I have a Nexus 7 3g which I recently got it from Canada and ordered a flip case which had the auto sleep/wake function. However the auto sleep isn't working with the flip case. Can anyone please tell me, if the Nexus 7 3g has the capability of the auto sleep/wake function?? If yes how can I check that on the Nexus 7 or on the flip case (incase the flip case isn't working as it is supposed to). Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Yes it does, you should be able to do it with a magnet not sure where the sensor is though

its going to be hard to test the auto sleep/on function without another case or so.
they work by using magnets and well, i wouldnt really put a magnet near the device...
but yes, the N7 does have the auto function, so if i had to guess which one isnt working i would say that your case might be defective

I recently tried an app called "android sensor box". All sensors seem to work fine except the magnetic sensor. It seems to detect strong magnetic forces somewhere. However, when I use my N1 phone and turn on the sensor, the sensor in N1 does not detect anything. Is that something wrong with Nexus 7 magnetic sensor? Anybody have the same issue?
Is that in the developer section? Oh, and did you check to make sure Magneto isn't hiding in the closet? (There's a pun in there)

I am not developing this app. I just want to check if the sensors in my Nexus 7 function properly.
There is no Magneto close to my room. The odd thing is the sensor in my phone does not pick up any magnetic forces when I compare both devices side by side. I thought about the N7 case may cause such interference but then when I remove the N7 from the case, it still behaves the same. Also, I installed a compass app to both devices. It appears to me that the one in N7 does not function properly, pointing to the wrong direction, even after I did the calibration as suggested by the app.
Hi:
that feature of so many N7 cases that turn on/off when you open/close the case ::
is that a N7 feature or a JB feature?
thanx
I have a cheap chinese one.
Its a hardware feature on the bezel of the device

It's a Nexus 7 feature. But you need a case with the sleep/wake functionality for it to work.

I have a leather case and it has magnetic closer think this is what activates the open turn on.
From the darkest reaches of my mind...... Somebody turn on the light
I am using my GS4 running armband with my G2, it fits well actually but there is one MAJOR issue. The phone will NOT wakeup when double tapping the screen. It will however turn off when double tapping the status bar. Has anyone else gone running with their G2? If so how has it worked out and what armband are you using?
Be sure the proximity sensor isnt covered, if this is covered it doesnt listen, probably to prevent from turning on in your pocket.

Yep...sounds like the culprit.

The ar band I am using doesnt cover it, I wonder if maybe its too thick and is possibly messing with the sensor?
KnockOn is also affected by the orientation of the phone. If it doesn't detect that it is in an appropriate orientation for typical phone use it will ignore the KnockOn feature.

I have tested that, it turns on at all angles and even upside down. I don't think that is very accurate, even if LG advertises that. I am guessing my arm band is too thick.

Anything touching the screen prolly jacks with it as well!

Just got my international version yesterday and was really bummed to discover the same issue this morning.
It definitely has sonething to do with the proximity/light sensor next to the LED getting thrown off my the plastic of the armband view area.
I experimented by pressing the plastic flat against the phone and it then worked. Obviously not practical to try and do while running, but its a start. I imagine that, while not ideal, cutting a section from the armband window may help
Will post if I find something else
Is it true that magnetic cover mess with the tablet.????
I've been using one since I got my N7, I was concerned at first but not a single problem so far.

Is it true that once u start using magnetic cover you wont be able to use magnetic compass or google map navigation
Definitely not. I haven't had any problem with GMaps.
Hi All,
Did anyone purchase a case with the auto sleep function? It does not seem to work on mine even though advertised.. Does it actually work the with Tab 4?
Thanks.
I've tried running a magnet over it, and can't seem to find the supposed magnetic sensor anywhere.
Oh really? I wonder how safe is it to have magnets close to the screen... I hope no damage is done...
I got a cheap flip case on ebay and it is a smart case. For the price the quality is quite good. The magnet is about 1" from the left edge ON the screen. It has magnets to keep the cover closed also and it can be used as a stand.

I have a case (generic one from Amazon) and the auto-sleep (and auto-awake) functions work well.
I can't find the sensor on my 7. Does it have one?
I bought the Pellem case and it works well

For an 8 right? Not a seven

Sorry everyone for the confussion.... Turns out the case I got from eBay was defective... I was able to get one that actually had the auto sleep function working...
I bought the official Samsung Book Cover Case for my Galaxy Tab 4 7". It does have magnets in it to support the wedge/propped up mode. The box even indicated the auto sleep/wake functionality. But it never did work.
I don't know about the 7 as I have an 8 but there is a check box under settings>general>accessories for the flip cover. On my tab if I put a magnet 1" from the top left ON the screen it shuts off. Hope this helps.
