Works great on my Moto 2014 with Lollipop

I had been using a combination of Tasker, Autolocation and Secure settings on my old Moto G and newer Moto X (2014) (both running Kit Kat) to unlock my device and keep it unlocked when I was attached to my home network. This had always worked perfectly for me until my recent upgrade of my Moto X to Lollipop. As other users have stated, the smart unlock built into Lollipop leaves a whole lot to be desired. One big issue for me was that you cannot set your home router as a trusted device. I had to rely on Android 5.0's ability to detect that I was at my home address and set that location as a trusted location. Unfortunately, when I am in my home my cell signal can be somewhat weak at times and this presented problems for Android 5.0. The cell signal going in and out confused my phone and even though it was connected to my home WiFi, as far as Android 5.0 was concerned....I was at home, I wasn't at home, I was at home, I wasn't at home...you get the picture. I never had that problem with Autolocation but I cannot tell Android 5.0 to use the much superior Autolocation for it's Geofencing so the combination of lack of home router as a trusted device, weak cell signal and not the best geofencing made Android 5.0's smart unlock solution pretty much useless for me. I would have gladly simply continued to utilize what had been working for me the past few years (Tasker, Autolocation and Secure Settings) but the upgrade to Lollipop has caused some issues with Lollipop and Secure Settings and I have found that my old and always 100% reliable solution no longer was reliable. Timing is everything though and along comes TK on the XDA home page with his video clip on this app. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the developers of this app and to TK for bringing it to our attention (yes, I probably should have been paying more attention). This app has solved the problem. I still use Tasker along with Autolocation to control when my WiFi is turned on and off and to attach me back to my home router (this combination has proven to be 100% reliable) and I then have your Smart Unlock app set to trust my home router (home network) as a trusted device. Works like a charm and is everything the built-in smart unlock of Lollipop should have been but fails miserably to be. I am currently using to "XDA" version of your app but am going to head on over to the app store to purchase the full version. Everyone who finds that the app works for them and is utilizing the XDA version should do the same. Great app development like this should be supported by all of us. Thank you once again.
[Smart Unlock] griffin_1:
Interesting app and i really like the (material) design of it.

Im looking into use a app like this to combine with a miband (bluetooth) but i haven't been able to find one that limits range, meaning, it would only unlock at a certain range(ideally, with a stronger signal/very close to the phone). Is there any plans to add that? Or is this even possible to do? If so, i leave this comment as a suggestion :)

Very useful

Works great on my HTC One M8 international version running lollipop from OTA.

But seems to be unstable on my Samsung Captivate running CM11. It runs good. However, before I installed this I have AcDisplay and pattern lock. After installation and set up, both AcDisplay and the pattern lock are gone. Then I turned wi-fi off to check if the lock screens are back, at first I didn't get my lock screen and AcDisplay back but I figured it was only because of my phone being slow, but after a few tries they were back. But now after I turned wi-fi back on, the pattern lock is gone but AcDisplay is still working. I like it though, I just found it weird. Maybe caused by slow phone too and/or because it was the first set up. Just felt like sharing it.

Both devices are connected to the same wireless network. And I'm using the XDA version. . I haven't tried bluetooth on both devices though.

Hope this helps. Great app :D
[Smart Unlock] XPLAYMAKAX:
This is a great concept great job guys... Hopefully you guys can find a fix for the note 4 I would really like to run this app since I'm with Verizon and there's no root yet this would be ideal...

Doesn't work for me

Doesn't work on a Galaxy S4 Mini running CM 11 ROM and Apex launcher. Added my WiFi as trusted device. Icon shows up in the status bar and notification says the device is unlocked, but actually it isn't and lock screen comes up every time.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello, as detailed at opening post, Smart Unlock does not works with Samsung devices (touchwiz roms), but if you have flashed CyanogeMod it should work fine as it does on any Cyanogen. Probably the issue can be related to any of your installed apps, we have already found several apps (llama profiles, Clean Master, ... ) that when installed on the same phone than Smart Unlock, makes Smart unlock unestable.

