Hi, I am getting a little exasperated as every time I go to the Settings on my HTC 10, there is a Suggestion to enable On-Body detection for the Smart Lock.
I don't want to use this function, and every time it comes up, I click the three dots to Remove it, but it comes back when I open Settings again. I don't use a Smart Lock on my phone, so how can I stop this annoying reminder from re-appearing?
Thanks,
Simon.

BUMP
As there was no response here, I ended up going into Google settings, activating the On Body Detection, then deactivating again, and that seems to have stopped the constant nagging. It would still be useful to know why the Remove option wasn't working, though.

This worked with my Nvidia Sheild K1 tablet running Nougat, who also wouldn't stop nagging too. Thank you.
simon your not alone, This notification as been on my phone for months now, very annoying ,and nothing so far will remove it. Why it says remove and it just comes back is beyond me. Google we don't need you telling us what we should or shouldn't do with how phones. Any ads ,and such should be able to be removed ,its my phone ,I pay the bill. This note from simon as been on here for a while how about responding to it!!!!!!!! thank you stephen
Thank you all, this was exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. Didn't want to engage on-body detection for I don't want to use any type of lock screen. Constantly annoying suggestion drove me crazy. Turned on the s**t once and then off again, happy now <3

I can't be the first one to need this but I can't seem to find it...
You know how the screen remains locked when you get an SMS (at least on my model of rhodium)? I want that to happen to all notifications. And if possible, to calls too.
It is so annoying when one of those happens and the screen remains unlocked, having my phone in my bag or whatever and things start to get "clicked", notifications get dismissed and so on. It happened a lot to me that I got some notification and by the time I got the phone out, it was dismissed and I was navigating the menus. Once I managed to call someone too.
Anyway, suggestions/pointers appreciated. Thanks.
Use Android, problem solved .
Honestly tho, I never figured out how to fix this in WinMo either. Drove me batty.

My solution was to install and use s2u2. It has a setting that will keep the screen off if the proximity sensor is blocked. It will lock for all notifications and it will lock in call as well.
thanks
Took me some time until I got the configurations working to my liking but it finally does what I wanted and a bit more. Will need to see how the battery is affected but only time will tell.
Thanks again.
Anyone else getting "OK Google" on their screen whenever the face illuminates?
I've only had the watch a few days but last night I noticed that I'm getting "OK Google" across the top of the screen whenever I turn my wrist to look at the watch. I can't actually say "OK Google" to access the voice input prompt but the text is still there. It fades just before the entire face fades but it's very annoying and seems more like a glitch than a feature. Anyone else having this issue and if so how did you fix it?

Thanks for taking the time to post those links. Awesome that none came up in a search. Reading the first few words of the first links gives my solution or at least tells me what triggered it. I activated Ambient Mode to see the face more and am considering disabling that anyway since it seems to annihilate battery life so far. Seems that disabling that setting will correct the 'problem' w/o any additional fuss. Also, I was coming back to post that I was finally able to say 'OK Google' when the little message came up and got the actual voice input prompt and after this it seems as though it's now gone. Another user said something about just saying OK Google when it came up and it went away but I tried this repeatedly prior to creating this thread and was unable to replicate the outcome. It seems so far that I was finally able to do so so I've got a few options plus more links to research if I decided to pursue it.
Thanks again!

Curiosity got the better of me so I went back to try to recreate your results and I think the mistake was that I didn't search this subforum. I think I searched the themes & apps section (I was doing watch faces when I discovered it) and came up with nothing searching that subforum. I started to create a new thread and realized that that probably wasn't the best section for it and decided last minute to create it in the main 360 thread. That would explain why I didn't find anything useful in my search. D'oh!
Mystery solved. lol
So I did a bunch of searching and either I am in the wrong place, or no one else seems to have this problem, but I am seeing the same notifications showing up on my Moto 360 over and over even after I dismiss them. For example, I will get the Google Now scores for sports events (some for teams I couldn't care less about) popping up over and over and over again even after I swipe them away. They are not even real notifications on my phone - so not sure why they are popping up in the first place. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
You have to go into Google Now on your phone and configure the card settings there. Should be options to no longer see cards you're not interested in, or tweak their content. Otherwise it will periodically update phone & watch with cards - this is just how the service works.
Personally I leave it turned off completely as the benefits are meagre vs demands it makes on phone & watch power. There are more efficient ways of keeping yourself updated on the info you need when you need it, IMHO.

Thanks for the reply. So even if I dismiss the notification on the watch, and there is NO notification in the notification tray on the phone, it is expected that I still constantly receive card notifications on the watch? That seems broken to me...

Ok, I got that, but again, my problem is not that the initial notification shows up, it's that once I swipe it away it keeps coming back. I suppose that's an issue with Google Now though and not the watch.
You are not alone.
I'm having the same issue.
Moto 360 4.4W.2 - Wear Mini Launcher
Moto X (2013) 4.4.4 - Google Now Launcher.
I'm almost certain that those launchers are doing it. Days ago I had a friends's birthday notification poping over and over again, it would back to my watch face in like 5s after I had it dismissed, when i remove wear mini launcher all that stoped.
Today I installed it again, just for sake of testing, since is a very helpful software. The problem started again, but now with a amazon delivery notification, so im uninstalling it.

