Hi all. I'm having an issue where when I try tapping the microphone button on the stock keyboard the voice input thing pops up but then quickly disappears. Voice input is working in other ways just not from the keyboard. Has anyone else experienced this? Oh, it also does the same thing on Swiftkey.
SOLUTION: so it turns out this only happens while using the stock messaging (sms) client. Voice input works when I switch over to using, the very similar, Google messenger app. Also in Facebook messenger, email apps etc. Therefore it is not a problem with voice input or with the keyboard exactly, but how the stock messenger app interacts with the keyboard.
Anyways I'm curious to see if this happens to others with the Idol 4 (non-S). Comment below with your experience and hit the thanks button if this has helped you.
You should try the Google keyboard, it has swiping feature and on my phone the mic button works
I think the Google keyboard IS the stock keyboard. But yes I I've tried it.

No I think the default keyboard is the "Android keyboard" has no swipe. Google keyboard is different.
No issues here using both stock Google keyboard or SwiftKey.

Thanks. I must have a faulty unit. A factory reset doesn't fix it.

Yes i can confirm that the stock sms app is at fault. i use Textra for sms so i never noticed the issue.

Can anyone recomend an offline (I mean without connecting to Google Voice) application for voice dialing. I believe starting from Android 2.2 it is supported.
I've just installed NAND HDFI rom by gauner1986 if it is relevant.
I am looking for an application where I just press button on my bluetooth headset and say the contact name to dial. If the app can read aloud new SMSs and emails it's even better .
I actually found an application Choice Dialer Plus which does the dial via bluetooth with one problem though. I cannot launch the app with my bluetooth handset button. I have to touch the phone to launch the app and then will give command to dial.
I know my handset works alright as I just upgraded from WM6.5 where I had Microsoft voice commander.
It looks I am missing something in the android.
Do I need another application which can listen to the handset or I need something else installed to the android?

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.
I think this is what you need.

Thank you, Denis.
My question was from 2011, LOL.
I don't have the HD2 anymore but thank you anyway.
I'm using the latest OTA with the Google Experience Launcher. Never used another SMS app save for the default Sense "message" app that comes stock.
Recently switched to Hangouts and have it set as the default SMS app. Problem is I get no visual or audio feedback when a new text is delivered. I've searched for a fix and it appears I'm not the only one with this issue. Anyone have this problem and know of a fix?
Thanks.

Yes, I am also having this issue. I don't use it as SMS, but it is annoying
What do you guys prefer in regards to texting?
I find hangouts a bit choppy but seems like it has more features.

I have 2 gmail accounts work and personal and it is a pain in the butt looking for different contacts in hangouts because you can only use one account at a time they dont combine the contacts of the 2 accounts
It seems like Hangouts does not work with the Galaxy Gear (watches), huh?
my choice messenger will always be WhatsApp (messaging, voice/video clips, voice calling) for its simplicity, yet is pretty feature-packed. i hate what Talk has become (since it became Hangouts Messenger). but for voice or video calling, i ultimately prefer WeChat. the quality is really good and it holds on to a connection pretty well (doesn't disconnect so easily) when in poor signal conditions.

I like the way Google Messenger and Hangouts work with group messages but for right now I can't get with the lag that both app have so im sticking with the stock messaging app for the moment. if they update them to make the more fluent I will jump on hangouts. Google Messenger also have too many colors.
I went back to the stock messaging app, Google hangouts doesn't have quick reply, and it lags.

I noticed the new 4.0 version of Hangouts lags backing out of app and opening some MMS. Clearning cache/data and reverting to previous stock version fixes the lag.
I'm currently using Google messenger. It does lag a bit.

Stock messages works just fine for me
Textra
Yeah Google hangouts is really laggy I went back to messages. I'd type several letters before they'd register on screen

I only had this problem with the stock keyboard. No lag problems for me on hangouts + Swype.

UPDATE : This man was right. Totally made a difference
I have this with Hangouts 4 and Swiftkey. Constant lag. But the Sammy messenger app is butt ugly.
I'm using hangouts due to the Google voice ans hangout integration. It is a bit laggy with swiftkey
I just started using textra, I like it so much more. Just had to disable it from turning the screen on.

Hangouts notifications were really inconsistent for me on the Note 3, so I'm not even going to bother testing with the N5. I have my Google Voice integrated into Hangouts, and I use it occasionally for work chatter, but nothing that requires any sort of reliability.
I only stick with stock apps if they off what I want, and that's mainly a Quick Reply feature. I was using Google Messenger as my SMS app because my last phone (One M8) did not have that built in. Since the Note 5 does have it, I found no need to use Google Messenger anymore. And I like the stock app cause I can quick reply while in landscape aswell. Google Messenger would only allow you to quick reply in portrait.

Check out an app called Gear Notifications. It will allow you to reply to hangouts messages. The device also has a thread on the gear s forum on xda.

If you are using the stock keyboard because you like google's speech-to-text, check out the swype xposed plugin 'SwypeTweaks.' Replaces the dragon voice with google's. I get lots of lag in several apps with the Samsung keyboard on my Note 5...Swype all the way for me.
I've just set up my nexus 6 with Fi, running the PureNexus rom. All my sms go through the hangouts app, although I have the default sms app to google messenger. This isn't a huge problem, but I would prefer to use the stock messenger app for its mms capabilities.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, thanks, I've already changed it to default in the main settings menu. All messages still go through hangouts. I've tried rebooting to no effect.
To be more clear, I have set the default messaging app to Google Messenger. I can send messages with messenger, but responses always come back through hangouts.

I tried this, it didn't help. I can send messages through messenger, but responses still come through in hangouts. Now that hangouts is disabled on my nexus, they don't come in on my phone, however I am able to view responses on the hangouts desktop app and on my tablet.
Fixed it
If anyone else can't figure it out I managed to fix the problem. In the hangouts settings menu there are two options for setting the default messaging app, one in the main menu, and one under account settings. Both have to be set for google messenger.
Hello, I purchased the Wear Messenger app and I like except my phone has a SIM and I can use it without my phone so when Im out and need to text using this app I cant because it doesn't have the option to send a text from my phone OR my watch and which is what functionality Im looking for in a texting app besides a keyboard.
Now the default Messenger sms app has this built in but it has no keyboard and I really like the Wear Messenger one its easy to use for me. Any ideas on what I can do or if there is an app out there that has these features im looking for? Thanks!
