hey, I'm on Lineage 14.1.. I own the official xiaomi smart cover for Redmi Note 4 and it seems that it is unsupported on Lineage... (UPDATE - unsupported on all custom ROMs)
third party apps on play store use proximity sensor to enable support for the covers which is really bad.. the only app that uses the hall sensor (Hall Monitor on F-Droid) doesn't work on this ROM... i have lineage rooted..
can anyone suggest me a ROM where Hall Monitor works? or some other app or something (except MIUI) that supports magnet based smart covers..
__________________________________________________
Update: finally I have found the issue.. all apps that are claiming to use magnetic smart cover are using the magnetometer sensor that's attached on the motherboard on the top portion of the phone.. The smart cover has the magnet at bottom-middle... so the apps aren't working..
The hall sensor (BU52061NVX ROHM_HALL_EFFECT) lies in the bottom middle below the home button which was used to implement the smart cover in MIUI...
I have asked the dev to add built in support for lock/unlock feature in the appropriate thread..
__________________________________________________
IF ANYONE WANTS TO IMPLEMENT IT
Update 2 - I thought the hall sensor would be like the geomagnetic sensor but it is not. It is a switch with two states.
The default behaviour when smart cover option is checked in settings is -
1) Magnet closed - Lock the screen
2) Magnet removed - Wake the screen up
PS - i will be more than happy if someone can implement the lock/unlock.. the window for accepting/rejecting calls isn't really important for me..
I buy also a smart cover for note4 Sd but i doenst work on stock (7.2.16 - 7.3.16). Did it work by you with stock miui?

If you are talking about this one - http://m(dot)buy(dot)mi(dot)com/in/item/3164700002
yes it works on stock MIUI... go to settings > lock screen > smart cover > windowed smart cover (NOT lattice smart cover).. and it will work
Thanx, my settings are ok but it dont work, i have THIS one. I can see the magnet in the case (its in high of the home button).

Using the app Sensoroid, I can see that it is the LTR579 ALSPS sensor. It appears 2 times in the app, but it works with both.
Now one would have to listen to that sensor to lock the device on close of the cover. For open, it would be less important, because you can wake the device with the fingerprint sensor.
I also tried the app "Automaton", but it cannot use that sensor. However, even if it could, it locks the device with Administrator rights. That means, that unlocking with fingerprint does not work.
So, that is 2 challenges here.
smart cover lock not working in redmi 5a can anyone help
Hi I have a same problem at Xiaomi MI5s and case is NILKIN.
However, I have just identified the cause of the problem.
It was due to the dropout of the magnet chip inside the flap of NILKIN.
To identify the problem, please use other flap case.
Chao.
I've got the same problem.
It seems like the developpers don't like smart cases for this phone. THey like to use it without it, other wise I don't understand why nobody is building an option for smart case.
I think nobody should like smart covers with a magnet as they seize from function magnetic field sensor which is much more important.
A hall sensor is a nice mechanical switch which needs no supply but unfortunately it needs magnetic field to operate.
Proximity sensor should do the job fine, the drawback is it will drain some current and it should be a second one placed in other place
In my opinion a nice smart cover should somehow generate an instant magnetic field at open/close - N. Tesla should help here - [dynam cover]
If we could concentrate the field to the hall sw it will be the best.

O fi asa cum spui tu, insa cei de la MIUI te contrazic. Ei au o optiune in rom-ul lor pentru tipul acesta de smartcase si functioneaza perfect, doar ca mie nu-mi place MIUI.

Maybe we only need the proximity sensor, but someone should make an option for this phone to display the caller ID without the need to open the smartcase. With my smartcase I can answer the call without open it.
This is my smartcase: https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/-/32837488639.html?spm=a2g0v.search0104.3.1.2910be9cQRM7iA&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0%2Csearchweb201602_5_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10342_10325_10343_10546_10340_10548_10341_10696_10084_5722520_10083_5711520_10618_10304_10307_10820_10059_5722620_5722920_5722720_5722820_100031_5711420_10103_10624_10623_10622_10621_10620_10125%2Csearchweb201603_25%2CppcSwitch_7&algo_expid=2249fdd6-697e-4136-be56-ad6aeb775681-0&algo_pvid=2249fdd6-697e-4136-be56-ad6aeb775681&transAbTest=ae803_1&priceBeautifyAB=0
It's nice your case i knew it, bottom window open. I've come to the conclusion that i need one free of magnets, if needed stick the magnet exactly the place i need, alongside magnetron or hall sw depending the app i use.
I think this i like - https://www.honorbuy.com/948-redmi-...-note-4-global-version-flip-leather-case.html
PS am obs ca au optiunea aia, inca nu am smartu' dar comanda e facuta, cred ca mai greu e sa'i gasesc o husa. La cea anterioara am croit la ea pana i'am scos magnetii dar intre timp m'am lasat de croitorie.
I have installed yet the App Easy Smart Cover....it works. But i would really really love it to havew it in the Rom and not use an app with advertisings and so on ... I hope so it is possible and that it comes in near future

