Trusted places on G3 with lollipop not working as expected

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.

Screen off and lock - Without button?

I'm used to switch off the phone tap (or swipe) of the screen, without using the power button. But this method for HTC 10 is not working.. I tried to put different applications (for example Screen off and lock), but they are in conflict with the scanner - scanner is not working . Does anyone have any ideas?

Custm rom will give you this feature but you'll have to unlock your BL

The only app that can do this is screen lock pro by Prahallad, but it's a paid app.
It's achieves this via a workaround, which has a side effect that the screen is not actually locked until about 10 seconds after u initiate the lock.

Gestures in Nova Launcher can do this. I have it set to lock when I swipe down on the homescreen. The one catch to this (or any other third party solution) is that fingerprint unlock will be disabled until the device is locked with the power button.

Thanx, u method is working...:good: ( Screen lock pro by Prahallad)

I discovered this behavior with the A9 and 6.0.1. What happens with a lock screen app, most will actually lock the phone, then when you try to use something like a double tap to wake, the phone acts as if it did a reboot, and requires a PIN to unlock. You can't use a fingerprint/face etc..upon a reboot...a PIN is always required. All the apps did this I tried.
The way I use a lock screen/wake is to 1) Root the phone, 2) Install Xposed, 3) install Gravity Box for MM, 4) Navigation buttons, 5) then use the Home button and set the double tap to Sleep.
Have to reboot after activating Gravity etc. You need to be familiar with Xposed and the modules/activating them.
Then if you double tap home to slepp. Then, also put your finger on the Fingerprint for example, and it unlocks and goes right to the screen. You can use the PIN/Face etc as well...but the lock programs always fooled the phone into thinking it rebooted, and only a PIN would unlock it..annoying. This method stops that, so you can still have security, and simply double tap to lock the screen, and easily wake the phone/unlock it with a variety of options.
Not sure if this is how you are using it, but none of the Lock screen apps will work. I've tried them all on the A9 6.0.1 MM. Only Rooting and Gravity Box will give you an ability to do something like a double-tap to sleep, without the reboot PIN always prompting you when you do unlock the phone.

I personally use the double tap home on venom rom.. Works well.
Double tap screen will be kernel based, not sure how efficient it'll be on battery so I'd avoid it and use the double tap home key, not a massive difference.

Using Gravity Screen to wake phone when you pick it up

I was searching for a way to make Tasker wake phone when I pick it up, so I just have to at it to unlock it. In looking into this, I discovered Gravity Screen, which amongst other things, can wake your phone when you pick it up, straight to Face Unlock. It seems to work well but I'm not sure of the impact on battery. I'm not using it to lock the screen... Really only using it for the one thing.

I've been using this app on my last two phones in order to be able to double tap the home screen on my launcher (Action Launcher) to turn off the screen, WITHOUT locking the phone. For some reason though, this no longer works on the OP5T, double tapping just simply won't trigger the screen off shortcut. Really disappointed in this, are you able to get this to work on yours?
I do also use its proximity sensor feature so that it automatically turns the screen on upon removal from my pocket, and it turns the screen back off once I put the phone back into my pocket, which triggers the angle needed to turn the screen off. That feature still works as intended, and better yet, preps the screen for the face unlock. And as far as I can tell, hardly uses any extra battery.

Hmmm... I use Nova Launcher and I use the double tap to lock the phone. I've never wanted it to not lock. I wasn't aware that there is a double tap action in Gravity Screen? I'll have a look.

It's not really within Gravity Screen itself, you'd have to use the launcher to set up the double tap on home screen to a shortcut. From there, you can pick one of Gravity Screen's shortcuts that allow you to either just turn off the screen, or do a persistent off screen, where you have to use the power button to bring it back on. I believe the problem I had with using the double tap to lock screen feature built into the launchers is that it forces you to have to enter in a password afterwards...face unlock or fingerprint do not work.

Hmmm. Not true with Nova. I double tap to lock and I can use fingerprint to unlock. However, I believe that I requires root for this lock method. Do you have root?

Nope, I don't have root. I did try the same shortcuts with Nova, and it didn't work there either.

have used the app on my old OPO.. now on 5T it's just perfect.. just pick up the phone.. and prepare for landing on homescreen without any tap or button press
does not consume a lot of battery

I've used this in the past as a way to turn on the screen when it comes out of my pocket

This application wakes up your phone, and it works well on my OP5T, it's called "Always on AMOLED"you can download it from F-Droid open source apps, Yalp Store and Google Play. I like that it is low on resources, double tap wake up screen option, lock screen clock, date, battery, custom message and notifications.

Cannot unlock screen with fingerprint, after locking it with a shortcut

Hi,
Iv'e owned many phones with many different android versions from Kitkat to Nougat, and while i was changing UI's and launchers every now and then, i always kept 1 thing permanent: I had a shortcut (whether 3rd party or from the launcher) that locked the screen when clicked.
There was never an issue to use this shortcut to lock the screen, and then unlock the screen with the fingerprint reader, there was no waiting time between locking and unlocking and this feature always worked flawlessly.
In my Zenfone 5/Oreo/Zen UI it doesn't work anymore: You can now use one of 2 options, either to lock screen immediately but cannot use fingerprint to unlock afterwards, or to dim the screen which will lock regularly after 5-10 seconds.
Both are the options are annoying, what happened to the way it used to work before?

Is there a way to pass the lock screen and go directly to home screen?

Hi All,
New to Samsung phones and upgrading from a Motorola X Pure Edition. The Samsung is an upgrade in many, many ways. It's sophisticated and will make the user feel sophisticated. But it has a few downsides too (camera) but I'm working to get the phone to how I think it should be.
I have Always On Display enabled. But when the phone is not locked, I can double tap on the screen and then instead of going to the home screen, it just goes to the lock screen which I then have to swipe up again for.
This is like passing through two locked gates in order to get to the home screen and this can be annoying. I need to open my phone quick or minimize distractions.
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen? The fingerprint sensor is not very good and if I have Smart Lock enabled and the phone was turned off but is not locked, it would be great to just double tap on the screen and go directly to the home screen.
Thanks.

I think this is the only way. But keep in mind it will completely disable any kind of lockscreen security.

Yeah, I'm not trying to disable security. Thanks anyway.
I just want to go directly to my home screen when the phone is off but unlocked due to smart unlock.

I had the same problem. Instead of having AOD on all the time I set it to 'tap once' to open AOD, but I realised it's basically a secondary lock screen, so I disabled the AOD completely and just use the lock screen instead, it not only provides more info than the AOD but it's also a lock screen where the AOD is just a novelty and an extra gate. I just double tap to wake the lock screen instead of single tap to open AOD.

I took your advice and turned off AOD. Phone is better this way, and I'm not missing much with the AOD off.
Thanks.
