Is anyone else notice that the voice typing on Google keyboard stopped working? When I text someone, sometimes I'm lazy and hit the microphone on the keyboard and just talk and let voice type put the words in for me. The latest update moved the mic to a popup and it doesn't do anything anymore. Only affecting my droid maxx. My nexus 7 seems fine. Sent Google a few complaints, but haven't heard back yet. Nothing I've done has fixed it yet either. Rolled back several apps and haven't had any luck fixing it yet. Anyone heard anything?
Update
Found setting to fix it. Not sure how it got changed but fixed it.

When you are in typing mode, there should be a notification to switch input methods - choose that. Choose "set up input methods". Put a check next to "Google voice typing", then go back (or choose "Google keyboard").
This should put the voice input key to the left of the spacebar.

you must go to the phone settings, then to language & imput, then check Google voice typing, on the same page, select the menu button beside Google keyboard, check the Voice input key, and your mic button should then show up on your keyboard again.

Here is some screen shots of the menus your looking for and what they should look like to make it work again. Not sure why it changed when the app updated, or if i did something by accident at some point, but I didn't notice it till the keyboard update the other day. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks. Much appreciated!

This is exactly what I wanted how do I get this to be my default voice to text. Whenever I click the button on the bottom left of my keyboard, the mic button, it always brings me to Samsung voice to text. On the Note 5 you are able to hit that button and bring up Google Voice to Text.

My settings will not allow me to change my keyboard preference to Google. Each time I go up into the notifications and change the input there the next time I go to use it it automatically goes back to default. Thank goodness I know how to get to the Google speech to text. It works so smooth and with so little effort

I randomly got this voicemail icon in my notification bar last week. I've used google voice for years now, and I've never switched back n forth or anything. I deactivated my google voice today to see if i could manually delete it, but I'm goign to have to go through 2+years of voicemails to even get to my new ones i think (for the built in vzw voicemails).
anyway, anyone know an alt solution to this....notice the date on the voicemail too. wtf is that all about?

i sure wish there was. i don't think vzw gives that option, surprisingly. but if they even did, i'm sure they'd charge for it
thx for the reply though
aw i finally got it. for some dumbass reason, i thought all my voicemails were somehow cached on vzw side (ya i know..just realized how stupid that sounds). anyway deactivated gvoice & deleted quite a few voicemails until i got to my new one.
sorry for thread hijackin but i have the exact same problem; except its not with voice mail, its with SMS.
I got it when i bought an SMS-ticket for a bus-ride, thing is i sent an sms to a number and was suposed to get an sms back from another number confirming that i bought the ticket and some serial numbers and stuff in it, but i cant find it in my inbox. Although, i have 1 new sms with a red little 1 like the pic, and i have 1 new SMS in the notification bar thingy up top...
at the moment, i have no idea how to fix this, and i've done some reading but cant find any solution. i only have 2400 sms in my inbox atm which should be quite low and not violate some 9300+ bug or whatever that is...
halp pritty plox.
If you are using a custom rom, you might want to back it up using ClocworksMod and then flash the phone back with with Odin3 to stock rom and see if it fixes the problem...............
Did the voicemail message say "Hai it's me! I've built a time machine and travelled back to 1969 to send you a voicemail!!11!. Kthxbai"?

that'll prolly do it. but ahem, i got no custom rom, got 2.2 official, rooted it, fixed some nice theme, some nice apps etc... so any other guess on how to fix it?
discovered that if i delete the message about gettin an sms in the notification bar up top it actually goes away, but if i then enter my sms inbox that still has a red little icon with a 1 in it and then enter a new sms i get the notification about having the sms that i cant read, and if i try to enter the sms thru the notification bar it just takes me to an empty new sms ... just gets wierder :/....

