I always put my x1 in a bag with case which cover has no magnetic snapon; so the cover always open and close by itself inside my bag. That will automatically wake up my x1 several times in my bag.
How can I disable the auto wakeup?
Simply turn off "display cover" mode.
Settings / display /
Thanks.
Mine don't have the Display Cover mode, but have only Window Cover mode which I believe it is what you mean.
I already made it off. It is just for not displaying the mini display through a front cover having a small window. My X1 display still auto on and off when opening and closing the cover.

Sorry, you are right.
Can't find the place where to deactivate the proximity sensor.

Hi, here how i did it, you will find a magnetic on the right of earpiece on the cover, it trigger the screen, just cut it out
Thanks. That's a bit extreme for me.
Will put it in a rather tight pouch before putting it in my bag.

Hi,
Cant remember where I read that the sony case itself as well as several non-sony ones would support smart cover (when you flip open, the screen comes on without you touching it) and smart sleep (goes to sleep when you close the cover). Sort of like a ipad function. I have the sony original case for tablet z and I cant the 2 features to work.
any ideas? thanks

i've this one and works perfect for me with the smart sleep function. It's great quality.
I know the Sony official case woleeps/wakes fine out of the box with no changes needed to settings. I returned it to frys though because it wasn't worth $90 with tax in my opinion.

Yeah I think it is supposed to have those features, sounds like a faulty case to me. I was thinking about getting this case, but decided to save some money and just got a sleeve that also turns into a stand. Would be more practical for me anyway, I don't like cases.

I just tested the smart functionality using my Sony case (the red one). It works as far as I can tell: It wakes the screen when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when the cover is shut.
It's an elegant cover. But I agree that it's too expensive for what it is. I use it on my commute to work. I've read complaints that it's too bulky. It does not seem so to me, and it's pretty easy to take the XTZ out of the case when I get to my office.
Disable function
Is there a way to disable this function? Thanks
Out of curiosity, how does it work at all? Is it simply working through the light sensor, i.e. when its covered and pitchdark it assumes cover closed and goes to sleep, once ambient light reaches it it wakes up?
Or is it more elaborate than that?

There is a reed switch about an inch left of the front camera. A magnet will activate the switch and cause the tablet to enter Sleep Mode. Removing the magnet will cause the tablet to wake. Many tablet cases have a magnet in their front cover.
@hyann I'm using the Poetic case for my XTZ and the smart wake/lock function works great. It isn't bulky or heavy either and the best part is that you can get it for under $20 USD. It's a well designed case and protects the device really well. Basically the tablet is placed into the matte finished plastic case that's connected to the leather binding.

Received the Baseus S View flip cover last Friday. And its good but I have started having problems. When you flip the cover closed sometimes the s-view functions will not work at all. Could someone tell me why that is?
because its an imitation of the original so its supposed to not work more well than the ori??
I have one of these too and find it is working very well. Is the cover closing completely? If the magnet isn't engaging it won't trigger the s-view. My cover arrived where it didn't close very well so I used a hair dryer to gently heat it up and stretch it a little so it would close better. I took the phone out when I did it.

It's a bit strange. Because sometimes when you flip the case closed the s-view functions work and then some other times it doesn't work. Very annoying, How should I check the magnet?
I would find a magnet and touch the lower left of the phone. If it always switches to s-view then its the cover. If it doesn't consistently switch then its the phone.

Just got the wallet case, and I'd like the display to go off when I close the lid and turn on when opening the lid. There's magnet holding the lid shut. Any ideas? Tried looking into prefs, but nothing...
Doh, iZound, not Zedge.

Try the gravity screen app. It will turn off and on the screen via proximity sensor and has other options to play around with. Works on stock and AOSP.
How does "auto on" work when I open my cover?
I have some cover here but when I open it S3 doesn't wake up.
Not everyone cover does function but what does it depend on?
There has to be a magnet embedded in the cover in a certain spot.

I have the original tab s3 keyboard cover and it doesn't wake the tablet as well.

I've tried 3 aftermarket covers and they all wake the tablet when I open it. Unfortunately I did not get the keyboard cover. (Too expensive here in the US)

I have this on from amazon:

There is also a small magnet in the front cover but how shoul it work.? Maybe some bug in samsung software?
I think the ambient light sensor manages the auto on function.

I'm pretty sure it's the magnet. It works in the total darkness for me, and manually covering/uncovering the ambient light sensor does not wake the tablet.

There is a sensor in the top left corner of the tablet (when in portrait mode). You can try it using a small magnet.

Now I found in each corner magnets.
But using a small magnet even with two pieces on both sides simultaneously tablet still wont wake up...
But something I must do wrong: my old Galaxy Tab S works without problems but for testing I can not bring it with my magnets for wake up...
Try a different cover/case. It must be a "smart" cover made specificaly for the Tab S3. If it is not a "smart" cover, the automatic screen on/off function will not work. Also, Samsung's keyboard cover/case does not include the neccessary magnet so you have to use the power button; their regular (non-keyboard) cover has the magnet and works perfectly
the samsung OEM official keyboard cover does have sort of "auto sleep/wake" function.
HOWEVER, IT WORKS AS FOLLOWS: tablet turns on when connected to pogo pins on keyboard......tablet turns off when disconnected from pogo pins.....
confirmed on my model this evening.
check the following:
go to settings > system > accessories.......then turn "on" automatic unlock.
The seller of this case claims it doesn't have wakelock magnets but it does... dont bother

It's been a while since I've posted on XDA... Found this ROXFIT PRO TOUCH case.... Premium Quality... I just checked the link and it's currently out of stock... Keep checking and get this case! You'll love it!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XD52Z7G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ROXFIT Cover is back on Amazon with limited stock, hurry and order yours. I have to be honest tho, you'll love the look but it'll take ya a couple of weeks to get use to the case but I promise once you get use to the case, you'll love it! Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
Bought this case 2 weeks ago. Very good build quality. The semi-transparent, touch sensitive cover doubles up as a brilliant privacy filter/anti glare filter. When viewing messages or other text through the cover, you can only see what it says if your face is within 2-3 feet of the screen and *directly* in front of it. Any other angle or distance and it's super blurry. It's also very good if you need to view a notification or the time late at night during sleep hours, as it doesn't emit a glare.
Downside is that the proximity sensor doesn't always detect the cover because of the semi transparency, and as a result sometimes the screen is still on during a phonecall and buttons can be pushed accidentally. I have already gotten comfortable with this though and with unnoticed adjustment I now no longer have any issues with this particular problem.
One last thing, the plastic on the back is a fingerprint magnet. If you pride in your phones current shimmer/shineyness, this case quickly turns it into an intrinsic artwork of pinky marks.
Seems fragile
I just recived mine and I am very disapointed about the quality, I want to be optimistic, but I fear the front "semi-transparent" part will be very fragile (as in the HTC dot view of the One M9).
So does anyone who had it for a longer time could reassure me on the quality of the product, or tell me right away if it's of poor quality ?
Thank you for your answers :good:
PS : is it dangerous to turn the front part all the way to the back ? will it tear the plastic junction down or is it possible ?

Can we set the phone to do different things when opening the flap ? Like on the official case for the xz? and what about the automatic brightness? does the sensor turn the brightness down when you close the flap?

yes kinda
So, is there any kind of feature that keeps the transparent flap closed (as opposed to letting it flap around freely)? The huge problem with the official XZ style cover was that the flap was flapping freely. If one kept the phone magnetically attached to car's dashboard, the flap would constantly flap open and closed as the car accelerated and decelerated. That effectively made that cover unusable. Is this problem fixed in Roxfit cover?
