Hello guys,
I am having this more than an year old Nook HD+ .It is rooted but on stock rom. From past 2-3 weeks i am experiencing problems with it.The pages are turning on its own in Epub and automatically randomly the applications open without even touching the screen.An i observed on left side near the corner of the screen the touch isn't working.My password has the letter P in it and that side the touch isn't working.Sometimes during random moments it works.
Really annoying. I disregistred the device and registered again....Same problem persists.
Any solutions ??
Thanks.
Do you use any screen protector on it? Did you try cleaning the screen?
It looks like a defective digitizer.

Hi, after a while checking arround problems related with the screen aligment i found out that a lot of people have that problem.
I saw videos where you touch the left side and the phone recognizes the left side.
In my case is just a bit disaligned but is totally annoying align the screen a couple of times a day...final conclusion another diamond faulty?

Since day one, I've had touchscreen issues. When the charger is plugged in, the keyboard is unusable. One touch triggers keys all over the place faster than I could ever touch the screen. Unplugging the charger fixes that issue.
After a while, phantom presses start happening. If an app supports multitouch zoom, it becomes impossible to scroll instead of zooming. Keeping the screen clean seems to delay the problem from happening. If the problem presents, just cleaning the screen won't help. I have to turn the display off and back on for any effect. I've heard putting on a screen protector helps with this issue, but I haven't had a chance get one. If the screen protector just masks the issue, that doesn't seem like a good fix.
Should I try to get a replacement Nook Color now that doesn't have these issues or should I wait until the last month of my warranty to see if I can get more developed hardware? There doesn't seem to be a consensus if these issues are hardware or software.

That must be frustrating. Mine does not behave this way at all (though I've only had it for 4 days). If you bought it in the store, I'd exchange it. If you bought it via the BN ebay store, I'd try the screen protector first as I hear it's quite an ordeal returning it via ebay.
This us a very common issue. It has something to do with sensitivity of the screen increasing greatly when the unitbis charging or the screen brightness is way up. I just chage mine at night and don't worry about it.
I was having a lot of problems with phantom touches -- I even replaced my 2nd NC just to get another one that had the same issue. I ended up putting on a B&N anti-glare screen protector and haven't witnessed any phantom touches since then.
Edit: I actually meant to post this in the other phantom touches thread. ;/
Happens a lot to me even while unplugged. Known issue. Until I pick up a B&N screen protector I find locking the device and a quick wiping of the screen with a microfiber or any soft cloth (my shirt works in a pinch) removes moisture and oil build-up that is causing the uber-sensitive digitizer to register phantom touches.

Ok folks, I registered here because I felt this forum was the best place to get help. Here is my problem. I use a Nook Color 1.1 running the latest autonooter, and I've started having major touchscreen problems. What happens is this: The screen has started registering touches when I am nowhere near the screen, and when I do touch the screen, it only sometimes registers at the right location. This has made it impossible to use at all, and I'd like to know if there's any way of fixing it without having to do anything on the Nook Color. Thanks for your input,

Reboot? Wipe the screen? Reimage?
Sounds like damage to me.

Clean the screen thoroughly then reboot. Does this fix the issue, even if only temporarily? If so, buy a matte screen protector. The NC screen has a tacky coating that seems to collect oil/moisture more than other screens I've used.
If that doesn't work, download a screen calibration app. There's one floating around the forums.

I had the exact same experience when I first tried to install CM7 to run from an SD card. I couldn't sign in to my Google account because just hovering my finger over a key produced a string of letters on the screen (ie: yyyyyyyyyyy)
It was really freaky. I had to sneak up on a key and jab it real fast so that it would type only one letter.
I also had a problem with key registration. I would go to type an "r" and a "t" would be typed. So I had to touch the key at the extreme left edge (or sometimes on an an adjacent key!) to get the letter I wanted to show up.
Fortunately, after I got CM7 up an running properly, the screen problem went away. BTW, I do use a anti-glare screen protector, which, I think, lessens the screen sensitivity a little.
If I were you, I would try restoring my Nook back to stock, and see if the screen is still too sensitive. If it is, it's time for a new Nook. If it's not, try rooting again.
Good Luck.
Try Nook Screen Recalibration on the market. I had the same problem (pressing Q gave me W). It certainly improves it.
use a screen protector or put a thin plastic sheet on your screen and then recalibrate it.
using the method given here.

