I've had the same issue in every version of the app. When the screen is off and I say "okay Google" it wakes up the screen but does not unlock the phone. I have to slide to unlock and then the voice search begins as normal. If I disable the lock screen it works fine, but this really isn't an option for me. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
As of the latest version, the design is that instead of unlocking the lockscreen (security implications) the lockscreen stays up, but behind it you should hear Google Now starting to listen. If you ask a question that results in a spoken response like "What's the weather" it will speak it from behind the lockscreen. You will still need to unlock the screen otherwise. Are you sure that this isn't the case? Try asking a question once the screen turns on and see what happens... If this still is not happening, what device, rom, and kernel?
[Android Apps and Games] nik71990:
This makes sense and it seems to work like this sometimes but other times it makes a different noise and will not work. On the latest version I've also noticed that the "okay google" phrase seems to work the first time but each subsequent try will not work whether the screen is on or off.

Also, sometimes the app turns off the system volume and won't allow the system volume to be turned back up or changed at all. Even turning off open mic does not return the system volume back to normal. Only rebooting the device fixes it.

Thank you for your work - I love the concept of this app.

Can you please send me the log right after you notice this? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Ok the app has just undergone a complete ui overhaul, not going to lie, it's pretty sweet :) It's based off of +Adriano Loiacono design (shown below). Anyways it is almost done and should be ready soon... I'm also hoping to get the app translated into a few languages. Please email me if you are bilingual, the process is pretty simple, I've uploaded the text onto Google Translator Toolkit so all you have to do is edit the machine translations.

Open Mic+ 3.0 Phoenix Beta

Introducing Open Mic+ 3.0 Phoenix. Weighing in at a download of exactly 666kb, Open Mic+ is rising from the ashes and making it's way back onto the Play Store. The plan is for the official release to be next Saturday, but you can grab the beta now from Google Play and the app will automatically update once it is released. To download the beta you must first join the Open Mic+ Community and then follow the link posted in the community. Note: If you do not join the community the link will result in a 404.

Anyways here is what is new in the beta!

- UI refresh (Thanks to Adriano Loiacono)

- Translation into Spanish (Thanks to Paulo Calvo and David Margolin) Note: We are still looking for translators!

- Option to turn off English speech recognition optimizations for users using foreign hot phrases, this will improve reliability

- Major bug fix where wave activation would continue after stopping

- Improvements to algorithm of wave activation and working behind lock screen

I'm testing your new beta... Looks really good... But it's not working with words in my language, only with english words :(
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Have you changed the Google Now language to that language. Also make sure you have installed the offline data for that language.

[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Thank you for response...

There are no offline data for my language :'(
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Yah so sorry it seems that Google doesn't support speech recognition in that language... As mine is based off of their speech recognition it won't work :( You could always try spelling words phonetically in English though
[Android Apps and Games] ezknives:
I cleared cache and data in Google search... uninstalled your app installed rebooted opened app started app and it now launches Google now... I apologize for posting prior to trouble shooting... although its been randomly opening Google now after I have stopped the app even with display off... checked settings and that option is not selected...
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
When i start Google Now via this app, then I can speak my language and is working... Also previous version was OK...
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
You're right Slovak is on the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Voice_Search. Strange, I haven't changed anything that would affect the speech recognition... I would try a reinstall and a reboot? Idk seems weird to me... Send me a log that way I can see what it interprets... Also make sure to turn off English Optimization.

Doesn't work on my Note 2

I have a rooted Note 2 and it rarely recognises me when I say "Okay Google" - I have Google Now and that recognises just fine.

Is this a known issue? I'm sorry if I am asking a question which has already been answered.
[Android Apps and Games] darabo:
This may be a silly question but would it be possible to take the "active listening" feature from the Moto X and include it in a ROM/port it to a phone that uses the S800 chip, which has an always listening core?
[Android Apps and Games] Samsung Fanboy:
I have a rooted Samsung galaxy S2 on Sprint and I have the option checked to where the phone can hear me when the screen is off but it only seems to work after the 10th time I said okay Google, is there a fix for that?

