So I have been using the genuine Samsung clear view case for some time now and have never had an issue with it until now.
All of a sudden the phone does not react when the flip case is opened or closed, before it would change/hide the screen to reveal a clock + notifications whenever it was closed. Now the display seems to be always on an unaffected by the flip case being closed.
I assume this will also have an affect on being able to accept/reject calls with the case closed etc.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue and/or tell me what is causing it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I would like to try an official S-View case (the one with a small window up top, NOT the clear-view case), but I don't understand how it works with the Always-On Display. The Always-On display moves up and down the screen to prevent burn-in, but sometimes it seems to be displayed lower than the S-View window, which would defeat the purpose if the S-View case does not modify its behavior.
Does anyone have this case and used it with the Always-On Display ? Are there any moments when the display text is displayed outside of the S-View window and thus not visible ?
Thanks !
Not using one but plan to get it. I'd imagine always on display will be unavailable with the s-view cover or the clear view cover for that matter.
Always On Display is not available when you use Clear View Cover.
I have the S-View Cover and the Always On Display function does not work with it. I'm thinking about getting the LED flip cover.
Thanks everyone. It seems that many people on other forums are also upset that the always-on display does not work with the case, and not even with the Clear View case ! Another proof (combined with the quite high battery drain and lack of full notification display) that the Always-On Display was an afterthought from Samsung, they didn't plan it from the beginning. Hopefully a software update addresses these issues, until then I can't see the reason to get one of these cases.
I love this case..the led view is hard plastic and this one, all though fake, feels like leather.
No always on, but I don't care. The ability to take pics cover open, closed or folded over is fantastic. Also see all the notifications without opening. Had one on my note 4 and I'll get one on note6 or s8.
I just received this leather wallet case from AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...ather-Card-Holder-Frame-6-32/32824388330.html
I like the build, form and function of the case, but it has been causing my phone to behave VERY strangely making my phone unusable. Opening/closing the case causes the phone to behave as though I have removed/replaced the S-Pen stylus.
To be more specific:
1. When the phone is locked and I open the flip on the case, I hear the same sound as when I remove the S-Pen stylus and S-Note opens in the locked screen mode.
2. When the phone is unlocked and I open the flip case, I hear the sound and the S-Pen selection wheel opens.
Very strange.
Has anyone else seen anything like this with any other case?
Might there be a magnet in the flip part of the case that is causing this behavior?
Is there a software setting that my alleviate the strange behavior?
Thanks in advance,
Rich
There must be a magnet somewhere in the case

I factory reset my phone to wipe all personal data and make it as new again. But as soon as it turned on again, It displayed the Huawei logo as always, then the logo of my carrier, and then got stuck in this weird screen (see photo) where nothing i press or swipe will give any reaction.
Tried the hard reset by pressing up and down volume and power at the same time. A different screen appeared for a second mentioning EMUI and below Installing update 5% and then suddenly an error appeared (see second photo).
Please dear experts here, let me know what is going on... I love this phone and was very happy with it until I decided to the factory reset which on other phones always helped me get original performance back.
EDIT: well this forum wont let me post links as a new member, i guess that includes images. so let me try like this

hope that works
No idea why but it's showing the smart cover lock screen when its supposed to only show with a Huawei P9 smart cover that is closed on the screen.
oh so you're saying it's showing the screen as if there was a cover on it? that would make so much sense because i've had the display replaced just a day before... so maybe they didnt do it right and now the phone has some pressure on the LCD and thinks it's a cover?
Yes, exactly as you said, it is thinking the phone has a smart cover on it.
How the smart cover works is phones is that they have a magnet on the smart cover that where if you were to put a magnet at the exact spot on the screen it will trigger the hall effect sensor (The spot where the phone would be told that the smart cover is closed).
Yeah sounds like something went wrong with the screen replacement but it's rather rare for this to happen as it would require an magnet to trigger the smart cover sensor.
so weird... i hope they can fix that issue it's still not working but i will bring it back today. thanks for explaining how the smart cover works!
do you know by any chance on which part of the screen those triggers are? or that trigger magnet, if there's only one?

did you manage to resolve the issue? i currently have this problem
smart cover works with magnet. One of the quick fixes is to take a magnet and pass it over the screen. As i believe because im working for huawei they send us some devices and seems like the microphone or the speaker was moved. Those two have magnet and so it conflicts with the smart cover. Try as i said to pass a magnet from the screen and see if that would fix it. I am going to highlight That, This is happening due a hit, drop or misplaced speaker or microphone.

then you are going to have a factory repair because its either the mic or the speaker in a bad position and its activating the smart cover since both of them have a magnet in order to work.
Has anyone got a flip cover for this phone that turns the screen off when you close it? Various reviews mention this phone has a hall sensor (Eg. nokiamob.net review). I installed a multi-sensor test app and can see a magnetic sensor there that shows changing readings when I waive a magnet over it, but opening or closing the case does not affect the screen. This work for anyone ?

I've been looking into the cases of this phone since i got it on the first day of launch. Sadly to date there is none. Maybe Nokia will release a case that does so and enable thay feature in a future update.
Hi everyone,
I've noticed recently that flip to shhh will only work if the phone is NOT on a perfectly level surface. If I use it on my desk for example, it won't work (no vibration to indicate it has turned on). If I slightly tilt the phone, flip to shhh kicks in. Letting go of the phone disables it again.
Anyone else having this issue?

Sorry to say, no issues here. I've tried it on multiple surfaces and it always shhh-es. I have the P4 not the XL but I assume it should be identical operations.
