SwiftKey won't stay as default - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get SwiftKey to stick as the default app.
It always pops up the HTC keyboard after a while.

This seems to be a problem with SwiftKey. To fix it I disabled all other keyboards with Titanium Backup.

The issue is that Google Play installs paid apps in a particular location on your phone and that in some versions of Android this location is not available at the point in the boot process where keyboards are being switched on. So your phone does not know that you have SwiftKey, and it defaults back to the phone's keyboard.

I've googled the issue already, it's not this.
It's worked on viper rom normally before.
But now after reflashed everything, it doesn't work.
It's not a boot issue, it will overwrite the SwiftKey app at random, or when the screen is off for a while (when I'm not using SwiftKey).

Android Market not showing all downloaded apps in "my apps" section??

I've had this issue with the Android Market 3.1.5 (and lower) - stock 2.3.4, no root.
Usually if I get a notification that I have an app update and click on it, it takes me to the my apps section however there are only the paid apps i've bought sitting there. Not the other 90 apps that I've downloaded free.
I go and clear data and that works sometimes. And other times it doesn't. I've submitted the problem to Google but I was wondering if others see this behavior and if there are any work arounds???? It's real frustrating.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Market. Rebooted phone, pulled battery. Even done a factory reset. This happens on my E4GT and my Evo4G.

If you restored a backup chances are market links were restored and you will have to wait for an update or unstall and reinstall the app

It is selected and even if I toggle them, nothing improves.

I have the same issue, I prefer the older market version (wich does show all my apps, and shows the updates better also), but it wont allow me to keep it from updating for some reason, even if I freeze market updater.
it always upgrades to 3.15 after a few times going into market
this has been happening to me since I got the phone. I rooted and then went back to stock kernel, which kept me rooted. I restored my titanium backup apps with data and I believe that may have something to do with it.
as soon as I see that I have updates I know I will have to go to applications and clear data and reopen and it will then show me all of my apps again.
I talked with Google's Market help today. They know about this and are trying to figure it out.

[Q] Swiftkey X does not stay default CM7

I'm running Swiftkey X on my Desire with CM7. I cannot get it to stay as the default keyboard - I had the same issue with Oxygen. Any tips on getting it to stay as the default keyboard?

Any chance you have Swiftkey X installed to your SD card? I had this problem at first, then realized that whenever my SD card was unmounted, the keyboard would switch back to the original one.
I did. I've moved it back to the phone, so we'll see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

In settings/keyboard make sure SwiftKey is ticked. You might also need to run the app again from app list to config it correctly.

No problem!
you could also try before flashing cm put swiftkeyx.apk into \system\app which would install it on the system partition, then using titanium backup market doctor to link it back to your gmail so you could update it etc.... It's worth a shot I guess.
Same problem here
Hey so did you get swiftkey to maintain default?

try using root explorer.apk or android commander (PC application) to install swiftkey X on the system partition, and removing Latin IME.apk, should do it I guess.

Choose input method

I have been using SwiftKey 3 for a while, but every day (at least once sometimes more) I am asked to 'Choose input method'. How do I stop this and keep SwiftKey as my keyboard?

When does it tell you? Is it when you are required to type or just randomly out of the blue?
I'm rooted, and have Swiftkey. I also have Titanium Backup app. If I had your issue, one way to deal with it, would be to freeze the stock keyboard via Titanium.

Yes apparently there is a bug with the latest JB for AT&T so when you reboot your phone it defaults to the Samsung Keyboard.

Well, that may be it, as it does 'sometimes' default back to the Samsung keyboard. But only sometimes, sometimes it asks and SwiftKey is already selected. And, it doesn't take a reboot. In fact, it just showed up now as I write this post. I am using a rooted stock LK3 rom.

Swift keyboard issues.

I downloaded the swift keyboard app since I like it more than the Samsung standard keyboard.
My issue is that even tho I set the swift keyboard as default, when I restart my phone, it will always revert back to samsung. Any ideas how to stop this?

I always use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the stock keyboard. So I've never had a problem with this.

Ok google everywhere not giving me that option to turn it on

I have the latest google search and google play services. Running cleanrom 3.5. Earlier in the week i tried the unlockgoogle method but no result. Tried the most recent idea of "ok google everywhere" and tried "okay google everywhere", same result, only option I get is within google search app. Have audio history turned on.
Did you change the voice to US English?
Mine wouldn't work with UK English, but did when changed to US.
Even got it working on my stock 4.4 Xperia Z.

I did a full wipe and reinstall of cleanrom, updated everything in google play before doing anything else, and now it appears. Will see if restore of apps makes it disappear again.
I have the option to enable it, but when I get to the setup screen where you're supposed to say "OK Google" 3x, nothing happens. Also, I've realized that "OK Google" doesn't even work within Google Now. It just doesn't register that I've said anything. But if I click the mic icon, I can use the voice search. It's just the hotword detection that doesn't work at all. I've got a VZW Note 3, rooted stock ROM, stock recovery.
Just wondering if anyone else with a Note 3 is having the same issue. If it's device related, I can stop trying until the next official update from VZW. Which will probably be just under 3 years from now
