Hello,
I recently bought an S-view case for my note 3, and I have been wondering how it works. I was wondering how the finger detection works through the window (and more specifically why it doesn't work on Cm based roms) as well as how the cose/open detection woks. It's obviously not proximity, and I checked with a few apps, and a magnet, and there dose not seem to be a magnet inside the case either.
If anyone can enlighten me on either of these issues, I would be truely grateful.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been trying for a while now, and have only found dead ends.
I purchased a Spigen Slim Armor View for my new S5, not realizing that their functionality had been changed since the S4.
Having easily realized that all the 3rd party apps I can find for "fake" S-views are god-awful. I started looking for a solution to bypass the check for an S-view chip, and force S-view mode on bootup. My phone is rooted, and I do have xposed frameworks, but every mod I try just doesn't work. Does anyone have any solutions? I'd rather not have to settle for the awful apps, or have to buy an authentic case/chip to physically mod my case.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated guys!
Tried a couple more scripts and kernels last night... Still no luck.
I'm hoping someone here has a solution!
Sort of in the same situation
I just bought the IC chip from aliexpress, 5$ for 2 and got a screen protector
After installing and inserting a small magnet from the headphones on the lower left of the spigen s-view case, the phone now recognizes this and forces the phone to show the s-view display
the only issue i have now is that the view in the spigen is smaller than the offical samsung s-view case, hence the camera and answering a call is cut off
is there anyway to mod the s-view window on the phone to make it smaller?
Hi everyone,
Just got a factory refurbished Note 4, on Lollipop 5.1.1 and I am having a strange problem with the proximity sensor.
Basically, and similarly to several users on this forum, the sensor appeared not to be working (checked with *#0#*, CPU-Z, etc...). HOWEVER, if I press lightly on the top of the screen (no, not over the sensor, but that works too) the sensor goes back to working for anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours.
What gives? I would like to try and fix this w/o returning the phone or tripping Knox (root, new firmware, whatever). Any ideas.
Has anyone else had this behavior where the sensor seems not to work, but goes back to working temporarily if the top of the screen is pressed down a bit?
Thanks everyone!
i have n910c too. XSG.

YES. i thought i was the only one. I only notice when i made 2 calls. I have this phone for 1 month now so i'm returning it to the store for repair(?). Also, when u push down the corners of ur screen, do you notice that it somewhats moves in?
just wondering, did u buy it from bhphotovideo or expansys?
Yes, I *do* notice it does move in a bit, although just on the top left side of the screen (which is how I "fix" the problem for 20 minutes). I bought the phone in Brazil where I live, so no, not BH or expansys.
Hi all!
My approximate sensor isn't working anymore (OnePlus 2), and when I searched for the reason (or solution ) on the internet, I've found this link:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/afx-zip-containing-persist-img-reserve4-img.198286/
I've downloaded afx.zip (with persistent.img) and just wanted to know if someone has had the same problem... And how did he fix it... Is it dangerous to flash persistent.img?
Best regards, Lorenz Demar
I had the same problem. Then i removed my tempered glass protector which was covering also that sensor. now it works as it should.
Also, having a wallet case for this phone with card holder can put the upper part to far away from the proximity sensor for it to function, that is the case with my CaseMe leather wallet case, solution is to put some layers of electric tape on the upper part inside of the case ?
Thank you guys, nothing helped. I have'nt a flip cover so I don't think this may help but thank you anyway for your time, I think I try to flash persist.img. I'll Update this post if I'm done
Ok guys please listen!!!! Do not flash persist.img it will destroy your device!!! I have no camera at all working, cpu-z says there are no sensors...
Thanks in advance...i am having trouble with s pen...it is not working on certain part of screen...please help me out. I am on using n910g Norma v5
Which part is it? If it's in the middle right area of the screen, it's the magnetic clip in the case you use. ( I try to be Sherlock )
If it's not, then maybe there is some kind of interference from an external source in this part?
I'm not using any magnetic cover...dont know ..even screen calibration code is not working
Hello.
I have thought that Le Pro 3 has a hall sensor. If it does. Mine is not working. I have x720 phone. with 19s version. I don't think is original. It has Google Store and not a single chinese sign or bloatware. I think is a vendor rom.
I tried with a lot of magnets and and there is no hall sensor. I ordered a flip case that was supposed to work with that sensor and open/close phone when you open the cover.
I checked the Accessibility/hall sensor option to On but nothing works.
Did anyone checked his phone for hall sensor?
Thanks
Lastest for x720 is 18s...
Mine eui version is 5.8.019s (Stable)
I testet on my device and there is a Hall sensor and its working well.
I am on the s18 on x720
You have test it with a magnet?
I don't know if mine is not working hardware or maybe is the vendor ROM to blame.
I have installed Sensor Test and at the magnetic field it says uncalibrated. I don't know how to fix it
When I aproach a magnet to the phone in sensor test it detect it and it show it works. So I think is the software to blame.
I tried again with cydras rom. And somehow it works sometime. When I try with a magnet, close to the buttons it works but only sometimes. Not allways.
I received the original flip cover and it works. It must have a special magnet or something.
The phone works and close screen when I flip it.
