S view cover display on third party cover - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I have a third party flip cover on my s7. It looks exactly the same as the official. The settings, I believe under accessories, for s view is automatically hidden, because the official flip cover has a chip in the cover which activates the setting.
My question: Is there any bypass so S View works on third party flipcovers? The setting is there, it only needs to be activated.

I had an issue with an official not working and found out when I debloated my phone, the NFC stuff got wiped. If your NFC doesn't work then the s-window wouldn't either

Well, what I am looking for is more the setting for S View. So I can manually activate it. I have seen it under Marshmallow and under Nougat it's hidden. It's too bad I can't post an image, because I am new.
I tried to activate NFC, it works but nothing S View related.

What do you mean? It doesn't open the app directly but sliding cover away seems easy enough...
I just made a video of what I see. Does yours react the same way?

Yeah, mine looks the same. My point is that when I use Active Display to unlock my phone, I'd like it to unlock completely, not open my lockscreen. Cover is simply doubling my effort to unlock my phone, with the only added benefit being that mini-launcher which I may or may not end up using. But unlocking my phone sans Cover opens my launcher anyway, so where's the added benefit? Plus, opening a notified app through Active Display (id est, dragging your finger up to a notification) just puts Cover in the way.
tl;dr - Cover provides Active Display users little to no benefit, and kinda just gets in the way, so what's the point?
I, along with (as of writing this) 30-ish other Play Store reviewers, will be waiting for the app to support Active Display before using it.

[Q] customis the smart cover lock screen

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.

black circle blinking around the front camera

Hi guys,
I have the Note 10 plus and my wife bought last week the note 10 lite.
The lite have a circle around blinking around the front camera and the plus don't have this.
I searched everywhere and din't find an answer about what is that....
Any help?!
Did you buy the 10 lite used? I have a 10lite with aod notify installed it shows a ring around camera for notifications. So if you bought it used maybe its installed. Other than that not sure. Camera also has a lighted ring when you switch between front camera and rear camera, but its white.

No. It's brand new.
And I have the AOD notify in my Note 10 plus.
It's like a sensor. And just happens with the screen on.
The animation around the front camera appears when you are set to face unlock.

same thing
Same situation here, it has nothing to do with face unlock or notification system, tried everything, always the same thing. Its like popping up around front camera every 5-6 seconds when on lock screen, and sometimes when scrolling through certain apps. Maybe some kind of camera-cut-out-pixels protection? Its an odd software behavior without any explanation from Samsung.
Maybe your smart stay is turned on, try to disable it under Motion and Gestures in the settings.
It appears during a video call too, and looks like a larger circle, like that one the other samsung products.
Also sry, for being off topic, i wanted to know how is your s pen working, because the nib of mine feels a little loose.
It is as @j.canlas mentioned. Smart Stay is tuned on, it checks if you are facing directly on the screen or not (to lock the display). I also kept on searching for what it was when the device was new to me, it bothered me a lot.
You can disable/enable it under Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures.

This is the correct explanation for the infrequent circle around the camera.

Proximity Sensor Location/Issues

Was trying to verify the Easy Mute motion (hand over screen or flip to mute calls or alarms), and it does not seem to work in either folded or unfolded configuration. I also tried running AndroSensor and that shows no change in sensor when I cover the top half of either screen. Anyone else having similar problems, or is it working as expected for them.

I just tried it myself and turning over the phone definitely muted the incoming call (with the phone open or closed) Also the palm gesture worked (cover screen only) but that was slightly more difficult as you really have to cover the whole screen for a couple of seconds.
I also used AndroSensor (and another app) and noted the proximity sensor was present but wasn't showing a reading. Obviously it is working (and works when holding phone to ear by turning screen off for example).
So I am not sure why it's not working for you.

Thanks for checking.
Did some more testing, the flip gesture seems to be working for incoming calls with the Google Phone app, and alarms created by the Samsung Clock app, but not the Google Clock app or Calendar notifications. Using the Google Phone app once the call is established, then the screen does turn off when held close to a head when folded. So seems like the sensor is working, in some situations, which means it is probably software related, rather a hardware defect. I really don't want have to reconfigure my setup up again.
The Google Phone app also has a setting flip to mute, which was not set. So I flipped that to true.
I had previously written a Tasker profile to mute everything (enter Do Not Disturb) on a Pixel 3XL, before Google implemented it at the OS level, so I may try that here.
Certainly seems like a conflict with the Google phone app. The gesture settings are OneUI features so they are unlikely to work with a different dialer.

I think the problem is that the Samsung implementation is to hook into a small subset of their applications to do a local mute, where as Google implementation just invoked Do Not Disturb, which meant every application would mute, assuming they are compliant. I think DND was slightly flakey on OS9, but from OS10 onwards it was rock steady.
To bring clarity to my local behaviour, I enabled my Tasker method that engaged DND when the phone is flipped. Works in both folded and unfolded configurations. As a bonus with Join, I have a method that automatically distributes DND to my other devices.

Question Any way to fix accidental touches when phone is in pocket?

Hi guys!
So, I've been using this phone for a while on stock ROM and I noticed that the screen automatically turns on and there are random touches when my phone is in the pocket. Today, it got so bad that my phone went to the camera app and took some photos, switched to video and recorded some videos while in the pocket.
I have already enabled accidental touch protection in settings but that doesn't seem to work. So, basically, I was wondering if someone managed to fix that, perhaps with a third-party application.
I also have root so if there is an xposed module or magisk module to fix this, do let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Use a case with raised display guard (as you should anyway).
Turn display away from your skin.

already use one and I don't like keeping the display away from skin because then I have to turn the phone around after taking it out from pocket.
I disabled double tap to wake for now because of this. I really hope they fix this bug on One UI 5 but I doubt it.

Disable the tap to wake and lock feature, if you use Always on display select its tap to show function. these should solve your problem.
