A bit more of testing... If the WiFi signal is not that strong, the application does not work.... Is it possible to make it work even if the signal is not too strong? Due to the contruction of my old house in some places the WiFi is not that good, but still have coverage.
[Smart Unlock] SiberianLeopard:
So there is going to be a Lollipop build for the LG Phoenix (P505) and I was wondering if this will work for the device. I am also working on resurrecting a myTouch 4G Slide and am waiting for a Lollipop build for that as well. I was also wondering if I could request a feature to be added and will gladly pay for it on Google Play. I would like to see this for locations using cell networks or GPS. Say I was in my hometown and I have it unlocked. If I were to go to the town next to mine, it will enable the lock screen. Is this possible?
[Smart Unlock] mastroalex:
Would it possible to add delayed lock? I've setup the lock after 10 minutes the screen is off in the settings, but with this app it's immediate.

Edit: I've read it should read the settings, but it doesn't work on my LG G2 with 4.4.2 Kitkat stock. I've tried different values, lock is always immediate.
[Smart Unlock] cyberdionisio:
Works on Galaxy S2 stock rooted. Thanks.

Edit after more testing: Right after the screen go off, it work. But after a long time with the screen off the lock screen appear.
[Smart Unlock] gbalerdi:
Thanks this app is awesome, I have been looking for something like this for a long time.

I tested it in my tablet to see how it works, and its perfect.

However in my phone I have the same case as a couple of users before (corporate Exchange policies). This is not a problem of your app, and honestly I don't think it can be made to work.

I also don't think they explained the situation quite right:

For corporate environments, (big companies) the IT admins set certain policies to the employees phones. This policies typically involve mandatory use of PIN, and auto lock after a certain period.

If you do not accept this policies in your phone, you will not be able to access any corporate resource (your work email). So we employees are forced to accept the policies if we want to be able to have our work emails on the phone.

The way this works , is through the corporate Exchange email server. (that is why this guys called them "Exchange policy") . When you connect to the server for the first time, you are forced to accept security policies that are downloaded to the phone.

The enforcer of these policies on the phone is the Email app, that installs itself as an administrator of the device, and forces certain things on the device.

Notice in my case how the Email app is admin, and how it has disabled all lock types except PIN and Password. Even though my phone is rooted, I am forced to use either PIN or Password.

(See attached pictures now)

Now your app also sets itself as an administrator. What I think happens is that your app disables the lock when there is a trusted device/wlan present. But after the policy inactivity timer , the Email app forces the lock again, over riding your app. Since both are administrators, both can make lock changes.

The only solutions I can think of are

a) That your app had a special Exchange mode where in the presence of a trusted device, it would periodically generate some kind of activity (like a virtual keyboard press) , so that the inactivity time-out is never reached. This would have to be something without turning the screen on...so I don't know if this is even possible.

b) That in the presence of a trusted device, your app periodically checks to see if the phone is locked again. And unlock it again. Maybe this would reset the inactivity timer, or maybe the Email app will lock the phone again right away, I don't know.

In both cases the "periodically" would mean a time a bit shorter than the inactivity time out set on the device (the "automatically lock" setting) , which I guess you can access and know.

If you would like to try a solution, let me know I can be your tester :).. But again, I am not sure if a solution is possible, because security policies are actually designed to work that way.

[Smart Unlock] gbalerdi:
A question and a comment unrelated to my previous post:

a) For wifi, do you recognize a trusted WLAN only by it's SSID (name) , or do you also use the MAC address?

b) I tried it with my Pebble watch (which I believe uses BLE) , and it seemed to work perfectly. I don't know why you say that it does not work with BLE....

Gonza
[Smart Unlock] kantjer:
I made it work by using MailWise a my exchange client, it has a Exchange Security Bypass featue.