Something seems to be wrong with my proximity sensor as well..it worked before but since .13 (now on .15 and still not working)..It was working back when I was on .11.1 though.
I know this because I was trying out apps like Smart Screen Pro etc. which turn off the screen when the sensor is covered and all.
Now apps like those don't work for me anymore...and I got AndroSensor to check on my device sensors and the Proximity Sensor sometimes says failed to start, while other times it says "Waiting for event" either way, it never works now
Any help with this?
On my SGS, I had a problem with accelerometer before and I just had to delete a file and let the system recreate it and the problem was fixed. Perhaps something similar can be done with the proximity sensor since it's kinda similar to the accelerometer in the sense that well..they're both sensors of some sort lol
While it actually has a chip that supports the proximity sensor (and thus reports having one), the chip is only used for the ambient light sensor. It doesn't have a proximity sensor.

Ohhh thanks for the info! I soon realized this as well when I was looking through the apps I was testing out before.. Turns out they were using light sensor and not proximity. D'oh!
Oh well, a proximity sensor on a big tablet doesn't make much sense come to think of it.
Ya it does light sensors use more energy than proximity sensors and control via cover state is quite desirable

The Prime has a cover state sensor, its magnetic just like that other tablet it is close to the webcam. It is used by the dock to turn off the screen when you close it.
Why no other covers are using it... I have no idea.

There are some reports that the magnetic sensor only works when the dock is connected. If thats true then one would have to find a way to trick the tablet into turning on the mag sensor manually before it would be any use.
There were some people wanting to use tasker to check the status of the mag sensor for various reasons, detect if its in a case, etc. but they had minimal luck.

Hrm. No.
I have tested this already myself, going to mod my leather case to allow a small magnet on it so the screen turns off when i close it.
The right spot is tricky to find, but it is there, it works and the dock does not have to be connected for it to work.
You can try it yourself, get one of those weak magnets from the freezer and put it around the frontal camera until the screen turns off. Just remember to deactivate the auto-off timer first
Nope. It does not have one.

Can you post a pic with the EXACT placement if this sensor, if it exists?
I have rubbed a magnet over every inch of my Prime and the screen never turns off because of it. With regards to the dock it makes much more sense that a mechanical switch would dictate when the screen turns off, since this would be more reliable and since the dock hinge can function like a switch, and the dock plugs directly into the tablet usurping certain tablet functions so it wold be easy to make the dock take over the function of the power button in certain conditions.

It makes absolute no sense to use an ambient light sensor to turn off a screen. Going from a room or a place with a bit of light into a dark room would turn the screen off.
There are 2 holes on the top of the prime bezel. One is the frontal camera, the other the light sensor. The magnet is not there.
If you are facing your Prime it is to the right and a bit down of your frontal camera.
The manget is in the dock right off the track pad.
You can get the exact location with a paper clip. it will stick there.
So, here is the video...
Sadly like other user noticed, it does not work without the dock Probably happened after one of the updates, cause it was working without dock before.
I found the spot myself.
On my BBOK Transformer Prime, the magnetic sensor is just to the right of the camera, but about one inch down into the screen area. If you play with with the keyboard using a magnet you can find a magnet under the right end of the spacebar.
Unfortunately I can confirm that the tablet won't turn off in this way without the keyboard dock connected.
Hello,it seems there is no Q&A forum for this device, so here is my doubt:
Although the tech manual for the xperia S from the sony website report a proximity sensor, I fail to find one on my phone.
There seems to be a black oval spot on the glass next to the light sensor as if some sort of sticker can be removed to install the sensor.
The light sensor seems to work, since I've seen the screen go darker and brighter, but when I'm in a call and put the phone in my ear the screen wont shut off like in my old SGS nor will it turn on when I move the phone away from my face.
are your phones like mine? or is mine a defective unit?
I guess ur device has something wrong with it.
By the way; did u place a screen protector?? Coz if u did that may be the problem!
I think the light and proximity sensor are the same.
There is something wrong with your phone,maybe you should try to flash a new firmware.

Hi,
Mine works fine...
Do this:
1>Go to dialpad and type *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*)
2>A menu pops up in that u will see service tests select that
3>Then scroll down and select Proximity Switch
4>Initially it will display as OFF. Now u place your finger or hand on the Proximity Sensor, then the value of Proximity Switch on the screen will change to ON.
If this is working then the sensor is just fine u need to update the firmware else u need to go and replace the piece IMO though.
Thank you all for the feedback.
I used the service menu to check the sensors ...
indeed the proximity sensor is always off, even when I put my finger on it, it seems someone forgot to remove the black paint from behind the glass, but I will update it anyway to make sure before returning it.

sensor is IR, so darkened window is normal for it. but if it have always closed windows - than its status must be always ON. so, most likely you have faulty sensor (or bug in firmware)

If it was covered by the glass/ cover it would show OFF because the glass doesn't radiate heat like your body does.

