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.

Yeah that works if using the lg keyboard. But now that I'm using swype, I can't disable the lg keyboard. Thanks for the response!

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

stupid question,
In previous versions of android, I could long press a text field to bring up the "select input method" box to quickly switch between keyboards installed on the device without having to leave the app I was in.
I don't seem able to do that in JellyBean?
I have Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed if that makes any difference.
Am I missing something obvious?
bring up the kb and long press space on stock kb
thanks, that's great,
but what I really want to do is switch from Swiftkey 3 Tablet to another input method like the handwriting input that comes with "7notes".
the more input methods you select in 'settings>language and input' the more options should appear to switch between. Or, is that not appearing using swiftkey?
long pressing space in swiftkey doesnt seem to do anything.
I have ticked boxes next to "swiftkey", "google voice typing" and "7notes mazec" in language and input settings.
The only way i have found to use the mazec one is to set it as default input method, but then I have to go back into settings
after I have used it to set swiftkey back as default.
When tap on text entry box a little keyboard icon should appear in notification bar. Swipe down and you should see option to change input method

Great tip, thanks
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.

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.
Hi Guys,
I use SwiftKey -- one thing I don't like is every time the keyboard opens, a notification lands up top asking me to select my keyboard. On HTC, I would simply rename the HTC keyboard APK and that was that.
What would be the equivalent process here?
Thanks!
If you're rooted and have Titanium Backup installed, just uninstall LG Keyboard and the themes that go with it.
Not sure why it would do that? I always use SwiftKey, and never had that notification on mine. Weird.
But, as mentioned, rooting is a good way to clear the bloat. Amd is really easy too.

Are you talking about the keyboard switcher in the notification bar/shade? You should be able to disable that in settings under language/input somewhere. If it's not there, your old method will work OR un-checking all other keyboards in the same language/input menu, disabling, or uninstalling any additional keyboards.

Yes, the KB switcher in notification bar / shade. I have never been able to disable that via a setting. The LG and Google keyboards cannot be deselected (greyed out) thus leaving disabling / uninstalling as the only option.

You have to delete all other input methods except for swiftkey if you want to remove the notification.
Resolved. I rooted and renamed the LG IME to .apk.bak using ES File Manager and I disabled the Google AOSP keyboard.
On my end I just wanted to confirm that the solution with Titanium backup Pro worked.
I just had to freeze the LG keyboard and the 3 LG themes, disable Google Voice Recognition (uncheck automatic) and reboot, et voila !
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.

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.

Follow these steps to fix the problem
1. Open settings, in the general column click on language and input.
2. Go to Google voice typing and enable it.
3. Click on the gear next to Google voice typing.
4. Change the language to only English US.
5. AND THAT'S IT....IT WORKED FOR ME.....ENJOY VOICE TYPING!!!
I'm running the Oreo beta with just Magisk 4.13 installed. No TWRP or any other mods, even running the stock camera.
So in the gboard options under virtual keyboards I have the Voice Input Key enabled and Google Voice Typing enabled but the damn button isn't anywhere to be found on the keyboard.
I tried enabling the Japanese input and then holding the space key to choose a 2nd inpute option but Google voice typing isn't even on the list there. Anyone have an idea what's going on here?

It shows up in the suggestion bar for me. I am on Oreo beta 1 and not rooted. Note the yellow arrow on the attachment.

Yep, the bar I have disabled
I hate all assisted typing features, turn them off first thing out of the box. Guess I'll find a different keyboard to use.
Thanks nrage
