[Q] Smart Cover "turn-on-display" stopped working - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My smart cover (original Samsung - EF-WG925BBEG) stopped working - what I mean is that the display doesn't turn on automatically when I open the cover. Is there a specific setting to toggle this behavior (I wasn't able to find this in the settings).
Hints are much appreciated. thx

[Q] Mate 10 Pro Always on Display & Smart View Flip Case

It seems, that the Always on Display isn't always on, when using the Smart View Flip Case.
When I close the Flipcover, then the displayed time, etc. go off after few seconds.
NFC is on and the smart case option with window is enabled.
Without the case, the always on display is off only, when something hiding the light sensor.
With the smart cover, when the flpcover hides it, the display is off.
Is there any option, that enables the AOD with the flipcase?

I tried
Same for me with the same case
Wow....too bad I didn't see this before ordering my case. Just received it today, and experiencing the same issue. AlwaysOnDisplay is clearly marked as enabled, but the smart cover only displays info for a few seconds and then goes off. Is there not a switch somewhere to make this cover stay on? I don't really care how often I need to recharge the device, so saving battery is not an issue for me. I want to be able to simply glance at the phone's smart cover and quickly see what I need to know without touching the phone. Oddly enough, without the smart cover, the AOD works just fine. Guess the "smart cover" is not too smart after all.
Flip case
I have the same problem. I contacted Huawei who said that their sample didn't have the same issue and the display is always on in the case window. I haven't been able to find a retailer with a Mate 10 Pro to test whether this is a problem with the case or with the phone.
Same issue on the P20 Pro / Smart Cover, have tweeted them but expect little response.
Same Problem with the mate 10 pro
Guys, there is a setting for it disabling screen if put in your pocket. the phone thinks the case is in your pocket. Try turninf off the Touch Disable mode switch located under smart Assistance. that or try the smart cover settings.

S-view not enabling/disabling phone screen

Hi,
After today's system update (Android 7), my screen is not turning on/off when opening/closing my Samsung Flip Cover. I cannot find the option to manage the "S-View" for my phone after today's update.
Please advise.

Blu Vivo XI + question *Solved*

What's up guys. I drive with my phones mounted on a phone mount. Whenever I hit a little bump, my screen wakes up. I find it annoying. I couldn't really find anything in the settings to cancel the screen wake up function. Is there an app suggestion that could help me. Thanks in advance.
*Solution found*
I found an app called Smart Screen On Off made by Luu Tinh. My screen no longer wakes up when driving. The different features of the app if you guys are interested :
Double tap on Home Screen to turn off screen.
- The sensor will automatically detect, and auto power on / off screen to help you.
- You can disable the feature when the screen rotates horizontally.
- You can set separate delays when the screen on / off to avoid accidentally enabled.
- Support power to quickly head off the screen.
- Support for using the same cover.
- Auto screen off when put your phone into pocket.
- Improve best performance. Only use a maximum of 5 MB RAM.
Edit again dammit. Disregard the first solution.
The raise to wake setting is under the smart gestures portion of the phones settings
It's a built in feature to the phone. Lift to wake
Can just turn it off in settings

I, like you, received my keyboard cover recently (yesterday). I just tested it-
Works fine for phone calls
solved
hi just an update found that the problem was "edgelighting" app - downloaded from the Samsung edge panels store "unique apps for your edge panels" - it basically flashed the edges in colours etc for an incoming call but DOESN'T show the accept / reject buttons on the shrunken display(still on full size under the cover so you have to pull cover off) - so deleted app and now working fine. samsung tech help not too clever - faulty hard keyboard cover or wanted me to reset phone .. hope this can help someone in the future

smart cover

Has anyone experienced that their smart cover works and then stops working as in if a call comes in it doesn't come up on the little window. Then I have to toggle smart cover off then restart phone and then enable it. Then it starts working. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so what is the solution
