Android 5.1 Keyboard Lag - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there , so i flash the new 5.1 on my Nexus 5.
All is nice till some hours past and i notice my typing are getting slow and the keyboard takes time to show the letter on box , is like 1 , 2 secs but the lag is there and after reboot all is fine , for some hours only.
I send a lot of sms and right a lot in Facebook and in 4.4.4 i never was this problem.
Can anyone help me?

Reproduce with a different keyboard. Try SwiftKey.

I want to use the stock one ?

Impossible to use stock keyboard , have to install another one.

Use a different keyboard so we could tell if this is a ROM or app issue.

swiftkey is fine

Still were the lag..

How much free RAM do you have? It sounds honestly like you could be hitting the system area memory leak bug.

Talking about I5800XXJPF

Hi everybody,
Here is my first experience with this version :
- Rooted successfuly with OneClickRoot 1.5.5
- GPS : first, it wasn't working properly (slow and not allways working). Then I installed GPS Status (which download an xtra.bin file) and put XTRA option activated in gpssetup2. I also modified the gps.conf file as shown in an other thread. ==> GPS working good and quick ! good news !
*EDIT* : FasterFix doesn't work, application display stays black, no menu scroll down to change location. Octy doesn't improve gps too. Only way for me was to change manually gps.conf.
- Quadrant score : about 350 with some very shorts slow down during test ... I don't know why (I killed every process before runing quadrant)....
- It's smooth to use but ... after "playing" with GPS Status, GPS Test and Maps, system becomes VERY slow during a few minutes, even after killing all process ...
I don't know if LagFix V2 will resolve this problem, I don't think so but I didn't make the test. Quadrant score goes to 570 with LagFix but what is the real effect on the system ?
- No other problem discovered yet but there are a lot of functions to test ...
- Let's see tomorow about battery life ...
What about you ?
Best regards and sorry for my english ...

Thanx for the feedback.. also waiting to know the battery life as well.. having hell lot of problem with JPA and JPB (
Installed it a while ago, but haven't noticed any big differences in smoothness or features. No news with GPS either. It still works relatively well after applying modified gps.conf.
The rom still does not include Finnish or Swedish keyboard layouts, but you can install gingerbread keyboard that has them.
Rooting confirmed to work with OneClickRoot 1.5.5.
Also, MusicPlayer.apk from stock android doesn't work anymore. It did with XXJPB, but now it complains about shared libraries missing. Will just have to use the samsung's one.

This slowness bug after using GPS has was in JPB too. The phone might become completely unusable for few minutes. Reboot of course solves this as well as waiting.

This was the case in all previous firmwares as well? Swype was never the default input method for me. Talking about Swype: does it respond quick to the word you swyped? Because With JPA/JPB I always had to wait a few seconds after swyping a word before it would appear on the screen.

Could have been because my phone didn't clear my old settings when i reflashed.. and nope swype doesn't seem to have any kind of delay on the words.. at least not when it finds the exact word.. if it finds multiple words it has a slight delay tho

[Q] android keyboard lag

Does anyone else face a keyboard lag? How do i solve this problem? Its getting irritating cause when i type some letters don't come up. I don't think its the sensitivity problem as when i type in slow motion all the letters come up.
Thanks in advance!
What phone are you using?
did you move some (system-)apps to sd-ext?
I only know this problem from my old G1 / HTC Magic, which usually ran low on ram which was the reason for the lag

Try other Keyboard from the market...I would suggest ICS keyboard downloadable free from the market and see if that works...else try to free some ram by removing unnecessary background application. I have used the phone and I dont think there should be any problem

Its the same case in my mobile. i mean there's not option for enabling that or rather disabling that because it is enabled by default.

pixel 3 modded launcher

Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.
Have been through pretty much every launcher and this adds to a better user experience.
The version i'm using is P-4623511 -modded-5.2.0
New themeable launcher here.

Oh crap really! Hmmm I'll see if I can find the original, I've got a titanium back up if it on my phone, are you rooted? It's working for me, same version etc.
Sorry pal, I'll have a look tomorrow for you.
Let me know if you want the titanium restore file.
Try this one mate

Any tips and tricks you recommend for this launcher?
New launcher now in OP
New features:
Theming

I'd say use swap torpedo to eliminate system lag in general.

You have to manually give all permissions before opening for the fist time.

The link in the op works on non rooted handsets (it did on mine anyway!)
Be sure to give the app all available permissions BEFORE you run it for the first time or it will crash.

How are you guys getting this to work? I installed Launcher3-aosp-optimized.apk then updated the permissions but I can't run it. I would have expected to just press the home button and it would ask which launcher I want to use but that doesn't happen.

In the settings app search for 'Default Apps' then select Launcher3 from the 'Launcher' option.

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
