[Q] Screen issues? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else experienced issues with the screen jerking around with only one finger pressed down? When I have mine in portrait, the right side of the screen is almost acting hypersensitive. If I'm in the browser for example, and I put my finger anywhere on the right side, the address bar will start flipping out and the page will jitter up and down by a few pixels continuously. This does not happen using any part of the left side of the screen. I went back to the store and tested the display models, and while not as severe, I still saw the effect.

The touchscreen is notoriously sensitive, some have found keeping it clean of fingerprints is important.

mine are too, s/t i touch on the left bottom side of the screen and it display the right and left bottom side continuously. I have to reboot my nook.
I use the rooted stock room 2.0.4 at test mode.

PS, a high quality screen protector might also help to reduce sensitivity.

Thanks for the tip. Any protectors you would recommend?

Some tips here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029905

i noticed something yesterday. hoping someone can explain it to me.
along the bottom edge of the screen, there are 4 white spots, 3 in bottom right and 1 in bottom left.
At first i thought it was a problem with the screen, but then i noticed that when i rotate the device, then the dots/spots rotate aswell and find their new home along the new bottom edge of the screen.
These dots are only visible when the screen is showing a black colour, and the appear under the bottom navigation bar, so only when that fades away, under certain applications where it does fade away, then the white spots can be seen in the left over black area.
If i really have to I will try to take a picture, but i really cant be bothered, so if anyone knows what im talking about can u tell me what they are..??
if no one knows what im talking about then I will take pictures later and update this post...
untill then i will draw an asci diagram of the location of the spots, because i have nothing better to do

That took too much time, cant be asked drawing landdscape version, use your imagination...
what are those dots?

when you touch these dots, the usual buttons (back, home, tasks) become accessible again. Android fades them out in order not to distract from the content (say, a video) and leaves these dots as a hint where to find them.

oh, ok. yeah, you're right.

If you were talking about CM10, then that is right, that is called 'lights out mode' and gets implemented on certain apps to not distract like the user said. I thought you were talking about stock.

It looks the same in stock too. They didn't bother to change image of the black bar.

Screen problem

Just received the ATT Tilt, but I am having some issues with the top of the screen showing a thin rainbow bar. Looking at it closely, it appears that the today theme does not fully cover the top area of the screen and this is where the rainbow bar sips through; this happens in all the other windows as well (apps, settings) and even when I rotate the screen, the rainbow bar moves position to coincide with the screen orientation. I tried switching to different Today themes to see if this rainbow dissapears, but no luck. It's strange that this effect does not happen on the splash screen (everything is one color), but immediately appears once the windows mobile 6 menu loads. Below is an image of a today screen with the similar problem.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove this darn bar....it's driving me crazy!I am hoping that this is not a screen defect and can be adjusted by some settings change.
Thanks!
haha thats a battery meter. Probably from one of the applications you installed.
rofl......i think thats the vistahide battery gauge. if it is, then all you have to do is delete the vistahide link from the windows\startup folder and then softreset
I removed the vistahide battery gauge from the start up applications and now I have a beautiful black screen! YAY!
Thanks guys for the heads-up on this...I really appreciate it.
rofl =)))
Funny, but yeah, your question is perfectly fine.. just funny how something can be loved by some and hated by others.
Hi, i removed it from start up but it still doesn't work. can someone help me out?
thanks
Have you restarted after removing the shortcut?
Batti can also do the same kind of color bar, maybe that's the one you have.
I soft reset it
should i reset with the pin?
where would i find batti?
thanks

Trying to find HTC HD ROM that spins screens vertical & horizontal

HI all. I am trying to find a rom with the following features.
I was shown a ROM that was running on 6.1 but was told there was a 6.5 version.
The software allowed screens to roll up & down, left & right with the flick of the finger across the screen. When flicking through screens they would shrink in size and appear like a hexagon and rotate until you select a screen.
Please help if you can

Sounds to me that you are looking for the spb mobile shell.

Thank you. It certainly looks like the shell.
Would you know of any other options that would be available without the price tag.

