Mine stopped working as well...

I was just wondering, isnt just something related to the battery powering up the leds?, what does power the unit itself?, how it does recharge?, maybe some kind of reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] 103Softail:
Yeah ditto here. Soon as I attached case it showed to update. No problems at all, touch wood (In AU & had case 3 weeks now)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] D-N-A:
Same problem here.

Just to track down the cause any further:

I first thought the issue is related to phone repair (display driver hardware suddenly failed and had to be replaced), as the LEDs started to fail afterwards. Before repair it worked just fine for 2 month with occasional fails once in a while (which I related to being a "delicate" device). Further, as my cover works perfectly with another phone while another cover also fails with my phone, it was obvious to be related to repair.

After reading this thread, I tried the metall surface thingy which works just perfectly. Also, the foil-in-between solution works perfectly.

My conclusion so far:

- Obviously, the communication between phone and cover is very delicate (bad design?) and the metall surface helps by amplifying the signal.

- Consequently, putting a foil in between should rather have a blocking effect than amplification.

- Obviously, repair work has an impact (physically?) on a delicate communication. It might be that the software update they made, might have some negative effects.

- The question remains: what makes it such delicate? Why has repair work made it worse? Can it be fixed with a software update?

LED Cover working again

Hi there, here my experience.

My LED cover stopped working after a screen replacement. I first didn't believe in a hardware issue and started to search here and on the internet about a possible solution. Then I updated my phone with the latest firmware, did a factory reset/wipe etc. Nothing worked. Today I took the phone back to our local Samsung Service Centre. They fixed it in less than 20 minutes. What happened is during the screen replacement they didn't properly install the wireless charging unit. The LED cover gets its power from this unit (and not from NFC and aluminium foil and other ridiculous suggestions I read here!) It is true, however, that the "accessories" option in settings is only available when the LED cover is snapped on the phone. Without it it disappears! I hope this report helps some people with the same problem. Unfortunately, I did not get any support on XDA despite my questions in several S7 Edge threads. LJ

Hi,

So many people having problems here, just as me since a few days..

Never had any problems untill maybe 2 days ago.

Maybe the problem lies there aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tjleo:
same problem

Hi all, I got the same problem, two months have passed and my case is dead! Since it to me I will not change for a new one, I decided to find out why it stopped working. Since I have experience with electronics, I examine case apart. I will not go into details, there's a serious problem, the problem lies in the flexible cable between the base of which is fixed phone and cap, this place is subject to numerous bending, where there is communication gap. You say, "It's a flexible cable It is for this!". I will tell you the following: The cable must be bent in a circle! But there it is bent 90 degrees! Theoretically, it can be repaired, but not for long time. Most likely, I will contact the technical service of samsung and will write a complaint and give them this information, and I will ask for equipment replacement. This is not a software problem, the problem is the design of cover, do not waste time and money on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] consolero4ever:
Mine stop working yesterday... now what? Samsung will send me another cover if I call?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] chunseng:
This indeed a piece of junk engineering, Samsung have got this habit of releasing half baked products. I bought 2 at launch, changed 2 after a month of light use and now they are denying another exchange because they cover only 3 months of warranty for accessories. Not to mention every replacement took me >3 weeks. Don't waste your money on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] GregAnderson:
It doesnt help for me, how do you placed the aluminium ? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fenix182:
I am an EE customer. I took out my contract on 15th May. My Samsung Galaxy S7 LED case just stopping working after 6 weeks.

I got it replaced with a brand new one, which worked really well from 2nd July, until today when this one stopped working too.

I am really annoying that I will have to either get a third case or source another case altogether as I spent 50 quid on it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mcleod573:
From France...

Mine stopped working 2 weeks ago....bought it in April 2016

tried to put this aluminium foil inside just below the camera....doesn't work.

tried to activate few times NFC...no way...

tried to put it on metal...nothing working....

the cover is still detected and activated in parameters/ Accessories and show icons......don't anderstand anything lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] freeskater2:
i have had 3 led view covers, they lasted about 1 month every time i replaced them....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] LittleSamson:
I don't want it to work :) Can't play pokemon go if the screen goes off everytime I put the phone in my pocket.

