Hello. This is my very first time on the xda app and i love the immense amount of knowledge. I have recently discovered an "always on display" for the zuk z2 plus. Now why i put that in double inverted commas is because I dont know whether it actually is an always on display but it looks like the one on the samsung s7 and s8 phones.
So i live in india, and have a 8 month old indian zuk z2 plus 64gb variant on the nougat rom. It is pretty much stock with a couple of apps such as 'Material Notification Bar', 'Nova Launcher', icon packs etc. So i was playing music on my phone and was playing with magnets, and an idea struck my head. What would happen if i bring a magnet near to my phone (if thats not supposed to be done, excuse me). I brought the magnet close to the camera and swiped directly below the camera towards the speaker and charging port. And what i noticed was shocking.
The phone closed all the apps and went to the lockscreen. Then at a particular angle, it activated a screen with a sky blue circle with a white clock with a dot that was revolving around the blue circle as a second animation and the amount of steps i have covered in a day ( recorded by the inbuilt U-Health app). It was a great "view" and i would love to rock that as a screensaver or something else. I searched the whole settings app, each and every column and row of it but could not find anything leading to it.
I will also post screenshots of it. If it is caused by an app that i have installed or something else, please excuse me for making a big post out of it, as i am only 15 yrs old. Please feel free to ask me more and i can provide any relevant data that may be required. Peace.
The image attach features is not working for me, i have tried my best to still post it.I f The picture is still not available, i can mail it to you.

I think what you saw was Dock mode, When you placed magnets near the phone it thought it was connected to a dock.

What i think is that due to magnetic rays, the Snapdragon processor (which is placed near the camera) is confused and displays that particular screen because it thinks the screen is being activated by the user.

Dude, thats the smart-cover clock! I use a case with a rounded window (it has a magnet in the cover) and when you close it, a circular clock appears for a few seconds (you can change clock themes). Also notification alerts appear on the circle and you can answer calls there without opening the flip cover. The only option is under "fingerprint & Passcode" and it says "Cover Unlock"

Sure, I got this one h t t p s://bit.ly/2ExVEZc
Just search on Ebay or China shops for "zuk z2 window case" and you will find many. Make sure its not for the pro model and also get a case with a magnet on the side to hold the case close (I also tried the Nillkin Sparcle and its bad because the case wont stay closed as it has no magnetic clip on the side).

Oh really dude when I bought z2 plus 64gb one then there was a offer that when I will buy z2 plus from Amazon it will include a free cover which was of 500rs and that cover was this. So I ordered z2 plus and I didn't take this cover and I gave them 500rs less???

Hey guys --
I just posted a video review of the KeviKevCase. I purchased it last week. I am not a reviewer, just grabbed my camera and decided to shoot a video about the case. Please forgive the quality, I just tossed something together for users who are still unsure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRysHWqaLgc
Thanks, but with that black pad you have in the background, it's hard to see anything of the case. You need better lighting.
I stay in a bat cave. I tried to lighten it up the best I could. Maybe i'll reshoot at work.
I bought this case and there are few funny things. Like as you mentioned in your review the devise is upside down
And this can cause some problems when you are watching a movie or playing a game and the screen software does not use the function of screen rotation you will found your self holding your xoom in odd way to play the game.
In addition, if you need to plug your xoom to the charger you can't close the case because the devise is upside down.
Otherwise, if these things does not really matter to you, an ok case.

That would be the fault of the software not using auto rotation not the case if the xoom went in the other way when you had it in landscape the camera would be at the bottom facing your belly not your face.correct?
I am sorry but that is just damn unacceptable .... they made the case to Carry the device upside down....that's bull sh*t...

Lol um those of you saying its upside down.... turn it over. The small part where the case bends is the bottom. If you look at the other eBay auctions for this case you will see that you are actually holding it upside down. The back panel that folds into the notch is the back when you fold it around and not the bottom. This makes it where the device is almost standing up when it's opened.
I have the Motorola case that is sold at the Verizon and best buy stores and it opens the same way with the charging ports facing the inside of the fold.
This is how it should look when opened.

