I purchased a cheap Plantronics Bluetooth headset and pressing the voice search button did not trigger Google Now on the Moto G but it did on my Samsung Galaxy S4. I then used a Jawbone Era which triggered Google Now on both the S4 and the Moto G. Therefore, I'm in search for a cheap Bluetooth headset that triggers Google Now from the headset button on the Moto G. Does anyone have such a Bluetooth Headset?
Hello, I've got the LG G3 D855 on Lollipop and I recently bought a Motorola Hint. It's a great headset and works on every phone i've tried it with except fully for the LG G3. It doesn't seem limited to this bluetooth headset either as I've tried multiple and they all have this issue. It seems that when touching the headset button (the one for ending calls etc) it doesn't do anything on the phone. On other android phones it starts up google now or allows you to choose what launches when pressed, but on this phone it doesn't seem to even register. It does work however when in a call to work for answering and ending but it doesn't register when not in a call. It seems as though the phone doesn't pick up anything when pressed, it even works on an iphone to initiate siri and every other android phone but no my G3 though I have heart it works fine on other variants which allow to launch either google now or 'voice mate' , and by the way voice mate isn't installed anywhere on this phone either,. Also, when using google now normally by opening it, audio runs through the headset but not the microphone for voice input, this only works on calls. I would root the phone and put another rom on it but you also can't root the G3 which is running Lollipop before being rooted also aha.
All very confusing I know, but would love to know if anyone else has this issue or know how to fix it!
Thanks

Exactly the same issue with my phone. I have been trying all afternoon (in vain) to get the phone button on the headset (Sena SMH5) to do anything. Similar to you, I can answer calls/end calls but in an idle state, the button does nothing. I called LG support but would have been as well not bothering as he suggested a "compatibility" issue as my headset is bluetooth 3.0, the LG G3 is bluetooth 4.0. I advised him that this was also the case on my previous Samsung S4 and that had no issues so the issue must lie with the G3 and in any case, bluetooth should be backwards compatible. I have also tried the bluetooth launcher app (which didn't work) and various other apps (utter, voice command,dragon) all with no joy.
I get the impression that the function is somehow disabled. The quest for a solution continues.....
LG G3 UK version running Android 5.0
Similar functionality got broken on the moto g by an update to the google/google now app. A rollback the apps to stock fixed it until moto released a patch. Worth a try?
Somewhat of the same issue got a jabra head set and my d852 does not respond to media buttons like changing tracks or play pause buttons
Same here with D855 lollipop V20h-EUR-XX and Jabra Motion. The Jabra Motion is able to launch Google Now with all my other phones.
same here with plantronics voyager legend.. call button does nothing..any workaround now?
I've noticed that with only my Moto Z2 Play, neither of my cars will automatically reconnect with the phone via bluetooth. Both cars have worked just fine reconnecting with my previous phones, and with my wife's iPhone. But with the Z2 Play, I have to delete the saved connection, and reestablish it every single time I want to pair. Is this a known issue, and are there any workarounds? Thanks.
No problems here on a Lexus and Audi
It happened to me for about 3 times in the past one month, but I just reboot the phone and it will work again, never did re-pairing.
But I do notice some bluetooth audio jitters with the car stereo and my bluetooth speaker at home, never had any issue with previous moto Z and Z Play.
