Samsung Flip Case "Auto Off" feature disabled when wireless battery loop is installed onto battery!
Hi,
I recently purchased an "induction coil tab" that sticks to my Samsung S5 phone battery to have the ability to wirelessly charge it. As a consequence, the flip case feature which switches the phone display off when the flap is closed is disabled due to the fact that one of the contacts, on the back of the phone for this feature, is covered up by connection tab for the charging loop. I have overcome this by using a strip of aluminium foil to expose the hidden contact on the back of the phone to the pin on the flip case. This works a treat but means each time I remove the battery I have to carefully place the aluminium foil strip in the right place.
My question is:
Is there a commercially available fix for this scenario?
If there isn't, I am happy to share in detail to the forum how I overcame the issue.
Regards
Alfons
