Anyone figured out if it's possible to have the phone listen for "Ok Google" while the screen is off?
I have voice match turned on to unlock the phone, but only seems to work if the screen is already on, kinda pointless.

[Q] Always On "OK Google" Hotword detection on phone doesn't co-exist with Moto 360
Hello,
I've searched high and low for a resolution to this issue but I can't figure it out. I have a nexus 6 on the latest 5.0.1 and the Google search APK that was just released today. I also have the 5.0.2 update for my Moto 360. Here is the issue.
When I turn the "Always On" hotword detection ON on my Nexus 6, when I try to use my Moto 360 to perform an "Ok Google" action when the Nexus' screen is off (or on, it matters not) both devices activate their voice recognition and they cannot process this. The little infuriating spinning icon appears on both the Nexus 6 Screen and the Moto 360 and nothing happens. Both devices are stuck.
Does this happen to anyone else? I really want my 360 to be the active device when its screen is on, and the nexus to be the active device when the 360 screen is off but it seems that this is not possible.
Does anyone else have a problem with this?
I guess as this is a design flaw, everybody suffers from this.
I can only guess, but it didn't occur to the guys doing the design, that the phone on the desk and the watch on your wrist could be a valid scenario. Put the phone in the pocket or anywhere else, and the problem is solved, the answer would be...
Now that we have the full google now settings back how can we setup "OK Google" to work from the lock screen when the screen is off? I know others had this working before we lost settings but try as I might I cannot get it going. Currently it is working from every screen including the lock screen but only when charging.
As far as I know, it won't work with the screen off and not plugged in. The moto X can do it bedbugs l because moto dedicates a low power core to handle the listening. I don't believe Google now listens all the time due to power consumption. Samsung would need to dedicate one of the 8 cores to an always listening and even then, I'm sure it would only be available to S voice.

First of all, thanks for the answers. To remove any doubt there must be in the settings of Google app an Access with voice match section. There should be the option "even if the screen is off". Can you confirm that one?
There's no "even when screen is off" option
It's strange. When the screen is off and the smartphone is not charging, if you say "Ok Google" then the screen turns on?

From the screenshot above, it looks like the always on far field microphone is lacking from this phone. Without this microphone, you cannot trigger Google Assistant through the "Ok, Google" keyword when the screen is off.
Just to be clear, Google assistant can't be triggered when the screen is off on the A50, you have to wake the screen up for it to work.
I have two phones both running MiUI 11, an MI6 which will only 'OK google' voice unlock when the screen is on and an MI8 which will wake when the screen is off. Does anyone have am MI 9 SE and can tell me if the 'OK google' voice command will unlock/wake when the screen is turned off ? I'm thinking about buying an MI9 SE as I prefer smaller phones.
It will not work with screen off.
