[Q] Okay, Google, Now...? - Moto X Q&A

I thought this was the only phase it would follow, if I say okay only, it opens the search...or just okay google. Maybe google now? it is becoming a problem as my phone was on this morning on something searched I had not as it was on charger all night. Was randomly popping up seaches yesterday too. Anyone have this issue and know a way of resolving it? Makes me afraid for USC to get the 4.4 update...Thanks in advance.

Ever since camera update and gnow update to take OK Google from search results my motox has been super sensitive. It will go off from nearly anything. 4.4 root.

Ever since I took the I 4.4 ota from Verizon. The touchless control has also been crazy sensitive too. It goes off all the time and I don't know until she says 'the command canceled'. Not sure it a factory reset would fix it but haven't been willing to try that yet. Any ideas what else might fix it from being more sensitive?

Not sure what to do but its terrible for me too on 4.4. I'm going to have to turn it off. Keeps going off all the time.

I've been having the same problem, phone will be in my pocket or on my desk and I will randomly hear "command canceled"
Its very annoying and happens several times a day, and nothing even close to "OK Google" is being said.
Seems to be a fairly common problem so hopefully a fix is in the works

Try retaining the okay Google now command. It's important to do it in a quiet room and hold your phone at arms length.

I have read other posts here claiming that saying the training phrase more slowly helped with it accidentally turning on.
(I've had no problems myself, still on 4.2.2 with the camera update)

I've had it turn on watching a trailer for a movie. Restarted the trailer and it popped up again in same spot.

I've only had one "accidental" fire...
That's in quotes for a reason... My son and I were cooking on thanksgiving... My phone was in my pocket... His nexus 7 was displaying the recipe on the counter...
When the pie went in the oven...
"OK Google, set alarm for 30 minutes"
Nexus acknowledged the command and I told my son to come get me when the Alarm went off.
Obviously, he didn't need to... My phone's alarm also went off.

That's the odd thing, mine worked perfectly on 4.2.2 as well but ever since the upgrade to 4.4 it goes off randomly.
Of course I've tried retraining the phrase several times but it seems to make no difference.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app

Yeah that is what's strange cuz I'm on 4.2.2 obviously since US Cellular hasn't got 4.4 yet. Even completely stock besides unlocked boot loader. Have used FXZ's in past week or two in order to lose root. Wondering if I should try a data and cache wipe. Not sure but today was actually pretty good without random searches.

unresponsive screen

sometimes when doing things my screen becomes unresponsive and i have to lock it then unlock it for it to work.... grrrr. iam running brokenout 2.0.1 on zv9..... any suggestions?
That's a revolution/gingerbread thing, it happens to all of us (some more than others) at some point. Different devices respond differently to certain roms and apps there's really nothing you can do about it.

I've gotten the same thing a few times since I put BO 1.1 on my phone as well. It never happened before then. It could just be a coincidence, though.
Do what i did and get rid of that p.o.s. lol. I called verizon and got mine replaced with a droid 4. Some people got a razor, spectrum, bionic or incredible.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
Better get used to it since you'll have that problem until the day you get rid of this "phone"
I just flashed BO 2.00 and it was happening more often. I just installed the patch hopefully this helps.
Revo #4 isn't even 24 hours old yet and the thing has rebooted twice. Screen in unresponsive plenty... Hell, the screen wouldn't even respond OOB. Vzw is sending me a Droid 4, can't wait.

Popping noise when unlocking screen?

Has anyone heard a popping noise when unlocking the kindle. Its happened to me a couple times now. Wonder if its software or hardware issue. Thanks

Of course now the volume level seems much lower. I hope they fix this issue soon since it doesn't sound nearly as good without Dolby. I sent amazon some feedback on the issue. Hopefully everyone else who has this issue will let amazon know.

I get this on occasion on my rooted fire HD. It was getting me worried that there was something wrong with mine.
I had the same problem in class today. My volume was turned all the way down, and I also had it in air plane mode. It didn't happen every time I unlocked the screen... maybe four times out of ten. Enough to be very annoying

I am also getting this and in fact returned my original device for that, screen bleed and one other thing that was specific to me. Unfortunately the 2nd one is doing it as well.

Touchless control issues?

From the time I got my phone about once every few hours touchless control activates for no reason nothing remotely close to "OK Google now" is said. Since the update in the play store it happens around 4 times an hour, even to loud indistinguishable noise In a bar. I've tried uninstalling an reinstalling touches control to no avail, as well as re recording the phrase. I'm on stock, us cellular model, ota applied, rooted, unlocked boatloader, any one else have this problem, or a fix?

