Low battery = touch screen issues?

exodus1999 · 11-22-2010, 03:01 PM

Anyone having weird issues with the touchpanel when the battery gets low?

-when i had the keyboard out it would click multiple buttons,
- turning pages would go multiple pages or skip around
- unlocking the nook (slide bar) id have to do it slow and a bit below the icon

When i charged it back up overnight it worked fine. Anyone else have this?

Not yet. I haven't gone below the 1/2 mark. I charge it at that point.

not yet and I haven't put it down since I got on Thursday.

I usually let it run down to the warning dialog box

let it discharge and see, if it is a reoccuring issue BN should fix it, if its just mine i should replace it

Ok I'll give it shot but I do let mine get down pretty far, last night I let it down to under 10%. That's about my comfort zone, but I'll push for 5%

I'll play along!

Well, that could be taken the wrong way. I won't top mine off.

i think mine was around the 10% so it could be just mine, ill find out tonight or tomorrow when its low.

I have had some issues with the screen changing to another place even though I didn't touch the screen, and the battery was almost fully charged. Additionally I've found that if I am browsing a list up and down the 'touch' is very sensitive. Almost too sensitive because it launches when I don't want it to. Since the Nook Color runs Android OS I wish there was a way to adjust this sensitivity and here's to hoping either someone roots the NC soon or B&N updates the OS with more controls.

I have noticed this issue when the battery is low and when I am using the nook plugged in. It causes major problems with the detection of the touch screen and is definitely something they need to address in a future firmware update.
