    Help Jellybean: Missing Voice Input/Mic icon (fixed)

    If anybody else is having the missing mic issue in texting and google search, chances are you did what I did and deleted the google search bar from the home screen. A quick trip to the Play store (search for "google search" and choose "restore" or "update") and a restart will fix you up!
