[Q] Nexus 5 magnet sensor not turning screen ON

[engrbm]

Hello guys, i newly bought a flip cover for my nexus 5 and i thought that i can add a small magnet to it so that it becomes a smart cover. BUT i noticed that the magnet is NOT turning the screen ON or OFF. Could it be because i am on a custom ROM or that the magnet sensor (near the front camera) is not working as it should.

Appreciate your feedback on this issue.

The sensor is on the edge of the screen near the vol up

N5 has a magnetic sensor?

I wonder why the Spigen Slim Armor View didn't use it... it uses proximity which causes tons of issues and battery drain.
