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

Cool Jelly Bean trick!!!

I was just playing around with my Nexus 7 and I came across a neat and convenient trick to dispose of a app from the app drawer that you may have mistakenly selected and you only get three options uninstall, app info or simply drop the app on the home screen of your Nexus device. Well, there's a fourth option! Simply long press a app from your home screen or app drawer. Then, fling your finger that's holding down the app down up and release! That's it! From the home screen you don't have to take a app all of the way up to the white x remove then red release delete. From the bottom or where ever that app is on your screen you want to remove or replace, just press and hold the app you want to remove, fling your finger in motion down then up release and watch it fly away off of your screen! I think this only works with Jelly Bean, but this my friend is very convenient!

I can add another cool trick: slide up from the bottom of the screen where the 3 buttons are to bring up the Google search. Neat.

Another cool trick in Jelly Bean. Settings > About Tablet/Phone > Android Version (tap repeatedly for surprise)

It shows a lockscreen-style circle for that. Kinda unnecessary, but cool. A quick swipe up from the home button works just as well.

There's an easter egg in the settings app. Go into "about tablet". Tap the version number many times. After that, press and hold the Jelly Bean.

That is actually launching Google Now. If you do not have search history turned on for your google account, you will only see a google search.
If you have history, it will show more information cards.

I'm not quite sure if you're serious or you're really just now discovering the features marketed in the presentations.

Not everyone watched the presentations. No reason to be unnecessarily mean. I thanked him since I didn't know about the trick at all and these types of threads are awesome.

couldnt do it for the life of me and figured it must be a N7 thing only at the moment. But then I re-read the directions on how to do it... derp:silly:

Thanks guys for your help hints!

I watched the presentation but only recently realised the two finger trick for expanding or reducing notification sizes!

If you long press either the back button or the multi-window button (I forget the technical name of it) and swipe up it will bring up google now as if you were holding down the home button.

Love the assumption everyone on here is male.... Lol you might need to be a bit more specific. Do you mean you want to reopen a closed tab from a previous time you've had Firefox open? It should be in history.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Usually at the bottom of its launch page is the button for synched tabs not sure about lost tabs tho.
I have a question too! My menu button on Firefox on my N7 is non existent! Where'd it go? Its where it should be on my phone. Very annoying.

Exactly i would try reopen a closed tab...:crying:

In the Firefox Beta, the 'menu' or 'options' is the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner.

That's just the thing, I'm not on the beta app on both my devices =/

The 'menu' is the same on both versions. Three vertical dots in the upper right.

Recent apps

Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.

Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level

Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them

Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

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.

Happens if you press the recents button while rotating the phone.

Okay, that is something I may well have done, thanks!
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.
