Sleep Wake issue

[killie77]

Hi
Bought the XA1 ultra couple of days ago. I've noticed that it doesn't have the double tap to open feature. However i was hoping that it would work in a flip case with magnetic closure. Bought a case with that function but the phone doesn't do the sleep too wake. Is their an option in the settings to enable this ?
Thanks

There is no option in the software. I have the official Smart Cover, and I believe there is some sort of magnetic placement in the case that triggers it. Hard to tell whether there is an NFC chip or something like that, but as far as I know, only the OEM cover has this feature.

Keep in mind that lifting up the cover to wake is no faster than pressing the power button. This I can confirm this first hand. The delay seems to be the same as the button, which to me is slow anyway with around a half second delay. You're not missing out on much, trust me.

Thanks for the info. Any idea if rooting might help me find a way to unlock from sleep.?
Thanks

The phone has a hall sensor and a tiny magnet triggers the Sleep - Wake feature. The position of the sensor is on the top left corner of the phone just below the bezel - where the carrier information appears. I had a T2 ultra before with a Nillkin flip case that had the sleep wake function. Ordered a Nillkin Qin case for the XA1 Ultra and found out that it did not have the sleep wake feature. Just popped the magnet out from a old and torn case that I had earlier and positioned on the inner flap of the flip cover so that it touches the sensor position when closed. Pasted the magnet with a bit of glue and covered it with a patch of suede so that it does not scratch the glass. Voila - I have a working sleep and wake flip cover for the XA1 Ultra. Any small and thin magnet will do , preferably from a old donor case , else look for a thin button magnet from small Fridge-Magnet stick-on pieces.

Will look for a magnet. Have a couple of fridge ones will try them first ?
