The voice input microphone is missing from my keyboard. How do I find it?

[dtederick]

Hello,

After the newest Android update I can't find the microphone on my message plus screen. I have tried the following without any success:

• I have already double checked the Android Keyboard Settings for Voice Input Key.  It's currently set for "On Main Keyboard".  I've tried changing it to "On Symbols Keyboard" and that doesn't work either.
• I  cleared out information about the messaging application. Went to settings > application manager > all > messaging > clear data and force stop. Then power cycle your phone and retest.
• Went to settings, app manager, select all at the top.  See if you have anything that says keyboard, android keyboard or voice search/commands and try clearing the data/force stop.

Any other suggestions for me?

Thanks,

David

Long-press the key to the right of the Sym key; if you haven't used it yet, it should be a gear (for Settings).  Once you long-press it, you'll get a pop-up that allows you to toggle the microphone, clipboard, emoji, and settings.
