Is this issue now solved for you?
You do not have to disable google voice typing, just the google voice typing key from in the xperia keyboard settings

What the "other shawn" was referring to was that he unchecked the google voice typing key but it will somehow auto-check later on...
The same happened to me when I unchecked but it will somehow auto-check again, so what I did was to disable the Voice Search App.
haha thanks shawnwu & gregbradley, but shawnwu understand my problem. how u disable the voice apps? like how to want to uninstall the app way from there disable?

@kikikidi : did you managed to solve this issue ? If yes, how ?
I have the same prob. The voice input works using Google search but never works using the keyboard (the microphone is displayed on screen with "preparing" -if that's the correct translation...
hi!
i did an update via pc companion to .244.
now it seems that the voice input icon on the keyboard is gone. in the keyboard settings, the option is checked. furthermore, i can't even uncheck it.
is there any way to get voice input back? or is it gone with the new firmware? the voice input has been quite usefull when typing sms while walking.
thanks for your help!

Don't worry, its not gone. Try flashing Latest Gapps Package and a new Keyboard mod like honami keyboard or xperia keyboard via recovery, that will fix it for sure, if it does not, then next time before updating/reinstalling the firmware, backup and factory reset your device first. :good:
Maybe you deleted Google Search app? Voice input is integrated in this app.

thanks! that's it! google search has been deactivated. once i activated it, the microphone icon on the keyboard reappeared!
Hey,
Does anyone know how to get the microphone on the Google keyboard? The icon that converts your voice to text. It's always been there for me on other phones. Is it another permission I have to enable. I don't see anything in permissions or settings. Thanks.
I had the same problem try to reinstall and see if it works

You must enable google voice typing. Settings search keyboards and flick the voice switch to on.

Thisis what i originally did on my Note 8 ( and then later Note 9.)
to get my car radio to launch Google Assistant as Bixby kept popping up.
I also have bxActions installed on my phone, but what i originally did, regarding my car radio (Google voice commands) is..
Device /Settings /Advanced settings /Device Assistant app/set to Google and next to Google press settings cog icon
and set voice.... Google Assistant.
So if i press and long press /hold my car phone button
Google Assistant answers.
(Same as home button on device (function) for me)
So take a look and see if it works for you.?

Cheers. Slightly off topic how does one turn it off completely? I don't think it's possible.

Not sure, as i always had it preferred.
However , if you tap on the last setting page you can either enable or disable?

Ok I was able disable the OK google and it only listen when I press the mic icon. Now no matter what I do in the google app settings it's always listening. My only current option is to disable microphone permissions which isn't what I want since I can't press the mic icon and speak.
I had it setup on the note8 with android 9 to only listen when the mic icon is pressed. Got the note 9 did the same settings and it still responds when I say OK or hey google.
Currently have the microphone permissions disabled since my phone does NOT need to listen all the time. Is there a setting I am missing?
I had to remove the Google search widget to stop it from always listening. It is stupid that they removed the option to simply turn it off.

Exactly. Disable the "Google" app improve the memory and battery usage, imo
Interesting, I disabled the Google app for about 30 minutes and could not use voice with chrome so turned it back on. The mic permissions are enabled but OK google is now disabled yet I can push the mic icon and use voice for searching again.
So its exactly how I want it but a very strange way to get there. I have no clue how this worked but it did.
Well after a restart and about 20 minutes it went back to listening.
That's odd - it's definitely off on mine, but I can't find where I deactivated it! I use Nova Launcher, and there is an option in the Settings under 'Gestures and Inputs' to disable 'OK Google hotword' - maybe that's how I did it? But 'OK Google' doesn't work anywhere on my Note 9 (did this to save battery and because I have a Google Home & Mini).
EDIT: And I do have the Google App installed.
Not sure what's going on. Google runs me around when I tired to ask them. I know exactly where the setting is and its disabled but still listens for the "OK google "
Personally I would love someone with influence to get attention to this but it seems a little hit or miss on setups so not sure. I have the mic disabled.
I did do a really stupid test if my device was listening and used let's say red flag words to see if anyone was listening. Ironically the words I used are related to an event happening in my city which was horrible timing on my part but semi proved to me no one heard it.

Yes that works. The only thing I don't want is it to disable voice in chrome app which this does.
The settings to disable OK Google are there but don't function and google themselves either don't understand what I am saying or don't want to admit the setting doesn't function as it should.

It's not easy to find the option to turn off the Google assistant, but it's there.
Settings > apps > (three dots menu) default apps > device assistance app
You'll want to change "device assistance app" to "none" and then "voice input" to "Google". The you should be all set.
To go a step further, you can disable the Google assistant from running at all on your device.
Google app > "more" (lower right hand corner) > settings > Google assistant > assistant
Then, at the bottom you should see "assistant devices" with "phone" listed. Select phone and then toggle Google assistant off.
This should do the trick.

I was able to do the first part of device assistant app to none. The voice input option doesn't allow me to pick just google option.
Either way this has solved my issue and is now working they I want it to. Going to try a restart and see if it persists unlike my previous attempt.
Thanks again for finding this.
I like having the search widget and be able to type or voice input my search if I don't know how to spell something. With all the news of companies admitting they listen and record voice stuff having my device always listening is very unsettling. I guess it's a little paranoid but I live in a bad part of my city and I really don't want to be red flag because I walked by a drug deal which happens all to often.
That's strange, because that exactly what it should do when you disable Voice Match, since it is said that's it's actually the "anywhere OK Google listening".
Try deleting your voice imprint on the same setting page too maybe.
I wonder why is working fine on my phone and not on others.