Possibly interesting. I like the idea of collecting items that allow you to shoot and stuff.
I think the controls are a bit wierd. Sometimes it seems to move in the wrong direction. Also, since nav is handled only over the d-pad, it's very hard to play when the ship enters the lower left corner of the screen. Perhaps, being able to nav from touching anywhere on the screen?
Oh, Instructions gives a blank screen titled Instruction, but with no actual instructions on it.

[Q] Strange Question Regarding Glitch in Notification Bar

I just had a question about my notification bar having these weird artifacts on it. I doubt it's the display since it shows on the picture I posted. Any ideas or suggestions as to what it might be?

That slightly lighter area with AT&T on it and the line under it? That's the bottom of the "window shade" - the notification pulldown. You can push the notification pulldown back up from there.

They just mark the space between them where there might be more information sometimes. It is normal.

Explain this please, because they're two crooked barely visible lines. I don't see how this could be normal or even what it means. And although your response seemed educated I have no idea what your talking about so that doesn't really help.
There's nothing really visible in your picture, even when I fully exppand it. The arrow seems to be pointing to the top line. So I put on my reading glasses and my 20X magnifier (the one I use for working on microcircuits) and looked at my screen. Nothing there but the top line, an area slightly less dark than the area above the line and the bottom line. If your eyes are really that much better than mine, I can borrow a good microscope from the university and look at a pixel level, but I think what you're seeing is an artifact or dirt.

Just to make sure we are on the same page here. To me it looks like your crude arrow is pointing to the thin grey line that runs across the lower part of the screen above the bolder line. There is also one at the top that is very thin like maybe 2 or three pixels at most. These are the the top and bottom boarders for the information area of the pull down. If you get a text or an app wants to upgrade you can slide the bar down and the information about the text or the app and other information will appear between the two very tiny thin lines.
At all other times there is just a big dark void area between these lines.
Now if your image is showing something else then only you can see it because as stated by another poster we see nothing out of the ordinary for any Android phone running this version of Android in that screen image.

You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd. I meant to circle it as well but I guess I missed that but I understand this device. I'm quite tech friendly myself so I understand how the notification bar design is. I'm not referring to the gray line that turns blue when you touch it and I'm not talking about any of the bar dividers. Nor the message and download center. I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar. Once someone sees it the hopefully we can determine what it's culprit is.

I even pisted a screenie while moving it up and it travels with it as if its part of the notification bar. But i also know a glitch when i see obe.

20X head mag + 10X mag swingup. Dark room. Full brightness. Nothing.
If could be an artifact on your LCD.
I could not see anything on my phone but when I looked at it on my pc I could see what I think he is talking about. There are actually three lines that I see running on a slant, one of the lines runs through the "AT&T" on the bottom of the screen.
I think I see it too. Its so faint I had to zoom in just to see the pixel differences. Id reccomend a facotry reset, and if the issues persistent, perhaps a ROM install, and if not, a warranty exchange.

I wish I could believe that, but why does the artifact travel with the notification bar as I pull it back up and away? And that spot/issue doesn't appear anywhere else on the screen and also it doesn't appear on the same spot screen wise as to where it ends up on the notification bar. This can't possibly make any sense to an lcd. Lol. Any suggestions? And I apologize that you can't see it. It's just a photo you should see it. It shows up on any device viewing the image.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you were able to. What I don't understand is I've never in my years of experience with these devices I've never ever seen an image issue like that that actually moves with the bar as if it's a part of it. I've tried resets to no avail. And if it was hardware you'd see it one everything of that color in that same spot but it doesn't have a designated spit other than the Corner of that notification bar. Strange and I'm at a loss of words. And Romming isn't an option, this device has too many security features to warrant a trial and error theory just to see.

Screen smudge

I've noticed a smudge at the bottom of the screen just above the 'home' button. It's like when you press on a calculator screen and the lcd bleeds everywhere. Most noticeable when pressing down near the bottom on a white screen like the blank open page of chrome browser. It is however always there even on dark screens?? Any ideas? Anybody had this before? Thanks

same thing here, think they just didn't give the screen much support in the center do it's bending slightly?
I guess I'll just get on with it. I really don't want to return it just to get the same thing again.