Umm then we flip it over and the cut outs on the back for the important things like SOUND, the front and back CAMERA are covered up now and the POWER button.

This is true. However, not all apps support the rotations and sad thing most of the games and video apps usually does not support it. though I understand your point the other possible options propaly will cover the camera ..
What about power cut !! you can't even charge your xoom if the case is closed !!
The more I use the case the more I'm getting annoying. I need to open my case and lay it face down to charge my phone at night.... Now, I have to flatten out the case to play a game.. it's starting to making me a bit mad. Hopefully he comes out with a different version and allow us to exchange if we are not happy. Something needs to be rethought out or something.

If you use it like the op who posted the video did (upside down) then yeah, the cameras would be at the bottom, the speakers would be facing the surface you have it set on, and the power button would facing down.
If you stand it like it's shown in the product pictures (right side up) the cameras are on top and when you turn it around everything is up top like it's supposed to be.

Anyone heard anything if it will come to note 2?
Never because the Note 2 doesn't have the sensor that automatically turn on or shut down the screen when you open the flap.
They best they could do is make a half baked one that only shows the Window and nothing more. You'll need to open the cover and swipe to unlock or turn off screen.

Yeah probably, but remember on the s4 it's held together by magnets where it doesn't exist on the note 2 so it'll probably flap around if they made one and the screen will also turn on and off constantly as the cover slides across the screen slightly. There's also problems of battery drain and possibly if it malfunctioning in darker environments.
Well probably never see one from Samsung since that's how they'll get us to upgrade, so anyone wanting this will need to make an app themselves and make their own cover.
I searched and found a Note2 flip case with call view windows. But I could only find them sold in India!
What gives?
Why not available in the States?
s4 has IR (InfraRed) Sensor Too For Better Accuracy So Maybe It Uses IR Sensor Instead Of Proximity Sensor :/

S4 has an infrared blaster not sensor.
It sends out infrared signals for tv etc but cant receive.
S-View has nothing to do with infrared.
The case has a small magnet which is detected by the phone and seen as a S-View cover.

Just bought this case:
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e1105...em=151072468410&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
Hope the magnet is in the cover, so i can use it with an app called Automaton. This app uses the magnetometer. This way we could have the s4 view on the note 2
Will report back after receiving the case. Then i will contact the developer of automaton for the magnet usage. Hopefully he is willing to create the S4 feature. (will donate for it ofcorse, and maby get more GN2 lovers interested :good: )

The case has to come from Korea (hope the south) . It takes about 14 days to get her from now.
I think around okt 4th the case is here.
I will post back if it works.
EXTRA NEWS:
To get a real S4 kind of solution with S-view, i now am testing TouchWake on my device. I use NEAK kernel and this superb kernel supports the TouchWake option. If you set the delay to 0 TouchWake works all the time.
I flashed the s4 theme from this forum. This theme is really good and gives a s4 like lockscreen (see attachment)
To answer calls and end calls without opening the case there is a standard option in the sammy rom.
Go to settings\accessibility and then choose answering/ending calls. You are good from there
Oh yeah, check this one out: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281154672407
i bought the navy color too...who knows
Anyway... Touchwake, extra options for answering calls and the s4 theme should do it
Just 2 more weeks waiting and we will know.

Hi all,
Got the case today. Works perfectly with the app i mentioned in my previous post.
The sview is a great feature on the Note2 :thumbup:
Search Ebay for "note2 sview" and you will find tons of cases like this one.
I didnt find a magnet in the case though. Think thats only with s4 / note3

Hi dude,
Were do you live? I live in Holland and there is no local store here that has a N7100 s-view case.
If there is a official Samsung n7100 s-view case then this would mean that the new update for our device would have some sort off s-view enabled option.

I live in India. No, there is no official S-View for the Note 2. So, there would be no such feature in the update.
Hey guys,
Does anyone know a full screen protector like this?
1) I want it to be full transparent
2) No coloured bezels around
3) Covers all the front side of the phone (from top to bottom and left to right)
4) Don't care if it is plastic film or tempered glass
Most of the protectors I have found, they are small and leave gaps on all sides of phone that are not covered.
Thanks!
Check this out.