If you use memory cleaners, speed booster apps or task cleaners make sure you add Smart Unlock to the Ignore /trusted /white List.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
If Samsung does not collaborate we will not be able to make this to work on Samsung Roms. Their android core modifications ignore android native locking and unlocking functions.
[Smart Unlock] cabrote:
I have installed the XDA version. Great app, but have few issues:

- I select to hide notifications but the status bar icon remains.

- Google play ask to update app. But will update to trial version. XDA version should have a more recent date to avoid this
[Smart Unlock] Tyronnster:
Hi I removed a trusted device but won't let me add a new one as says only 3 trusted but Two are selected

Not working with Huawei Ascend Mate 7 with fingerprint scanner

OK, tried it on my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 which has a fingerprint scanner and it doesn't work.

It won't bypass the pin/ fingerprint scan although it insists it unlocked my phone.

Too bad because my OnePlus supports this out of the box and I hoped I could do the same trick now on my Mate 7 :(
[Smart Unlock] CHeonix:
Very well put and I really like your workarounds. If Microsoft would incorporate the use of a trusted device for unlocking in their Exchange policies, rather than just a PIN or pattern, that would be the ultimate solution. I'm sure that it will come about eventually, with the advent of feature rich smart watches and the like, but not soon enough I'm afraid. Most of us know how quickly Microsoft moves. As authentication methods advance, so too should the policies that go along with them.

Kudos to the dev for making this a possibility for those who are not on Lollipop, or a version that doesn't support unlocking with a trusted device/wlan! I was really hoping this would work for me, as entering a pin to unlock my phone is not ideal in the user-friendly sense, but is in a corporate security sense.
[Smart Unlock] csendre:
As I mentioned there is no trace of touchwiz on my phone. I am running CM11 and using Apex as a launcher. I do not use any memory cleaners, speed boosters or task cleaners either.

Is therer a way to detect which app could be interfering?
[Smart Unlock] Horacek:
The application doesn't work properly in my Xperia Z2.

When the phone is unlock, application correctly detect trusted wifi and indicates that the device is unlock. However, when I want to wake up the phone it asks for pin code - the application icon in notification bar indicates locked device...

I have another two application as Device administrators with similar right as Smart Unlock (Eset Mobile Security and my Xperia) - do you think that this might be the problem?

Edit - I disabled the other device admins and it didn't help...
[Smart Unlock] cabrote:
Works perfect in Moto G 2014. To disable icon in status bar I had to deny notification from this App in setup menu.
[Smart Unlock] till22:
Works really well and is even easier to setup than I had expected it to be :)
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello, We have tested on Z2 succesfully. (stock rom, no other apps installed on device)

There are other apps that may conflict with Smart Unlock, not only batter optmicers and task killers, I´m working on a list of incompatible apps like for example "ACdisplkay" , "Clean Master" or others. Please let us know if you detect what app is causing your issues. Thanks

when i'm on "trusted" wifi, and connected to pc via usb, Smart Unlock is messed up and didn't work and lockscreen is active

keeping installed and trying a little more options.
[Smart Unlock] Wim212:
Workaround to add 2nd BT while having 1 WiFI and 1 BT already.

When you add 2 bluetooth devices at once (after having already one WiFi), it does work. If you go back to the home screen of the app in between adding BT devices, the 3rd (2nd BT) can not be added. If you face this problem, remove all networks, add WiFi, go back to home screen in the app and add all your BT devices at once.

Can it be used to unlock based on location of the user?
[Smart Unlock] tmcthree:
Samsung Galaxy s4 - 4.4.2

Works perfectly so far. Very handy.

The only minor criticism I'd make is that when using the stock screen lock, i normally at set it to lock 15 seconds after I switch the screen off, rather than instantly. Your app doesnt seem to support this. Which is a slight shame.

