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.

I was on a quest to replace the crappy vlingo voice dialer with the stock google one and noticed that when I long pressed the search capacitive button it will FC any application in the foreground. Is this an issue with all phones or just with the mods that I've done to my phone? As and aside, is there any way to replace the vlingo app when using a bluetooth for voice dialing with the stock google voice dialing app?

Well if you have the lockscreen mod that's probably the culprit for the FC. There's a setting in the lockscreen settings that allows you to assign the function of long press search button

OMG, I didn't even notice that function. Thanks! lol.
When you first long press the search button, it asks you whether to use google out vlingo. I picked google as my default, and forgot about vlingo till today.

The problem I was having was with the lock screen mod because it was remapping the longpress to an app that didn't exist.
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?

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.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Go to settings, language and input, in keyboard and input methods portion, click settings icon on the right of your selected keyboard, uncheck vibrate on key press.

Thank you so much, was going nuts trying to figure it out
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.

Anyone know how to get voice input on the LG Keyboard? I have added it in the menu but the handwriting pencil appears instead. I do not want to use LG Voice over Google TTS. I hope there is a way to activate this because I kinda like this keyboard.

I have no microphone under after pressing on the gear, that's the problem.
I have checked with another keyboard (Swiftkey) and the voice input works like a charm! So my problem obviously comes from the LG Keybpard itself... But what??
Anyone??? :crying:
