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.

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.

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?

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 am running stock 2.1.1 non rooted on my HD+ and for some reason today my settings app started crashing whenever I click on settings/device info/battery. I use this a lot to see what has been using my battery and how long my battery lasts and it has never crashed before today. I have tried restart in my HD+ multiple times and I have even tried force stopping the settings app. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions of what to do?

By third party do you mean side loaded or through Google play? Last night I downloaded soundcloud. Should I try uninstalling that to see if it fixes the problem?

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!

My wife just told me that her Nook HD+ is uninstalling apps on it's own. Have any of you heard of this happening before on Nook HD+? It stays on her Android phone but is removed from the tablet.
I haven't seen this happen but just asking because the wife is pissed at me for this happening on something I modded for her. LOL

So you are not really having to re-install the apps, just put the icons back on the home screen?
Why don't you try a third party launcher and see if the disappearing icons quit disappearing.

Various apps. Wife hasn't been able to remember the names but the types were flashcards app (like the 3x5 cards we used in school), scientific calculator, biology and a game.

I was just wondering if they were apps she got at the Amazon app store. Sometimes those get flacky if they can't verify that the app store is installed and running.

You could try scanning the ALL tab under My Apps on the Play Store - that shows all the apps you've ever installed on any device registered against your Google account. That might jog her memory. If they're not listed there then maybe, as leapinlar suggested, they came from the Amazon app store and have fallen prey to the flakiness he's observed.
(Backup tools like Titanium Backup can be set to do regular app backups which could provide a useful recovery point in cases like this. Not so useful if the user can't remember what the apps were called, though...)

Maybe she downloaded apps from play store, then removed hers Google account, so all apps associated got Uninstalled.
If its using cm11 there was a bug where app icons would disappear from the launcher after app updates.
Apps uninstalling themselves though... Besides user error or bad judgement I can think of many possible scenarios where apps could be removed/disappear.
I wonder too if google's new app checker service improvement could remove them if it didn't like them. Perhaps even being triggered during an automatic update.
[Ah yes, there is what I was looking for: "Google Play scans apps that are uploaded for malware. If an app is later discovered to be malicious, Google can automatically remove it from the devices it’s been installed on." -> http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cracked-android-apps-and-games-read-this-before-downloading/
And that is only one way it can happen.]
