I have lollipop and latest google services installed.
In Security I see an option to add smart lock as trusted agents
Then in lock screen options I select 'pattern lock' as my default and set smart lock to disable lock screen when I'm at home.
It works almost as I would expect it would work. At home I still see lock screen but the 'swipe' one with some apps at the bottom. When I try to unlock, it still asks me for the pattern code.
So it looks like at home it adds 'swipe' lock screen on my pattern one.
Edit:
Funny thing but I can click on the bottom icons and it unlocks without pattern and launches the app.
Still, if I want to unlock to home screen, I need to enter code/pattern/password
Is this an expected behaviour?
same issue here
Hello every one,
I tried to sync my G3 Smart Lock with my car using bluetooth. My autoradio has been added in trusted devices but when i try to use my g3 on my car i have a padlocker on my screen and when i click on it i have to do my schema anyway...
Any chance that someone has the solution or is it a LG issue ?
thx for your help

I am having troubles with Trusted places aswell. But, from what I can see in my case, the issue is that it requires the correct location for you to just unlock your phone without entering a code, but fails to aquire your current location. A temporary fix would be an app the fetches your location every time you wake your phone. As far as the bluetooth goes. It sounds like the app is having a conflict with always verifying your connected to the device while using it. Just an idea.
This is either a question or a feature request
When I have something on the watch and choose the "Open On Phone" function, my phone lights up, but doesn't unlock. Is this intended? I don't even use a lock code on my phone. I definitely want this to happen, just not sure if it's a setting I'm missing or it's a feature missing from Android Wear. Anyone know?
I've noticed this as well. I only have a lockscreen (so no code or pattern) on my HTC One M7. When I select the Open on phone option, the phone does light up, but the lockscreen is still there. However, after I unlock, it automatically shows whatever info I requested on the watch.
Right, seems to sorta make it pointless in my opinion. My phone sits on my desk in perfect view, I'd like the "Open on Phone" to just do that and unlock the phone.
Seems like this would be a "no brainer". I spent an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong before I realized I wasn't.
if your phone is rooted and have xposed framework.. install NO LOCK HOME... you can set it so when paired with moto 360, the lock screen is disabled... so when you click on open on phone it will open automatically.. also works with s5 fingerprint scanner
with this app, you can disable the lock screen when connected to a certain wifi spot, bluetooth pairing, etc
If you have Lollipop on your phone, and have your Moto 360 as a trusted device, it should unlock and open on your phone without any need for you to unlock manually.
If you're still on Kitkat (like me), it just turns the display on, then once you unlock, it opens to whatever you opened on your watch.

I appreciate this but phone isn't rooted, and I don't think I'd want the lock screen disabled when the 360 paired, that is pretty much 24-7.
HuStLaZ: Thanks, hopefully my Droid Turbo will get Lollipop soon.

this. you need trusted devices for this feature to work properly.
I can't seem to get the Smart Lock function to work. It worked perfectly on previous phone (Elephone P7000).
I've got Trusted Places (home) and Trusted Devices (car bluetooth) turned on but I still have to put in my pattern lock every time. It's very frustrating.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Edit: I am on Android 5.0 and Kernel 3.4.0
Smart Lock can be very unpredictable sometimes it works sometimes it don't. I don't have any easy solutions but what I tend to do is either use Tasker app to perform the same action or I have used this app >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.loadinghome.smartunlock << with varying degrees of success.
Does face unlock work
Hi, I'm trying to get smart lock to automatically unlock my mediapad m2 8.0 (at home or when connected to my pebble). I've added a pin code and Smart Lock is activated as a trusted agent, but I don't get any options concerning smart lock under the security options. I was able to add my pebble watch as a trusted device through a notification when connecting it. I was also able to add my home address though some notification. So I know smart lock and it's options are there somewhere, but can't seem to find them and they don't seem too have any effect. I still have to unlock every time I activate my media pad. Has anyone gotten smart lock to work and if yes how?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get Smart Unlock - Trusted Devices to work on my new GS9.
I have my lock screen set to: PIN, Fingerprints
I have my car stereo added to Trusted devices
In Secure Lock Settings it's set to: Lock the phone 30 seconds after the screen turns off automatically, except when kept unlocked by Smart Lock.
I've attached a couple of screenshots of unlocking it when connected to my car stereo, I don't understand why the first capture says "Phone unlocked by Smart Lock" but when I tap that it tells me to use PIN or Fingerprint.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Anyone have a suggestion to fix?
i have this issue with my Fitbit, my Fitbit is on my wrist at all times but when it comes to unlock the phone i need my PIN or biometrics, when i look in the trusted devices it indicates 'not connected' so i just assume the connection drops when i walk away from my phone and does not regain this connection every time i move near it again.
No idea why, but Smart Lock has all of a sudden started working as expected.
Could I get some more feedback about smart lock feature on S9 ?
I am on the fence for a purchase and would be very interested to use my Xiaomi Mi Band as "trusted device" to be able to unlock the phone with a simple press of the 'virtual' home button, whilst keeping the device secured when I'm not near.
