Is there any way not to shut off the phone completely when flip cover is closed? Calls & notification alerts are missed when it's closed.

There must be something wrong or off in your settings. The cover has nothing to do with the function of the phone at all. I have never had this problem of heard of this problem before. I would take your phone to the Apple store and speak to them about it.

The on/off button on a S5 is on the top of the phone. The cover does not effect the operation of the phone in any way.

Yes the small window has the same option as the phone itself where u can slide to the right to answer or left to ignore wile it's flipped closed the installation just refers to taking the back off and replacing with the case and then ul have an option to change the color of the little s view screen wile it's closed to 1 of predetermined 10 colors hope this answer helps

Never had that problem.... cover snaps tight. But, return it anyway. Mine rings in teh middle of the night for no reason (repeatedly). Have to unplug it. During the day, 50/50 chance it will work. Poor product!Fred

The talking ID can be shut off by using the menu. I haven't shut mine off because there are times I can't get to the phone right away and it comes in handy.

Sadly, no, closing the cover will not put the phone into sleep mode. You can easily access the power button when the case is closed, however, so putting it to sleep is very easy.

Mine shuts down after 30 seconds as per my phone setting, not automatically. I did not download the app that came with the cover as I did not want it.

Sorry I don't have a flip type cover so don't know. The cover I have must be removed.

You can talk with the cover closed, HOWEVER you want to make sure to turn the screen off before closing the cover or risk random screen touches that hang up, mute or something worse.

Supposedly. Every time I restart my phone, it warns me to press it on. It also says that my phone is not protected. I really don't believe it works right.

I always do, unless I'm using my Galaxy Gear. But, I would imagine the speaker (on) setting would be good enough to allow you to talk while the cover is closed. A note* - The wrap-around tab is magnetic and will hold the cover open for you all the way in a 'behind-the-phone' position, so it is not really a problem to have the cover open. Hope this helps! Merry Christmas! Self-plug: This will be the best answer. To other contributors, "Step it up!"

No app is required. The phone's smart wake up/sleep function is controlled by a small sensor that is triggered in the presence of a magnetic field; the cover has a tiny magnet built into near the outer edge. Flipping the cover open wakes the phone up, closing it puts it to sleep. It pretty flawlessly and I personally haven't had any issues in the months that I've been using it.

I don't think that feature is available with this model. I certainly don't see that happening. The cover stays closed with just a small magnet. I always press the power button.

if you mean so it does not shut off or lock after a certain minutes, go to settings, phone, auto lock, and hit NEVER. Hope this helps. bobby miller

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

Make sure the little oval/keyhole cutout at top of screen protector is removed. That allows the "proximity sensor" to work when making phone calls (screen automatically turns off when held to your ear). If you don't remove the cutout, screen will remain black when calling.

The tablet does NOT automatically turn off when the case is closed. The ON/OFF/Standby button is accessible when the cover is closed

I was told you can change settings on your phone to prevent this problem, but we did not figure out what it was. You may want to contact the seller to find out.
