Cannot use Search Feature on NOOK Android App

I have Phiremod 6.3 and the NOOK Andoid app doesn't allow me to click on the search button on the top of the app. None of the app's top buttons work. Is anyone else having this issue or know a solution. Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still no dice.

You may be suffering from the infamous insensitive Nook screen edges.
Try clicking about 50 times on the search icon. It will eventually work :-(

No it is not the edge thing because every other app the edge sensitivity is perfect. None of the icons on the top work, I am suprised that nobody else has experiencd this.

We have this issue with my wife's NC
The search button "does" work-ish if you can find its spot lol
I feel like the touch zone went from being the whole area of the button, to a single pixel in the dead center of it.
if we keep touching A LOT right around the center, you'll catch it.
Its REALLY annoying
I haven't found any solution yet.

I just click the search button in the status bar and it works exactly the same as the search button at the top of the Nook app would.

That's the strange thing about this. Other apps would put a button in the same place and not have a problem...
Just try hitting it a few times.

I have this exact same problem but even with some of the other buttons in the Nook reading software. It's extremely frustrating and I was hoping there was a fix for it. Those buttons on the top right are nearly impossible to use and the drop box menus are also very faulty. No tips to fix this?

Ive got the problem on the nook touch :/

I saw somewhere that this is an issue with the Nook app. Supposedly B&N knows about this and are working on it.
I have the same problem by the way. Just keep tapping on that stupid little button. It'll work eventually.

Yes, I've read the same thing. Same problem as well. If they offered a Menu that duplicated those functions I'd not care a bit.

Those curst buttons aren't working on my NC, so I won't be using this app until B&N fixes it.

My search button works but the menu button doesn't, go figure. B&N tech support said to use the stock software, not CM7... >:C

[Q] app switching with swipe

Is there a way to switch between apps with just a swipe, instead of pressing the home button and then launching the app each time. I need something similar to Dell Stage, where you swipe to move from one page to another, but it will be from one app to the other.
The reason for my need: I use Evernote for my public speeches, but I also reference the internet and need to access a browser, in my case I am using Opera. I need to switch back and forth between Evernote and Opera during my speech, and using the home button each time is to cumbersome. If I can just swipe the screen to switch back and forth between apps would be ideal.

Wave launcher might help

Thank you for this suggestion, but swipe the screen to access a list of app is the same as pressing the home button.

Ah I see what you mean now. You could configure it to swipe from the side (instead of the bottom) with only evernote and opera in the list then it is just as you describe only instead of swiping the whole way to switch between the two you stop the swipe halfway to switch. You could also limit it to just two apps in the launcher so its easier. Just a thought though.
I think that kind of functionality would have to be built into the OS like it is in webOS and on the playbook.
Here's a video of me trying to do what I think you are trying to do

I have no affiliation with wave launcher by the way. I got it for free from Amazon in May and love it.

Yea, I did gave it a tried, but I ran into trouble with Swipepad. My Streak 7 is in a leather case, and the case cover portion of the screen around the sides, when I placed my finger on the side to swipe, Swipepad does not recognize my finger because the edge of the screen is covered by the case, so I can't swipe.

You know, honeycomb has a task switcher built in that stays visible when you run most, if not all, apps. If you wanted that, either wait for the official release from dell in september out give dj_steve's honeystreak a try. I've been running it on my ds7 for a while now and it gave new life to my tab.

Stock browser tabs won't close until after 3th-7th try? Does this happen to you?

Hi, for the first time ever I am considering using a 3rd party browser. But this is not the topic of this thread. What I am curious about is whether or not you guys have the same stock browser problem as I do.
This bug has never happen to me until the latest OTA update for the D3. When I try to close some browser tabs, it brings to that page instead of closes it. Sometimes I need to press the close button several times (sometimes 5) in order for the close to register properly.
I'm using the Verizon Motorola Droid 3.
Does this happen to you?

Since the day Oeramini and Operamobile were released I haven't opened the android's stock browser a single time.

Like you, the stock browser was having "issues" here and there. I didn't bother looking up any fixes, and just went with Opera Mini.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium

OP:
It's cause the close button is tiny and you keep missing it.
It used to happen to me all the time, then I learned to aim.
You'll get the hang of it

This phone comes with a stock browser? When I logged into google the first thing it auto-downloaded was dolphin HD.

It only did that because your apps r set to back up on googles servers...so when u activate a google account on an android phone it puts all your apps on it. So yes, of course there's a stock browser!

Its because you think you push the button but since it is so small you actually barely missed it.

Nope, I tested on my left pinky finger, my right pinky finger, the tip of my nose, and naturally, my thumb. It is not my carelessness that caused this to happen. So tell me, does anyone experience the same as I have?

Sometime, the problem may be caused by the touch-screen. From dev side, the touch point which is sent to browser is not correct. The 3rd-party browser would be a better choice. Stock browser really lack some feature which other browser did a great job.
You can try Boat Browser. Check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308752

this happens to me as well, even before the update. Seems that it is sometimes a long press that fixes it, annoying as all...

Exactly, long press seems to fix the issue 25% of the time. But 25% is rough guess and is still an annoyingly small amount.
The issue did occur before update, but it didn't occur ever so often.
Please, I just want people to confirm that this is an issue on everyone elses device.

the LAG thread --__--

Hey
just wanted to start a thread about the lag i've experienced on my nexus 7 and wanted to know who else has experienced it. With me its happened randomly a few times like ill exit an app then when i swipe through the home screen its really jerky. my unit isnt rooted, everything stock even the launcher.
So yeah if anyone has experienced it post BELOWWWWWWWW (ray william johnson voice) lol.
Just wanted to add this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258 for people to visit to help raise awareness to Google about the issue.

Have you gotten the latest update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1

Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...

You'll find that the best way to make your case is to take a video of it, so we don't have to rely on your word alone.

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.

No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.

I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better

It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.

Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?

Kitkit; always kidding around!

So, uhm, never seen this before.
No, I had not told it to do a barrel roll, and yes Chrome displayed normally in the full window.

You must have hit the home button right as it was doing an animation (like swiping away a tab), thus it used that "screenshot" as the thumbnail

I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't, and this was after unlocking the phone - so i'd have had to have swiped and jumped (fast!) to something else and then.... It's a longshot, but probably the only explanation that makes sense. Still, I think I'd prefer to believe that kitkat plays games when I'm not looking.

Weird that I've never managed to do/notice this up till now. Just slightly saddened to realize that there aren't actual playful sprites inside my phone.

This is nothing new. I've seen this going all the way back to ICS/CM9 on my Nexus One.
