Google match only works on lockscreen - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

My "Ok Google" hotword does not work anywhere EXCEPT the lock screen and waking device. Once my phone is unlocked, it will not respond. When I tap the microphone icon, it will listen, and the voice typing on my keyboard works. So I don't think it's an application holding the mic.
Issue on OOS 9.5.3 and OOS 9.5.6. I am rooted, but no mods that would affect mic.
I have gone through the usual:
- Toggling Voice Match off/on
- Deleting voice model and retraining
- Deleting the offline speech recognition language pack (US English) and re-downloading
- Clearing cache AND data from the Google app
- Removing the latest update, and going through the above in an older version
- Installing latest Google app (even tried beta).
Essentially, I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps I could find from Google and other sources. It seems like a security thing gone buggy but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Update: I added the Google app to Magisk hide and it now works as intended. I never had to hide it before on my 6t.
EDIT: Just hiding Google Play Services works.

Thank you for posting this. I have the exact same issue. Lock screen and "wake screen" I get a response but nowhere else.
I've tried all the steps you mentioned except Google app beta. Sadly Magisk hide on the Google app dosen't help me.
I'm 9.5.5.GM21BA, rooted with Magisk 19.3 and Nova launcher (no idea if this matters).
Anyone else having issues? Got any tips for me OP? Could it be that the combination of Magisk hide and something else you did resolved the problem for you?

I was mistaken - hide Google Services Framework. That worked for me.

I don't root
Maybe an incompatibility with another application or Nova
Edit
oups topic error

going insane with this. won't work just like you describe. recognizes OK GOOGLE only when screen is locked but won't perform anything.
hiding google play services and then rebooting did nothing to help for me unfortunately

Any new fixes for this one? Even with latest 9.5.13 OS, "Ok Google" is broken. I need this for traveling while driving.

[guide]Package Installer will not install apk's - Cancel works but not Install button

I practically ran into the same problem as outlined above. Since googling for this issue was not straightforward, I thought it wise to make the answer to this issue into a micro-guide.
I can no longer install apps (apk's) from the Amazon App Store, or from downloaded apk files, but the market works fine.
I am not rooted, and I am still running 3.2 (US). This started in the last few days, but I can't think of anything that I have done.
I cold booted, but I still get the same results; The install dialog box comes up with the options at the bottom "Install" or "Cancel", however, install does nothing, the window is active because you can press "Show All", or "Cancel" and those do work, but not "Install". I can't think of anything that I have overlooked.
Any Ideas?

The most a) likely solution comes in the form of b) security applications interfering with the installation, c) package incompatibility with the device or screen filter applications used to lower the device's brightness below the minimal limit of the Brightness settings.
In my case it was the application "Lux" which was to blame. Thus make sure to untick "stay alive in the "generals" option menu. And kill the Lux app. Now installation proceeds unhindered. Avast was not at fault. So don't freak,- often the solutions are trivial - finding the answers isn't.
Thanks to anyone who contributed in the original thread and to xda.
Oh man, thanks for this! For me, it was the app 'Screen Adjuster' that was blocking apps from being installed. I turned that off, and I finally have an ad blocker again!

Re: Install apk problem - install button not working
If not already done:
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Package Installer Clear Cache & Data, Force Stop, reboot. If this doesn't work repeat, but reboot into recovery and wipe the cache partition.
Still having issues try AppInstaller. Still having issues, there must be a bad system app (frameworks?) that needs clearing and force closed.
100% work
Thank you so much! I was about to tear my hair out in frustration! I had tried everything! But this never occured to me.
I had this inssue too. It's problem with apps which work in background and creating some overlay elements. Disable all this apps and than you can install normally. I had this problem on P.A.C. Rom, after addition of HALO
Sorry for my bad english
Was having trouble installing APKs. The 'install' button was not working. Turning off halo fixed problem.
Another app causing the issue
Velis Auto brightness.
Too bad, because I liked this app. If anyone knows of an app like that that does not cause the issue, I would appreciate the name.

It's Obvious that you have to look for a installed app that does something with youre screen.
succes
For me it was Zulu's Droidmote server
Sent from my SCH-I815 using xda app-developers app
My was the Easy Eye. It overlays screen element to minimize blue LED.
For me it was JuiceDefender Ultimate. I turned off its brightness control function and I could install apk's. That's odd. After installation I turned it on again, because this function is doing a good job and I love JuiceDefender.
However, thank you for your guide! :good:
unable click install button solved.
Thanks, it worked for me. I was using NIGHT MODE application. After i'm closing that app i'm able to install apk. Thanks a lot.

