The S View case that Samsung equips its smartphones reminds us of the good old days when flip phones were equipped with a small additional display on the back of the cover.
If you have never seen S View, then this is an ordinary case in the form of a book (or a flip), with a rectangular window cut out opposite the top of the smartphone screen, which displays useful information. However, Samsung only equips S View with its latest flagship smartphones, and if you'd like to get the full experience that this case brings to any other Android device, you can do so with the S View app - HatRoid.
While Samsung uses a special magnetic sensor to work with S View, S View-HatRoid uses the proximity sensor, which is equipped with all modern smartphones and phablets. This means that this application can work with any, the cheapest flip.
Using the application is very simple. After installing and launching the program, you will see the main application window, on which there are three buttons.
The top one is for starting or stopping the S View service.
The second is to fine-tune the location of the panels, which display the current time and date, information about the music track, missed calls and unread messages. Just select a panel and move it around with the arrows.
The third button is for accessing the application settings. Here you can select the delay time for the appearance of the S View information window, enable the automatic wake-up of the screen when the case is opened, and enable / disable the display of information about the caller calling you.
That's all. There are two versions of the S View application - HatRoid: paid and free. The paid or Pro version also allows you to change the size and color of panel elements (clock, date panel, etc.), as well as turn off the S View logo.
So, if you want your inexpensive smartphone or phablet to look as good as one of Samsung's latest flagship devices, then you can install S View - HatRoid on it, which is available on Google Play at the following links:

Today we will consider one very unusual question that users of Xiaomi smartphones and tablets quite often ask: what does the “Smart Cover Mode” item, which is located in the settings, mean? The answer is simple.
This is how this item looks on the screen of a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet:
In fact, everything is quite simple. You may have heard of the so-called "smart" cases for mobile devices. They are a book format, when in order to access the screen, the case must be opened - just like a book. Here is an example of a cover:
These "smart" cases have built-in magnets. In turn, the smartphone or tablet has a special magnetic sensor, which is located under the glass. When you open the "smart" case, the display of the device is automatically unlocked, which is very convenient.
So, returning to our item “Smart Cover Mode”, which you can find in devices from Xiaomi, we inform you that this function activates the “smart” cover. What does it mean? If you enable this function, then when using the smart case, the desktop will be automatically unlocked when the case is opened. When the function is deactivated, you will have to unlock the device when you open the case yourself. Actually, that's the whole answer.
Innovative Samsung S view covers have a special window on the front of thin transparent plastic that allows you to determine the status of the gadget without opening the cover. The user can view new notifications, answer or reject calls, find out the time / date, determine the name of the melody being played or the battery charge status, and get quick access to the camera. The S View cases for Samsung GALAXY Note 3 also allow you to take handwritten notes with an electronic pen. If necessary, the window can be removed from the cover.
Cases-covers are attached to the smartphone instead of the regular back wall. However, it does not significantly increase the size of the device. There are models of Samsung S view covers that automatically adjust the background color of the menu in the window according to the color of the cover. When opening/closing the case, turning on/off the screen of the smartphone is controlled by a special sensor.
Cases Samsung S view cover ‒ convenient accessory
According to users, Samsung cases with the S view function, first of all, pleased with the ease of use. Thanks to it, when checking various system information, there is no need to open the case - just press the unlock button, and all the necessary information will appear in the window. When an incoming call is displayed, the name of the subscriber, the answer / cancel call buttons. To answer a call, you just need to swipe your finger across the window in the desired direction. You can just as easily drop a call.
Pleases users and the aesthetics of the accessory. Synthetic leather with the addition of polycarbonate looks stylish, strengthens the body of the case, and its installation on the back of the smartphone gives a solid design. At the same time, the use of a case does not make the gadget heavier, so it is convenient to carry it in your pocket.
Sometimes it is quite difficult to protect your smartphone from external damage, especially the display. Therefore, we decided to tell you about one interesting accessory that can provide maximum protection for your Galaxy S4 smartphone. Although we have already talked about him more than once, but not as intently as now.
Yes, today there are a lot of different covers, so there are plenty to choose from. But few of them are really interesting accessories. Today's protective case is called the S-View Cover and it's only for the original Galaxy S4.
The main feature of the S-View Cover is a convenient flip cover that perfectly protects the display without obstructing the view. And this is a very useful feature in everyday life.
So, this is what our S-View Cover looks like:
On the frontmost flap there is a small transparent window made of hard plastic. And from the inside of the rear panel there are some interesting details that should be told in more detail.
On the back cover there are signs of plastic injection molding - an industrial way to create polymer parts. Polycarbonate was used here. Also in the photo above you can see the dark gray part. With its help, the smartphone “knows” that the S-View Cover is on it. In addition, it receives information from the proximity sensor. The principle of operation of the sensor is that when the lid is closed, the smartphone is given a signal to turn on a special part of the display, which shows the time and notifications sent. When the cover is opened, the smartphone goes into normal operation.
Also, opening the lid will automatically unlock the screen, unless, of course, you have a password set.
Please note that the lid opens very easily, as there is nothing holding it. Plus, you won't need to open it very often. You can even answer calls using the window on the front of the case.
You simply drag the corresponding icon when you see an incoming call to accept or reject the call. The downside of this feature is that it doesn't work if you want to put a call on hold.
However, these are not all notifications that can be displayed in this window:
As for the appearance of the cover, it is made in an interesting gray color. In addition, the front cover of the S-View Cover has the name of the smartphone - Galaxy S4.
The inside of the case is made of soft-touch material. And so that the S-View Cover fits snugly to the smartphone, inside at the bottom of the front panel there is a special recess for the Home button.
Also, the case has all the other necessary slots - for speakers, cameras, flashes, etc. They are cut exactly to size so as not to interfere with the work with the smartphone.
In practice, it turned out that the S-View Cover is actually a very convenient accessory. The only thing missing is an extra hole for LED notifications. We hope that a case with such additional slots will appear soon. We also noticed that it is not very convenient to control the volume buttons when the smartphone is in the case. These are the only two problems that we did not really like. But such an accessory is not too cheap - 44.90 euros. The high cost is mostly due to the Hall sensor.
The accessory is available in two colors - gray and white. In addition to minor shortcomings, we have not identified any more disadvantages. One of the positive aspects of the S-View Cover would be the convenient management of the smartphone while the cover is closed. Plus the display is well protected. When you weigh all the pros and cons of the S-View Cover, the price really doesn't seem that high anymore.
