Every now and then it will just start opening files by itself, you can't get it to stop. Wondering if the nook screen protector i'm using could be causing it...it seems to start when i'm in the stock browser. Not rooted but am using a sideloaded launcher.
my HD+ is possessed

k thanks, thought it might be doing it...$20 down the toilet.
I find with my screen protector that I have to wipe the oily prints off. They don't show but they make the device go wonky after a while.

Aside from the screen protector, I also notice that the touchscreen itself is very finicky. I means say if something that need to hit and hold like an icon to get menu popup. It's extremely hard to get the popup, even if you hold it pretty steady. I have nova launcher on both my Nook HD+ and Galaxy Note II, of course we can't compare build material here. Note II is just on another level in term of hardware wise. But the touch is just way more solid on the Note II.
I noticed it too. I think it is something in stock. My CM10 is much better.

If you decide to remove the screen protector, and it no longer behave like it was processed. Would you go into the Accessories forum and post there, please tell us the brand/where you brought also. So other people don't make that $20 mistake.
Indeed, yes, I noticed it too. I figured it was just the way I was holding/clicking it, but I suppose not. It must be either a problem with the hardware, or as leapinlar stated, probably the stock ROM.
i was using one of the B&N clear protectors...I removed it and it still does it though not as bad....i'm hoping it's just the fingerprints causing it. I was in the B&N store earlier looking around, it started clicking on things on it's own, though not as frantic as when i had the screen protector on. With the protector on it was clicking so fast i couldn't get out of it, had to hold down the shutdown button.
i posted about the protector on the accessories forum.

Hm.. that sounds off krighton. I'm starting to think it could be a software issue. But before we dig into that, I think perhaps you should clean your screen as much as you can. If not, then you could try reinstalling your OS. I'm not too sure, is that possible? If so, or even if you can't, see if you can get anything done under warranty; since reinstalling could be a hassle.
I'm not too sure if warranty is available; I purchased the Nook HD+, and it didn't say anything about warranty, although I'd like to know. If anyone knows anything about warranty, could I please ask for your input? Thank you!

should get a standard 1 year warranty with the device....yeah sounds weird, cleaned the screen i 'll see what happens...would hate to mail it back in after rooting.
Just do 8bootloop b4 sending it back. But you should still at least try getting refund forthe screen protector if it cost you $20.
yeah, i'll check that out...actually bought 2, the non glare and the clear....didn't like the non glare so i'll eat that one but the clear should have worked without problems.
Which screen protector did you buy? I'm considering doing Invisible Shield. I have always had good luck with it on my phone.

I'm probably an odd person, but I never use screen protectors. It seems that the glass is tough enough for finger nails and the occasional contact with whatever else. However, I do believe in cases
I did it for fingerprints. The bare HD+ was awful. My anti-glare hides them, but I do have to wipe occasionally to prevent that wonky problem.I'm probably an odd person, but I never use screen protectors.

I always intend to get a screen protector, but never quite get around to it. That said, my Nook Color's screen is mint after a couple years' use with a case, but without a screen protector. My phone came used with a nick in the screen, but isn't much the worse for wear even bouncing around in my pockets for a year and change.I'm probably an odd person, but I never use screen protectors.

I haven't had any trouble with the clear B&N screen protector. I'm a believer in screen protectors since I somehow managed to scratch the screen of my first nook while plugging in the usb cable. I find the anti-glare type take away from the sharpness of the screen too much though.
I find the anti-glare type take away from the sharpness of the screen too much though.screen is pretty sensitive, just a few fingerprints and it turns pages on its own. Guess i need to find a better screen protector, cleaning the screen several times a day is a bit annoying.
Could rooting have caused any of these problems? When it happens i have to turn off the nook, wipe it down really good and then it works for a while until it starts flipping pages on its own again. Maybe my nook is just hypersensitive to fingerprints.
