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.
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
I have a very strong magnetic phone mount in my truck. It's tricking my phone into thinking that it has a quick cover case on it. The screen randomly goes black and shows the enlarged version of the time and stuff you see on the lock screen.
Anyone know if there's a setting to disable this? Or maybe something to freeze in Titanium Backup?
I'm also trying to solve the same problem. I hope there is some app or software that could expose the setting for whether to ignore the magnetic sensor that is used to trigger/detect the cover case.
I believe that LG says the magnet sensor is *NOT* something you are supposed to be able to disable. But, they said the same thing about knock-on/knock-off, yet we found out we could find the hidden setting to disable that. If it worked for knock-on/knock-off, then I hold out hope that there is a similar approach to solve this problem with the magnet sensor.
I recall long ago there was software called QuickShortcutMaker that could be used for the knock-on/knock-off and many other settings, have you tried that?
Has anyone dug into the hidden settings for the phone, to find a way to adjust a setting to allow the phone to ignore the magnet sensor (which defaults always on and is used to detect whether you are using a flip cover)?
LG intends that the magnet sensor setting be inaccessible so that you can never disable the magnet sensor. But LG said the same thing about the knock-on/knock-off setting, which lo and behold really can be exposed using something like the app called "QuickShortcutMaker" to disable that supposedly inaccessible setting.
So, is someone aware of a tool or other similar approach to adjust a "hidden" setting for the magnet sensor? At least, I assume the hidden setting exists somehow by analogizing to the knock sensor, I don't know for sure that the magnet sensor is similar, but it would make logical sense...
Hello guys,
I have bought the new Galaxy Tab A 2019 (SM-T510) with a tablet protection including a magnetic cover. But it seems that this tablet has no sensor to manage the on/off screen when opening or closing the cover... I have tried some apps like Easy Smart Cover and Smart Screen On/Off but none of them works... do you have any solution ? maybe you know a solution ? maybe an app which uses the front camera as sensor ?
Any news here?