Works perfect in combination with this app
[Smart Unlock] kantjer:
It's both SSID and MAC address, I needed to add both my AP's at home. This gonna be fun when I return to the office in January, I have no idea how many AP's we have, but it will be a lot.
[Smart Unlock] gbalerdi:
Thanks [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] . You are right, a possible solution is to patch the Email app or use a different client. I have not heard about MailWise before, I am gonna check it out and give it a try. Thanks!

Still it would be nice if a solution can be found for the standard app, which as I said, I doubt it :)

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Same thing I was thinking LOL :D
[Smart Unlock] kantjer:
hopefully we can do it based on geolocation, or SSID only by then.
[Smart Unlock] lucasandrade:
I'm using Galaxy S III with Cyanogen, and since there's no Google Play Edition for my device, I had to download the apk file for this app.

It seems to work fine, but since this is trial, I'll have to buy it soon. If I buy it the regular way (paying at Google Play inside the app) will it work for me? I mean, if someday I reset my system, I won't be able to reinstall Smart Lock from Play Store. I'll install it from the apk file again. So, will the app recognize that I've already paid?
[Smart Unlock] sshark:
AFAIK this is a standard feature of lollipop. You will likely not need any update. Others correct me if I am wrong.
[Smart Unlock] kenkiller:
So what's the workaround to have a slide lockscreen even in secure areas? 3rd party or otherwise, root or without root for Lollipop?
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

Really appreciate this info. We would love to find a solution for this but is not our first priority right now, so we will need a couple of weeks until we can go deeper in this issue.

I guess you can give a try to the solution posted by user [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] here
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Right now the app uses the access point MAC address , but we could modify easily to add access points by MAC or SSID. This is in our plans . Location based will be more dificult because we are trying to do without draining battery, but is dificult for location based unlock , so this feature will take longer time.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

We will update the app again soon with some improvements on the delayed lock, please try again in a couple of days and report back if still not working the delay. Please notice than on android the delay applys only when the screen goes off by timeout, no if you force by pressing the power button, in this way the lock will apply always outside truted zones.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

Smart unlock has been tested on Nexus 5 with on issues. Please make sure you do not have any battery saver app, memory cleaner or any app that kills backgound process , in that case you can add smart unlock to the exclusion list.

You can explain with more detail your problem to obtain further help.

Treating WiFi SSIDs by NAME instead of MAC?

Hi hazex,

Love your app, thank you.

I have 3 APs broadcasting the same SSID over 2.4 and 5 GHz. Which means I have 6 MAC addys to add to the app for trusted WiFi unlock. Can you please make it so it instead uses the SSID and not the MACs, that way you can add a distributed WiFi network as a single entity...

Thanks!

Corporte Mail configured

The scenario about having corporate mail account configured might be the reason for smart unlock not working on my phone.

But the stock SMARTLOCK by Google works fine and disables the lock screen even though I have my corporate mail account configured.

Just for your information
[Smart Unlock] mastroalex:
I deactivated "instant lock when power button is pressed" (maybe in english it has a slightly different name), anyway if a setup screen timeout of 15 sec and wait, lock is immediate. I'll wait for update and report, thanks.

EDIT: I just found an update on Play Store and now delay works perfectly, thanks. I was running 1.0.2_XDA.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello!

We are working now on translation.

We have now EN , ES, FR, IT, BR.

If you want to add Dutch or Turkish is fine for me. But we need the app texts and the google play app description.

Anyone that can help with translation can contact me in a private message and I will send the strings and description file. Thanks in advanced!
[Smart Unlock] lucasandrade:
No answers for that? :(
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hi,

The Google play version is a trial of 7 days only.

The XDA version of smart unlock that you can download in the opening post has no time limitation, but you can add a maximum of 3 wifi or bluetooth points.

If you want to add more you can unblock the full version.

Once you pay once, you will get removed all limitations in all versions, no matter if you download from xda or google play. If you download again or in other devices, you dont have to pay again.

Nexus 5 / Lollipop 5.0.1

Very happy to have stumbled across this app.

