I just bought the polar pen.. its an awesome pen that built from strong magnets, and its also a stylus. but on my s4 i9500, the strong magnet triggers s-view cover like effect when im pointing the upper left corner of the screen. so if I want to draw and reaching that point, the screen shaping to s-view mode (black screen with clock at the top).
I know I can disable the auto unlock in the settings. but is there a way to completly disable the s-view support??? its extremly annoying

If your phone is rooted, you can browse to your system folder and delete the sviewcoverservice.apk (or something along those lines). Or use TiBu to find the process and disable/freeze it.

This is my fiancée's phone and I installed the screen protector last night. I followed the instructions: spray a thin layer of the solution and avoid getting liquid near the speakers/holes. I used her blow dryer on the lowest setting to speed up the curing process.
I've installed several "wet" screen protectors in the past so I at least have an idea at what I'm doing.
Prior to installing the screen protector, the Yahoo Sports ticker was able to scroll through her favorite teams. Now, it looks like it's constantly trying to refresh the feed (swipe down on the edge screen). It also happens with the Yahoo Finance and News panels as they scroll through the feed.
This does not affect any of the other panels as I can scroll through the "Favorite Apps" panel without it acting up. The camera controls on the edge panel works.
I'll give it a few days for the screen protector to fully cure/dry to see if it makes any difference. If not, I'll see what AT&T can do since I got insurance for our phones.
I have the same screen protector ready to install on my phone. Besides the issue you mentioned, how does it look and fit?
Is there anything under the protector?
And you sure you got all the water out?
When I did mines there was alot of water in the spend slot.
I ended up taking the phone apart and blow dry the whole thing for 20 mins then put it back together and no problems.

I have it on my Edge, looks and fits perfect. I don't like the feel, it feels like plastic. But tempered glass is what I would love, but with the curved screen, that probably won't happen. [emoji25]

It's fixed! It wasn't from the screen protector installation after all...
I force closed Touchwiz and apps that had the word "panel" in them. I'm thinking "Live UX Panel" is the culprit since that was the last thing I force closed.
The weird thing is that rebooting the phone numerous times when the error first appeared didn't fix it.
It's safe to say I'll never do another wet screen protector install for this phone just in case I ever do **** up.

Reboots don't always close put the apps.
I know it's weird but most of the time the apps get dump into flash memory and then are back running on reboot.

I've got myself a galaxy s6 after many happy years with a nexus 5. The one feature I really miss is the screen of the nexus would wake when you opened the flip case, no button pressing necessary. Is it possible to get this feature on the s6?
Try EveryCover or Auto Screen On!

The S6 does this automatically with a flip case; no apps needed

I must be missing a setting then as mine doesn't. I need to press the side or centre button.
I'm using a snugg case. Tried all the settings, still have to open the case then press power or centre button. Could you tell me what case you have?
The case needs a magnet to let the s6 recognize that it has to turn the display on or off.

He is probably referring to Samsung's official Flip Cover cases. They all turn off the screen when closed, and turn on the screen when opened. Not sure about third party cases though, you'll have to check the specs to see if they support such a feature. Usually there is a specially placed magnet on the case that triggers the screen on/off action.
Thanks for the help, I see now I should have gone for a case that specified auto wake/sleep feature.
I've still not found a leather type wallet case with smart lock/wake. Has anyone got one, can post a link. Don't want the s view case as they seem very flimsy.

Not only a magnet. I've an unofficial cover with the two magnets just like the official one. But the official has a NFC tag too. So without root and a proper fix, unofficial cover doesn't work.
I'm waiting for some custom rom to do it...

Is there any settings to do to use the auto on off feature when you close and open the genuine Samsung wallet flip case , my note edge is on stock lollipop .
Thanks
If it is genuine it should work. I have it and it works automaticly. If the flip case is not original, you should use smart cover app from playstore.
It is genuine one , bought from amazon , but mine is not doing auto on of if I close or open the flip
It's working now , had to reboot the phone (turn off and then on ) it's working now , is there any way of changing the blue lines around the clock when the case is shut ???
Note Edge Flip Wallet is Not Black but Grey
It says Black on the package, but it is Grey.
I've seen others mention the same and I looked at a few more in the AT&T store.
They are all Grey that say black.
I wished it was Black and not Grey

You can change clock style in edge settings.
I have a genuine Samsung note edge flip cover with sensor, and recently I bought a third party cheap flip cover without a sensor. I want to remove this sensor from the genuine one. Is this possible and can someone help?
Just pop it off, it held with stickey double sided tape

Do let us know if popping it off from the original and putting it in the duplicate one still renders the same result.
If you flip cover for android or S9 is not turning off or on screen
When you put on the cover then turn off or restart your phone. It will start working and you can customise what to show on locked screen by settings >advanced features >accessories.
Accessories will aprear sometimes only after you use any acessory and restart phone.
Any fix for this? This so far has been my main annoyance with this phone. Happens on both my parents Galaxy S5 running Lollipop as well.
Examples: Scrolling through settings is bouncy same for webpages which is just awful.
Then the worst is the Notification panel, Its so bad that I'll scroll down and the panel goes right back up.
Any suggestions for this?

I havent placed one on yet, I have a Ghostek Tempered Glass I planned putting on once I figure out what firmware I want to run on it.
I am hoping someone knows how to get out of that black "window" screen (the one that only shows the information in the window) when on a phone call. I had to press 1 for something and couldn't figure out how to get to the dial pad! I thought I was loving this case… now I am not so sure… my city on the smart screen was correct this morning but now the temperature won't update! I might end up turning off the smart case…

I think I figured out that the black screen came up because I folded the front cover flap around to the back while I was on the phone. I guess the magic works that way, too! Lol!

Yes.Some covers have the magnet so strong it acts from the back side too.
Agree. Get used to folding it flat so the spine sticks out left, and when you lay it flat the magnet doesn't interfere.
Try not to round out or create additional bends in the spine and you will be in good shape.
My other black cover (the other cover vendor in my case recommendations post) is constantly triggering black and the window which makes my gold cover even more sweet.

I am laying it very flat on the back but it immediately triggers the black screen. Maybe because it is still so new. It looks goofy if I talk with the cover open. I know you can talk with the cover closed and that will probably work in most instances except when you want to access other functions while still on the call... Because if you open the cover while on the call problems ensue... I will figure it out...

I figured out what you meant. You have to fold the front cover back in a way that makes it offset to the left underneath. As long as it doesn't meet the back exactly centered it doesn't trigger the black screen. The only problem is that my hand is kinda too small to handle those extra millimeters on the left! Still figuring it out!

You get my poor use of the English language absolutely correct. (No excuse, relatives came over in 1620 so I should know how to write )
It is a learned behavior to get the left offset trick to work consistently

Hi guys,
Do you know if there is some way to customize the smart cover window? Change background, add widgets and so on. I can't find anything like that in settings...

Unfortunatelly there is no options to customize this window, I'm very sad, my previous phone was an LG G Flex, and there was several customization options for this window.
