[Test] Eliminate deadlocks by freezing Google Keyboard? - Nexus 4 General

On a fresh rom (irrelevant which, they all seem to more or less have it) install and while using SwiftKey, I got repeated Google Keyboard fc's. Seen that they usually appear while typing, freezing it with TiBu might be a solution to the deadlocks.
Make sure you have a third party keyboard installed.
Please post your findings!

I've never had this issue with stock 4.3...
Have you tried updating the keyboard?

You have to force update... the app itself won't give any warning...

He's likely referring to the gapps version.

Tried it previously and it does not solve the issue. I've had deadlocks opening applications as well as doing other activities besides typing.

Deadlocks are more frequent for me when using the browser of playing games. I got like five in a row while playing subway surfer, so I'm presuming the GPU driver is one source of deadlock.

Hm, bummer.. Thanks

i get the keyboard freezes almost exclusively while using hangouts(about 2-3 times every 2-3 days).. so i deleted hangouts and installed talk. i thought that it would make a difference, but my fourth day using talk i got a keyboard freeze. im considering completely removing hangouts/talk from my device to see if there will be a difference, since i only get that keyboard freeze using gtalk. the only thing thats stopped me from removing them completely is that others get the freezes under different situation.

I tested too, I freezed the AOSP keyboard with TiBu and, as a matter of fact, I just had a freeze. My SwiftKey closed down after... I have freezes under whatsapp as well.

When I was using JSS roms, i had deadlocks even on games where I didn't use keyboard so I guess your solution fix nothing... However good try

I've frozen / completely deleted the AOSP keyboard. Still get the occasional deadlock, sometimes when just unlocking the phone.

Lag!

I get tons of lag with the built in swype keyboard and anything dealing with google voice.
Any clue what is going on?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Not wanting to be the guy that says "nah nah na-nah nah" but I use swype exclusively and google voice a.great bit. Have you changed any settings recently? Try stopping the swype and google voice services and rebooting.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I'm not experiencing lag in Google Voice with Swype. I use them together many times each day. Do you experience the same problem when you toggle back to the stock keyboard? Have you installed any third party keyboards or security apps that record key strokes?
No strange apps here.
Tried uninstalling reinstalling flatting and stopping.
No idea what it could be.... I guess it its good you guys aren't having issues.

Odd... I removed a couple keyboard (SwiftKey touchpal flext9) that weren't even "active" and it seems to have fixed it.

Stock browser tabs won't close until after 3th-7th try? Does this happen to you?

Hi, for the first time ever I am considering using a 3rd party browser. But this is not the topic of this thread. What I am curious about is whether or not you guys have the same stock browser problem as I do.
This bug has never happen to me until the latest OTA update for the D3. When I try to close some browser tabs, it brings to that page instead of closes it. Sometimes I need to press the close button several times (sometimes 5) in order for the close to register properly.
I'm using the Verizon Motorola Droid 3.
Does this happen to you?
Since the day Oeramini and Operamobile were released I haven't opened the android's stock browser a single time.
Like you, the stock browser was having "issues" here and there. I didn't bother looking up any fixes, and just went with Opera Mini.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
OP:
It's cause the close button is tiny and you keep missing it.
It used to happen to me all the time, then I learned to aim.
You'll get the hang of it
This phone comes with a stock browser? When I logged into google the first thing it auto-downloaded was dolphin HD.

It only did that because your apps r set to back up on googles servers...so when u activate a google account on an android phone it puts all your apps on it. So yes, of course there's a stock browser!

Nope, I tested on my left pinky finger, my right pinky finger, the tip of my nose, and naturally, my thumb. It is not my carelessness that caused this to happen. So tell me, does anyone experience the same as I have?

Sometime, the problem may be caused by the touch-screen. From dev side, the touch point which is sent to browser is not correct. The 3rd-party browser would be a better choice. Stock browser really lack some feature which other browser did a great job.
You can try Boat Browser. Check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308752
this happens to me as well, even before the update. Seems that it is sometimes a long press that fixes it, annoying as all...

Exactly, long press seems to fix the issue 25% of the time. But 25% is rough guess and is still an annoyingly small amount.
The issue did occur before update, but it didn't occur ever so often.
Please, I just want people to confirm that this is an issue on everyone elses device.

rom links dead
I fixed the links. All links for the ROM and Gapps are posted on the Downloads page of my site from now on. Just follow the link.
I just switched back to Hanger's ROM from CM9 and I must say, even though it doesn't get as high of benchmarks, it feels a whole lot snappier and there seems to be 0 lag in his ROM. Very pleased and will probably use it as a daily driver now. Thanks a bunch for your hard work. Hope everything in your family is OK now.

I've learned after years of computer use and building and repairing them that benchmarks don't always mean anything. Benchmarks rarely test the average performance that a user will experience.

I just went to ad fly homepage and manually entered the download code or whatever to the end of the URL. Worked for me.
Rom ui looks awesome. Running smooth so far. Little bit of keyboard lag but that's par for the course with ics from my experience. Can tell you put a lot of time into this.

OK its been a few hours now and the keyboard lag is getting really bad in some instances. Also, in the messaging app, hitting the button to start a new convo just crashes back to the home screen. That's all I've really noticed so far.

Hanger doesn't check this thread regularly; if you have a "bug," see OP and report it in the bug tracker so it can be addressed in the next update.

Did you make sure and do a full wipe first? You didn't by chance restore data with TBU did you?
I've been running this ROM for weeks and I don't have either bug on my install.
Sent from my EPAD using XDA Premium HD app
Love the ROM but have some lag...
I'm having lag to the point of frozen. I've had to pull the battery about 4 times in the last 3 days. It's not related to USB issues since I'm not plugged in when it happens. The apps (not any in particular) seem to overload the phone's ability to process. If I'm lucking it reboots - otherwise it's a battery pull.
I did restore data using TBU and I'm using the "lazy" kernel configuration.
Other than that I really love this ROM. Seriously. It has every buzzer and whistle I could hope for and they all work.

Yeah when i was testing for Hanger and i ran in to similar probs in the alpha builds don't restore data via tbu. the problems for me went away when i didn't. Also double check your cwm version, make sure it's the newest for the inc.

the LAG thread --__--

Hey
just wanted to start a thread about the lag i've experienced on my nexus 7 and wanted to know who else has experienced it. With me its happened randomly a few times like ill exit an app then when i swipe through the home screen its really jerky. my unit isnt rooted, everything stock even the launcher.
So yeah if anyone has experienced it post BELOWWWWWWWW (ray william johnson voice) lol.
Just wanted to add this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258 for people to visit to help raise awareness to Google about the issue.
Have you gotten the latest update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1
Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.
No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.
I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better
It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.
Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?

I had the same issue, I have found that turning of rotation, sync and multi window seem to resolve it (I usually just swipe down and switch everything off now just to be sure!)

Hi
The game is crashing after every event/course. I have to relaunch the game .
It crashes when it tries to connect to Origin ? I have a circle infinite loop, then crashes.
Error is "NFS has stopped", and if i wanna read error log, i also have "Google Play has stopped"
Sync, rotation Multiwindows are disabled obv.
So, after each challenge/run, i have to relaunch game, annoying

Just turn off your Flipboard app. Settings/Device settings/Program manager/find a Flipboard and press on it, and press turn off.BTW:Just turn off all settings on status bar, because it works too.
