[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vang2k:
I have used many many phones coming from Motorola, HTC, Samsung, LG I was not very familiar with Huawei. I seen the Nexus 6p in person so the build and quality was definitely just like a Flagship phone. I sold my AT&T S7 which became super buggy and started taking forever to charge.

I got use to wireless charging and the nice cameras of Samsung phones but it was lacking. The screen on the Samsungs are very nice but their software SUCKS AT&T version[laggy]. I decided to get the Mate 9 and I have NO regrets. It comes preinstalled with very little bloatware, its unlocked for GSM carriers. I use it for AT&T and it works great I have 4g LTE. No dropped calls or anything. It has everything you would want in a large phone which is the same size as a IPhone 7 plus. The screen is very bright and sharp like you would expect [nexus 6/htc m8]. The phone comes with a 4,000mah battery which last literally all day and does not take very long to charge with supercharge. It does not quickcharge on Quickcharge brick adapters you'll need the stock oem charger/wire. The speakers are super loud and very treble heavy not too much on the bass. The screen response is good and the vibration and feedback works great. If you just want a phone that has good speakers, big battery, big screen, fast fingerprint scanner, IR blaster, quick UI, no BS 16:9 ratio get this phone. You can use this phone all day and not worry about charging it. Build quality is top notch also like Apple, HTC.

I have tested OK Google to respond to my commands , from sleep, for the past few days. with positive results.

Ok Google, responds when screen is off /sleep mode.

If your data is on, it will return a result eg Weather report, time eg.

I have tested it with lock screen.

Fingerprint, Pin working fine.

Also no lockscreen, working fine.

However it cannot turn screen on

As Google, is enabled in my Edge Lighting settings

when i say Ok Google, my Edge Lighting "lights up " and Ok Google will respond to my command.

( See screenshot.)

On my previous handsets Ok Google only worked

when screen was on.Never from sleep /screen off.

Any alternative info, results ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] crayonyes:
but what ?

this is good news.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Ok Google works, but....

if screen can turn on, it would be 100 %

Best scenario will be to try youself and see what your results is.?

Same or otherwise?

As in past,

Xda members using Samsung devices

eg Note 5 or S8 etc could not get Ok to wake from

sleep /off. Samsung restricted ?

I posted OK Google results as there's

been a few threads on older to current devices

try to get Ok Google to wake/respond, from sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
Odd. My Note 8 screen will turn on and unlock when I say "OK Google". I've only tested this at home though, and I have Smart Lock keep my phone bypass fingerprint/PIN at home. Will try later somewhere else.

Wait, I just noticed on Smart Lock setting that there's a section for "OK Google detection". Maybe you have yours turned off? Say "Smart Lock" to Bixby or go to Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Smart Lock>Trusted Voice>OK Google detection and turn on the two options there ("say 'OK Google' at any time" and "Trusted Voice")
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gronimo21:
I've been using Bixby and everything seems to work OK and if she has a hiccup I help her with it (trying to build my pay points lol) but yeah try with Bixby and see if there is a difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:
is this with the stock launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
I'm using Nova Prime.

However, i switched over to stock launcher, TouchWiz /Samsung Experience, and it was working fine.

As stated in previous threads (in past) you could not

wake device with Ok Google.

Yes with the Note 4 or previously you could.

With Note 5 etc it was suddenly not possible.

(Samsung ?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Yes , when i tested it Smart Lock was off/not enabled ,but configured .

I don't use lockscreen ,

as phone is in a case .So Smart Lock won't work

OK Google wake up ,

works overall without lock screen or lock screen with Smart lock enable or not .

Point is ,

that you could not wake OK Google from sleep ( Samsung restricted ?)

Question is ,

what did Samsung do ,that Ok Google works .?

or did Samsung "slip up "/ bug ,that it works.?

and this( not turning screen on ) is the reason why it works fine , but does not/.cannot,turn screen on ?

Maybe later Samsung restricts it again .?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:
there is an option in the Google settings "Say ok Google anytime"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Yes, all my settings are correct.

The option you refer to, I'm aware of, it's enable.

My take on Ok Google waking screen, (which

it had never over past years done) , is Samsung

restricted it in favour of S voice and now with Bixby.

However somewhere they let it "slip" and Ok Google

wakes up from sleep.

My take on this us if Samsung realizes

it, they will again restict Ok Google wake up.

Even though on other handset brands, Ok

Google wakeup works fine.

Just on Samsung phones i believe it's a issue.?

Otherwise my Ok Google and Google Assistant and Bixby is working 100 %.

No other issues with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] peacey8:
I don't understand what your problem is. You're saying it is waking up but not waking up in some circumstances? Samsung hasn't restricted anything on this phone (Note 8) as far as I can tell. I'm able to get my screen to unlock from sleep by saying "Okay Google." The phone unlocks and the screen turns on and goes to the Assistant app as expected.

