Hi! I had a Redmi Note 3 and currently i am using a Xiaomi Mi 6 with Lineage OS. I use my Mi 6 in combination with a Nillkin Qin flip case for the "Smart Sleep"-function (close the cover for enter the sleep state and vice versa, working with stock and custom rom). It works perfectly and is in my opinion it is super practically. For my mother, I bought a Redmi Note 7 with the same Nillkin Qin and a Sparkle Case for backup. Unfortunately, neither MIUI nor Pixel Experience support this feature. It should work, according to Nillkin/AliExpress.
Does anyone know a suitable case, a custom rom or a trick to make it work? Thanks in advance!
Is it possible that the case has the magnet in the wrong place, so it doesn't trigger the sleep when closing it? Or even better, maybe it has no magnet?
thanks for your answer! hmm, ok maybe this case does not work like my other xiaomi.
does someone use smart sleep with another flip case model? or is it not possible at all?

I don't know what's smart sleep but if you want to switch on/off the screen with the flip cover you can use an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup
thank you, but I don't think my mother likes to wave around with her hand!

With waveup you can do exactly that. When the proximity sensor is covered the display turn off and when is uncovered goes back on. You can do that in settings
nice one! i will try it!
Redmi Note 7, along with many new models, including Note 8, does not seem to support this function, there is no option in its menus like on other models.
I had been using smart cover mode from redmi note 3 onwards that phone gets locked when flip cover closed and wakes up when flip cover opened.
No I bought redmi note 8 pro and my dismay found out that xiaomi discontinued this best feature. Now I have to manually wake up and lock the phone and I get irritated because I was passioned with smart cover mode.
Xiaomi, Xiaomi Please listen the customers request that bring back "Smart Cover Mode" in the next security updation since it was a security feature you taught your customers from long back. Thanks.

Is there any way to disable the magnetic wake feature? I bought a case off Amazon that has a magnet to automatically wake the tablet, and I've noticed that sometimes it'll turn the screen on while closed if the case is touched near the magnet. Since I plan on throwing this case in a backpack, I dont want the screen turning on often while not in use draining the battery. I'm running CM10.1, but I wouldn't mind switching roms if one had this feature.

A short piece of shim steel should do. In the youtube comments the creator says on how to get some / jury rig some.
Found this somewhere in the Nexus 7 forums.

That is the easiest method.
The alternative would be to go into the Android system and edit the way the drivers react to the response of the magnetic sleep / wake feature. This feature is built into the Android OS. The devs have expressed this can be quite dangerous and can produce unpredictable results especially if you aren't interested in debugging the issue.
I don't have the link anymore but you can definitely find it in the Nexus 7 Accessories forum where someone asked this same exact question.
I have a Nexus 7 3g which I recently got it from Canada and ordered a flip case which had the auto sleep/wake function. However the auto sleep isn't working with the flip case. Can anyone please tell me, if the Nexus 7 3g has the capability of the auto sleep/wake function?? If yes how can I check that on the Nexus 7 or on the flip case (incase the flip case isn't working as it is supposed to). Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Yes it does, you should be able to do it with a magnet not sure where the sensor is though

its going to be hard to test the auto sleep/on function without another case or so.
they work by using magnets and well, i wouldnt really put a magnet near the device...
but yes, the N7 does have the auto function, so if i had to guess which one isnt working i would say that your case might be defective
the physical home button was something I did not think would bother me but it is a major design flaw. When putting the device in a case and closing the cover while in sleep mode the cover presses the home button taking a tablet out of sleep mode. so as I carry the tablet the screen turns off and on. this is with a case that uses the four corner tab design. Hopefully, a different case design will solve the issue.
This is the only issue I have had but it is driving me nuts.
hopefully with root we'll be able to disable that. why they chose not to recess the button is beyond me.
I wonder if a case that activates auto screen off and on blocks that from happening.
Does anyone have a case with that built in that could let us know.

Thanks for the info...There are two sides to this coin. It could be a design flaw that the case accidentally clicks the home button. Isn't it their responsibility to design the case properly?
Note 8 has the same button design, I have it since the release date with Samsung's book cover, it hasn't been a problem. Waiting for a similar case for 10.1.
Hi All,
Did anyone purchase a case with the auto sleep function? It does not seem to work on mine even though advertised.. Does it actually work the with Tab 4?
Thanks.
I've tried running a magnet over it, and can't seem to find the supposed magnetic sensor anywhere.
Oh really? I wonder how safe is it to have magnets close to the screen... I hope no damage is done...
I got a cheap flip case on ebay and it is a smart case. For the price the quality is quite good. The magnet is about 1" from the left edge ON the screen. It has magnets to keep the cover closed also and it can be used as a stand.

I have a case (generic one from Amazon) and the auto-sleep (and auto-awake) functions work well.
I can't find the sensor on my 7. Does it have one?
I bought the Pellem case and it works well

For an 8 right? Not a seven

Sorry everyone for the confussion.... Turns out the case I got from eBay was defective... I was able to get one that actually had the auto sleep function working...
I bought the official Samsung Book Cover Case for my Galaxy Tab 4 7". It does have magnets in it to support the wedge/propped up mode. The box even indicated the auto sleep/wake functionality. But it never did work.
I don't know about the 7 as I have an 8 but there is a check box under settings>general>accessories for the flip cover. On my tab if I put a magnet 1" from the top left ON the screen it shuts off. Hope this helps.
I have the screen auto off function set to 30 seconds but it will randomly turn off within seconds of my last touch. If I just set the tablet down and don't touch it, the screen will stay on for 30 seconds before turning off. What could be causing this? BTW, the screen turned off about three seconds after typing that last sentence. I have the US WiFi only version.
Interesting, I have that version and haven't had that problem yet. Do you have a case that it's in? I believe it has some sort of magnetic switch or something because when I close the case it will sleep. So what I'm getting at is if there is something tripping that. Also, try setting the display off to something real long (60 secs or something) reboot and try that then reset to 30. Just a couple shots in the dark but maybe we can eliminate a few things.

Good point, I do have it in a smart case that has the sleep/wake function. I'll try folding the back cover so the magnet is in a different position.
Yep, it is the smart case. I can cause it to turn off and back on just by moving the front cover when it's folded flat behind the tablet and doesn't happen when I don't have the cover flat behind the tablet.
Great news, glad I was able to help.

I got an awesome case a day after I picked up this tablet and I am glad I found this thread. Same problem, how annoying! Guess I will be looking for an alternative.
I have the Huawei (gastly) brown case and have not had this issue. However, I also have another no name brand from Amazon and did suffer the problem with that one.
Yes, exactly the same problem with a case I have . It only happens in portrait mode. How do I disable this magnetic nonsense? Thanks
