Freezing on wake? - Possible issue with type 2 sd card

[Fallen]

New here .. In all honesty, I walked in to B&N in search of a particular book, Magic of the Recluce (great book by the way.) They didn't have it. Wife who was with me questioned why I don't have a nook with the amount of reading I do. I had never really though of it before as I have a Thinkpad X120e netbook. Fabulous machine, though just a tad big still to be ultra-portable. I also have an iPhone, of course too small for reading. Needless to say, I walked out of the store new nook in hand.

I digress...

Reason for the first post is a general observation. I've recently noticed that every time I try to wake the nook from it timing out, it will freeze with the "wake bar" across the screen, nothing further. Every time requires a reset. I had just thrown in an SD card I had lying around. From what I can tell, the recommended nowadays is type 4, mine was type 2. I've taken the card out since, though it did freeze the exact same way while testing. Though I will say, I think this might have been the cause of my issue. Has anyone else noticed something similar?

Hi Fallen welcome to the forum. A micro SD card that is class 4 or higher is definitely recommended. However, if you're still experiencing the problem after removing the card, you should return the tablet.

Congrats and welcome

Definitely not normal. Since your Nook Tablet is still new you may want to try a factory reset to see if it clears the problem. Hold both the power and n button until the Nook reboots. Once it reboots you will see the "n" logo appear on the screen. Let go of the buttons 2-3 seconds after this appears. You should then get a factory restore screen press n (home key) to continue and then press the n key again to confirm.

Hopefully that will clear the freezing issue. If not return it for another.

Alrighty. I brought it to the store today. Techy kinda gal there did the factory reset. At which point, the keyboard would not show up for registering no matter what we did. I ended up upgrading to the 16gb model. Found out the 8gb had a 512kb processor, figure I may want to spend a little extra now in case I find I can use it. New one works like a charm

Sounds like a good outcome. The 16GB is a fine little machine. Just bury you head in the sand when people stat talking about the Nexus 7. Since you are clearly in your return window you may want to look into it before burying your head though if you can wait a month to get one http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ay-google-play-store-199-99-a.html#post220886

Glad to hear it all worked out well and you've got a tablet you're happy with. Be sure to check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/18783-b-n-free-friday-books.html every Friday to get a free book from B&N.

Nexus looks good, though considering I wasn't really looking for a tablet... I've still my little x series thinkpad that runs diablo
