I was able to install gboard on the GW4, set it as the default keyboard, and now have access to a REAL keyboard and with a real voice to text! (I can't believe Samsung's crappy keyboard is still T9). The only problem is that after a while, using the mic will result in "Initializing..." forever. With trial and error, the only thing that fixes it is reinstalling it and/or rebooting the phone. Haven't had enough use yet to know which it is (have had the watch only 2 days so far).
Anyone else install gboard and having success with it being reliable for voice-to-text?
Works OK for me GW4 Classic.
Hello, I would love to have gboard but for now there is no possibility to have qwertz, correct? Also, why is there not the same amount of languages available? I have qwertz+Slovenian on my phone but I cant have it no the watch... or am I missing something?

You're missing something. There is qwerty keyboard with Gboard and also at least two languages, same as phone, press and hold space bar to change it.
This changes input voice language ass well

I agree but suggestions are nice but they are not available for my language...even though they are available on the phone...
I'm afraid that gboard for wear is missing a lot of languages. Greek for instance. I installed the keyboard, set it as primary but cannot install Greek language support. In my phone I have Greek as a second input language.

Today it did it again. Tried to use gboard mic and "Initializing..." forever. I checked Bixby mic and that didn't work either. This time I woke the phone (Samsung A52 5G) to look to make sure it was paired, it was, then the watch suddenly worked with gboard mic again. The mystery continues...
I have the same problem. initialization .... the microphone does not work after a while I have not found a solution

Well, at least I am not alone. Thanks for posting.
There are often pauses with "inititalization..." that only last a few seconds and then it works. That is annoying, but not the problem I am complaining about. It is when it says "initialization..." forever and no amount of waiting helps.

If you need qwertz you can change language to Czech - they have qwertz, it works for me
And this morning it is doing it again. The gboard works with typing. Bixby works with voice. Everything else seems to be working. But if I try the mic in gboard, it is "initializing..." forever again.
Tried turning off bluetooth on watch, waited a moment and turned it back on (full reboot). No change.
Used Galaxy Wearable and disconnected from watch (by selecting old S3), then reconnected to the 4. No change.
Turned off watch, then back on. No change.
Attempted to "kill" Galaxy Wearable on phone, didn't seem to die, perhaps it restarts immediately. Anyway, no change, still stuck.
Restarted phone (A52 G5), using soft reboot option. No change.
Powered off phone, waited a moment, powered it back on. No change.
Went into Store> My apps on the watch and uninstalled gboard, then installed it again (12MB). Then changed the default KB back to gboard. Then it worked again.
So nothing I tried this time helps, except to completely re-install gboard. Crazy. Anyone have any other suggestion to try when it gets "stuck" again (and it probably won't take long for that to happen)?
I would be OK with using Samsung keyboard with its Bixby voice to text (although it is less accurate), except there are times I want to physically type, and that KB doesn't have a qwerty keyboard, making it useless! So I can either use Samsung and have voice but no typing, or gboard and have typing but ususally no voice. So very frustrating.

Not gonna lie, I find it mildly infuriating that some Google apps (GBoard, Keep) would not work properly with Google's own OS (unless of course Samsung's skin has something to do with it).

Yep, it is already stuck again on "initializing..." forever. Sigh.

I have the same issue and used to uninstall/reinstall Gboard to fix it. While the problem isn't solved, on Reddit, i found what i think is a better way to restore voice typing whenever you lose it:
On the watch, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Permission Manager -> Microphone -> Gboard -> choose "Ask every time".
Then trigger Gboard by composing a message in a relevant app (i.e., Messages etc). Click on the voice typing icon. You should get -- "Allow Gboard to record audio?" -> pick "While using the app"
This should fix the issue, at least temporarily.

Thanks, I just tried that and it works. Interesting. It isn't an easy work-around, but it is easier than reinstalling gboard each time. I wonder if it would work better to just answer "ask each time" when it asks for permission? I will try that approach the next time it gets stuck (which won't take long).

You're welcome. For what it's worth, the problem only reoccurs for me whenever the watch is restarted (including restarts caused by updates). If i don't restart the watch, then i don't lose voice-to-text. As soon as i preform a restart, it stops working and i need to do the work-around again, which lasts until the next restart.

