Noticing that SwiftKey takes up a lot of battery believe or not. Just looked in my battery usage under settings and SwiftKey shows up. I think its a little silly for a keyboard to take up that much battery to actually show up. So what keyboard do you all use/prefer?!
Thinking about switching to Kii Keyboard, trying it out now and I rly like it!
EDIT: I wiped all user data from Swiftkey, then restored it using Helium and it hasn't appeared in my battery since then..

Same here, haven't ever seen swiftkey use like virtually any battery! I couldn't imagine not using swiftkey, it's become my favorite keyboard of all time over the years - I type so fast without even looking haha! Are you doing anything out of the ordinary with Swiftkey?

Google keyboard has always worked best. Never even heard of Kii. Never been compelled to try SwiftKey cause Google Keyboard just works.
Swype. Tried stock, AOSP, Swiftkey, Kii, and a bunch of others and have always come back to Swype. I guess I'm getting too old to change.

I don't think there is a way to calibrate those. But some thing you might want to add to the OP is what rom you are on maybe there is a setting that I don't know about.

Lol You're fingernail at the time you were using your s3 must have been short, thus allowing your finger as well to touch the screen without you noticing it. And now that you use your nexus 4, you're fingernail is long again..

I never said the screen sucks. I said the touch sensitivity does. And I was using my nail as a comparison between the s3 and n4 screen touch sensitivity.

Really? What are you touching then when you're testing the sensitivity? Do you even understand how capacitive screens work?
The sensitivity mod allows you to tap with the back of fingernail (i know i tried lol). It uses the earlier touch driver, but it does have the side affect of making the phone stall for a minute or more when first booted up; but if used with the supplied modded stock kernel you only have this happen once, also 'Matr1x' kernel also has this feature.

Can you scroll on your home screen or click on apps with your finger nail?
Can you tap on an app with your finger ever so slightly, but definitely make contact with the glass, on an app icon or keyboard, and no action happens? Meaning the app doesn't open or the letter pressed isn't typed in...

Wow most of you are assholes.. I stopped reading after the 3rd negative response. Does anyone know what an example is? That is what the OP was saying when they said they could select things with their fingernail. It does not mean that they want it to do that but only showing an example of its sensitivity that their other phone had and I can tell you that you CANNOT do this on the Nexus 4 unless you push somewhat. My GS2 would scroll with no issues by grazing the screen I actually have to push before doing the mod.
There is a temp fix and it works fairly well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289

So there's a strip going across my screen right where you would press to unlock it or where the middle row of keys is on the keyboard where the touch recognition has just stopped working...
The rest of the screen and phone work absolutely perfect except for this thin strip on the screen.
Any one ever seen this before where a certain point of the screen stops working ?
I take great care of my phone and I had used it to txt literally a minute earlier put it on the table and when a reply text came through I picked the phone up and this problem was there.
Factory reset didn't solve the issue so it's gotta be hardware. It's on its way for repair now.
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
Factory reset only resets your settings, if part of your Kernel or ROM corrupted itself then a factory reset would do nothing to fix the issue, try re-flashing stock or whatever you use.

My notif bar is always quick when I pull it down, even when I wake the phone from sleep then pull it down ...I think you just have to tweak kernel and rom settings a bit. Or clear cache...dalvik and app data. Quicker then the htc one from att I had..
Thats just your device man. Mine is smooth as butter, and always has been. I would double check to make sure power saving is disabled, and if it is, then your best bet is to factory reset and see if that makes an improvement.

I had practically no lag out of the box. . . so maybe your phone has a hardware issue.
(since rooting and flashing Shostock2.1, and setting animations to 0 my phone is quick!)
The condition you describe is not normal for our model.
Good Luck
i Had same problems or close to same.
i had phone freezing and also flipping home screen used to freeze I went back stock and re root and flashed custom rom close to stock and i seen no lag
Maybe try some of custom roms ?

I've run about 3 different Roms and I use the gs4 and One daily. The one is quicker. I know from reviews and Google searches I'm not alone in experiencing the lag. Maybe some people are more perseptive to it?
The Google edition ROM was quicker. I already have the Google play edition one though, so I was trying to use touch wiz. I'll see if I can video the lag.

I will tell you that I hate the Nova option because you can do that on any phone and I like to stay on stock launchers. Also, that's just a band aid. An un-optimized software is underneath.
And trust me, I've had the S3, Note 2 and S4.... Flashing a rom is still using their un-optimized software. It just makes it a bit more bearable.
In my Samsung career I've flashed probably over 100 roms. It doesn't hide the flaws enough. I'm over Samsung and feel sorry for the people who are paying an insane amount of money for a phone with that much lag.
