Anyone else who uses the S-View cover notice that you cannot pause or change tracks for Spotify or Google Play Music apps with the cover closed? Does this feature only work with the Samsung Music app?
Ok, anyone even use the S-View cover?
Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the S View case to work on non touchwiz ROMs?
The clock on my lock screen lines up to the window fine but it would be awesome to be able to wake/sleep the device by closing the cover.
How does locking the phone work? If the case is closed i can see through the little window on the case and interact, is that a lockscreen app of some sort? If I open the case, will it simply open to where I was previously, or my home screen of choice (Nova launcher)?
I wanna be a bit more clear on the software side of the workings of the s-view case before purchase. I recently bought my note 3 and updated to 4.4 already.
Thank you.
I used Spigen Slim Armor View and also have original S-View cover, but I dont think I could explain it in details.
I suggest to browse youtube for good overview on how S-View works because only pictures can explain otherwise there will be so many miss assumptions/understading in discussions. , you can post questions on youtube as well to get answer from on hands experience users.

If you close the cover, it will automatically lock but the screen will stay on for a few seconds.
When you open the cover, it will automatically unlock and you will go back to where you where before locking the phone (this can be truned off in the settings so that opening the cover takes you to the lockscreen).
If you press the power button with the cover closed, you will be taken to specialized interface in the window.
It shows you information like time, weather, missed calls, messages, number of steps walked (integrated with S Health).
You can check the missed calls and messages, take photos, control your music and make a note in action memo.
That's about it, I guess.
Alright, thanks for the responses.
My only fear was that the "specialized interface" with the cover closed (with missed calls, messages, weather, etc) is a touchwiz thing, so in other words I would need to use touchwiz as my launcher for it to work.
I guess that's not the case then, and using Nova or any other launcher is not a problem, the special interface still works.

You just need a touchwiz based ROM. Not the launcher itself.
Guys, anybody knows any third-party S-View cover which has smart functions (awake on open and sleep on close) without third-party driver app?

Look bottom. This software so good :good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739730
Try s view plus. Works ok on the s5
I have a Google Edition ROM on my device. Whenever I close the cover, a clock pops up. Is there a way to disable that so I can use hall monitor?
