My nook hd smoke grey version is having touch screen issue. I was using cm12.1 5-30 build by amaces. The part near to right bezel doesn't respond to touch. That prevents me from pressing 3 dot menu and letter "p" in keyboard. Rest of the portion is fine.
I thought it was the problem with the rom and kernel and immediately flashed the stock nook hd firmware. The problem is still not fixed.
Is there any solution to calibrate the touchscreen ? I'd be thankful for any useful help.

I'm using CM 4.0.2 wiith htc _ime keyboard. I'm having 3 issues with the physical keyboard. BTW no issues until I started using CM roms, so odds are tiny that it is a hardware issue.
1: My right side alt and shift keys do not function. When pressed they create the little carrot marker under the cursor, but they do not cause the desired effect, the regular letter is displayed as if the alt/shift button was not pressed. Left side works fine.
2: This is somewhat sporadic, but when I double press the space bar I do not always get a . At the end of the sentance, sometimes there is a space before it. i.e. Hi . I am fine .
3: I still get the autocorrect for the physical keyboard sometimes. I thought Cyanogen fixed that, am I mistaken?
It's most likely a hardware issue, it was probably just a coincidence when you flashed.
If you think its Firmware related, try reflashing to see if it cures the issue.

I, too, have also noticed all of these things occurring in 4.0.2 using the htc_ime keyboard, i think for the last one he reverted the fix back because the vk kept popping up even when using the pk.
Ok folks, I registered here because I felt this forum was the best place to get help. Here is my problem. I use a Nook Color 1.1 running the latest autonooter, and I've started having major touchscreen problems. What happens is this: The screen has started registering touches when I am nowhere near the screen, and when I do touch the screen, it only sometimes registers at the right location. This has made it impossible to use at all, and I'd like to know if there's any way of fixing it without having to do anything on the Nook Color. Thanks for your input,

Reboot? Wipe the screen? Reimage?
Sounds like damage to me.

Clean the screen thoroughly then reboot. Does this fix the issue, even if only temporarily? If so, buy a matte screen protector. The NC screen has a tacky coating that seems to collect oil/moisture more than other screens I've used.
If that doesn't work, download a screen calibration app. There's one floating around the forums.

I had the exact same experience when I first tried to install CM7 to run from an SD card. I couldn't sign in to my Google account because just hovering my finger over a key produced a string of letters on the screen (ie: yyyyyyyyyyy)
It was really freaky. I had to sneak up on a key and jab it real fast so that it would type only one letter.
I also had a problem with key registration. I would go to type an "r" and a "t" would be typed. So I had to touch the key at the extreme left edge (or sometimes on an an adjacent key!) to get the letter I wanted to show up.
Fortunately, after I got CM7 up an running properly, the screen problem went away. BTW, I do use a anti-glare screen protector, which, I think, lessens the screen sensitivity a little.
If I were you, I would try restoring my Nook back to stock, and see if the screen is still too sensitive. If it is, it's time for a new Nook. If it's not, try rooting again.
Good Luck.
Try Nook Screen Recalibration on the market. I had the same problem (pressing Q gave me W). It certainly improves it.
use a screen protector or put a thin plastic sheet on your screen and then recalibrate it.
using the method given here.
http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen
If you are using a screen protector u can keep using it, however i removed mine after a week or two and didn't really get any weird touches what so ever after that (earlier my touchscreen was unusable).
Thanks for all your suggestions
Thanks for all your suggestions. I think it got worse after I used a recalibration app from the marketplace. For those suggesting I try an app, I can't get the NC to settle down enough to let me tap on things. Yes, I do use a screen protector, so that's not an issue. I will try recalibrating from my computer, and if that doesn't work, is there a good tutorial on how to put it back to stock, and is there a way to re-stockp) it so that if I DO need a new one, I can just return mine? Mine is (if I hadn't rooted it) still under warranty.
TechPlease
Seems like it's fixed.
I think I got it fixed. It calmed down enough for me to run the Nook Screen Calibration app from the Android Marketplace again, and that seems to have cleared the problem up. Mods, please (if you can) mark as SOLVED.
If I connect my nook color to AC adapter, touchscreen will response randomly , so I unplugged usb cable and touchscreen works again

Hi,
This is what I am encountering with my Nook Color currently. (Arm7 revision 2 cpu)
I'm not sure if any of you guys experiencing some issues with the Wifi connection. I encounter that my Wifi network keeps dropping and disconnecting.
I have the touch screen issues, so I loaded up the Developer options show touches. I experimenting the touch screen.
I flip my nook color (where the n button is resided at the right hand corner, facing the east), the touch screen cannot seems to move and response to either of the back, home and taskbar buttons. (bottom edges)
I flip my nook color over again, (where the n button is resided at the left hand side, facing the west), the touch screen cannot seems to move and reponse the back button. (bottom edges)
Now, I flip the nook facing me. (where the n button is the south position), I loaded up some apps to type in something with the keyboard. There are some issues that I noticing, I cannot press the Backspace button, the P button, the . button, the - button,
the q button.
Once I connected to the internet, I encounter these problems. My entire touch screen tends to freeze up. The touch screen is not responsive. I cannot even power down the nook.
The touch screen keyboard too wasn't responsive at the right and left side of the edge.
I do also encounter phantom touches on my nook color touch screen. Downloading the Nook Color Calibration didn't help solving this issues.
I come across some weird errors such as "Unfortunately, cmupdater has stopped", "Unfortunately, google search has stopped". etc etc..

I have been having problems lately with my HP touchpad on CM9. They are as follow: the touchscreen goes crazy and does all sorts of random typing and button pressing. At one point I could not use it so I webOS doctored it up and then flashed CM10. So far it fixed the issue but now my corner "back" button only works when you press it on the side closest to the middle. Some other buttons are like this or do not work completely in apps. I don't think it could be a hardware issue as I have always been careful with all of my devices. Thanks in advance!
Can you completely rule out hardware issues by testing your screen using a drawing app?

I will try that now.
Update: Ok please try to work with this: In landscape look at the arrow, the width of the arrow, that entire section is not working from bottom to top. You have to almost tap on the very right edge of the back arrow. I still do not think it is hardware.
Bump, please help
I'm on CM w/android 4.2.2 and have similar screen issues... screen sometimes goes a static non-moving "fuzzy" blue... not sire if ther is any pattern to it or not, but reboot fixes it for a while.
lately I've noticed that ill get artafacts... fpr example todays google doodle viewed using stock android browser app will often produce black a d white horizontal artafacts. perhaps driver issues?
Sent from my TouchPad using xda app-developers app

You don't say what Rom you are using but it certainly works on Jcsullins latest.
Evervolv but now i am thinking its an lcd digitzer screen problem cause nothing in that area works regardless of the rom. I never dropped the device so i am not sure why just a section of the lcd screen would stop responding..
Hello guys,
I am having this more than an year old Nook HD+ .It is rooted but on stock rom. From past 2-3 weeks i am experiencing problems with it.The pages are turning on its own in Epub and automatically randomly the applications open without even touching the screen.An i observed on left side near the corner of the screen the touch isn't working.My password has the letter P in it and that side the touch isn't working.Sometimes during random moments it works.
Really annoying. I disregistred the device and registered again....Same problem persists.
Any solutions ??
Thanks.
Do you use any screen protector on it? Did you try cleaning the screen?
It looks like a defective digitizer.
