Hi,
I have recently tried to figure out the Smart Lock Feature of the brand new LG G4 smartphone.
However I was not yet able to find any working solution to this problem.
Does anybody came across this problem?
Thanks
Same issue here..
You have to set it to high accuracy.
Thanks for the replies. However, I have set it to the high accuracy - see the picture.
Any other suggestions?

Mine is not prayed out. Did you root your phone? Currently Mine is full stock
Works fine for me on T-Mobile version.

I think I cleared data in my places and my places engine then rebooted
I did not root the phone.
Restart did not help. Clearing data in my places and my places engine neither.
Any other ideas?

Same issue here. Mine is also grayed out. I've tried many ways to solve it but in vain. I am going to try jerflash's manner. It is indeed very strange!
I really wish this worked via Wifi networks. Mark X wifi network as home, and Y wifi network as work. I dont run GPS unless I need to. But it would be nice to have things toggle based off wifi or even just a general location. My work and home are 50mi apart, phone should be able to tell where I am haha

I've solved this problem!!!
Someone told me that "my place" can be only set on while using mobile network. If you use Wifi, "my place" can not be set on. This works with me! So happy I finally can turn on "my place" and use the smart setting. Hope this also works with you. Good luck! :good:
Oh, well, thank you. This fixed the problem. Thank you so much!
For anyone who comes here from a search: LG phones with Smart Settings only seem to work if mobile data are enabled. So if you have limited data allowance and keep mobile data normally disabled, you're out of luck.

There's one of these threads in every carrier specific Note 2 forum. I've looked at all the other ones and followed the instructions to a T. Anyone get this working?

Yep just gave it a try all is good.
Hopefully someone can figure out how to make it work on rooted device with custom flashed rom.
App reads flash count before starting , if flash value reads 1 Allshare becomes Noshare
You got it working? Man, I seriously tried for an hour to get it working. I must be doing something wrong =/

Yep.
Try it again but this time select help tab on allshare screen follow directions to the T.
Oh and also make sure wifi on device is disabled before getting started.

Turned the wifi off and it actually worked! Thanks sling!
No problem.
With Sprints version there was no need to turn off wifi first so I'm thinking its a bug that Samsung needs to address on are build.
When connected and you try youtube - anything data related a pop up will display letting you know wifi will be enabled allshare needs to restart.
Let it do its thing connection will re-establish .
Wow, this thing really does not work well. Wifi turns on by itself randomly and when it's on, i can't reconnect.

Ha I figured it out.
Simply Start Allshare app using pulldown Toggle.
Doing it that way will allow for app start when wifis already enabled no more crash will be had
Hmm it works intermittently for me. Hopefully the next software update will change that
Hmm I was never able to get it to work. Not with my note2 or s3. I'm starting to think maybe I have a bad dongle.
One question when you press the reset button on the dongle and the indicator light turns blue does it stay blue or does it turn back to red pretty quickly?
I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

Hardware related or do you think it's a problem with the OS?
No problem on GPS here. I get a quick lock and it stays on.
Using Sygic.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.
If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

Prefer not to root as phone rocks. And rooting will void warranty of my new phone.

Try installing GPS tools, it does a few logic jiggery pokery things in the background that may help

Using with Co-Pilot Premium and works great. Locks on quickly and stays on. No problems at all.
Can't say I've noticed the issue. I use Waze. My Note II used to constantly lose GPS fix. Was irritating! Hope it doesn't start on my M8.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.
I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.
GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

I can confirm that my GPS nav has been broken for about a month or more, using Waze and Google Maps
The latest System update released on 6/15/2014 has resolved the issue

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.
I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....

Do you still have GPS issues?
My G-900F cannot find any satellites at all. Think it might be a hardware problem I have
Yes, I have the issue on my replacement phone. I have to reboot in order to use GPS...

