With Android One phones getting 5.1 Lollipop, has anyone gotten the "on-body-detection" feature in the Smart Lock section of the Settings screen? The Google website says it's turned on only for specific devices. Any update on whether or not Android One is amongst them?

on body detection*
Hi, my one m9 is 2.7 weeks old , I setup a lockscreen password and then smartlock , I realised that on body detection is missing .
I waited , just because play services might update itself,
but nothing happened.
HTC one m9 should support it as it has an accelerometer
Tell me what the problem is , is it that I'm using a topic old version of play services , if that's the case , could you advice me as to which one should I install . My current play services version is : 7.0.99(1809214-448)
Just for the info ,my one m7 has on body detection
Thanks in advance ,
sishirbaid
EDIT
it now works!
all you need to do is update google play services to :- Google Play services 7.3.29 (1866531-448)

That is only for 5.1 I think. We are on 5.0.2 now.

i think its there.. (it is on mine)
based on this article
http://www.androidcentral.com/smart-lock-body-detection-now-rolling-out-lollipop-devices
under Settings/Security (set a lock type first) then under trusted agents select Smart Lock
I had it on my m8 with 5.0.1 sense 6 but not on my m9. Used it well. Need it back. ?
Sent From My HTC One (M8)
I can confirm that the feature is on the M8 but not the M9. It was a useful feature.

Weird. I don't have it on my M9 but you do? I had it on my Nexus 5 but I think I assumed it came with 5.1 because they happened at the same time.
HTC support informed me that the developers decided to disable it in Sense 7. No information available on whether it will return with a future update.

well, that cant be true AS on- body-detection is a part of google play services , htc cannot modify google play services. well , the innitial release of play service which shipped with our phones could have been modified but i tried installing the exact same version from apkmirror and it still lacked the feature
so it certainly is not blocked by htc. idk what the real problem is , i hope someone gets it quickly, im dying to use it again. :crying:

It may be part of Google Play Services, but might Google provide a facility for Sense to disable it? HTC Sense skins the Android settings, so perhaps they just didn't give users a means to enable it. I'm not an Android developer though. Is this possible? I don't know which I'd rather have control here. With some things, Google is responsive and fixes issues quickly. With other critical issues, they are still present 6 months after being reported!

I remember reading about Google enabling Lollipop devices to start using Google assistant but it's now mid January and my device still has bupkis! I have tried the unofficial ways to get it but they all fail on my stock, un-rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I get the Google Assistant Launcher to install but after I do, a reminder it says device is not supported. I have the Play Services beta and Google Search Beta and still nothing, what the heck?
They recently updated Google to this crappy new style which removed the hamburger menu and puts everything on a disappearing bottom bar like iPhones, WTF?! Also it moves all personal items to this weird button that looks like a pimple art demo and the mail Google feed simply shows news? I would rather have my personal Google (scores, travel times, shipping info, etc) on my main page and click a button for the news.
Why does Google always fluck with sh!t? Does anyone know how to enable Google Assistant on the Note 3? Thanks in advance...
It's now almost April and still nothing? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance...
I've seen the app floating around the Play Store, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with Lollipop 5.0 since I'm running 8.1 via Lineage 15.1 (haggertk), but it's worth a try I guess.
Can't post a link as I'm still considered new despite being here for 4 going on 5 years now... RIP

Ok so I got this phone expecting to be able to install and run daydream apps and games. Looking on the play store aside from the official daydream app none of the other apps appear to be compatible. I could understand if some developers put device/screen restrictions on their apps but I don't see every app being that way. Is there something I'm missing or some change I need to make for the daydream compatibility?
** side note I just double checked and the official daydream app by google says incompatible device as well.

