I've got a 1st Generation Moto G LTE and flip case. I've noticed that when I close the flip case, the phone doesn't sleep, nor will it resume when I open the case again.

I've done an experiment using the magnetic part of a Nexus 7 case, holding it next to the phone to see if it will turn on/off. Nothing seems to happen. I've tried the same thing with t Moto G 2nd Gen (non-LTE) and it behaves correctly.

Should magnetic sleep/resume work on my phone? And if so, is there a software setting I need to change? It's running factory-fresh Android 4.4 (but with all the play store updates).

Hi, I have in family 3 Moto G LTE 1st generation, one with original Motorola flip case (the one that has also the back cover to substitute) and the other with a compatible one.
Only the original Motorola put in sleep/wake up the phone...
Maybe the new back cover of the original moto case switch something in software ?
