So, I got a new S-View case today (Spigen Slim Armor View) and found out that when I closed the window completely, the s-view functions didn't work. But, when I had it partially open, it did work. Was wondering if anybody has had this issue before, or if anybody knew a possible fix. Thanks!

Hey guys!
first of all I did a search in all sub-forums and honestly it didn't help. so I'm asking here
I tried to find an original quickwindow cover in my city, but no success. so I went for a replica
It's working fine, but has a really annoying problem. when I flip the cover and fold it to the back of the phone (which is kinda necessary to use it with one hand). this leads to quickwindow widgets enabled and screen become useless.
I'm using Cloudyflex rom. I need to know if this is normal? or it's because of higher than standard magnet in this fake cover that make the sensor activated even from back! or perhaps rom related (which I doubted, based on my search)
thanks in advance

Hey,
I think is your case,
it's work perfect with Cloudyflex or CloudyPro !
So my mom's note 3 got the update, and she called me saying that her alarms no longer show up in the s-view window on her phone. Is this a known issue, and does anyone have any idea what could fix it? I'm gonna tell her to take the cover off the phone, reboot it, and then put it back on. Maybe it needs to "reknow" that it's on the phone?
Also, this is the official s-view cover. It's not third-party.
Edit: Apparently that fixed it lol. Well, if anyone comes up with the issue now you know what to do.
I have this case that somehow, when opened, turns the screen on automatically.
This is the case: STILGUT - ULTRASLIM CASE MADE FROM LEATHER FOR LG G2 (sorry, can't post links, new user restriction, Google it)
I thought it was an LG G2 feature but then I bought another cheaper case and with the new case the screen doesn't turn on and off automatically when the case is opened or closed.
I don't understand what it could be - how does this case work?
There's a small magnet on the inside of the flap of the case, this activates a sensor in the phone to shut the screen off when closed

Really? That's awesome.
I find it weird that I couldn't find this specification on their website. It was a huge surprise when I started using it and never knew why, and it was also a huge disappointment when the new one didn't work the same. Damn.
Anyone knows of any other cases that can do this? I think this feature is very, very helpful and again, like I said, I find it odd it's not one of the key selling points of the case on their website.
Hey guys, I've been trying for a while now, and have only found dead ends.
I purchased a Spigen Slim Armor View for my new S5, not realizing that their functionality had been changed since the S4.
Having easily realized that all the 3rd party apps I can find for "fake" S-views are god-awful. I started looking for a solution to bypass the check for an S-view chip, and force S-view mode on bootup. My phone is rooted, and I do have xposed frameworks, but every mod I try just doesn't work. Does anyone have any solutions? I'd rather not have to settle for the awful apps, or have to buy an authentic case/chip to physically mod my case.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated guys!
Tried a couple more scripts and kernels last night... Still no luck.
I'm hoping someone here has a solution!
Sort of in the same situation
I just bought the IC chip from aliexpress, 5$ for 2 and got a screen protector
After installing and inserting a small magnet from the headphones on the lower left of the spigen s-view case, the phone now recognizes this and forces the phone to show the s-view display
the only issue i have now is that the view in the spigen is smaller than the offical samsung s-view case, hence the camera and answering a call is cut off
is there anyway to mod the s-view window on the phone to make it smaller?
more and more often my wife's S4 will turn into a black screen with the time at the top of screen...this will happen at random times she says, checking texts or looking at gallery pic's.
she has a generic phone case with a magnet to close the full cover (not a windowed cover.) BUT, like me, she leaves this full cover open (bent backwards and the magnet holds it that way) ALL of the time. i'm thinking the phone decides to go into Sview mode or something?? is there a way i can turn this feature off, or fix this problem another way??
BTW, she is running Android 4.4.4
thanks for any insight! --- art
bump?
Seems like you should be able to turn it off somehow. However, it might be a software issue in the case a data factory reset should fix it. If it's a hardware issue then I would take it to my provider or Best Buy to look at it.
i removed the case yesterday and it hasn't happened ... yet! hopefully that fixed it. thanks for the reply Stoney!