Working flawlessly on my N5 with 5.0.1. I had almost given up looking for a solution - I used to use Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin to remove the keyguard when on certain BT and Wifi connections. This stopped working with Lollipop (it causes blackouts on my Nexus 5). I'd resorted to using Power Toggles to do it manually since the Lollipop upgrade instead. Hardly an ideal solution.

BTW - I am especially pleased that this app plays nicely with the native Smart Lock feature in Lollipop. I have Trusted Face configured. So now, on home Wifi or car BT there's no lock. Elsewhere, it scans for my face first before defaulting to PIN unlock. Perfecto!

Well done, guys. Buying the full version right now.

Hello,

I just installed this app on my tablet (Sony Xperia Tablet Z with Liquidsmooth 4.4.4) and it's working.

I would like to have an option to leave the standard swipe lockscreen enabled.
[Smart Unlock] lucasandrade:
Ok, thank you a lot hazex! Congrats for this great app!
[Smart Unlock] doublej713:
Great app. Bought the full version even though I only have 3 connections to register at the moment. I am using a VS980 running XDABEBB's G3 ROM. One "bug" I have noted is that when reconnecting to a trusted network and I unlock using knock code from a screen on condition the notification is telling me to unlock manually. If I unlock from a screen off state the app unlocks. I have been able to recreate the situation by turning off Wi-Fi then turning it back on and locking the phone before Wi-Fi reconnects. I can take logs of you think they will provide good data. Let me know which ones to provide. Thanks.
[Smart Unlock] yanleites:
[MENTION=545079]hazex[/MENTION], the app is awesome!

Thank You, just a small question, do you update the xda version or only Google play one?
[Smart Unlock] nilknarf:
Just wanted to say thank you, I bought this app straight away when i saw it worked the way i wanted, and with a clean and simple interface as well.

One thing though, I've seen a few people ask for the swipe srceen to still exist when the device is unlocked; if you do add this feature, please add a setting to still disable it, as the extra needless swipe would drive me mad, as it does with the default lollipop smart lock! Many thanks again, great work. :)

Locking automatically

Nexus 5 running 5.0.1

Great app!

Just wanted to report that since the update that supposedly fixed the issue, I'm still experiencing automatic locks upon disconnecting from trusted Wi-Fi. I use a PIN lock, and have it set to lock 10 mins after screen off. Please advise
[Smart Unlock] Q.Entity:
Full version. Working flawlessly on Z3, Z3 tablet and Nexus 6. Just need a dark material theme option ☺ I would also like to see a delay relock that could be selected for an individual WIFI or BT if there is no activity after nn minutes after entering that zone and unlocking.
[Smart Unlock] kasmanavt:
Do you have any plans to put this app in amazon appstore?

And one more question - any plans to make a tasker plugin so it can be enabled/disabled by tasker in some circumstances?

Thanks.

If so, please report them in the apps page..

They're double dipping and this is against googles paid app policy. If enough people report it, it will bring attention to the app and developer.

[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
I dont understand the purpose of this app. Can you explain more.
[Android Apps and Games] Meko07:
[MENTION=386274]thahim[/MENTION], the purpose of my Application is, that it helps you to use your Smartphone faster by using a service which sets the screen brightness oft your Smartphone to a user choosen minimum and if you Smartphone is in use like in your hand , then the service sets the screen brightness of your Smartphone to a user choosen maximum.

I hope it's clear now, if not you could ASK again ;)
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
Concept is not yet clear let me use the app to see what it does.

But yeah let's try it out:)
[Android Apps and Games] aniketh12:
I think this app automatically switches ur screen ON when u take up the phone and its elevated in the angle u give in the app and also the birghtness of the screen is changed based on ur inpu. Good Thought. Nice app. but there are many such apps already in playstore. But well done OP.
[Android Apps and Games] Meko07:
Exectly :)

In a newer Version there will also be a feature to lock and unlock instead oft changing the screen brightness

The new Design in ISM is really beautiful. Especially the app icon looks great on my 5.0 nav drawer :)

I'm using this app since 1 month and it's really usefull to save my battery life on my Oppo Find 7a.

