I've recently noticed that the AOSP roms for the i9500 now include an automatic sleep on cover close feature.
Is there any way to turn that off? I want to use durka hallmonitor to manage the cover, since it displays the time in the S-View window.

Hey guys, this is extremely bothering. I have an xqisit folio case that also doubles as a stand. Anyways, when I open the case, the screen lights up, and if I open it just ever so slightly, I notice there's this view mode that displays time and battery, the information that shows through the s view cover.
Anyways, I don't own a s view cover nor do I want one. I also don't want the screen to light up when I open the case because that means the screen's not completely off/phone's not completely resting and uses up more battery.
How the hell can I disable this? I've googled and found nothing and also gone through the settings but found nothing there as well.

well i suppose your folio case uses also the magnetic sensor used by the s-view cover to turn the screen on and off.
as this switch was primary implemented for the s-view cover its the default behaviour to show the s-view screen when you close your cover.
afaik there is no mod to change it right now but i hope this "s-view mode" will be customizable in future with the help of our fantastic community devs! :fingers-crossed:
anyway dont worry about the battery consumption too much as the s-view screen is only displayed for about 5 seconds and then the screen turns completely off.

Thanks a lot! Out of thanks for the moment so can't thank you.
I have S view cover.
When the screen is unlocked and you close the cover, it will show the time. If u open it a little, it will still show time. But if you open it till roughly more than 30 degrees, it will either show the lockscreen(for those with passcode/pin etc.) or homescreen(for those with no lock).
When screen is off and you close the cover, it will not show anything. Open the cover alittle, maybe around 20degrees, it will still not show anything.
Hi I am very confused.
I bought 2 different cases for my girls friends Galaxy S4. One is working but does not have the S-window. The other has S-window but does not have sleep and wake function.
My questions is: How does the sleep and wake function been activated on the phone? Is it similar to an iPad where there must be a little magnet on the case to activate the function or is it purely activated by sensors on the Galaxy S4? Or other ways? I noticed the S4 has plenty of new features that uses its internal sensor so I am thinking maybe the sleep and wake function was implemented automatically as long as you get a flip cover case.
Anyone know?

Yes sview is activated by magnet. The sensor is close to the volume down button but more at the back of phone than the side.
You need a reasonably strong magnet, I found that a fridge magnet wasn't strong enough. Need stronger one.
P.s. The title of thread isn't quite right should be more like "how is S-view activated"

Hi, I've an hardware problem with the quickwindow sensor (I don't know if it is based on Hall effect sensor + proximity sensor). This cause me that when I flash CM 12, for example, on my G2, after unlock the device from the lockscreen i've a black screen, like I've a closed quickwindow cover (but I don't have any cover).
Because now I can't repair the hardware, can anyone suggest me some trick to modify the zip of the rom to eliminate every quickwindow function?
With the stock or stock based rom is sufficient that when I run for the first time the rom i go to setting>Accessory and disable quinckwindow. In g3 based rom I try the same solution but when i receive a call appear the quickwindows app for incoming call.
In CM rom I'cant try this solution beacuse I can't pass the lockscreen.
Thanks in advance.
sorry for my english
bye
Hi all,
When my phone is in my pocket and I get a notification or sms, the screen powers up and since I have the simple swipe lock screen, it unlocks and f**s everything up.
I think it should be obvious not to power on the screen when the proximity sensor is blocked.
There are some apps in the Play Store or xposed modules (Gravitybox) that claim to have this or a similar option, but none seem to actually work.
Did anyone else experience this? Does someone have a solution?
only sms and battery notifications should wake your phone.
for sms, switch to Google's sms app.
battery notifications aren't very common in your pocket.
you could also look for an original samsung "flip wallet" cover.
the screen turns on automatically when you open it, and can't turn on when it's closed.
this also completely removes the need for a lockscreen.
I also have a tasker profile I could send you, but for your issue it would only work if you have a horizontal pouch/case.
edit: the reason those apps/modules don't work is because the sensor seems to constantly recalibrate/reset itself.
so if it's triggered a 2nd time in your pocket it will have recalibrated and think it's no longer in your pocket.

Thanks.
I've put on the new Messenger app from Google (apparently they have 2 sms apps now), and disabled the Samsung builtin one. I'll have to see if I get any accidental unlocks in the future.
I'm asking, how is LineageOS working with S-view cover today? Like with resurrection or anything similar. Because before, only reason I switched back to touchwiz was because I couldn't answer/hang up calls and control media through the S-view cover.
I just tried it.
It displays a clock and incomming calls on a blue background. It can show the charging status by changing the color. If you open the cover it wakes up the phone when you close the cover it locks the screen. There are some settings.
Everything works ootb.
Version: LineageOS 14.1-20170118-NIGHTLY-klte
hello,
i installed LOS 16 days ago, can i choose a picture for the smart cover? On stock i had a picture shown everytime i close my cover.
I only see a blue screen with clock right now
