On stock 4.3, it's at:
Settings > Language & input > Google Keyboard (settings tab on right) > Voice input key > Mic on main keyboard

This is happening to me too on 4.4 KitKang and its driving me nuts. If anybody has a fix, I would really appreciate it!
EDIT: oh, I found it! Right when you go into "Language and Input Settings", you gotta check "Google Voice Typing" along with the AOSP keyboard.

WiFi trouble!

Hey everyone, so I'm in stock jwr66v and my WiFi is off in settings. But it is still using battery power as well as GPS shown in the screenshot. Would this be kernel related or ROM?

copied from pcmag site because I don't know the correct translations from dutch menu -> english menu:
Fire up the Settings app and tap your finger on the Wireless and Networks option. Tap on the Wi-Fi option, and then tap on the Overflow button on your phone's screen (the triple-dots icon). When this submenu pops up, tap your finger on the Advanced option. From there, you'll want to make sure to check the "Scanning always available" option if you want to participate in the new Android 4.3 feature. Otherwise, if it's checked, you need merely to uncheck it to ensure that "Wi-Fi off" really means "Wi-Fi off."

I did that, but thanks for trying to help!

Ok google while locked?

Now that the SD is being used again. Is OK google possible like it was on the note 4?

Settings --> System (tab) --> Language and Input --> Google voice typing --> "OK Google" detection
This will allow you to simply say "OK Google" from any screen - including the lock screen.

I did this n doesnt work still

Works on mine with screen locked.

I think he wants OK Google to work when the screen is off or when AOD is on. In that case this phone doesn't support that as far as I know.

enable google Assistant or google app on any screen miui 8

How to enable google voice Assistant on any app , screen on miui 8 marshmallow
Go to settings/installed apps/ on the bottom you'll see an option defaults and more, click on defaults , on this screen on the bottom select voice and Assistant input , select assist app and select google app, and now register your voice on Google Assistant and you are set

I was trying all kinds of stuff and couldn't make it work. And you nailed it with this simple thing I did not know about. Thank you so much!

I'm glad it helped, I've been looking on all android forums and i was messing with the settings until i found the solution, btw sorry for my bad English

I did that with all my MIUI devices, but it doesn't fix the problem, that it's not working when not charging and/or device is screen-off.

If you are on marshmallow there is a module called Google Assistant for non nougat devices

It not stay / perminantly keep google as default voice assistant .
My hardware is: Xiami mix, MIUI V9.2.2.0 N

My is MIX 2 Version 9.5 the newest one and have been trying all above and more but still does not work. It says initializing or Google voice search is not supported by your device, after clicking microphone icon on google keyboard. If I press microphone icon on Google Maps or others, it will pop up and google microphone and immediately close in less than a second.

[How-To] Change Google Assistant's voice.

Alright so when they announced that there was 6 new voices being released for Google assistant, I went to look how to change it or at least hear them. When I followed the steps to do it in this link https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7544506?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
The option wasn't there. You can open the menu directly by telling assistant "voice settings" then click the button on the bottom. But none of the listed voices worked. You could select them but the voice stayed the same. I'm rooted and Xposed so there is likely a module interfering but I found a work around:
Steps:
1. Reboot into safe mode by holding reboot until the prompt for safe mode comes up
2. Once in safe mode open the Google app
3. Menu - settings
4. Under Google assistant category select settings, this will bring up the setting menu for Google assistant since Google assistant does not work in safe mode.
5. Preferences - assistant voice (should be there now)
6. Listen and select your favorite.
7. Reboot
Side note: after doing this the proper menu showed up when not in safe mode so now you can listen and change as you please after that.

It's cool that we have 8 voices to now choose from...

Any idea how to get the voice in Australia? I tried changing location and language settig, doesn't seem to work.

I'm on the May security update and it worked for me without going into safe mode first.

My language is set to English (Singapore). The voice options are not available from the Preferences menu on my phone, but when I speak "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant, there's an option to select among 8 voices. But all of these 8 voices sound exactly the same. Guess it's not applicable to all languages yet.

Like I mentioned above, I am rooted and have Xposed so there was likely a mod issue for me. Anyone that is relatively more stock or doesn't have the same mods as me it would likely work

I forgot to mention that I was on English Canada but changed it to English us before following my steps. That may be a factor as to why it worked. Try adding English us and have it set as preferred language then try my steps. You should be able to change back to English Singapore without having it revert back to the default.

I managed to change the voice for my Google Assistant all while staying on English Singapore.
It's strange cause voice settings doesn't appear in my Google Assistant Settings -> Preferences. I could however pull up the voice settings by speaking "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant. And although clicking on the individual voices here all returns the default voice, it does work. Had to exit the voice settings and speak to Google Assistant again to hear what the selected voice sounds like. Probably a bug!

Ok cool, I didn't try that but that is good to know.

Change Google Assistant Voice Pixel 2 XL
Tried what was suggested, but I still don't get a "Preferences" setting under the Settings menu.

Just tried Google support article and it is missing the option on my Pixel
