I had crazy problem which causing pen not writing on some parts of screen.
Googled it and found out that the Samsung magnetic cover causing it, removed the cover and it works fine.
Any one else has this problem?

Did a few searches and I didn't see anyone mention this issue, so I may just have a slightly defective cover.
I got my free flip case and tec tiles in the mail today and the case snaps on just fine and looks great. But I noticed the camera and flash LED are recessed. The camera only a little and the LED a little more than the camera. I'm kind of concerned about dust and debri possibly making its way through any slight cracks that may be between the cover and LED. I'm not going to ask for a replacement since Samsung have this to me for free, but does anyone else have this issue?
Also, I could have sworn there was a thread sharing a notice that Samsung was giving these away if you register your device. Couldn't find that or else I'd post this question there.
Sent From My Gargantuan Note 2
Hey guys,
I got an official S-view cover from ATT store (Black) for my new note 3. I love it except for one major problem. When I fold the cover open around the back and set it down on something like a desk or table. Eventually the phone will sit completely flat against the cover and I am noticing that the cover will engage S-view mode on the phone while it it folded around the back of the phone. This is super annoying, because when its in S-View mode the phone is essentially locked and I can't do anything with it unless I un-fold the cover from around the back. I thought maybe I had a bad cover with super strong magnets or something so I returned it to ATT and bought another one from T-Mobile (This was the advice I got from Samsung support). I having the exact same problem with this one. Now I think its my phone. I can replicate this problem anytime by simply putting pressure on phone the and cover while it is folded around the back. When I hold the phone in my hand with the cover around the back it is not as prevalent because phone usually is not sitting completely flat to the cover (because the cover is still new). Once it breaks in and gets flimsy this will happen all the time completely limiting phone functional while the cover is around the back. I had the an S-View cover on a S4 and it never had this problem. Can any of you guys replicate this issue or do I have a bad phone. Please help, I need to know if I need to exchange my phone. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem here. It seems to be an issue of either the little magnet on the bottom of the cover being too strong or the sensor on the phone being too sensitive. Definitely annoying and poorly designed. I don't know of any solution. I just wedge my finger behind the cover to prevent it from tripping, but that's hardly a solution.
Can't help you with this issue.. but I got bought two knock-offs on the web and never experience anything like that. Probably the way it's built with the OEM case.
I have the same problem with my sview case for note 3.
Interesting issue. I have the wireless charging s-view case and I can confirm that this dos not happen with it. I guess that is due to the thicker back cover portion.
Hey guys,
I got myself a View Cover for my Note 3.
Now I've got a problem:
When completely opening the cover, so that the front view is on the back of my phone, the phone goes into the "cover is closed-mode", i got that square view and can go to camera and action-memos...
But i just wanted to use my phone normally,
Is it just me with that problem or has anyone the same problems?
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's actually closed
phone is in normal mode when cover is opened
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's flipped back completely
Thanks in advance!

I've got the same problem. I stopped using the s-view case because of it.
Some people say there were some defective batches where this was an issue (magnet too strong?), and others say they don't have the issue at all.
If you have the option, try exchanging it for a different one and see if you get better results.
I had the same thing happen as well. I let the company know and they gave me a new case. Hasn't happened since.
Are you guys talking about genuine S-View covers?
Because I get that sometimes on my cover, but it is a cheap chinese knock-off, so I don't mind it at all - it rarely happens anyway.
But I wouldn't accept that on a genuine Samsung cover.
I've tried another cover, too but the problem remained. I aswell am using some chinese knockoff, although it says samsung... But yeah, can someone tell me if the original view-cover got that problems?
Thanks for your replies!

Genuine Samsung s-view cover doesn't have this issue
I've got a genuine cover and I don't have this problem at all.
If its a knock off, good chance the magnet in the front of the case is too strong. I've noticed if I put a magnet up to the bottom left of the phone, this will trick it into thinking the cover is closed. Similarly if its done from the back of the phone, if the magnet is too strong it will trigger the same. not sure if theres something you can place in the back cover of the case to shield it?

First, thanks for your reply!
I will check if I can protect the back somehow.
But anyways, I am thinking of buying another view-cover because my phone won't recognize mine from time to time... Have to reattach it to get it back working.
I know you can get both cases separately (official S view) OR QI/NFC back cover, but I am unable to find a combined on ebay. And my attempts to install the s-view chip onto the qi\nfc coil\chip have failed thus far.
Now my NOte 3 wont even return to working pain S-View. I have ruined the magnetic flip sensor thingy mcjob, or the pins arent connecting.
What is the best way to test to see if the chips are connected\detected on an s-view case? installed a few "hardware info" apps and all they seem to show is that magnetic sensor certainly detects magnetic changes when flipping an s-view case, yet samsung s-view UI dioes not get triggered.

I realize this was posted a while ago, but in the spirit of information, I experimented and with a magnet you can find the small magnet in the sview cover, and you can also check if it triggers the sview action by passing the small magnet in the vicinity of the lower left hand side of the screen. The nfc is built into the battery, and some sview covers have wireless charging function, which will be apparent if you find two gold colored contacts inside the back which sit to the side of where the battery sits. for as small as the magnet in the cover is, if it's misaligned it may not trigger the action. also neodymium permanently lose there magnetism if exposed to too high heat, and although relatively low, I would think it would melt the cover before doing so. If one is doing some sloppy madding though, it could happen. I would check the software side of the problem, make sure the funtion is enabled. If running custom rom, check that the function is available.
Something I am still trying to figure out myself is how the wireless charging works, I have an s view cover with the wireless charging circuit and I have a cheap qi charger. I also have a wireless charging reciever I pull out of another battery cover I thing from a note 3 but I don't remember. Its contacts line up correctly with mine, but it also has two more contacts that line up with the other ones which I assume are for nfc, because the look to be attached to a separate coil antenna. With the charger powered, nothing happens when I put the note on it. If I put the unit from the other cover it it, it start the charging cycle. if I put that unit onto my note and hold it in place with the stock plain battery cover it still works, and the phone indicates that its charging. Put the svirw cover back on, nothing.maybe I'll start another thread on that questiion.
I discovered this evening that the case I bought breaks the compass. I wasn't able to calibrate the compass until I took the tablet out of the case. The cover is magnetic to turn the screen on and off. Either the magnets they use are too strong or they cover too much area. Or this table is unusually sensitive to magnets. The case I bought was this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C9WF485/
I'm curious to see if the next case I buy has the same problem.
Could someone confirm that their compass is working with a case with a sleep/wake feature? This is happening to the second case I bought.

For me it's working fine and I am using the original Huawei case.
