I just bought a case off amazon and realized that it doesn't have the auto screen off effects of smart cases. Does any know how to make it so the cover that lay over the screen turn on/off the screen when the case is closed ? I did try running the magnet along the edge of the screen but that doesn't seem to turn off the screen.

Try a stronger magnet.
I bought a cheap Quick window case(duplicate) from Ebay.in and I am afraid it is having some strange issues.When I flip open the cover and place the flip to the back suddenly the phone goes into quick window mode.I am afraid the case has a powerful magnet.
So buyers beware.
Does anyone know a solution to the Nexus switch off the magnetic sensor?
I have in the car a magnetic holder or 2 to hold the tablet, but the problem is that is a holder exactly where the is magnetic sensor of Nexus and it therefore puts in sleep mode and can no longer be unlock long as the magnet is there ....
It says in the manual that there is a "Hall sensor" hidden somewhere on the screen which allows the screen to be turned on/off when the case is opened/closed. I have a Noreve case which doesn't seem to have this functionality. Does anyone know what the Huawei case has inside it to make this happen, and where exactly it is? Is it a magnet or something else? I've tried moving a magnet everywhere on the screen but I wasn't able to trigger anything.
If possible, I'd like to modify my Noreve case to support his, but I have no idea how the original Huawei case does it.
Also, is there a setting which needs to be enabled for this to work? I have "smart cover" enabled, but I also tried my magnet attempts with it disabled.
From the manual:
"When you use the protective flip cover designed for the M3, the Hall sensor enables your screen to turn on automatically when you open the cover and to turn off when you close it."
"M3 has many useful features which can be used easily. As you open the M3 protective flip cover, the screen turns on. As you close it, the screen turns off."

Make sure Smart Cover is turned on in Smart Assistance settings.
I found it, just a bit up and left from the fingerprint sensor. Not all magnets work, and the pole matters, it only works in one orientation. I also had to put a metal plate on the other side of the magnet so it wouldn't lock it when the case is flipped open and against the back of the tablet.
This is now a perfect replacement for my broken galaxy Tab S!
I have the official Huawei case and I think there are two sensors as on the case there is a plate / magnet (visible under case) to the left and up a bit from the finger print sensor and a second one half way on the right hand edge. I'll try to post a photo tomorrow which will make a much better job than my description
Hey guys,
I recently bought a 2019 galaxy tab A 8.0" with S-Pen.
It's working amazing, especially with the S-Pen.
But I have a little question, does the tablet have a magnetic sleep sensor to use smart flip cover to put the device in sleep mode?
I bought a cover that was supposed to have it. The cover itself is nice, but it doesn't trigger it the screen on/off at all.
So I'm wondering if the device even has the sensor, since I can't find any option anywhere either.
After some info I just found, this function should work with proximity sensor?
I checked, the tab does have a proximity sensor in the top, but I can't find the option anywhere.
And putting my finger on the proximity sensor doesn't seem to do anything.
Edit: seems like the tablet doesn't have proximity sensor, but only light sensor...
So impossible to get a sleep/wake up cover.
That's lame.
