Anyone experience this at all? I have tried everything from wiping cache and resetting my phone. I cannot get the voice synthesis to respond. All of my settings are right. I have gone all through my online good account to see if I maybe inadvertently unchecked something....i'm not sure what's going on, but it's aggrivating me! not that I use this all of the time, but I do ask it the times and weather in the morning while i'm trying to peel myself out of the bed! Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? my media volume is turned up...the languages are correct....i'm just at a loss...thanks for the help, if there is any to be had.....
 
so I have sort of found a solution on my end...I put my daughters google account of my phone just to see if it made a difference and it did...under her account, with google now, it worked perfectly, talking back and everything like normal, but when I put my account back on my phone, google now stops....So what I did was I began disable some of my google account services. When I disabled web and apps under activity control, it began to work like normal, but when re-enabled, it would quit. I deleted everything off of this, but it still wouldn't work, so i just left it disabled....Give this a try and see if it helps.

No. That isn't the issue. Power saving mode had no effect either way. The problem is in the google account itself somewhere. I did a factory reset and linked my google account. OK Google voice still didn't work. I then did a factory reset on the phone and didn't link to my google account. OK Google worked fine with selected UK English voice. I created a new google account and it still works.

Thanks for everyone's attempted help and input on this! It is appreciated!
