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, 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!

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.

From his twitter he says camera is launching but causing a gfx error (camera is working but wont display on screen, his error logs showing it init no problems). It could be as simple as a coding error, I notice in his error logs that the first error pops on line 441
Code:
01-28 12:02:26.560: E/IMGSRV(216): gralloc.c:590: gralloc_device_alloc: Invalid color format (256)
I'm not sure what the color format he's using is but it could just need to be changed to 255 even, perhaps 256 is out of range(if it's like r/g/b 1-255). IDK, easy to speculate but it looks like it might be sooner rather than later. Best place to check for this info is Hashcodes Twitter. That's where I saw the update about the camera and the error logs, it's a lot easier for him to tweet a quick update and keep working than to stop and scrub/edit posts.
Yeah!!! He just tweeted again that he is really close.
SENT FROM MY CM9/ICS D3....thx 2 hashcode
It sounds like it might be here within the next couple of days. At least that's the impression that I'm getting from Hash's twitter feed. Very exciting times!!!

I actually find the screen and rom in general very responsive. I really haven't run into any issues with it yet (other than having to reboot every now and then or cycle airplane mode because I'm getting a "can't authenticate on proxy" error when browsing but I'm pretty sure when this happens it's just poor reception). I also tend not to fling around in menus very much, would be interesting to see a diff of what's been crammed into dalvik between you and I maybe, think Hashcode mentioned that can cause slowdowns though (if you're doing a lot things might get unresponsive for a sec is what I take from that, like IPC on windows jamming everything up and causing jitter by bottlenecking sometimes).

Strange, I find the keys/buttons as responsive, if not more so than stock. Did you add supercharger script, init.d hacks or anything?
Just for the heck of it I googled "ics trouble with flash player" and wow a lot of people are having trouble w/ics 4.0.3 and flash, found a few files people have said were working, I'll try them out and post them to Hash' OP/send them to Hash for his next build if they're flawless. Gotta charge and run out before I start messing with that.
Hi all. I'm normally not a big fan of starting threads, but because I'm sitting at work right now just wanting to play with my new phone, I might as well start a discussion.
So one of the coolest things about this phone for me so far are all the hand gestures. I know some of them are a little gimmicky, but there are also a couple of useful ones.
My favorites so far:
- Wake up your phone to show Time, missed calls or messages and battery by reaching towards your phone when asleep. Hint: If waving your hand towards the center doesn't initially wake it up, try bringing your open hand towards your sensor, then taking it away and then bringing your hand towards the sensor again. This feature will really come in handy in the middle of the night when I want to know what time it is.
- Take a screenshot by moving the side/palm of your hand across the screen. It's so much easier than trying to time the Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
What are your favorite gestures?
I thought we could use this thread for those who may need help figuring out these features as well. :good:
For some reason I cannot get my phone to switch tracks when I wave my hand. Do I have to be using the stock player for this to occur?

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm guessing that yes, it must be the stock player.
most of the hand gestures have been working on the note 2 for months now, so im not in awe of any...although the page scrolling sure seems like it might come in handy from time to time...

Lay your phone on a flat surface and with a flat hand reach towards the phone and then pull it back. Your blue notification light should quickly go on and then the screen will light up with the information.
I'm at work and can't access YouTube, but I think there's a video on it too. If you're still having trouble, I can try to link a video when I get home.

One of the more useful gestures, IMO, is the moving an app/widget to a different screen. To achieve it, hold an icon with your left thumb, wave your right hand over the sensors from the left to right or vice versa to change the screen.
these actually really come in handy for me when my hands are dirty. i do a lot of work on my cars and im not really a fan of getting grease all over the screen and these save me a lot of hassle. i never even thought i would use them at first.

Does it have gestures for rejecting a call like flipping off? Can you have and appropriate gesture assigned to go to a browser bookmark or URL or play a video? Sorry, saw the topic title and I couldn't resist. Lol

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.
