So I just bought a Bluetooth kit of my car and long pressing the play button is supposed to access Google Now voice prompt. Google Now turns on once I press the button however it doesn't wake my screen or open on google now on the screen.
It's pretty irritating because I can do voice commands but nothing shows on the screen while I'm doing it.
For a side issue, I've had problems getting the kit to auto connect with my phone once I turn my car on. I have to manually go into the settings and connect to the device everytime I'm in my car which is also mildly irritating.
Now I don't know if these issues are TouchWiz, lollipop, or device related but I could do some things to try to find out like try other phones on the kit, try other voice command kits with my phone etc.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered these issues and if you were able fix them. Or if you have any suggestions for me.

I think that you have to allow google now to launch using the "ok google" hot word from any screen in the settings of google now.

I just tried this out without a bluetooth headset. I can't get my device to search with the screen off. but i can get it to search with the screen on, even if i haven't unlocked it.

Did you train your voice?

I think this is actually a feature that OP is describing. When you press the bluetooth button or long press the headset button and the device is locked, it activates a hands-free all-audio search so that if your phone is in your pocket you can still give it voice commands without having to touch the screen. The "OK Google" voice command is different, it wakes the device and goes to the voice command screen (which sounds like is what OP wants).
In regards to this I can't get the long press on the headset button to activate voice search. I have google now installed and the settings set to activate with headset, where it warns that this will allow commands to be given while the device is locked. I'm on cleanROM Lite 1.1, but I've tried on my wife's non-rooted phone and also on my galaxy s4 running a touchwiz lollipop rom with no luck. It did work fine on cyanogenmod on my s4.
I have the S8+ & almost always have on both my Huawei watch & a BT headset around my neck. I never take my phone out of my pocket to answer calls. The problem is, the phone keeps the screen on with the phone app in my pocket running after I answer a call. This causes button presses leading to hanging up, mute, changing settings, etc... I have the "Keep screen turned off" option on & set pin or fingerprint to unlock the device.
What am I missing?!? It's driving me crazy! Even tried to have tasker turn off the screen but that locks it to where you can't unlock with just a fingerprint. Why is it even turning on the screen at all in my pocket?
Well, as the title says. It's a weird one really. Whenever I get to the screen where it asks me to say "OK Google" I can say it a hundred times and it just won't register. Weirdly enough, the phrase works just fine to trigger search when I'm in the google app. Just won't let me train it to work with screen off.
same, the screen keep on flashing
Now I can only wake up google asssitant by pressing the power button for 0.5 sec.. (as set up)
Is there a way to activate Google Assistant by just saying "Hey Google" while the screen is locked and the phone is unplugged?
I know it's possible to call Google Assistant while the phone is plugged in, even on a locked screen, but wondering if it can be done when the phone is unplugged, too.
As the title says, is there a way to say "ok google" and wake up the phone when the screen is turned off ?
It works when it's locked but not when the screen is off.
I've tried to search all over the internet and the forum and i couldn't find a solution.
