It works fantastic for me, and it will be even better when the Google search api will be updated so I can execute Tasker commands from within Google now! One thing bugs me though, when my phone is charging and the screen is turned off, Google now should be working, and it does, but the screen doesn't wake so the command doesn't get executed, is there a way to wake the screen when saying OK Google?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Mine screen wakes up when I say okay Google. Actually it only happened once where the screen didn't wake up, so I though it was a fluke. I just manually turned the screen on and off myself and it works as it should again.
[Nexus 5 General] Lokke9191:
I'm surprised people aren't freaking out over this. We've been waiting for this functionality. It's release is clouded by the release of the l preview. But the second I heard about screen off Googl. Now, I ditched the l preview and flashed stock 4.4.4. This is soooo awesome.
[Nexus 5 General] Guilherme Noronha:
Did anyone outside US got this without "force" installing any APK or running RTG?

I'm in Brazil with a US Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 and nothing happened for me yet. My input language (as well as system language) is set to US English.
[Nexus 5 General] Humpie:
It could be one of my apps is blocking the screen from turning on, I'll try disabling a few (like Cover maybe)
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Yea I got it in the UK without forcing it... The options just showed up after a few days
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Was yours just enabled when you installed the search update? or did you do something else. (the unleash fix soft bricks users)
[Nexus 5 General] thenewmalcolm:
I am really surprised we haven't seen more people talking about this. Its such a useful feature.
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Agreed i loved having that feature but then installed L and lost it. Even though its a feature I had for only 24 hours, I miss it.
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
So you had it on 4.4?
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Yeah on my n5 after clearing data it showed up (had the updated sdearch apk and services apk) on my N7 I used the hack that has been posted here.

Neither work for me on L. Part of the game i guess.
[Nexus 5 General] mredmond2012:
I'm freaking out that I don't have it yet!!! :mad::mad::mad:

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

P.S. Fun fact of the day: if you uninstall the updates in the Search app on the Nexus 5, you lose the ability to access the launcher. Better hope you have the Play Store in recent apps to be able to go back and update...and be ready to lose all your home screen configurations.

Also, you still won't have hotword detection everywhere after updating. :(
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
Now to wait for the hack that allows it to work when screens off NOT plugged into charger.

Although I do have issues with the program itself not recognizing my contacts names when they are nick names.
[Nexus 5 General] unitedatom:
I hate these slow roll outs :(
[Nexus 5 General] feered:
Yeah you aren't kidding. I've been patiently waiting but now after 5 days, this is a little ridiculous!
[Nexus 5 General] nextelbuddy:
my brother who does not do AMY modding what so ever had a completely stock HTC1 M7.. traded in his M7 for a new M8. All I did was install the latest google search and NOT the play services APK and he had the new hotword anywhere option.

i tried it on my N5 with JUSt the new search APK and then the search AND play services APK and still mine did not have the option.

so annoying that his account was enabled and he doesn't even use google search and home launcher ans just uses stock HTC sense.
[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
New Search update today, but no dice. Dangit Google...On L by the way.
[Nexus 5 General] BadFish79:
Friday night I had to wipe my phone and reflash 4.4.4. After setting everything up and installing updates I had this option. By mid Saturday morning, it disappeared and I haven't seen it since. I even gone through and said "OK Google" 3 times for the set up. Used it even.

O well maybe one day it will come back.

How about battery usage if you activated 'anywhere hotword'? Is it drains too much?
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
There's a misc drain on battery, wonder if that has anything to do with it. Hearing of all the people who don't have or lose it I am scared to change my settings in fear of losing it :)
[Nexus 5 General] etoile:
Mine is forced. Anyway, do you guys really need to shout to get OK Google to trigger? Or my N5 has mic problem?
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
I can next to whisper it if not a ton of background noise.
[Nexus 5 General] beren28:
For those who still don't have it, I did the following on both of my devices (a 5 and a 10) neither of which had it, and now both do:

1. Cleared data for google search.

2. Uninstalled updates

3. Updated from play store

4. Profit!

Will it work for you? Beats me.
[Nexus 5 General] dananjay:
I am not sure on what basis it was done.

But what happened with me is funny, and frustrating.

