a new app called "voice typing keyboard" VTK lets you do voice typing with no microphone button to push. simply say "listen" or "spelling" when in any text field and start dictation

Re-enabling disabled apps.

I got a warning that 'Devices' was stopping stamina mode & disabled it by accident.
Anybody know how to re-enable it?
I can not find it in my app list (settings/apps/all).
Thanks for any help.

Hmm I think it's not in the list because it's not really an app, but part of the OS.
How did you disable it? The same way you disabled it you should have an option to re-enable it.

It was through the notification.
Clicking took me to the 'force stop/disable' menu for devices & I disabled from there.
Now can't find it to re-enable & I won't get the pop up again.
Settings apps scroll right to all apps find devices and click on it than click enable

That's just it, it's not there.
RESOLVED.
Just for future reference, disabled apps appear at the very BOTTOM of the settings/apps/all list.

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?

[Q] Searching location

I've been getting a notification very frequently that says "searching location" and then a little while later says "location found." Is this normal? I have location set to high accuracy. I guess it isn't that big a deal, I just find it a bit annoying.
I think this has something to do with the moto app. Haven't figured out which part yet. But I got the same thing happening. Think it's normal

It is probably the command center thingy widget triggering it.

Yeah, I know what he's talking about.. But there's no entry for "command center" in the apps list (Settings -> Apps -> All) where you can disable it completely. Hence why I'm asking him if he knows the entry's name, so I can disable it.

Look for command center on the all list. click on it and then disable.

Actually my bad - there was an entry for "Command Center" and it was already disabled. So to answer your question, disabling the command center does not fix this "Location Found" issue.
If this issue hasn't been resolved yet - Next time you see the notification, long press it in the notification drawer before it disappears and hit app info and it will show you what app it is. I'm not sure if you can disable it though

[Q] Getting "OK Google" to work from any screen?

When I enable the "OK Google" voice command in the settings, there are usually options to enable the command from any screen, however that option is not present on my Z3c. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks
QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG HERE.
That being said, what you ask of is there. go to google search settings, click on voice, go to ok google detection. from there, check from any screen box, and it'll have you repeat ok google 3 times to learn your voice. then on, it's from any screen.
Sorry about the question.
As I stated in the post, the option "from any screen" does not appear on my settings.
This is a picture of the screen I come to in the settings.
is it in English?

Yes, it is.
Hi
You can try setting your phone language to US English and updating the Google Search app. It may appear then.
Alternatively you can download an app called OpenMic+ which may help...
I have the option on my phone and it works...problem is when you enable it the stock camera app sees it as an app that is using the mic all the time and it shows an error. there is currently no fix

Turns out the app needed an update, figured the brand new phone would have the latest update!
Thanks
Just to note, even if the application is updated, if it has never been opened, it still wont offer the option to listen from any screen, unless you run the application at least once.

Google Keyboard Microphone missing?

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.
