Led View Cover not working after update

[Kurea]

Hello all,

As stated in the subject the Led View Cover on my S9+ has completely stopped working after the last update (from May 1).

I've already tried removing and reapplying it, turning off the phone in between tries as well and even a full reset to factory settings - it still will not work. Prior to the update it was all working fine, out of curiosity I also asked a friend who has the same phone+cover and hers has also stopped working - so I wouldn't think there's suddenly a hardware issue with my cover.

Does anyone know any other things I could try to restore functionality? Or is there someplace I should report this as a bug?

Thank you!

Hi,
Try removing the cover
then (wait a few mins)

Then apply cover again

Restart the phone.

Hey,

Tried but sadly no results.

I actually even tried variations on it like:

• removing cover - wait a few minutes - reapply cover - reboot
• removing cover - wait a few minutes - reboot - reapply cover
• removing cover - reboot - wait a few minutes - reapply cover

Same issue, same outcome. Not a very smart cover at all now.

Sadly mine's been not-very-smart ever since and I haven't seen any solutions that worked online. Definitely the last time I bother buying one of these covers.