Proximity sensor on phones does not react to heat. It have simple IR transmitter, which emits a beam, and IR sensor, which react on reflected beam.

You are right, just tested it and it seems to be a reflective sensor.
thanks for the tips, it was indeed a faulty sensor and they gave me a new phone right away .
I hope I don't get any more problems like a yellow tint :X (knock on wood with fingers crossed)
I had a bunch of requests for Wave Control to have this functionality. I thought it best to do a dedicated app so here it is!
Flip Case Control was designed to work with Samsung's Flip Case on the I9300 while using as little battery as possible. (I left it running all night ~8.5 hours and the battery dipped 1% more than usual)
IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor doesn't read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)
Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM won't work well.
Here's a demo video:
Play Store Links:
24 Hour Trial Version
Full Version
Could you guys with the Flip Case test it out?
All feedback is appreciated greatly!
I would like to try it for you but unfortunately i don't have flipping cover for this lovely device as it is not here yet everyday im searching everywhere but nothing

There shouldn't be but it is conceivable that if the case surface facing the proximity sensor is black and absorbs too much of the IR from the LED on the prox sensor then it wouldn't register a near reading.
The proximity sensor is an IR LED and light sensor. It detects distance by the amount of IR light that get reflected back off the surface in front of the sensor.
If this is the case, you could try to put a piece a light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor.
Let me know if this works. What's brand of your case?

It works OK at the moment, I think the sensitivity should be decreased though as something passing an inch or two above the proximity sensor will still turn off the screen. Seeing as flip covers get up close and personal with the proximity sensor this seems a bit too sensitive.
EDIT: Definitely too sensitive, seems to turn off at random at times. Just had a phase where it wouldn't let me keep the screen on.
Maybe a failsafe of sorts could be implemented? Leave the screen on until timeout/power button press if turned on by the power button?
Edit 2: I uninstalled the app to stop it turning the screen off constantly, but it continued even after a reboot, I went into the display settings and saw the screen timeout had been changed to "()"and this was causing the issue, as soon as I changed it back to 30 seconds it was fine. Is this supposed to happen?

Proximity Autolock is a nice app with some excellent features but uses too much battery on The Note 1, an additional 8% overnight. And it doesn't work well on my Note 2.
The app works well. I bought it
It's a very useful feature that Samsung should have built in, but hey, I don't mind supporting you.

I agree Samsung should have made this app. When I first showed it to a friend, he said "Isn't it already supposed to do that?"
A Beta
Here's what I'm playing with right now.
It should hopefully fix the bug D3_ ran into as well as reduce the false triggers. There will still be some due to sensor placement but this should make it much less sensitive. Also response time to turn on the screen should be a little bit faster. It's working well on my I9300, hopefully it should be the same on the Note II.
Let me know if this is performing better for you guys.
Still coming:
Disable in Landscape Mode
Disable when plugged in
[Edit: Removed Old Beta]
Just installed the beta, will report back after some use of it.

Just uploaded version 1.05 to the Play Store
Changes:
Reduced false triggers for screen off
Changed button UI

Cant you just do this using Tasker? I already spent money on the flip cover, so kinda hesitant to spend more for this functionality (which should be there in the first place!)
I am coming this phone from Huawei P9 that has got Hall Sensor so i am looking for my habits....
I used active flip cover case and my calling screen was different when my phones cover opened and closed on Huawei P9 and i can lock my phone with open and close covers front part.
But i learned that, Redmi Note 8 hasnt got hall sensor and i am having some difficulties...
There is some cover accessories on some shopping websites that look like doing hall sensors job (i think they uses proxymity sensor instead of hall sensor) with an app...
Can they work with those programs with using proxymity sensor with covers instead of hall sensor? (i know they are different but may be act like each other)
Sorry for my bad English but i hope i can describe what i mean...
If I read the spec on different websites, there is written that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus (5G Version) should include a proximity sensor.
Now I owned a Flip cover and I would expect, that the screen goes on/off if I open /close the cover. Nothing at all.
After check the proximity sensor via app, it looks not as a valid or defect sensor .My device is not rooted till moment.
Does I've a problem or is there really no proximity sensor anymore included?
I own a tab s7. And it certainly has a proximity sensor. It wakes or sleep with my official keyboard case. Just verify if your flip case supports it or is magnetic.
S7 and S7 plus (5G) contains different Hardware.... starting with the Display, Fingerprint sensor ....
The plus non 5g uses magnetic sleep wake not a proxy sensor. That is how mine works.

I have no problem in screen waking on open/close of the cover (official cover). AFAIK, this feature doesn't work based on the proximity sensor. It uses the magnetic field.
Now we have 2 answer
NFC and Magnetic.
NFC I can believe, magnetic with the T976 (7plus 5 G) looks like, that it doesn't work
