You may be experiencing any of these issues:
The HTC Dot View case allows you to see different through the flip cover. When the cover is closed and you turn on your phone using the power button or motion launch gesture, the phone enters “Dot Matrix” mode, allowing information to be seen through the flip cover. Certain activities are possible with the cover closed, such as answering calls, dismissing events, and dismissing alarm clock notifications.
Q: How does the HTC Dot View case work?
A: A magnet triggers Dot Matrix mode on your phone when the case is used.
Q: Does the HTC Dot View case have a battery/power source?
A: No, it just displays the device's screen through the flip cover.
Q: Will the HTC Dot View case drain my phone battery faster?
A: No, it is a low-power process, and only displays information when your phone is on. It will turn back off after about 3 seconds when your phone's screen is activated.
Q: What if the HTC Dot View case does not always respond?
A: It works best when the phone is being held and the screen is turned on. The right and left edges of the screen will not trigger the Dot Matrix mode. For best results, hold your phone in hand and either use the power button or double-tap the center of the screen (when Motion Launch is enabled).
