hello,
Is there anything out there for android tablets that does what the apple smart cover does for the iPad? Locking and unlocking the tablet when closing and opening the cover.
thanks!
The ipad's smart cover uses magnets to detect when it is closed. For that function on an android tablet, the manufacturer would have to put that technology into it. The only other hardware that would work is a proximity sensor. The problem would be that when you put your finger or anything else over the sensor on accident, it would trigger the screen lock. Currently, I don't know of any application that uses the proximity for that purpose.

michaelnv710 is right you cannot buy an android tablet case that will provide you with the same functionality, but you can use a dedicated application. I would suggest you take a look at CaseSensor

Sorted thanks! CaseSensor does what I wanted and works really well on my Galaxy Tab 10.1
I don't care about the on off functionality, I'd just like to find one for my acer Iconia that's physically similar like the origami one for the asus or the one that Apple bullied samsung into pulling. Just for screen protection without the bulk of the folio cases which are annoying when I'm using it as a reader. I only use it at home. You'd think they'd be pouring out of China by now.
Being a person who is not going to use a smart watch equipped with Bluetooth to be able to have it unlock my phone, I'm now looking in to the possibility of getting an NFC sticker tag and just sticking it to the back of my regular watch. Has anyone done this yet? With the new android L smart unlock feature, how close would you actually have to get the watch to the sticker for it to work,will simply picking the phone up be enough, or will I be messing around trying to tap the correct area to get my unlock?
I have some bits ordered that I'll be trying as they are dirt cheap any way, just interested if anyone has already done it?

I did this with my Wewood watch, it didn't seem to work very well with a metal one, or under a ring either, because that was going to be my next thing, but it just won't work. Right now, I have an NFC tag under my Medic Alert bracelet and it works perfect. NFC you will still have to tap it to the back.
With my watch, I originally have it stuck to the back, I since got NFC keyrings, and put one in acetone until it dissolved, then took the antenna and chip, and put it under the back plate of the watch.
Interesting, thank you... I'm definitely going to be playing with this and will hopefully find a slick solution.

How did this work out for you? I'm wondering what tag/app combo worked. This would be an ideal way to unblock l unlock my phone...

I got the NFC band, but essentially, it was disappointing.... Usable, but not really what I was looking for.
I have since buckled and purchased a Smart Watch - LG G Watch R, so obviously use that for my unlock solution now
Hi. I have a Sony Z3. And the backlight had gone. I have had experience and removed the backlight resistor from the main board and just bridged the two connections. This solved the issue. I have also done it with the z,z1 and z2.
But I was wondaring as I dont know much about circuit boards. Will just bridging the connection cause any damage? Will it last long?
The phone is already out of warrenty.
I have soldered a Sony z and it has lasted a very long time. But can I expect the z3 to be the same?
Thanks for any help and wisdom!!
Hi
Can you take picture i have 6603 and same problem please help me
You have a two year manufacturer's warranty with Sony, and you don't need a proof of purchase.
Return it - unless you've voided it yourself.
dear
The warranty is void
I replaced lcd and frame when i did the brightness no work more
I need resistor location
Hi I've don't it a few times and it always worked. I don't have one to take a picture. But it's near the bottom left of the board . The component is black and has a little V in white on it. If the backlight is gone this component tends to have a burnt hole right in the middle.
I always need a microscope but if you have mega good eye sight you should find it. Hope this helps!
Solution in the attachment. Other fuse with letter "V" in lower left corner protects vibrator.

Do you happen to know how to fix a Xperia Z3 Compact with a similar issue?
I replaced the screen on my Xperia Z3 Compact and now when I turn it on nothing shows up no image and no backlight. But I can hear that the phone is working. Touchscreen makes clicking noise, and vibrator motor makes noise when clicking home button.
How can I make a jumper?
I have this prob too after replacing screen. First, the phone would work only if the the two final screws holding the assembly weren't screwed in. Now it doesn't work at all.
sent here from a member from another thread~
Sorry - but I was sent to this thread from a member in a reply to a thread I posted last week - they said I might have a better chance at finding answers here.
Here's my question (copy/pasted):
Hello, please forgive me if this is not the appropriate place or generally not the correct type of question to ask, I am new here & was directed to this site from my former trainer as a means of educating myself on the problems I am facing..
Let me first say that I am new to micro soldering, and have only been a certified micro solderer for a few weeks now.
I work for a privately owned company of mobile technicians and I am the sole solderer on staff. My company paid for my training and I would say I have a fairly decent grasp on general soldering repairs.
That being said, I am facing some big issues with backlight repairs. I have been successful in replacing components that have been obviously damaged or missing, but when all responsible components are seemingly in place & in working order - as far as I can see under the microscope - I cannot figure out how to diagnose which of these components has failed to communicate with it's sisters.
I have read a great deal online about jumping components, but I am really very much as a loss as to how I am supposed to be able to figure out which one(s) of these to jump or how to tell if they are in need of replacement - when no physical damage is present.
Any and all help in this area is welcome - I would really love it if I could get a better handle on these types of repairs.
If this topic already exists somewhere, or there is another place I should be looking - point me in that direction & I will follow.
Thanks~

