Hello,
I have the Clear view cover from Samsung but it doesn't lock the screen when you close it, it stays where you left off. On the S6, it did lock it.
Is this normal or im missing a setting to enable this?
Thanks.

did your S6 cover have embedded magnets? IIRC, thats how the phone recognized that the case closed and changed the screen to show its specific lock screen for the clear cover. Im new to the S9, so this is a shot in the dark

Yes, both are the offical samsung one, so they have magnets and NFC to be recognizable by the phone.

I owned a smart cover for my galaxy note 8.0, it can work properly like sleep and wake.
But here's the problem come,
usually the cover is cover the front of the tablet, but when we use it, we will flip the cover to the back of tablet.
while the cover touched the back side of the tablet, it will also put it as sleep.
so, how to disable smart cover auto sleep?
i had tried the "Lock instantly with power key", but it required at least security of "pattern"
Any ideas?
Need help! THANK YOU!:good:
I guess something is wrong either with your cover or device - putting the cover on the back should never put the device to sleep.
I don't recall anybody reporting similar problems here, also the small sample we have at home (2 notes + 2 covers) behaves correctly.
The best thing (although it's probably easier said than done) would be to establish which one is malfunctioning and have it replaced if possible.
otoh I would also be interested in a way to disable the cover on/off function - mine is so sensitive, that even the slight move of the front part wakes the device, causing increased battery drain and making betterbatterystats readings useless.

I have seen that happen a lot with ipad cases. Its due to a poorly designed case.

It happens all the time to me. Put it nicely in the back. Not a single bit cover the front. Shake the device a little bit. The cover hits the back of the device, make some noise and screen turns off. Magic. As if the device can sense magnet even by its back. But when it sits really tightly that no space bw it and the case, problem solved by put on some sticky tape in the back.
Smart cover not smart at all T^T~ but original case without having that problem right?
Smart cover problem
Still looking for a way to disable the software that causes auto sleep/wake.
The problem with some covers is that they are not authentic from the manufacturers. The original Samsung case for Note 8/N5100 has the correct magnetic power in the case flap. The other covers have a magnet that is too strong so when the flap is in the back the magnet still effects.
I surgically cut the magnet out of the cheep cover and closed it back up. Disabled auto wake with the modification. I am guessing the same could be done with the original authentic Samsung case but it is hard to cut the little magnet out because its built in seamlessly so you cant see the exact location of the magnet.

Original Samsung book cover should not have that problem. i have been using the book cover for almost five months and not facing said issue.
Hello,
i recently bought a 10.1 2014 and i got an official case with it.
This case got a magnetic band which is working pretty weirdly.
Actually i always thought that a tab will sleep when the cover close thanks to the light sensore.
This one detect the magnet, and even when i open it and put the cover behind the tab, it will sense the magnet and stop the screen.
This is annoying.
But worse, when i start the screen again and that the tab is still on the cover (which is behind fully opened) i wont be able to bring down the notification panel. this is insane...
Any idea why ? is my tab working wrong ? or its my Case which is totally ****e ?

Same thing happens to me with the moko slim fit case. I think it is due to the magnets being slightly stronger than average. I put a cloth between the case and the camera area and it stops it from doing that. Still I will probably send the case back. I have till the end of January to return it.

This happened to me too and crashed the notification panel which is very annoying. I just tried put a piece of cloth b/t camera & case and see if that helps. I'm glad that I'm not the only one experience notification panel crashed or something.
Thank you for your answers.
If it can change the behavior of the system like this, do you think that after a time it might dammage the hardware to have a permanent magnet stuck to the tab ?

Sutely it will cause some permenant damage after using such cases for prolonged lenght of time which is why I never bothered with the cheapy cases, not worth the risk.

Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the automatic magnetic unlock feature of the 10.1 Note. I've got a case that sometimes will turn of (lock) my Note 10.1 when I don't want it to turn of, without closing the case itself.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Same problem here......I even changed the case!!
Probably something that would require a kernel level change.
Check Under accessory settings. Tasker can probably disable the Magnetic Sensor

There is a xposed module called MagnetOff

From Poetic support, turning WiFi off normally takes care of the problem.

I've noticed on mine when I uncheck settings>general>acessory>daynote it won't lock when I close the cover. Worth a shot on yours!
I also have that feature disabled. The case also has a cut out for the home button. I traditionally keep the wifi disabled.

Hi all,
i'm running into, i believe, is the same issue.
When rotating or moving the tablet, the screen will automatically turn off and lock.
I've disabled the eye sensor, increased the screen time out, and disabled day note, with no luck.
Such a pain!
If i root this device, is there a guaranteed way around this 'feature'?
Well, i couldnt take it anymore and removed the magnet from the case.
Here's the case in question:
w w w.amazon.com/COD-Leather-Samsung-Galaxy-Edition/dp/B00EZB3EXU
what i did was to take another magnet and move it around the cover until it connected with the other magnet.
With a sharp exacto blade, i split the seam of the cover and pulled out the magnet (about 5mm in diamater).
It's all good now

I've read that the magnet may also interfere with the stylus pen. Will be getting a new keyboard/touchpad leather case soon but I didn't read whether it had a magnetic strap or not. Guess it won't bother me much and like the user above will probably find a way to remove it.

having the same problem with my note 10.1. Am using an after market cover which is quite good except that when the cover edges touch, the screen automatically switches off. Very frustrating. Wish samsung would provide a way to disable the magnetic sensor. I am rooted and even tried the magnet off xposed module but it doesn't work.
Any news about that problem ?? I have to disable the magnetic sensor !!
I removed the magnets.

Hmm, but i don't want to cut it out.Is there any way to close magnetic sensor with build.prop ? I mean what is the tweak code for this ?
Did anyone find any way to turn off the magnetic lock and unlock function? When I backfold my cover (aftermarket), it automatically locks my tab. Which is very irritating. I have Samsung galaxy tab S5e
Hello,
I've discovered a strange behavior of my i9195 recently. I've ASUS X200 laptop. When I put my phone on specific point near the trackpad screen of the phone goes black and only date/time is visible. What causes this? Some kind of embedded RFID/NFC chip on my laptop?
Thanks,
Farid.

That screen is S-View window screen. It activates when magnetic material or a magnet is near back of your device.
Did u ever try a S-View case ?? When u open or close the s-view cover the screen turn black or normal. It is quite alright.
Nothing wrong with your phone.

Hi
I just got an original 'Elephone P8000' protective case through the post, the one with the Round window at the front?
It fits great so no complaints there, but apparently, when you close the case, it is supposed to display the date and time through the window? Mine doesn't, just a black screen until you press the side buttin and then just the normal screen part showing through the window. Is there a setting that I need to adjust? Anyone else had the same problem?
Thank you
Any info on this please?

I got the same case when I ordered my phone. Yes it should bring up a circle with the date and time. Check if the case has a little magnet like thing next to the hole for the ear piece on the top. The basically covers the sensor next to the camera to "tell" the phone that the cover is closed. If it's not there then the case might be faulty.
Mine works just fine though but I wished they had some options to use the little circle window there for something like LG G4 case.
yes it sounds like the magnet thing isn't activating the clock, are you on the stock rom and if so which version? Don't think flyme rom works with the round clock though I haven't checked.

I have the stock rom as it came. Didn't change anything on it. If you have Flyme Rom then you can do a google search or if they have a specific forum for Flyme and P8000 they can probably give u some advice.
I'm using the 1508 rom and it works fine, might be worth getting another case as they are cheap or contact your seller and see if they'll send you a replacement.