New option / need some feedack

Hello all,

I am working on a new Version, which will be uploaded as soon as I have decided, how a new Feature will be shown to the users.

The new Feature/Option, let the user sets some more trigger options like turn Off/On Airplane mode, WIFI etc. when the phone is within the angles or without.

My problem is the UI, I have created a Mockup (see attachment), but I am not really sure if this is user friendly.

So I have decided to ask you all ;).

If you have some ideas how the new options UI could look like, please just post your ideas in this Thread, thanks in forward.

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] stealthdave:
Amazon made good on it's promise to launch HBO GO on Fire TV by the end of the year... mostly. The app is not yet available for Fire TV Stick users, for whom an app is planned by spring of 2015.

Argh.

More details:

GIgaOM Article: https://gigaom.com/2014/12/15/amazon-is-adding-hbo-go-to-its-fire-tv/

Amazon Fire TV page with HBO GO announcement: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX5P8FC

HBO GO App Page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089BPEZS

If anyone wants to grab the APK, I'd be happy to sideload it and test it on the Stick. :)

- Dave
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] binary01:
If it were as easy as side-loading the FTV version to the Stick don't you think Amazon would have just released it officially?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Here you go... Let us know how it goes...

HBO-GO-2.7.06 - APK was to big for XDA (20MB's).
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] stealthdave:
Not necessarily. In all likelihood, the HBO GO development team didn't have enough time to test on the Fire TV Stick (which just came out less than a month ago) and wasn't comfortable putting their stamp of approval on it. Or it works, but isn't as stable on the Stick. The bottom line is we won't know if it works until we try! :)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] ZeeJM:
I believe this version (2.7.06 ) is one I tried to install on my stick last week, but it would not work with only the fire tv stick remote or the android remote app as the only input/navigation device.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Where you a beta tester ?? I grab this today after the announcement. So might be something to try again...

Doubt it said..

Last week...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] its.mike:
Didn't work. Says I don't own the app and then gives me an option to get it or quit. Clicking the option to get the app, takes me to the HBO Go appstore page but says my device isn't compatible.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
That sounds new...
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] its.mike:
The app does load in the background if given long enough. It may just be Amazon's DRM and the app being tied to another account?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Do you own a FireTV too??? Even if you don't, maybe if you added the HBO Go to your Amazon account & then sideload it to the FireTV Stick it would get passed this point...

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Hopefully it is just a Amazon account verification that you have added the app to it.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] its.mike:
Just the stick. It seems that "buying" the app though the website allows it to get past the not owned screen.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Great.. Have you been able to watch some shows on it ??
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] its.mike:
I watched the Foo Fighters Sonic Highways. Playback is good. Navigating the app is extremely laggy though.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
First Gen Amazon apps usually are... Guessing they want to tweak it later for the FireTV Stick's... But Laggy is better the buggy... So it is an option for FireTV Stick folks.. Wouldn't be surprise if HBO might start to give FireTV Sticks away with HBO GO stand alone subs.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] m0nkeyf00t:
hows the playback compared to the regular play store app??
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] phage80:
I found it buffered to higher res faster, and has 5.1 audio.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] kbowman:
I can confirm the app works with purchasing the app on the website. It is laggy and I noticed the audio was slightly delayed. I almost support their decision not to bring it to the Fire TV Stick yet since it is not ready for prime time. Leave it to Amazon to take it's time on software though. Spring 2015 here we come!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] slamson1:
anyone know why this app doesn't have a watchlist? seems like a strange thing to leave out.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Mwc_Trexx:
Agreed... very disappointed in UI performance on FireTV. Not sure how much is due to downloading images in background, and maybe it will improve with some local caching over time, but feels sluggish right now.
