[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawke84:
Just factory reset my phone to fix an issue with encryption and for some reason I have no option for OK Google detection from any screen. Option just isn't there. I've disabled a voice but no luck.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmith4:
Same thing happened to me, and some other people over in the galaxys6 reddit sub. I wonder if it has something to do with trusted voices because I now see that in the smart lock settings. Clicking it brings you to google nows OK Google section.

I'm on att if it matters.

Do you guys have the correct language set?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
I do. My voice features disappeared as well
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overlytic:
Have the same issue. 'Anywhere' hot word detection disappeared yesterday. I also think it must have been the update I ran. Uninstalling the Google now update had no effect though. Also tried setting the language to English US, no effect. Next thing I was going to try was factory reset, but sounds like this don't work either?

Installed Google launcher for the time being. Atleast I can use 'okay Google' from all my home screens until this is resolved.

I'm wondering if to start a thread on Google product forums and report as a bug. If enough people post it tends to get escalated to google
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piccit:
Same thing happened with the Moto X.

There is a config flag that lists the 'blacklist' phone models. There used to be an app to force the Google app into debug/dogfood mode so that you could change it - but I haven't seen any way to do that w/ the newest versions. My guess is that Samsung chose to disable listen everywhere to try to force people into using s-voice.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
Maybe they removed the feature temporarily to make sure Trusted Voice works flawlessly on the S6 (and other devices).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex-28:
mine went missing as well.

ATTENTION ALL, POSSIBLE FIX!

OK so I updated my N9 to the latest DU release today, and low and behold, always on was grayed out and not available (dammitt!!)...

BUT, I was able to fix it!! Here's what I did:

- go into your main settings

- select language and input

- under speech, select voice input

- you should see enhanced Google services and basic Google services.

- if basic is selected, select enhanced, and always on should now be available.

- if enhanced is selected, toggle basic, wait 5 seconds, and toggle enhanced again. Always on should now be available.

Please try this and let me know if it works. If it did, I'll publish the fix beyond this thread.

Thanks for any feedback. Mine had enhanced toggled. Toggling basic and then enhanced again fixed it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
Mine is working fine. Stock rooted, running Nova Launcher. Running latest Google as Services and Google Search. I even have the Trusted Voices option.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
That would be pretty brazen on Samsung's part, considering G Now is a third party app (not part of the OS) and it's up to the user whether they want to install it or not (and use it's features). I don't think I've ever heard of an OEM disabling app features before. I know some apps will not work once they acknowledge you are rooted, but never the other way around. I also could be completely wrong :)

All I know is, this issue is not specific to the S6. Happened on my N9 too, and that's a Google branded device.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesnav:
I'm thinking play services, and that takes forever to fix, if fixed at all

I missed that it was on other devices, so I'll change that to perhaps Google doing it to save battery, since general system is usually where I see drain that I can't track...

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
I would be surprised if Google even responds, or cares. It is an optional feature in one of it's apps. If it were a detrimental bug within Android, that was Google's fault and not Samsung's, they may at least respond. I wouldn't get my hopes up that Google or Samsung is really going to give a damn. I honestly think there may be something that everyone is missing that could easily get the problem fixed.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumbleklutz:
For what it's worth, I just finished an online chat with a Samsung service representative.

The rep asked if the "ok google" hot words stopped working after an update. When I responded in the affirmative, I was told; "Sometimes features are changed after updates". When I asked the rep to confirm that the "ok google" command from any screen had been removed, the response was; "Not removed, changed". Apparently, hot words will now ONLY work from inside an app, and this is an intended change. The rep would NOT elaborate as to why this change was made, and whether it was a change made by Google or by Samsung.

When I pressed for further information the rep was adamant that NO FEATURES were removed they were merely CHANGED. I explained to the rep that by limiting "ok google" to working only from within an app; that they had taken away hands-free usage of the phone and therefore a FEATURE of the phone was indeed REMOVED. At this point the rep asked if they could be of any further assistance and ended the session. EDIT: "Ok Google" does still work from a home page that has the google widget on it. So, it does work outside the app; just not from any screen like it did before.

Interestingly, the "ok google" hot words DO still work if you use the "google now" launcher instead of "touch wiz"; which leads me to believe that this change was Samsung's doing.

In any case, I'm very disappointed with this change. I'm hoping that I've been given misleading information, and that this truly is just a bug that will be worked out in a future update.

AJ, Community Manager said:

Hi everyone,

We sincerely thank you for your patience again as this was sorted out. The team was working on smoothing out some compatibility issues, and this missing feature was an unintended result of it. However, as mentioned in previous messages, the engineering team was made aware of this high-priority issue when users initially reported it and they have been diligently working on providing a solution since.

