Is there a way to turn off the Note 2 by just closing the flip cover that I have bought? I note that I can swipe my hand sideways across the screen and get a screen shot, turn the phone upside down to stop music ... but is there a setting that detects when a palm is placed over sensors or the phone is laid on its front or if a cover is closed?
This thread may help

i was trouble by this when i got my new casing for note 2 , at some point i cannot draw on the middle part on the right side with the S pen.
at first i thought the casing was too tight hence result "presure" on the phone so that i cannot draw on it ( i can draw on it using my finger), so i removed the case and everything is back to normal.
untill just now i finally realised it wasn't the casing , it was the magnet on the casing ( when i draw, i flip the cover to the back ). when the magnet get too close behind the screen, the S pen won't work on that area.
so here is my question. is it okay for the magnet to be so close to the phone , and will it affect the hard ware ( either S pen or the sensor in the screen ) ?
many thanks .
I have exactly the same experience. ...so now my phone is without a case. ..
Saving up to get the SGP case soon

Attached is my test...
The red big circles is where it is affecting my phone using the magnetic wallet case.

I had a case on for one day with a magnet clip on the right side of the screen and I noticed that the s-pen didn't work properly around that area. I can write there but hovering doesn't work too good.
I removed the case and it's been off for maybe less than 20 hours... But I still experience the problem and it also seems that when I'm using the GPS it can't fix on my location. It just jumps around on the map closely to where I'm located. Tried the same thing on my Note 1 and it found my location with no problem.
I think somehow the magnet from the case has affected something internally. I hope this is not permanent...

Ans: It obviously does.
Hello alls! Any Note 2 owners here have the Flygrip installed? Curious if there's any magnetic parts in the grip which could distort the compass. Thanks for reading!
Hm... Now I'm not sure the Note 2 behaved like it did because of the magnet.. I've tried several Note 2's in store and hovering on the screen around the sides only work if you have the S-Pen real close to the screen. The GPS works fine now, I think perhaps it was some settings I played around with with how to find my location.
I think so
The s pen's sensor in ur note 2 is some kind of magnetic sensor.

I think it affects the s pen input, I have a mercury case with a magnet which is used to close the case, and now when I'm writing or drawing with the S pen, the input goes haywire at that area so sad seems permanent...

Do you mean that even without the case you still have problems?
Hi,
Has anyone noticed or is my device somehow broken but it seems that when i draw near the left side of the screen it will be much more narrow than on center or right side. Defect screen maybe?
my friend had a similar problem, but in his case there was a circle the size of 1/10 the screen that did not respond to any pen input, he was sending it in for a replacement, it turned out that he had a magnetic cover(similar to the smart cover on the ipad) which somehow screwed with the spen input, as soon as he took off the cover everything worked normally, this might probably be your case too
This device has a "wacom" screen . It means thet if you press the s-pen the line is! thicker
try it open a s-note and drow 3 lines
1 realy press on the s-pen
2 normal presere
3 try to move the s-pen as lite as posible

Yeah i know. I tried to press little as possible or same amount but still it makes different thickness on left edge than center. I can make same amount on edge too, but i have to press much harder. I dont have any magnetic cover and this problem started suddenly when i was writing sms message.
Should the end of s-pen be bit loose?
Added after edit: There is little difference on thickness when i press really hard. Tried s-note and sms message. There is difference, but its really really small difference.
Are you using a cover that has a magnet on it?

Okay so it seems to be more feature than a bug. I can happily root my device now
Okay so i recently got a galaxy note 10.1 2014 ed. and i bought this ivso case for it: ww.amazon.com/Samsung-Edition-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Portfolio/dp/B00FJTV0PG
I like the case and the detachable keyboard but what i cannot stand is the effects the magnets have on the tablet. It makes it auto wake, which i guess is kind of nice, but when i fold it back around behind the tablet, it always auto locks my tablet. It also will not let me drag the drop down notification bar from the top when it is folded around the back.
Anyways, i was wondering if anyone knew of any apps or settings to disable the effects of the magnets on the tablet? I've spent hours googling and trying out different apps and whatnot but nothing helps.
Thanks in adv,

What I did was get a sharp knife and take the magnet out. Stick a velcro instead.

