Hey everyone, I'm having an issue that I did not have previously on my Nexus 6.
When I say "Okay Google" to my watch, the Google Assistant on the phone pops up and both listen, or my watch cancels.
I've remedied the issue on the Nexus 6 by disabling the always listening feature.
On the Pixel/XL, if I disable the feature in Google Now > Settings > Voice > "Ok Google" detection > Say "Ok Google" anytime, then when I say "Okay Google" from the home screen, I am prompted to set up voice recognition to learn my voice, and the endless cycle continues. So this does not work.
I have hit the "later" button, press home, and try again. The prompt appears.
Is there no way to disable the always listening "Ok Google" detection feature when the screen is off anymore?
Thanks in advance!

bump. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone find a fix?
Depending on watch you can disable touch wake and motion gestures to prevent the watch from being on and listening I have both disabled on my lg urbane I don't have this issue

I manually wake the watch and say "ok google". The problem is not with the watch, but with the phone.
(I have an LG Urbane as well)

Is there a way to stop the "OK Google" from appearing when you wake your watch face? I don't like when it covers my customer watch face.

Use it a few times and it will go away. It needs to feel wanted.

I tried to use hot word "Ok Google" 5 or 6 times. For example I said:
Ok Google, definition google
Ok Google, definition watch
... ...
After that, "Ok Google" disappeared completely. Just use it several times and it will understand that you've already known how to use it and it will disappear. It's logical.
Right after I posted this, it stopped showing up. Thanks for the reponses. Now is it possible to change "OK Google" as the activation key word? I feel weird shouting "OK Google" at my wrist.
In case anyone else stumbles upon this thread in the future, the current "best" solution (requiring the Android Wear 6.0 update) is to disable the microphone permission system-wide (on watch: Settings > Permissions > System permissions > Android Wear > Microphone).
Hi everyone, is there any way to activate the google now "ok google" detection with screen locked (like nexus devices)? It would be really useful to use phone "hands free" in car!
Thanks in advance
Go to google now settings, enable "ok google" detection from any screen and trusted voice. Go to settings/display/lock screen/smart lock and make sure trusted voice is enabled there.
Now plug your phone into car charger or power bank and you're good to go. "OK Google" on lock screen works only when the device is charging.
It doesn't seem HTC enabled the "OK Google" listening when the phone is off nor when the screen is on. I use that funcationality a lot and was wondering if anyone knew a way to turn it on manually? It seems it's disabled in the Google App.
I'm able to use "ok google" when the screen is on, but not when screen is off. I think that is kept for Nexus devices? Make sure you check "From any screen" in google voice setting.
Yep, this is not a function that the non-nexus phones do, with very few exceptions.
I still get assistant popping up (the get started screen ,voice training) Everytime I say "OK Google " when the screen is on . I would like to totally turn it off and just use assistant by holding down home screen button. Still listens after I go into Google settings and turn off hotword detection .

Skynet is always listening
Stop saying "OK Google"? It's not like you accidentally say that phrase

The point is that it's still always listening

Check out Google history. Not talking browser but the actual google history. Has all sorts of stuff I said in there :silly:
I had to reboot my phone for it to take effect. I saved more battery!

I just checked my history and it only lists what I said when long pressing for Google assistant, I thought you meant it was going to list every conversation I had while phone being next to me lol

You can turn it off

Because you're in Google! That feature can't be turned off.
The hot word detection is for when you're in a different app.

Unlike more recent phones (like say my Nokia 8) I am UNABLE to get my trusty daily driver, the P2, to wake up when the screen is off even though I have "Voice Match with Screen Off" activated in the Google Assistant settings. The screen HAS to be on (pressing home button, double tap, etc...) for the "OK Google" command to work and then it will correctly unlock the phone with my voice.
Has anyone found a workaround for this (forcing microphone to stay on somehow? or am I maybe missing an obvious setting on the P2 ? Thanks !

It can only be done with screen on however, you can activate google assistant in screen off when your phone is being charged.
ok I suppose that's a limitation of our older phone...Actually I think the "listen while charging" option was the old "Ok Google", the Google Assistant doesn't have that anymore as I can tell.

Older phone? Nah, keeping mic on all the time costs battery and and this is dependent on the manufacturer and chipset which decide the features set. Droid Maxx was even older phone but it had that feature because it had a separate low power core for listening to OK Google Now.
Right, it's just that now most (all ?) phones would have that enabled.
I couldn't find an app to force the MIC to stay on but with "WaveUp", you can wave your hand above the sensor to turn on the screen and then use "OK Google".

And this is perfect explanation.
Is anyone really willing to be monitored by Google all the time ?
