My girlfriend bought tab s 10.5 and ordered case from China. And now it's blocking randomly even when cover is open. I think it's because magnetic sensor and didn't find out how to turn this function off. And option in "Accesories" isn't working. What should I do?

1. Backup, then factory reset or try update your firmware manually with Odin (rule out software).
2. Return the device if possible.
3. The only way i know is to disable the sensor in the kernel compile. I haven't done it in my kernel because the sensor is a feature. So, if she's rooted, i could compile a stock-like kernel for you to flash (warranty void) and test.
Another solution: buy an original cover instead of a "cheap one" from China!
You can disable the cover functionality in settings

I assumed the OP had, but it's quite possible as he didn't state one way or the other

Anyone stuck the accelerometer on their galaxy S3 yet? Only one axis on mine works now. Is there a way to unstick them or am I about to have to try to make the thing stock again and go for warranty service?
It may be broken. Try wiping and see if it fixes it.

Did a factory reset, didn't help Any idea on how these things functions? like can I tap it a certain way to unstick it? Pretty sure it happened when I dropped it about 3 feet. Its got a heck of a case so there was no phone damage at all but perhaps the shock stuck the accelerometer.

They contain microscopic crystal structures that get stressed by accelerative forces, which causes a voltage to be generated. If you have two microstructures next to each other, they have a certain capacitance between them. If an accelerative force moves one of the structures, then the capacitance will change. Add some circuitry to convert from capacitance to voltage, and you will get an accelerometer
The drop most likely broke your accelerometer and threw off the crystal structures. I don't know if there is any fix. My advice would be to use your Warranty

Do I need to unroot and flash back to stock? or will they cover hardware issues regardless of the OS?

I had the same situation. I flashed back to stock and it has been fixed for over a week. I have not re rooted or rommed yet. Stone stock it works fine.

I searched around, but could not find anything
So sometimes the S-View works when I close it - shows the little window
Lately it has been just cutting whichever screen it has in half and I have to restart in order for it to start working again. Is this normal or should I go return it?
Has this happened to anyone else?

I know this doesn't help you at all, but if you wouldn't mind, could you take a picture of the inside of the back of the case (the part that snaps on the back of the phone)? I really want to see what makes this case actually work. :good:
Yea...

Thanks.
Mine only turned the screen on and off, exchanged it at T-Mobile for another case and voila, just exchange for another one.
yea I am going to do that today. I went yesterday then it started working and they ran out...going to call before today
Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem that when I tilt my note (s-pen in the socket and facing downwards) and shake lightly, the device detected that the pen is detached but in fact it is still in the holster. It pose as a problem because when I bring out the device the screen turns on now and then when it is in my bag. This cause a lot of battery drain. I'm not sure if everyone is experiencing this or my set is faulty.
Anyway if anyone wonders,
The stylus problem is related to a LCD problem according to the samsung technician. I was playing with the day note using the ipad's smart cover. I wonder if its the magnet that damaged the LCD..
Same problem

I just started having that problem as well and I haven't put my screen near a magnet. Did the tech give you an idea as to what needs to be done?

It is the same to me. I don't use any magnetic case. Sometimes I grab with my hand and it turn on because of the pen detached detection.
Is there a way to turn it off? Without root?

Why in God's good name did you not, or do you not, return it and get an exchange? This is obviously not normal behavior and is a problem, and will likely get worse as time goes on....I would not accept that out of a6 hundred dollar tablet....no chance
Anyone feel the detection of the s pen in the holder is too sensitive?
Going to be getting this tablet tomorrow and I was wondering how SquareTrade works? I bought the tablet for $499.00 on Amazon so am I supposed to buy the 450-500 plan or the 500-600 plan? I got the 16 GB version so MSRP is $550 but I paid $499. I'm new to this extended warranty stuff.

GT-N5110 wifi version. Ive had this device for 10 days. Out the box it was running 4.1.2 and seemed work great other than the occasional 3-5 seconds when screen would become unresponsive during normal use. After using it for a few days I decided to go ahead and update to 4.2.2 thinking maybe it would fix the screen issue. It did fix that issue but now im having another problem. After the device sits dormant for awhile the screen doesnt respond to touch but still works fine with the s pen. Ill turn it on after sitting all night and after swiping to unlock the screen it becomes unresponsive. I usually have to lock/unlock the screen several times before it will start responding. After it starts working I can be on it for hours with no more problems. But if I lock the screen an set it down for awhile when I go to use it again it does the samething. It seems like it has to warm up. I tried doing factory data reset but that didnt help. It is rooted also but the only thing ive done so far is get rid of some bloatware.(i didnt root it untill after the problem started). Anyone have any advice?
Do you have your note in a cover , and if so does it have a magnet.

That does sound rather crazy, the unresponsiveness is out of the ordinary... did you try turning off a lot of the extra features built in by Samsung? another thing you could do is download Clean Master from the play store and take a look at your Ram use-age and clean out some cache files with it, this might help with the lag. The touch response could be hindered due to a case or screen protector... other than that the only thing i could think is if there was physical damage done to it before that could cause the touch screen to act that way.
Ummmm... I would have taken it back to the store and asked for a replacement.
That is not normal at all. even with the device's settings left alone, there should not be any issues with responses with touch.
Note... The pen feature is totally separate from touch. The screen has two different features, one being a digitizer for the pen function the other for touch. It is possible that during assembly that the connection for the touch screen is faulty, as a bad solder joint during wave process could make the connection heat related. As the device cools, the contacts contract causing a fault with touch operation. When heated up from normal use, expansion forces contact between connector and board for normal operation to function with touchscreen.

The problem was my samsung book cover! Can't believe samsung would make a cover that causes these kinds of issues. Glad I only paid 7 bucks on ebay instead of 50 at best buy. Thanks guys for the comments!

Thanks for the FYI. I was using the moko whatever with a keyboard and I got the freezes all the time. I was thinking about the official Samsung one but if that gives you problems then forget it. I almost sold this thing on eBay cause I couldn't take the freezes anymore. Now I use a tpu case with it and couldn't be happier

Hi sorry if this has been discussed already but I couldn't find anything like my situation. I just upgraded my n7 2013 flo model to the deb LTE version and for what ever reason my magnetic case doesn't work with this version of the tablet. I close the lid and the screen stays on I even tried using a regular magnet to see if it would activate the sensor and nothing any one have any idea what's going on? Its 100% stock except for being rooted and custom recovery

My magnetic cover is working on my deb, but when i've tried it with a regular magnet, nothing happens.
two choices for you :
It's an Hardware problem, so >> RMA
Your case magnet has runaway Or for an obscur reason, the magnetic cover support is deactivated in Kernel.
