any way to get spell check to work with the h/w keyboard?
I would like to know this as well

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but maybe it will work in substitute?

It adds predictive text to the physical keyboard. Not quite spell check, but could be used as a substitute.
Edit: Hmm, just realized this might not work super great since it was intended to install on the droid... Some of the market keyboard applications have settings for predictive text using the hardware keyboard. If you google around for it, you can find them.

Thanks for reminding me of this.
I haven't used this solution in a while, as I didn't need it on my Nexus one.
But I did use it on my G1. It's a decent on screen keyboard too, but the hardware keyboard protection makes it killer. Lots of skins available too.

Wanted to bump this back to the top.
Is there a way to turn on spell check with the physical keyboard? Settings > locale & text seems to have no effect on the physical keyboard settings.
Just download smart keyboard pro. Great keyboard and has exactly what you are looking for with hardware suggestions. Highly recommend

Tried this -- it only works if you tap the text area once after the keyboard is out. Unless there's some setting I'm missing, I can't get it to work right away. It's super annoying and has been uninstalled. =(
Google Voice Typing (I think that's what it is, the little mic button), its extremely irritating because when i accidently click the button on the sense keyboard it comes up and throws me off, i will never use it. Is there any way to get rid off it, preferably without rooting? I have tried disabling it in the apps section, but this results in the Sense keyboard not opening and working properly
Help please!
*Also this is my first EVER forum post.. weird i know, but tell me if ive done anything that forum users like yourselves deem as not right; thanks.

Your first post was fine as far as I know there is no way to remove the microphone button but I use the stock ICS keyboard and I believe you can.

Same here, i asked the same question, always hitting the voice key so either use swift key or the ics keyboard from play store.
Cant get to grips with either of those either though.

Thanks guys
Or you also can disable the the voice search in settings- apps - all and reboot, then you will have keyboard without the Voice icon.
Or you could give voice typing a go, it actually works really well! if i'm by myself i always use it over the keyboard since its much faster and less effort
Thanks ck, did that, good enough fix for me! And i have tried it, its just abit extravegant and i can text really fast, but thanks anyhoo

I have battled with this problem as well. I am using Google Keyboard, and am very happy with it.
Today I found a decent workaround:
In Google Keyboard settings, there is a setting for "Voice Input key", under which you can either move the little mike button to the symbol keyboard, or remove it altogether.

I tried Jelly beans on my Galaxy Nexus couple of days and paired it with my BlueAnt S4 (Bluetooth speaker phone). Whenevr I tried to make calls after pairing it with BlueAnt, it will not use Voice dialer but was using Google speak tool. Which is very poor in understanding your commands. Where as voice dialer in ICS was very superior.

You can use cyberon voice commander from play store but you must first disable google voice. It will give you very reliable voice dialing but completely shuts down all of the google voice commands as well as google now. For me, I chose cyberon but voice dialing is a very high priority. I'm pretty sure that someone will come out with a fix that will let 3rd-party voice dialers coexist on jelly bean.
Would cyberon shut down the GPS voice too or take it over?
Thank you

Thats a good question. I haven't used nav yet. If it does you can always enable google search for your nav session. I'm anxious now to find out.
Please let us know, I truly appreciate your help.

No problem, apparently the voice does work with google voice disabled. You can't however use your voice to give it your destination.
Jawbone Voice Dialer
I am currently using a Jawbone Era on my Galaxy Nexus running stock rom of Jelly Bean 4.1. I am trying to get the physical button on the Jawbone to activate Google Now/Voice Assistant instead of Voice Dialers. I tried installing the app in my talk that is suppose to work but no luck. Is there a setting in the os to switch the default action or an apk to download. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I've tried the 2 or 3 apps that would work to make these changes under ICS. I don't think any of them work under JB. Hopefully the new underlying is just different but still accessible. I think we will know fairly soon now that JB is getting out.

Thanks for responding. I'm no developer but I would think that this sort of thing should be in a settings menu somewhere. I'm surprised that it is not. Changing defaults like which apps to launch upon an action should be user level functions. Just out of curiosity which apps were you using in ICS?
Does anyone know where the defaults are stored to be reset or changed in Android any version?

Media Button Router and bluetooth launch. Actually I may have used them prior to ICS because I didn't need them. Must have been Gingerbread.
I think your going to have to be a developer this time to alter the defaults and I have a bad feeling that it may not be doable this time in a stock rom.