Sorry to rehash an old topic, but I'm having the same issue..
The card in question is to do with sport, and I do want to see the card so turning off isn't an option, but when I swipe it away I don't want it to come back!
Anyone found a solution?

Nope, it's the way Google Now does sport cards -- if a game is in progress, it sends you constant updates. Even if you swipe the update away, the next time anything changes, it'll just reappear, until the game / match is over (once you swipe away the card for a completed game it stays away, for me). I wish Now was more customizable.

I don't mind if the game is still on, that makes complete sense, this is after the game...

Actually having exactly the same problem and it is specifically with sports cards. LG G3 (Verizon) 5.1 and G Watch R. I'll swipe a sports card away (last game score, next game time, etc.) and it will be back within a few minutes. Very irritating.
Hi,
I find the Smart Lock (using Trusted Places) to be very buggy..
Sometimes I find that the Smart Lock just stops working when I'm at my desk.. Whatever, so I try and re-enable it, but I'm never able to easily re-enable it. I follow the same process, but the lock screen doesn't have the unlocked padlock. Rebooting the device made it work, and I also got it to "work" by toggling "On-body detection", and then going back to "Trusted places" (or some odd combination of adding a 2nd Trusted Place). It's a bit frustrating..
It's also not clear to me how to enable the "Trusted places" option. For example, the "On-body detection" option has a toggle to enable it. The "Trusted places" screen has no button/toggle. I tap on the big tile/graphic of the "house with the 4 dots linking to the phone", and I believe that's how you kickstart it?
Lastly, in the Trusted Places screen, it has a note at the bottom saying:
"Your device will stay unlocked for up to four hours..."

So according to that, it expires at 4 hours? However when I wake up I notice that it's still active..
I have a similar issue were at random the smart lock will just not work and I have to log back into the phone, even finger print option not available. Basically same as if I was to restart the phone. The feature is still enabled so don't need to re enable! I was hoping that getting onto a pixel this garbage will stop happening after experiencing it on my old op6t but as of now the pixel works worse then op.

Ah interesting, so you are experiencing similar issues too..
I wonder if it has something to do with the phone temporarily losing it's current location, and thus forcing a lock on the phone? Not sure..

You would think but I have my watch connected to it as well both wearos or fitbit sense and same issue with smart lock, so not just location limited.
Noticed the same problem here. My old device I just used the rear finger print scanner, it was instant on and in, with the Pixel 6 Pro the finger print reader is neither in the best place or the quickest, and if you are in a dark place and don't aim properly, its a blinding light! So I thought at least at home I can use smark unlock. Worked fine yesterday, today it wouldn't stay unlocked. All settings appeared okay, my address was shown as a trusted place, I loaded maps so it get my location (it was already showing me at home anyway), but just not working.
I then removed my trusted place, readded, exactly the same address from the pinpoint on the map was shown, and it is working again.
I took the 4 hours to mean that after 4 hours you would need to sign in again once, then you get another 4 hours of smart unlock.
Just a buggy piece of Google software I guess.
Honestly I don't think I've ever had Smart Lock that really worked on ANY of my android phone. It works when it wants to.
Smart Lock has been janky since original pixel and the nexii before that.
I posted this question in the A13 Beta 4 thread but didn't got any feedback, so post it as a separate question to see if someone can help.
I switch to A13 since beta 2 and just updated to beta 4, everything seems run smoothly. However, I just found out that my "Google Assistant" lost the "beep" sound! What it means is that if I say "OK, Google" or "Hey, Google", I can carry out to give the command or instruction as I want but I am losing the "Ting" sound of the reaction once I say "OK Goolge" or "Hey Google". It's not really a big deal but just gave me a funny feeling as I would have to look at the phone screen to see if Google Assistant really working. All I can say is that I don't know when this is started as I didn't use Google Assistant for quite a long time, but it is definitely working when my P6P was on A12.
Can't someone confirm if this is just me or if there is a setting I can get this "beep" sound to come back. I play around with the phone for a couple hours and couldn't figure out any setting in "Google" app, "Assistant" app and system sound to have this be related.

You have to turn on an accessibility option. Once I remember where it's at I will post again

And then you turn on switch access but it doesn't make the system run as smoothly for some reason. I want the beep as well but I had to eventually turn the option off. Try it out. Don't see if you like it

Thanks for pointing me to this. Like you said, I don't like it at all! I even not giving enough time to see if it would affect how the system runs but getting an accessibility slider when volume button is pressed when "Switch Access" is turned on already make me hate it. I couldn't find a thing how this accessibility slider is doing but definitely don't want it to appear whenever I press the volume button.
I never turn on anything in Accessibility menu, always leave it as default. This seems to be a A13 thing as I remember that the Assistant has the beep when I was on A12. Anyway, I will try to make myself get used to this behavior.
