Okay Google Not Working!

August 7, 2016August 7, 2016 Ryan Gralinski

I’ve seen tons of posts about okay google not working on android. I tried all the suggestions and just could not get it to work at all. It always worked before I upgraded from 4.4 to 5.0. If you are having a similar problem where you cannot even train your voice for the okay google recognition do this.

I’ve used tons of different apps that use multiple home screen shortcuts with no problem I’m surprised they have not…
