pocketsphinx - wake phrase not detected until after I see this log entry

[BeanStalka]

After pocketshpinx is ititialized, adn onpartialresults is being called, i NEVER get a detection of my wake phrase.

I only get detections after this appears in the log. : 06-14 13:58:44.111 D/PocketSphinxWakeWordEngine(24773): PocketSphinxWakeWordEngine.ICMURecognizer.OnPartialResult hypothesis is null 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): INFO: cmn_live.c(88): Update from < 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 40.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 10.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 10.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 0.00 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): > 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): INFO: cmn_live.c(105): Update to < 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 34.46 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 24.14 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -30.59 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 30.97 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -22.49 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -10.33 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 6.45 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -23.75 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 14.94 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -21.74 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -7.53 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): 16.41 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): -14.18 06-14 13:58:44.446 I/cmusphinx(24773): >

I am assuming that this is pocketsphinx adjusting to the ambient noise. But what can I do to have this occur quicker or have it start off in the right state?
