Galaxy note 10.1 have hidden proximity sensor for smart covers like iPad

As the title says write *#0*# in dialer and you can test it, its called grip sensor located at the top right near the camera by about 1.5 inch , move your hand over it and It will detect your hand ,let the developers benefit from it

Yes but tablets don't have proximity sensors (other than 7.7,7plus ) and it seems functioning only in the test menus so I think Samsung hide It for some reason as they haven't announced it in the official specifications , by the way have you tried it yourself

Does it have a SIM card slot? If not, there's no GSM radio and therefore no dialer.

As I said the software makes no benfit from the sensor (dunno why) but you can test its existence in the test menus by typing *#0*# in the dialer then choose grip sensor

No I tried it with no luck the function seems to be disabled by the software , and I think that they are afraid from apple patents war , that is why I opened this thread to make developers tell us how to benefit from this sensors, anyway have any on (other than me) tried it ?

If you own an iPhone or iPad do not use them near the note, if detected by the proximity sensor... the blaster will destroy them

The only news about a "grip sensor" on Samsung's device was revealed on Samsung Continuum Device which was a device with a 2nd display on the bottom released in december 2010... that display, show info about weather, news etc when you press the Grip sensor without wake up the first display..
I can't find other function about this "grip sensor" ...

I hope the developers can do something with this. maybe sooner, we can have smart cover. I don't know why but i fancies the iPad's smart cover. Just the cover though. lol. :laugh:

I thought the iPads smart cover used the magnets to wake it up

got a regular silicone case. better for drops and i think its kinda gay to only look at 1/4 of the screen unless you remove the cover, when you can always look at 100% of the screen.

I have to agree... What's the point in looking at a portion of your screen? When most likely you'll open it up fully to reply?.
Like posts above me more protection in a case +1

Haha yeah but just having the ability to see some without exposing your whole screen is kinda cool.

using about 2 days.. it is nice but would be better if someone mods the sview screen adding more apps and abilities. now you only can take notes use camera and listen music.

I was very tempted in buying sview case but then i thought about it for a moment why did i buy note 3? One of the main reasons because of the massive screen so what's the point in buying sview so I can cover up most of the screen!!

The first thing i thought about was "Wont some part of the screen be unprotected with that case?, i don't want any scratch on my phone"

I want it for viewing the message details without having to unlock the phone. I can bring it out of my pocket, glance at it and put it away. Swiping to unlock may not take long, but I generally have a password. I am hoping that the SView allows me to view the info even with a password lock
In time I'll get the Gear, but only when I know it works and probably when they reduce the inflated price (more than many phones!).

[Q] something weird with the stylus

hi guys
i just bought samsung gakaxy note 3 N9000 (exynos version) 2 days ago and i noticed something weird with the stylus
there is a certain area of the screen (to the right exactly) that the stylus doesn't write properly i need to press hard on this area when i try to write or scroll and sometimes it doesn't write even if i pressed hard
any ideas what could be the problem??!!!
the finger touches work normally only the stylus
i tried to record it but all screen recorders require rooting and i don't want to root this phone now
i took a screen capture by "Screen Write " feature with the air command .... you can see clearly the area that has no Red lines in the right of the screen
thnx all

thank you for your answer :good:
the problem solved by removing the case
i read on another forum that some types of cases interfere with the magnetic field of the stylus
weird :silly::silly:
i removed the case and the stylus is working fine now all over the screen

Better Than discarding the whole case

Any case with a magnetic latch causes this problem, happened to me in note 2 .that area of the screen is exactly where the flip cover magnet button is when the the case gets turned on itself

Samsung Gave ME FAKE Gorilla Glass ? [PICTURES][

What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?

What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen

I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Yes I do, had kind of the same thing at my i9305. Seems weird but has no impact. If it bothers you you can always take it back

I have one year warranty of Jarir Qatar but problem is i am in india , i am not going there anymore.

because i really feel some problem with this glass.

Can't you take it direct to Samsung?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.

Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.

It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?

[Q] Small "bubbles" on screen

Hey guys, i bought my new Galaxy S5 . Its perfect, but I have one problem. When I go out, or the sun is shining, small bubbles appers on screen. I can clean it, but in five minutes its back. Is there any solution for this ? I attached a photo of it. Sry for my english.

I personaly never heard of bubbles surfacing from under a glass screen lol but if it should be true i would exchange the phone and be done with it. Or check your roof for leaks

I saw it on forums, But the people had cheap phones. I will must exchange it...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

So we are waiting for your feedback after exchange

Hey guys, so I did not exchange it yet, but I discovered interesring fact, so when it's cold, there are no bubbles on screen, but when it's warm, its much more visible... And I think the mistake is on digitizer because i can clean it, so it is not under display