Would you happen to know the location of the xperia Z1S backlight fuse also?
Hi there,
I have done lots of cellphone repairs and I know my things about smd soldering.
To answer your question : Will just bridging the connection cause any damage?
The answer is yes and no. By bridging the resistor you won't damage the Phone but the only thing you are doing is taking a safety measure out of the circuit. Next time there is a problem in that bridged circuit there will be no fuse more to blow out and the damage will be done to an other component in that circuit, most likely the power management IC, and those are way harder and have a much more higher fail rate in replacement.
So if you can find a replacement resistor on Ebay i suggest you buy it and replace the broken one. When replacements are not sold, we allways try to take them of another damaged motherboard we have laying around.
If those 2 options are not possible, bridging will be the only solution.
Grtz...

Hi.
Just bought a original flip cover for my Note 2 . But it does not wake or turn of the screen.
Am i missing something in settings. Im on Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly.
It sure has sensor that turn of screen when i hold it to my ear, so it should be possible (?)
After changing the launcher i really begin to like this phone.
Thanks
Knievel
There aren't settings about it. The prossimity sensor work while you are phoning, it turn off the screen when is near the ear.
For change the launcher go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Launcher
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~

Nope. I am not able to wake/turn of screen with flip cover so far.
Google Now launcher gives me the stock feeling i like, with app drawer etc.
And still have a lot of useful stuff in Miui os.
Had to flash Chainfires Supersu to change launcher and make it stick. Some trouble with permissions.
Did also uninstall a few annoying Chinese apps before i was happy with it.
Thanks
Knievel
nice cover.
Try to install any smart cover apps from google play..
hope it work.
Hello,
Can you please tell me where do you buy it? Can you please share à link?
Thank you
This cover claims it has auto-sleep/wakeup and even has video to demo that http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...For-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-2-With/32506925639.html
No idea if it actually works

Hi.
There is a lot of apps that make you able to wake/turn off screen with flip cover.
But all of them uses to much battery, and screen turn off when its not supposed to.
This flip cover seems to clearly have an app involved.
The main reason for me to have this function is to save battery.
Both my Nexus 5 and 6 have flip covers that uses some kind of magnetic function.
Maybe this phone doesent have the right hardware and has to use the proximity sensor.
Just my guess.
Thanks
Knievel
Yes the flip cover uses the magnetic sensor and a custom app.
I don't see why the magnetic sensor should use less battery than the proximity/light ones...
So I will buy a normal flip case.
Thank you.
I dont think this phone has magnetic sensor
No magnetic sensor present in the RedMi Note 2
The Redmi Note 2 must have a magnetic sensor, because it's working with the magnetic button of my ColorCross 2 virtual reality headset (I've taken this one because it's an open one, to prevent over-heating during games, but it's not the topic) on SwivelGun game (but it's better with à mini bluetooth gamepad).
To say, RN2 must have a magnetic sensor...

Nope, OTA, I didn't find anything, anywhere, but, hey, I've not searched... ^^

The magnetic sensor is like a mechanical switch, it doesn't need to be powered, but the proximity sensor needs to be powered to work...
Waiting for the same
I've enabled the required settings but my mobile does not respond to the (normal, without magnet) cover. I wished it used the proximity sensor, as done while calling.

I have been using "Gravity Screen - On/Off" app for years with my RN2 flip cover, it works like a charm.
I can recommend WaveUp.
It's free and open source; it works on Redmi Note 2 (at least with CyanogenMod 12.1) and you can install it via F-Droid or Play Store.
Hi
I am enable flip cover mode but by mobile restart now and it is now lock also not open pls help me.
Hey guys!
Unfortunately, my Honor 8 battery cover broke a few weeks ago. Now I've received my replacement part.
There are a lot of dissassebly-guides around, but none of them shows how to remove this module from the battery cover.
Can anybody tell me how the fingerprint sensor is connected to the battery cover?
According to this picture it seems that it is fixed just by adhesive:
http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Huawei-Honor-8-Teardown-10.jpg
So I am not sure how easy it will be to get it out (and in again).
Any guide or ideas on that? Maybe anyone of you already had to deal with it.
Thank you.

If you are not sure yourself, better to bring it to service center.

if u r not sure , dont do it ur self , u might brick something . give to pro of service center .
Thank you for your answers.
Well, I understand your advices, but this is not the first device I repair. I have experience in fixing broken displays, ect.
Anyhow, before I start, I always want to get an insight of what to expect. For honor 8 it seems quite easy to remote or change the battery cover, the only uncertain factor is how to swap the fingerprint sensor, because I've never dealed with something like that before.
So I appreciate any information on getting the fingerprint module from one battery cover to the other. If there are high chances to brick it while removing, I would buy a replacement module beforehand just to be save.
Thanks.

Get A small Sharp Blade And take it off it will come of then re-use it into the new back cover .
Send to repair center, you don't want to break it even more