This is great, I wonder if there is some sort of similar fix for the endless syncing of Google Keep? Also, if users can find workarounds like this, why the heck haven't Samsung and Google fixed the issue??

I can't confirm that here. I am pretty sure I have not restarted the watch since the last time the mic was working and when it stopped working. I will pay more attention to that and report back.

Every time I try to type anything, whatever app I'm using immediately crashes. This happens no matter what keyboard I use (I've tried Samsung Keyboard, ICS Keyboard, and Hacker's Keyboard). Any idea what's going on?
Are you rooted? Are you using a custom rom? Have you tried rebooting? You might want to try a hard reset.
I would say about the same: are you using a custom firmware and then, did you wipe properly?
I had some random and inexplicable issues on my 7", with a custom rom, I had to wipe cache and data a second time, with no tangible reason. It was just totally messed up.
I've noticed the same issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3

Hi Maca, all
My first post on xda, apologies for too much reading.
Maca> I wonder firstly has your issue been fixed, or has this issue re-occurred for you?
I've noticed a similar issue on GT-P5100 Android v4.0.3, (os received via the standard channel), device not rooted.
I've experienced two such occurrences. Each time I have performed a factory data reset, being the only way that I could get things working again. I've been using the Hacker's keyboard as my default keyboard during both of these occurrences. After the first occurrence, the issue re-occured after a week.
My desc of the issue: When a text field is clicked on to enter text input, the application will force close. The text input cursor does not show up, nor does the keyboard. The app goes unresponsive momentarily then you see the force close message. This not only happens in apps, but also occurs for example in the Android Settings -> Security -> Owner information (text field), and anywhere that you would like to type. The device becomes useless at this point.
After the issue occurs, I've tried disabling the Hacker's Keyboard, and then using the stock keyboards, restarted the tablet, but these don't rectify the issue.
I've just reinstalled my apps after factory data reset, including the "hackers keyboard" in the hope that I can gather more information leading up to the issue, and perhaps fault find post event, should I be able to repeat this.
Any input highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
96b

I had same issue with my 3110 on the 4.0.3 ROM. Device was not rooted, no new app installed. In my case I resolve it by factory reset.
I had been doing a great deal of tinkering trying to get my phone's battery life back in the last few days, and I made good progress, but I severely jacked up something related to the microphone/speaker/video recording.
PROBLEM:
The problem, as far as I can tell, is that every app that tries to access the microphone can't do it--this shows up when I try to use Google voice input in various text fields with a little "Can't reach Google at the moment." Same with trying to do a search by voice in Google Now--brief brief flash of the microphone red, then back to gray, with "Can't reach Google at the moment". Additionally, my Touchless Input cannot be enabled--the box has automatically unchecked itself, and pressing it makes the button get a little gray, registering the action, but no checkmark will appear.
Additionally, other apps which would use the mic don't seem to have that functionality--Evernote, for example, would crash if I attempted to record an audio clip. This was before I performed a factory data reset last night--and the problem has persisted regardless.
There are two other, seemingly related, issues. First is the inability of the phone to capture videos. The camera opens fine, and I can take fine stills with it, but pushing the video recording button makes the red "record" flash for a moment before a "Not able to record media" message pops up, and the camera returns to the still photo mode.
Second is the inability to play videos. I have tried playing videos in as many formats as I could try, from within several players, including the stock "Photos", "Gallery", and "YouTube" apps. "Sorry, cannot play video" pops up, or the app simply crashes. Similar story for attempting to play music through the stock "Google Play Music" app. And it gets worse. I can't make or receive calls. Actually, let me revise that. I can't hear anything being said on the calls, over the speaker, or through headphones (though I've yet to try BlueTooth). The call appears to connect, but I can't hear anything from them, and they can't hear anything from me.
So--that's the basic summary of the problem--threefold.
1. No audio input through mic
2. No audio output through speakers--my phone doesn't ring when I get a call, although it will vibrate and the options to take the call appear as they normally would.
3. No audio/video playback whatsoever for other media.
I'm running Android 4.4 on a Droid Mini, unrooted, and I just completed a factory reset last night.
ANALYSIS:
Here's the wrinkle. I know this isn't a hardware problem, because I have found a surefire fix that makes all of this work properly if I absolutely need it, it just sucks. Rebooting into safe mode is what does it. Playback resumes as it did before I had the problem. I can play videos, pump music, and Touchless Input works flawlessly--although interestingly, it has me re-enter the catchphrase three times every time I get into safemode, like setting up from scratch.
My consternation comes from the fact that, to my very limited knowledge, all that safe mode is doing keeping any user-added apps from running. Which is all well and good, but I just did a factory reset. Literally when I boot the phone no user installed apps are running, and yet there's a definite difference when I boot into safe mode, cuz everything works there.
So, safe mode must do something more than just disable user-installed apps--and I need to know what that is if I'm going to fix this thing. I have added 4 apps since then-- App Ops, GSAM Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats, and Button Savior (Non-root), all of which I know from experience to be very "well-behaved" apps.
Anyone know what safe mode is doing besides disabling user apps? Along those lines, does it revert updated stock apps to their factory state? I ask because very, very briefly, while my phone was slowly trying to upgrade the 40-odd pieces of Bloatware from the Play Store, the microphone was working. Which makes me think that the culprit is one of the system apps in it's updated form. If safe mode runs these apps as they originally appeared on the phone, that might explain it. It would also hopefully let me painstakingly disable these apps, one by one, to find the culprit and disable it.
I say culprit because of something I stumbled across trying to research this--weirdly enough, in a message from the devs of Shazam. devs of Shazam They say that the issue has shown up on 4.4 and the cause appears to be one app somehow monopolizing access to the microphone. I could see this breaking the video as well, and potentially the audio playback if, as I assume, Google uses the mic to help tweak the sound of the speakers.
Anyone know any more about any of the aspects of this? I will be posting back myself as I learn more.
What happens if you factory reset without restoring any apps? In other words, factory reset, choose not to restore your apps (or don't attach to a Google account on initial setup, and do it post-setup). In other words, do you have an app that is blocking this access?

Trying this now. Thanks for the suggestion!
Update: Tried this. Did another FDR, signed in to one of my Google accounts afterwards, but haven't updated a thing. The audio/voice/video/bugs seem gone; however, the ****ty battery drain I had before is back. I'm playing around with some settings to find out what can be done. I'm also going down the list and updating the system apps one by one.
Does anyone know a good testing process (ie, should I run the app? do I need to restart after install? run the app and close? etc) that will keep me from getting false negatives (ie thinking an app isn't causing the problem when it is)?
Update again: I'm working down in alphabetical order through the factory apps. However, after the most recent factory reset, it appears that my battery drain is back, and as long as the battery drain is there, the phone works normally. So, not looking good in terms of battery+functionality for me. Went through the 40ish apps that were on the phone stock--after the fresh reset, the phone is working, but the battery life is shot to **** all over again. Not sure what to make of all this, and now back to being frustrated with a 4 hour battery life from the phone that never sleeps. UGH
Update yet once more:
For kicks and giggles, tried unchecking the "Touchless Control" in settings, to see what effect that would have on my battery. But, reasoning that whatever wakelock was keeping my phone up all the time had to be persisting after it was needed, I guessed I needed to reboot to get rid of them. Booting up again, I'm back to battery life without audio/video/etc. Very confused here. Apparently it has nothing to do with the apps installed, period.

Hi,
I am sort of new to this forum and I hope I am posting this in the right place. Apologies if there is a thread about this elsewhere but I have looked online and couldn't find a thread about this issue. It is hard for me to describe in words about the issue I am facing but I will try and be as descriptive as possible
For quite sometime now I find that my nexus 5 keyboard has become extremely glitchy and choppy. I find that the keyboard isn't as smooth as it was when I first got my device. There seems to be a bit of a lag between the time I press the key to the when the characters actually appear. It is very apparent when I am typing sentences in one flow. This is causing too many typos and is extremely annoying. I could, at one time, comfortably type long text messages with hardly any typos. The typos that I get can be considered almost impossible to generate unless you are willingly typing random characters
I am on android 4.4.4 and this problem has existed for the past couple of months. I don't have any custom firmware installed. My frequently used messaging apps are Viber, WhatsApp and Google hangouts. But this issue seems to be there even when I am typing something in the browser
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Have you tried a different keyboard? Like SwiftKey

