Have you tried using the voice recognition feature on the keyboard? I believe that voice recognition works fine for me on the latest update.

Yep that is how I use it. I'm also using SwiftKey. What other way is there to use it if I reboot it works then it stops again, maybe I'll Uninstalling and install again and see

Weird... Have you tried rebooting? Other than that I can't think of any other suggestions at the moment. Sorry.

Glad to see that it is fixed. Just out of curiosity though, what did you have to do to fix it?

All he did was email an APK fix file and told me to install which I did and the VR started working again. I did email him back this morning, as I notice the Play store is telling me there is an update, which is the same release as April 1st, so I'm not updating for now, even though my version says I'm on V 173 it is still telling me there is an update, so lets see what he says.