It`s a film that covers full screen, is totally transparent and without any bezels. 3mk is one of the biggest screen protector makers from Poland. They are sending their products all around the world (UPS delivery) I`m using it on every of my phones. I`ve tested it on Galaxy S6, LG V10, Lg G6, Oneplus 3, Nexus 6P and now on Xiaomi mi a1

I was like you looking for fully trans but I gave up. Fully transparent glass are hard to see, because of the curved borders, they either have to make shorter glasses or hide the glue in the colored borders.
I'm currently using this one and Im really happy:

It has color borders, not fully transparent... but quality feels good, it's really close to original look. Its hard to put in place and align the soft buttons with the notchs, but if you manage to do then it looks like there is no glass at all.

I was like you looking for fully trans but I gave up. Fully transparent glass are hard to see, because of the curved borders, they either have to make shorter glasses or hide the glue in the colored borders.

Does this one have little dots on it? I've bought several of similar ones, but they have annoying little dots on them.
Edit: I saw that you've already answered in another thread, so I think I'll buy this one.

Yeah, the glass part is similar to normal (short) 9h tempered glasses. It makes it a pain to put correctly but looks amazing.
Does it cover part of the screen at the side?

It covers the full front and has a little curve in the edges, but its not 100% curved to reach the metal part like in a S7 or similar protectors. With a case, you wont see any gap.

It`s a film that covers full screen, is totally transparent and without any bezels. 3mk is one of the biggest screen protector makers from Poland. They are sending their products all around the world (UPS delivery) I`m using it on every of my phones. I`ve tested it on Galaxy S6, LG V10, Lg G6, Oneplus 3, Nexus 6P and now on Xiaomi mi a1

Looks nice, but the site is in Polish, changed the language to English and still difficult for me to navigate and fill in the form.
I also am not sure with the shipping to The Netherlands.
Any way to buy this not from .pl site?

You have to use google translator if you have problems with filling the form.

I'm currently look around.. Seems like all the cases so far are just silicone and crap. I had a friend pick me an X up in Shanghai and they got me their "case" but when they sent me a picture I was less than amused.. It basically is just a leather back and no protection on the sides or front. Cost 99 RMB to.
I found an official one on Ebay-->
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/100-Officia...77f5f0da:m:mme4c0P508JEIma1PM7ZAxA:rk:37:pf:0
And I also found a decent quality wallet case as well. -->

I will then see which one is best for me
This belongs in the accessories forum. Will have moved. Thanks
Most cases I found didn't have enough raised edges to protect the screen... I found one from eBay which seems to protect well and cheap. It should be a good temporary case until better ones come out.

Giztop has some cool ones too. I ordered an Alcantara case for the Mate 20 x. Will let you know if its any good when it arrives.
Some nice ones here [emoji1303]

"enough raised edges to protect the screen"
That is all I care about. If you find another good quality case that has this feature, please quote me and post a link to it.
I may care about a case that goes along with the pen.
These are the best cases that I have found for the Huawei Mate 20x.

Have had my AL00 since December and have a non- official smart case. It wakes the phone when you open the case and puts the phone to sleep when closed but when I get a notification it does not show any icons in the window.
I see you mention 'and on display function without opening the cover'. I think this is what I've seen on the net (see attached image) which is called 'smart touch view'. But I'm not sure how it works or if it's just a misleading statement. Would appreciate comments regarding your experience of this feature?