I got Android L up and running on my nexus 5. Had everything updated. And i got the hotword anywhere feature up and running, but then i needed to go back to my nandroid backup to get some data off it. So went back to 4.4.4 stock. took my data that was requireed. flashed L official images again, signed back with the same google account, only this time... i dint have anywhere hotword detection. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] Guilherme Noronha:
Just got my google search update today and finally those options became available.

Is it possible to unlock the phone by voice (speak the PIN) like the Moto X?
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
Updated Google Search and no dice Q_Q

What gives, Google? What gives?
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
Ditto. Just got the update, changed my language to English (US) (from English (UK)), but no new options. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] j'vai:
got the update also, & had mines set to english UK..

doesn't work from lock screen
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
Well I just updated from store( had hot word from locked screen) and it still works. On version 3.5.15
[Nexus 5 General] :
Got my update today. Remember, you have to go to Settings>Voice>OK Google hotword detection to enable the feature. Mine is working flawlessly by the way.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
I think people need to remember this is new, and may not work for everyone. That being said, it works great for me too. Even though I don't use "ok google" all that much, it's still a nice feature to have from almost anywhere.
[Nexus 5 General] erichkooi:
Got my update on both (Google Play Services and Google Search) since yesterday but I still don't see the setting for OK Google everywhere.

How do I able to enable this feature?
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
See 3 posts above. :p
[Nexus 5 General] erichkooi:
Yes, I did that and I also did further > clear cache + uninstalled update > re-installed it.

I still see the same setting in "Ok Google" Detection.

From Google Search app.

Say "Ok Google" to start a voice search from the Google app or any Home screen int he Google Now Launcher.

:(

setting: English (US)

Google Play Services: 5.0.82

Google Search: 3.5.15.1254529
[Nexus 5 General] bigwillis:
Its showed up twice on its own and went back away? I don't get it:(

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] tom1807:
Yeah, did the steps above, had the option with "From any screen" detection to enable and....

Nothing happens.

Doesn't recognize my voice when speaking 3 times "OK Google" and also from the start screen where it writes again "Say 'OK Google'" nothing happens.

Wondering which step I missed.

Cheers

Tom
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I haven't installed any apk to force the ok google detection. It automatically came in my settings and then went away on it's own. Has happened to me twice now.

Must say that this is really a weird way google has chosen to update it.

[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
I was seeing atleast 20-25% more battery drain with it for last 3-4 days since it was enabled. Have disabled the settings today and battery already looks to be much better. Will see how it goes. Anyone else also facing battery drain? Also, it worked on lock screen, but not when the display is turned off.
[Nexus 5 General] thenewmalcolm:
I've got it through the manual method on the N5 and s4 running 4.4, but I can't get it to work on L on the N7. Once titanium backup works i'll try loading the app data from the hacked version. Beyond that I think its going to take a Dev converting the apk that forces the action to run on ART.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharpie24l:
So the third day I had this running my phone quit going to sleep it was kept awake constantly. Would barely charge and wouldn't last for more than 3 hours on a full charge. Google search and play services were using nearly 80% of the battery.
[Nexus 5 General] chaco81:
how do we go about hiding the debug menu again once this change is done?
[Nexus 5 General] Lokke9191:
I uninstalled the unleash the Google app. And the debug menu disappeared a day later, might have been after a reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Haven't tested this but will try tomorrow. For those looking to enable this on L

[Nexus 5 General] lohanchien:
Worked for me! Only thing is that you will lose your homescreen configuration...
[Nexus 5 General] flightsimmer:
I just tried this, and I can confirm that this worked for me on L. The text value you'll look for is debug_features_level, not debug_features_flag like the post states. Once I edited the file and pushed it back, the hotword from anywhere options appeared. Time will tell if they stick, but it looks good for now.
[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
It was finally pushed for me. I'm just sitting here yelling at my phone in amazement haha.
[Nexus 5 General] Nburnes:
Worked for me as well.
[Nexus 5 General] ®AndroidDoctor®:
what program did you use to edit the file
[Nexus 5 General] Bakedbread:
i got the update for Google search automatically from the Play store

Went into the settings and if you have the proper update, you'll see new options

I was on English (Canada) and it said Ok Google detection didn't support this language, so I changed to English US and the options are enabled now

Your option screen should look like this attached:

The word detection works well on every screen including the lock screen

this was a feature i really wanted from the MotoX - but the biggest thing for me is having the Ok Google be able to wake when the phone is sleeping - but i think that's a MotoX feature due to their unique CPU+cores

anyways, hope the attached picture clears things up for some of you
[Nexus 5 General] aoaleman:
Just got mine.
[Nexus 5 General] NinoDolce1:
This is very cool!

