Hi, I've been using swiftkey as my default keyboard now for many months, however over the couple of months I've noticed that it keeps resetting the default back to the android keyboard. This is now happening more frequently and is really annoying as I typically only notice it when I need to respond to an sms or email. Sadly it's not just as simple as long pressing an input field and reselecting swiftkey via the input method as it actually de-selects it from the keyboard settings.
I could really use some advice as, I having paid for this app, I want it to work.
To confirm I don't get any crashes or errors and I haven't been able to tell what is causing it.
Just throwing it out there, as i have never tried anything like it, but is it whenever it is updated from the market? Because if that is the case, you can just stop updates and only install new versions on demand.
Try moving app from SD card to phone or try new beta version of swiftkey X.
Settings>Language & keyboard settings>set Swiftkey keyboard. If this does not work, try wat ksavai said.
Good advice thanks. The app is now moved to SD card so I'll see how it goes.
oh and to answer the other point, the issue is that the Swift option is de-clicked in the options / keyboard screen
I have just the problem when i reboot my phone, now with swiftkey beta i have no problem
ok so it looks like it must have been a conflict on the old swifkey app. I moved it to the SD card and it failed almost immediately.
Now on beta and it hasn't failed once.
So will I have to pay again for this version?
Hi
I am also a SwiftKey user, I don’t think we ll have to pay for the new version, the licence will be valid for both keyboard....

Recently I have been having a little trouble with inputting text on my lovely little G2. I can't remember a specific moment when it started, a new app that I may have downloaded, or even an app update that would have affected this. (Perhaps the new cover on it has ruined everything... curses!) j/k
Here's the hitch: I can't type anything on my phone. I can't enter text with the stock Android keyboard or with Swype. I can't type in text to email, text messaging, gtalk, or a browser search. Turning the phone off and on results in temporary superior performance. But alas, it just doesn't stick.
Any suggestions?

Hmm, that's rather odd. Try to do a battery pull?
Try downloading some sort of keyboard from the market. Maybe it'll work if you use a third party keyboard.
... Also are you rooted?

Hello Everyone,
As you know, when you have multiple apps that can fulfill the same function Android asks you to choose one as the default. My problem is, if I choose one other than the built in Android app (like "Browser") it will lose it's setting after reboot. I've tried searching the forums for a solution but most of the threads deal with how to clear the default app setting and don't deal with how to make the default app settings permanently stick. I've tried apps like "Default App Manager" but after reboot it still resets. Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Thanks.
are you checking the checkbox on the bottom that says "Remember my Decision" (well something like that) when asked which action to do? you gotta check that dude..
Yes, I have been doing that! That of course was the first thing that I did: Check the box to remember and than click on the app. That's why I find this behavior so strange. I notice this was happening on both the R800a build that came with the phone, and the new .368 rom that I just loaded. Note that I also made it a point to keep these programs on the phone memory rather than the SD card, but it still makes no difference.
Same problem here...
at least don't nag.. was just trying to help
Sorry, to sound like I was nagging on you. I just assumed the obvious but I should have clarified that in my original post.
Try using different alternative apps. Like opera or dolphin for browser

Hi Cat,
That's what I'm doing, but the problem is when an app requires the browser to be opened it will ask for me to choose an app. I check the box at the bottom and then click on Opera. This will be remembered by android as long as I don't reboot the phone. The minute I reboot the phone it will forget what I set and ask me to choose a default app again. This is quite annoying.
Did you edit your build. Prop?
Deleted any system apps?

I only froze things like facebook etc. and have the problem of reconfirming default actions again and again. Someone suggested to make Sure replacement microsd should have same volume name like PHONE CARD or whatever original was. I,m not at my pc so cannot check if that fixes it. Hope it helps

Sometimes if you are getting Force-Closes, the system will reset the "Default" action for that intent if the intent failed with a force close of an app. Are you getting many FCs?
*shrugs* Past that, not sure what would be causing it. Maybe another app?
Hey all,
I'm a noob and do apologize if this has been answered or wrong section but I'm having a couple issues with my S3. I recently flashed the CM10 stable ROM to my device(love it) and did a restore of all my apps. I'm having issues with 2 of them that I can see.
First is Swiftkey. When I go to use the voice input method, it will allow me to speak and will give me the 3 options to put in the message body. but once I select the proper phrase nothing will appear in the text body. this only seems to be an issue when in a text message. it works in apps like facebook and google now
The second is with my TD banking app. If I go to transfer money from accounts or pay bills etc. the keystrokes don't appear in the text box. This only happens when doing a monetary value, putting my account number and password works no problem.
I've reinstalled the bank app and cleared the cache/data on both apps and still no solution.
I appreciate any tips or help to get this working.
Thanks!
My One V is rooted but running the standard firmware. Problem is the default HTC text / SMS app. It often refuses to fully open (stays half open on white screen) or takes a minute or two to fully open. In addition "unread sms" notifications are not correctly update (I open a message but it still stays 'unread').
I have deleted all but a hundred or so messages in case there were too many.
I have removed all non-stock launchers and the like.
Situation improves after a reboot but only for one or two uses then the SMS app is back to misbehaving.
Phone is fully up to date apart from last minor (22mb) OTA update - that will not install for some reason.
Any suggestions anyone? I can live with everything else on the phone but this fault is really annoying.
Thanks in advance...
I suggest you back up everything and do a factory reset that should help

Thanks for the suggestion. I want to avoid that hassle if I can.
I am trying now the "Chomp SMS" app instead of the normal one. No lag or hangs so far
Some say it's that one the best: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result&hl=en
Thanks, I might try it if the Chomp one does not work out. I tried the Go Launcher and some other of their apps before but was not too impressed. Not too fast, left many folders on the phone when un-installed etc.
So far the Chomp SMS app works fast and is easy to customize. It does show ads however unless I pay.
I'm new to this forum as I recently purchased a T-Mobile S4.I have Googled and searched like crazy and I can't find an answer to this problem.
When I encounter a link, or anything else that brings up the Application Selection dialog, I pick out the application that I would like to use as the default, and then select "always". Android responds with a message about how to clear my selection later on... But it doesn't remember the selection. If I pick another link, I have to go through it all again.
I've cleared all defaults, checked the one I'm trying, used the default app picker, tried the Xposed Xposed framework... I'm out of ideas. I really want to set up my apps and move on.
I'm not a noob to Android. The phone is rooted, but on a stock room. TWRP is installed.
Any ideas?

It's Samsung, not Android. THis has been an issue for me with the S4, S5, Note 3 and Note Pro 12. Might have been with the S3 but I don't remember. They're screwing up the expected Android behavior, likely to annoy people into using the apps they want us to use.

I can't say I've ever experienced problems with my preferences sticking; Samsung apps or not...
I have this exact problem on my rooted, unlocked S4, running the latest KitKat update (4.4.2). It only seems to be happening with the phone diling action, though. For all other actions, once I pick the default app, it sticks, but clicking on a phone number link always brings up the default selection prompt, even though I've already selected the stock Phone app a zillion times already.The stock Phone app comes pre-selected in the window, which means that it does recognize the previous selections somehow (and also, in Application Manager, I can see that it is selected as the default "for some actions"), and yet, I still get prompted EVERY TIME. The only way to get rid of the prompt is to uninstall every single app that is capable of handling the dialing action (Skype, Zoiper, Avast, Lookout, etc.), and ONLY then does the Phone app get launched by default.
This is beyond annoying, considering that dialing from phone number links in various apps is just about the most frequent action I use.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, I'd be very grateful.
