For a while, I thought it was my phone that was having issues, but I happened upon the issue noted in the link below. Also, see attached screenshot for sample of the issue. Tested Swype with stock browser and it works fine.
I use Swype as my primary keyboard and have gotten so used to it that I can't imagine using anything else at this time.
If you too have, or experience this problem, go to the link below and leave your comment or star the issue.

Edit:
Forgot to mention that I'm on stock/official ICS(UCLF6). Not certain if this problem exists in other ICS builds.

I use Swype all the time as well as chrome on my note, and I don't have this problem. I'm using a custom ics ROM black star currently, but even with other ics roms, still haven't had this problem in the URL bar. It has happened to me in the captcha input box on this page though on the second word...
Are you using the version of Swype includes with the build or the latest beta from their website?
I'm using the newest beta and don't have this issue.
Incidentally, the new beta can be loaded alongside the pre-installed version now.
I use SwiftKey and whenever I type on chrome it works fine the first word or two then it starts duplicating the same word over and over again until I close out of the keyboard and reopen it. It drives me crazy!

Same exact thing happens to me (Swype though) on both my nexus 7 and note.. It is killing me! Had to revert to another keyboard. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I had no idea that the new version of Swype can be sideloaded with the stock version that came with the stock rom. I know in the past, this was not the case! Thank you much...the new version resolved this problem for me!

Happens to me too sometimes. It thinks you're still Swyping. It hadn't happened for awhile but it might have been in chrome now that you mention it.
Side note. I noticed on S3 the next word predictions show up, but they don't on the note.

This is the first version that can be installed alongside the pre-installed version.
Glad it worked for you.
I've also noticed much more consistent next word prediction and it automatically saved new words for you. Also knows makes from your contacts and it can connect to Facebook and Twitter for the same thing.
I have this problem on my sony xperia s
Same problem here as well. Stock Rogers ICS.
I actually don't use the actual swype feature, as I just like the keyboard for the ability to long press keys to get punctuation, and symbols. Swyping in a text box does help fix the problem for me though!

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?
Anyone else having connection errors with the main Facebook app or even trying to link their Facebook account with other apps like, Ruzzle and FriendCaster? I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. It's just odd...
Sounds like a Facebook error. Also more info would be nice like rom

Sorry about that. I posted this in the ROM thread but I don't think it's ROM related.
ROM: [Rom] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2) | Task650 & Ktoonsez (12/2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718
Happens to me also. I'll just be scrolling through facebook, and the "connection error" bar will come down even though I have a perfectly good connection. It won't load anything new until the app is killed and restarted. And then it's only a matter of time before it happens again. I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the app.
It's not the ROM. It's been happening on my gnex, nexus 7, and my wife's HTC one S. ****ty app is ****ty.

Excellent. At least we have come to the conclusion that it's Facebook and not the ROM or my phone. I guess we'll just have to keep harassing Facebook until they finally so something...
did you guys modify hosts file to block ads? I did that and had connection trouble with some sites/apps. I couldnt pinpoint the entry so I just cleared it. just a thought.

Wow that was literally my problem! I use AdAway, disabled ad blocking, and Facebook works beautifully now...! Let me see if I can mess with the files to not block Facebook. Thank you!
no prob.
for anyone else, be sure to disable the blocking (meaning, clear the hosts of entries) instead of just uninstalling. uninstalling adaway while its still enabled leaves the host filled with all the adblocking lists. they should change that.

I'd rather not disable my adblocker... I'll see if I can figure out what's causing it. Maybe not though, as I haven't had any trouble at all recently. Perhaps the hosts were updated to account for this.

I still have AdAway blocking, I just had to uncheck graph.facebook.com. Don't know why they would want to block Facebook. I emailed the developer to see if there was any more Facebook restrictions.
Hi!
I can't connect to the new services of Google Play Games with any games, I tried SuperStickMan Golf 2 and some more and all are left with a white screen (loading) until the sign in fails ("unknown error" for example).
I have Hangouts running (that use the newest version of Google Play Services) and a Google+ account linked to the google phone account.
Have a International rooted Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution v17.
Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks
EDIT: A Wipe Data and flashing new ROM (Wanam) fixed the problem temporarily.
But right now I still can't access any other game. Only StickManGolf is still working with Google Play Games functions, although I clear data WTF!!
And the worst is that I find no information about this problem
This wont help at all but im running wanam's n7105 version of his rom on my phone and i logged in successfully with riptidegp and world of goo and i didnt have hangouts installed but i did install the game service from android headlines. So they do work i guess

Solved! Thanks for the link.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Finally got a solution if it doesn't let you pick your friends on the player list, I emailed them and they gave me the answer. For some reason the game isn't seeing your circles, but I believe I've found the solution.
First, log in to Google+ on your computer. In the upper left area of the screen you'll see the "Home" button. Hover your mouse over it and a window will slide into view from the left. Select "Settings" at the bottom. Next, scroll down to "Apps" and select "Manage Apps". In the white box, hover your mouse over PBA Bowling Challenge, then click on the Pencil icon that appears to the right to "Edit App". Select "Advanced Connection Settings". A window should pop up showing you all the circles that the game can see, so you can select to add your circles from here. Please note that it might take a little while for the changes on the website to show up in the game.
From what I have seen on videos and read on various blogs and from people using early AOSP builds, the new Google Search is significantly improved - most importantly in terms of speed, which has always been my biggest gripe with it. So earlier I pretended like I still had a nexus and tried to install the new apk from the factory image over the one we all have, and predictably, it opened but would FC every time I tried to run a search. Anybody else tried? anybody havE any thoughts on how we might be able to make it work?

Yeah, just need to change language then change back. Also make sure you have the latest Play Services version installed.
