Keyboard swipe bug with 4.2.2 update? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if it's maybe unique to me but after the 4.2.2 update, when I'm using swipe typing with the stock keyboard it no longer inserts a space automatically when I finish entering a word so I have to keep pressing space in between swiped words. Anyone else noticed this, or have any suggestions of something else that may be causing it?

Sv: Keyboard swipe bug with 4.2.2 update?
Works like on 4.2.1 for me

It's working fine here...
Do you have any mods installed? And which kernel?

I notice the same. It's only in certain input types though. I've noticed it happen in SnapChat and the Chrome search bar.

I just flashed the latest PA, 3.0, and the swipe text input has gone for me too.

I haven't got any ROMs or anything like that. Still plain old stock android. And yes actually it seems to only happen in certain apps like chrome. Talk and WhatsApp are fine. Anyone got any ideas?

Haha just got it. Nice

Mine seems more buggy after the update. Sometimes skips letters when swiping. Mostly works though. On stock not rooted. No other keyboards installed.

Mine has spaces every where excluding the URL bar on any browser .

This is happening for me too but I only notice it in chrome search. It's pretty annoying and only since 4.2.2

Anyone any the wiser on this yet?

It works fine for me. Perhaps it is a bug with some unrelated options? Try changing some of the settings and see if that changes something.

Hmm can't really think of where to find settings to change. Any suggestions what type of thing to try?

Nexus 7 Stuck scrolling up?

Hi, this has happened twice now.
Once on Facebook, and once on the Browser I think
What happens, is it seems like someone (a robot with really quick fingers) keeps flicking my screen up, so when I try to scroll down the page, it goes down a little bit and then goes straight back up, so it seems to "bounce" off the top of the page.
I have to keep closing things, pressing home button/back button lots, close apps etc and then it will stop.
What could be causing this? I hope I explained it well enough.
Thanks !
Anyone?
Are you rooted? If so, try restoring to stock or re-flashing the stock ROM. I don't really have any idea what could cause that scrolling issue, but if it continues, I would exchange/RMA your N7.

Had a similar issue. Stock didnt change it. Eventually it became permanent. Waiting for my rma now

Nah its only happened a couple of random times, n if I just piss about opening lots of apps and closing etc, it will stop, it happens on FaceBook etc.
Im already stock, un rooted etc.
Would be good have a restart option I feel I get lag on scrolling within different apps least once a day

Keyboard is extremely laggy

Hey guys,
I just bought a brand new Nexus 4 from Google Play and I rooted it first with AOKP but now I'm on CyanogenMod. Within a couple of days my keyboard started to become so laggy that it just crashes while I'm texting or writing an email. I switched ROMs and I installed kernels to see if anything helps but after a few hours it gets back to the same problem.
I don't know if I should unroot it and go back to stock. Or what I should do because this is extremely annoying.
Any sort of help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Could it possibly be with anything else you install? I've never had a laggy keyboard before. Are you using the keyboard that comes with the rom or installing your own? I'll use either the stock keyboard or SwiftKeys.
Also do you have a large dictionary or other addons?

Thanks for your reply. I just have normal apps like Facebook and music players. I am using the keyboard that comes with the ROM itself, and no I don't have any addons or anything.
I'm really thinking about unrooting and then rerooting it again to see if that helps

I just find it weird because I've had absolutely no laggy keyboard at all with my Nexus 4 (with either stock/rooted or with this SlimBean 4.2.2), using either the stock keyboard or SwiftKeys, it's a pretty powerful phone too so even swiftkeys with it's predictions shouldn't become laggy. I suspect there's something else amiss especially if you have this problem on more than one rom.

lol, root isnt the problem. unrooting it will amount to washing your cloths because your car is leaking air out of its tires. but, it can be cm. 1st, try just deleting the keyboards data in the main phone settings, app, all, then delete the keyboard apps data. if its not fixed, then boot into recovery and wipe your dalvik cache and cache. if still not fixed, try a different rom or different keyboard.

[Q] Swiftkey-Keyboard changes to AOSP-Keyboard.. but I dont want that to be :X

Hi Guys,
dont know where to start this thread, but i thought this could be the right place. If not, sorry for that
Following problem
Today i flashed (clean) a new update of Xylon on my Nexus 4. Usually I use Swiftkey 4 for writing. Installed and set up SK4 like eveytime before. I also set SK4 to my standard keyboard. Some minutes later i wanted to write again and suddenly the aosp keyboard was on. Dont know why. Well.. changed again to SK4. But the whole thing started again. Does anyone know that problem or knows a solution?
But now theres the crazy thing! On my girlfriends phone (One S) happens the same thing today! (Flashed an update today, swiftkey4 as main keyboard.. open some text input and theres aosp keyboard now.. changed back to swiftkey and wrote... next time again aosp keyboard..)
I hope u know what i mean and u can help me!
Thanks so far

i can just disable aosp-keyboard.. and already tried it.. then no keyboard shows up and i must also apply swiftkey again..
This used to happen to me. Did you restore apps with Titanium or something similar? It would happen when I would restore keyboards with app data using Go Backup. Uninstall the app and then install it from the play store...this worked for me.

Did you try to Greenify the swiftkey app? it will cause that.
So all this started when you updated the roms? Have you checked the rom thread to find out if others are having this issue?

I have started to use greenify recently on my note 2. Didn't really need it on the nexus 4 but this happened a while ago. I may have tried it on the N4. You could be right.

[Q] Swiftkey not sticking as default keyboard

I have this annoying issue where I install swiftkey on my Omega rom i9505 and within like 10 minutes the samsung keyboard becomes default again, so i set swiftkey again...same thing, any ideas?

Rename the Samsung keyboard and add .bak to LatinIME.apk (or something like that) and it will not be activated after a boot.
Same thing happened to me with SwiftKey too. I deleted all other keyboards so now SwiftKey is my only keyboard and it's fine

Wouldn`t do that, if you`re custom keyboard crashes for some reason you have none left for input.
What exactly do you do? I have this issue too

Hmmm, I dont mind renaming stuff but just not sure seems like the Samsung keyboard just wont quit haha

Never crashed on me yet dude.
And it's not a big deal anyway, if it did I can always put stock keyboard back in system/apps.
I only ever use SwiftKey so seems pointless having all the others
switch to swiftkey tablet, that fixed the issued for me
How?
