Hi, i've been using the app for a while until it didn't work anymore (LG G3 with CM12 based Blisspop rom).

Now I've returned to a stock LG Rom and I keep getting a 'first time' message each time I turn on the screen so I have to keep typing in the PIN.

I tried wiping the app, uninstalling an re-installing, multiple reboots but nothing helps. Any ideas? :(
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
The app adds itself as a Device Administrator during first installation (which the user must confirm). Make sure you use the Uninstall App function in the app's side menu in order to properly uninstall it.
[Smart Unlock] latino147:
I had manually deactivated the app as device admin before uninstalling. And after the install it asked to be activated again.
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
I would try to install this App again, then perform that uninstall using its side menu.
[Smart Unlock] rassnik:
I'm on the XDA version on a Nexus 5, stock 5.0.2.

The app works for me only at the second unlock after a new connection to a trusted device has been made. The first unlock asks for the PIN.

Beside this the app is awesome and thats what Google should have been implemented in the first place.

Any chance to make it work for me on the first attempt?

Thanks

I use that app with my Sony Z3 Compact and Android 4.4.4.

When I get a message from Whatsapp and I want read the notification in the status bar, I slide down the status bar. But the status bar doesn't work correctly it stopped at the half way or jumped up. At the second try it slide down correctly. It happend with "Hide the status bar icon" too.

When I uninstall Smart Unlock the status bar works correct.

I use Sony Smart Connect but only to mute the Z3c in the night if its loading in the charging cradle. And I use the Stamina Mode but I put Smart Unlock in the exclude list.

I use the Google Version of Smart Unlock in trial period.

Anyone using this app on a LG Gpad device (or other LG device) with knock code activated?! I did install it and bluetooth connected with a samsung S4 mini device.... tried many times without succes....
[Smart Unlock] latino147:
Just tried that, no dice :|
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
Got it. Sorry, that's all I had.

Let's see if [MENTION=545079]hazex[/MENTION] has any suggestions.
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
No, that's the way it should work, it is not broken and no need to fix it.

Read back through the thread, you will see it explained why it works like this, and why most of us need it to stay like this.

Here is one post from the Dev explaining this, there are more if you read through the thread:

[Smart Unlock] rassnik:
thank you for the reply!

i totally understand that you prefer it like that, but i dont see any reason to not make it an option.
[Smart Unlock] pman4pman:
I did a clean try and now the unlock works perfectly :good:
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
I´m glad your problem has been solved :)
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hi, We can not make this optional for technicall reassons. If we find any way to make this possible be sure we will update the app, but until now we have not found a working solution to remove the "first unlock manuall" . Anyway we find more secure the aplication as it is now.

In addition I will say that we are having technicall problems with NFC because of the same reasson: We can not remove the first manuall unlock. This make NFC unlock worthless.
[Smart Unlock] rassnik:
well, thats a reason of course ;)

anyway - the app is great. thank you!

im pressing thumbs to see the option anytime in the future.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

If you get the message "first unlock manually" probably means that your wifi has been interrupted by any reasson (could be the device configuration, other installed apps or weak wifi signal).

Some users with LG G3 report problems but some other report that works fine, but personally I have not tested on this device and I can not really offer a propper solution, but the app should work fine.

Be sure that your issue is not related to admin privileges, the app is properly installed.

Please have a look at incompatible app list here to make sure you are not using any of those apps: http://xdaforums.com/apps/smart-unlock/smart-unlock-incompatible-app-list-t3019914

Hope we can solve your issue

I was indeed running Gravity Screen. I tried the 'Smart lock support' option, didn't work. I disabled Gravity Screen. Still the same issue.

The only thing that changed compared to my previous working combo of Smart Unlock AND Gravity Screen was that I now have a newer ROM Build from LG, 20H instead of 20E.
[Smart Unlock] UncleMike:
I don't care one way or the other regarding the slide to unlock, but bypassing the first unlock after connecting to a trusted device is a horrendous security hole. While I don't object to making this an option, I see no reason to give it a higher priority than more sensible features (which would include almost anything else).
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
I agree, I like the current behavior too. But if some users want to bypass that first unlock, and if the Devs should somehow find a way to accomplish that (@hazex has described the difficulty several times), I don't want to argue against it, as long as it is optional. That was the point of my post, not asking for that feature. Admittedly, if I could select to bypass first unlock for individual Trusted Devices, I might enable it for my car's Bluetooth, but certainly not for any WiFi.

