm it doesn't work on the latest Chinese stable, but, since I still have another couple days for bootloader unlock, I can't confirm much else.
Note that by OK Google wake-up, I mean with the screen off, and the phone unplugged.
By unlock, I mean that you set a PIN/Password, and that saying OK Google can bypass this lock screen if your voice matches.
(By the way, a somewhat difficult work-around for people who need this feature but can't get it working...)
You can set up, on the Chinese builds, a voice wake-up for the Chinese assistant.
Although you'll need to pronounce it well, you need to program the wake-up word, Xiao ai, by saying Xiao ai tong xue
Then saying "Xiao ai" can make the phone wake up... from there, you can say "OK google" and access assistant. But of course we all want to access assistant directly.
I have that working I'm on official Chinese rom with Google apps and services installed it works ok
I'm running Global Version (9.5.4), and it doesn't work.
When the screen is off, it's not listening. When the screen is on, on the lock screen, it activates, but it doesn't unlock the phone (there's no Trusted Voice), so you need to enter your PIN/pattern.
Trusted Places is not available either, so there is no way to have the phone unlock automatically except using a Mi Band or some other bluetooth device.
@funziebear What is working for you exactly? OK Google with screen off? Does it also unlock your phone automatically or do you have to enter your pattern/pin as well? I though no version of MIUI supported any of those features, based on what I have been able to dug up.
I'm also on the Global Rom and it does NOT work. As well as not having any face unlock options.
Very disappointing.
I'm on official chinese stable. Installed all Google Apps and gave full permissions and autostart permissions to all Google Apps. Installed Assistant and was even able to activate it properly with wake-up and trusted voice. But it's still not working. There was once a message from within the assistant, that said Xiao Ai is still the default assistant and Google Assistant is not set as default.
It's working with screen on, but not unlocking
It's not working with screen off

Are you sure? Can you say OK Google with the screen off, and it wakes up?
can you guys please figure this out definitively ? Cuz I'm willing to buy the phone, but i will not buy it if google's assistant isn't able to wake-up the phone. pretty please figure it out.
It currently does not work with the screen off.

within your helm of knowledge do you believe it's going to receive this feature in a near-future update?
Cuz I ran into this EXACT same issue with my Galaxy S7 and saw people with Galaxy S6 and S8 facing the same issue, all of them can wake-up the screen, even the word can be configured to whatever word the user wants as long as it is phonetically pronounceable in the 5 most common languages, but the catch is that it only works with Samsung Voice later renamed to Bixby. And I even tried running both Samsung and Google's assistants simultaneously, it doesn't work, they both compete for the exclusive use of the microphone so the idea of using one to wake-up the screen and the other to execute the command is not practical or viable since the second one will only have access to the microphone-audio-stream after the first one released it. So in the end I deactivated the ****ty Samsung Voice crap and decided to stay with Google's Assistant even though it does not wake-up the phone.
what a barbaric decision this is specially coming from Xiaomi. truly ****ed up
Any updates on this? I haven't tried newer MIUI 10 versions, wondering if they added support.
