Hello. I don't know if it is working or not working. Or if it should work actually in that way but...
Here's the thing. I bought this case - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...hash=item3f51037847:m:mx72xhE-EjvIAifVs0AYS-w
And I previously had a LG G3, which I sold, got this beauty of a phone. I had the Circle view case for G3 and when it was put on, when I opened the cover, the phone automatically unlocked and turned on. But that doesn't happen on my Z3. Is it due to some sensors or due to to a bad case? Something with magnets in the case or the phone itself. It would be fine, if a sensor would detect wether there is a cover on the screen or not. But it does simply nothing, I have to unlock the phone by myself to wake it up. Or there are no such features on Sony phones?
Thanks in advance.

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!
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 bought a second hand xperia z5 for my dad but it has one problem: the nfc doesn't work.
I also got the src42 cover and it can't pair with it now since it uses nfc.
The diagnostics test in the settings of the phone say the nfc works.
I have tried a factory reset and a software repair with the xperia companion software but no luck.
Restarted the phone, switched nfc on and off multiple times, tried 5 different nfc devices, tried switching Bluetooth on and off all no luck either.
Any suggestions of what I can do?, am I looking at a hardware problem?
I can order a new nfc chip for 6,40, but I don't like to break open the phone
It appears the phone has a back protector of what appears to be tempered glass, it's about just as thick as a regular tempered glass for your screen.
Can this protector really be that strong that it is blocking the nfc from making a connection?
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