Google's Trusted Places will unlock the phone if a thief gets within 100 meters of the owner's home location -- even if it DOESN'T connect to the home WiFi. Now that's REALLY scary, and I cannot understand why Google would do something like that.
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
Your comment above perfectly explains why this feature should not be used (especially for WiFi), even if it were an option in Smart Unlock...

I can perhaps understand why people would find the first unlock annoying if it happened on Bluetooth connections, but that's the purpose of security, to keep it safe...

I'm sure there are those who would complain that it didn't save them if their device were stolen with an option like that turned on.

Smartphones are not always used by smart people... :silly:
[Smart Unlock] PhatUgly:
I totally agree! The first unlock in a "secure" environment must not be removed. This is why I am glad to have found this app! The google solution is not thought through at all!

I guess some people like the sliding lockscreen as a quick overview when glancing at their phone so one could argue to activate this optionally. But for me the app's behaviour is just perfect!

Thank you very much!

Security Bug

I installed the app and it has simply disabled my screen lock security.

When I am not in a trusted area, the app icon displays "locked", but I can simply access the phone using the power button, without entering my PIN. I tried resetting my PIN in Android settings, but this has no effect.

[Smart Unlock] mrw333:
This app is fantastic. Early on the developer stated an intent to work on compatibility with Bluetooth LE devices. Any word on this or experiences from other users? I have mixed results using a Motorola Keylink currently, but it's not ready for prime time. Sure would be useful if it was.
[Smart Unlock] nmanx62:
S4 not unlocking on Home network?

How exactly is this app supposed to recognize your trusted devices/networks? I have not yet tried with my Blue Tooth earphone (buried somewhere deep in my desk mess,) but I got the impression this app should recognize when you connect to trusted networks and unlock the phone, but it does not perform this magic for me.

I have tried to remove the PIN-code lock on the phone after installing the app, but each time I wake the phone I'm still prompted for my PIN. I have not noticed any other impact on normal usage as yet.
[Smart Unlock] Sparco_92:
Is it possible to ask for the pattern/pin once when connected to a trusted Wifi/device? Instead of instant unlock
[Smart Unlock] HansiHusten:
Cant wait :)
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
It is incredibly simple: You install the app (and allow it to add itself as Device Administrator). Then tap the big blue plus circle to add your trusted WiFi or Bluetooth.

That is how it works.

I love the smart unlock on lollipop but hate the bugs on my Htc m7, finally I can go back to KitKat. Thanks.
[Smart Unlock] mysky911:
I am using this app on my LG G PRo 2 with stock Lollipop 5.0.1... When i added a Wifi connection, it work without problem to auto unlock my phone. However, after i closed my Wifi or leave to office, my phone still unlocked...... the locking only back to normal after i delete the Wifi as trusted device on Smart Unlock App...

Tried few Wifi routers, all facing same problem... After many cases of testing, it only work without any issue with trusted bluetooth device.. Please HELP!!! thanks.
[Smart Unlock] kcrussell:
I have the same problem. App notification icon shows locked or unlocked as I leave or enter trusted zones, but it does not lock the phone.

[Smart Unlock] mysky911:
How to disable the smart lock? So far I just put empty for trusted devices, places, faces.... Not sure any button to totally switch it off...
[Smart Unlock] :
Smart Unlock incompatible with unlock pattern for unpinning

If I pin a screen and select the option "Ask for unlock pattern before unpinning" when Smart Unlock is activated (e.g., via Wi-Fi), it doesn't show the unlock pattern before unpinning.

