Probably the One Ring awoke when Gandalf threw it in the fire in Frodo’s house. Remember, Gandalf touched the Ring before without any concern on the effects such touch of the Ring would have on him. But after the Black Speech appears on the Ring, Gandalf does not dare to touch it. He even uses something else to pick it up from the fire.

Maybe when it was in the fire, the spell awoke again after thousands of years in sleep thanks to the flames… It is from that moment when Sauron is more drawn to the Ring than ever before… When Frodo puts the Ring 3 times and Galadriel feels him… What do you think?
