Hi!
First of all, I was looking for this specific question and answer but I cannot found it, and sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina.
I have Android 5.0.2 ROM (retail USA upgrade, not a custom one) and I bought a flip cover with magnet. I was wondering that I cannot use the phone when it is in the cover! I just put the unlock patron and the phone locks inmediately.
I uncheck the option about the Start button locks the phone (Security menu), but stills turn off the display, there is no way to use it!
With the phone outside the cover, I bring the phone near the rear part of the case, and the tab with the magnet and do the same! turns the displays off. So I think both of the pieces are magnetized.
1) Is there any solution?
2) My battery will drain using the case?
Thank you in advance.

Hello there, I bought a wallet cover to my Lumia 920 (if needed, google it, i couldn't post the link) and I wanna know if there's any way to lock/unlock the screen without pressing any button, just openning/closing the cover. Maybe something that works with call sensor that turns the screen off when near the ear.
Well, this would be amazing.
Thanks !
No. Not only would that require that the proximity sensor be continuously active, it would also mean that, if your phone was (for example) sitting next to you on the desk the way mine is, every tim my hand moved past it in range of the sensor it would come on. This would be quite bad for battery life.
Hi guys, I have the following problem - I have a LG G3 and when I'm riding my bike, there is no way to unlock my screen. My bike case covers the light sensor and the tap option does not work, if by any means I manage to light up the screen with the back button (the case back is hard), the I can operate my phone without taking it out of the case. I tried searching for a simple app to light my phone screen from my watch, but with no success. Is there anything or I just have to use Open on phone every time? This is not meant to be use while driving, it's just that it is not that easy to remove the phone from the case every time I want to reply to a message or see something. Thank you!

The way I get around it is setting screen lock type to NONE (not swipe) on my Galaxy S6 when cycling, but I'd also be interested in an app that does this.

That sounds nice, but how do you light up your screen? Other phones have their buttons on the side and it would not be a problem, but with LG's back button design and hard back of case it is problematic.
My smart cover screen is showing without having the case on, which means i cant get into my phone. I open my phone from the power button and shows a black screen with a rectangle shape showing the time and date. In a nutshell its reading that the case is on but it isnt, any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thank You

Strange but nevertheless, you can permanently switch off Smart Cover:
Settings / Smart Assistance / Smart Cover / Off (see attachement)
Btw, one of many small but unnecessary battery eaters (for those, most of us, who don't have Cover case).

Maybe you can trick the phone: make a call to the phone and if it allows you to unlock the screen, open Settings (by putting in-call screen to the background) and permanently disable Smart Cover
hello, did u fix it? if so tell me how please, am having same problem

Uhhh he/she cant get in her/his phone so she/he cant get to setting
Same problem here, did you fix it?
Hello ! Did you fix this issue ? I have exactly the same problem even if I don't have a "smart cover", my phone is in this mode and so the screen is blocked. And as I am on "plane mode", I can't call it and remove or change something. Thanks for your answer !
Hi folks,
I recently ordered what appeared to be original huawei p9 replacement screen together with metal frame and replaced broken screen. Phone now boots normally, I can also boot to fastboot and recovery, but unfortunately phone doesn't have ADB debugging and OEM unlock turned on.
When phone boots normally, I can get only to the lock screen of "Smart view" or "cover view", so I cant unlock phone or anything else. I tried also with mouse via OTG, no luck...
Anyone have some other idea that I can try? If i could enter settings to turn off cover screen all would be good
Cover is usually detected by magnet.
Could you try to play with some magnet or cover from another phone to get it unlocked for once.
Maybe, making an incoming call could help to unlock.
Once you get in (?), go to Settings, Smart Assistance and permanently switch off Smart Cover - it's by default on, most people don't have the cover and IMO it helps draining the battery

I tried the magnet, no luck. Also incoming call is impossible since I get no SIM pin input prompt at startup... Any other ideas?

You can move SIM to another phone and disable PIN, then put it back to Huawei.
Not sure would it help, you may have hardware problem with the replacement parts or work
To clarify this issue - the problem was in charging board, so changing it solved the problem. Other solution (if everything else works) is to remove charging board, boot the phone and disable smart cover in settings & then inserting charging board back.
Hi!
I know is not a new phone but I just bought a really cheap sealed axon m, everything works perfectly except for the dual and extended mode, the keys on the M bar are grey and I can only use the AA mirror mode, I read online about people using magnets to make it work and I tried, it does, but it's kinda annoying having to carry a magnet for the phone, is there a way to lock the dual mode so it's always on when I unlock the device like the AA mode?
Or is there a way to make the phone believe that it's always unfolded so it let me use the other modes?
Thank you!
Get a super thin 1mm neodymium magnet and place in the back in the dished out area using double sided tape. Play around with location and polarity to enable. 1mm allows the phone to still fold.
