And… you may find it mildly entertaining to watch folks on YouTube try to demonstrate this in real time, whispering words into their phone as they open apps and start scrolling.Īs we explained about pixels in our previous post – your user behavior and browsing history are pretty much the backbone of programmatic advertising. Your phone is listening to you and it’s not paranoia. Articles detailing this experience abound… just a couple to mention The interwebs are ablaze with people googling, “is my phone listening to me?” By the time I got home, Robin was getting served ads for something she had never googled, searched or sought out information for. Yesterday in the office – we’re sitting and chatting about MBA programs and the same thing happened. You know that detailed conversation you had with your friend over brunch? Sharing summer plans, upcoming vacations, and what’s not to miss in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? You get home, hop on the couch and pull up IG and *poof* within a few scrolls you get an ad for a local travel spot, flight deals or that pair of must-have fall boots? I can easily turn it back on when I wish to talk to Google.Unless you’ve been living under a rock without a smartphone – yes, we can hear you. Yay! Finally, no stupid interruptions when I had no intention of doing anything but listening to my music files on my phone. (Note on my particular phone, an LG39C, there was no General tab in settings, but I was successful in doing it through the 2nd recommended way through the Google App settings). Tap Settings > Voice > "OK Google" Detectionįrom here, you can choose when you want your phone to listen when you say "OK Google". In the top left corner of the page, touch the Menu icon In case you can’t find the settings, there is another way: That’s it, you have successfully turned OK Google off. Under the "From the Google app" option, move the slider to the left. Under "Personal" find "Language and Input"įind "Google voice typing" and tap the Settings button (cog icon) I searched found this unanswered thread, and now have found the solution at another forum, from which I paste: #Iphone listening to me for android#
I was having same problem for a long time, very frustrating when music is continually interrupted by Google App I did not wish to use at present keeps freezing everything and demanding I say something.īut as much as Google App for Android seemed my enemy, Google Search on regular computer is my friend. Curious if anyone is having a similar issue. Not sure if this is a design flaw with the Zenpad, or simply a faulty jack, but its extremely annoying. This does not happen when using TRS (no mic) headphones. Same thing happens if I apply the slightest pressure on the part of the screen that sits directly above the audio jack content is paused. Tested with Samsung and Motorola headphones with TRRS setup, and result was the same - any background noise or slight movement of the connector in the jack causes the content (audio or video) to pause. The problem occurs with any/all headphones that have a microphone and therefore have the 4-conductor (TRRS) connector, regardless of whether its the Apple TRRS setup or the standard TRRS setup.
Unfortunately, after testing with additional headphones, it seems that its not just limited to iPhone headphones. Branching out as I get more and more frustrated with each Apple product I begrudgingly buy to stay in their ecosystem. Lifelong Apple user and the Zenpad is my first android device.