What exactly is wrong on your end?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:
This is also on my s7,s8. I don't think it's note 8 specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
When I say Ok Google...all I get is a buzz...then a buzz after my command...but no other results. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:
You may have to clear cache of the Google app and set it up again. I had to do that after I installed Nova and turned on the hotword button.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Nice! That worked. Prior to it...I guess if I unlocked the phone real quick, it would give me the answer. But now it just does it with the screen off. Thanks. :good: Now is there a way to get a chime instead of a buzz?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
After setting up voice and resetting data. Google assistant was reset and setup. Now the Screen turns on when I say OK Google. Ok. Worked Once.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mlock420:
I just wish it would by pass my pin and or fingerprint but I understand anyone that may sound like me could say ok Google and get into my phone....but it would be dope if I say ok Google and it bypasses locks because it knows my voice specifically
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
I'm not just talking about Note 8.

The past few years, on on previous Samsung

devices, you could not wake Ok Google from

sleep.

There were quite a few threads (over the years) discussing this issue and how to "fix" issues.

It was obvious from previous thread discussions that Samsung had something to do with phone not able to wake from sleep. (Restricted?)

Otherwise Ok Google worked fine.

I can recall the last Samsung device, that could do this

eg. waking from sleep and responding to commands, was my Note 4.

In my case with Note 8, Ok Google works fine, waking from sleep and responding to commands..

However my screen lights up, but does not turn screen on.

Screen stays black, but Ok Google working fine.

I'm looking to see if other members have a similar

issue /experience, with Ok Google waking etc, but not turning screen on.?

On your side,

it seems like you got no issues with

Ok Google turning screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Yes i agree.

It's not just Note 8.

I had this issues since Note 5 days.

This is why i maintain Samsung

had something to do with it (over the years)

Maybe as result of Knox and security issues.,who knows?

But now on Note 8,

Ok Google is able to wake from sleep again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:
Try clearing the cache of the Google app and setting it up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Yes, this is my current situation.

Ok wakes but doesn't turn screen on.

I feel if we could pinpoint reason?

Ok Google would be 100% perfect again!!

Bixby i only use for simple commands

Screenshot, Go Quick Settings, show

Notifications, show last sms, show last email etc.

Ok Google, well yes, i use it for most

of my navigation, to send sms,

Phone calls, Traffic reports etc (whilst driving via Bluetooth car radio) . The best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Did that, no luck.

What's next

clear data and set everything up again.

Bit of a "mission" (time consuming)

But then Google Assistant is worth it!

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Hooray.....

Got it to wake from sleep and turn screen on.,!

The reason i was struggling was that i had Edge lighting enabled.

Switched Edge lighting completely off (Settings)

and working 100%

Thanks to all, that contributed in this thread.

Post entry,

I enabled Edge Lighting again.

However, as i had Google

and Allo, enabled in Edge Lighting,

i switched Google and Allo off.

All is now working 100%

Ok Google, wakes up and turns screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] danon.brown:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] windycitymichael:
Unlock with ok google

I think I figured it out. First, I have trusted voice turned on. I did notice that it is a problem with the edge lighting. However, I disabled Edge lighting both for "google" and "voice search". If you only disable one and not the other, somehow they trigger each other to turn back on. With both of these disabled in the edge lighting settings, my phone unlocks and goes right to the Google assistant app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bstarr3:
I have had no luck with this on my Verizon S8. Tried toggling edge lighting, aod, lock screen, Bixby voice, and clearing cache for Google app. If the screen is off, it does nothing. Works fine with Bixby, so I know it's not a hardware issue. Any other suggestions? This is the one missing feature from this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shinral:
s8, ok google detection doesn't work when screen is off. I tried with trusted voice, bixby wake on, off, vocal password, edge light on and off, no luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] globen:
You can't have battery saver mode on either as Google voice will not turn the screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Techvir:
With s8 I got it working very early on with screen off but then it stopped working.. Was never able to make it work after the initial few weeks .. However worked well with screen off...

WIth note 8 it is working fabulous..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pk56:
Not really, I'm on OP5 and I'm trying REALLY hard to make it work when the screen is off, trusted voice works fine when screen in on but device is locked, in fact no one has yet been able to get through it except me---security is not an issue

The point is that, the option that you guys see in your Google app settings,

I don't see the same one,

My option doesn't mention the "even if the screen is off" bit ??? nor the part of "while charging"

I think Google is also discriminating devices here

Through my research, I've found that this works PERFECTLY (100%) on pixel phones ?