[Q] Ok Google From Any Screen- Dissapeard

It was working for a week and just noticed it stopped.. when i went to the settings, there isnt the option anymore..
anyhow its happening to alot of peeps...
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/websearch/xGiV6D4PMS8[26-50]
anyone here experiencing the same or find a solution?
My buddy is also experiencing this. None of the potential fixes he found worked. Reverting to old versions, clearing data, or enabling "Enhanced" voice support didn't fix it.
I've seen some people mention Google disabled the feature due to the phone picking up excess background noise and interpreting it as "Ok Google."
Gone for me too.
Weirder still (and completely infuriating), that option is gone, but I now have "trusted voice" under smart lock, but of course no ability to use it.
Yeah.. why wouldn't google or samsung communicate what they did and what they will do about it... hmmmm
Ok Google missing
I wonder if it has anything to do with Samsung's S-voice being able to open the phone from a "screen off" position?
Maybe Samsung and Google fighting it out?
Just resurrecting this to see if anybody knows of any updated info on this?? I really miss this.
It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
I can confirm it is back up and running look likes it was a conflict with Samsung voice...
My google now from any screen no longer works as well

"Ok Google" Recognition Not Working

Well, title says it all. Can't get Assistant open with the phrase. Tried retraining the voice model a bunch of times, turned off and and on voice search in activities and have restarted my phone. I'm rooted with magisk. Anyone else experiencing issues with assistant?
Me.
I am 9.5.4, unlocked bootloader, magisk installed, super clean installation. Ok Google recognition was working totally perfect the few times I used it in 12 hours; in the last 5 hours it started not picking any voice command, be it in a locked screen or not. Wiping Google's cache didn't help. It must have something to do with OOS (maybe rooting? not likely I guess)
PS voice dictation seems to be working properly

I'm on 9.5.3 with the other stuff the same. And yeah, all the other voice stuff works. I can open assistant other ways and then use my voice to say a command. Just cant activate assistant with voice. Hopefully it's not something to do with rooting, that would suck...

After having tried all of the solutions I could think of - clear Google app cache, clear Play services cache, clear any sort of account, clear my desk lol, uninstall and install updates here and there, retrain voice, change languages - I reset everything and start with a fresh OOS install. Now it works no matter what as I am still rooted, with Nova and I have rebooted my phone several times. I suggest you to do the same. Well, maybe wait a couple of days so I can tell you whether it stops working or not. FINGERS CROSSED!!

You have updated OOS ie you went from 9.5.3 to 9.5.4 and then 9.5.5 so did I. And so my phone was screwed.
Take my advice: backup, uninstall all Magisk modules and then go to settings and reset everything. You won't even need to boot your phone from a modified boot image!
Please do it for me lol
Any chance of resolving this without full reset?
I'm seeing something similar, 9.5.5 with magisk and Nova, upgraded from 9.5.4. I did full flash of 9.5.5 OTA (ie. all partitions not incremental) without wiping data.
I can only get Assistant to react when the screen is off or when the screen is "half on" (ie. black screen with clock). Other places it does not work, ex. lock screen, home screen, in the assistant app, in the Google app etc..
In 9.5.4 I could get the assistant to react from the home screen but never when using a BT headset.
Hi,
I can not use assistant
I set my voice in the settings , but when the screen is turned on and I say "ok google" the wizard does not run.
If the screen is off, the "ok google" launches but I can not talk to him. He does not react to the voice.
I erase the cache + data from the wizard but nothing to do.
Do you have any ideas.
Thank you

[help] Yet another thread about GMS in P40 pro

Happy New Year everyone!
So I have a P40 pro with GMS installed since ver.121 but currently on EMUI 11 (.151).
After the EMUI11 the phone started acting a bit weird, so I suppose that something is not right with GMS.
Currently having gsf frozen and I am getting notifications normally ( I only unfreeze every now and then to update apps in playstore), but my BIG problem now is that google maps has stopped working as it should; whenever I input an address and press Start to commence navigation, it goes to the navigation screen and immediately goes back to route overview. This only happens in Gmaps, Waze works normally, however I am using google maps every day so i need that fixed. Tried to wipe cache but no dice.
If GSF is not frozen, whenever I try to open Gmaps it goes to its homescreen for a split second and then crashes.
My main question is, is there any way to try and "fix" GMS by doing only some of the steps in current methods, without having to start from scratch and factory reset my phone? I really cannot go this path again and considering that the above problem aside, it looks like the phone is still usable (google account in place), so are there any safe steps to follow without messing up GMS more than what it is? Could I follow let's say the last 2-3 steps of the guides out there, i.e. clearing cache and uninstalling/installing play services and gsf (without downgrading)??
Is downgrade a must only to enter your google account, or also for doing all the steps?
TIA,
Thanos

