[Q] Understanding Asus Cover Function

Hi,
Since buying the Nillkin Sparkle case for the ZE551ML version (think that's the right combination of letters!), I have had the virtue of enabling the Asus Cover function on the device. It's proving to be very useful, with the option to take photos, use the flashlight, check weather and calendar updates, as well as getting the time and answering calls with the cover closed. However, I've been unable to fully understand a couple of things. Firstly in the clock display, you can slide down and access information from another time and date with counters below for missed calls, emails and messages. For some reason, 10.10 (unsure whether am or pm, due to it only being analog) on February 24th is displayed with 3 missed calls, 27 messages and 99+ emails without giving me any option to press on any part of it and investigate further. I'm not sure of its significance, but I have a feeling that it is giving me information from the stock email and messaging apps (I currently have changed default to Hangouts and Gmail), but have no idea where the 3 missed calls are coming from. I have no missed calls in the first default window. Also I'm curious to know how I change my clock display to digital in Asus Cover mode, as I'm sure I remember it being like that when I first fitted the cover. Bizarrely it's now analog and not nearly as simple to grab the time quickly. My hunch is that the change in clock could've changed with a system update, but I'm still not 100%.
Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Ok so the ASUS Cover function has like 8 or so possible apps you can use in circle view. You switch between them by swiping horizontally.
Swiping vertically reveals different views or opinions.
For the clock circle view, swiping down reveals different themes. Swipe horizontally after swiping down on the clock app to see different themes. The theme in view when you swipe up is the one that'll be in use.

Circle Flip cover does not work on my AZP 2. All the settings are activated.

The ones below are examples, filled with example data.
You can select one of the three below the clock as the default to display. There's one digital and two analog clocks to choose from as the display.
That's why it shows 3 calls, 27 messages, and 99+ email. It's example data to show you what the numbers will look like if you select that as the default.
To change:
Activate clock (double tap screen with cover closed)
Scroll down to example clock.
Scroll right to see different clocks (one digital, two analog)
Press on the clock you want to make default.

Is it an official case or a third-party case? I've heard of some of the cheap knock-offs not working properly due to the magnet placement.
In Settings, be sure that ASUS Cover is checked. Shouldn't need to do anything else.
Of course if you use a different launcher it may not work. I'm not sure if they interact properly or not.

It should. The only real difference is the screen resolution; the body of the phone looks identical to me.

See attachment. If that isn't there, try checking Settings > Apps > All > Cover View.
If that isn't there, then try installing the Flip Cover apk that I've attached. I just pulled it from my phone.
Might need an updated AsusSystemUI.apk as well if it doesn't show up in the Settings Menu.
Let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately the app does not install on the phone, see attachment
May the ze500cl is not compatible with the ASUS cover?
However I want to thank you for the support.

Once cm is launched how can we use cover in it?? Any ideas??

I think that devs will add this feature... :thumbup:
(Zenfone2 ze551ml rooted)

Is there any alternative app to the ASUS Cover app?
I am especially missing a nice watch widget on the flip screen.

Hi All,
do you know any other apps to work in circle view?
or just the predefined apps are there
thanks

Screen off memo

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?
Tks

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.

Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.

lol No, I'm talking about the shadow at the bottom not the icons. I guess the screenshot isn't showing my issue off very well.

To see the shadowing one must turn the brightness to the max. I don't know how to get rid of it. I know I don't have it but I am in Nougat. And not so many icons can be presented at once.

Android P Ambient Display Question

Anyone know what this line is for on the ambient display for android p?
https://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nexus2cee_ambient-display-p.png
I'm thinking it may be where weather would go if you have that feature set up. I don't. Wondering if there's a way to remove it.
Thanks!

I assumed it was just a separator between the phone's info (time, date, etc) and the notifications? I guess you need to find someone who has the weather enabled (I don't) to see if it's still there. I'm guessing it is.

The line is a seperator on ambient display, the pics in the link you quoted are the lockscreen, not ambient display.
the weather on ambient display appears to the right of the date just as it does on homescreen.
remember ambient display is an all black screen.
And yes, it also does appear on the lockscreen, in the same format: date - weather
Seems some people have it, others dont.
I had it yesterday, but its gone today.

Yep it is a separator to split out notifications from the standard Ambient Display info.
Thanks for the info on getting the weather to display. Good stuff! :good:

When I fixed the weather thing I just removed the Google update then put it right back. No reboot was required for me.

ohh, that is very odd.

I didn't need to wipe the phone to fix the missing weather on the lock screen. Go into apps and disable Google. That reverts it to an older version. Reenable and give it a little bit and it will be there.

Although it's less of a problem, because this morning it has disappeared altogether. Still, never mind. I'll just look out of the window.

I actually never got it to work even though I tried the "fix" I quoted. And further along in the comments, it looks like it disappears for everyone.

Question Fold 3 Questions

Hi All,
I have just got myself a fold 3.
I have a few questions i need help with please.
1/. With external screen can a hardened screen protector be put on and if so do i need to remove pre installed protector?
2/. I am thinking of buying this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0995WPCXJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5&psc=1
Am i correct to say just the basic s pen will fit and not the pro?
3/. Not sure between the standard s pen and the pro.
Want to make sure it will fit in the case.
Thanks everyone

1) not to my knowledge. The toggle is in the notification shade. You may want to check in settings for the Auto Rotate option and see from there.
2) Go into Accessibility. Or, go into settings and search Google Assistant.