If you are using a screen protector u can keep using it, however i removed mine after a week or two and didn't really get any weird touches what so ever after that (earlier my touchscreen was unusable).
Thanks for all your suggestions
Thanks for all your suggestions. I think it got worse after I used a recalibration app from the marketplace. For those suggesting I try an app, I can't get the NC to settle down enough to let me tap on things. Yes, I do use a screen protector, so that's not an issue. I will try recalibrating from my computer, and if that doesn't work, is there a good tutorial on how to put it back to stock, and is there a way to re-stockp) it so that if I DO need a new one, I can just return mine? Mine is (if I hadn't rooted it) still under warranty.
TechPlease
Seems like it's fixed.
I think I got it fixed. It calmed down enough for me to run the Nook Screen Calibration app from the Android Marketplace again, and that seems to have cleared the problem up. Mods, please (if you can) mark as SOLVED.
If I connect my nook color to AC adapter, touchscreen will response randomly , so I unplugged usb cable and touchscreen works again
Is anyone else here having issues with screen sensitivity on the Nook Color? I'm running CM7 on SD card (Sandisk 16GB Class 4) and it appears to be running fairly well. My only issue is oftentimes, it senses taps when I'm just scrolling and the bottom left corner of the screen where the options/settings/menu icon is located is particularly difficult to tap. I usually have to try tapping the area 2~4 times before the menu will open. Drag and drop operations are also particularly painful.
Help, please?

Try cleaning your screen, the Nook has a very sensitive screen and can be victim to ghost touches from old finger prints and the like.
i use this app to recalibrate my nook. its super easy to use and its free

I had similar problems with nightly 130's (forget the original one I had). After about 5 minutes of use it would start to randomly spazz out and tap the screen out of no-where. The only fix was to put it to sleep then wake it up again, then it would do it again 5 minutes later.
I upgraded to the latest nightly earlier today and now it is as smooth as butter and I have no problems at all. I used 164 if your interested.

i grabbed this last week and its a lot more accurate in the corners, edges of the screen. i used to touch 5 to 6 times on the "share" button in the browser for google reader mobile. after running the app, i can do it in 1 to 2 times now.
i keep a screen cleaner (eye glass micro fibre rag) in the bag with my nook, i typically have to clean the screen 2-3 times a day b/c "finger prints" starts to distract me too much, not b/c of mistaken touches.
i did have a problem 2 weeks ago where touching was fine, but the keyboard, (both built-in and swype) in both orientations were going crazy, i would hit one letter and it would hit 20+ random characters. i rebooted twice and wiped the screen 2-3 times and it hasnt happened again.
oh, and i have one of these on my screen, since the 3rd day i had my nook

This is probably not it, but a lot of Nook Colors have issues with the touch screen when charging. If mine is plugged in, its pretty much unusable for anything that relies on a working touch screen.

good, im glad this is helping. I think i had read somewhere, don't remember where saying that if you cover or flip over the nook after hitting the calibrate button it can help even more. not sure if this is true or not but give it a try, its what i do when i recalibrate my screen
Hi guys,
So I had to replace my broken screen.
I replaced and everything was working fine until one day, after 1 month, I start getting some ghost touchs in my screen.
There are some spots that triggers the touch at random times and keep pressed.
I've attached a screenshot showing one touch, that of course it is not mine, but keeps pressed for some reason.
If I press that region very hard sometimes the ghost touch disappear which leads to conclude that something is wrong with the screen that I bought, BUT if I reboot the phone it also fixes it, and that is what bothers me the most, I think it is not a physical problem but a software thing.
Can anyone help me break down this problem?
solution?
Do you had any solution for that?
Was it a hardware or software problem?
Best regards,
Spasshawwe
