Have anyone experienced, that the microphone of "OK Google" shows on screen, when you unlock, like someone said OK Google, i keep thinking my phone uses a lot of battery on listening in on the conversation.
A second note, my dog barking can even make OK Google react, that is so weird , anyone else on that topic having dog barking making Google assistant open?
I could even replicate the problem, making my dog bark, and it opened, and waited for a command So im not kidding.
Maybe my first question has the answer in my second question, that it hear my dog barking, and when i unlock, my dog activated this screen ;(
Do you have the Google Search bar active on your homescreen? Try to remove it. I know that this is what keeps the ok google on at all times.

**My last thread got closed, should've read the rules, here goes a second try.**
One day when I was jogging, a little girl that looked scared and confused approached me. She couldn't find her mother and she asked if she could use my phone to call her. I thought to myself 'Sure, I'm helpful.' When I was waiting for her to finish her phone call, I noticed that she was swiping her finger on the screen. I was thinking to myself, 'Why does she need to scroll during a phone call?' I took my phone back and lo and behold, she was going through my pictures. I reprimanded her, telling her that she shouldn't be going through other's phones like that. I felt real bad that I had to take my phone back before she could find her mother, but what else was I supposed to do? It's not like there's an app that can do that.
That's when Avanos was born.
It's a simple phone dialer that locks the user in it so that no other app can be opened, fullscreen so that the notification bar cannot be accessed, It even closes the long home press automatically. It operates just like the built in dialer. After the person hangs up, it opens a password prompt that unlocks the phone and makes it go back to normal when the correct password is entered. I honestly think this is a revolution in Android. It can be helpful to coaches when kids that don't have phones need to call their parents, nice people who gives their phone out to others frequently, or as an everyday emergency phone.
So tell me what you guys think; I need the feedback.
Here's a link if you want to try it out, I don't know if it works for rooted phones. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mshaw.avanos8.lite
I have an LG G4 and I'd mainly like to be able to double tap a volume key while my phone is in the holster and then via blue tooth headset make phone calls and create and read SMS. I don't want to use gestures or voice commands to initiate my interaction. I just feel they drain your battery way too much. Even shaking means the sensors are constantly being monitored. I just want to double tap the buttons to activate, even if that means using multiple apps to take control of those functions. I'm just a minimalist when it comes to things that are constantly eating CPU cycles and such.
I don't really need to do anything with movies or trivia... I mean a google search here or there would be nice. Maybe tell it to launch a maps program or something wouldn't be bad.
I really just mainly want to make phone calls and create and read text messages so I can do these things hands free. I'd like to do this for driving as well as I'm a bee keeper and it would be very convenient to do these things fairly hands free while I've got my hands in the bees.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing people's opinions,

You can use Google App

I was going to do that... I just didn't want to activate something that was too intensive and not be able to really shut it down. You know how they are, they seem to take over and never stop running once you activate them.
Everything I kept reading about Google was how it can help you watch TV and other crazy things that I can't see how anyone would need a voice assistant to do.
I mean, why do they have 3rd party apps if Google can "do it all"?

There is another virtual assistant developing silently, called VVA I think )). It can do everything you ask and no background running and battery consuming
Not sure when will it release
BTW have u try cortana for Android? It's pretty cool
And sorry for my bad English though
A few days ago I suddenly started experiencing this. After I give an OK Google command, the first line back from Google is not audible. For example, if I say "send a text message to Bob", the phone does not say "what would you like the message to say" or whatever. It will listen for my input, but I can never hear the first line from Google. If I wait, then it will say "you can say change message, cancel" or whatever.
Another example: If I say "remind me to take out the trash when I get home", Google will NOT say "do you want to save this reminder" or whatever like it always had before. It's just silent. But if I say "yes" Google will say "reminder saved".
Google will say anything after the first line, it's just the first line that does not come through. This seems consistent not matter what I'm doing. Anyone else?
I posted this elsewhere and others reported the same issue. They also had Verizon Galaxy S6.
I really hate doing a factory reset every time some bug like this comes up. Any other option?
I can't even set it up. I open the Google ap p and get a white screen
First let me say, I have an Amazon Dot, and I love it. From playlists to appointments, trivia questions and timers, its great.
But on the phone it is driving me nuts.
For the Dot to work, I quite clearly have to say 'Alexa.' Then it works perfect;y. The phone on the other hand responds to, well I don't know what? If the TV is on and someone says, 'exactly'it opens. But 99% of the time I have no idea what it responded to. It comes on about 15 times a day to no really recognisable 'Alexa' command.
Anyone else?
works great on my smart lights

Yes I have seen that too , it isn't as helpful as assistant by Google
I have had Alexa pop up for no apparent reason too. (And on a few occassions, NOT pop up to "Alexa")
Seems strange that there's no Voice Training for it (unless I'm missing it?)
Anyway, the funniest one happened today: I sneezed - and boom - Alexa
Yep turned her off on the U11. Never worked correctly compared to the dot.
The only thing I don't like is everytime the Alexa commercial comes on the TV those 2 idiots keep making it pop up and I'm 25 feet away in my living room lol.

Hi guys,
I have Alexa switched off but on occasion Google Assistant switches on when nothing has been said, maybe that is the same issue as OP but it's not 15 times a day. It's more like why did my screen come on situation...
Hey guys!
So I just got my pixel (first gen) a few days ago and I've been trying to setup hands free voice recognition, but there seems to be a problem :<
After I press "Ok Google" Detection my phone asks me to repeat the phrase "Ok Google" a bunch of times so the assistant can learn to recognize my voice, but that is where I'm stuck...
It doesn't matter how many times I say Ok Google it just wont recognize it... it just stays on the first step and the little blue circle keeps turning...
The really wired thing about it that if I say Ok Google on my home screen everything works! The assistant comes up right away...
I tired talking to google support and they didn't know what the issue was, so now I'm stuck, and I'm clueless what else I could do...
Anyone ever encountered something like this?? I'll appreciate any help I can get. I'm also attaching a few screenshots that seems to be of interest to the google support team, might provide you guys with more information.
Thanks a lot!
