I have a imagnet car holder for my one m8..problem is whenever I attach it the magnet makes the screen either go black or brings it into dot mode... How can I disable this and make it just stay on my map screen? Thank you
If you are rooted you can uninstall the dot view app. That's what i did.

The way the dot view case works is it has a little magnet in it that tells the phone it is installed, so you hvae to disable the dot view service. Not sure if there's a way to do it without being rooted.
That combined with the curved back not playing very nicely with staying in one position when plugged in is why I ended up giving away my iMagnet.
guys..i had exactly same issue and below is the solution which worked great for me.
In /system/customize/ACC/default.xml change the value of the line that says "case cover" to false. By default it says true or 0. I don't remember. You'll have to make a copy of the file, edit it, and then overwrite the old one with a root browser. Keep a backup of the old one just in case

I bought a new Note 3 - like case for my Note 2 from aliexpress.com. It looks great and works well. Although, theres an issue with it (or the phone's sensor). The proximity sensor doesn't detect the closed cover when it touches the sensor (or when it's very close to it). This is explained in the YouTube video below. Please check and post your responses. Also, try the apk given in the link description there, and post your valuable feedback.. Thank You!:good:

The problem originates from the dark color of the case. In order to solve the problem, just cut out a small strip of a light colored (white or light yellow) sticky paper, and stick it to the internal side of the case in such a way that it comes exactly on the proximity sensor when the case is closed. You will see that it is working.
EDIT: The apk is also problematic. I checked it with my cover (I have the same cover, but its internal color is white). It closes the screen perfectly but when I open it, it turns the screen on then immediately off. I have to close and open it to turn the screen on. What I suggest is you use "Style View Cover" apk from googleplay. I am using it without any problem.

Please let me know.
So I have a new magnetic mount for my car and when I put my phone on it the screen will turn black and lock.
When I hit the power button it will turn on to the lock screen and if I unlock the phone it will go to a black screen and none of the android buttons appear.
If I take it off the mount it works just fine.
I checked around and didn't see any dock settings or anything related to that.
Is there a way to disable this or figure out how to get around it?
Using MeanPop2.0 5.1 update.
So it looks like I need to find a way to disable the hall sensor.

You using a case to mount the magnet-to-magnet connection from phone to mount?
I have a case with the metal sheet inside the case covered with some tape. When i dock my phone to the mount it sticks perfectly and no issues.
I dont know if this will be any help but Magnet Unlocker in Play Store might help disable this?
Cant post link, noob here still.
same here
Exactly the same issue with my N6 on the magnetic dock...
Had this been resolved? I'm having the exact same issues. Sometimes I get it to work with a reboot. But it's annoying.
Have you guys checked settings - > display -> daydream?
There is an option for when it docks, I'd suggest turning that off. Just a guess, I don't have anything magnetic to check.
It could also be tripping a magnetic "off"; say if you had a flip cover, it would turn the display off when you closed the cover.

I had exactly the same problem, with my LG Power X. Solved it by moving the metal plate to be higher in the case. Found that the magnet switched off screen and only displayed clock - when it attached to the lower half of phone; but when i moved the magnet around i found only certain spots triggered the display switch off. I suspect there is a magnetic sensor in the phone for some kind of docking feature.
Is there any way to disable the magnetic sensor on the N6? I have a smart cover that keeps constantly turning the screen on in my pocket and it's killing my battery. It is a very nice luxury case and I don't want to damage it or replace with another cover. I tried finding an app that would do it but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dont think there is a way to disable it yet.
Although i read elsewhere its located in /sys/module/ and adding a '0' or 'false' to the value will disable. Issue is still not located the magnetic sensor, older devices it was in /sys/module/lid/parameters/lid_enabled.
But no luck on N6 yet
has anyone had any luck using an app to accomplish this?

Found nothing to disable the magnet sensor.
Installed Xposed and a MagnetOff app. But it did not disable the magnet sensor.
Because I cannot disable that feature, I decided to use it.
On the outside of my belt case I attached a small magnet (glue) and now my screen is always off when the N6 is in the case.
When I take the N6 out of the case the screen turns on. No need for pressing a button.

you sure the screen is always off when it's in your case? like the OP, I found that my screen would periodically come on when using a flip case that has the auto on feature (while closed).

When de magnet is close to the circle with the Motorola logo the screen is switched off.
I am using a flat neodymium magnet with a diamater of 10 mm.
Because the case is partly open at the top, I can see that the screen is really off when the N6 is in the belt case.

When you are unsure if the screens will be turned off when the N6 is in the case, use a stronger magnet.
I mounted with glue a magnet at the outside and put a second one on the inside.
So I am using two small magnets.
any developer willing to dig into this issue to try to find a solution?
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.
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.
