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 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?

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 ?

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.
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen when I choose the option "send to phone." My lockscreen is a simple swipe (the bubble one), no pattern or nonnumerical combo.
Also, when I tell the watch to "take me home," I have to take out my phone each time to set the location because it gets stuck on "calculating route" on my watch and says "check phone to continue."
Any ideas?
The watch is added to trusted devices in lollipop. .. .where you don't need to unlock even if you are on pattern or pin lock as long as you are in blue tooth range
Check out the location for your home is correct in gmaps

I am aware of the trusted device, that's why I mentioned I just had a swipe unlock. No pattern or anything.
It's correct in Google Maps--it even pops up my address on the watch.
Does anybody have a solution to this? It's very annoying (both the navigation and not bypassing the swipe screen when pressing send to phone on watch).
Which phone/ROM you have as it works fine on CyanogenMod?
I'm on the AT&T Note 4. No root or ROMs available yet :\ I could understand there being an issue if I had a alphanumeric or pattern lock-screen, but seeing how I only have to swipe, I'm not sure why it just doesn't bypass it.
So, I just moved from an "old" G Watch to a SW3 and Smart Lock used to work fine, but now it doesn't work at all. I have a LG G4 with LP and SW3 with current software version. Any ideas?
Few checks tot do imo :
Did you add the sw3 as trusted device?
Did you remove the lg from trusted devices?
Its working fine on Sony z1 andere current Nexus 5x
Search for "Trust Agents" in settings on the phone. "Smart Lock (Google)" sometimes has to be activated.
I have a G4 on MM and the SW3. Smart Lock is enabled in the trust agent setting. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It's the same with location based smart locking aswell as location based en/disabling of wifi. The G4 should stay unlocked while I'm at home and still I quite often have to enter the PIN to unlock it. Annoying.
Since I have that behaviour with both smartlock options the G4 seems to be the problem, not the SW3.
what i can think off based on that, that some energy savings settings are turning some wifi/bluetooth off after some time. That way it would ofcourse not be able to tell the smart unlock should be active.
location based smart unlock is weird by the way. google has created predified 'cells' all over the world, as soon as it thinks you are outside you 'home cell' ,even if you don't., it would stop smart unlock. unpredictable at least. Bluetooth device unlock has been much more consistent as long bluetooth is enabled on the phone/BT device.
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.
I am using smart lock with a Bluetooth device. On the pixel 5 also running Android 12, the lock screen shows an unlocked icon in place of the fingerprint icon, and only a single swipe is needed to go to the home screen. On the pixel 6 pro, the fingerprint icon is shown instead, and two swipes are needed to go to the home screen.
Anybody also use smart lock and have similar issue?
I use smartlock but it doesn't seem to work well for me. I have enabled trusted places, my Bluetooth devices and onbody detection.
I find myself having to input my pin even when I'm at home most of the time. Sort of can't wait for gravity box to be compatible with A12, as it forces the device to stay unlocked.