Sent from my V6 Supercharged Samsung Galaxy S2
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
So one of the test devices is a Note 2 and it actually performs the best out of all the phones so I know it works well. But I have had other users with problems with the Note 2 and many reported that changing the ROM fixes it. Not sure, if you want to send me a log I can probably get a better idea...

I believe if you have the chip you can just install the apk? I may be completely wrong though so look through xda.

If you can send me a log I'll be able to better identify the issue. But in general phones with heavy battery/performance optimizations (I see you are V6 Supercharged) seem to work worse, maybe it optimizes functions other than speech recognition?
[Android Apps and Games] Samsung Fanboy:
I just thought about that after I posted that my tweaks may be killing it. Now I have a noob question, I have my build.prop set to where it disabled all logs so in order to get a log do I need to change that or do you think an app would make a log? Also wanted to say thanks for such a quick response! I hit that thanks button too!

[Android Apps and Games] darabo:
I did but nothing came up in regards to this.

Just curious, did you pull this straight from the Moto X or did you create this yourself?

Also I want to join the beta but I'm not a part of Google Plus, would it be possible to join a Google Group instead to opt-in the beta?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Yeah the log the system makes isn't detailed enough so my app records a log by itself, just click Send Feedback.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44899126? I believe anybody that has a google account is part of g+? I personally just made an account as I don't use g+ either. I don't think I'll make a google group as there are already a lot places for me to check, but it will be released to the public this weekend!

Also I made this myself. Haven't used any code from the Moto X

You were right! I had hard coded English recognition from a test I did... My bad, next release will not have this issue.

I'm running an S4, rooted, SafeStrap, HyperDrive ROM. When I activate Open Mic+, it mutes my System volume. Has anyone else seen this on an S4? I've confirmed its Open Mic+, because as soon as I shut Open Mic+ down, my System volume comes back to its preset level.

"Unfortunately, VoiceDictation has stopped"

I have a rooted Sprint HTC One and when I try to start the app (press the play button), I get a crash message saying "Unfortunately, VoiceDictation has stopped", though the app itself is not crashing. Probably because of this, I am unable to use the hotword at all. I have the latest Google Search 2.8.8 from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I'm guessing there's something wrong with the ROM? When it crashes please click report. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] vcumsk:
Shrug, I'm using ViperROM (Android 4.1.2) and I can use voice for other apps fine. Forgot to mention that it doesn't crash if hotword is off. Also the hand wave doesn't work for me at all. I've emailed you the log though it doesn't seem to indicate or even recognize the problem.

Hey [MENTION=4673030]RSenG2x[/MENTION], have you had much feedback from someone who is using OpenMic+ on a Note 3?

Just installed the app now, and when I say Ok Google, my lock screen appears but no sound or Google search boots.

After saying Ok Google 3/4 times the start and stop sounds happen one after each other and nothing is able to be searched.

One more attempt at saying Ok Google then enables Google search on my screen and works fine.

I'm running stock 4.3

Help much? :eek:

Great work so far though!

listening when charging

Hey, Just a thought, an option to enable screen off listening but only when charging would be awesome! Love the app so far
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I really, really (really!) want this app to work as described.

When initially installed, it works great - but after maybe 10-15 minutes, it has severe trouble responding.. the hot word detection seems to fall off of the map. Not always - sometimes it will work ok, but then other times I look like an idiot saying "Okay Google" 3 or 4 times before it will respond.

What causes this to happen? If it just worked every time, it would be the BEST app available on the Play Store. In contrast, when in Google Now it always picks up the hot word instantly. So there's not a mic problem or anything like that.

I also have a ton of free RAM so I know it's not getting killed (aside from that the icon is in the status bar so it's not like it would get killed anyway)

Unrooted, T-Mobile HTC One Stock 4.3, Sense 5.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
In the future, this might be possible, but for now this is possible using Tasker, there is a tutorial on the g+ page if you scroll down far enough.

