Hello Developers
I recently bought Z flip 3... nice phone... just have a challenge and need your advices here.
With the always on display on, and double tap activated .... the cover screen gets triggered randomly in my pocket whatever trousers I am wearing... seems its touch sensitivity is high...
How can I avoid this?
Note: the only way i found to avoid that is by disabling the double tap option to open screen and always on... but this is not the best option I want, as it makes the cover screen only opens with the on/off button
Thanks,
Gano

Get a holster? That's really the only option for it without replacing the functionality and being able to increase the required pressure.

Thanks for feedback. I have a cover already but not covering the cover screen. the only way i do right now is to put it in my pocket where the cover screen is facing the outside to avoid the random touches... i dont think this is the best way of protection but no other way so far.
The thing is, the cover screen doersnt have approximaty sensor by design, you can also see that the brightness is configured manually based on that... that's why I think the feature (Accidental touch protection) doesnt help with the cover screen.

It's the light sensor that's missing, but that is why there isn't an automatic brightness. It makes some sense, since you wouldn't want the light sensor that controls the screen on the outside. It would think it's dark every time it was on a table. That's not to say separate sensor would have been such a bad idea.
That's why you would want to increase the pressure. That would, at least, filter out some of the touches.

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.

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?
Since I am a newbie in this technology, what is a proximity sensor and what is it used for when it detects or does not detect something?.. I installed the proximity sensor finder app on my Nexus 6 and I could not tell any details except timer started when portion of phone front was covered YET the measurement displayed did not say anything other than 0 or 5.00000 etc.. I also use the phone in speaker mode ..
The proximity sensor is there to turn the screen off during a phone call when you move the phone to your head. It turns the screen back on when you move it away from your head after. On the 6P it is located below the speaker grill.
Thank you,, so the proximity sensor serves a power saving function? I just tested this with my Nexus 6 using a TruShield TGSP and it worked fine.. I find it strange that a clear glass screen protector would not work on the Nexus 6P ??

No, the purpose of it is to deactivate the screen when it's against your face on a call so that you don't press things on the screen with your ear/face.
Yes, it does save a little power (you can power off the screen while on a call), but is really helps the screen know when you have the phone to your face. This allows it to disable input so you don't hit buttons on the screen while on a call.
It's a neat feature, but adds some difficulty because not all screen protectors are cut out to allow it to function fully. Like those above said, it helps you by not pressing buttons while you're talking.
I would also assume that android uses the proximity sensor for "on body detection" to tell if it's in your pocket or out in the open etc.
I am having similar sort of issue, I have glass protector on nexus 6P and when I dial any number the screen will go black and will not come back until the other person hangs up. even the phone is not near my face, how strange. not sure how to resolve
I also have a problem of my screen not turning on if I move it away from my face. At first I thought it was proximity sensor dead, but I used the proximity sensor finder app and was able to see that it works fine if I cover it. So it could be a bug with dialer/caller app in Marshmallow. Or maybe there's a setting somewhere.
How to turn off the proximity sensor? I have a tgsp that does not have a cut out for the sensor.
Return the tgsp because it's defective. The newer revisions do not suffer from the defect.

My screen does not go dark when I put my 6P by my ear. How can I check if my sensor is on or off? TThanks
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.

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.

Hey, when i receive and accept a call, my screen immediately turns off. Like it should when i put my ear up to it. But during the call i cant do anything to get the screen to turn on. After the call i have to press the lock button and unlock it again to get it on.
1) bootloader unlocked
2) custom kernel?
3) stock ROM?
4) rooted?
6) What version of the OS are you on? MM 6.0.1 / .511
7) This is recent, tried with 2 different roms so it isnt rom reliant i guess.
8) When in service menu and testing the light sensor it responds on my hand covering the sensor so i don't think its faulty.

Clean your screen protector, if you have plastic protector REMOVE the screen protector.
Flash FTF with all WIPE options selected..

Mostly, screen protector cause that. Second sensors might be broken. Software is the last thing (if comes with stock)..
Go to *#*#7378423#*#* service test and go to proximity sensor, if it stays "ON" something is wrong with the proximity sensor, if you are absolutely 100% sure nothing is blocking your sensor, have you ever changed your display assembly? try pressing down around the top right of screen with a little force, both front and back if it switched to "OFF" when you press your screen there's a slight gap between your motherboard and front glass.

Holy this is it. I had to get my front glass replaced because it was shattered, when i press the screen it turns off, when i block the sensor it goes back to on again until i press on the screen. Also my vibrator motor seems to not function properly since, it sometimes doesnt vibrate at all, and sometimes with very little feedback. Could this also be a result of the replacement?

It could be the glue is not settling in correctly and adds very little gap than original one, did you replace the screen yourself? Mine showed this behavior I then reheat the edges of the screen with hair dryer then put pressure around the screen with those black paper clips, reheat it again then let it cool for about 2 hours.
I'm not entirely sure about the vibrator motor

I bought this phone second hand and it had this issue, What I did was hair dryer and paperclip. and ..... try a more ghetto solution, which involves opening the back door, put some foam and double tape it near the camera module, there's an empty space. Make sure it presses the motherboard but not too hard or it will compromise the waterproof glue holding the back cover.

Just for info is someone has this problem, i had small skin flake on the sensor hahahha.