Could it be possible to allow to lock the screen just for this option?
[Smart Unlock] gerfand:
Interesting, for me it works, I have to enter the pin when I am out of trusted zones, and once for entering a trusted zone (and it stays unlocked when I wander from one trusted zone into another in unlocked and display on state)

Just as I expected that it would work - 1st gen MotoG Lollipop, Stock, unrooted, Pin screenlock, no other locking or unlocking apps or tools.

All Lollipop smartlock options switched off. Could it be that another app is interfering?
[Smart Unlock] mysky911:
I have updated Google Play Services to latest version 7.0.93.. Not sure does it causing the problem.... :(
[Smart Unlock] nmanx62:
Dude, I'm not a f**king idiot, I can follow the simple setup prompts. I didn't ask how to install it. Your incredibly snarky comment fail relates only to configuring the app to a network or device.

My rephrased question, smart ass, is this: AFTER the app is configured for a trusted connection, is it not supposed to recognize that you are connected to one of your trusted networks or devices, and then unlock automatically without prompting for the unlock code/pattern? As stated in first post with edit:

Would prefer a

DEV

to answer, so any follow up comments from TheDannemand will forthwith be ignored, thank you.
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
No need to be abusive, is there?

Throwing a hissy fit never helps anyone! :(

The title of your first post says "S4 not unlocking on Home network?" so we can presume that you are using a Samsung S4 phone?!?

If that is the case then you are wasting everyone's time and kindness from not having bothered to read the first post of this thread which clearly states:

If the above does not describe your situation then you need to give more information in a polite and calm manner. :mad:

In any case, with the very limited amount of information you have supplied about your device and the problem you are experiencing, you have no excuse to accuse someone who is trying to help you of being "snarky", and after that show of spite I'm sure there won't be many wishing to offer you any assistance. :p

Hi [MENTION=6481953]nmanx62[/MENTION],

I guess [MENTION=832590]TheDannemand[/MENTION] didn´t want to offend anyone. He was just pointing that the usage is very intuitive.

If you are having problems after adding trusted BT or WIFI , its almost sure due to your device bein incompatible or any app installed that creates conflicts with Smart Unlock.

As [MENTION=5959704]lin_ux[/MENTION] said, if you are using a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Stock ROM the app will not work as described on the opening post. In the other hand, If you are using Cyanogen Mod or a Google edition, we should find a way to make it work, but we may need more information.

Please, lets calm down and respect the community. I have never edited other users posts and I wouldnt like to start doing it now.
[Smart Unlock] TheDannemand:
[MENTION=545079]hazex[/MENTION], [MENTION=5959704]lin_ux[/MENTION]: Thank you guys.

[MENTION=6481953]nmanx62[/MENTION]: Indeed, snark was not my intention. I just meant to point out (1) about the need to add the app as Device Administrator during installation, and (2) the need to individually add each trusted device. Among the tens of thousands of XDA posts I have read over the years, I have seen far stranger things than if a user had overlooked one of these two points.

Had I been more observant when I replied, I would have noticed you having an S4, since the incompatibility of Samsung devices is indeed mentioned quite clearly in the OP.

Edit: Oh, you DIDN'T mention in your original question that you had an S4, so that's why I didn't notice it.

Edit2: Ah, yes, in the posts title you mentioned it. Sorry about that.

Request

Great app. . Purchased full version.

Have a couple requests:

If connected to an approved wifi AP, turn on sync. When not connected, turn off sync. This saves battery.

If bluetooth is on and not connected for more than X minutes, turn off bluetooth. Saves battery!

Thanks!

No probs, you didn't deserve to get your head chewed off like that... :mad:

Security Bug

Just to update on my previous feedback, I uninstalled the app and re-installed the latest version from the Play store, and it now appears to be locking the device correctly in untrusted areas and requiring PIN entry to unlock.

Nice app. I am waiting for the fix with samsung galaxy
[Smart Unlock] jl88:
Hi there,

first let me thank for the free version. Your App is really useful, but I think i found a issue:

My router has 2 wifi access point (one for 2.4Ghz and one for 5Ghz Band) with different mac adresses, both networks are using the same SSID.

I can't affect which wifi my phone is using.

So I tried to add both mac adresses to Smart Unlock.

