This looks interesting. I have also seen a small Bluetooth device for your keys that works as a trusted connection to keep your phone unlocked which would be a better solution. Also using a Pebble watch or the like would work too.

Trusted Bluetooth devices: A must-have for every smartphone going forward

As far as I know, the Ultra/Mini/Maxx cannot do NFC unlock like the Moto X can, so those Skip tags won't help with an Ultra/Mini/Maxx. However, I have a Pebble watch, and, as a trusted BT device, it's great.
The last update put Motorola Skip Setup on my Maxx, so maybe it will work soon. Also, if you have the Xposed framework installed, you can install the NFC LockscreenOff Enabler module and use a NFC sticker/keychain to unlock your phone. While you are at it, get the GravityBox module as well. It has some awesome options to customize your phone.

One thing to note is that the Skip app is installed though I cannot see anything available to get to the settings like you can on the Moto X...

If you buy the skip and touch it to the back, it suppose to start the setup. I had to watch about 5 YouTube videos to find that out.

Not sure if your version have or not the NFC chipset , but the simplest way is try to download any NFC related app, eventually try AirDroid as some app’s wont be installed thru the marketplay …
Hope that help
On the I777, it was possible to get NFC (minus Google Wallet) with some smali hacks in Settings and a permissions XML.
I believe the ICS leaks enable it.
This is better discussed in your device-specific forum.
Most of the roms I've tested have the option available to enable in settings. If not, you can check this thread

I have the Moto App installed and still get the unknown tag error message. If what else I've read is true, NFC has different profiles, sort of like how some of my BT headsets don't support A2DP even though it's Bluetooth.
I will try the Sony one in a bit though, thanks.

The model's the Elite Flip, maybe it doesn't work because I'm not sure if the NFC's offical, I'm running an ICS leak, and I know AT&T for whatever reason doesn't want NFC enabled in the i717. I don't have the international version if that makes any difference.

That don’t made any change, the biggest difference is you have the NFC enabled or not … in the other hand i have see the MotoSoftware is not that much open in AD2P like he must be. But let me figure out , how give a kick in the nuts to both ATT & Moto and made the things work like a Charm.

hello world ,
first of all I'm really happy with my moto 360, but one thing bothers me . It is the Heart rate moniture . I'm searching and looking around for a app That atomatically checks my heart rate every 5 minutes and uploads the data to google fit. but in the past two weeks I couldn't find anything...
I know that moto body does this but I deactivaded it because I use google fit and think moto body is worthless. I hope someone knows a way or I inspire someone to programm it (in that case I devenetly wanna be a alpha tester : o)
hope to hear soon of you!
I use the moto 360 on Android 5.0.1 and a sony xperia Z3 compact on 4.4.4
u rooted?
how u deactivated the stock moto body app?
I'm not rooted.
First of all when moto body is activated it check your heart every 5 min (so every 5 min it turns on the green led.) if you go to the moto body app and scroll to the settings menu than turn of all the notifications and than it is deactivated. You can check it by looking for 5 min at the heart rate monitor!

shoot, I cant even get heart beat to register when the 360 is set to check for it through googlefit.... if i change it to motobody then it returns results in the guage but never get a reading when set to google fit.
But is there a way to make a app or anything for this?

I tried this app for the same exact reason, however, you need to pay to get the features that you want. Also its a huge battery hog. Im really surprised that these features haven't been thoroughly implemented in Android Wear yet. Im really hoping that we can get the moto wellness tracker a backup and restore feature, as i enjoy flashing roms and requires a 360 reset which in turn, erases all moto data.
thanks, great app
*bump*
Since the App got deleted on the Play Store.. Is there any other way to get the Heart Rate from the 360 into Fit?
Ultimately i was thinking about doing it with AutoWear and Tasker to use the Rates also for other things, like checking if you still wear the Watch or combine the Rate with the Active Tasker Profile. Things like that...
I just did'nt found a way to insert data with Tasker into fit yet.

The app just got updated to 0.4 maby your bug is fixed
nah, i'm doing it with Tasker and AutoWear right now.. The only thing that still bothers me is that i can't turn off the screen while Fit is measuring the Heartrate (or at least turn it off, after he executed it) because &screenoff& somehow doesnt work. But at least he also sends the Rate back to Tasker, so that i could interact with it. And this way i can easily check if it is Working, which is the Problem with Clinche which did'nt got my heartrate for 4 hours without me noticing it.
But i still don't like the Fact that i need to use an App on the Watch

I thought i was smart enough, i got the Moto Action latest apk, the latest update (March 2017) is dedicated for Moto G5 and includes the One Nav Button. Well problem is you cant update the moto action via google play because it says it is running the latest version. So i took the apk from another source. Turned out the installation failed.
Wish there was a way to bypass this.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Play/Moto-z-play-fingerprint-gestures/m-p/3615682#M2908 " There are no plans of adding this feature in the next update. If our customers are not happy with what the phone's native feature, there is Play store where you can download third party apps which suit your style and customization."
Getting rid of the nav-bar is one of the main reasons I'm planning to root my Moto Z Play. Too bad the one button-feature doesn't work there. I'd rather keep the phone locked (warranty) and on stock Android.

This app is an ugly workaround and broke the first thing I tested it with: When its running, long presses aren't working any more in Nova Launcher.
I really hope some dev will be able to migrate the Moto Action-app that includes the One Button-feature to Moto Z without the need of root.

I use this app. I assigned navigation keys to different swipe edge locations. You can customize settings such as edge width or swipe distance under edge preference. Use immersive mode to get rid of the navbar.
This app does not work perfectly on a non-rooted device as keyboard doesn't function well in immersive mode, but it has been working fine since I rooted my phone. I noticed that key popups that I type appear on weird locations though, so I just disabled that option.

Hey guys,
I've been digging through the Moto apps from the X4 to see how much is compatible with my Z, and to my surprise the Moto Display APK works perfectly and upgrade the Z's to that of the Z2 series, complete with the option to reply without unlocking the screen. No root needed, just install like any other APK. Thought I'd share. Enjoy! :good:

On a Moto X4.
I extracted everything that looked useful/interesting, have had limited success with most of the rest though - was really hoping to find a way to enable Night Display without root as it's the only feature of the current gen I'm sorely missing on my Z. A number of other apps install but don't work, like the Moto app (which demands it be uninstalled when launched) and the updated Voice APK which appears to work and completes enrollment yet doesn't respond to the ShowMe commands.
Lol makes sense ?, well hopefully you can find some more interest stuff that will work.
If your able to upload what you've extracted I'd love to take a look at some.of the apps.
Thanks

You can disable the app and then re-enable it. Since android treats this APK as an update it should revert it.

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing
