I ordered the same phone and case.. mine have not arrived yet though
I did see on my wifes P20 pro, there is a separate toggle for the smart view case that needs to be turned on. Is that option on?

Yeah i have it on !
What it does is when its on when you close the cover it turn off the screen and display the time and when you open the cover the screen turn on*
but if you turn it off nothing work when you close the cover so the option work as intended
i also tried disabling touch disable mode that prevent the phone to perform action when in pocket but no luck
same issue in this post with huawei mate 10 pro but no answer since may 2018 :/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-pro-display-smart-view-flip-case-t3719751
Just saw this video and it seems to happen to this dude i can't understand to what he say but i think its not a problem its designed to be that way....
Its so frustrating because i alway listen to music via my phone and when music is playing i have the cover on, the phone display the music control for 10sec and it dissapear so useless :'(
Same problem here!
It's not going to stay on, without the case closed and AOD on cover all the sensors on the notch with your hand and the AOD will turn off, there is no way to keep it on with the case shut. I found this out with my P20 Pro last year.
I got sick of this cover after 10 seconds due to the case covering the notification light, blurry front view window and AOD switching off after 10 seconds. At first I thought the ambient light sensor being blocked by the case was the problem (the sensor which is an inch to the right of the earphone speaker, which determines whether or not your phone is face down, or in your pocket/bag in order to switch the screen/AOD off to save battery) so I took a knife to the cover to see if that helped. It didn't. Even after cutting a section of the case out and exposing the ambient light sensor it still doesn't keep AOD on. I have attached a photo in the link below of my butchered cover for comedy purposes

It's by design, cause in the Smart View window the content does not move like full-screen AOD without the cover. So without moving the content it's going to burn-in, and therefor AOD is not implemented in Smart View.

LOL... now you have double window flip case
I have an issue where sometimes the smart cover doesn't activate when I have an incoming call and I would have to flip the cover open to answer call. How can I fix this problem
Just got my mate 20 pro and that cover. Sucks to have no clock. It works on the P20 Pro. So much for burn in...
Hi, same boat like you guys. Hope that 9.1 is magic but I don't think so

Lets hope so. I changed to a silicon case + screen protector for now. I really want that AOD.

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
Waiting OP to give us their opinion about this app

Is there something special about Samsung's Flip Case? I have a generic flip case but can't get this to work. Running rooted Deodexed LJ1.

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?

But you're right - the sensor doesn't like black. If I use a piece of lighter coloured tape on the inside of the cover it works! The only issue I have now is that the app is not auto loading at boot.

Are you running the full version? I limited that function to that version. Great to hear the tape fix worked
According to me proximity autolock works well and it is available on play store
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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?

Ah.. crap. I thought I fixed that bug before I released it. I guess there's still a way for that to happen.
I'm working on an update to help filter out false triggers and will patch that bug. It shouldn't happen. Sorry.

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.
V1.05
Just uploaded version 1.05 to the Play Store
Changes:
Reduced false triggers for screen off
Changed button UI
Added notice about dark cases
Updated icon
Sped up screen on response a little bit
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!)
After I updated my Nokia Lumia 920. the screen turns off when im dialing someone, and the only way to get it back is to restart it or if the person on the other end hangs up.
Could it be the light sensor? or is it just the phone update that messed it up?
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nok...n-t-switch-off-Lumia-920/td-p/1606440/page/10
Thanks!
I will return it tomorrow, since im not ready to open it after 20 days of use
now its REALLY FIXED but need to open the phone (only two screws )
Symptoms:
Experience screen and touch sensor switch off during a call, Notifications (the screen stays off, like if it was in a pocket) which doesn't turn on as usual.
Try:
If during a call you press and hold the upper left corner of the glass -just between the speaker and the upper left corner- you will notice that the sensor works as expected.
I think :
Because of the layered nature of the phone internals design and the heavy use of ribbon connectors it had to be tight to connect the board with the sensor.
My Solution:
I just added a peace of sponge (W:4mm/H:5mm/L:15mm) (all weather door and window sealant) -that comes self adheasive from one side- and sticked a small peace on the board on the opposite side of the phonejack/secondary mic connectors (Pictures attached) this will add pressure on the board to be more tight tried it and working as normal.

