I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android Auto on a Mylnk system, and it works fine, except for this small quirk.
If the phone flip cover is open, everything works fine, and after a while the phone screen turns off, while the car Android Auto screen continues to work.
But if I close the flip cover, then the car Android Auto screen turns black.
Given Android Auto is smart enough not to turn off the car screen when the phone screen goes to sleep, I am suspecting a bug in the interaction between the Android Auto App and the Samsung Flip cover.
Anyone else witness this issue with other flip covers?
Any workaround aside from disabling the flip cover feature (which I Like outside of Android Auto)?
Thanks

Hi everyone, tonight i left my n6 unplugged, this morning i've checked the battery status and i noticed that my screen on graph tells me that screen keeps turn on and off, but it seems to behave this way only when the flipcover is closed and the screen doesnt actually turn on...can someone tell me why?

Most probably it's the fault of the flip cover which is allowing the proximity sensor to be turned on sometimes. Just check if there is any major gap between the screen and flip give while it's closed
does your flip cover have auto-on? I.e., does it use a magnet to automatically turn on the screen when you open it? that causes my display to periodically turn on and off while the cover is closed. I ended up getting a flip case without auto-on.
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.
I bought a folio case with magnet. However, when I fold it around the back (flush) the magnet triggers the Memopad's sensor and shuts it off.
I unchecked Settings -> ASUS customize settings -> Enable ASUS cover. The folio no longer triggers standby when closing from the front.
Something strange happens when the cover is wrapped around the back. The act of wrapping around the back does not trigger sleep (on or off). However, when the case is wrapped around the back:
- If the tablet is off, swiping at the lock screen unlocks the tablet, but it immediately turns it off.
- If the tablet is on, doing any action on the touchscreen turns the tablet off, except for . . .
- . . . pressing the home or return icons freezes the tablet until I move the cover.
The 'ASUS cover' toggle appears to be working correctly. The Memopad seems to wig out when a magnet is placed behind it.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
Hello All,
I've recently acquired a case for my Note 8. I'm not much of a case fan but I figured I'll take the plunge as the phone is too precious. I got a normal (fake) leather book type case.
Thing is, every time the phone is in the case, it for some reason acts like the pen has been taken out. When I pop it in, the screen off memo appears (Despite S Pen being still inside) and the Air Command icon stays on screen (I've now disabled that in the settings). Yet whenever the phone is out of the case, I have no issues with the S Pen.
When I put the phone into the case, I insert the bottom half in first, when the phone is at a fairly acute angle of like 20 degrees, screen off memo appears and the phone thinks the S Pen has been engaged for the duration of the phone being the case. This also happens if I insert the phone top first as well. Yet when I lift the phone back out (This is when the screen off memo appears when I'm putting the phone in), the screen off memo screen just goes off like I just put the pen back in. When the phone is in the case, I can't use the screen off memo either. Quite frustrating.
Is the phone case itself to blame ?

I got rid of the cases with magnets. The fake ones are worse. Try using your SPEN and run lines across the screen in snote or any other writint app.

I recently purchased a new Galaxy Watch 3, coming from my trusty Gear S3. One thing that is annoying me to no end is this "Screensaver" feature when the watch goes to sleep while an app is open. Pretty hard to describe so here is a video with a side by side comparison between the Watch 3 and my Gear S3.
photos.app.goo.gl/YiaqCt8L5rL2mncE7
Both watches have the exact same watch face. Notice that when the Watch 3 goes to sleep while on anything but the Watch face, it switches to this stupid Digital screensaver. The net effect of this is that 90% of the time when the screen is in "always on" mode it uses this stupid screensaver instead of my chosen watchface.
I should not that I am using a custom WatchMaker watch face.
Is there anyway to disable this "feature" so that it behaves like the S3?
I noticed the same! I expect it is because of the too small battery. Its not always on exactly, its always on to a Screensaver.
Would be nice to be able to change it...
Same here. I'd like to kill this "feature", i.e. when timed out revert to the "Always on" watchface, not the default screensaver.
Mine does this too, but falls back to the Watch Face AOD after about 20 secs. I think it was actually designed this way to allow you to go back to the screen you were on before the screen saver was triggered, by pressing the top button.

Mine doesn't fall back to AOD watch face at all. It can stay all day on the "screensaver watchface". That's what I'd like to switch off.
Reducing the time, but still not a fix

I'd love to get rid of this screensaver watch face as well, however, as others have mentioned, for me it also goes away fairly quickly. In your Galaxy Wearable app, if you go into "Display", what setting do you have under "Show last app". Mine is currently set to "When screen turns on again within 20 seconds". Unfortunately, there is no "off" for this, and 20 seconds is the minimum. If you have this set higher (e.g. to 1hr) I wonder if you'd see what you are seeing.
Regardless, if anyone figures out how to disable this, I'd love to know as well!
Same issue here. It is annoying. Following.
Same problem coming from the Galaxy Watch to the Watch3. Following hoping for a solution.
