Hey guys I have a problem with Google Assistant and I would like to know if any of you had similar problems. I live in Czech Republic, Google Assistant is part of the Google app here as the standalone Assistant app is not available in PlayStore.
I set my phone to US English, set everything up including changing default voice, "Ok Google" detection and it works perfectly fine until phone goes offline. Then Google Assistant forget every settings, reverts to Voice 1 and stops responding to "Ok Google". It also shows weather in Fahrenheit, even though I set it to Celsius before. I wonder if it´s just a Google issue or if there are some EMUI shenaningans in play.
Model BKL-L09 (C432)
Thanks

I just updated from 4.4 to 4.4.2.
The "OK Google" hotword detection was working fine (in both the GEL and the Google Search app if I accessed it via the app icon) before I updated, but now the ability seems to be lost no matter what I do.
I've double-checked the following -
My system default language is English (United States).
In my Voice Search settings:
a) my language is also English (United States).
b) Hotword detection option is checked.
c) In my Offline speech recognition > Download Languages settings, I've English (United States) pre-installed (no different from in 4.4).
In short, I simply haven't changed any settings that might have caused this problem.
Anyone having this same issue, or know how to fix it?
UPDATE:
I figured out what happened - it was Pushbullet that caused my problem, not 4.4.2.
Apparently their "Notification Mirroring" feature (which is quite awesome) under Accessibility settings somehow gimped Google Search's hotword detection. Here's a link to someone else's thread where this problem had already been discovered last month(!).
I only found out after Pushbullet themselves acknowledged the issue in their app update description on Google Play.
Anyway thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
I'm still on 4.1. Not sure what the deal might be. You'll probably see a 4.3 update now to fix this issue.

i had that after updating to 4.2.2. I had English (US) at first but I tried switching to English Canada and the "Say OK Google" was gone. Went back to English (US) and it's back and working again.

Hmm. Which setting did you change exactly?
The general language option for the whole device in Settings > Language & input, or in Voice under the Google Search settings?
Google Now>settings>Voice>Language

Didn't work for me.
Tried it with English (UK), the mic button was greyed out / just showed an outline. Hit the back button till I was on my homescreen and swiped away Google Search in the Recent Apps list. Switched back to English (US), and it was still the same.
Same here
I got the same,
it doesnt even work if you're on the google now screen
I am having the same issue after the 4.4.2 update....hope they fix this soon i was really getting used to this feature!
That's strange. I updated and it's working fine for me
Thx very usefull..
Working fine for me on CM-11 (4.4.2)
I flashed the full 4.4.2 factory image from google. Still shows "Ok google" on my search bar and worked just fine.
It goes away after like 10-15 tries... but that time google knows that you have learned the process.
or are you saying when you say "okay google" it doesn't detect at all ?
Uninstall Updates to Google Search and then reinstall them.
Found the culprit. Problem now solved.

I'll update the OP.
I had the same issue going from 4.4 to 4.4.2. The fix for me was the main language setting. All my inputs were set under English (U.S.), i.e., keyboard, voice but my main language setting was English (U.K.). Don't how how it happened but I switched it back and I was good

You were spot on with that buddy! The same thing happened after I allowed notification mirroring with AirDroid. Disabled that in the accessibility settings and Google hot words works again. Thanks a lot

I have updated my XT1033 to Lollipop Brazil OTA. However, I cannot get my Okay Google detection work anywhere including Google Now,
Wonder anyone has the same problem.
Cheers,
Go to:
Google Settings App -> Search & Now -> "Ok Google" Detection
Check whether all 3 (or atleast first) toggles are ON.
If yes, then click on "Retrain Voice Model", (it will then tell you to say Ok Google 3 times).
This is not the problem. I have set everything on. When I train the voice, it just doesn't respond no matter how many times I say OK Google
I can't seem to make my ok google work
I've got it connected by bluetooth to my phone so it has data
I have the hotword turned on
What else do I need to be doing?
you have to say it with american accent to work...mine is working fine but isnt much of a help most of the times...

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.
When I say ok google , it asks me for fingerprint or pattern.
How can I bypass the passcode and directly activate the assistance?
anyone？
I usually manage to fix it by:
- open settings
- search for "Trusted Agents"
- turn google off
- restart phone
- turn bag google agents on
But in general i need to repeat those steps after every google app update I think
Just came back from work,
i have tried to do the same way with my P20, it is not working too.
However, when i do the same for my Samsung S8+, it works!
which means voice activation for S8+ is working but not P20
Just been out of town to Japan.
And curious enough to try the ok google again
Very weird, it works perfectly in Japan with my P20
So is it limited by district or something?
I can't activate voice match at all. I've tried multiple different languages (phone and Google app) but the setting is always greyed and unclickable. Tried different fixes but no success.
Unfortunately Smart Lock has been broken in all the Android devices for a while now, and Google just doesn't seem to care. It's not an issue with Huawei phones.
Please star the issue and write a comment here, hoping one day they'll address it... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/65972290
I installed Google Assisstant from the play store, and also finished the installation on the phone.
But when I say "Hey Google", my watch showed "Still setting up Hey Google” error message.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Check if your country is supported in Google assistant on GW4.
It sounds crazy but if your language in assistant is supported on phone it does not mean it is supported on GW4 .

Use normally until I lose my phone.
To connect with new phone, I restart my watch and boom, "Hey Google" is now gone.
