[Q] Samsung Keyboard - Swiftkey flow - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Has anyone experienced an issue where their samsung keyboard's swiftkey flow (swype) function doesn't work anymore?
I can't pinpoint exactly at which point it stopped working.
When I go to keyboard settings, Swiftkey flow is checked, but greyed out so I can't uncheck it or anything else. Tutorial or resetting settings don't seem to resolve anything either.
Very weird.

Hmm no issue here. What rom ate you using?

Is this Swiftkey's Flow or a version on Samsung?
I thought Flow was just an announced but unreleased beta currently?

Im using stock rom havent rooted phone yet and also using go launcher.
The standard samsung keyboards swipe function was working for first few days so dont think it was a matter of ir not being ready or not.

It works fine for me

This same thing just happened to me: swiftkey flow is grayed out, cannot swype any more and can't get it back. Just suddenly stopped working. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try flashing my personal themed one and see what happens.

Go to app manager in the phone settings, choose all apps tab. Find the Samsung keyboard and clear app data. I tried this and viola! swiftkey flow is back. I guess its grayed out so you can't disable it. Anyhow, it's back working now.

gone again.
Contacted Samsung support and their final solution was to do a hard reset. I was unwilling to do that so I rebooted into TWRP and did a nandroid restore and all is working now.

i'm wondering the same thing as the settings say "Swiftkey Flow" and swiftkey is coming out with that product. i believe beta is available to vip members but i haven't tried it yet.

Just happened to mine as well. On cleanrom. Tried to go into app settings and clear data, no luck. Froze and deleted data with titanium, no luck but it did reset personalization settings.
Sucks cuz I use the Samsung kb for work emails since the tw kb is glitchy with that app. Not going to hard reset just for that
Also my swiftkey option is greyed out ss well can't disable to re enable.
Edit:: ok I know it worked out of the box..Maybe not on cleaneom? Might be loosing it lol not sure

Again try my zip and let me know.
I think you can't disable in settings because it's a system application.

My only suggestion is to make sure predictive text is ON.

After getting it working again after restoring from TWRP backup, I woke up this morning and the problem is back again. I like this keyboard because it has the number row but I guess I'll have to go back to swype if this problem can't be fixed. Samsung seems to have no clue. Maybe if more people complain to them, they might look into the cause and fix it.
[Update] I went into Titanium backup and did a data wipe on the Samsung Keyboard and it is now working again!
[Further update] disappears as soon as you start using it. Swiftflow not grayed out in songs but still only allows single key press. Titanium backup cannot restore backup copy.

After unsuccessfully trying to flash a zip to try to disable the sms screen wakeup last night, I restored from a backup I made prior to the zip install.
I left the bottom two options unchecked, I know one was cache but dont recall the other. Anyway I noticed today it's working again and the swiftkey flow option isn't grayed out anymore. There must be a cached setting we are missing?

Due to a different catastrophic failure I got a new Note 2. Within 4 hours, the new one has the same problem. The phone is not rooted and all the software is either from Google Play or Amazon. It still may be some software that is causing the problem but I have no idea which one.
I called Samsung support and they had no idea and are referring it to the "appropriate team" for a fix in the next update. In other words, live with it or use a different keyboard. Except I really like the Samsung keyboard with the numeric row of keys.

Messaging Notification Help

When I get a text message I get this notification in my drop down bar that when i tap on just takes me to handcent, but it won't go away without me hitting clear in the drop down bar. it isn't the handcent notifier either. i don't think it is the regular messaging.app notification either as it wouldn't open handcent and it'd go away when I tap it. Here is a picture:

Did you make sure that notifications are shut off completely in the stock messaging app?

Yeah when I first installed. I can't even find the messaging app in my app drawer now. This has to be some sort of other notification because like I said it sends me to handcent and will not go away without tapping clear.
I'm really hoping someone here will be able to help me with this. It is annoying beyond belief I even had to disable my handcent notifications to stop the double notifications. I can't even check the default messaging app because it seems to not be here anymore, i don't even see it in system/app(s)
thanks guys
Edit: Incase you have signatures off I am running Cyanogen 6.1
Edit 2: Found messaging. Forgot I had it hidden with launcher pro. Notifications are definitely disabled on it too.
Update on this: I've went through every recently installed program and can find NOTHING that indicates some sort of notification. This is *really* bothering me because if I just reinstall CM6 I can't do a full system + data restore with titanium pro because i'll just be in the same boat.
I had this same issue with Handcent, and uninstalled it. Never knew why it would do that, so I turned to chompSMS. No issue since.

So I restored to the 21st (2 days before it started happening) and picked just a select few apps to restore, without data and solve it. I guess my only option now is going to be to do a wipe and fresh install, but I just don't feel like doing that right now. Really wish someone would figure out an easier way to do this
Edit: Guess i'm going to go ahead and wipe and reflash. Will let you know the results.
Yea well I can comfortably say an apparently doesn't cause it since when it happened to me I hadn't installed an apparently In days.