First one is working fine, after adding the Second right after clicking "Update Wifi" i get back to Mainscreen with the popup "No changes on wifi settings".

I think the App can't handle multiple wifis with the same SSID.

So if you will not use the option "Add all networks with this name" due to security reasons, I allways have to change Network manually every time. Would be nice, if you can fix this.

hi

i started to use this awesome app, and i am wondering if this is supposed to be like this:

i go out of my home WiFi, the device locks.

i come home(in range of my wifi), the device stays locked until i enter the password. than the device stays unlocked till i leave my home wifi.

(shouldn't it auto un-lock when i join my home wifi?)

thx for the answer :D
[Smart Unlock] Nimueh:
The 1st connection to your home wifi after you've been gone always needs you to unlock it ... after that it stays unlocked :)
[Smart Unlock] etiii:
So that's normal. Thanks! I was also wondering if some one has tried those NFC rings, for unlocking purposes?
[Smart Unlock] mysky911:
Personally I feel this first connect locking should let user to disable it on settings based on person like... :D

e.g. If the person travel with bluetooth device as smartunlock setting, the bluetooth connection sometime will get interference by some electronic device, like microwave, and disconnected for few seconds...

Not really an option, bugs are being fixed and features added so it doesn't make sense to do that. Will wait for a fix on the app side.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hi, As you pointed CyanogenMod has changed something in their last daily build.

We will not try to find a solution because of a daily build. When this released of CM reachs the stable version we will look into it if still not working.

If they have changed something, they should solve the issue. Smart Unlock app has not changed and should work as usuall.

On stock android the app continues working as it should.

Hope the issue gets solved soon with their next daily version. Keep us informed! Thanks.

Android's Smart Lock stopped working on my Nexus 5. Google is mystified, even replacing my phone to no avail.

So, I've just started using this app. Having trusted WiFi points is much better, thank you.

Works perfect with my HTC One M7 in combination with ElementalX and Eragon on 5.0.2.

I struggled a little bit while I used Kangaroo kernel and Smart Unlock. Every time the phone felt into deep sleep, the screen didn´t come back, so I had to deactivate Smart Unlock for a while...

Now, after reflashing Elementalx, Smart Unlock works fine again.

Great work folks... :good::good::good:

Hello,

I used to have SlimRom installed on my Samsung I9505, and Smart Unlock worked like a charm.

I recently changed to CyanogenMod 12 and to my surprise this nifty little program does not work anymore.

No idea what I did wrong but I do not seem to get it working again.

I am running the latest XDA version of the app on the latest daily build of CyanogenMod 12 with standard kernel.

Is there a bug I mised or does the app not work anymore with CyanogenMod 12 and Samsung phones?

Thanks in advance :)

It was working flawlessly on cm12 nightlies up to version 03.19 I think. After that they've changed something in cm and none of the 'wifi unlock' apps seem to be working since. We all hope this will be sorted out soon.
[Smart Unlock] brigon:
It appears from reviewing the commit that CM perceives that they are closing a security hole which Smart Unlock used to function.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello

I see the changelog and looks like they have just modified the android default keyguard.

Smart unlock does not use any security hole, just use documented android functions.

Under stock android works, but we can not controls changes that Samsung or CyanogenMod makes on android default keyguard as CM just did:

"packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/keyguard/KeyguardViewMediator.java"

Looking into this issue, I have just checked in the CM code changes :

if (isSecure()) {	789

Log.d(TAG, "current mode is SecurityMode, ignore hide keyguard");	790

return;	791

}

I guest that if they do not revert this change the app may not longer work on CM.

Maybe [MENTION=2738303]KuRouZu[/MENTION] has something to say?

Im not a CM user rightnow, I will have to find out what is "SecurityMode" on CM to check if any workaround if possible.

[Smart Unlock] etiii:
This isn't a bug.. It's a security upgrade.
[Smart Unlock] KuRouZu:
It is true, but they could have been solved differently, instead of breaking the operation of the function responsible for disabling the lock, if you use a different lock than default slide.

Also, an application can only disable the lock if has administrator permissions, and these have been voluntarily accepted by the user.
