CONFUSED: how does turning the screen off kill the battery... wouldn't it save the battery...?

[Q] Galaxy S4 Sleep and Wake function

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"

Quickwindow Tweak (Screen off When Closed)

Hi
I have an official G2 Quickwindow case for my G2. I'm really impressed and happy with it. But there is this annoying feature that I would like to disable.
When the screen cover is flipped closed while the screen is on,the phone goes to'quickwindow' mode. I know it's an in built feature but I would prefer the screen turning off when the cover is flipped close.
Disabling the quickwindow case under 'accessories' will not cut it as I want the screen to turn on when the case is opened and the quickwindow mode activated when the screen is gestured on while cover is closed.
I'm free to any options. Do help me if you can! Thanks! ?
Cheers

Locking Phone by closing case lid

HI Guys,
just a short question, i have my S5 placed in a Case wich covers the display completly if closed.
As i know from my new galaxy tab pro and a note 2, normaly if you close the lid the phone locks and turns of the display.
Now this isnt working on my S5. I've checked light and proximity sensor with the Service menu (*#0*#)
Seems to work.
Didn't find anything in the menu?
Am i blind ? or is this feature really missing? Or is something wrong with my phone?
regards
Steven
This requires a magnet.. Maybe the case does not have a magnet. Or is improperly placed for the s5..

[Q] Disable S-Cover Feature in AOSP

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.
