Hi has anyone encountered the issue of the device unlocking by itself when a notification comes in and you are not looking at/face is not aligned with the camera for face unlock?
I have turn screen on when notification arrives enabled. And this has been happening even on magic ui 2.
Do you have SmartLock enabled? This will bypass the lock screen if a trusted Bluetooth device is within range.

Nope! I don't have it enable. This issue happens every now and then, not always, but often enough to annoy me
My SmartLock does not work every time, sometimes my trusted device is connected and still the phone isn't unlocked. Maybe it's the same bug?
go into settings-biometrics & password-face recognition- unlock device and change to slide to unlock

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'm curious if anyone else has had this issue. I have to enable a PIN or pattern lock to allow a corporate secure wifi network setting to be saved and for something else (I think for my bank app). From the G4 settings it seems like you can set it to NOT lock when turning off with power button (last option), and a 30 minute timeout before it auto-locks. Yet despite that, mine still seems to lock requiring a pattern input and not just a swipe if I leave it on the table for just a minute. What am I missing?
Thanks all!

These settings are under Lockscreen. Right at the end. It should work, unless you have another app controlling locking.
Exactly.. it "should work"... but it isn't. It insist on locking all the time.. Could the fact that I"m connected to said secure WIFI cause that?? (vs just having an entry for it)
You could try going under the setting for Security - Phone administrators. Look if there is something that is controlling phone lock.
I know for my example, I must enable PIN locking, but my phone administrator for that account enables up to 30 minutes before forcing lock. So as long as I uncheck the setting for "Lock phone immediately on power button," my phone will immediately be unlocked within a 30 minute window where I don't need to enter my PIN.

Right, that's what I'm going for / expecting. I have 3 in there, Android Device Manager, Support & Protection (Verizon thing it looks like) and AirDroid. Only Android Device Managers is checked ON. ADM can obviously affect the lock screen and can change the lock password, but I don't see anything else which would affect this timeout being ignored. hmmmm
(Thanks, BTW!)
I was looking at my Smart Lock section and read the blurb about On-body detection, which was the only Smart Lock I had enabled. It says "Just unlock once and your device stays unlocked as long as you keep holding your device or carry it on you." .... "Your device will lock when it detects that it's been set down"..!! So, I've now turned on-body detection OFF as, in this case, it's working against me. Seems it's not too well integrated with the other options (ignores the Security Lock Timer).
If I don't post back, it's probably working as hoped.
Disabling on-body detection has definitely solved my issue with the G4 locking shortly after setting it down on the desk.
SOLVED
Hello,
I have an unlocked HTC 10 and have noticed over the past few months that on occasion, the password protection is turned off. I have a password set up as well as the fingerprint reader and both work well. But every so often, I'll notice that the lock key is unlocked on the lock screen and I can swipe up without having to use my fingerprint or type in a password. This is not secure and is a glitch that needs to be fixed. I checked through all of my security settings and cannot find anything that could be causing the issue. Smart Lock is only enabled for my car and my home. I notice this unlocked lock screen when I'm at work so it's not related to that. Trusted voice, face, and on-body detection are all off. The only way I can get the phone to be locked again and require my fingerprint or password is to restart the device. The issue still persists with the new Android 7.0 update as well.
Anyone else notice this issue? Any suggestions?
Thank you
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.
From few days. My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. Is anyone is facing the same issue ??
Please specify more details. What do you mean by automatically unlocks? You get an alert or something? Does it unlock and launch apps on it's own when you place it in your pocket? Which biometric methods are turned on and is Google smart lock on?
Sometimes a random app opens when i check my phone. Currently i am using fingerprint unlock method for my device.
To prevent that, turn on Accidental Touch option and cure the phone

Accidental touch option is already on.
Check some apps installed. Maybe some of them making trouble.
On my phone, all's good. Hmmm.
My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. I am also facing the same issue. I am using biometrics and faceunlock . Accidental touch is also turned on. Whats the use of secuirty if it can be unlocked my pocket can unlock this phone without biometrics and face. I face so many times in a day. I read samsung s10 also facing this same issue.

Hey I am not having any issue like that. Turn off your facial recognition and see if it still happens.

Smart lock or anything on?
Listen, turn off all biometric methods and only keep pin/pattern and see?

I am facing the same issue. My phone become hot, and there is a message that biometric unlock fail for 5 times and I have to insert the pin. Meanwhile, the battery drained at least 7-8%
heat is normal while playing game, may b u shud try hard reset. Hope it will solve problem. I am using face unlock coz biometric unlocks takes time to unlock. Biometric i use rarely sometimes may b our screen has sometimes white layer of dust or oily . So that can be the reason for fngerprint problem.
Maybe u are using smart lock
Hi, Please check if you are using trusted location or device. If that option turned on turn off trusted location or device. I can not surely tell you where the option is because I will receive my device tomorrow. but there must be a option.
Just visit a service centre. Its already in warranty period. So dont worry.
a50 unlocks

Hi all ,
My samsung A50 also have the same problem , automatically unlocking while in pocket on driving, tried different settings as per various suggestions, such as accidental touch, home screen app changes, disabling of trusted devices,on body detection..etc..etc....
But no use, the issue existing .
But after a recent setting change, now its ok , some days over, till no problem. Try it , May be its workout .
And reply me the result ,...
Firstly make sure , all the normal settings are ok , accidental touch protection enabled /also disable the on body detection , trusted devices/ driving, ....the same is in the link of Smart Lock .
Then
Advanced Features - Motions & Gestures - disable the lift to wake & double tap to wake.
Other items will enable no problem , such as smart stay,alert,easy mute .
Try it and reply
Go to settings ---》 smart lock --》voice match --》while driving (turn off)
Same issue on my A70.
The "Accidental touch protection" feature doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe because it doesn't have a sensor, just the camera? Either way, the software is bugged.
I ended up turning off "Double tap to wake", as I don't really need that.
I also have the same problem that the phone unlocks in my pocket.
So iam trying now the options above to turn off some options.
I'll let know if it will work or not.
Yes my divice also unlocking automatically while in pocket
