Washing my car I threw my phone on the dash, it was in the sun facedown for about 20min, doors open... Since then the auto rotate doesn't want to turn off, even though its off in the settings, ontop of that it thinks bottom is left when upright...ive cycled auto rotate and power, no luck.. Any ideas?
Did you reboot it?
I've done everything but wipe the phone. Think its a hardware issue, but the g-sensor works fine..
Now when I charge the lockscreen goes horizontal, auto rotate is still off...
Help plz..
are you using a specific app for it or is it a setting in a custom ROM?
normally when you place a lid over a phone the screen goes off and it locks soon after (proximity sensor?) but mine doesn't seem to be doing it.
am i missing something or does it just not do it?
It doesn't do it by default unless you are in a call.
There are lots of apps on the market which do it though (at some cost to battery life as it keeps the proximity scanner running).
Just search for "screen off proximity android" and you get a heap of them.
Some are free like this one -https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyarmy.sensornearcover&hl=en
ah, cheers.
I found that a lot of the time, when I take my phone out of my pocket and open the flip cover, double tap to wake doesn't work.
I played around with this a lot and I've figured out that if I wait a few seconds after flipping back the cover, double tap works.
If I leave the phone out on my desk with the flip cover open, double tap always works.
So the problem seems to be that the flip cover of my case is blocking the sensor (proximity?) on the face of the phone. I guess that sensor needs a few seconds of light before it wakes up and recognizes the double tap to wake.
My question is - how can I change this? I'd like the sensor to stay awake all the time so that I can double tap the screen the instant I flip open the flip cover.
Any ideas? This seems like maybe something the xposed framework could do with the right module.
I don't think it relies on light at all.
My phone works with knock code in the dark just fine.
Also, doesn't opening a circle case usually turn the screen on?

I can confirm that covering up the light sensor with your thumb for a few seconds while the screen is off prevents Knock-on from working even after multiple attempts. Mine allowed knock-on to work instantly after removing my thumb. So I'm not sure about the OP's problem.
As title says i must manually turn off screen before I close the case. I have already enabled smart case settings
It seems, that the Always on Display isn't always on, when using the Smart View Flip Case.
When I close the Flipcover, then the displayed time, etc. go off after few seconds.
NFC is on and the smart case option with window is enabled.
Without the case, the always on display is off only, when something hiding the light sensor.
With the smart cover, when the flpcover hides it, the display is off.
Is there any option, that enables the AOD with the flipcase?

I tried
Same for me with the same case
Wow....too bad I didn't see this before ordering my case. Just received it today, and experiencing the same issue. AlwaysOnDisplay is clearly marked as enabled, but the smart cover only displays info for a few seconds and then goes off. Is there not a switch somewhere to make this cover stay on? I don't really care how often I need to recharge the device, so saving battery is not an issue for me. I want to be able to simply glance at the phone's smart cover and quickly see what I need to know without touching the phone. Oddly enough, without the smart cover, the AOD works just fine. Guess the "smart cover" is not too smart after all.
Flip case
I have the same problem. I contacted Huawei who said that their sample didn't have the same issue and the display is always on in the case window. I haven't been able to find a retailer with a Mate 10 Pro to test whether this is a problem with the case or with the phone.
Same issue on the P20 Pro / Smart Cover, have tweeted them but expect little response.
Same Problem with the mate 10 pro
Guys, there is a setting for it disabling screen if put in your pocket. the phone thinks the case is in your pocket. Try turninf off the Touch Disable mode switch located under smart Assistance. that or try the smart cover settings.