I folded some papers and slip it underneath the tablet in the case. It block the magnet so it won't off the screen when u flip the cover to the back.
The pen holder strap that comes with the cover is too small to hold my Wacom stylus feel. So, I got some stretchable strap, loop it and staple it to the paper. Now I can slip my stylus comfortably attachedge to the cover.

Off topic, but how do you like the Wacom feel?
I'm thinking of getting one but I read that it is not as accurate as the default stylus, unless held at a 90 degree angle (!). Is that the case?

There is a bit of offset. But it doesn't affect me much. Just write or draw like normal.
In apps like lecture notes, tgere is a setting where u can adjust the offset to make it accurate.

I have the same problem. Did you figure out a way to disable the magnetic sensor?

No. I ended up just getting a different case that doesn't have a keyboard. Since there's no magnetic keyboard, the magnets aren't nearly as strong and only affects the tablet when I open it, not when I fold it around the back.
Thanks for the speedy response. On close inspection I noticed that there is a small magnet on the front cover top left corner about 1 inch from the top. almost invisible but can find it when we run a coin over the surface of the front cover. When the back side of the note 10.1 meets this magnet, screen switches off. I noted that by placing a magazine/ booklet between the front cover and the back when using in flipped over mode: the screen does not switch off. A small victory. But wish that samsung provides a solution 2 disable this magnetic screen off feature through a menu option.
i have same problem and i fix it by take out magnate from cover. i hope found a better way for this problem
Did anyone find any way to turn off the magnetic lock and unlock function? When I backfold my cover (aftermarket), it automatically locks my tab. Which is very irritating. I have Samsung galaxy tab S5e
You'd think that the guys who make these cases would just add a small amount of padding over the magnet so it only activates the sensor on the one side... To simple an idea I guess...
Hope someone can help me out with this one. I've had my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition for 4-5 months now, but recently, I've been having issues with it randomly pulling up S Finder. Also, I've noticed that in the middle of some apps, the settings menu will expand. It happens more so when I'm holding it than when I'm not. I didn't start having these problems until I bought a case for it that has 4 bands, one in each corner, that you lift up to slide the corner of the tablet under so it can hold the tablet in place. Do you think it's possible that the bands were too tight, and now the sensors on the tablet are messed up, or the screen was held too tightly, which now results in the menu soft key, or some screen sensor, being messed up? It's very aggravating since I'll be right in the middle of doing something, and then S Finder pops up, which I then have to back out of. I thought about disabling S Finder, but the tablet, not being rooted, won't let me. I really don't want to send it back to Samsung, since it's still under warranty, but that's what it's looking like right now.

How are you holding the tab when this happens
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
It happens when I'm holding it on the sides, when I have just one hand under it, or when it's sitting flat on a table or my lap. It happens no matter if I'm holding it or not.

Your probably holding down the menu button on accident
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
Nope, it happens when I'm not touching it at all. If I set it flat on a table and use it, it still happens. That's what makes me think something might wrong with my home button, like it might be stuck or pressed in slightly. Sometimes it happens continuously, and if I pick it up and set it elsewhere, it only happens occasionally. By default, what usually launches S Finder? If I hold in the home button, then all my running apps are shown, as it should, if I press it once, it goes to my default home screen, as it should. So I don't think it has anything to do with my home button. It seems like the stupid case it was in put too much pressure on the screen and now one of the sensors is messed up, but whatever the case, it can't be software related.

this bugs the hell out of me. when holding it portrait style your thumb naturally gets placed right where the menu button is. wish it could be disabled

Holding the "MENU" capacitive button like @pierrekid said in the previous post.

So the menu button is defective. Probably from the case I bought that holds the glass down tight. This must be the case because this happens when I'm not even touching it.

I was just going to guess the same.
I think holding the menu button on is what activates S-finder. Mine's rooted and I'm a portrait user. Got so frustrated with it I froze it with Titanium, along with all the other junk.
