Hi,

My apologies if this has been discussed somewhere else.

I just received the official Note 3 upgrade for Kit Kat 4.4.2 this morning.
Upgraded and.....
...my (original) s-view flip cover has stopped working.

Checked the contacts, checked the settings-device-accesories page to see if it was still activated.....all looks normal.

Can't find out what the problem is and can't find anybody else who is having this problem.

Any idea?

I have a N-9005 NOT rooted

Thanks

I can' test now but I do notice the S View sometimes won't work if the phone get restart.

Try Power Off the phone and turn on later see it is working or not.

Samsung is BAD!

Samsung did some changes on S View in latest 4.4.2 ROM.

I have 3 S View cover/case and only the Genuine Samsung S View Flip Cover is working!

Not working for counterfeit one, include Genuine Spigen SlimArmor View !!! OMG!

Attached pics don't seem to be working right now, something is wonky with the forums. I have a knockoff Sview cover as well and I can confirm it no worky on 4.4.2 :p Any way of uploading elsewhere?

    Nope, after a whole bunch of 'feeding' it various values, I think I need to get an official case to see what actually gets sent over to the device. I've ordered one from Amazon, so we shall see. If I can effectively copy the values that are read from an official case then should not be a problem.

    I shall be back on the 'case' when I get my new case :)

    Hello every one !

    I have one solution to S-View Flip. Today i have buy one official cover and proceded a chip swap to Official & Spigen Slim Armor View.
    Nice it work ! but the solution is expensive, buy the spigen SAV + Official Cover, the operation is not without risk. Rest one problem, the Home buton not work.

    The home button is not only blocked from SView, it's blocked completely with the screen off, the event watcher is not registered for it.

    I've been digging through all this code, and oh my word have they gone to town, and although our 'unofficial' stuff has stopped I don't think that was the primary reason for Samsung to do this, it seems they have registered a whole bunch of other identifiers, so that other official 'devices' whether they be cases or whatever can be identified uniquely.

    The 4.3 way of doing things was :

    Check for chip - if exists is it's vendor name Samsung - If so turn on S-View

    in the 4.4.2 world :

    Check for chip - if exists is it's vendor name Samsung - If so What's the Device ID - If it's 0x1 then S-View on if it's 0x2 then it's FlipView case (no S-View, just turn screen off, and turn on again when opened)

    The problem we have, the chips our devices use Doesn't have an ID, Just the Vendor name.

    What we need to do is force the detection code to identify the chip as an S-View no matter what.

    I'll have another look later, only had a couple hours today.

    Just so you know the status.

    Wow, the more I dig the more horrified and impressed I am!

    There's code in here to detect what colour the case is that you are using, and then it can set the background to match, there's code for different size 'openings' in the case, and for no opening at all....

    I might need to get hold of an 'official' device so I can see what these things are being set too!

    For now though, I'll try hack around it ;)

    It say this

    Okay, here's another APK, can you try that? http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/com.mohammadag.sviewverificationbypasser_v3_be39c1.apk

    Reboot after you see the "modules list updated toast"

    Heh, so I didn't waste 85$ (in a way)

    Here's a support thread for the module since it works :)
