Hello everyone,
I recently got a replacement Nook HD+ as the original one had battery issues.
But whenever I use it, I notice some weird behavior. For eg: When I tried to use it for the first time to register it, it prompted me to choose a wireless network and when I'm about to enter the wifi password, that pop up goes away. Plus, it does some random work of its own like pulling down the top menu and canceling it out.
I tried doing a factory reset but it didn't take me anywhere. I'd greatly appreciate any help on this. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense here. I could upload a video if that would help.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Try resetting it by interrupting the boot 8 times in a row. That should make a clean install.

By any chance do you have a screen protector on your Nook? If that's not the case, then is your screen perfectly clean?
The problems you are mentioning often occurs whilst a screen protector is placed on the screen. If you do have a screen protector on, you may have to remove it to get the full functionality. You may also want to clean your screen if you don't have a protector on.
After doing the above, I'm pretty sure you problem should cease to exist. All the best.

Thanks for your response, leapinlar. I did as you advised and it seems to be installed again. But I still have the same issue. (After choosing the wifi, it won't let me enter the password, the popup would just go off!)
Turning the device off is a nightmare as well.. After I long press the power button, the popup for shutdown would go off before I could hit "OK". Have to try a few times to accomplish this trivial task.

Sounds like you have a screen problem. Cleaning did not help? May need a warranty exchange.

It might be a dumb suggestion, but make sure you aren't touching the screen while holding the tablet. When I got this tablet (my first) I was frequently holding it wrongly, like my palm was touching the screen while I was holding it. It usually zoomed in web browser/maps by itself but was my fault. After buying a case my problems were gone.

Dang! Not sure how B&N would feel about replacing a replacement. Intend to try it at a local store this time instead of online. Any advice on this, leapinlar?

Just make sure it is registered and has no mods.

Might be the Android Keyboard ASOP not loading

I had the same problem but it turned out to be a problem with the stock Android keyboard ASOP not loading. (Unfortunately, Android keyboard (ASOP) has stopped) is the error message I get. That's why he can't input anything. If he goes into the Settings/Languages & Input under Keyboard & Input Methods the Android keyboard (ASOP) checkmark is greyed out and you can't select it.
I'm a newbie, less than a week into rooting my Nook HD+. Was having success until last night. Still trying to solve this problem myself. I had everything fine on my Nook HD+ using Nightly Builds, but decided I wanted to switch to the stable 10.2 Cyanomod to see if things ran smoother - and that's when I started having the problem (as of last night).
It is because CM10.2 requires different gapps. Try 20130813.

That's the one I've used from the start. Worked fine under CM10.2 nightly builds from 10-21 onward that I installed. Then went back to the stable version of CM10.2 and had the problem with the Android Keyboard not loading.
About to wipe everything and start over from scratch with CM10.2 Nightly Builds. Unless anyone has a simpler cure.

There is not a stable CM10.2. You must mean stable CM10.1.3. That uses 20130812.

Actually, I figured that out when I went to DL the latest nightly. (I'm a bit dyslexic so if I don't stop and read very carefully I make mistakes like that).

I think is a known issue, but is there a fix to allow the top right of the screen to work. Its really diffult to use the nook app with this issue.

It's a known issue with the Nook app update itself. B&N said they were looking into fixing it sometime (tm). If you're having issues with other apps or just the screen in general and corner sensitivity, download Nook Recalibrate from Market and run it. Don't touch the screen (make sure it's clean prior to doing so) and let it run --- it'll just sit there for a minute or two then reboot.
Thanks, yeah i guess ur right it is just the app.
I should probably recalibratw anyway since I installed a screen protector.

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
Hi there,
I am occassionally having an issue of the Nook getting stuck on the lockscreen when coming out of sleep mode.
Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can correct it?

It is most likely your case. Some have magnets in them to put it to sleep when the case is closed. The solution is to open the case twice before trying the lock screen.

Are you using a case with a magnet in it to put it to sleep and wake it? If so, try removing the case and see what happens.

Was it doing it on stock? Since you say it does it on CM10.2 too, it makes me think a hardware issue.

I reverted back to stock and it started to happen. i then erased and deregistered within the nook UI and started fresh. it does not happen before i login with my gmail. at the choose language screen, i can sleep and wake with no issues. once i log in with my google login it starts to happen.
does this mean my user partition is crap? is there a way to reformat or partition everything?
thanks!

Thanks, BN is replacing my nook HD+.
I have been running CM11 M11 for a long time with good performance on my HD+. I haven't used it much lately, although I think my daughter has been playing with it. I tried using it and it has gotten extremely slow. I tried updating it to M12 and it was still slow. Next I tried doing a full backup and then a factory reset/wipe, plus formatted the dalvik and /system partitions and then restored. Next I tried wiping again and just doing a fresh install of M12 (which I just did on a HD and it is running great). The plus is still very slow. I have thought about downgrading CWM and reflashing a version of CM10 but thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions why a fresh install is going so slow. Could my hardware just be dying or is there a step in doing a fresh install that I'm missing?
You are probably experiencing lag. Search the forum to learn about that. CM11 is supposed to fix that automatically but it may need a manual trim.

I thought the reformatting was supposed to fix the lag issues associated with needing trim. I read up on it a long time ago and it seemed like I had a decent chance of bricking it with the drive in mine if I did a Trim. I thought I also saw that Google did something that supposedly fixed the Trim bricking issue but haven't been following all of that since mine was working well enough. Do you know if the bricking issues associated with Trim are fixed in CM11?

No, I don't. In fact that is one reason I do not run CM11.
When you formatted, did you use the advanced menu to format 'data and datamedia'? The normal format of /data or a factory reset just erases, not formats.

No, the only extra one I formatted from the advanced menu was /system. I will give that a try tonight. Thanks!
Formating the data and data media seems to have done the trick! I installed M12 and seems to be going smooth so far. Thanks again for the help. ☺
