Keyboard typing lag - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else experiencing a lag when typing? I text a lot and it usually occurs whenever I start typing then the lag goes away. I've tried so many things, different keyboards, disabling spell check, remove vibrate, removing background apps, I just can't get this to go away. If I continue typing through the lag, it does eventually catch up and display all the letters I punched in but its damn annoying especially for such a beast of a phone.
I'm open to any ideas, thanks.
I am running CM10.1 nightlies but I have experienced this problem since I got the phone.

For me on PA everything is fine. Tbh I barely ever type normally any more because I just find the gesture typing system much faster and more efficient.

Same thing used to happen to me on swiftkey, then when Stock keyboard got flow i went back to it, started getting lag on it also. Now im running Liquid Smooth ROM on mako with its stock kernel and it hasn't happend once. Maybe give it a try, i have found that battery life is quite good also, around 4hrs screen on time for me .

Any other ideas? Still running the latest CM nightly and I flashed franco kernel, still experiencing the odd keyboard typing lag. If no one else is experiencing this I guess maybe its just a problem with my phone.

Try to use the performance governor an let the CPU scale all the way up to 1.5 GHz.
Check if the lag is gone

I'm running stock and I still get lag!

Strange homescreen behavior [ICS]

Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck

Slowness

I just want to gauge the performance I'm experiencing off against other.
I recently put the Daedle Build with the 2.6 kernal
For me, there are some intermittent freezes. Sometimes when in the app list but often from the front screen. I've almost the same apps as I did when I was on another ICS
Is anyone using this setup and if so, how are you finding it?
Thanks

[Q] 4.4.2 ROMS - Random Freezes / locking up

Is anyone else having this issue? I have tried many ROMS and they all have the same problem
After a bit, the phone becomes very unresponsive. It lags really bad, starts to slow down. Then eventually, it's completely frozen, often during an animation
The only way to fix is to reboot
Are there any other fixes for this that don't require rebooting?
still freezes on d801
Yeah I have had the same issue with all the 4.4.2 ROMs I have tried and have yet to find a fix for the d801. That's why I went back to stock for the time being. Been using Cloudyflex ROM with Furnace Kernel and everything runs like butter, no freezes or lags at all. I really want to be on aosp, but until the lagging and freezing goes away no dice.

Don't know if this is a fix, but today my phone rapidly slowed down again. A crash was imminent
I locked it, unlocked it
And it was super fast again!
Not sure if it's a one off, but it may be a fix/workaround?

Nexus 6P laggin after 6.0.1 February Update

My Nexus 6p was extremely responsive and fast before this security update. Now every once in awhile there will be extreme multitask lag when I hit the button inside an app it takes a good second or 2 for the app to shrink into the multitask menu. Then scrolling is smooth and so is swiping away but opening apps from that menu also takes a few seconds. And this whole problem lasts for about 10min. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed elementalx kernel and it fixed everything for the time being. But I'm upset I had to do this on a device well known for being buttery smooth. Could it be a stock kernel problem considering flashing a new one fixed it? I tried everything before that like clearing cache, reset, reboots, none of those deemed results the lag still occurred sometimes.
While I can't say it was right after the update. I've noticed some lagging big time also. Seems to happen mostly with Waze and Next SMS by Handcart

Display problem

Hello there.
I'm proud new user of Nexus 6p but I already have a problem. I updated it to 7.1.1 and rooted the device. Now chrome constantly crashes (Aw snap problem) and also facebook sometimes show strange image.
Screenshots attached.
Anybody else have this problem?
i love my 6p and am also a proud owner of this beast.
but i also have troubles with my display, it is abit similar to yours, i have occasional graphical glitches and it always freaks the hell outta me.
i hate those glitches , i had a split screen bug on my Moto Nexus 6 as well and using a specific custom kernel called Lean kernel always solved that problem for me.
but currently nothing fixes this on my nexus 6p , except the 6p of mine thankfully does not have that split screen bug but instead it has some other occasional hiccups with graphic glitches.
and i think it is because of the cold temperatures, but i am not so sure.
Cold temperatures can't be a problem with mine couse i work inside so there is no cold
I tried with elementalX kernel and the problem is still here.
chrome gives me the most graphical glitches , but it does not happen often.
it can still get annoying , and i also have a keyboard issue with chrome (been months now) the keyboard issue is, i cant delete characters i have enetered in the search fields of whatever website i am at.
like when i press backspace to wanting to delete words it just wont do it, annoying bug with chrome i am sure of it, as i have tried other browsers and they dont do that with the keyboard backspace not deleting characters.
maybe we should both switch browsers, but the thing is i always go back to chrome :l
hope your issue gets solved too, maybe try a custom based nougat rom and you wont see that issue with chrome anymore (as for the fb app, it is a battery killer i would advice to just use the chrome app to open up your fb account).
Tried with firefox but the problem is still there.
Will try and get myself different rom for weekend and test it.
So you say that facebook is battery killer. Thanks for the info.
Update:
Installed Pure nexus rom - problem still there
Installed CM 14.1 - problem still there
I have no idea what is cousing this problem. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related and not software?

Navigate to Settings/Developer Options/Webview Implementation then switch to "Chrome." See if you still notice these issues.

Nope I think your display driver is glitching
I'm taking it back to the store today and they will replace it with the new one they said. Hope i'll have more luck this time
