Hi,
I got a Nexus 7 3g from Canada and purchased a flip case in India which advertised that it's a smart cover for auto screen wake/sleep. However using this flip case it is not working and would like to know if the Nexus 7 3g every came with that feature of auto sleep/wake when used with a smart cover (like an Ipad). Can someone please confirm if it is working for your Nexus 7?? If yes, how can I check if it's working in mine?? (any other way to check if it has the auto sleep/wake function, other than using another smart cover)
Any help and enlightenment will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Get a magnet and try for yourself. Location of sensor in video: http://youtu.be/wx30f6XV-Bk
Hi,
Tried that with a magnet and strange that it's not working.. Is there a possibility that Google stopped including the sensors?? Or does it differ since the version I have is from Canada?? Can someone who have recently purchased confirm...

Hello Guys, I discovered at first I was thinking its was a software problem because the Back, home, and APP buttom it wasnt working, so I reflashed, and still not working, so after testing more and more, I discovered that the problem was in the touchscreen.
NOT working on the bottom, I enabled the developer mode and turned on pointer option and location of the pointer, and showed me that was the problem.
The Q is if I change the LCD + Touchscreen digitizer I will work again ??
It should work. But it's gonna cost ya. Might as well get a replacement from Google.

Yes. I've seen them for 90$ online.
Send it back to Google. I would.

Install Elixir from the Play Store. You should be able to disable the sensor.

So I got some NFC tags, planning to automate some functions for convenience.
One to turn off wifi and turn on GPS, BT and mobile data for use in my car and one to do the reverse when I get home, etc.
I got the things and immediately saw the problem. My S4 is in an S-view case that is not particularly thick.
While in the case, the phone simply does not "see" the tag at all. Out of the case, it does.
So essentially, if I want to use NFC, I have to take the phone out of the case first.
Is that it? Anyone have any ideas?

I can only say that NFC works fine on my s4 with an OBEX case on it. Are you sure you are using the correct tags for the s4?
Nfc works quite a bit of distance away. Mine goes through my spiegen case and my wallet(have a tag to unlock on my bum) and it works flawless.

It does work pretty well through plastic.... it goes through a friend's otterbox defender case and my spiegen just fine

Very interesting. I am using brand new Samsung Tectiles, bought from Samsung.
The case is not that thick, but there is a piece of metal stuck to the inside back for my iMagnet car mount.
Could that be the culprit?
That would be a bummer as it is the best mount I have found so far - bar none.

Hi all. I've got a nexus 7 (first one) and the magnetic sensor is driving me insane. I've got magnetic mounts on my car dash and have metal plates stuck to the back of my tablet so I can use it as sat nav, music, etc...... But if I don't position the tablet just right it turns the screen off. I really need to disable the magnetic sensor. It is rooted and running custom rom but I haven't a clue how to disable the magnetic sensor. Anyone know? I've looked around on here and Google but nothing. Thanks all.
Just stripped my nexus down to find the sensor and its just behind the glass but its built into the LCD if you look closely it looks as if the LCD has been positioned off centre that's where the magnetic switch is positioned there is no way into it without cutting into the LCD case

I really need a software mod to disable it tbh as its still under warranty. I did see something on here about a system folder then LID folder but I tried changing the name of folder to disable it but it wouldn't work. Surely someone knows how to do it via altering a few lines of text or a flashable zip. Thanks.

Try asking whoever wrote your ROM or kernal (if your not on stock) they must have written in support for the sensor so presumably they would know how to "break" it

You should install xposed framework and MagnetOff Module (you can find tutorials on xda)

Hi !
Someone please let me know why my Nexus 4 wakes up by itself at times when in my pocket ? Suddenly, I find the phone getting warm in my pocket and when I pull out it's open with some app or few pages open, etc.
I have stock Android KitKat 4.4.4 running. Everything runs great except battery is lousy and this wake up problem I just mentioned.
Appreciate if you can help me please.
Thanks !
Best regards.

Do you have any issues with the touch unit? Is your phone registering touches even when you don't touch the screen? Because if that is the case, you might have to replace your phone's display very soon.
If that is not the case, it is quite likely that your pocket is a little tight, and somehow the power button is getting pressed. This would set the phone screen on, and the occasional brush against your thigh would be enough to unlock the phone. And unlocked phone + thighs = mayhem (screen on, random activities and hence battery drain)
Either put the phone in your shirt pocket (if you have one) or set an unlock pattern/PIN/password so that the phone can't act nuts. Best alternative though would be to get a flip cover.
Cheers!
