Voice option in Google keyboard doesn't work

Well I like to use the voice option in the keyboard now and again. It doesn't seem to activate when I press the button though. If I hold the , key down the mic icon shows but then nothing happens when I select it. Any one else having the same issue?

go into settings, language and input, and check google voice typing if it is unchecked.

Questions should go in Moto X Q&A
You need to check your settings
From the main system settings menu:
select "Language & Input"
Make sure that "Google Voice typing" is checked
Under the settings for the Google Keyboard check the box for "Voice input key"

Menu icon missing on app on S5

Tried loading Lorex Mobile Lite on new S5 today. App appears to load fine. When I run it splash screen shows up then blank screen with "No DVR set up hit menu> add connection. There is no menu button anywhere on screen. Running 4.4.2 The same app on my wife's Nexus 7 tablet running 4.4.2 shows a menu button to right of the return button on bottom of screen an then works correctly. Any idea how to get menu button to show up or atleast get into menu?

I've run into this on a few apps. no settings menu icon in the app, no settings menu to the left of to the home key...
if you press and hold the multi tasking button the settings menu will come up.

open the app you are trying to access the settings menu of.
press and hold the button to the left of the home button.
the settings menu of that app will then open.
pressing and holding what used to be the settings button still functions as the old settings button.

[Q] soft keys have progressively failed

My soft keys have all seemed to fail and not responding to touch. It started with the back button and then I went into settings and rearranged the buttons and all was good for about a week. Now the home and menu buttons are not responsive or you have to tap like 20 times until it registers. I haven't dropped the phone or got it wet and I have the quick window case on it. Anyone else experience this issue? Is it fixable or is my digitizer most likely going bad? As of right now, the only option I have is to use the phone in landscape mode with the buttons on the left side of the screen. I will most likely reinstall factory recovery, unroot, save all of my music and pics and then factory reset. I even have the issue when booted into TWRP which leads me to believe that the digitizer is going bad.

Sounds like DEFINITELY a digitizer problem. The fact that it still does it in TWRP really proves that IMO

Try going to your hidden settings menu thru the phone's dial pad. How? - just dial 3845#*???# replace the "???" With whichever variant yours is. I'm T-Mobile so mine is the D959 so I use 3845#*959# … you don't have to hit send or do anything … it will automatically open up a menu list. In this list you will see a "Settings" option. Click it. Then in the next window, scroll down it's list towards the bottom and you'll see an option for "Update Touch Firmware". Select it. … you're phone will be froze and unresponsive for about 5 -10 seconds. Once it becomes responsive again just exit via the "back" key or "home" key or however you want. You won't see anything happen or anything change or notifying you that its updating or that it finished/or worked. It just does. Not sure if this will help you , but it heps fix mine when the knock to wake stops working. Just a idea give it a shot. It won't hurt anything. And don't mess with anything else in that hidden menu if you're not sure what your default setting is or know what it does. You can really mess it up in there. Good luck.

I gave that a shot and nothing happens after dialing the code; i'm on the sprint version. Was going to try flashing back to stock and see if that helps; trying to find the thread to do so and to download the .tot files.

I flashed back to stock and upgraded to KK. The button problem sorta went away; acts funny in some apps to where home or menu won't respond and takes a few taps for back button to register. I found the correct way to access the hidden menu for the sprint variant and screen test is showing a dead area when doing the drawing test:
The Secret code to access hidden menu on LG G Flex LS995 is different.
Dial 5689#*995# , You will access the hidden menu on G Flex.
How to Troubleshoot Problems Using the hidden menu on LG G Flex (LS995).
1. Dialer 5689#*995# ->
2. Select Device Test ->
3. Press Power Button & Select AATFULL(+power key) ->
4. Select All Auto Test – Full.

[Q] How to restore missing 3 dots menu for legacy apps?

I use Tapatalk v2 alot and also some other legacy apps.
Everything is fine on my S6 Edge, but on my N920C I have no 3 dots balloon and therefore I cannot access those app settings.
Does anybody know how to get it back if the device is not rooted?

Long press the back button. If nothing happens the app doesn't support android 5.1 .1 yet. Another way to pull up more options button is via the assistance menu.
Settings >accessibility >dexterity and interaction >assistant menu
Had to get ahold of a 3rd party apps developers to get them to update to support back long press

Hmm thanks, but then it looks & act way different from the one in the S6 Edge (with v5.1.1 too).
Is there really no other fix when it's not a rooted device?

Thank you so much for the recommendation to use the adjustment for dexterity. I spent about 5 hours last night while setting up my S7 Edge - randomly researching how to do this with no luck. I have one "critical" legacy app or folders that I was about to set up manually since I couldn't get to the menu to import my previous settings.
THANK YOU!! WAHOO!! LOL.?

Long press on a blank space on your home screen
you're welcome
