Hi
I've noticed that my Nexus 4 has been overheating a lot ever since the 4.3 update. Additionally, whenever I try to rearrange apps on the home screen, I get and error that the Launcher has stopped working.
Has this happened to anybody else, and more importantly, is there a fix? Please help!
Oh and I should mention that my nexus 4 is stock and unrooted.
Thanks
PS: *Unrelated* The Facebook app has started misbehaving and restarts whenever I try to open a conversation. Reinstalling does not fix this problem. If you have a solution, please help.

overheating.. if its not shutting itself down at 100C, then its not overheating. and i highly doubt its reaching 100C. why do you say overheating? does it "feel" hot to you? you do realize that "feel" isnt a way to tell what temperature it is. what temperature does it reach for you to say overheating? cpu temp? battery temp?when most people say "overheating", what they really mean is that they feel the heat through the back glass, which is normal. the phone will get warm as you use it, thats how its supposed to work.
and what launcher are you using?
also, the facebook app has been misbehaving for years, its a known bad app. i uninstalled facebook more than a year and a half ago, and cant be happier. their site is just as good as their app, but their site doesnt misbehave constantly.

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.

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.
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

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.
I a bit disappoint with the lag when unlocking from active notificaction.
following this forum https://forums.motorola.com/posts/d5a9438952?page=5 I have found a trick that may fix the lag or at least be less periodicall.
You need to uninstall all the updates for hangout and dont use it as your sms app. At least for me lag occurs to me less often as before. Then set your unlock securty to none, wake your phone from Active Notificacions, and finally restore your security.
I just notice that before getting into home, sometimes it goes to the normal unlock screen.
EDIT: you need to do a full wipe instalation using RSD lite and then when prompt for to restore from your google account DO NOT restore. doing that way I did not have any more lag even using GEL.

Guys I think there is an issue when installed from OTA or installed the full package. You need to perform a full factory reset, I did installed with RSD lite, then do not restore from your google account. Then the lag is not there, I had been testing during a full day.

For those who are too lazy or don't think you need to do that, then stop complaining, you chose not to use the tools at your disposal.

You are right but there is a consideration, yo need to do not restore anything from your account, just log in. if you restore configs the problem persists.
Non root I use helium back up, with root I use titanium.
I have wiped and restored my phones probably in excess of a thousand times in the last few years. System data I never restored, only restored app data from apps that don't already sync and are sensitive/business orientated apps... So basically, of the 150-200 apps I have at any given time, I probably only restore data for 1-2 dozen. This method has never failed me.
I never use the Google account back up... It's garbage... In fact, it's the first thing I disable on setup and the first thing I freeze when I obtain root

OK I had done a reset before, still the lock screen lag. This time, used rsd lite. Complete fresh install of 4.4 no backup of anything. Now this morning the lag is back sometimes. So this did not solve it for me. I am using art, and gel launcher.

What happens if you dont use ART and GEL? is still the lag?, I think that the lag using GEL is because he nneds to ypdate feeds on google now.
