Hi all

As per the title above! This is a must have feature for me and short of keeping up with every Android device release, is nigh on impossible to keep track of. Does anyone know if such a product exists?

Many thanks

I don't know of any android phones that would allow this by default, but if you have a samsung galaxy phone and a Gear 2 Neo, you can use S-Voice via the smartwatch without touching your phone...

From another forum... again for a Samsung phone...

"go into the S Voice app and select "Settings" and then "Open via the home key". I also selected "Voice wake-up" and "Wake up command". In other words the only way to do this is to wake wake up the Note 3 while the screen is off with "Hi, Galaxy" and go from there."

Not tried this myself.

Edit: found this app on google play...

I don't want a different lock screen to the one that's already on the device (referring to a Moto G here specially), I just want a way to get access to the voice controls from that lock screen, such as a long press on one of the buttons etc.
 
Have you had a look on the XDA Developer forums, to see if there are any custom roms or workarounds for your model?
If not, might be worth asking on there..

TBH I'm not really interested in messing around with custom ROMs etc. I really just want an option to turn on voice control on the lock screen. I want an out of the box experience.