im on emui 11, i already had googlifyer installed pre the upgrade and that worked for me to fix the play protect messages - but he also mentions the google maps crash issue.
It does not let me install the play services apks of the link. Although I have play services uninstalled from the phone, i am getting "installation failed" and reason for failure "you already have a newer version of this app", but I dont have the app installed at the moment.
OK, so that's weird. I noticed that when I was getting the notifications suddenly I could see two play services apks the second one having the second SIM icon on the corner. So I uninstalled this one as well and it let me install the apk. Everything went OK, maps and playstore work BUT I keep getting the play not certified error in notifications bar for the second SIM play services, so for now I just silenced the notification.
Any way how to solve this? Never noticed before that I could get playstore error with a sim no.2 icon and the most weird thing is that now there is only one play services app in apps list, but sporadically I was seeing a second one, hence why it was not letting me install an older version, because even tho I uninstalled the normal one, a second one (same ver) was also somewhere hidden.

If you get the playstore error you have to repeat the fix process on the maps link, I had to do it a few times to fix it.
The other thing which fixes it is icebox freezing gsf but then maps doesn't work so good as it does access location well.
It seems a choice between notifications and no maps or maps and no notifications...
Uninstall and install Maps few times ... if Maps (last version) continues with errors, try version 10.49.3.

Is that for the crashing issue or the location issue?
When I had any problems with Maps (on P40 pro or Mate40 pro), crash or location, I used 10.49.3.
Later I tried the latest version a few times, until it worked (on both phones).

Initially I installed Gms with the method available back in September, no micro G involved. After that, I was just freezing gsf with multitool 8 via PC whenever I wanted to unfreeze them to update apps in playstore (I cannot stand aurora store, way too slow and too many clicks, I preferred to unfreeze gsf, reboot, update all apps and freeze with multitool).
Maps with frozen gsf were working just fine on me, even without Google location accuracy the GPS fix was immediate.

As described earlier, I was getting the play certified error by a play services app having a SIM 2 icon, similar to the bottom whatsapp app attached, however after I silenced the notification I only see one play services app in my app list and if I go to notifications settings the play services availability notifications are on, so it is like there is a duplicable play services app hidden somehow.
OK, there we go again.. A few minutes ago play services was updating in notification bar and after that I got attached notification for playstore with sim 2 blue icon (again.. ). When I clicked on the notification it got me to a playstore with sim 2 icon, but when I go to home screen and then go to app list there is no such thing as a sim 2 playstore.
Any ideas? What is going on, I have no idea..

Nope, right now gsf is not frozen, I was just keeping it this way to test the errors and functionality before freezing it
What's with the sim icons in Google apps though? Never seen them before until now
I haven't found a way to remove the play protect errors without freezing gsf unfortunately, I'm sure it can be done but it caused me loads of hassle and I ran through the process a ton of times but only a few times did I manged to have it working with no play errors. I think you have to strip it back clean everything out and start fresh but uninstall icebox too... My config is now with gsf frozen and bar the app store everything is working...

Question Google Assistant Abruptly Stopped Working.

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well.
I received my Galaxy Watch 4 yesterday and decided to debloat it using the following guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/debloat-galaxy-watch-4.4324147/.
From then until this morning, the Google Assistant was working completely fine, no hiccups at all. However, once I tried enabling it this morning, it just abruptly crashes. To clarify, I either use the shortcut or open through the app, a black screen comes up and then it reverts back to the previous screen. It is set as my default assistant and everything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it twice to no avail as well.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
UPDATE:
After having the thought of using the command adb logcat -b crash #default, I was able to locate the reasons for the crashes. Previously, I uninstalled both the alarm and timer apps from my watch. However, if these apps aren't available, Google Assistant will simply crash.
After reinstalling these apps, the assistant finally works! Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that was experiencing any similar issues.

After having the thought of using the command adb logcat -b crash #default, I was able to locate the reasons for the crashes. Previously, I uninstalled both the alarm and timer apps from my watch. However, if these apps aren't available, Google Assistant will simply crash.
After reinstalling these apps, the assistant finally works! Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that was experiencing any similar issues.

I can confirm this is what also happened to me.
Watch 5, had disabled most of samsung apps (alarm and timer) - assistant stopped working.
Read this and restore those two apps. All good.
Funny enough, I had the same issue back in January when the assistant app was updated. I tried troubleshooting and after a reset, it still wouldnt work (not sure why though. reset should reinstall all apps), so I just settled with using the previous assistant version and not updating it.
Came across this and it also worked for me on the latest assistant version. Shame that I have to have these useless duplicate apps, since samsung alarm doesnt sync with my pixel clock alarms. Have to use google clock, which is fine, but still.
