There was a thread about this somewhere but the user was ridiculed.
Now the same thing is happening to my Nexus 7.
I pick it up and it wakes up. Automagically.
The first few times I thought I'd touched the power button but no, it's doing it by itself.
Not every time but often enough to it appear like it's a feature not a fault/freak/haunted.
Anyone else experience the same thing?
EEK Now it's switching off when I put it down!
Define wakes up.
Powers on, or just the screen turns on?
Screen turning on is typically controlled by a magnetic field, like a cover with a magnet.
Or a game, watching the accelerometer...
Well I could delete the thread but I'll give you a laugh ..
The Nexus 7 is in a TPU case but it's resting on top of my leather case .... which has magnets in it.
Only just realised :cyclops:

If you like the new arrangement, check out NFC Task Launcher.
An NFC tag could turn off your display when you set it down, and turn it on when you pick it up. And a lot of other things...

wake up button misplaced
sériously i had this 2 or 3 times in 3 months, I have no case and I have no screen lock because I am at home.
But This could be a very good feature I would pay for it because it is very painful and boring to find and activate the wake up button when in the dark.
Most of the time it is opposite your available finger.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium HD app
No. All the products that say they will "fix" scratches are basically abrasives that wear the entire screen down to the scratches level. This is like throwing water on an oil fire. Seems like a good idea but the results aren't the intended ones.
There are only two options that actually work:
1. New device/screen.
2. Screen protector to diminish the appearance of the scratches.
Take a knife and stab your screen like your crazy. Then, call the company and tell them they shipped you a jacked up phone.

You're going to need to throw the phone on a concrete tile, face-down. You should not be able to see the scratch anymore. If needed, repeat the procedure.
Unfortunately, no. Like other posters have said, slap a screen protector on it to diminish the scratch. Anti-reflective protectors do a good job, IMO, of hiding small blemishes, but not everyone likes how they make the screen look.

Lol! She's a severe clinical insomniac (on 15+ prescriptions from the same doctor, multiple diagnoses). She has to take some of her pills with food, and occasionally falls asleep (spontaneously passes out) while eating. So, when she wakes up sometimes, there are dishes on her nightstand. We she was handing me her dishes as I was going to the kitchen, tossed the fork, didn't realize I'd be fondling my new phone and wasn't looking.
Edit: However, she is Irish, and pissing her off is NOT a good idea, so your advice is still good.

Hello everyone,
I bought on ebay this smartcover since I saw that lots of people were talking great about it (like being the best cover for Nexus 7). After some days of use, I found out that my lockscreen bugs quite a lot and I'm not always able to unlock my device if it's in the smartcover, and yesterday I found out a strange use of the system, like it drained my whole battery without using it.
Anyone is experiencing same issue? Shall I go for another cover?
Thanks everyone,

I actually can't believe you just posted this, I've had this case for a couple of months and literally last night started putting the battery issue down to the fact that the case/cover may be waking the tablet when it shouldnt.
Also I've noticed that maybe like 50% of the time, when you open the cover it doesn't unlock, other half of the time it does?
Same issues?!

Seems were in the same boat here, as I went through 3 cases until I found this.
Loved it but these issues are doing my head in.
From what I can see, if you close the case, then turn it to its front, the front of the case is still raised.
This could cause the sensor to think its not closed sometimes?
I dno, just pondering.
But do it and tell me if your case does this, like if you look at it from the front and top, theres a gap between the case and screen.
I hope you understand what I'm saying there

Thats what I believe it is, due to the front part of the cover not actually touching the screen EVER, I'm just thinking that every so often, the Nexus just thinks its not there, wakes up and then the cover is activated again and then goes back to sleep, then back into deepsleep.
Thats my theory, but I'm still keeping the case, its great

I have another case shown with another problem, used to get random screen offs, then it become more worse over time, to the point whilst I was actively using the tablet the screen would go off constantly, i now use it it out of the case until now to take a photo.....guess what? I couldn't type in my pin number.
Makes me think that with my problems and the OP problems, may I know why the official cases from Asus don't have a magnet inside.

I have more or less the same cover (mine has a leather piece that covers the bezel... which doesn't bother me). It does work well and it looks great. And I've had no issues with the smart lock (but my N7 is set to go into airplane mode whenever the cover closes, so that may have something to do with it). I would recommend it.

To be clear, I was talking about the one you posted, not the one from the original poster.
As I said, mine is a bit different than that one... http://www.hipstreet.com/hipstreet-asus-google-nexus-7-rotating-case/
The rotating is the best part of the cover. I know people who have smart covers that fold back and the magnets turn off the screen from behind. I can just rotate mine and avoid that problem. Also, as shown in the promo pictures, the rotating is good for standing the pad up in both portrait and landscape. When it's closed it looks like a moleskine notebook, so I can carry it to work and meetings and look professional.
That said, it did fall of the top of my counter onto a tile floor and landed on its side with no damage. No guarantees, but I was happy.
(And I got it cheaper than the MSRP from Staples Canada... $29 as I recall.)
I have the same case as the OP and I have issues with it locking itself when its open but that may be the magnet triggering the lock from the back side of the device. I've also noticed some battery drain with the cover closed, almost as if its being locked/unlocked throughout the day.

