Hi there,
I just tried to set up Samsung Pay on my Galaxy Watch 1 (latest Firmware), in the procedure I need to activate the screen lock with PIN Code. I tried several times, I can´t ativate the screen lock (not with PIN or Pattern), so I can´t use Samsung Pay.
The Samsung Pay App says that setting up a PIN is not possible (after tiping the PIN in 2 times on the watch, no reasons are mentioned), when I try to set a Pattern or PIN in the setting of the watch it always goes back to "normal" after setting the PIN or Pattern (no error message, everything looks good, but when I get back to the menu to check if it worked it says "normal" for Screen Lock).
I also reseted the watch and tried again, same problem.
Any idea what I could do to use Samsung Pay with the Galaxy Watch?
I managed to solve this, I had to make a complete reset of the watch (including media files) and setup the PIN Code before I restored the backup from my Samsung Account, now it works fine .
Good to see your resolution! cheers

Howdy Folks,
I may have ran into a show stopper on the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Telus. I need to have a PIN on my phone or some locking mechanism that is secured, swipe doesn't cut it, as I have working documents and phone numbers that I don't want easily accessed. I have a blueant S3 and a Motorola 505 hands free bluetooth device that work great when the phone is unlocked. However, S Voice doesn't appear to work when the phone is locked. When I try to place a call, I can see the phone light up, and have confirmed that S Voice is initiated, however, it does not accept the voice command. I have checked my call settings and the make outgoing calls when locked is checked. It works when swipe is engage, however, this is not an option for me.
Something I have found is that if I initiate the call with the hands free unit, click emergency call on the phone, click the return button from the emergency call, S Voice will start up. Sometime's it'll make the call, sometimes it won't.
Are there some settings that I'm missing?
Does anyone have a solution?
I sure hope so, otherwise, I will have to return the phone.
TIA for your responses.
Thanks,
Greg
I found a solution. I installed Tasker and Secure Settings. In Tasker, I create a profile for when a bluetooth connection is made to my handsfee unit. I then created a task that disables my PIN. I also created a profile that re-enables my PIN when the bluetooth connection is lost.
After a month of searching, I finally found a solution. I still say that Samsung has this screwed up and I'm very disappointed that I even had to install third party software to make something work.

This has been a problem for me also. I don't want to leave my phone unlocked all the time. Are those two separate programs?

They are two seperate apps within play store. Secure Settings is a plugin for Tasker, so you access it through it. Here's more detail on how to set it up:
Profile->Bluetooth Connected
Task->PlugIn->Secure Settings->Password/Pin->Disabled
I then added an Exit Task
Task->Plugin0>Secure Settings->Password/Pin->Enabled (Set to my old
PIN number)
Perfect! I definitely wouldn't have figured this one out without your help. I'll test it out tomorrow and see how well it works.
Couldn't get it to work with Samsung S4
Great suggestion on using Tasker, but unfortunately, I could make it work with my Galaxy S4. I successfully created the macro in Tasker and could get the lock on the lock screen to disable, but I could not get the phone to turn off the lock screen altogether (I'm running 4.2.2 unrooted). Couldn't find the ability in Tasker with Secure Settings to altogether turn off the lock screen (not just clear the lock). My phone is set to allow dialing from an accessory with the screen locked, but the phone isn't following that. If I have any lock screen (even with no lock set), bluetooth won't complete the call until the lock screen is cleared (even if it only requires a swipe). After not succeeding with this, I also tried to use Tasker to activate a couple unlock apps from the Google Play store, but those too had no capability to altogether disable the lockscreen so that the power button takes you directly to the home screen. Further research revealed an app called BtWiLocker that is designed to unlock the phone and clear the lockscreen when BT or WiFi are connected and relock when done. I've used that for a day so far, and it seems to be working OK after playing with it a little to get the settings correct.
I got it to clear the password when a BT connection was made, and reset the pin passcode when the BT connection ended.
The key thing is to create another profile for the BT connection when not connected. This can be done by checking off the "inverted" check box.
Initially, I only got 1/2 of it to work where it will clear, but if the device sleeps it will be locked again.
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.
Because of health issues I have an app on my phone that first responders such as paramedics can use to see my medical history, medication, allergies etc., and lets me easily call emergency numbers if I am in a condition to do so. This app is from the play store and is one of the many just called ICE. Several of these apps have an associated widget that they can place on the lock screen, that can be used immediately, even if a password is set there.
The problem I have, is that if I set a password or fingerprint in the phone security settings, it prevents a first responder from seeing the lock screen and widget, and retrieving the information. Is there any way of getting the widget onto the password screen? I realise I could stop setting a password on the phone in security settings. I don't like having a password on the lock screen, because every single time the the screen is woken up, a password has to be entered.
I would be grateful if anyone is able to give me ideas of a work-around.

It is not the lock screen that I need to place a widget on. Many of the ICE apps from Play Store will already do this. But if one sets a password there, then it needs to be used every time the screen is woken up, which is a pain. Ideally I would like to be able to set the system password from the settings menu, and for a paramedic still be able to access the widget without entering a password. - Mike

When woken up, it wont directly ask for password, unless you set "directly show PIN" enabled, or when it trigger by finger. If its woken up using button, it will simply show lockscreen
i think you should take a screenshot of the condition you expect (turn off your pass first, maybe) to give us better idea regarding the situation.
The condition I need is that a widget should be available to allow a paramedic or doctor acess to my medical conditions etc, even when the phone is protected by a pasword. Maybe this is impossible and I shall just have to leave my phone unprotected by a password.
As far as I can remember Oxygen OS had this feature already built in.
I just put my I.C.E. Info on my lock screen. With my emergency info and numbers on it.
If your medical conditions are that serious, you should have a medical alert bracelet or tag.
After rooting my Samsung Galaxy s9 i am unable to set a screen lock type and it always remains on swipe even after inputting a pin. If i input a pin the only way to remove this is through twrp. Everything else works fine however. Is there anyway i can fix this?
Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.
I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.
So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