Hi MasterElaichi and welcome to the forums.
The keyboard that your using for your messaging apps is the same as the one in your browser also... Im pretty sure that it's the Google keyboard by default.
I actually use Android Keyboard (AOSP) instead of the standard Google Keyboard and can switch between the two if I want the the system settings menu.
Couple things you could try-
To start you can go to "System Settings/Language and Input" then scroll down to keyboard and input methods. Click on the settings menu to the right of the Google keyboard or what ever keyboard you have selected. and go through you settings and make sure everything is set to your preference (just by chance somehow the settings have change) and check your auto correction aggressiveness, I have mine set to Modest.
Other than that you can try and and go to "System Settings/Apps/All" then select Google keyboard and clear the Data and Cache. This will wipe you personal dictionary if you have one though.
If the following doesn't work and the Google keyboard keeps acting up, you might want to try an different keyboard all together. Like Android Keyboard (AOSP) or Swiftkwey or Kii keyboard... Just some popular one to recommend.
Hi,
Thanks for all your responses. I have tried swiftkey in the past but I find it weird. For some reason I prefer a standard keyboard
My google keyboard settings are set to the default. I have turned off vibrations and the auto correct is set at modest. I have tried clearing the cache numerous times in the past but that doesn't work either
If I were to type this message using my Nexus 5, it would be riddled with typos and spaceless words. I am talking about typos that are impossible to get when you are in the flow and just typing away. For example, when I want to type "m', the letter "m" pops up, but the character that appears in the text area is either "." or the previous character would have disappeared. Similar thing with space bars. Sometimes pressing a space bar will just create a space but the characters may not appear
I have tried using my phone in safe mode but it helps only a little bit. I did contact the google support centre. As expected, they are asking me to do a factory reset and if that doesn't work they say they will rma my phone
Hi,
I uninstalled apps like Viber and Whatsapp thinking they could be the cause. I have also been running my device on safe mode. The problem still persists
I found this thread online. My problem is quite similar this one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274818
The only difference is that the OP here had an issue with an HTC. The problem appears to be keys that are close together are getting pressed. And I am certain my finger's aren't that fat and stubby that multiple keys get pressed
I don't want to factory reset my phone without exhausting all my options to fix this problem. Any input will be helpful
Thank you
So I have decided to do a hard reset on my phone hoping that would resolve my keyboard issue. I have managed to backup my photos and stuff to google doc. i wanted to back up my whatsapp data onto my laptop but for some reason my laptop (vista) isn't detecting my phone
I have reinstalled whatsapp in the past after removing and I didn't lose my whatsapp data. Do you think a hard reset will make my whatsapp data irretrievable? I am asking because there is an option in whatsapp, when you install it, that asks if you want to back up conversations

if you hard reset and wipe the internal memory then your whatsapp back up will be deleted.
Try and uninstall any keyboard updates you may have done.
I would say the same thing and it would be the first thing I would try, uninstall the updates and data in settings/apps. The google keyboard works fine on my N5 and N7.
I performed a wipe cache partition through recovery mode. There seems to be some improvement but it is too soon to tell
So, simply put, I can't type the letter "e" and "h".
I can type them individually, I can type them if I use an uppercase " E", but if I type e-h (together) they disappear.
It's the oddest thing!
Not a huge deal, but if I need to type a word like beHave, the Eh will disappear, like if replaced by something else. Again, only if lowercase, upper case works.
I've tried changing keyboards. Wiping the cache and data from all keyboards, killing all forms of autocorrection I can find (both the device built in one and the individual keyboards).
And still, that happens.
The thing is, wiping the gboard cache fixed it earlier, but did not the second time. I assumed it was word predictions being synched from Google backup, but with all off, and using a different keyboard, it still happens.
I'm stunned. Does anyone have any idea?
Question. Is this a Chinese origin Honor 8 with English language?
What Is the device firmware and country and what languages have you installed?
US model and using US language (was using Canadian English earlier, but didn't notice any issues).
I've wiped the cache. On everything I could think of that could be related.
I'm not rooted. Waiting for hauwei to put out an update for bug fixes, and then hopefully a better method for rooting comes out, because I'm a bit wary of the current methods.
If you have gboard - google keyboard installed this may be your issue. Both of my US Honor 8 devices do something similar. Uninstall the update for this keyboard and the issue should go away.