Ah okay. I don't think it was an app honestly. My belief is that it was some sort of corrupted data file. After I wiped and did a fresh install and redownloaded all of my apps from the market it works just fine.

[Q] AfterMarket Text App for Samsung Epic4G Touch problem

Is there a work-around for using a 3rd part text app (go sms pro) on the samsung epic 4g so that it does not interfere with the voice mail app on the phone?
thank you.....
What are you talking about? What is out doing ? You can go into settings and change what the messaging notification looks like

"out doing"???? what are you talking about???
I'll try to be more specific;
IF i install go sms pro (3rd party text app) and someone leaves me a voice mail message, I do not get the message. I receive a text from spring telling me to call a number......
i contact sprint tech support. i was told that the voice mail app on the phone will not work with a 3rd party text app. somehow, they are linked. once i removed the go sms app, i received my voice mail messages....
sorry i was not clearer....

Go sms works just don't override the other notifications when you install. Uninstall reinstall then disable stock notification.
If that doesn't work I've seen a walkthrough fix on sprintusers.com

well i tried that and it's still sending me a text message from "9016" telling me to call Sprint. (I think i did!! that's the option on the go sms app to over-ride the other notifications, correct?..i did try it both ways and it isn't working)...I posted the question on sprintusers.com. i appreciate the time from all of you.
Handcent is working, so I might just go ahead and keep using that app.

It definitely works for go sms. You just have to make sure you're not allowing the over ride when installing. I say give it a go sms again

thank you.
EUREKA!!Got it. After installing the app, go to the app --> advance settings --> Notification Settings and make certain that the box for "Enable notifications" is UNCHECKED. Problem solved!
I have been using GO SMS PRO and I tell you the thing rocks with absolutely no problems. I am using it in my EPI 4G Touch with no problems.
I downloaded Handcent toady and play with it a bit but in my opinion it cna not compare.
The only thing I noticed with GO SMS is that when you attached a picture to your text if you use the GO option instead off the MMS option some people might not be able to see it.
i'm using go sms pro also. it's far better than handcent.
It is messing with the voicemail because you have the default messaging app checked. Uncheck and you should be golden.

Make sure it isn't check and you will still have notifications.

Per App DPI settings without Paranoid Android

Hey, guys! Firefox Beta is currently my browser of choice, but due to the DPI settings of our beloved Nexus 7, the app uses the Phone UI. Just look at it!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, let's take a look at it's layout when it sees a proper tablet DPI.
Fabulous! Now let's figure out how we can achieve this...
First of all, we need to install a framework called Xposed. This handy app can modify your ROM without touching an APK or having to flash anything. If your interested, read more about it in its OP. Speaking of the OP, you'll be downloading the APK at the bottom under attachments
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Open the app and touch the 'Install/Update' button. It should install successfully and request that you reboot your device. Do so now.
Now, we need to grab the app that will allow us to change the DPI settings per app. The app will also allow you to deny permissions to apps, but that's not why we are here.
You'll find the app in the attachment section of the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081
Install it and then open the previously installed Xposed Installer. Switch over to the Modules tab and checkmark the Xposed App Settings. Reboot.
Almost done!
After you've rebooted, open up the Xposed App Settings app. Scroll down to the app you would like to modify. In this case, we'll be changing Firefox Beta to tablet mode. Select Firefox Beta when you find it and enable it. Once enabled, you'll be greeted with the following screen:
Yours won't look exactly like that, but you'll need to make yours look like that also. Your DPI can be anything between 160 and 177. Once you've applied those, touch the wrench icon on the top right and force stop the app. go back to the app and touch the icon to the left of the |> icon. It'll ask you if you want to kill the application, do it again for good measure.
Success! Touch the |> icon to start the app and it should be laid out in all its tablet glory!
Bonus: You can also get the tablet, dual pane version of the Settings app by setting the resolution to 1000x1600 in Xposed App Settings.
In closing, take a look at some before and after pictures for some apps that don't have tablet lay outs by default.

As you can see, most of the text is squeezed together in an undesirable fashion. I switched it back. I also believe Pulse has a tablet layout, but I'm not sure.
If you know of any more apps that do this, let me know.
Tried and followed instruction,was able to change the UI but i think changing the dpi doest work thanks for sharing

Except it's no longer stock; you've modified the framework. Keep that in mind when you get an OTA.
So how do you know if xposed installed the files correctly does it auto reboot?

Not sure I see how Firefox looks any better though. Looks horrible both ways. Truly a terrible browser imo. No redeeming features for me since I am not interested in flash.

