Hi i just got a S-View cover for my s4 mini. Without the S-View cover the screen automaticly turns on when getting a message(whatsapp).
Is there a way to make the screen automaticly go on when getting a message with the s-view cover closed?
Because when closing the cover the s-view automaticly goes off after +- 6 seconds. And it only turns on when pressing the power button.
If there is something to make it turn on when getting a message it will be good for when your phone is on your desk or something.
sorry for my bad english.

Hi mustipusti,
what about switching the S View Cover function off ?
Then the S4 mini behaviour should be the same as having no S View Cover.
You will find the switch under: -> System Settings
-> Tab "My Device"
-> Accessory
-> S View Cover: Uncheck Automatic unlock
Please reply if this helps !!
Cheers,

Hello all,
I have a OGP with a quick cover. I absolutely love the quick cover but it does seem to impede the swipe lock screen functionality. If I close the quick cover it never locks. It stays at the home screen. If I leave the quick cover open and let the screen go dark on the timed basis then the swipe lock screen is activated.
Is there any way to get this to work with the quick cover?
Thanks,
Steve

The functionality you're experiencing is normal; the cover is intended to quickly unlock your device when the cover is opened, but it's possible to turn it off. Go into Display > Quick Cover and uncheck the Quick Cover Setting box.

So only for the Swipe option does this happen correct? I have used the Pin option and even when opening the Quick Cover I still have to enter the pin.

Yes, it will bypass the lock screen only if you have it set to swipe (or I guess no lock screen). More secure lock screens still require your input to unlock the device.
New to android here. Not sure if this is an android or nexus/stock rom thing but when I have my phone in vibrate mode and I get a phone call, it vibrates for the duration of the first ring then stops. I can barely differentiate it from vibration for notification. How can I get it to vibrate continuously until the phone stops ringing or at least for few more rings?
I keep getting missed calls because of this.
I think this happens when you don't have your phone in vibrate mode and enabled the "Also vibrate for calls" option.
Okay. I've just found out that this only happens if I have the cover of my flip case closed. I think it acts as if I clicked the lock button to silence the ring. If I have the cover open then it keeps vibrating then it becomes silenced when I close the cover.
OMG... what am I gonna do. I don't think google will try to fix this. Can android differentiate between the screen being lock via the lock button or the flipcase cover?

Which flip case do you have? I have the Folio case. I've asked my co-worker who has a Nexus 5 with an official flip case and it happens on it as well.
Looks like this is a known issue:

I have a leather flip case with card holders
I have a dot view case for HTC 9+. When I close the case - the screen goes blank - the magnet / sensor seem to work. But the dot view never comes up - I see the black screen only. I tried with a small magnet - same results, tried a few cases - nothing triggers the dot-view. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Does double-tapping the front of the case not do anything? It's meant to turn the screen off when you close it, and only wake when something happens or when you double-tap.
My E9+ with Dot View-Case shows no Reaction.It doesn't turn off the Screen when i close it and doubletap on closed case shows nothing!
I don't know if it's a Hard or Software Problem.My E9+ is a China-Variant(Root,S-Off,Super-CID)with the Europe Firmware 1.45.With the Backup
from BinDroid's Firmware 1.90. I have the same Problem??

Nope - tapping / double-tapping does not do anything.... without the case - tapping works

I hate to ask the obvious, but do you have NFC enabled on the phone?

Yes - I tried with NFC also. BTW - I think my case has only the magnetic cover (didn't see any NFC on the back). Is NFC needed to trigger the dot view -or- the magnet itself triggers it?

Try with a tiny magnet - place it on the left bottom (aligned with the htc logo - but on your left side). If that triggers the screen off - your phone probably is OK.

I honestly don't know for sure what's going on with it, but mine never works without NFC enabled. I've not got it with me to try right now, but I'll have a play and confirm this later. I also never tried with just a magnet but I'll try that later too.
@kanchanray
Thank's for the Tip but my E9+ made nothing with the Magnet on it.I tried it on every inch of the Phone,nothing!My M8 works perfectly with this Test.
Final update - could not make the case to work. Took it to HTC service center - they did a reset, tried on another e9+ and concluded that the case is faulty. They did not have a spare dot view case to demonstrate how it works on my phone - so, it's 50% confirmed in my opinion. Asked for refund from Amazon.
But, I was able to get the dot view to show up with a stronger magnet. So, I wonder of these cheap cases have a weaker magnet and hence the display only goes off but the dot view does not how up? Not sure.
Hi everyone, I need some help. I've just got this phone and a bought also a flipcase with a small transparent window on the front. The flipcase is an original one by Nilkin, it's working just fine the phone detects when it's open or closed and the screen shut downs accordingly. However, I can't pick up a call through the small transparent window when I have a call. There are no green and red earpieces to appear in the small window when there is an income call. Nothing. I tried to search in the setting, but didn't manage to find a solution.
How can I turn the smart view function of this phone on?