Thanks anyways. I will keep on trying. I said I was no developer...but still no stranger to programming Just never needed to mess around with Android OS usually it does everything i need no trouble. Symbian however was a different story. Hopefully someone will see this post who is much better than me a tweaking OS's and put an option into one of their Roms. (Hopefully android 4.1.2)

I deleted the reply because my instructions were for deleting the google voice commands. "Google voice" is a google phone app that is a completely different thing.

Yes, I wanted voice dialer to work with bluetooth becuase Google search is a very poor tool. It does not understand even a single command where as voice dialer in ICS was great. I don't care about Google serach. Voice dialer merge with Google search is a step backward from Google.
Hi
Anyone know how to tell Swype Beta to use google voice instead of the fire "Dragon Dictate" as Jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way Ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when Im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

Jaytt was asking about ways to tweak it to do so, not whether or not it would officially support it.
Swype is not open source correct?
If not, could one develop an app that overlaps the voice button on Swype provides that launches Google Voice instead?

Maybe you can try KII Keyboard. It's pretty good but it doesn't have the shortcuts. It uses Google Voice though. Check it out!

If one likes Swype but HATES the terrible predictive speech recognition of Dragon Go, yes it does matter.
That being said, I guess we can't do it, so thanks to the poster who brought Kii to our attention; it'll do, though it's not as fluid as Swype for keyboard swyping.
Temporary Solution
Sorry that I'm a little late getting in on this thread, but I have a temp solve.
(Disclaimer ... for anyone interested: I, too, use Swype, religiously, because it is way faster than any other gesturing keyboard in Android - I type a lot of text, using a Note 2, and Swype is constantly helping me break all my speed records. Dragon, however, is a pain, for one, because it is not as stable as Google Voice, often giving me grief when connectivity is sporadic; but also because the software is slightly more bloated than Google Voice, causing the annoying "fade in" graphical interface which drags down on its listening response time. This lag is noticeable when you are "Swyping" at 80 words a minute when transitioning to speaking texts suddenly takes 4 times as long as "Swyping.")
Sooooo...
A temporary solution (despite the extra key presses) is to...
1) Long press on the text window
2) Select "Full Editor" from the pop up menu
3) Tap the "Google Mic" icon
And that's pretty much it. It is, unfortunately, an annoying solution, but for me, it's working faster than Dragon on the average. Hope that helps someone, particularly JoeyDVDZ

Joey,
Appreciate it, but I don't believe that this will work on many devices. I think it is dependent on what program you use for SMS/MMS as well....

Try this:

Just pull the notification bar down when you have swype up, and choose google voice typing.

This was bugging me too - but then I actually tried google voice typing...not so great so far, but i'll keep trying
this trick doesn't work for me... maybe it is not for CM10?

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
(I've posted a similar message in the S4 section. Since these are two of the most popular devices, I'd like to see if, and how well, it works on them before pursuing it further.)

Yes, it's built in to my Nexus 4, but it's not as good as Swype at getting the word I want. I've tried them all, and I always end up coming back to Swype. Google's voice typing is better than Dragon Dictate, though, so this is the best of both.
There is a way

there is way but you must be rooted and have xposed installer installed, there will be this app called googleofflinevoice. Download it and restart then just double click on the dragon go icon and google voice will appear. Have fun!
I have been doing hands-free voice dialing using Google search until recently, It had audio prompts, so no messing with the screen while driving was needed. Then for whatever selfish marketing reason, Google eliminated that functionality in latest version.
From titanium backups, I reinstalled 0301240 which works OK, Play store had updated to to 0303110, which treats it like any other search and requires more input - some from the screen. I have looked for settings to try to get it to work as in the previous version with no luck - any suggestions here?
In the meantime, I have it (and one other app- (modded wallet) detached from Play Store, so it can't sneak in the update when I am not looking - but a more permanent solution would be welcome.

No interest apparently in this basic function. It amazes me to see massive posts on battery icons but none on a safety function.
Maybe it's because the average XDA'er doesn't drive. Or there phones are so wacked out that this function doesn't work anyhow. I use my Kenwoods touch screen and phone app to make /recieve calls.

lol - you are probably right.
I just find voice dialing only keeps my eyes on the road and I feel more comfortable that way. If they drive they probably also text when they drive - so why use hands free dialing.
What I was looking for was a way to keep play store from continually trying to update Google search. Removing that link with titanium does not survive a reboot.
Your right, the only way would be to bake the mod into your rom so that if you reboot it will stick.
