Thanks, sadly i don't use a cover
On Tab 3 8.0, I found flip cover using a different sensor, a magnetic switch. So, grip sensor still not utilized yet (in CM, not sure about stock ROM). It triggers some events when you touch your Tab 3 on the top left side. Any idea how we could uses this sensor? Touch to wake?
Hi everyone ..
i´m using cruserlite flip case which could lock and unlock moto g with magnetic sensor as the original flip case from motorola does.
Anyway... if i´m going to install a non stock rom i lost the funtionality to lock device with magnetic sensor.
I found a app that does this job ..so for everyone who had the same issue as me ... give it a try

PS: Right now i could not say how much this app drains battery...
Okay... some posts leads me to another way that works much better
Install xposed frame work...download the magnetic sensor disable module ... activate... reboot ..than go to magnetic sensor and disable sensor...
than everything with my flip case works in the way as it works at stock rom
Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the automatic magnetic unlock feature of the 10.1 Note. I've got a case that sometimes will turn of (lock) my Note 10.1 when I don't want it to turn of, without closing the case itself.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Same problem here......I even changed the case!!
Probably something that would require a kernel level change.
Check Under accessory settings. Tasker can probably disable the Magnetic Sensor

There is a xposed module called MagnetOff

Hit the Thanks button if I was able to help you
From Poetic support, turning WiFi off normally takes care of the problem.

I've noticed on mine when I uncheck settings>general>acessory>daynote it won't lock when I close the cover. Worth a shot on yours!
I also have that feature disabled. The case also has a cut out for the home button. I traditionally keep the wifi disabled.

Hi all,
i'm running into, i believe, is the same issue.
When rotating or moving the tablet, the screen will automatically turn off and lock.
I've disabled the eye sensor, increased the screen time out, and disabled day note, with no luck.
Such a pain!
If i root this device, is there a guaranteed way around this 'feature'?
Well, i couldnt take it anymore and removed the magnet from the case.
Here's the case in question:
w w w.amazon.com/COD-Leather-Samsung-Galaxy-Edition/dp/B00EZB3EXU
what i did was to take another magnet and move it around the cover until it connected with the other magnet.
With a sharp exacto blade, i split the seam of the cover and pulled out the magnet (about 5mm in diamater).
It's all good now

I've read that the magnet may also interfere with the stylus pen. Will be getting a new keyboard/touchpad leather case soon but I didn't read whether it had a magnetic strap or not. Guess it won't bother me much and like the user above will probably find a way to remove it.

same problem here. Let me know if you found a fix. I even tried the magnetoff xposed module, but it doesn't seem to work.

having the same problem with my note 10.1. Am using an after market cover which is quite good except that when the cover edges touch, the screen automatically switches off. Very frustrating. Wish samsung would provide a way to disable the magnetic sensor. I am rooted and even tried the magnet off xposed module but it doesn't work.
Any news about that problem ?? I have to disable the magnetic sensor !!
I removed the magnets.

Hmm, but i don't want to cut it out.Is there any way to close magnetic sensor with build.prop ? I mean what is the tweak code for this ?
Did anyone find any way to turn off the magnetic lock and unlock function? When I backfold my cover (aftermarket), it automatically locks my tab. Which is very irritating. I have Samsung galaxy tab S5e
So the ZE550ML has a Quickview Cover feature as it claims.
I happen to have a flipcover with that circle showing a part of my screen for quickview functions.
Now I've put it on my phone and tried the quickview feature. Opened/ closed the flip, but nothing happened. I have a Zenfone 5 and I tried using the feature and it worked like a charm. I'm wondering how to make it work on the Zenfone 2? Are there any sort of like original case in which the quickview cover works? Im a bit confused. Proximity sensors are working and fully functional so I dont know whats the problem as to why it doesnt work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The trick behind view flip is a small magnetic sensor located near the left bottom of back key. Place a magnet in ur flip case.see the magic
Oh. Thanks for the heads up.
[SOLVED]
My previous phone was a OnePlus 3, and it had a magnetic flip cover that would turn off the screen as soon as I shut it. I haven't found a similar product for OnePlus 9 Pro. Any pointers?
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think it does not have that magnetic screen on/off option. I am also looking for a magnetic flip cover. Also for a viable solution for notifications. I think I will go for the Xperia 5 III once released, purely because of the notification light...
I probed around the screen of my OnePlus 9 Pro with a magnet, and no luck -- it doesn't seem to have a hall effect sensor like that on my previous OP5.
But not a problem -- the "Gravity Screen - On/Off" app by Plexnor (Google Play) enables flip covers to work without magnets, using the proximity sensor instead. I use the Nillkin Flip Case on my phone that way, and it all works just fine.
Cheers