Plz let me know if you guys find a workaround that would apply to Oneplus too

Currently on Nougat, have some hopes with Oreo but not much

I've tried the apps that keep the screen "always on" but that didn't work very well

-one extra click of the power button and the screen turns off

-Ok Google is detected instantly if the device was locked recently, but after some hours, screen doesn't wake, no response but the recognition ding is heard

-battery life reduced by nearly an hour

+Got some great screen on times (19 hours best) ?

±A glance is enough to check the time, no touch, no buttons
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Overall my OK Google wake up etc, is still working smoothly ( from sleep ).

I personally think the only reason why that it's working ( from sleep ) is due to voice wakeup that's connected to Bixby functions ( Samsung ) .

If you look on device /settings /apps /system apps you will find 2 x voice 's .

see screenshots ........

1st voice is Bixby voice

and further down you will find another

2 nd Voice wake up app ( however i see it's also got Bixby logo on icon )

Somehow it's all connected and reason OK Google is working from sleep .?

Remember, you can wake device, with cmd "Hi Bixby "

Bottom line

So all in all , it depends on handset manufactures /OEM .....?

that is "crippling/blocking " this function, OK Google from waking their devices ..??

I might be wrong but that's my opinion .

Good luck

Overall? Got it Monday the 18th,not sold on it.

Sure it looks good,feels nice in the hand,but they've kneecapped the phone.Locked bootloader? Only accepts payware fonts from Monotype imaging? I've got 14 days,but as of right now I'm leaning towards sending it back and lighting up the Note 5 again.

MOAR has spoiled me over the years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] demetrios3:
My Note 8 is arriving today and I'm expecting the bootloader to get unlocked sometime soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Wind_Driven:
I'm not overly optimistic about that happening anytime soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] demetrios3:
I sure hope it's soon.

I miss MOAR Nougat v1.4 too, and before that I thought I'd miss Fre3 Hybrid De[Odex] v2.26b on my Note 3.

But MOAR made getting over Freeza's ROM easier and I've got no doubt the same thing will happen here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Goat1378:
Fre3 Rom for life!!! Loved that rom on the N3. And with cerj themes it was matched by none.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Over all I do love this phone. Sure bootloaders locked which means no custom roms at this time. But for real... I'm getting pretty decent battery life , can de-bloat unwanted apps, themes from Samsung are good enough for me. I got no lag with Nova and the phone is fast. No real complaints here other then Navbar in the way and hard to get to when in messaging. And that's just me. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Are we to understand that Sprint went the way of others (i.e. AT&T) and locked the boot loader down on the N8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lp894:
I love it. My only gripe is the form factor. I LOVED the form factor before this 18(.5):9 form factor. It's not for me at all. I mean.....i'm DEALING with it because ANY phone I get is going to have it. It was between this and the v30 since it's rocking the OLED display now.....but went with this due to the pen. Been a note owner since the 2....and the way I have to stratch my hands to access the top of the screen or "shrink" the screen with the triple home tap....idk. Just wish it was more "palm friendly". OTHER THAN THAT.........is it legal to marry electonic devices? LOL! I knew I'd like it anyway. Its just an updated version of the Note 7 except that retarded location for fingerprint scanning. but hey...i'll take it lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jdrissel:
Often my hands are full when I need light... I am sure most of you can relate.

One of the things I have tried to do with previous voice actuation systems was get the flashlight to turn on and off. As a fan of both Arthur C Clark and Harry Potter, of course I wanted to use lumos and nox for those commands if I could.

With Bixby, it worked almost perfectly until yesterday. Now Lumos searches for "limos". I though I could fix that with another quick command limos -> turn on flashlight.

But that does not work. Even with a quick command telling Bixby to turn on the flashlight when it heard limos, all that happens is some obviously paid content pops up.

It appears that paid results can disrupt your quick commands.

Samsung, if you are listening, disabling my quick commands to make a quick buck is not acceptable. Take the $, but make my command work too! Split the screen if you must, but when a user has created a quick command, DO NOT JUST TAKE IT OVER FOR A COMMERCIAL.

Other than that, best phone ever...

I just got my free fast wireless charger and free 128GB microSD today. So my love has increased.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jpwhre:
Wow. My htc devices never did this. I just hit 15% battery. It's 4:50 pm on Sunday. I pulled it off charger yesterday morning. Every htc device I've ever owned (all I've ever owned since window 6) never last a single day.

My galaxy tab 4 7" I've had for over 2 years, I've seen go over a week, but it hardly gets used.

If only unlock bootloader was available in developer options, and Samsung had a developer's website like htc where they give you the tools to unlock bootloader and practically all the tools to root. That part makes me regret getting this device. Considered returning it and getting the newer crap htc is force feeding us (only reason I switched, they lost touch with users)