But other than that minor quibble, good job, thanks.
[Smart Unlock] DoctorBRR:
Working perfectly on my Motorola Moto G 1st generation (XT1033 - Brazil), with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop...

Thank you for providing a version for members of XDA.

GS3 - SlimKat 4.4.4

Installs fine, everytime I try to set up a wifi location trigger within the app it crashes. I know it's a Galaxy but I'm not running TouchWiz so I thought it would work. Hoping I get to use your app eventually.
[Smart Unlock] dimex:
Love the app. I'm curious if you have any ETA on NFC Unlock or if you need a beta tester, because I'm your guy for that. I'll test the NFC all day long.

I have an NFC implant and use that to unlock my phone. I stayed on KitKat because of Xposed and NFCLockScreenOff Enabler module. With that combination I tap my implant with screen off (polling is enabled with screen off using module) and it unlocks straight to the homescreen.

Unfortunately, Lollipop currently breaks things and makes it hard. As you know, smart unlock makes you scan the tag and then swipe a second keyguard once it initiates the tag, making the process twice as long and awkward when scanning my implant. Getting rid of the keyguard with Secure Settings/Tasker renders the phone useless as it causes a Black Screen of Death and unresponsive nav bar.

As an NFC unlock user, functionality that allows to choose NFC polling mode (screen on unlocked, screen on locked, screen off) and the ability to go straight to homescreen after scan would make this the ultimate app.

I would greatly promote this within the NFC implant/biohacker community (not that I would need to, everyone would buy it if it did these things). I'll gladly beta test for you. I'm running a Nexus 5 and can use a stock ROM or whatever you need.
[Smart Unlock] quickreactor:
So I really like this app. It works well with my pebble. Never I also like to connect Bluetooth headphones at certain times (meelectronics af32). They are on the trusted device list also. But whenever I connect and then disconnect them it goes back to locked despite still being connected to the trusted pebble. Anyone got a solution?
[Smart Unlock] j.c.briggs:
I also have a stock HTC One M8 (Sprint) on 4.4.4 and HTC Sense 6.0 and it isn't working properly. It detects the safe zone but always gives a notification that says "Safe Zone detected first unlock manually." I see that notification come through MIghty Text desktop notifications. How can I help debug?

Edit: I have Airwatch installed. Does the corporate security requirements effect Smart Unlock?
[Smart Unlock] klegan:
I have a stock rooted lg g3 on att. Mine would randomly unlock mostly wouldn't work though
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello, Probably the Airwatch has relation to your issue. Exchange policys make our app to fail, so I guess any other corporate security that modifys lockscreen in any way may broke Smart Unlock normal behaviour.
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
Pleased to inform that it works great on the Huawei G526 and Y550 models.

Fantastic job, keep up the good work guys!
[Smart Unlock] MathewBrack:
Is there a rough ETA for NFC support?
[Smart Unlock] zenrage:
I have a stock Nexus 10 with android 5.0.2 (it was wiped on 5.0.1) and it seems to have stopped working while using your XDA version. I'm not even sure it ever worked, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for a few days. (BTW, Nexus 10 is a device made by Samsung...for Google)

I have a pattern lock.

It seemed to work fine for a few days (maybe?) but now it simply refuses to recognize EITHER the wifi at my house (which could be wifi sleeping), or the newly added Bluetooth pairing (which is ALWAYS on and present - I assure you). The device is 6ft aways at all times. I tend NOT to leave the tablet plugged in with power.

Any chance this XDA version could be treating me like a 7 day eval? My version number says 1.3.7_xda. I have reinstalled to no avail. Including re-adding the trusted devices.

I have already found and disabled the Trust Agent for the built in Smart Lock from Google. I also removed all devices for that feature. The only other Device Administrator I have is Android Device Manager.

I have no battery saver apps or memory cleaners or other silly crap like that.

I use the screen locking and battery saving features of the OS only.