I contacted samsung & was told to take it to a service centre. They had to send it back direct to samsung for repair, will take 10 working days
I bought a used Xperia M for my mother.
Everything works great (i update to latest stock sofware) except wifi.
it says I'm connected but wifi keeps droping. When using chrome, it just hangs there and no page loads. And I tried using Fongo (Voip app), I can place a call, but after 10-20 seconds, I can't hear anything, and the other side either.
The wifi icon is always there, but clearly the phone drops the signal.
other phones/computer in the house have no problem on my wifi network.
Any ideas?

May be, you've been fooled. Oops, sorry!
Try reflashing stock firmware, full wipe will be great!

It's possible, but I doubt it. The lady that sold it to me didn't strike me as the scamming type. If something is wrong with the phone, she probably didn't know it. And either way, fooled or not, I'm stuck with the phone now...
My mother doesn't use the wifi on the phone, but if she wants to switch to using voip, it would be nice to have the option.
And the first thing I did when I got home was a full wipe with a flash/upgrade of stock firmware using Sony program.
I'll try doing another one just in case.
I read on other forums that people were having these problems, but no one had a fix for it..
Thanks!

but are you sure, you have try to repair with pc companion and it's still broken?
Yeah i just did it. I did a repair with complete wipe. It does connect to my wifi but it works only for a couple of minutes. Like i said my mother just uses the phone for calling and texting so it's not that big a deal. But I would have wanted to give her a 100% working phone...
I check around and on the sony forums some people are having the same problem, but no clear fixes.

Brother, have you checked what WiFi band frequency is selected, I had same prob when I had 5ghz selected and my office Wi-Fi was on 2.5ghz, I selected auto then.

The wifi band is set to auto, i tried both separately too. Keep wifi awake is set to always. And i tried a combination of all the other settings. The phone is set up just like my phone and my g-f's phone. The reception is excellent on the xperia, it just sort of freezes...
Anyway my mother came to pick up the phone this morning and she didn't mind the wifi not working. If she ever chooses to switch to voip, I'll either try to fix it or change the phone.
I'll try to look around in the mean time if I come across a fix. If I do i'll try it when she comes to visit.
Thanks!
Has anyone else noticed that their device does not automatically turn on wifi on their home network anymore. With WiFi off, it used to automatically turn on shortly after entering my home. All settings are checked under wifi settings.
Yeah I have noticed this in the past day or 2. I have had this working in the past but no longer seems to auto-reconnect.

I think we're the only people in the world w/ this problem. Can't find squat after searching everywhere except this thread.
Somewhere along the way it started working again for me. Not sure how or why but you might try using the smart lock and reset your home location or add a few other locations around your home that would unlock it.

After a few months, mine started automatically connecting to WiFi again today.
I updated Waze beta and Android Auto, so that may have been the problem for me, because I think it started after installing one or both of those in previous versions. I highly suspect one of those two since I have them set to only use data when either is started.
Hey guys,
Trying on this more active forum...
I just bought the S21+, overall great phone except couple of issue with Android Auto and Whatsapp.
I was able to fix the Android Auto issue (wouldn't connect, had to remove the latest Google Chrome updates) but the whatsapp issue is above my paygrade.
I scanned the QR code and everything works but as soon as the phone screen goes black, whatsapp is slow and disconnects often. Not completely disconnected as after I send a message perhaps 10/15 seconds later it gets set but still not responsive as before (S8+)
Any idea?
you can try other software to watch network connection status, if no problem, maybe that's compitability issue on s21+

Thank you, do you have any recomandation?
Not sure if you managed to fix this but in case you haven't.
You need to make WhatsApp a non-optimized app in the battery settings. That way WA will consume as much battery as needed to stay alive and to connect to WA Web.

No, it shouldn't matter. I was just trying to provide an option.
I really don't have any problem when its on mobile data but I do have problems with Wifi from time to time cause WhatsApp Web is poorly implemented with the app.
Sorry I couldnt provide any help.
