How to silence keyboard sounds? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you stop the keyboard click sounds? I've gone to Settings...Sounds and disabled "Touch Sounds" but I still get clicks when I type of the keyboard
???

Try to disable "sound on key-press" in the Android Keyboard Settings! For me it works

Poster above has it right.
Settings>Language and Inputs.
Look for the "Settings" icon next to "Android Keyboard" (probably selected as "Default")
De-select "Sound on Keypress"​

Thanks - that did the trick!

Glad to hear it!

Of course, because I can not directly post a link this is how you can get to it: google: android keyboard typewriter sounds
it should be the very top hit
"[MOD] Retro Keyboard Typewriter Sounds! Lol - Android Forums"
This is a [MOD] that should work on any ROM to make your key press sounds on your keyboard sound like a retro typewriter. You will have to be rooted of course, but this should work. Good luck!

Having trouble turning off haptic feedback

Just got a new Nexus 4. I went to settings>sound>vibrate on touch and unchecked it. Still getting haptic feedback when typing texts. I searched the SMS settings as well as the settings under input and didnt see any haptic feedback options. I've rebooted a few times, its still happening. What am I doing wrong or missing?
Go to settings than under "personal" choose "Language and Input". Now, look for "Android Keyboard" and press the settings on the right of it. From there you can turn off the vibration or haptic feedback.

Thanks. That works if I use the android keyboard, but I prefer swiftkey. Still getting HF when I switch back to swiftkey.
Found it. Swiftkey settings>advanced>Typing Audio&haptic feedback.

Emojis in 4.3

So I just updated to 4.3. I've found the updated camera app, the autodialer feature, but the new Emoji keyboard/feature is nowhere to be found. Anyone else having this issue--can anyone using a Nexus 4 with build JWR66V confirm they have an Emoji keyboard? I've found "Emoji for English words" in the Addon Dictionary section but it doesn't bring up any interface with spacebar. I hold down the spacebar after installing the emoji addon dictionary and all i get is "choose input method" with no emoji keyboard on it.

No because if you searched a little more you'd know you have to go to keyboard/input and enable emoji keyboard...

I've been in "Language and input" and there are three keyboards available-- Google Keyboard, Google voice typing, and my Switfkey app. Thats it.
I don't have 4.3 yet, but I assume all you do is settings on default keyboard and install emoji add on dictionary. And then just holding down space bar will bring it up.

"Emoji for English words"? That's in the Addon Dictionary section but it doesn't bring up any interface with spacebar. I hold down the spacebar after installing the emoji addon dictionary and all i get is "choose input method" with no emoji keyboard on it.
You have to go to
Settings --> Language & Input --> than enable iWnn IME keyboard. Under Google Keyboard settings go to 'Advanced Settings' than enable 'Switch to other input methods'. Than all yyou need to do is hit the Earth icon on the keyboard to switch to the emoji keyboard.

I had originally disabled the iWnn IME keyboard. Once I re-enabled it, I discovered the keyboard. Sneaky of google to add it there. Anyway, thank you, problem solved.

[Q] keyboard icon

How do I stop the keyboard icon in the top left of the notification bar? I was using the stock keyboard and I could uncheck the Google voice typing, but it kept coming back. I changed to swipe, but now I can't uncheck the stock keyboard or disable it.
Any thoughts?
I get this alert from time to time to so i wonder about this too??
This is an Android 'feature' you can't turn off. The keyboard icon comes up whenever a keyboard is on the screen. You can't hide the icon. It's the same with any Android phone. I think it disappears if you use stock keyboard but I might be wrong.
Yes it's a stock android thing, but other phones you can disable the other keyboards so it doesn't pop up. I was hoping there was a way to do the same on this phone.

The reason you could not complete uncheck the Google Voice in Setting/Language and Input because your LG keyboard using it as an add on. I had try to turn the Google Voice off but it will come back agian
To disable the icon keyboard icon in the top left of the notification bar you should go to Setting/Language and Input then
1. Uncheck the Google Voice in Setting/Language and Input
2. hit the LG keyboard setting (it was a gear icon in the end of the LG keyboard row) then uncheck Voice input.

Use any Root Uninstaller to uninstall LG keyboard (remember to backup the LG keyboard).

[Q] google voice typing not working and no mic on any keyboard

Can't figure this one out. Using the LG keyboard, I do not have a mic icon no matter what I try (it is enabled in settings). Selecting Google Voice typing doesn't even open. Using the stock google keyboard from the play store doesn't allow me to select the mic icon either from the ',' key. I have checked the installed voice engines (LG, Pico) and installed the google voice engine but nothing works. Anyone else having problems with this function?

Yes exact same issue- in settings under Lang and Input & LG Keyboard, voice input is auto selected but grayed out. Google search bar widget shows mic icon in preview view, but when I add it to the home screen the mic icon is gone and nothing happens when you click on the bar. Phone's mic is working normally. Gettin worried....
Same problem!
24A IOroot TWRP 2.7 Malladus 2.0.2.
To text, I have to tap a LOT of buttons.
1 tap on text icon.
Then tap the + icon to compose new message.
Then tap the status bar button to drop down status bar.
Then tap choose input method.
Then choose either "Google voice typing" or "LG Keyboard".
Then choose contact.
Then text.
There is no microphone icon on the LG keyboard for texting.
I'm a noob. This is the clunkiest text interface I could imagine.
What am I missing? Is there a text app I need to download to get a better interface with the ROM?
Thanks for any help!!
I can drop-down the status bar and touch allows me to select between Google mic or LG keyboard,

BTW - my google voice typing does work when I select it as described above.
I enabled it under Settings / Language and Input.
Try uninstalling Google voice search and then reinstalling it. This worked for me.

Do you have a settings cog to the left of your space bar? If so long press that and you are presented with options including the microphone. Once you click on the microphone the popup window goes away and the settings cog is replaced with a microphone. This worked for me when I had the LG Keyboard. I'm currently using the AOSP keyboard which has the microphone by default.

Thanks!
Worked like a charm!
My button left of the keyboard had the pencil. On longpress, it gives the option of pencil, mic, settings, or a note thingy.
I had it in my head that my problem was some kind of buggy thing associated with removing bloat and stuff.
In fact, it was nothing more than "please try to learn how to use your own phone".
So I kinda feel dumb....
But on the positive side, you look brilliant!
Thanks!

Just stumbled across it one day. You can do the same with the command and period buttons to the right of the space bar.

I had the exact same problem, and after hours of searching, found that somehow Google Search was disabled. Go to settings/applications and slide all the way to the right under "disabled" and click on Google Search, and then re-enable it.
Next, go to General Settings/Language & Input and make sure there is a check next to Google Voice Typing. Problem should be solved.

4. Change the language to only English US.
5. AND THAT'S IT....IT WORKED FOR ME.....ENJOY VOICE TYPING!!!
