A comment on Google’s new voice recognition system works instantly and offline (Pixel only).

At the risk of being downvoted, any Pixel users enable "Hey Google" recognition on their phones only to regret it?

I'm constantly dealing with the phone interpreting commands intended for a Google Home speaker, which sometimes results in both the speaker and the phone acting on the same command. To my dismay, there's no way to disable Hey Google recognition on the phone after it's been enabled.

Perhaps someone here has run into this issue as well? It's a huge pain point for me.

You can register different trigger words, or at least you used to be able to. I had my phone wired to OK Google and the Home wired to Hey Google. Wasn’t an issue once I made the distinction. I no longer have an Android so I can’t comment on this still working. If you have external parties at your home regularly, that would obviously complicate things.
