The microphone icon is greyed out on my gear s keyboard and I can't use voice to text which was a great feature on my gear 2 for sending quick texts. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm sure it isn't this but. ... If you're disconnected from the phone you'll need mobile data enabled on the G S
Also look in the keyboard settings in the gear s settings/language menu.

I'm connected to my phone 99% of the time with Bluetooth and have my mobile data set to auto. Went through keyboard settings on gear s and didn't find anything
And you've already opened and set up S-Voice on the connected phone?
Yes, I use s voice frequently on my phone
In the watch settings for Keyboards and Input do you have the Samsung keyboard selected?
Yes and the microphone is greyed out on all 3 of the Samsung keyboards on the device
(Fix) microphone greyed out
I had this same issue... Samsung was no help. The problem is that the default language on the Gear S doesnt match your default language on your phone.
On the watch... you can't manually change the default language under settings-language and input. On your phone... go to settings-language and input. Check the very top bar. That language needs to be set to United States or another language that s-voice recognizes. In my case, the watch was stuck on (Canada) but my Note 3 didn't have a "Canada" option.
Assuming that you are using a Samsung phone...download Language Enabler from the Play Store...load English United States and set as your default. The watch will automatically change and everything will work. Hope that helps.
That app needs root unfortunately but I do see that the language on the gear s is English Canada and in the s voice app on the phone it is English us
Any other ideas?

I'm having the same issue as you. Wish there was an answer to this.
Me 2, still haven't figured it out
OK, here is the solution.
When I was having the same issue, my phone language was set to English (Australia), S Voice on my phone was set to English (US), language on my watch was set to English (Australia) and S Voice on my watch was set to English (AU). I changed them all to English (US) as there is no English (AU) for S Voice, and the mic works.

I have changed everything to English us but on the watch it won't let me change the language, it says English Canada but you can't select it to change it.
I think there are 2 different gear s models, the sm-r750w which is for Canada and the sm-r750 for the US which might explain why I can't change the language on the watch, even tried a factory reset with no luck.

Thanks, this solved it for me, except I used English UK for all settings and now works fine. this was driving me mad and wishing I had an Android Wear based watch. Still S Voice has a bit to go to be as good as Google Now/Voice.
I am new here but have switched all electronics to Samsung and good so far although I am having the same problem. I tried to switch the language to english UK except on s voice on gear s as it does not show up as a language option. I tried to go to gear app on my note 4 and download the uk option and it does not show up in the Samsung app? Is there a way to find it or is there another language that will support the mic option?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and new to the p500 (well, actually I don't have the phone myself but both my daughter and son got one for Christmas).
First of all, we live in Norway and we have trouble making Norwegian the default language on one of the phones.
On initial startup, we were asked in German to enter PIN, then we chose Norwegian from the list of languages. So far so good. After being off overnight, when we turn on the phone we're asked in German to enter PIN, after that the phone language is Swedish (!). We enter "Settings", "Locale and text", "Choose language" and then Norwegian. After that everything is fine until the phone is turned off and on again, when it reverts back to German and Swedish.
On the other phone where we have no problems it says "Norwegian" under "Choose language", on the problem phone it says nothing here regardless of language chosen, so it looks like the chosen language is not "remembered".
I've done a factory reset, to no avail.
Setting the language each time the phone is switched on is a bit boring so I really hope someone on this forum knows a solution to this.
Recently, When I use keypad to call somebody... the phone number becomes ***-***-**, I didn't do anything to the settings, but my colleagues play my phone before... just want to remove the dashes.. thanks.
i think it has something to do with the phone language. did they switch from UK english to US english ?
I live in Czech Republic. When I select on the phone primary language EN and secondary CZ, then "OK, Google" works well but if I would to response to the text, then the czech text is not recognized by the watch but if I try the same on the phone, it works well (I can speak czech and the text is recognized well).
If I select only CZ language, the the watch recognizes text well but the voice commands are not working.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
I have 2 languages on voice input , and it's set to automatic, however only primary language gets recognized. The other one would not get recgonized no matter what i do. It used to work perfectly fine on LG G$ , or maybe even on older version of G5 firmware. Can anyone confirm ?
If your watch show only caller number and contact name as "unknown contact", try to set phone language to english.
I set phone language to english (from slovak language) and watch show caller ID correctly.
After set phone language back to slovak, watch show again "unknown contact".
I sent in-app feedback, hope they fix it in some future update.
(Sorry my english)
Hello. Language was already in English on my phone and could not get the contact name on the watch when I was receiving calls. I tried several language changes as you proposed and got back to English, but still no "contact name" displayed.
I finally solved the problem by disconnecting the bluetooth and pairing again the watch with BT. The moment the pairing is required on the phone, there is a small box to tick just below asking if you allow the contact details to be transfered with the BT connection. I checked the box and now I'm having contact name displayed on my GTR2 when phone rings
I have the same issue with GTS 2 on my Iphone, specifically Whatsapp calls can't identify a caller, while the name shows after the call is done in Notifications. Anyone knows how to solve this issue plssss?