I actually couldn't get it with this procedure since my phone is not rooted but I just got the update. This feature is actually very cool and works. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Enhanced:
Is there a reason why I can't see the "0x00" byte? I'm using Notepad++, is that something I can use to hex edit? Sorry for sounding like a newbie.
[Nexus 5 General] Nburnes:
Ghex in Ubuntu.

With everyone seemingly getting the update now, maybe we just edited the file at the same time as the rollout...:eek:

I believe it needs a hex editor plugin to be installed.
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
Has anyone in a non-english speaking country gotten the feature working?

My phone is configured to run on US-English, got a Google Search update but the options to activate the feature are not there Q_Q
[Nexus 5 General] heiserhorn:
I am in Switzerland. I got the search update. I have the phone on English US. I also tried to clear the app. No feature.
[Nexus 5 General] thenewmalcolm:
try searching "ok google everywhere

Nothing worked for me forever. Then believe it or not I tried searching for "ok google everywhere" on the nexus 7 with L on it and it worked. Unfortunately i forced it on the n5 and s4 so i'm not sure if i just happened to be checking right when i got the update. because i can tell you that 30 seconds before that the feature wasn't there. There are a few people on google plus who have also been able to activate it that way.
[Nexus 5 General] heiserhorn:
In which country are you?
[Nexus 5 General] Lokke9191:
I am running L. Not rooted. Not modified in any way. I just woke up and looked at my phone and it was at the screen with the gnow settings the one with the options for wallpaper and gnow settings, like if you were to hold down on the home screen to add a widget. I hit the settings button, went to voice...and low and behold the options for OK google from any screen where there. I activated them and trained my voice. But was unable to exit the settings page. It was bugged out. So I rebooted. And bamm phone is back to normal, running L with OK google from any screen and w screen off while charging. No hack method involved. Awesome.

[Nexus 5 General] moab361:
I'm on a Nexus 5 running L. I got the update today.

However, when the screen is off and I say a command the phone will beep and listen but the screen does not go on. Commands won't execute until I manually turn the screen on. Anyone else having this?
[Nexus 5 General] Enhanced:
I find that it's buggy and that happens sometimes, but not consistently.
[Nexus 5 General] projectvomit:
Just got it pushed to me. Don't know if this had anything to do with it. I uninstalled play services and search updates and cleared data and cache. Then updated through play store. Went to Now settings and setup.
[Nexus 5 General] iemonslice:
Anyone have any suggestions on how one could open Google maps when activating google voice search from the lockscreen? It seem maps can't launch until the lockscreen is defeated. For example, from the lockscreen, I'd like to to say 'directions to XYZ' and have google maps automatically launch. What happens now is the lockscreen redisplays and google maps is only launched once I swipe to unlock (I have no password set, only swipe to unlock).

Could this be made to work with Tasker? Are there other solutions for this?
[Nexus 5 General] Soulfly3:
Hey guys:

Checked yesterday if I had the option under "voice" and it was not there.

Just checked again for giggles today, and it's there!!! I didnt clear any cache, or uninstall anything... it;s just there now.

The ONLY thing I do everynight, is restart the phone. (manually update apps only, so it didnt update on its own)

Odd, no?
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
This trick worked for me.

