I use a genuine s view case, sometimes though my phone doesn't recognise it and won't turn on when I open the case. Also system / accessories is not present when I have this problem. A reboot may make the phone recognise the s view case again. Anyone else got this problem ?
I am having a similar problem. When I restart the S6 when its in the S-View case, the S-View case is not recognized. I then take the phone out of the case and reinsert it back into the case and voila, the S-View works. It is definitely my phone because I've repeated this with three different S-View cases and S6 phones; all three cases work properly on the other two phones and all three cases act the same on my phone. Once I take off the case and replace it, the S-View functions seem to work until I restart the phone again. Also as you mentioned system / accessories is not listed when the S-View is not working. Try taking the case off and putting it back on to see if it works for you.
Also have similar problem. Restarting the phone usually solve the problem. Suspecting is software problem. Hopefully next update will solve the problem.
camera problems
When I use the camera with the case closed the photos appear cropped (not full size) anyone else with the same problem and is there a cure?
Thanks

Hello guys!
Has anyone tried this case?

No one?
Hi SERGIUHUSCA I have tried an OEM one and it works 100% I cant paste the link yet because of XDA policy.
And it works 100% with Samsung GS5.
Best Regards...
I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171382082...49&var=470430675712&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But the right-hand side doesn't fully click into place, so I'd be worried about it's water resistance.
I have the official samsung one and it sucks
I have bought nearly a month ago this Samsung EF-CG900BBEGWW S View Cover. In simple words, i am sure you can buy a better case.
This particular one doesn't close well in the front, so sometimes the screen goes on for excessive time. Furthermore, the acrylic window is very fragile and gets scratched easily.
The contact that makes the switch between the small (window) screen and full screen mode, which seems to be placed somewhere in the backpart of the case fails and once in a day i have to unattach and attach it back to get the function again.
Really, bad quality product, I frankly discourage anyone to buy it.
Yep I think all of the s-view covers are having issues with the front part not closing fully. Apparently it's due to lack of magnetism. Mine isn't scratching but I've only had it for 4 days. However, I'd expect it to scratch; and better that scratch than the phone itself, which is the main reason I have the case.
Don't buy this fake case!The case can brik your phone!
After i put the case on my phone in 30 minutes i feel a overheating on the phone!After that the phone doesn't recognize the sim card and reboot itself!Imediatly i take off the case ad everything came back to normal!
I have a P901 (3G model) and an official case for it, but when its in the case the HOME/BACK/RECENT buttons flat out dont work. If I take out they do work.
Any ideas where the sensor is on the tablet? I suspect what is happening is the case/tablet is a bit too sensitive...
Based on your symptoms I'd suspect that the case features auto on/off capability which is triggered by magnetic fields generated by magnets hidden within parts of the case. Not sure what else you can do short of finding said magnets and removing them. It should be easy to find them, take the case off of the tablet and then run an unbent paper clip along the various surfaces of the case both back and front. You should be able to locate various magnets that way.
Is it meant to stay shut? Via. a magnet or something?
My mom just bought one and as soon as she closes the front, it pops up again (which means the screen becomes active).
Is this normal?
That's normal
Yeah I bought mine from Wally World on clearance for $5, so I basically had to buy it. It does open some though, sometimes enough to make it become active, sometimes not so much. The only thing I did, and it works, for a while atleast, is set something heavy on it (just the case, not the phone) for a couple hours.
I have an official S-View Cover and when I bought it I was thinking of buying the little magnetic clipfrom Spigen but when I put the S view cover and realized it stayed correctly closed without activating the screen, I didn't buy the clip. Howerver if your cover keeps popping up, you might wanna get it.
After using
After putting in my pocket and abusing it, lol. My case stays shut now. I did have the same problem as you at first.
I got mine from the samsung store it self and it works perfectly and nicely. That's normal for the S-View to be on active once you've closed it anyway it will turn off and put on standby after a seconds.
I bought this today for $9 http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=5000&page=1 and I successfully registered it and the app, but the problem is if I close the flip cover completely, it unlocks my screen instead of showing the kview. The kview appears only if the case is partially opened like 5-10mm. Seems like a problem with the way it interacts with the proximity or a service. Anyone got an idea?
Since it shows the smart view when not completely closed, I can't use the smart shortcuts..
I just bought this case after reading your post. It doesn't work correct for me either, I have a feeling it's because of the magnet placement, top left corner on the front of case. I cant use the case even without the app, as if I close it while screen on, it simulates a long press of the back and menu button.
I guess this is indeed the problem! Wasted myself $9 since I bought it from another region! I need to figure out a way to remove that glass plastic.
Hello, I've had this issue for about 3 months now. Insurance company wont help and phone repairs cost a lot.
Let me introduce you to the problem, my honor 8 thinks that I have one of those flip cases with a magnet on. It only shows the upper center of the screen.
There are no magnets on it/close and it doesn't matter if I do a hard reset or how I bot it.
I have no touch while it's in its frozen state.
I can't update it either because the package always fails and at this point I've tried everything to fix it, even bought a flip case to see if it will fix it...
Here's a related thread I found, but this was with a magnet close: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-screen-freezes-phone-magnet-t3702651
