Chosen Solution
I am having an issue that has now showed up on both iPad Air and iPad Mini. After digitizer replacement - it seems the magnetic sensor are TOO sensitive. This means that when opening your smartcover - thereby pushing it to the back of the device - it now activates On/Off functionality. So far I have only seen this with Air and Mini but it’s getting more frequent. Any input here is appreciated.
Hi Mikkel Rasmussen, I have finally encountered one of these faults in the wild. My thoughts immediately went to the magnetic wake sensor. Essentially your intuition is right on the money: replacing the sensor is the solution. Alternatively fitting a complete glass and digitizer assembly that comes with the magnetic wake sensor is what I would advise for those who want a time effective solution. Though replacing the sensor itself is probably the most profitable solution. I hope this helps :)
