Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the automatic magnetic unlock feature of the 10.1 Note. I've got a case that sometimes will turn of (lock) my Note 10.1 when I don't want it to turn of, without closing the case itself.

Thanks in advance,


Ben

Check Under accessory settings. Tasker can probably disable the Magnetic Sensor

I also have that feature disabled. The case also has a cut out for the home button. I traditionally keep the wifi disabled.

Hi all,
i'm running into, i believe, is the same issue.
When rotating or moving the tablet, the screen will automatically turn off and lock.
I've disabled the eye sensor, increased the screen time out, and disabled day note, with no luck.
Such a pain!
If i root this device, is there a guaranteed way around this 'feature'?

Well, i couldnt take it anymore and removed the magnet from the case.
Here's the case in question:

w w w.amazon.com/COD-Leather-Samsung-Galaxy-Edition/dp/B00EZB3EXU

what i did was to take another magnet and move it around the cover until it connected with the other magnet.
With a sharp exacto blade, i split the seam of the cover and pulled out the magnet (about 5mm in diamater).
It's all good now :p

I've read that the magnet may also interfere with the stylus pen. Will be getting a new keyboard/touchpad leather case soon but I didn't read whether it had a magnetic strap or not. Guess it won't bother me much and like the user above will probably find a way to remove it.

same problem here. Let me know if you found a fix. I even tried the magnetoff xposed module, but it doesn't seem to work.

having the same problem with my note 10.1. Am using an after market cover which is quite good except that when the cover edges touch, the screen automatically switches off. Very frustrating. Wish samsung would provide a way to disable the magnetic sensor. I am rooted and even tried the magnet off xposed module but it doesn't work.

Did anyone find any way to turn off the magnetic lock and unlock function? When I backfold my cover (aftermarket), it automatically locks my tab. Which is very irritating. I have Samsung galaxy tab S5e

    Probably something that would require a kernel level change.

    From Poetic support, turning WiFi off normally takes care of the problem.

    I've noticed on mine when I uncheck settings>general>acessory>daynote it won't lock when I close the cover. Worth a shot on yours!