It works with open/close the display when u open and close the cover, then u can se who is calling to.
I can take the phone without opening the cover and end the call to.
I can see when i got emailband sms, thats it.
And this works fine for me, dont need more actually [emoji4].
I have 7-10 pcs. covers, most different, many in genuine leather and all with smart functions, always have this kind of covers for my mobiles, since the birth of smartphones hehe
I also have this with the stylus holder omfg BIG like a super tanker, i will for sure never use this and btw i never use the stylus any way lol, same happent with my 3 Sammy note phones in the past. I like to buy them, smart stuff and then i dont use them lol, i am idiot u know [emoji3]
I've been modding phones since the OG Razr days, and even though I don't do a whole lot anymore, I still consider phones a hobby. I was going to wait for the Fold5 or the Google Fold, but after doing a buttload of research (my normal M.O.), I decided that the Fold4 was ready for prime time. Throw in the fantastic trade-in deals and it was hard to say, no. As I told my wife, I haven't been this excited about a phone in a long time. I have to say, I'm impressed. Haven't had it quite twenty-four hours yet, but it's blowing me away. Obviously, the Samsung screens look beautiful. Sure, the outer screen is narrow, but not unusable. Especially if you swipe type. The inner screen? Well, that's what it's all about, isn't it? It's gorgeous, I love all the real estate, and being able to fold it up and throw it in my pocket is icing on the cake. I plan on reading more, and using it for GPS/Waze in the car is freakin' awesome! I'm really loving it. My only complaint, so far, is the sideways scrolling in the app drawer. Come on, Samsung! Continuous perpendicular scrolling is much more convenient. Thoughts? How do you folks like yours? Tell us what you like and dislike.
Dude, download GoodLock and you will love it even more.

Cool! I stopped rooting with my Pixel 6 Pro. I could ad block without root and with dark mode baked in I was somewhat satisfied, but I did miss Substratum. This is like Substratum without root. Love it! Thanks.

The fold for is such an impressive phone. I'm sorry that I waited this long to dive into the fold arena. I use the flip 3 and flip 4 but got rid of those phones and this one takes the cake. I don't think I can ever go back to a regular slab phone again.
coming from a note 9, i don't think i'll be able to go back to a slab phone. i've been holding off buying anything and for the longest time my note 9 was my daily driver. if i wanted to upgrade it, it would be something different. i was almost tempted to get the fold 3 but opted to wait until the fold 4 came out. the outer screen being wider than the fold 3 (ok, just a little bit) and the cameras were the clinchers. my wife got me the fold 4 for father's day after she saw me reading/browsing and making numerous trips to jb hifi to inspect the phone on display. the spen is fantastic and the only thing i lost from the note 9's pen is the camera bt remote and the sound it makes when i take out the pen (my son asked me to change the remove and insert to sounds of a light saber). took me a day or so of fiddling around and setting it up to the way i want it to be. it's now the same layout as my note 9 which suits me. i'm still using nova launcher with a klwp preset for the inner screen. outer screen is using just a static, black wallpaper. goodlock has proven to be very useful as the alternative to one ui's taskbar and it's provided me with an easy power off and screenshot buttons. the only shortcoming i've seen so far is sometimes android auto fails to connect with the phone. i know that an update is on the way to fix this but at the moment and easy work around is to clear up the cache from google playstore. other than that, the inner screen real estate is fantastic for browsing, reading books, vids, and all.

Me: Verizon will give me all but $99 back for my Pixel 6 Pro toward a Fold4. I'm going to order one.
Wife: You're getting a new phone? You haven't had that one a year yet.
Guess who's Fold4 is being delivered today. She had her 6 Pro for a shorter time than I had mine.
I'm gettuing annoyed with both the skinny front screen and the crease. I have an Oppo Find N and the crease is almost non-existent, as well as a Vivo X Fold. The outer display on the X Fold is the perfect size, I find the Find N a bit small now (think 2009 size) and the crease is also a hell of a lot better. Both these phones were purchased long before the Z Fold4 and neither crease is getting worse over time.
My perfect foldable would be the X Fold hardware (adding in S pen too) with the Z Fold firmware. And add in a micro SD card slot as well.
Until these phones hit the global market however, Samsung won't do anything about this.

the crease is there to get waterprotection which none of the chinese phones have, I rather have that than not, do you really think Samsung can't make a phone with non visible crease?

I'm with you. Give me the water resistance. The crease is a non-issue for me. I really only notice it every once in a while.
Is prefer the lesser crease. I don't tend to swim with my phone & both the Oppo Find N and Vivo X Fold both work fine as long as I don't dunk them in water. The lesser crease helps if writing on the screen with a pen which I do a lot...
