Hello guys, I've bought a chinese s-view cover for s6.
It is just like the original and I feel a little magnet in the left corner of the flip. But it doesn't work by itself... I don't want to use s view apk in the store because it uses prossimity sensor. Since this cover has a magnet, I think it could be used just like galaxy alpha with a custom rom or with a patch. What do you think about it? Can someone help me?

I'm guessing you're in Asia. The Book Cover isn't being released in the EU and US until later this month so I doubt there will be a lot of people that can help you.

The "official" Book Cover a lot of us are waiting for has magnets in it too. So I'm guessing it's not the magnet itself but where it's hitting your Note.
I just took a small neodymium magnet (very strong) and ran it over the entire front, back and around the edges of my Note 10 and nada. Didn't wake it up. It did, however, stick to the speaker magnets.

Was you S-pen in its slot at the time? If so, maybe take it out then try again, just to see what happens?
I'm really interested in the Samsung Clear Cover (seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKpzYY37kM), but I can't find any reviews that actually show the phone in the case.
Anyone seen any? I really want to see if it protects the camera and allows the phone to be laid flat on a table.
EDIT: I found this one. I really like this case
I played with an S6 in store which had the clear cover installed. The case sits nearly flush with the camera lense so the phone lays flat when you put it down. I didn't look into it with too much detail, I was more interested in the phone but I believe the camera was slightly recessed when placed inside this case.

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.
Hey Guys,
i now own a S6, and i wanted to know how Sview is working???
cause i bought a case and there is no sview screen....
i had a S4 before, and there is a hall sensor near the vol down button. if i put a magnet here, i can test sview.
S6 (phone *#0*#) tells me there are 2 hall sensors.
but when i put 2 magnets there, there is no sview screen....
also the mother of my girlfriend (is it called mother in law to me?) has a S3 mini (i think) and there also siew isnt working...
is there a menu a have to activate sview (like i had to do with my s4) within my S6 and S3 mini?
Thank you all!

Hi mate,
the s-view cover is working quite well with the s6 BUT the original samsung s-view cover scratches your screen!
It is the same problem as with the clear-view cover. The hard plastic is sitting directly on the display and if dust or sand comes between you have scratches all over the screen! :crying:
If you have a original samsung cover then you can activate it in the settings under "accessories". If you have a 3rd party cover you will have to download a 3rd party app to use it as it can not use the magnetic trigger (afaik) - this app use the proximity sensor mostly.
hope it helps..
Hi!
Thank you!
I have a Screen protection on the phone. so i hope there will be no scratches...
does the sview cover using the proximity sensor or hall sensor?
with magnet like the S4 does?
Can you tell me where i can find the proximity sensor?
i have no menu called accessories!?
That´s why i´m asking all the questions.
i know from s4 there is an accessorie menu, and i have to activete sview there.
but i can´t find this on s6!
and i want to know more Details how sview cover works.
Thank you
If I'm not mistaken, since Galaxy S5 Samsung has integrated Samsung ID chipset in their original S-View case. Therefore, if you want to use S-View function either buy original S-View case or get a clone S-View case with chipset built-in.
Currently, S-View for S6 has 2 approaches. One is install case owned app & another is clone case with chipset. Else, it won't work even with magnet attached on the case only like Galaxy S4.
Ah!
O.K. Thank you!
there is a special chip.
additional Question:
The S4 SView Case has a (don´t know how to say it in englisch...) small part with a magnet that keeps the case closed.
And the S6 Cover doesn´t have it.
how does it keep closed???
I think if it will be often opened and closed, then it won´t fit after a few "days"...
S6 doesn't accept "add-on" chipsets!

Sorry to revive a year-old thread but there is no way for the Galaxy S6 which is a sealed phone with a glass back to accept a "CHIPSET" to activate S-View capability. I have an S5 which I no longer use and an S6 which I've had for nearly a year. The S5 with the OEM inductive charging back included the S-View chip (although the back didn't have the cover attached). The S6 which is a sealed phone with no removable back cover, does not allow installation of add-on chipsets.
I think your mobile may get scratches on screen if you don't use screen guard.
If its anything like lg quik circle case it works of magnets
There are no magnets that hold the cover shut, but it stays shut by itself most if the time. When the cover is installed, a menu pops up and asks you to update the accessory. It may be done with a NFC chip, but am not sure. You need a screen protector on to keep the screen scratch free

on the lgs its a small magnet in the case not to hold it shut but it trips the sensor that only displays a portion of the screen. its highly unnoticable. and again if its like lgs quite small. if it run through the nfc wouldnt it mess with the wireless charging to?
The wireless charging is not affected with the samaung and belkin pad. Somewhere I read it recognised the case by nfc, but after some more research, there are 4 small magnets in the front cover
Hi,
So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?
EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.
