[NEW GADGET] Dad bought a new cover for his 1+ year old Redmi first generation at Century Mall for SGD 15. A flap cover with excellent build quality. The rubber padding around the edges added width to the phone but provides great protection.
The problem is Xiaomi Redmi does not come with smart cover function by default. Therefore the phone won’t wake up or go to sleep by opening or closing the flap.
The solution is in the PlayStore where I found an app called “Smart Cover” and alas it worked near perfection.
As you can see in the video, the cover has a window that allow user to check the clock on the phone but the app worked in a way when the flap is closed, you can’t wake the phone up even via the power button!