Ok so looking a little closer at the matter it appears as if Google is "automatically" giving daydream certification to most phones without LCD screens. As far as I can tell, however, the IPS screen in the G7 meets all of google's requirements. I wonder if they haven't gotten around to certifying the G7 or if they are hands down declining cert for any phone with an LCD screen. On that note does anyone know of a way without root to get daydream working on "incompatible" phones without root. I have to admit I enjoy root, but with all the manufacturers working to lock down their devices I'm trying to move away from root for the features I'm looking for. Unfortunately that means upgrading my phone more often, but alas that is the goal of the manufacturers.
I've been looking as well. Powerful phone but no good vr app?
I'm stumped on what to do. I tried to return my lg g7 thinq for the Galaxy because I am finding the Galaxy is being excepted with compatible software and yhe lg is getting passed by.
Motorola released face unlock app on the Google Play Store which is only available for 2018 phones. Can you please provide the apk for other motorola devices
it won't work, since it requires 8.0 and certain hardware found in these new 2018 devices
Moto Face Unlock App for E Series
Is Moto face Unlock App compatible with Moto E series devices?
I found an alternative you may be interested in.
Go to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> Trusted face.
Should work the same way?

It's present there from Android KitKat (4.4.4.) if you didn't observe.Its true that it does the same job of unlocking the device but the new face unlocking API implemented in Android 8.0 is much faster,better and more reliable than smart lock.
It checks for persons eyes after confirming the correct face
match to avoid the possibility of others misusing it while you are sleeping

If you are on a custom ROM with Android 8.0 or above there are ways to unable it but if you are on stock (7.0) then you can't use that even with the 'Motorola Face Unlock APK'.
If you are trying the smartlock @masivb mentioned then use Autoinput plugin along with it so it unlocks with just one click
First I thought why people hate on this os, I can deal with it, I love stock android but I have also used miui in the past so color os should be fine, but thinking that was a big mistake.
It doesn't support basic android 9 pie features like swipping right to clear banner notifications, a screen on time chart (leave alone digital wellbeing), dark mode of atleast some sort (all flashy white colours, cannot even take the amoled's advantage) and many more. Even a redmi phone with android 6 or 7 with miui 10 has all android 9 features and here's color os lacking even at the basics.
And even its own features are incompliant. You can only create dual apps for select 2-3 apps, unlike in miui where you could clone any app. Also what is this thing with the call menu when you receive a call, its of 2 kinds, one in which you have to swipe up/down to take/end a call and other being you just have to click the call pick/end button. They need to show their customisation skills there, wow.
And though the phone supports L1 liscence and has a hdr capable display it still doesn't support hdr content on netflix or amazon prime. Their answer to that is an osie vision effect feature in settings>display>osie vision effect, which btw to use you have to also enable smart slidebar(in convinience aid) and then go the supported app>pull out smart slidebar and then enable osie effect. All this then only to see that it says 'not supported in current app'.
Now the main reason for my frustration being not able to download files when the phone is locked. I put anything on download, may it be a video in youtube app or a file in chrome or any download manager app, it downloads only till 1-2 mins after the phone is locked. I come after an hour or so and the download is stuck there. How can one not be frustrated then.
So conclusion is to hell with color os, just waiting for a stable custom rom(pixel experience rom for that matter).

Yeah I know few development for this os in the process. For sot I use actiondash. Substratum works mostly on stock android so no use trying them. And yes about the background downloading I tried locking the apps, turning off battery optimizations for them but didn't try turning off sleep mode, will do. Thanks.

I guess so too. Because they don't have much time to deeply modify the OS.
I'm facing a weird issue on my Realme X. After updating an app on Play Store, I don't see "app updated" confirmation on notification panel. I need to open Play store to check if the app is updated or not. My play store version is 17.8.14. All other notification working like when an update is available, when I install a new app etc. Only I don't get notification confirmation after updating an existing app.

Clear data of play store & play services, reboot and let those update itself, then update your apps. Also check for if any specific notification is disabled for play store.

This doesn't help. I know all these workarounds and tried already. I have created a post on Google Community and it seems like most people are facing this bug starting from 17.8.14 update. And after 17.9.17 update, it's even worse. There is no notification from Play Store whatsoever (no notification when an update is available, when an update is completed, when a new app is installed successfully). Google has screwed the notification function on Play Store.