But I think I could put the phone in the cover so that nothing works. I just take it really slow and try to have it as closed as possible. But if I restart the phone the cover working again.

Anything I can disable in EZ to lose the connection with the cover? Maybe install Nova? :)

Or maybe someone have a cover they don't want :)

Edit: I found a solution. Disable Nfc Service witch EZ Disabler and restart.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Gollo2014:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Noahnatawl:
Nothing works, the case is faulty

My LED case stopped working after a couple of months.

Nothing to do with any software update.

Foil does not work. (That video is bogus, it does not show the case not working without the foil.)

It is the connection in the case, it weakens and breaks, I believe this happens when the cover is folded back flat.

Samsung don't want to know.

That really is pisses me off.

Has it got to catch fire before they react on this.

These cases are not cheap.

What can we do? YouTube campaign?

interesting thing!

my second led flip ( i changed it 19 august) is still working!!

but there is one thing ...from 19th august i use only official firmware with out root

with previous flip i used non official firmware with root

i will continue my experment, (because with previous flip on some firmwares led flip not worked. and after downgraded to official, continues to work till 19th august)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MrEzzzkiel:
Yes. I'm actually quite happy that the LEDs and touch function isn't working since I've accepted several calls in my pocket or when pitching it out of my pocket. And disabling the alarm without wanting to. It's like the cover I used to have on my S5. I couldn't find an option to disable the touch on the cover, so this suits me just fine. I'm on the S7 flat, btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Steveterrell:
Metal plate stopped flip cover working

So I put in a Cygnet vent mount plate in between my S7 Edge and Samsung flip cover. The plate stopped the flip from working if the plate was positioned toward the bottom of the phone. Up near the camera lens is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gpap2004:
Mine stopped working after Nougat beta update buy I don't think it is a firmware problem. On off screen working well but no notifications in led cover. Maybe wireless charging cause the problem?I don't know. Samsung didn't take a place to this officially. Today I have officially bought 7.0 update (BTU firmware via FOTA). Still not working. Same on you Samsung...

EDIT WOW i went to the EE shop in Salford to have it replaced as i always keep receipts over a certain amount all ready for an argument but a super polite Senior customer service advisor called Jason replaced it with a smile and an apology which shocked me quite a bit as i was expecting numerous excuses as to why i could whistle but it was no bother at all now thats what i call great customer service well done Jason and EE :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] equigs:
It happened after a software upgrade from Samsung. They haven't a clue. If I had the money I'd crawl on my hands and knees back to Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Emexrulsier:
I would like to add that 90% of the time you will NOT be able to fix this issue as it is hardware related and is not really fixable. After owning three of this covers and all died I decided to dissect them to investigate. There is a very small ribbon cable with about 10 strands that feeds the LED and runs inside the leather of the hinge part of the cover. On all three of my covers this cable had snapped which has happened just by the process of folding the phone case back on itself to use the phone. The cable is within the leather itself so cannot be replaced or really repairing it without tearing the case to bits. If you own one of these cases you simply have to remember not to folder the cover over the back, it will last about 6 months of moderate usage before the cable will snap.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] h0rd4k:
As emexrulsier said, its hardware failure. I also thought it was Nougat related as it stopped working not long after updating. Thought maybe it was a bug so did a reset, no change. Just coincidence it died around the same time. I cut it open to see for myself...

LED Cover is rubbish

Hi all,

I had the same problem that my LED cover wasn't working. It happened after the first display crack and replacement. The Samsung people buggered up the wireless charger when opening and assembling the phone. They replaced the wireless charger free of charge and the LED cover is working.After a few weeks I dropped the phone again and since the LED cover does not protect the screen properly, the display cracked again. Each time it cost about EURO 250 for a replacement. No I have had it, I sold the phone and the LED cover with it. I have bought a second hand S7 Edge from Amazon.de and a full cover wallet case with a magnetic flap that keeps the front cover firmly in place during a fall.

