Hello!
I have bought a "smart" cover case with a little window in the upper right corner. When opened/closed it triggers a little home screen with a clock and a camera button. I cant find which the application is to provide that screen, i there are any settings. Is someone aware of this?
I'm currently running KangVip Ultra slim B112 and this functionality is present there.

It would be really intersting to know...

I believe the functionality is provided by /system/priv-app/Keyguard.apk
I also have the mediapad x2 with this "smartcase". how does this case trigger the clock "window" thing? is there a small magnet or rfid embedded in the case?? problem i'm having is when I fold the cover/flap behind the phone so that I can hold and use my phone, it keeps randomly trying to switch back and forth from the clock screen and then back to whatever I was doing. it seems to be triggered by proximity and alignment of the case's front flap... again though' the problem I have is the phone can somehow sense it from the back too which forces me to have to constantly keep like a one inch gap between the flap and phone body while using. I would prefer to not have the window thing at all vs. having this annoying problem. I also would just buy a different case if there were more options. but theres not even a knock-off otter box for this phone... just this wacky flap case and the super cheapo basic crap.. I would be very interested in how to turn off the clock thing permanently while keeping this case

Yes, there is small magnet activating sensor inside the phone. I have such case and, fortunately, I HAVE SOLVED problem myself. Look there for solution.

hi guys,
not sure if you're facing this issue.
i recently bought a protective cover, and after fixing it, noticed that the device is behaving odly.
it sleeps intermittently during use (as if you pressed the on/off button) and when you press on/off to turn it back, the home button and capacitive buttons are not functional. Back, home, and the task buttons can't work... after a few minutes of on/off, then it's ok.
however, when i take it out of the protective cover, it doesn't happen.
any of you have that problem?
Thanks.
Regards,
Liang
Yeah, I've experienced this problem too. I have a case that can flip the orientation of the screen. It seems that if I flip the tablet around the capacitive buttons come back. Very strange problem. I hope they can fix it in an update.

Hopefully the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor that controls smart cover functionality can be reduced via a software update. Until then being cognizant of it and realizing what orientation we have to keep our cover flaps away from to keep from triggering the screen off feature is all we can do.
Some cases have weaker magnets than others.

hi,
the cover i have does not have magnets.
where exactly the sensor that tirggers the sleep?
thanks.

The sensor is approximately 1.75 inches to the right of the G in the Samsung Logo and 1.5 inches from the top edge of the tablet.
Have you run a paper clip along all surfaces of the case/cover to determine for sure that there are no magnets embedded within either side of it? Magnets used for the on/off functionality in covers are thin and hidden inside the cardboard that is within the fabric/leather linings.

thanks... but what exactly am i looking at? or is it internal?
you reckon that it's the magnet that's causing this? funny, it was a cheap case, will run through a clip along the surface and check it out.
thanks
The sensor is internal. If you pass a magnet over that spot it will toggle the tablet screen on and off.

that would be really interesting
I have been looking and can't find it no where.
I've also searched the entire net but can't find it nowhere.
Does anyone know what technology is used in that screen protector. We can try to make our own if we new that.
The Navigation bar will move to the bottom bezel after you deactivate and close it in the Settings, while the upper bezel corners will activate certain apps like camera etc.. when swiped.

What's the material those buttons are made of. Chrome, magnet, etc.

They are just prints on the protecting screen.
the picture I've attached is Touchplus for Huawei P8.
Pls notice the printed buttons at the buttom. .

They have some inivisible wiring done in that screen protector. the touch on protector's buttons translates to simultaneous touches in certain areas of device. These simultaneous touches can be used to trigger home, back or whatever function huawei has coded in.

There is one thing. The p8 is global with there bands, can be be used any where, has full huawei support from the main site, and since all that is the case the p8 and the p8 maxx would be there flag ships and get the accessories before any of the other phone will even hope to get them. Thats why I am hoping that a china company makes a cheap version of it and I will bet money they will. The way they are sell these phones. They just have to get rid of a few more screen protectors first, they don't want to get stuck with them if everyone move on over to touchplus protectors. I'd pay 30 to 40 bucks for one.
How does this even work? How does the phone know you pressed buttons off the screen?
I love the idea of more screen real estate!

The software on the phone ( see the Touchplus under your settings ) simply monitors if a signal happened at x location.
Under the touchplus protector there is a micro thin wire going from the front ( where you see the buttons ) to the back ( that touches your screen ).
As you press the button, you create a electric contact with your skin's electricity field, this signal is send to the back of your protector, to the phone where the software picks up this signal on that exact location.
And because the signal is send using a thin wire, its impossible to mistake this with a finger press because our fingers our huge so the location of the electric field is way more massive.

That is pretty impressive to say the least!
I hate on screen buttons as they take away screen real estate. I will definitely be picking one of these up whenever they are available!
I wonder why they didn't just put the buttons down at the bottom of the phone in the first place?
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.
Hi folks,
Is it possible to answer calls when flip closed? Also can we see notification light when its closed again?
Thanks!
what kind of flip cover you used?
What case?

entirely depends on which cover you've used. ideally you need to flip the case open to swipe the screen to accept the call. You can then close the flip cover and take the call as per normal. I doubt that you can use what samsung phones have where they have a slot on the cover where you can swipe the screen, as MIUI requires you to swipe up instead of left/right.
I'm talking about original flip cover which produced by xiaomi. Do you have any experience about notification light and Does screen go off when flip cover closed?

I have one. The screen goes off. You cannot see the notification light when closed. The side buttons work great. I dropped it once. The cover saved it on the first bounce. Then the phone flew out of the cover but did not break.
I'd like to just chime in and ask, does the official Xiaomi flip case stay closed properly?
The flap looks like it isn't secured, so is it prone to popping open? How does it compare to the flip cases that have a magnetic buckle?

It keeps popping open and it's annoying. But I only have it for 3 days now, maybe with time it will stretch,
I was thinking of adding a magnet clip or something myself even.
It does open, no magnet to keep it closed. It has some weight on it though, so it is still way better than the nilkin flip case. That one couldn't even stay closed and screen kept going on and off. In the nilkin though the phone clips in better and you can see when the screen turns on for notifications. Another thing you should consider with flip cases is the absence of lock control when you get a custom rom. None of the roms i tried had an option to control whether the magnet of the flip case is going to be locking the screen or not as in miui. After trying them for a few weeks i switched to a regular back cover case.
Is it correct that the magnetic sensor (used for turning the screen on/off when closing a case lid) is on the left side of the U12+ - opposite to the side that every case you can buy closes on?
I have a couple of different cases for the U12+, both of which fold open to form a stand. However, I found that I can’t use them as a stand, because doing so puts the magnet in close proximity to the left side of the phone and turns my screen off every time. This also means that if I wanted to - no case I can find would be able able to turn the screen off when closing the lid.
Additionally, because both of the cases I have fold open from half way round the back, I tend to let the back portion of the case feed through my fingers when holding the phone in landscape mode (essentially, I use the case as a holding support). This method of holding a phone has never been a problem before, but with the U12+ - it means that the case lid is hanging down behind the left side of the phone and frequently turns the screen off when I don’t want it to.
Any feedback or thoughts would be welcomed.
Craig.
Can anybody confirm or refute my observations? I’d really like to figure out if I’m the only one who has experienced this. Thanks for your help.
This is correct. The magnetic sensor of the U12+ is situated on the bottom left corner, exactly where it was on the HTC 10 as well. You can also see its position on the HTC Diagnostics hidden menu, under the Hall Sensor test
Thank you