Just got my phone now.
I noticed that there were concentrated scratched in the middle of the phone of the protector. I was little afraid that the scratched went through the default screen protector(cover, plastic thing), so I peeled it off and have a look at it. It looks like there wasn't any scratch on the screen, so I'm OK.
But I'm a little concern why there was a scratch there in the first place. I'll probably email google about this.
I wouldn't worry about it too much
As long as your phone is ok then they won't do anything about it
Well now you know why they put it on before it ships. And exactly what kind of answer are you expecting from Google? Just curious..
Maybe they sent you an RMA. Lol jk
No, sometimes while packaging it happens, nothing to worry about. I remember my GS2 came in like that.

I'm sure no one wants to see their phone with scratches when they first open the box? It wasn' just like one scratch, it was quite a few and quite deep. If you put your fingers across it, you can feel the rough areas.
Thought I warn some people to check carefully when they got theirs in this batch. Wasn't expecting anything from google unless I see some damage on it. i didn't turn on my phone yet, so going to do that when I get home from work.

Hi all, quick question. If I root my nook hd, will my magnet case stop working? And by that I mean how it turns on when I open and off when I shut the case. Thanks!
It will still work fine with just a root. If you install a CM Rom then it will still work with a little hitch: sometimes opening the cover won't turn the screen on, so close it and open it again and it will then come on. It's a bug in every CM and CM based Rom. Not a big deal, really.

It's not a usability issue though, is annoying at most sometimes but it never amounts to a feeling that I can never enjoy my tablet or feel as if a case with a cover is the worst creation for this device.

I have lost over 20 lbs just from lifting my Nook HD cover 2 times every time I want to use it. My just think if I lifted 4 times each time.
Just kidding, it would be nice if it was that easy.
I just bought a magnetic cover & using CM 10.2 and I don't seem to have that minor issue about having to open & close the cover.
Ok if I may ask a very simple & probably stupid question, how does the magnet make the tablet go into sleep mode or whatever it does?
Thank you,
Mark :silly:
I can't say I've had the problem of the device not waking up when I open the cover (Poetic slimline). If this would happen I just put my thumb on "n" or a finger on the power button, as I would if I didn't have a magnetic cover or when it shuts down with the cover opened.
If that's an annoyance, just go back to stock and problem is solved!

It may be worth checking if your magnet is actually present and "strong enough."
For my Nook HD+, I have a third party cover which has a working magnet.
I recently bought an official B&N cover for the HD+ and it doesn't work at all (stock ROM).
Check ebay, i found genuine b&n magnetic case for 7 bucks there. New and in box, free shipping. There were several sellers had them and many cheap. Got mine auction on third try only bidder... There were so many listed it was quite easy to snag one.
And i am on cm 10.2 and it works just fine.
Kudos to ASUS for producing such a robust product.
Last October (Halloween to be exact) my family and I went the local Science Center (my son's favorite destination) for the kid's Halloween party. I of course brought my N7 to stay occupied while he soaked up SCIENCE & FUN...
After a long day, we head home stopping for dinner. As I go to load my son into the car after dinner, I put my N7 on the roof....
As we travelled up the interstate we heard a weird whistling noise that lasted for 10 minutes or so before "going away"....
At home I realized what must have happened....:crying:
Flash forward to last week...I get a call.
The guy :angel: on the other end asks "did you lose a tablet?" YES!....Holy Cow...you can't be serious....
Seems he plugged it in and a little while later it was able to boot to the lock screen where I had my contact info....
We set a time to meet and I got my N7 back. :highfive:
I plugged it in and what do you know, it seems to be fine.
N7 (no sleeve, no nothing) in a zippered 2-up CD case I had lying around...survived flying off the top a car at 70mph....almost 6 months outdoors....IOWA winter....sub-zero temps...snow....ice....rain...
Only damage: 1" piece of the silver trim on the bottom right corner is broken... WOW!

Yeah the Nexus 7 was a good device if you didn't have to RMA. But apart from the screen being faulty, there was a bad EMMC which cause slow crawl speeds on the tablet until 4.3 implemented FSTRIM automatically at a certain battery threshold. I just ran it via script and I didn't have any problems none the less.

I must have been extremely lucky too in that I never had any of the problems others seem to have had with the 2012 N7...
Needless to say I have been babying it since I got it back
I guess that really demonstrates the usefulness of a decent case for it.
Any device that falls you have a 50/50 chance of the screen cracking. I know my old thunderbolt I dropped it many times and the screen didn't crack. Then that one day it fell just right and the screen shattered. Maybe one day they can make a screen that's shatterproof but if they did we wouldn't buy new replacement devices lol. I wouldn't say I am very careful with my tablet but I have dropped it a few times and so far it hasn't cracked yet.