Forget about the LED cover, very expensive and you get tired of the LED lights and symbols quickly. The screen protection during a fall is pathetic. If you think you need to have it - you live dangerously! Good luck LJ

Hey Guys,

I have flip neon case on Samsung A3 2017.

I read all comments here...I can tell you that I dont know how is this flip covers work, but mine stoped workin after 2 weeks as well, actually it happend when I was cleaning my phone without cover... since then it stopped work....I thougt it is dead, but then somehow after few days it came again back to live for half day and died again.. after 3 months of thinking that is just **** made cover, i figure out how to fix it, it is actually because of NFC (at least in my case) and there is easy way how to make the cover work again. As I am to lazy to write here whole manual. You can contact me on email address svrlansky.jakub@gmail.com and I can send you video with comment :) if there will be more of you i will upload it on youtube.

Peace. Jakub
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] vlad18384:
So, I had the same problem and have a simple solution for you:

Activate NFC and then do a ReBoot of your Samsung. Then say Thanks :).

If you only activate or deactivate the NFC, nothing will happen, the changes to the cover will come after a ReBoot.

This situation is linked to the software/System update because during any System update the phone will ReBoot. In my case, I have deactivated NFC months ago and at the final System Update my phone was Rebooted and after that the cover didn't work anymore.

Cheers, Vlad
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Eric.sandnes:
Here is a simpler solution!

You don't need to clean the cover or the unit.

Just remove the cover and put it back on. Then something resets, it seems.

I did this to my A5 while it was powered.

Eureka!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AllSmokeEm:
Hello sir.

Same story. But I did allot of those tricks. Nothing seems to work on this side lol. Nfc reboot with cover. Without cover etc etc etc.

Funny part I scanned the nfc chip on my work and the data is still present.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] babarjuju:
Try that :

- disable NFC

- turn off the phone

- remove the cover

- turn on the phone + PIN

- insert the cover

- enable NFC

Does it work ? If yes, you can disable the NFC

Poor Quality LED Case for S7

I have changed almost 3 LED cases in an year(or an option to refund money) ... one case works for only 1.5-2 months.

Not worth but case quality seems good as it looks premium & sounds good to protect expensive phone.

Anyone here can suggest some other good cases for S7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Fragone:
My suggestion for all people owning a LED cover which still works:

* Remove Sticker

* lift up the logic board gently

* on the left side, the foil cable goes trough the plastic part. On this cable, there is a little yellow duct tape. REMOVE IT.

* put everything back to its place.

Reason: During my autopsis, i recognized that this stupid adhesive makes the cable more stable, but if you open the cover more than 180 degrees, it prevents the cable to slip trough the hole between the cover and the transparent plastic. This leads to a taut foil cable, which makes it breaking sooner or later.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Savvymoore:
Samsung LED fix

Press and hold vol down key and power key , releasing both when the Samsung logo appears..

It is annoying as a screenshot will be taken but hold the keys through it.

This will cause a soft reset to your device and your cover led will work.

The problem is with the NFC chip in the cover communicating with your device

(This is not a magnet as due to common belief).

The cause is more than likely a software error due to the NFC software being forced closed on power down .

I leave my device on constantly due to this problem, When I charge I just put the device on mute

I cut open the case and found out the electric ribbon at the bottom hinge is broken. So no signal will flow from the back cover to the led. No matter good luck or not, it is material quality issue. You flip the cover on and off many times in a month or two, that electric ribbon will just snap. Other electric board and circuits are fine. That 5mm wide ribbon is just too weak to handle frequent bending.

Sorry I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to the whole rooting process.

I decided to instel this rom on my note3:

3.4.111-f2fs-temasek.cm12.1-hlte-v1.69

CyanogenMode version : 12.1

So far I'm faily satisfied with the improvement, my phone is noticeably faster and has a lot more battery life.

But it seem like I lost all USB3.0 functions.

Usually when I plugged my phone in the computer the USB option would pop, and I could select "switch to USB 3.0", then I would get a warning saying my phone line wouldn't work while Usb3.0 was active or something along the line.

Well this option is simply not present at the moment, any way to make it work?