I have Lookout

I use Nova Launcher

Any ideas why your app doesn't work? Keep in mind, as a Nexus 10 it is pretty much the basic Android experience. It really should be this hard to get working. Are there specific features and apps that are known to conflict with your app? (if there are, they should listed in BOTH the Google Play Store app details AND the first post here)

Any thoughts as to creating a log file that users can review to determine the source of the issue? That might be useful.

Bug on HTC One X

Hello,

I hope that this problem was not mentioned before since I didn't run through the 11 pages of posts and checked :angel:

I found your app when I was thinking about creating something similar, so first of all: great idea and great app ;)

Now to my "problem":

Sometimes the lock screen will show up even though the phone actually is unlocked. In those cases I can avoid entering the PIN by pushing the back button though. I think to have figured out that it (only) happens when I am accessing an app through a notification from the status bar. So if I open e.g. WhatsApp from the shortcut on the home screen there is no lock screen but if I open it from a notification in the status bar there is a ("skipable") lock screen.

Some details on my phone:

HTC One X (endeavoru)

Original (HTC) Android 4.2.2

Last but not least I want to make a suggestion: I think that it would be reasonable if users were sent to the lock screen when they want to change something about the configuration of Smart Unlock even if the phone is unlocked. Or at least if there was an option to choose if people want to protect the Smart Unlock settings by entering a/their PIN.

Cheers, BoeHmaN
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
Nope, it uses wifi or bluetooth connections to switch itself.
[Smart Unlock] ButtonBoy:
Works great on my Galaxy S3 with CM11.
[Smart Unlock] ButtonBoy:
I installed this on my wife's phone too. She really needed this feature for use in her car. She has a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, and uses the Newby screen interface. I've looked closely at the behavior, and I can't see any problems after several hours of the un/lock cycles and all sorts of shell interactions.

Update:

Using Samsung's timed delay lock feature keeps this from working. I had to uninstall.Sigh.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

We have been developing NFC unlock method but we are facing a problem: “First unlock must be manuall”. So the unlock will not work with one-tap contact. If you keep your device all the time touching the NFC (for example a sticker on a table) the app would work fine after first unlock manual, but if you want to unlock with a one tap contact, we have not achieved this yet.

We have found a working solution for the mentioned issue, but this solution will only work if the phone is using pin unlock and would not work with pattern unlock.

We will develop extra funcionality for the users that have their lock method set to PIN, but the development will take around 2 months now on, so I would expect this by the begginig of april.

Thanks for your patience
[Smart Unlock] tim_h:
Hi hazex,

great app - works flawlessly on HTC One M8 (stock) under Lollipop. Thank you!

Two suggestions:

1) Could you make it optional to have to enter the pin once after reconnect? I for one would like to not have to enter the pin at all.

2) As also somebody wrote before, it would be nice if one were able to set "swipe to unlock" rather than nothing at all when the device is unlocked. (I am not referring to setting a security pattern.)

I am sure many people, including myself, would find this added flexibility great. :)

Cheers,

Tim
[Smart Unlock] Tyronnster:
Agree with number 2
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
It ain't broke so don't fix it...

I'll vote against both of those ideas, it's great the way it is.

[1] Having to enter the unlock pin or pattern is logical after having it locked, just so as to keep the function secure no matter where it is used. Gives complete peace of mind. As the saying goes: It ain't broke so don't fix it...

[2] The whole point of having it unlocked is to remove the extra interactive step needed to get into the device, needing to swipe seems pointless, might just as well set a simple "swipe like" pattern and be secure without the need for running Smart Unlock.

I'm sure that if the hazex is easily able to add these features he will, but for the time being I feel that he is on the correct path and there is no need to waste time on changing the direction he is heading in.

Cheers :D
[Smart Unlock] tim_h:
I agree these suggestions are low priority. But they would be nice to have and probably not difficult to implement. If there is a risk that the UI gets too complex for newbies, these options could even be hidden in some kind of "expert mode".