Type in " OK Google Everywhere" in the search app and then go to settings and you will now see the option.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/07/03/still-dont-have-ok-google-everywhere-try-this-simple-trick/
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
I checked mind and it had updated. Works fine with screen off and charging. This shouldn't affect battery since it was already working when your screen was on before. And that's probably why it needs to be charging for screen off too work
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/07/03/still-dont-have-ok-google-everywhere-try-this-simple-trick/

OuncE718's posted a topic about it, but there's a *MUCH* easier way to make it work. Just search "okay google everywhere" from the search app, then go back and go to settings. It worked for me (I checked immediately before trying and the options weren't there...did the search and now options are there lol I'm not joking).
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
I noticed when using it with the screen off, there's a lag of about 30 seconds sometimes.
[Nexus 5 General] tmagritte:
It happens to me every time. I hear the beep but the screen doesn't come on and if I speak a command after the beep that normally will work (like "what time is it?") nothing happens. I need to turn on the screen at which pint it's in the listening state and then speak again.
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
The only thing I think would possibly do that may be if you undervolt/clock. Or have a screen off cpu minimum?

Or maybe it's buggy. Mine is working fine though. Been using it all day
[Nexus 5 General] ATZ-007:
I'm having exactly same problem.

Works fine from anywhere when the screen is on, however doesn't work when the screen is off and charging.

Also if I'm watching YouTube about OK Google and the moment they say "OK Google" Google Now screen appears and starts listening LoL
[Nexus 5 General] sahil04:
I use Nova Launcher and just randomly happened to go into Nova Settings and there is an option for Ok, Google in there now. Haven't seen it before unless I missed it.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Seems there is an easier work around. I've updated the OP with the link.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
I'm having the same problem. Are you guys using Exchange email on your phone? I'm wondering if it is the lockscreen policy from Exchange which is causing the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Negative.

My problem is hotword still works, just doesn't wake the screen. If I turn it on manually I can see Google now open. Kind of useless if you use secure lockscreen if you ask me.
[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
Because being able to plug your phone in, say "Ok Google" in order to bypass your lockscreen does not good security make. :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
So why offer the feature on secure lock screen anyways? It's not like GNow can perform ANYTHING while it's locked. :p

A way to speak our pin to unlock would be awesome. Hopefully someone can make it happen or see if there's a way to accomplish it with Tasker or something. Idk, just spitting out ideas.
[Nexus 5 General] gotzaDroid:
My issue is with the screen off and charging, the FIRST time it works, SUBSEQUENT times, Google now will open but not allow voice input. If I clear Google search from recents, it works with the screen off and charging again.

With the lock screen showing or any other screen showing, I do not have issues.

I'm guessing it's just a bug. Stock 4.4.4
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
It doesn't bypass security. It works fine on my tablet with pattern unlock. When Google Now opens the device is still locked, you need to enter your code if you hit your home button.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing basically. It hears me, if I ask the time it will answer me as soon as I unlock the screen.

Actually, I just did a test and removed my exchange account and my VPN, the two things which restrict my lock screen settings. Didn't help, still not working. Even with no lock screen security at all, I still need to manually turn the screen on to get a response!
[Nexus 5 General] stivelio:
Does this have considerable impact on battery if it is enabled?
[Nexus 5 General] Angel0fDeath:
Look somewhere in page 3 or 4
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
Mine isn't very sensitive, too. I don't think there's a mic problem because during phone calls it works flawlessly, but if I put my N5 and N7 side by side, the latter catches the hotword much more frequently.

I forced the always listening feature only on the N5, but I don't think it matters...
[Nexus 5 General] viskonde:
hei guys,

how come i still dont have this option avaliable?

at the moment im on nexus 5, completely stock... not even rooted

Hey. I'm running xelecin's 2.26 custom rom. In the description of the rom contents there is a part that reads,

"I have included 3 other T-Mobile USA customizations which do not automatically install.

T-Mobile_HotSpot_Login_Utility.cab - Self titled.

T-Mobile_OZ_Instant_Messaging.cab- The built in IM client.

T-Mobile_WinWAP_Browser.cab - T-Zones WAP Browser.

If you need one of the above items launch Total Commander and change the path to \extended_rom\ to run the installs."

where is the \extended_rom\ directory located? I'm in total commander and showing all files (including hidden), and I can't find the directory..

Help would be greatly appreciated.

In Total Commander, type '\extended_rom' in the address bar at the top. As soon as you finish typing, you'll be taken to the directory where you'll see two subdirectories, Autorun and T-Mobile, and 3 files. Open the T-Mobile directory and you'll see the .cab files.
