Recently, when I was trying out Samsung GALAXY S5, I was very impressed that you can just say “Ok Google” on the main menu and it will work. I tried to do it on my HTC One (M7) and as expected, it doesn’t work. Today, I just realized (from another post) that it is so simple to activate it. Want to learn?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are the steps: –<\/p>\n
\n
Go to Google Search App<\/strong><\/li>\n
Do a search on “Ok Google Everywhere<\/em>“<\/li>\n
Go to settings<\/em> on Google Search App<\/strong><\/li>\n
You should see “Ok Google” Detection<\/em> option.<\/li>\n
Select “Ok Google” Detection<\/em><\/li>\n
You should be able to see “From any screen”<\/em> and “From lock screen”<\/em> option.<\/li>\n
If options are not selectable, you might want to change the language to one that is supported.<\/li>\n
Select one of them will lead you to an agreement page.<\/li>\n
Select “Agree”<\/em> after reading it.<\/li>\n
Train your device to understand your “Ok Google” command.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
That is it. You can say “Ok Google” anywhere on your device now. Try it!<\/p>\n
Update: You can check your settings in your Google Search App first. The option might already be activated. As for Android 4.3, I could not see this “From any screen” option after following the above steps.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n
