does your keyboard double enter? - Nook Color General

Does the keyboard on your color nook double enter characters?
I just spent 10 minutes trying to enter my email address and password to register my device. The same thing happened when I tried to search.
I am about ready to throw the unit in the trash. Are others having similar issues?

Nope. Didn't with the Droid X, Gingerbread, or my normal keyboard, SwiftKeys.

I had this issue. Restart your NC or reset it. This resolved the issue for me both times.

I have double characters when the charger is plugged in.

Same here. Just unplug the charger and all will be fine.

I exchanged mine for that reason. The Nook rep. said that it was normal. I protested, but he stood his ground. I then put on a B&N anti glare protector & the screen became unresponsive in the same area that the kbd. was dysfunctional. The Nook rep. exchanged it then. These issues are related in some way. Wacky kbd when charging & reduced touch sensitivity with the protector on. I have heard that the wacky kbd when charging can be traced to a faulty AC adapter, but the other problem was not related to that. I suspect that the touch screen sensitivity is the common factor.
Cheers,

Wow that is a new one, but you guys are right. I pulled it off the charger and the double characters went away.
Thanks!

I have the same problem when using fleaBay purchased non OEM charger with my HTC Desire.
The original HTC charger doesn't do this.
There is many reports like this with touch screen devices.

Mine does double characters when I press the backspace or it will enter the "L" key instead of backspace. It also won't backspace and ill have to press it a few times which then causes the "L" key problem. Using gingerbread kb seems to be only the backspace key ill try un plugging the charger and checking haven't done that yet.

Its a bit sensitive but the screen protector seems to have helped.

I had a keyboard run away this morning. I was typing a long email and the t key hung. I had to shut down the nook. I was using the gingerbread keyboard at the time. Any other keyboard related issues while using the gingerbread keyboard only? I was unplugged at the time.

I had this the first time I used it but it went away after a reset. The touchscreen is funny when the unit is plugged in though. In fact I have to unplug it to unlock it. . Also the corners are particularly unresponsive. Other than this I really like my NC (mostly bc of the devs on here) .

Anyone fixed a broken keyboard?

My tilt was in my pocket the other day and I was in a cab with 4 of my friends. Well, one of them was kinda smashing my phone and ended up breaking the screen. I replaced the screen last night, but now the keyboard only had about 10 buttons that work. I've unplugged it from the motherboard a couple times trying to see if that fixed it, but no worky. Any ideas?

Fix or replace?

FIx. I replaced the screen, but now the keyboard only has about 7 functioning buttons.
check the keyboard connector is in tight. This is often left loose or not completely inserted when changing the screen.
If that is tight more than likely the keyboard connector cable is hosed.
its in as tight as can be. Is there a place to get replacement keyboard? I can't find one.

[Q] Need Advice: Possible Defective NC

So I got my wife a NC for christmas and the thing's been great. Wasplaying a bit of sudoku on it the other night while plugged in to the USB The touchscreen started gettign a bit wonky. It wouldn't respond to input and then would just randomly daisy-chain a bunch of erroneous commands together.
Now, if she's trying to read a book, when she taps to go to the next or proevious page it keeps bringing up the bottom menu (like she center tapped) or takes a few taps to finally change pages.
Something I can fix with a reset or should I just exchange it?

I had a similar issue when plugged in with the nook charger. I was using the keyboard and it became possessed. Any softkey I pressed resulted in something opening that wasn't supposed to. All I had to do was unplug the NC and everything returned to normal. It only happened once and I haven't had any problems since. You can try recalibrating your screen. If nothing works and it was my NC, I'd exchange it. Good luck!

How can I recalibrate without rooting? The wife won't let me root.

[Q] TouchScreen problem

Hello,
I am new to Nexus one coming from Iphone 3G. the phone is quite good but i experience a little problem.
When the phone is plugged in and is charging, the touch screen becomes very inaccurate. Typing on keyboard is impossible...etc, the only solution is to use the trackball. Everything is gone after unplugging it from the power cord.
Do you have any advice for solving this ?
Best Regards,
I've heard that if you press the power button to put the phone asleep and then press it again to wake the phone would reset the touchscreen

Is the phone getting hot while you are charging it?
I found that when it gets really hot that it can mess up the touchscreen a little.
Common problem, no fix for it. Just black out the screen, and the problem resets itself and goes away. Takes 1 second. It's a hardware issue.
i have same problem too....
sorry... wrong post
Thank you for your answer, i understand that plugged or hot can mess the touch screen. It's not "fixable", i will live with it.
I sent mine back 3 times and it is finally fixed. I have a perfect touch screen. Have not had san issue in over 2 weeks. Send back and leave note with your phone. As I said I would not except no for an answer.

ME572CL touch screen problem

Hi,
I have recently bought my tablet, in last two days my tablets acts a bit crazy, sometimes I touch a point but another point reactions
for example when i`m typing and press a word it types another word or opens notifications or even gets out of application.
How can I solve my problem?
thanks
Touch does occasionally seem to be off a bit for me as well. I keep wondering if the problem is my tempered glass screen protector and me being used to a device that has an extremely sensitive touch screen.
This can sometimes happen when using the tablet while plugged into the charger. Especially if not using the factory provided USB charging cable.

After removing the screen protector my inaccuracy issue went away. So my issue was probably different than the original poster...

it seems that it is relevant with electricity since this problem happens only when I hold it in my hand

touch screen sensitivity?

Anyone having touchscreen sensitivity issues? I'm having ghost swipes galore while trying to scroll up and down a page like Google now or Facebook. Try swiping left and right on the home screen. On mine it just started to not respond anymore after a couple of times. Even if I go to the multitasking page, I'll try and swept away each open app and it'll just start to not register. This is while not plugged in btw. I really love the phone otherwise and want to keep it but I'll have to return it if this is a common problem. Is this an issue with the phone or just me? If it is just mine then I'll just exchange it and hope I get a better one.
Actually it is much more prevalent while charging. I also forgot my Moto mod battery pack charges constantly and my cause grounding issues also. Let me know if it's just my phone y'all!
I had these issues initially, especially with the bottom of the screen and the back button, but after a couple reboots they're totally gone. Try a hard restart (hold the power button until it restarts). I use a turbopower mod so i don't think its that.
My charging cord doesn't work.I just bought 3 days ago and it will not turbo charge

after reboot initially it's better but then it returns after a few minutes. is it the same for you? does it return? anyone else having this problem because I'm trying to determine whether I should take this back or not and get it exchanged.
Problem was an isolated incident and I'm happy to announce that I exchanged the faulty phone for another and this one shares none of the problems said above. So in short, if you're having screen sensitivity problems, send/take your phone back for a new one.
It's flawless now! I freakin love this phone!