I am not experiencing the issue you describe
Sorry you are having that issue. FWIW, I am not experiencing any issues like that so it sounds like something is definitely wrong with your hardware. I would try re-flashing the stock rom to see if that helps. Sorry I could not be of much more help.
I would like to avoid reflashing stock if possible, I've spent countless hours setting this phone up, I've gone 10 days without a flash ha I don't want to fall off the wagon yet even if it is just stock, I'm an ex flashaholic
Sent from my XT1055 using xda app-developers app
When I first got mine it was doing that, because I just had the launch phrase as 'OK Google', and it got a lot of false positives.
I had to wipe my phone for the update, and since I rerecorded the phrase it hasn't falsely come on once.
Try saying the phrase slower.

I'll give it a try,ha it's getting excessive

9kracing you are a genius, re recording it very slow seemed to work for now, and it still responds when I say it fast
Sent from my XT1055 using xda app-developers app
The shorter the "activation" phrase, the more prone it is to false activation. I successfully programming it to activate off of " hey moto" but it was going off all the time in my truck while listening to the radio. "OK Google" was much better, but still regularly activated during normal conversations with friends. "OK Google now" is the best... It may trigger once a day while having conversation with friends or family, but that's it.
What do you currently have it trained as? I would first retrain it, if that failed, then uninstall the update and reinstall, again If that fails, wipe cache and reinstall the update to touchless... All else fails, back up your apps and data and restore to stock then restore apps/data and set up touchless again.
Good luck

I can live with some false positives, but my problem is that when they happen, screen gets to sleep, but stays Unlocked, meaning that any touch on it within my pocket starts calling people and such. Anyone else with this problem? Is there a way to relock/protect screen after using touchless control?

I was having false positives five times per hour that's why I made this thread, but I got rid of all false positives by recording the phrase super slow, haven't had a single false start in over a week

[Q] A Random Act - "Custom" Lockscreen

Hey S4A folks,
Haven't been in recently except now that there's news of 4.3 coming out, I've been reading up on it as, to date, I cannot download it yet.
I used Active root on MF3 when I first got the phone but have unrooted since. Here's the odd thing, tho...
The other day, my phone made a long tone/vibration. When I pulled it out of my pocket, the screen said Samsung on the top, on the bottom was a lock icon that could not be moved, and the word "Custom" was either above or below the lock, but I forget which.
I'd never seen that on any Galaxy phone I had and was wondering if anyone knew what it was.
Thanks.

[Q] Speaker Turns on when making call

Hey all,
I recently (2 months ago) got a brand new HTC One. It's been great so far, love it.
Only issue I have is last week it started going to Speakerphone mode when making calls and receiving them. All I have to do is turn off the speakerphone to get it back to earpiece but it's slightly annoying.
I've tried resetting the device to no avail.
I'm running on the Rogers network in Canada running Kit Kat.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

I'm having this issue at the moment, occasionally I ring people and the speaker phone is automatically on.
First time it happened I didn't notice and someone answered as I put the earpiece to my ear, nearly burst my bl00dy eardrum!

Having the same issue since about 1-1.5 weeks or so. Using ViperOne 5.5.1 with latest FW and Elemental X 13 kernel.

The weird thing is that i have been on 4.4.2 for a while now via ViperOne and this issue has just recently popped up (or so it seems to me). So not sure if this is related to sense based rom running 4.4.2. or something different.
Well I do feel slightly better that I'm not the only one. But also wished I wasn't part of this so special group. Ha!
After a little googling people seem to think it might have something wrong with the docking mechanism.

Mentioning the dock makes me wonder if those who've looked thru the call settings have looked thru the dock settings to see if there is an option there to open with speaker phone on? Or in the headphone or bluetooth settings. My feeling for looking in these places is that if for some reason the device thinks it's connected to one of these devices that could be changing it's behavior? Anyway, I don't think I'm having this issue but I rarely get calls and usually when I do I use speaker phone, but I'm also pretty sure that I'm having to turn it on also.
HTC replied to someone on Twitter to boot into recovery and clear cache who also had reported the problem...they showed instructions on how to get into stock recovery and do it. I'm wondering if anyone can try that. Either stock or custom recovery.

I'll give it a try today and get back to you on the results.
I know a full reset doesn't do the trick so it's worth a shot.

So far so good. Tried calling home and my voice-mail and it didn't happen. It doesn't necessarily start up right away however so I'll have to keep an eye on it. I'll respond back here when/if it reappears.

So i guess this is a general sense 4.4.2 issue then and not custom rom, kernel, other specific. Strange that it seems to only start after a random amount of time as i deffinately did not have this issue for quite some time after upgrading to 4.4.2 based rom.
