HI, i want to be able to disable the magnet in MM, currently use xposed module but it is only compatible with LP, does anybody have any solutions or ideas to get this accomplished in MM?
Is it too simple an idea to suggest losing the cover and swapping to another that doesn't have magnets?
Not trying to be clever, just asking what seems to be the obvious question - if you don't want the magnet functionality, why buy it?

Ha...fair question. The problem is that I use a magnetic stand/mount in my car (by far the best stand to use in your car) and whenever I put it on the mount my screen turns off. The module would simply disable that.

Recently I was getting a kinda weird effect. My compass now always directs to the bottom of the phone/screen, except when it is in open state. I think I have magnetized some parts somehow, and it is kinda disturbing when I want to use Layar or anything else what uses the built-in magnetometer.
Is there any way to fix this?
Theoretically putting the device into a simple depolarized magnetic field would solve the problem, but I don't know if it will damage the phone itself or not.

There are no magnetic components in the phone.
That means that it can't be magnetized.
I'm sorry to say that your magnetic field sensor itself is shot.
Note that putting the thing into a demagnetizer, if the sensor wasn't already dead, would DEFINITELY destroy it.
How do I demagnetize my cell phone screen
Actually phones have a magnet for the compass function and apps such as google maps to show which direction you are facing. Also, if you put your phone near magnets a lot it might magnetize metal parts in the phone messing up the compass. Demagnetized get your phone would demagnetize both the unintentional magnets and the magnetic compass. Please don't do that.
I have one of the cases with the magnetic sleep/wake function. It works in stock, but not when running CM10. Is there some way to enable this feature? I puttered in the settings, but couldn't find anything.

It should work when you open the case though I have had times when it doesn't. No one seems to have figured it out for closing as of yet though.
Does anyone know a way to disable the magnetic sensor that locks and unlocks the screen? I use a Steelie Nite Ize http://www.niteize.com/product/Steelie-Car-Mount-Kit.asp as a car mount and the magnet immediately locks my phone.
I know on previous phones I used someone usually finds a way to disable this feature. But I cannot find anything for the Nexus 6.
Any help is appreciated!

I'm having the same issue as well!!! This is tremendously annoying.
I bought the Logitech dashboard/windshield magnetic mount just yesterday and tried to unlock my phone while connected to it and as soon as it locked back again I immediately thought - "MAGNET! Damn!"
To me a magnetic solution seems most elegant since you don't have to release any mechanisms to remove or place your phone but obviously it loses it's function when you can't even unlock your device. I can't find ANYTHING on the Nexus 6 magnet on the net. I've seen a couple of things about the Nexus 7 magnet and apparently IT has an option to disable the lock function unlike the Nexus 6.
I'll keep looking into it as best as I can but if anyone has any insight into how to disable this function it would be greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if there's maybe a kernel level command/modification like the one that disables the hidden LED on our phones that could disable it.
There's an app called Magnet Unlocker that definitely detects the magnet and gives you a meter/readout of magnetic field strength that's supposed to let you configure behaviors based on the magnet being activated and also lets you adjust the sensitivity but i can't seem to make it do anything. Maybe you guys can try and have success with it. I found it here:

Hi, I am trying to find a solution to disable the magnetic sensor on the Nexus 6. I have bought a magnetic car cradle and wanted to place the small magnetic piece over the M dimple between my phone and hard case, but every time it shuts the screen off and I can't turn it back on. I have tried to install xposed but I am on android 5.1 and can't get it to work. Would love to hear any solutions or suggestions. The cradle is the Steelie by Nightize
There is no option yet tot disable the magnet sensor.
An option is to fix/glue a metal on the outside of the hard case about 1 cm below the M-logo.
On my N6 the magnet is than not activated.
I am using 2 hard cases.
In the car a hard case with metal.
The MagnetOff Xposed module does work for the Nexus 6 running 5.0.1, I just got it set up yesterday. I know you're on 5.1 so that may not be super helpful, but there is an alpha version of Xposed working on 5.1. Since it's an alpha not all modules are working and you may encounter bootloops so make sure you backup before doing anything. The MagnetOff module isn't listed in the working or non-working module list I found so it probably hasn't been tried yet. As a last resort you could always downgrade back to 5.0.1.
Has anyone found any updated solutions ? I too have the same issue with a magnetic car mount.
Still curious
I too am curious, or maybe a mechanical solution. Any ideas?
I have a wallet case with a magnet in it and when I wrap one side to the back of the phone I get this annoying sound.
youtube link: /watch?v=Whl31v7fKIo
I thought it was a docking sound because of the magnet in the case, but i removed all the suspected sounds from system/media/ui, but I still keep getting it
If anyone knows what this sound is and where it is so I can remove it, I will be eternally grateful.

No idea but for information purposes, the wireless charging sound (which is different to this) if you remove it, still plays. You have to replace it with a silent .ogg file.

Probably NFC, if you have that enabled. Try disabling.

Yep. Definitely NFC trying to scan one of your cards. Happens to lot of people. Lol
