Donut Supercharged July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 i got a burning question about this. recently got a new Tab 3 tablet, and a new case that has a magnetic tab. The problem is the tablet keep going to standby erratically, no screen touch sensitivity, and just hang for whole day. Was so pissed with it, i thought i got a lemon tablet. Decided to go to Samsung Service Centre. They were kind enough to change the entire screen. Collect it back and the problem is the same. So mad, went back to service centre again. The counter service staff took a look at my tablet and my case. Asked me to try using the tablet without the case. He explained my case has magnets that may affect the device. Ok, i ever read online about this magnetic problem, where some ppl complained about the magnetic cases. Decided to go with his advice. Sure enough, the tablet works like a charm now, without the stupid case. Anyone has this problem as well? The pic of the case i was using ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic of the case i was using oh I am surprised......seems like engineering for ipad in this aspect is better. my ipad2 works very well with the magnetic screen cover. then again it seems the ipad2 cover doesn't work well on ipad3.

Donut Supercharged July 3, 2014 Author Share July 3, 2014 was the case meant for ipad which has the magnetic flip for auto on/off? or Tab3 also has the same feature? the case is made for tab 3 tablets. i think Tab 3 has auto on/off function, but i'm actually surprised that the magnets really do have effect on tablets either Samsung made the tablet too weak to repel the magnetic forces or the magnets in the case is too strong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 i also think that apple made better products. wifey's ipad has no issue with the magnetic case. is a shame actually. with the magnetic cover, it intelligently goes on standby when I flip the cover close and the battery life lasts longer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 (edited) Erm... don't use the cover? Or just buy one without magnets Good solution, simple and effective!! Want to apply for a scholarship and become a scholar?!! (opps, sorry, being such a non-scholar but giving good, practical solutions is much better than having the scholar title..)

Watwheels Supersonic July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 Aiya, Just cut a tiny slot to try to remove magnet, after that sew Velcro over the slot, wah- lah! Can re-use the case. You sell to another person means you are a dick like the case maker. I suggest that you take pictures and feedback to the case maker, leave some angry words, ask how the mother is doing and mention that their casing suck.

Celicar Turbocharged July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 I'm by no means an expert, but it seems a little like bashing a car for being lousy, when a certain grade of fuel causes knocking. Why is the blame primarily with the tablet and not the case? The tablet is working fine if not for the case, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially had a magnetic case. Had a few glitches, e.g. some issues with the Swype function on the keyboard, and the phone going to standby screen during use. Also, the Compass was worthless with the cover on. Finally got fed up and went to a plain backing. Just relying on the screen protector to protect the display.

Kb27 Supersonic July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 Strong magnet will have an effect on any sensors inside the phone. Accelerometer or such sensors depending on earth magnetic field will be effected. Best thing is not to use any holder with magnetic catch. Smart phones has many such sensors. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
