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.

Ok, it seems there is a position sensor in TyTN (correct me if I'm wrong). When my phone is in its case on my belt and it's turned on (usually by a call), it's rotated (as if the keyboard's open). It takes too long time for it to rotate, and I can't answer the call until it rotates back to normal. So my question is, can this sensor be turned off, or is there other thing, that makes the screen to rotate and eventually how can I solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm useing Schap's ROM, but the problem existed in the official rom, and the Black rom, and the official WM5 rom
no position sensor that I know of and I have never had this problem :s

Yeah, there is a position sensor on the hermes. It's a magnetic sensor that detects whether the keyboard is open or not.
The problem is most likely your case. I've heard of issues like yours. The magnetic snap on the case fools the hermes into thinking the keyboard is open.
I don't believe that there is a fix to bypass the sensor, as it is hardware. But I may be wrong. If not then you might need to look at another case that uses velcro or something.

ah now that would make sense, i never use that stupid case that comes with it, they are really ugly! so that would explain why i never noticed it.
My wife came up with a great solution when I had this poblem (standard case causing phone to start in landscape) - turn the phone the other way round! Now I have the screen facing my belt and the phone is ALWAYS in portrait when I get it out.
Sounds silly, but try it - it works!
Yep, that's a sollution, but there is one other detail. There's no other position I can plug the earphones .

Solution..... Bluetooth Headphones.
It appears to be a magnetic switch...
Your case must have a strong magnet on it, I can't get it to effect the switch if the phone is completely closed. Only if I have it partially open.

I have exactly the same problem. Also, my phone is NEVER put into standby before closing the keyboard.
I'm going to try storing it with the screen facing towards my belt.
I simply use Brando case and HTC BT S-100 headset. and never have a problem with phone starting in landscape.

FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

It's also the way to receive less radiation in your body, because the GSM antenna is pointing away from your waist.

I can, and I used a Tesla-meter to measure them:
in-between the two magnets of the case and the lid, there are around 150 mT (Millitesla) which is pretty much!
for comparison:
a usual horseshoe magnet would have 1 mT, the magnetic field of the earth has about 0,05 mT!
Hello, I wasn't able to find anything but does anyone know of any settings or a program that will lock the clock on the home screen. The phone unlocks in my holster or pocket and i always hit the clock and keep changing the time.
Random thought/stupid question. I assume that you are using the built in "lock" and not just turning the screen off correct? I know others have had problems with a magnetic latching case activating the "you pulled your stylus out sensor." It shouldn't be a problem with you keeping your phone in your pocket, but if it's just in the case when this happens try getting a case that uses something other than magnets as the catch.
Personally I love this little gem:
Smartlock
After you install it, you can find it under Settings > System. You can set it to lock the screen when you push the power button, when it fades out by itself, even when someone calls you. Very handy.
Also you can install this one here to make the lockscreen look alot better:
Dusk 6.5 lockscreen
I use both and I'm very happy with it

Actually i just wanted something in general. Just cuz the clock doesnt need to be changed all the time and i always hit it and it always goes into the clock settings or my alarm clock settings.
Good luck =)
the only way to change the behavior of this is to mod the lua file that controls it!! usually not fun or easy to do

Create an unlock password and it will not unlock in your pocket or holster. Problem is that without a password, the phone will unlock when it thinks the keyboard is slid out. It can think this if 1) keyboard is slid out 2) phone come in close proximity with a magnet (some holsters have magnetic covers)
Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.
Display is set to turn off after 30 seconds but it refuses to turn off whatsoever. Manually pressing the power button causes the screen to turn off but a moment after it will turn back on. The screen does not turn off!! I'm suspecting a possible wake lock issue because Wake Lock Detector reports lid_suspend_blocker (under Kernel wakelock) triggered 6000 times...

I would suggest either doing a factory reset or flashing a different ROM to see if the problem persists. If so, you might have a hardware problem on your hands.
I just switched to LineageOS few days ago. Before this, I was on stock ROM. On both ROMs, I had to disable the flip cover functionality because the flip cover overlay would constantly pop up and close randomly even though I have never used a flip cover before.

understood. factory reset not going to help. that is an issue with sim flex.. have you ever opened your device? try to tighten all the screws. else the only solution is to replace sim flex and some times bottom pcb too.

Hi, how do you know it is due to sim flex problem? I have the same problem and it happens after a while after I change my battery. Not sure if it is related. Also, I have problem with 4g. The 4g signal is full but I have a cross below and there is no internet.
Last time I had this screen problem and it resolves itself after I changed a cover but now it doesn't work.

yes it is issue with design. some time opened devices report that issue. remover the battery and remove the bottom charging port PCB. install again and tighten the every screw firmly. if does't work and you do not want to use cover view. simply turn off cover view from settings
Tightening the bottom screws worked for me.. Thanks
OK, I'm puzzled by how this screen appears on my phone every now and then (see attachment). It happens when I am charging it after using it, i place it on my desk. Then the screen appears...
The thing is, I am not sure how this screen comes about (what apps is causing this screen). I have magazine unlock, so rightfully, I should see those magazine covers.
And when this black screen thingy appears, I just need to lift up my phone a bit/ or tilt it and i am in my homescreen.
Any idea?

i think you're right. i checked and very likely it's the "Smart cover" under Smart assistance. Not sure if it's turned on by default. Anyway, I've turned off both options under Smart cover and will monitor over the next few days.