Corners
"4Corners" is an app designed to help you navigate your device and make calls while driving.
The app's screen is divided to four.The special thing about this driving app is that you can control the app in two ways, by pressing buttons or you can just press the middle button and voice recognition will be turned on and then all you'll need to do is to say the number of the corner of your wanted activity.
So lets say you want to get to your phone you just need to say "1" and it works the same inside the phone activity just say the corner of the contact you want to call. It designed like this so you wont need to look on the screen for a long time just press the middle button and say the number of the corner.
In "4Corners" you're able to get to your phone and make calls.
4Corners gets your favorite contacts list, so make sure you have some contacts marked as favorite.
When you make a call or receive a call the speaker will automatically be turned on.
There's also a very simple music player in "4Corners" with not so many buttons so you wont have to look too much on the screen.
Except these two you can get to "Google Maps" through "4Corners"(just make sure you have "Google Maps" installed) and "Google Voice Search" which will enable you to search your phone by voice .(make sure you have "Google Voice Search" installed)

You can tell me your ideas, I would like to get some more criticism.
Found 2 crashes :when going to phone, immediately click previous, you'll get an array out of bounds exception.
Playing music doesn't work at all for me, I hear about half a second of music and then it crashes, before I get to see anything.
Also, it only sees 3 contacts, the one on the upper left is the same as the lower right one. I have 6 favorite contacts in total, but when I press next, it says end of list.

Ok so send a crash report when it crashes so I can check why it crashes.
Regarding your contacts, make sure that their phone number is marked as a mobile type.
You probably see the same contacts twice because he has two phone numbers marked as mobile.

I fixed these bugs and it will be on the next update.
For now the phone will work properly if you'll change your contact's number type so your contact will have only one mobile.
I also recommend to you to go over the information page and arrange your favorite list and edit your contacts as written.

I am using your Waze UP app for Waze users and I love it...
are you still support this app?
Would be nice if you could manage to include a Tasker plugin to make our life easier.
Apart from that the app is working flawlessly.
Nice job.

It's been a while since I used voice to text on my phone (not since ICS). I have a project now that would be much easier with voice to text than typing so I was playing around with it today. What I found was kind of bitter sweet.
I use Swiftkey keyboard and it had me install Google Voice Search in order to do voice to text. It works and is very accurate but it doesn't add text to a field or input area as I speak. It waits until I finish and then gives a few options to select the string that most closely resembles what I said. Well, at least that is how it's supposed to work but in reality, it cuts me off mid word and sentence and usually only after 10 to 20 words. I then have to wait, select the text and then restart it to keep going. Also there is no option to download offline language packs, which will be problematic.
This is not how the voice to text functioned on ICS. I believe it was called Google Voice Typing? It stayed on, didn't cut me off and inputted the text while I spoke. Although I do remember that it was not as accurate. I also remember downloading offline language packs.
I thought it might be to do with Swiftkey so I installed the Google Keyboard but the mic icon on it did nothing at all. Is there a way to get back useable voice to text functionality on kitkat? Can I just flash Google Voice Typing?
Cheers!
Just go and paste apk in priv-app folder and .so in lib folder in your /system.
After pasting them please set permissions using es file explorer as disable all exucitables and disable last two write option.
Reboot and mark the new keyboard as default.

After doing so go to settings of keyboard and select english uk and us both in the menu.
Next time you open your keyboard. You will have an icon on your status bar. To switch to voice typing just click that notification and select google voice typing and you are done. First five or six time it will need a network but later on it will be offline.
Thanks droid_god. I installed the Google Keyboard manually as per your instructions but it doesn't have the voice input icon. Funny thing is that I had the mic icon on the Google Keyboard I installed from the play store, it just didn't do anything accept vibrate when I selected it. In the keyboard settings of the manually installed keyboard the menu and tick box for voice input key is greyed out and says "No voice input methods enabled. Check Languages & input settings." There is no setting for voice input in my system settings, just the Google Voice Search settings which is on.
I suspect that I do not have Google Voice Typing (or whatever it's called) on my phone at all. Is it possible that this should have been part of gApps but was missing? Is it possible to flash just the missing stuff?
Cheers
Yes voice typing is a part of google search app which you get as a widget on main screen when you buy a phone.
Try out this
Go to input method and open settings for google keyboead and there dobthat

