OK Google detection options grayed out (sometimes) - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On every rom I've tried so far, the OK Google voice command sometimes works from the lock screen, sometimes not. When I go to check the settings for voice control, the"Always on" and "Personal results" are grayed out and obviously I can't use OK Google from the lock screen. But then sometime later the options are back and no longer grayed out. It works when it wants to and I have no control over it.
Is this a known bug? Or is there some custom rom setting that's interfering with voice detection? Very strange.

I thought it depended on whether the device was charging or not

No it doesn't. The Nexus 6 has the always listening feature like the Moto X. It's just weird that's been broken on 3 different roms.

Anyone have an issue where the 1st time you initiate the okay Google command that it brings up an unsuccessful web search? I have to initiate it a second time and it works. If I uninstall the Google search update everything works fine. Only when I update it do I run into this issue.

try wiggling these toggles? might help?

Actually yes, I have done that. But it's only a temporary fix. I don't see why, after wiping my device 3 times, and it still keeps happening. When I switch roms, I make sure to do a complete wipe from twrp (factory reset, then advanced and hand select wipes except internal storage, then wipe cache and dalvik before reboot into new rom) I don't understand why 3 different roms have the same issue.
At this point, I'm so happy with Candy rom that I can overlook this issue, but it's just nice if everything would work as intended.

Moto Voice no longer functions

After the recent Moto Voice update in the play store, my Moto Voice no longer works. When I go into Voice options, it won't let me check the Launch Phrase checkbox. Anyone else getting this?

So I was looking into this on my phone. I disabled the launch phrase and then it seemed like I was having the same issue that you were having. After selecting the launch phrase option again, to turn it back on, I had to wait 5 to 10 seconds or so for it to actually register and check the appropriate box.
Have you tried enabling and then waiting to see if it registers? My guess is that there is something going on in the background when enabling moto voice that is causing the delay.

I tried this and it still wasn't working. Then I rebooted and tried again, and it worked! There was about a 4-5 second delay like you said, but it came on. Thanks for the tip!

Was having the same problem it seems to be an issue with a buggy update to Moto Voice. I went to Settings>Apps>All>Moto Voice and hit "uninstall updates." That seemed to fix it. It installed the update again and it works correctly this time.

[Q] N6 won't restore from google play store (new flashes)

Whenever I flashed a rom from for my Note 2, after a wipe, google would give me the option to restore from a previous device backup.
No matter what I do, I can't do this with the Nexus 6. Makes flashing roms a lot harder, having to add the apps manually and all passwords, etc. It still wants to restore from my Note 2! Don't even have the option for N6. Had the phone three weeks.
Yes, I have the proper boxes check for back up to Google.. (I think)
Anyone else having this?
Maddening..

Yes, I have both checked. Unless their is one buried 10 levels deep or something else obscure.
Backup my data is checked and Automatic restore is checked.

Same problem here. Posted a similar thread. Keep seeing backups from my note 3 and none from N6
I think I figured it out...
The ROM I use Defaults to MetroPCS as the carrier.. no way to select tMobile (my carrier) until after the setup
When I go to google play store, it says "tMobile Nexus 6"
So I'm guessing it's the ROM not finding the career correctly and labeling the phone as such to the first run in google play during setup.
Again a guess, haven't tested it with a different rom
Is there a way of forcing the "new phone app download" after the initial setup was run?

[Q] Fingerprint Issues

I tried setting up my fingerprint and get this error. Phone is up to date, tried factory reset, clear cache, and rebooting like it says. It is still broken. I called t-mobile, and the tech said it is a known issue and to wait for a patch. If it is known, has anyone else here seen this?

I've gotten same error. I've stopped using the fingerprint security for that reason. I've noticed it doesnt recognize my fingerprint all the time.
Just seemed buggy to me, its like i have to place my finger carefully in the similar manner i did when setting up the fingerprint.
A someone who has worked on fingerprint scanners of all kinds, while it could be a samsung issue, it is also possible the fingerprint scanner is not picking up your fingerprints if they are too shallow. This is a common issue. This can actually happen.

Are a couple of easily googleable instances of this.
The best suggestion is compare to someone's working fingerprints as a way to be sure its the phone and not your fingerprints. Hope that helps.
This happens as soon as I press the fingerprint button under Security settings. I can't even attempt to register one.
Yeah sounds like a hardware issue. I'd get an exchange

Get it replaced. My iPhone 6 had the same issue and Apple said it was a faulty sensor. Those things are very touchy.

Incorrect (broken) text on Account Sync Page

For some reason, the text on my account sync page now looks like this. I'm not sure what caused this.
I'm running the latest stock ROM 5.1 , system version 23.16.3 RETEUALL, build number LPE23.32-25.3
Phone version: XT1092
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
Things that I've already tried:
1. Clearing cache partition.
2. Changing font size.
3. I use Nova Launcher, tried to change to Google Launcher. Still not fixed.
Try changing from military time back to 12?
I'm grasping at straws too lol.
Do you have the toggles to the right? I notice mine is on two lines rather than just one.
Just to confirm:
This is settings then accounts then Google then click the last sync time to see that screen.

Yes, that settings. I don't have toggles to the right because I use manual sync, I've disabled the "Auto-sync data" checkbox.
If you don't mind, can you try to disable your auto-sync and see whether your text is also on one line?
Previously my text was on two lines even when I disabled the auto-sync.
Thanks.
With it turned off I still have everything on two lines. But I have an xt1095 so maybe there is something different
What version of google do you have? I know it's old from the icon in the picture. Have you tried updating the google app?

Just updated it today, now it's version 5.4.28.19.arm with the new icon.
The problem is still there. And I've checked other account like Twitter and Whatsapp, the text is also on one line.
It seems this problem is caused by latest OTA. Other user with XT1092 also has the same problem.

I'm on Tmobile. Don't have that screen. So maybe it's in the settings somewhere of your carrier?
Not on my Sprint variant.
Anyone has this problem or can suggest something? Anything? It's killing me.

You could start by providing more detailed information. What carrier? What third party apps do you have that relate to contacts/phone?

My phone is Verizon but I use it with T-Mobile. I've looked up all the apps that has access to my contacts and draw over apps and didn't find anything unusual.
I use truecaller but that one has it's own notification.
The picture I attached in my first post shows what is really bothering me
I have Verizon and don't get this
Well finally after a lot of research and tracking apps I finally found what app it is. It's call (efing) reminder app. That is a part of bixby I guess.
Flashlight
Plagued me for 2 weeks and removed apps one by one. As others suspected, it was a flashlight app. It's gone now. App has an icon that several apps use, so I don't remember precisely which one. Not going to reinstall one to be sure. Light House Inc has this icon.
Its App Backup and restore. Uninstall that and the annoying after phone call popups are gone
Had same problem. After uninstalling app backup and restore, everything fine.
I also had same problem but solved it by uninstalling "Bestie".
I also double checked it again after installing and uninstalling again.
Hope it helps.
App backup & restore fix
Hey everybody. I came across this thread when I was trying to fix this issue on my phone. I saw that nopers said if you uninstall the app it will go away which I'm sure would definitely work. I wanted to keep the app tho so this is what I did:
Settings>Applications>App backup and restore>Permissions>slide phone and SMS off
This worked for me on Samsung Galaxy S7 so hope that helps anyone looking for a solution.