Mine is suffering the same issue. In the Nokia forums one user recommended to "blow air" across the top of the phone where the display meets the case right above the Nokia logo. I did this and now my proximity sensor is working. It's got to be dust getting on the sensor. I'm going to take mine apart and see if I can come up with a seal for the FFC and proximity sensor.
If interested, not sure if Amazon UK have made a mistake, but the smart view case is on for just over £10, currently only the black version is available to order but not due until next week.
of course ordered one as have used the one for the mate 10 pro and find its a good case

mine finally arrived today, enquired why when it was on prime delivery it took 3 days after dispatch to arrive, and they advised depends where it was at time of order, so they gave me an extra months prime for the delay
but as with the mate 10 pro case, it well worth the price
So am I right in thinking always on display doesn't work with the half of the screen that is visible through the case?

Yep it's strange, what's the point in having a clear section when 2 seconds after closing the case, the AOD turns off?
Seems like a software fix is required on this as it seems to defeat the purpose of the case design.

because you can see anyone calling and answer or dismiss them, see alarms and cancel these.
True but the marketing images shown certainly give the impression that the screen will be displayed with time/notifications etc, not be there briefly for 2 seconds and disappear.
Agreed, great case but having the aod stay on, umm, always would be great
If you close the case, then hit the power button, the AOD will stay on. Only just discovered this, so not sure how long it stays on for - it's been 3 minutes so far... I've set the screen sleep to 10 minutes, so it might go off then. Not sure how I set the screen not to sleep at all, as it wasn't an option in the settings?

It only stayed on for about 5 minutes, which isn't really that useful. That is a bit of a design-flaw in the software. The AOD works fine with no flip cover, but becomes Sometimes On Display when used with the flip cover. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I'm trying some 'screen always on' apps to see if they can help, but so far, no joy.
Did somebody find a solution to this problem?

problem to your issue is, you gota enable feature called allways on display notification. When that is enabled it will adjust it's display to show on side at right or whever the window/transparent box is.

Yes it does that, BUT after about 5 seconds the display goes off, until you either open the case or press the power button. IMO the display should stay on in the little window to the right.
Just had mine delivered.
Cover doesn't settle flat on the screen. I suspect it may be because I have a tempered glass screen cover (Spigen).
I like the case (looks smart) but I'm not convinced I want to take the protector off. Will see if it settles over the next few days.
Similar issues here, when closing the case the screen goes off.. If I power it on then it stays on for the 2 min duration where the "auto screen off" is set. I'd expect that to be overridden by the "always display information" setting. And it seems to work perfectly well without the case attached / kept open.
I have also removed the screen protector which was on when I got it, seems redundant now I have a case, and attracts a lot of fingerprints too... but that has made no difference.
Really disappointed this doesn't work.. had smart cases on the last couple of HTC's and this looked like a step up, but in fact it does less, as the notification range is more limited.
I wonder if the case covers the sensor.. because if I let the screen go off with the case open, then the screen stays on correctly..

Yeah, as another poster states, this is not true. I have AOD on and the display still goes off when case cover is closed. Very annoying. Guess I'll be returning this case.

Question re the cover I got mine from Amazon UK
On the Amazon pic it looks like clear glass but on my cover the glass is frosted and the display is not clear it's slightly blurred anyone else got this issue
I guess everyone got it slightly blurred but for that few information it provides - I think it's clear enough.

I bought a case that's supposed to turn screen on/off when opening/closing. But it's not working.
How can I check if it's tablet's problem or case's problem?
Maybe this feature is broken in the android pie update?

I use this feature always on my M5 8.4. I don't have it with me to test the sensor location, but you can test it yourself placing a magnet in different places on the screen. Somewhere it will turn on and off.
Are you using stock rom?
The location the magnet test should be made (based on my 8.4) is bottom left corner of screen about 1-1.5 inches in if holding portrait. I don't know where on 10 inch model. My case is the same turns out the magnet in the case was either misplaced or not powerfull enough to trigger the auto screen off.

Head to settings to find the option to check the box smart cover, provided you have the supported cover.
It's working on mine
Finally I changed the case and in the new one it's working. So it was case's problem