I've gone that a try, I've unsintalled it (well, returned it to stock since you can't uninstall/disable it) but it still keeps happening.
I just changed my system language to the country i'm from and reverted back to swiftkey which fixed it.
Tried changing to swiftkey (which I don't wanna use, but tested anyway)
And changed both the system language, and the keyboard language back to Canadian English,
And same thing happens, I'm completely stumped.
I would go ahead and wipe the device, but this stopped for a while and then came back. Meaning that if I do that, there is a chance the beHaviour will occur again.

Download a clean copy of the stock ROM. Maybe the copy you have is corrupt.
Well, I can't really. There is no full ROM for the L14 because Huawei sucks.
Regardless, this only started happening maybe a few weeks ago, and this device hasn't been rooted for a while. (It was on marshmallow, but I'm waiting for bug fixes before I re-root for nougat. C'mon Huawei, 2 years of updates, right? Not feeling there love. Don't think I'll buy another one at this rate.)
Here is a long shot, that you may want to try. There is a small chance that the combination lowercase "eh" has got into your personal dictionary OR in the "learned" words dictionary that Gboard creates automatically. (For example a wrong spelling of my last name had got into the "Learned" words store on my phone. and even when I typed the correct spelling, it would automatically get replaced by the wrong spelling - which puzzled me quite a bit until I deleted it). Go the Language and Input settings, and within that into each of the Keyboard Settings menus (if you have multiple keyboard - Gboard, Huawei Swipe, Swiftkey etc) and clean/delete words from your personal dictionaries or the "Learned words" dictionary (Different keyboard may call this differenty - such as "Learned Words" or "My Words" or "User Dictionary" etc). This may help
Thanks but I suspected that may be it, I checked all the learned words and it's not there.
It's some Huawei bug which apparently other people have had as well.
I'm gonna try wiping at a later date, when I have some time. If the bug comes back I'm just gonna buy a new phone. I'm sick of Huawei not fixing their bugs.
I often get a popup that says Samsung Keyboard keeps stopping Close app
The only thing that works to get me back to being able to type is to go to my Gboard app and select, for the fiftieth time, the English language keyboard. Sooner or later, though, I get the annoying popup again and can't type anything until I do the Gboard thing.
Looking at some solutions online it seems maybe I need to clear a cache. But the following instructions, which are repeated in various ways in different sites/videos, don't get me anywhere.
settings
Applications
applications manager
Scroll over to ALL
Scroll down to Samsung keyboard
Clear cache
clear data
restart from home screen
Why? Because going to Settings doesn't get me to "Applications" but rather to "Apps" , and when I go there, there is no Samsung keyboard. Just Gboard. I just cleared Gboard's cache, don't know if I should also clear its data - what do I lose, really, when I delete its data?
Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue after I hit the Emoticon Icon. I installed a secondary keyboard and am using that currently.
Hopefully someone has help, it happened to me after a Verizon update on my Galaxy s6!

Which keyboard did you install? Are you enjoying it? Can I assume it stopped the problem?
Thanks!
I don't use the Samsung keyboard but this keeps popping up and I can't type anything. My phone did an update over night last night and now this problem. I'm at my wits end with what to do. Nothing is working and I can't type anything.
"samsung keyboard stopped working"
I had that problem after pressing the emoticon button too. I don't even use samsung keyboard. I did the clearing the cache, forcing stop, clearing the dictionary cache...none of that worked. Finally I reinstalled the google keyboard and the message went away. It was a frustrating few hours of trying different things!

Keyboard keeps stopping (possible fix)
Hi all,
I did this and it seems to be working so far:
Apps->Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard-.>Samsung Keyboard->About Samsung Keyboard (at bottom)->
At this point my phone stated that Samsung Keyboard had an update available. I tapped on that message, and it updated the keyboard.
After that I was able to tap emoticons without a problem. So far, so good. texting works, and all my message apps seem happy.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks very much for this - fixed my Mum's phone which was crippled by this problem and I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to sort it so a big relief this worked.

fix worked but menu sequence wrong

This updating seems to have worked to fix the problem on my S6 also. Thanks a lot.
But the sequence to get there was slightly different. On my Sprint/Galaxy S6, the sequence was:
Settings>General Management>Language and Input>Virtual Keyboard>Samsung Keyboard>About Samsung Keyboard>Updates
