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

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.
Hey guys, this is extremely bothering. I have an xqisit folio case that also doubles as a stand. Anyways, when I open the case, the screen lights up, and if I open it just ever so slightly, I notice there's this view mode that displays time and battery, the information that shows through the s view cover.
Anyways, I don't own a s view cover nor do I want one. I also don't want the screen to light up when I open the case because that means the screen's not completely off/phone's not completely resting and uses up more battery.
How the hell can I disable this? I've googled and found nothing and also gone through the settings but found nothing there as well.

well i suppose your folio case uses also the magnetic sensor used by the s-view cover to turn the screen on and off.
as this switch was primary implemented for the s-view cover its the default behaviour to show the s-view screen when you close your cover.
afaik there is no mod to change it right now but i hope this "s-view mode" will be customizable in future with the help of our fantastic community devs! :fingers-crossed:
anyway dont worry about the battery consumption too much as the s-view screen is only displayed for about 5 seconds and then the screen turns completely off.

Thanks a lot! Out of thanks for the moment so can't thank you.
I have S view cover.
When the screen is unlocked and you close the cover, it will show the time. If u open it a little, it will still show time. But if you open it till roughly more than 30 degrees, it will either show the lockscreen(for those with passcode/pin etc.) or homescreen(for those with no lock).
When screen is off and you close the cover, it will not show anything. Open the cover alittle, maybe around 20degrees, it will still not show anything.
Hey Guys. Recently I have started to have an issue with my screen rotation failing to move into landscape and my auto brightness staying dim. It didn't seem to coincide with any software updates which was a bit confusing.
So I cracked on by pulling the back cover and battery and instantly spot a collection of metal filings in a circle directly above the camera sitting on the case. After a clean with an alcoholic wipe, stuck it back together and all was well again.
Just thought I would leave this here just in case anyone else runs into a similar issue :good:
After observation for certain period, i experience that whenever i make calls using skype, viber or hangouts and close the s-view cover while talking, the call dropped after 30 seconds or a minute (the call didn't cut off as soon as the cover is closed). It both happened in mobile network as well as wifi connection. But it didnt happen if the cover is open ( screen may turn off by itself or keep it on depending on the application). So is it bcoz of the nature of s-view cover or greenify making phone into deep sleep after the cover closed? Or is it better to contact Samsung technical suport team about the cover? Where and how can I ask the Questions?
Is there any way how to work around to overcome this problem?
I have rooted 4.4.2 official rom.
I would be so much thankful to you if you could suggest me a fix.
Hi All!
I had recently bought my mother an S4 i9506, and recently she has switched to a flip cover (with a magnet - what I think to have caused the problem)
Now what happens is if anyone's finger or any object for that matter covers any one of the two sensors next to the earpiece (the 2 that are directly next to each other with the right one of bigger size) the screen turns black until the object is taken away.
[EDIT] its the proximity/gesture sensor
Now this is really annoying and internet searching has turned up nothing of use to me, So any help is welcome.
It just renders the phone useless practically as the sensor seems super sensitive and I have no Idea of how to at least switch it off.
Thanks in advance
