[Q] How to completely disable microphone button in the keyboard? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I disabled google voice typing in the settings, but that checkbox just keeps turning on by itself after a hour or so. How to completely disable that annoying icon?

Did you try this? Settings --> Language and input --> Android Keyboard Settings --> Voice input key --> Off

Not trying to hijack the thread but do you also know of a way to disable the smiley face button on the stock jellybean keyboard? I always hit it by accident.

The only way I know of would be to use a custom messaging app. For instance, I'm currently using an inverted Mms.apk that lets me choose between the smiley key, send, or enter for new line for that button. However, I don't know if that's what you want since it still doesn't let me disable that button.

keyboard vibration

Hi guys
I cant remember if I had this done before but isnt it possible to turn the vibration off when the keys are pressed in the dialer? I do have the KB Mod but all options for the keyboard feedback are switched off, but it still does it
any ideas
Press and hold Menu until the keyboard comes up, tap the settings icon.Now select Text Input and uncheck the Vibrate when typing option.

Ah yes you are correct, it only turns off vibration for the Keypad and not the dialer, i shall keep looking
EDIT: Yep, that kinda sucks... even by turning off the Haptic feedback and Vibrate on keypress only affects when you use literally the keyboard like typing messages even if the description of the Haptic feedback feature says that it is also applicable to certain UI interactions. It would have been good if the dialer were included in the interactions. But the truth is the dialer seems like an another story, which I think it is a bit weird.
Once full root access is available, hopefully we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

Aye, it's a little annoying though and I too would like to find a way to have it's function disabled
As mentioned above, I think once full root access is available hopefully, and if it is made available for the Desire, we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

Mic button on CM9 stock keyboard?

I have the mic enabled on main keyboard and voice input installed form market. But for some reason i don't have the mic button on the main keyboard. Anyone have similar issues? Thanks in advance.
Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard settings > Voice input key > [x] On main keyboard.
Think you also have to uncheck "Show settings key".

No luck. I guess I will have to download a 3rd party ics keyboard if I want that feature. So frustrating it doesn't show up when selected.
Not sure what to say. I uncheck the box and it goes away. I check them both and I get both buttons, check just mic and it shows just mic...

Not sure either. I'm on CM9, maybe that has something to do with it. Going to flash something new tomorrow just to see if that's it. Thanks

Yeah, Sorry, I'm on stock 4.0.2. Maybe its your ROM.
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I was running Dooderbutt V7 and the mic button showed up no problem. I just flashed CM9 and no mic button. I have everything checked off as needed and voice input installed ??????

Disabling Stock Keyboard

This has probably been asked before, but is there a way to disable the stock keyboard in ICS? I just switched to using the new Swiftkey and the little pop up in the notification bar is driving me crazy.
I went into Keyboard settings and unchecked the Selector Notification...but for some reason, it still shows up. Anyone know how I can make this go away?

If you are running stock, no. But some roms have added it as an option to remove that.
good day.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid. I disabled the notification indicator...but it still shows up, probably because the stock keyboard is still enabled.

You can rename or just delete system/app/LatinIME.apk and if you don't use google voice typing then untick it in language and input.
good day.
Just disable the stock keyboard in applications...
EDIT.. Once you disable "Android Keyboard" in applications, you have to reboot.
Google Voice Typing is still an option though.. so you may have to disable that too if the notification appears.
Second edit... after unchecking Google Voice Typing... the language selector is no longer there.

This may be a little late, but regarding the Galaxy S4, if your phone is rooted, you can find an App Manager app, or download ROM Toolbox, and you can go find Samsung Keyboard, and either freeze, or uninstall it, I chose to freeze it just in case I ever had to use it again, I downloaded Swiftkey years ago and that little notification icon has been seriously bothering me

4.2 Keyboard Voice button

Does anyone know what happened to the voice input button in the new 4.2 keyboard? Seems to be gone and I can't find a way to bring it back in the settings.

There is no voice input key option in neither Google voice typing settings nor in the Swype keyboard settings.
I'm talking about the actuall android keyboard settings above the Google voice typing

These are the settings I have on Language and Input
"Google Voice Typing" Only settings in here are "Blocking offensive words" and for downloading speech recognition for when offline.
"Samsung Keyboard" Here I can check off "Voice Input" to "Show voice entry button on keyboard" but I am not using the Samsung Keyboard
"Swype" No settings here to enable Voice button.
Above these settings I can set Default keyboard and Language. Just went through the rest and didn't see a voice input button. Do you have the 4.2 keyboard with the button on it?
I believe that you tap/hold the setting button next to the space bar. I was also able to get to it by pressing the Settings button next to the Android Keyboard in Settings>Language and input. You might have to select Show settings key there first.

You need to make sure you have Android Keyboard installed. None of those you mentioned are exactly the same.

[Q] what happened to voice input?

Is there voice input apart from S Voice? I have tried a couple of other keyboards (including, of course the Google keyboard) and there is no mic icon to be found. I have scoured the menus, including the developers menu, finding nothing that would enable voice input or voice typing. Really perplexing and frustrating omission of a feature. I am running rooted and stock. Any ideas how/if it can be done? Thanx.
Samsung Keyboard has the Samsung Voice
Swype has it's Dragon key for voice input
You can also Select while typing Google Voice Input (not really a button but it is not really a keyboard either).
sorry, I don't understand...

Are you saying there is a way to get voice input? I do not know what the dragon key is. ?? I do not understand your last comment either. Sorry if I sound like a doof or something. I am fairly adept at setting up these phones but this issue just eludes me. Could you explain it to me like I was a 4 year old?

Yes.
You can select whatever keyboard you have loaded by selecting the keyboad symbol when you swipe down from the top.
Four Images...
1) Samsung Standard keyboard has a mic button
2) If you load Swype, they have what they call Dragon Talk which is the flame looking key on the right.
3) If when selecting input device (The keyboard at the top) and select Google Voice Type, you get
4) which is ready to listen to your text. It's not really a keyboard but can be used regardless of what keyboard you have selected.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply with attachments. I just downloaded Swype/Dragon and surprisingly the voice input works! However I still have no 'mic' button in Samsung or Google keyboards. Strange. Any ideas? I am happy to use the Swype but I would like to figure why that feature is not working in the other two keyboards.

make sure voice typing is selected in language and inputs under your settings.
on your keyboard if you have a 3rd party keybard to the left of the keyboards space bar (the one with the 3 lil dots on it) hold the button down until the button shows more options. One of them is the mic. the button will default to whatever that last selection is.
I get what you're saying...
The problem is there is no selection in settings to activate voice typing. Also on the Samsung keyboard, pressing the button to the left of the space bar only yields the options shown in the screen shots below. Again thanks for your input and assistance.

Oh in that case, you need to install Google search, will automatically install the voice and GNow features.
Thanks
Yep, that did it. Thank you. Pretty lame that this isn't a feature of the OS itself, but hey we're talking Google... Thank so much to all who have contributed to the solution.
