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.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

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 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.
