I have upgraded my S5 to Lollipop last week and I´m very pleased with it.
However, I have found a problem... I´m using the Samsung Leather Flipcover WITHOUT the S-view window. When I have a alarm set it doesn´t sound at the alarm when the cover is closed. If I open it just within a minute after the set time it sounds the alarm... but If I leave the cover closed it just tells me that I have a missed alarm.
I have read that some people have problems with their alarm after Lollipop Update and the few sollutions available I have tried. But in my case I think the problem has to do with the cover.
I have shut of the "lock/unlock with cover" but the screen still turns off when I shut the lid on the case.
Any ideas how to fix this? If I try any other alarm-apps it works just fine

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this slightly strange problem with the Nike design.
I was investigating why my Orange UK Nike battery life was poor, and why I was getting some strange call answer behaviour (the phone would only ring once before answering, and spontaneous ring my last number dialled!). I have a belt buckle case with a magnetic clip that I keep my Nike in when at work. I discovered that when I put the nike in the case, it always wakes up from standby, even if it was locked.
I then put the Nike turned off and locked with the slider closed, next to the magnet on the case and found that not only turned on, but also went straight to the grey options screen (that say new email, new sms etc).
It therefore seems that the slide sensor is magnet activated, and therefore everytime I put it in the case it would turn on and stay active, therefore killing the battery. As all the buttons were then active, the call button was also activated in the case (mostly calling my wife on a regular basis!)
Has anyone else seen this?
does it with a samsung D500 mobile as well
i use strong magnets for inspection at work and whenever i am holding it close to my pocket i hear the sound of the slider going up and down (even though it doesnt move in my pocket)
Hi,
I tried it and yes... I have the same behaviour when I hold a magnet near the HTC logo.
Thanks for the replies. I guess people should avoid buying cases with magnetic clips.
neatly solved
i noticed this behaviour on the second day and returned my belt case and got a full refund at t for telecom store. used the phone without protection for 2 months now. today met representative from htc and spoke of this problem. he immediately gave me one of his own leather cases with velcro! great service!
I remember the HTC Wizard also had the same problem as it used magnets for the slideout keyboard as well.
I've also posted this in the Alliance ROM forum, but I'm not sure if it's a ROM-specific bug, so I'll try here too if that's OK.
Small but irritating problem - I have the Samsung flip cover (not the s-view cover), and I suddenly have got the "set s-view window colour" screen when I open it.
It flashes up and disappears quickly, but it's a PITA, and I can't find a way of disabling it.
My boy used the phone yesterday and I think he managed some unusual button press combination.
As always thanks for any advice.
Hi All,
I just got my S5 SM-G900F yesterday. I bought also the S-View original cover.
I face a problem while making or receiving a call. During the call, Some times when I put the phone close to my ear the small screen doesn't go off. but what happens the most is that when I take the phone away from my ear, the small screen keeps off. some times it works but some times it doesn't.
All the rest is working fine.
My SW release
4.4.2
G900FXXU1ANCE
3.4.0- 1182732
Please, does any one face this problem?
Thanks,
any help here?

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.

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 have a problem with my Note 3 I wondered if anyone could help with I have been getting lag and all sorts of other issues and have narrowed it down to the phone constant Lu being polled that it has a flip cover installed open/closed constantly
I put Lineageos 14.1 on and found turning off flip screen completely atopa there being flickering and the small flip screen box being displayed but phone lags somewhat presumably due to the polling anyway.
I have cleaned contacts next to.battery and sometimes ohkme will boot with no issues with flip cover polling but lost often not
I can disable flip screen in 14.1 but it won't to.to sleep as it detects the flip screen polling as activity
Any ideas pleaee ?
Can I disable it completely at OS level ?
Or would shorting the connectors or something work ?
I'm not sure how the signal from the case to ohkme works ? Is it a simple high low bit or more complex ?
Many thanks for any help