The reason that hotword detection doesn't work as well as Google Now is that Google gives app developers a paired down speech recognition api and reserves it's full strength algorithms for it's own applications. I try to do some analysis over what Google does for me, but I'm pretty new to sound engineering so there not nearly as good. Additionally there is a bug in Google Speech Recognition where recognition needs to be reset every 5 seconds. If you say the hotword when recognition is being restarted, it won't understand it. I'm working on switching from Google Speech Recognition, but I want to see what kit kat brings before committing myself.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Appreciate the response. I guess there's always the hand-wave technique, but I hate having a sensor constantly run when I don't know if it will affect sensor life and/or phone calls since the system uses the prox. sensor to black the screen..
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Open Mic+ should turn off when the phone starts ringing and turn back on after. Apparently this isn't happening though so I'm investigating this, this weekend. Also I'm hoping that Kitkat will fix these bugs in the apis as they have been around since Jelly Bean and Google has known about it...

Have had a trouble today while saying the hot phrase.

Google now didn't launch :(

Launched app and then push on stop/start button, but nothing happened...
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Yeah no improvement on success rate of catching the hot word. Couple times it took me 3-4 times before it would respond.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Yes I'm still investigating this issue, it seems that I may have to intercept the notifications and pause and resume recognition...

As in pushing the stop/start button didn't stop/start listening or were you still unsuccessful after a restart?

What is your hotword? The simpler and more common it is, the better Open Mic+ will work
[Android Apps and Games] Shark13012:
Unsuccessful... I removed the app and reinstalled it. Didn't try to reboot the phone.

[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:

[Android Apps and Games] Shark13012:
Is it normal that when I unplug my phone from my computer, Open Mic+ stops ?

Other thing, I think that the "Listen while charging" option is not functionning properly. When my phone is not charging, I have OM+ running, when I plug my phone, it keeps running, and when I unplug, it stops. The correct behavior is to stop while charging, and restarts when not charging no ?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
The idea behind listen while charging is for people that want to conserve battery, Open Mic+ will only run when it won't drain their battery. So yes this is the intended behavior, but you can implement the reverse using Tasker :)
[Android Apps and Games] Shark13012:
Okay, so I understand what does it mean ^^
[Android Apps and Games] zenrage:
it launches on its own

I have had Open Mic+ (Google Now) launch twice since installing it a few minutes ago (~30), without anything being said. There is some noise from my chair ,etc, but the keywords are definitely not being spoken.

To be clear I have seen this with two different sets of keywords.

"Okay Google"

"3p o" :)

I don't know that this is your issue, but probably the weak voice libraries built into Google. It does a terrible job of hearing me in general. I can say a phrase but it won't work. I have to delay each word like a robot. I know how to speak english quite well, and clearly. @@ I just don't hesitate a second between words. It never works at a normal speech pace for me. And "ok google" doesn't work for me in Google Now, for months. Not that I have ever really used it.

But as I said, this issue is happening when nothing is being said, just some minor background noises.

Do you have wave activation enabled? Sometimes this will activate accidentally.
[Android Apps and Games] zenrage:
I realized this last night as I went to bed and it went off. I didn't even consider it was the cause as I could barely get that to work either. I had to ferociously wave my hand over the phone. But it triggers as my shadow shifts. go figure. (not your issue necessarily)

But disabling that feature has seemingly stopped the false launches. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Love the product idea BTW. It is a battery drain, but I am hoping to just use it in the car while powered primarily for hands free.

[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
latest update still did not solve the problem where it stops listening. It gets so annoying to sit there saying the hot word/phrase over and over and over looking like an idiot because nothing is happening.

I really love the idea, and sometimes it works (which is awesome!) but when it stops working, I end up uninstalling it every time out of frustration. Every update that comes out I try it again, hoping for better performance.

I still gave you 4 stars though

Is there a setting that I'm missing that when you use Open Mic+ it will unlock the screen? I love the setting that when it is charging it will activate when I say the command but then it shows the text in Google Now but the screen stays locked and I can't confirm or send text.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I can, but what can you gleam from that? It's not as if it's a crash or something, it just doesn't do anything while I am saying the hot word/phrase
