Screen not switching off when covered!

Amazed that when I lay phone face down or close phone wallet cover over phone, display is not switching off. No proximity sensor or what?

Where's the setting for that??
It requires a app and there's​ no inbuilt option to switch off display when lay down.

Agree. Only turns off automatically when you bring it up to your face or cover it when you are on a call.

A3(2017) with Neon Flip: Auto switch on/off?

I have a brand new A3(2017) with a genuine Samsung Neon flip cover. I'd expected the phone to switch on/off when I open/close the cover. However, when I open the cover it starts displaying the time instead of the lock screen, and when I close the cover it doesn't switch off (as can be seen by the glowing edges).
Did I overlook an additional setting?

After some fiddling with the settings it suddenly works as expected. Unfortunately I have no idea which setting did it ... .

To work properly you will need to turn on both NFC and Android Beam.

Interesting... I have NFC disabled (don't know about Android Beam??) but closing the cover still works.

I had this issue and fixed like that :
- disable NFC
- turn off the phone
- remove the cover
- turn on the phone + PIN
- insert the cover
- enable NFC
the cover should work again now, you can disable the NFC if you want

I noticed the cover stops working after I answered a phone call.
To fix:
- open cover
- reboot
- close cover
A bit annoying...

Solution found!
Hi. I have found a solution to this issue.
I have a brand new A3 2017. One day after I purchased it I upgraded it to Android 7 Nougat. After this update the neon flip cover didnt6work anymore. NFC and other settings didn't change anything.
I finally managed to solve the issue in NFC/NFC and paying settings. I cancelled the default option "automatically detect NFC setting" to something like "use normal Android settings.
Then I disabled NFC and my cover works like under Android 6.
Hope this helps.

I'm still stuck.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The funny thing is that it seems the cover is detected. The 2 buttons on the bottom light up when I open the neon cover. However, the screen is not switched off nor on.
I tried playing with the NFC settings and read on another forum that you need to install the flipcase when the device is on but not screen locked. Only little success from time to time. This seems not very properly programmed

I'm having the exact same problem, my cover was working for over two months and suddenly it's not. The two buttons on the bottom also light up and off when I open and close the case, but the screen is not responsive.

A3(2017) Neon flip (Illuminated Edge Notifications) turning off?
I'm looking to turn it off, I'm trying to take photo's with the cover closed, but the neon flip cover closes my whole phone, and I don't want that, I only wanted a random phone cover my parents got me.

NO Battery percentages under flip cover GLOBAL/Asia (L29)

I have not found a way to get battery percentage to show up under the clock and date under flip cover (i have the huawei mate 20x ORIGINAL flip cover)
And I have activated smart cover in the settings, and everything works as it should but no battery percentages under flip cover, where you get the most use of it.
Seems to be different versions of emui for EVR-L29. I have EVR-L29 9.0.0.127 (c636e3r1p11patch02).
Bought from WondMobile.
Anyone else out there with the same problem or have a solution ??

I have the 8g/256g China version AL00 with the official smart cover. I might be wrong but I think the cover window displays time/date, notifications (not all of them, I've seen text msg ones so far, fb msgr ones don't show up) and calls allowing to answer/decline calls without opening cover. Not sure if it will display anything else.

jepp,, have everything , but no battery percentages shown in flip cover (smart cover ) mode with official smart cover.

I have Chinese version. My screen display is the same as yours when I power off using power button and that display stays on, constantly. But as soon as I close the smart cover all of the display disappears. It's a blank screen. But if I power down the phone by closing the smart cover the display is different, it shows time, date and weather (instead of battery). Then that display disappears after about 6 seconds and the screen is blank. Can't find any setting that will keep it on constantly when smart cover is closed.

yes we have the same problem, heh but i do not even have weather, Too bad it's so hard to get this tiny but important thing right.

Still no solution for this?
I have it with battery percent. But when i close the cover after some seconds it all closed... Not smart in a smart windows flip cover [emoji23]

Unfortunately not. Strange that no more react to this miss. The condition of the battery is as important as the time and date.

flip cover app that turns off the screen

Hi all, I tried several apps that turns off the screen when using a flip cover case. None of them work properly. Does anyone knows where I can find a working one.
*it isn't an official Samsung flipcover case
Thanks in advance

No one will work I think, frustrating, I used gravity screen app for turning on/off the screen via prox sensor, with past devices, but I found that with this note10+ with underscreen sensor it no longer worked, tried some othwr apps without success, my guess is that samsung no longer allows third party apps to make use of this sensor, so I think only their own flipcover case will work

Makes sense in a way

I got smart screen on off to half way work...it will turn the screen when I open my flip cover. But will not turn it off. So I just use the double tap feature to shut down.

I can recommend the samsung led view case. Its pricey (90 aussie dollars, i got it for $62 on special)
But it does what it says it will, the in-built led panel in the front of the case displays notifications, and you can design your own icon for different apps/contactsvor use one of the 20+ included icons.

But that's to turn the screen on, not to turn it off.

Absolutely correct, sorry... I misread your post. If you want double tap to sleep, you need to use nova or lawnchair or another 3rd party launcher. Its really odd that samsung hasn't included it to their launcher.

Thanks for the info!
I made a double tap to sleep gesture with nova