But more importantly than this, I have found a problem: I use my Pebble smartwatch as trusted BT device. When the Pebble is connected and I also connect my BT car audio adapter, Smart Unlock seems to think that the Pebble was disconnected (which it isn't) and consequently locks the phone. In fact I have to manually disconnect the Pebble and reconnect it for Smart Unlock to rediscover it and unlock the phone again. I hope hazex can find and fix that bug, as it is rather annoying. If I can help test anything, I would be happy to do so.

Cheers,

Tim
[Smart Unlock] Dovidhalevi:
Previously requested idea: Means to toggle smart-locking. Would be useful "live."

Use case: Testing something new on the lockscreen. So want to defeat the module momentarily without jumping through hoops. Make my test, reactivate, smile :)
[Smart Unlock] lin_ux:
Sorry, but that's another minus vote from me...

It's so easy to open the app and click "Stop and exit", then do all the testing I want, before restarting the app. I've been doing that frequently and don't find it a chore, or a hoop to jump thorough at all, especially as this method means I can smile :D all the time because there is no fear of noobs :silly: accidentally disabling the function and reducing their security.

The KISS principle (Keep it simple, stupid) suits this app hands down, especially as it's an app with no need for root which obviously restricts its abilities to do odd or obscure tasks.
[Smart Unlock] Dovidhalevi:
Agreed!

Easy enough. Functionality was not clear, but I know how to do it now.

Creates issues with the voice control of Moto X

Hello!

I've been using the XDA version of the app with my Moto X 2014, it works fine, but it creates a few issues when I try to use the voice control of the phone.

When I say "Ok, Google" it is supposed to answer with a beep and lit the screen up so I can ask it to do things (Call someone, send a text, set the alarm, etc.).

Sometimes it works, the screen lits and I ask what I want, but sometimes it simply doesn't (I still can hear the beep though, but the voice actions won't work after that, since the screen is off).

Has anyone been through that? Is there a solution?

Thanks for everything! :)

Hi!

First of all congratulations on being able to make this work on Lollipop!!

Up until now I was using Skiplock and was very, very happy with it. I even held off upgrading to LP because SL doesn't work on LP anymore.

I'm using an LG G3 with a custom CM12 based ROM and just installed Smart Unlock.

I disabled Smart Lock from Google and I am also using Gravity Screen to automatically shut off and enable the screen when picking the phone up. After a few initial hiccups (rebooting did the trick) I believe it's working perfectly now! Although I have to test it tomorrow with my BT carkit and Wifi at work.

I think you'll have a hard time activating this with other methods as previous apps also had this specific limitation.

You might contact the developer of Skiplock to trade some patents :p

He might give you some tips on these matters in exchange for your method to bypass the LP security.

Apart from that, if you can offer the functionality to at least a part of the userbase they will always appreciate that.

Especially this feature that seems very high in demand.

Again, you wouldn't limit your app by providing this option to PIN-users. You are limiting your app by NOT providing it.

A lot of users find this feature very important (not me) and would probably take the compromise to use only PIN.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that SkipLock uses Googles 'Wifi poll' feature to quickly turn on Wifi when waking up the devive. This quick poll will check if the phone is still connected to a secure device and might lock the phone again immediately.

Delayed lock can be very handy, especially when Wifi connections are bad, you have multiple AP's or exit your house directly in your car and viceversa. It's nice if you can seamlessly go from one trusted connection to another.

Skiplock uses the notification to toggle the lock/unlock modes.

I assume this limitation for Samsung is only for Touchwizz Roms with the default lockscreen, did you also try a Touchwizz Rom with a replacement Lockscreen (disabling the Samsung Lockscreen)? This would also give interested users another option.

I'll end with one new request for myself: I would love the option to turn on/off BT whenever you connect to one of the trusted wifi connections. This way BT turns off automatically when you get home, and it turns on outside where you usually connect to a smartwatch or BT carkit. If the seamless unlock mode exists than you won't need to unlock again.

I know that TAsker can do this kind of things, but Tasker is very complicated and it kinda falls within the scope of your application.

Keep up the good work!