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I already had the english uk and us selected if that was what you meant?
Yes and did you check the status bar icon of keyboard when you open keyboard to type.
Just hit that icon and select voive typing
There Is no voice typing option available. The input options are English UK, English US, Huawei Swype, or Swiftkey Keyboard. I don't understand how anything I have done yet could make Google Voice Typing work as it doesn't appear to be installed on the phone. Well if it is actually installed, it isn't in the settings, language and input menu. Is there a way to check, i.e. look for a certain file in system folder?
If you own a kitkat device look for an app named velvet in your priv-apps. If its there then you have voice typing installed. If its not there then i can manage to swnd you the app.
No worries, and thank you. I have 2 devices running on slimkat roms. I'm away for a while now but will check them when I get home. Velvet isn't in the priv-app folder on the phone I am having trouble with, although it is kitkat too.
The velvet app is essential for voice typing i will providd you the link for one

Download the app named as google search from play store and then inmstall it. Reboot your device and you are done now you can use the voice typing.
Give it a try
Thanks droid_god, that did it. The app is just called Google in the play store though. They must have dropped search from the name somewhere along the way. Now to work out why it has so much trouble contacting the Google servers.... Probably just best to download the offline language packs. Thanks again!
Hmm i will be having a blue square and a white g on it.
Thats named velvet in system.of my device and google search in my application manager. God knows is there a hole in google play bag which brought the apps name.
The tread was usefull for me to thank you
I have a NON-rooted AT&T V10 that recently got upgraded to marshmallow. I had a horrible experience (as I have before) with the OTA upgrade and ended up doing a factory reset, but now that that is done it is running very smoothly and the battery life has really been good. But that is not what I'm here for. Now that everything is running well I thought I'd try to see what options are available to me in this new version so I went online to see what "hidden" menus were available.
I found this one: *#546368#*900# (900 being the model of AT&T's V10) It brings up several tests you can run, but also a "SVC Menu". After going in the svc menu there is an option at the bottom called "VoWiFi" which I thought looks interesting. The value at stock for the item in the menu: "Wi-Fi Calling toggle" was "-1" (which doesn't make any sense to me). Since it's obvious that this should provide me "voice over Wifi" I decided to try it since the service in my 2 story house is pretty bad in the corner of the basement where my office is.
After setting the value to 1 I've made a few calls and found out that indeed this does seem to work! but only when I'm in my basement with limited service (1 bar). The Wifi icon adds a plus symbol to the icon and I've made several calls now and on the dialing screen on the "Red End" icon there is a wifi symbol right above it presumably meaning you are calling using VoWiFi?
I haven't seen the documented or talked about anywhere so i joined this forum asking you guys if you can both confirm for me that I have this correct, but also to share my find and hope it helps someone else. Also, should this work for SMS/MMS as I've seen mentioned for the VoWiFi standard??? In the texting I've done so far (also very bad service for texting) It may indicate that it does. Interested to know from you guy/gals what you think?
I'm very excited about this - Comments/Thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
Very cool! Definitely one of the reasons to upgrade to the 6.0 update, but I prefer root instead. Cool though!
Can't root due to company policy...otherwise I Very much agree and would in a heartbeat.
This was great until I rebooted my phone and now it doesn't work anymore. Any idea how to fix it?

They do show back up again after a factory reset, but they still don't work. It was nice while it lasted, would be great to get this feature back again, but oh well.
I've been using this pretty regular. I just have to go back to the menu and toggle it off and then back on and it works.

What is the process you are using? Turn it off exit then dial the code again and turn it on again, or what?
Sent from my LG-H900 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes I dial the code and toggle it off. Wait a few seconds and then toggle it back to on. Several days and it's worked doing just that. If the phone reboots or runs dead, just do the code again and switch the setting off then back on. Until it is permanently activated by AT&T this is what seems to be a work around.