I've since ditched the browser for Lightning Browser. Tablet may look the same, but the tab system feels much better in tablet mode.
Flash also works fine on Lightning Browser.
EDIT: OP updated with info for dual pane Settings app. Too lazy to check it? Well, it's simple. Select 1000x1600 resolution for the Settings app.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Interesting. I've been getting this for the last couple days, too. I thought it corresponded with some app updates but I've tried to clear cache on apps and touch wiz also but the problem persists. Hmmm.
Anyone have any ideas?
I got the same thing since a few days ago. It is pretty annoying. Hope somebody can help.
Me as well. Everything has been fine, no new apps and all of sudden Touchwiz is crashing all the time. I'd really like to avoid nuking the phone again.
You say no new apps, but had you updated any? Mine seemed to start doing this after I updated apps. If it's not app updates, it would have to be the auto updating security policy patches. That's all I can think of.
Edit: and if we factory reset, it'll just happen again eventually, I suppose...
O new apps for me updated a few last week this just started about 3 days ago isn't touch wiz an app or does it come in phone I looked in my apps and it is not there but i swear I remember downloading it when I first got phone but I did not like it maybe I am wrong

Touch Wiz is your homescreen, so yeah, it comes on your phone. It's uninstallable (without root) and in all my years of Samsung phones, Samsung has never released an update for it via the Galaxy Apps store. The only way it updates is through an OTA update (full firmware update).
The only things I can of your you guys to do is to try removing Widgets from your homescreen. The app associated with the widget could be causing an issue.
If all else fails, a factory reset will definitely fix this type of issue. I know from experience on older phones.

It's great that this post is here. I just bought my note 4 after owning the OG and Note 2. It has 5.1.1 and I'm with AT&T. I had no idea this was as locked down as it is.
However I too in the last 2-3 days have had TW FC on me. I was using TW as I wanted the Samsung experience. I have had Google Updates in the last couple days but no firmware updates.
I was just going to post my TW problem and trying Google Now for a launcher. It seems not to be as much as a resource hog but still getting some FC issues. I downloaded a Samsung app called Package Disabler Pro that lets you disable TW, Gear processes and lots of others without root. I feel with this and the Now Launcher battery life is greatly improved and there is much less lag if any at all. Just wanted to post. Wondered what others were doing for TW and lag?

I always use Nova Launcher, which may or may not be why I'm not getting the crash.
Has Flipboard or S Voice updated in the last few days? (I've disabled these apps via Package Disabler, so I don't get update notifications). Besides widgets, these are the only 2 other things I can think of that are linked directly to TW (Touch Wiz).

Try this. Go to settings- Applications tab- Application Manager
Then follow the pictures I attached. WARNING: This will reset your homescreen layout.
Do the following for both of these apps if it allows you:

}
Then push these buttons in the numbered order:
I already tried all the clearing of the touchwiz apps and setup my home screen again. It didn't fix the problem.
I have several apps disabled but I don't know why that would cause this. What's interesting to me is that multiple people are getting the same problem around the same time. This would make me believe that the cause is some sort of update of something, whether it be an app or other system file update like security policy stuff that updates itself "behind the scenes."
Looks like I might factory reset. It's getting bad on my end. I already have stuff backed up anyway.
Well I switched to Google launcher and I am now getting one that say Google has stopped gonna try to clear the cache see what happens

I already tried all the clearing of the touchwiz apps and setup my home screen again. It didn't fix the problem.
I have several apps disabled but I don't know why that would cause this. What's interesting to me is that multiple people are getting the same problem around the same time.

It's definitely weird that several people started having the same problem at the same time. I was hoping the cache/data clearing would help though.
Please let everyone know your results after a factory reset. I hate suggesting that since it's what customer service reps always suggest (they know nothing except what's on their computer screen), but I do think it'll fix the issue. As for what caused the problem in the first place: I'm stumped.

I decided not to factory reset yet and instead try to narrow this down. For me, I noticed that every time I rebooted, Weatherbug would force close, then eventually touchwiz would later on. Cleared everything on that app and the phone seems to be running much smoother, and so far, no force closes on anything for over an hour. Crossing fingers.
Does anyone else here use Weatherbug?
Started having the same issues recently.
Started having the same issues recently... just about a 4 o five days.... mu touch wiz don't respond and its freeze !!!
Crashing for me too.
I've tried everything to fix this error. Factory reset doesn't work. It has been going on for the last 3 days. The only apps installed are facebook, fb messenger and chrome. I'm guessing one or more app updates is causing touch whiz to crash.
I am finding it does not matter what launcher you use it will crash although mine seems to do it more when I am exiting Facebook

Clear Gboard cache and data. If that doesn't work I would recommend a factory reset.

It looks like your keyboard is using a transparent theme of some sort. If you don't wanna clear your cache and data for Gboard... Try just changing the theme on it.

Is this happening in a specific app or in every text box?

Could you take a screenshot of your app drawer? There might be something installed that's conflicting with Gboard. I've never seen this or heard of anyone with this issue. You're totally stock right?

I'm assuming you have a lot more apps than that right? If you're having problems uploading screenshots it's because of Tapatalk. I switched to the XDA app because of it.

Strange. Nothing really out of the ordinary. You should also check through the list of apps in the settings app. Sometimes things can get reinstalled that wouldn't show up necessarily in the app drawer.