Now, we are happy to share that the "From any screen" function has been fixed for S6 and S6 Edge devices on the Google Search App (GSA), and the fix is actively rolling out to users. To ensure that this feature becomes available to you soon, please ensure that you are running the most up-to-date version of GSA (4.5+). Please note that “Ok Google” from any screen will be available, however remaining compatibility issues mean that turning on the feature will limit the availability of S-voice hotwording to only when the screen is off. Users who prefer to avoid this can turn off “Ok Google” from any screen.

Thank you again for your feedback and patience as we got to the bottom of this!

Working on SM-G925W8

Hi guys,

So I have Samsung Galaxy s6 edge, (SM-G925W8) I had the same issue previously, but after a recent update of Google app, the issue is fixed. I have version 4.6 and I was able to enable it. Then my "trusted voice" wasn't working. Very easy fix for that also

Go into the google settings, and change the language to "English (US)" uncheck all other languages and it should work

hi all,

unfortunately with the hot days kicking in (probably) i started to experience the awful touch problems on my beloved OPO. Now, since through the internet i continuosly read of users that have these problems, i'd like to know if there is the other side of the medal. so i'd like to have answers from people that meet the following requirements:

1) own the phone for at least 8 months

2) live in a place where temperature can be considered normal, for example i'm from italy (i'm sorry antartica users)

3) have performed this test : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2WIMLhrwkE

as you can see in the video the touch begin to freak out when 2 touches are registered on the same X axis, and this is exactly what happen to me making even writing really difficult

Is this a setting/switch somewhere to get..."from any screen" back as a choice?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daidouji:
Hello guys thanks for your time.

I have an Sony Xperia Z3 with a Locked BootLoader, it originally came with 4.4.4 but I upgraded it to 5.0.2 and rooted it. I was able to boot to custom recoveries before I used NDR Tools for that. I used TWRP and everything was fine. But the problem is that...

I realized that the "Close All" button on the task manager was missing and I wanted it back so I searched around and found a mod for it at the forum, I did the exchange of the SystemUI.apk and everything worked fine... I messed up the RW permissions first but I was able to change them and everything went back to normal. The problem is I can't boot back to TWRP with the NDR Tools... it HAS root permission and everything... so do you guys know why this happen?

Here's a picture of my System info.

Thanks in advance!

...so i put them all in one thread. :).

Hello everyone.

Just got a TyTn. Quite a change from my old K800, but im sure i'll adjust.

Ive been reading around here for a few weeks now in antisipation of my TyTn arriving. So know a few things already, like the highly rated 'batti' battery app.

I have a few questions about it though that i cant find definate answers on:

- Is it possible to have custom ringtones for each contact?

- How do i close programs? As at the moment they just seem to minimise, and the only way i can find to actually close them is through the memory app in settings.

- How do i install the today screen app called 'Launcher' its not a cab file like the rest of the programs ive installed.

- Is there a today screen plugin i can use to lock the phone when i press it?

- Some of my contacts are listed as 'elliot, fred' rarther than 'fred elliot'. How do i fix that?

- Is it possible to have full screen contact images? Ive got contact images setup for a few of my contacts, but they only ever show up as a tiny icon when opening a txt (havnt tryed incoming calls yet), is there a way to make it so that when i get a txt i get the picture instead of/extra to the standard popup?

- Emoticons. How/can i put them in txt messages? (actually view them, not the pure text equilivent.).

Thanks in advance all.

Any help would be much appricated. :).

Ok I tried to help, but geez dude. I think this forum may be a little advanced for you. There are plenty of other websites and forums that can help you with these questions. Before you post any more questions:

1. Read The Windows Mobile Manual

2. Learn how to use the search function

3. Spend a little more time reading

4. Read a little more.

5. Come back and post questions when you ACTUALLY have a phone. THis way you can try to figure things out on the phone before you start asking questions.

Good Luck!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahnryu:
This morning I woke up to the phone rebooting. It wasn't anything special since I know custom ROMs tend to randomly reboot so I let it be. Later I went back to it to find the phone dead, so I reset it by holding the power down the power button. Now the phone stays on the black Google screen, sometimes rebooting, sometimes just staying there. I figured I could just wipe everything with TWRP and start anew.

Well, that didn't work. So I decided to do what I always do in case of emergencies, and just reflash the RUU and start from zero. That didn't work either--it said the flash failed due to an unknown error. I went to htcguru and got the back-to-stock RUU exe and the same thing happened, unknown error. Now I can only get to the bootloader and TWRP, but other than that, nothing.

Here's my getvar all, if it helps:

I think it's also worth noting that I can't do anything through fastboot (even updating the firmware). I even got the newest version of adb/fastboot from Google but I still get the same unknown error. Changing USB ports and USB cables did nothing either.
