Before Lollipop, Sony had implemented a trusted feature with, say, a Pebble smartwatch or other trusted device - but now with 5.0.2 installed, I can't see how to set/change it.
What's more, my existing trusted device (watch) no longer unlocks the phone when in range.
I can see there's now a new setting (off by default) in Settings/Security/Trust agents/Smart Lock (Google) which could be it - as in the native Lollipop method, but even once I turn that on, there's no option that I can find unless I'm being really dumb?!
Think I've answered my own question. I rebooted and now in security there's a Smart Lock function menu that let's you unlock with Bluetooth, face etc.
That's exactly it, and it works better than what Sony had in 4.4.4 - it skips the lockscreen completely and without delay, unlike Sony's implementation...

How so? With my SmartBand, it just bypasses the pattern, but I still have to swipe to unlock it, unlike with 4.4.4 where it would unlock it completely.
I'm having trouble with this working with my SmartBand. On 4.4.4 my phone unlocked no problem 100% percent of the time. On 5.0.2 maybe 50% of the time. It's so frustrating!
It's working fine for everyone?

It's having compatibility issues with the SmartBand I guess. Same here, so back to using Tasker to achieve that.
I may have figured it out.
When I first set up smartly smartlock I did so using nfc when prompted to pair to the smartband.
What I did now was turn off the smartband and force stop or uninstall the smartband app (I uninstalled). To turn off the smartband you hold down the little button for a while (past the night mode toggle). Now go into the Bluetooth menu and turn on the smartband. Tap it when it shows up. Now that they're paired. Go back and setup smartlock again but this choose Bluetooth instead of nfc.
Using nfc it labeled the smartband as "smartband" while the Bluetooth method named it sw-10.
What I still liked about Sony's implementation was that you could set the proximity. I thought that was brilliant. I want the phone to unlock if it's in my hand and that's it.
What changes? Nothing, you still have to slide to unlock.

Yes, but we're talking specifically about the Sony Smartband in the last few posts. Apparently there is some issue with compatibility and I thought I had figured it out. I did, but as with others the problem now is that it won't hold through a power down cycle.
We understand the directions state you may have to reenter your passcode/pattern if the phone is left for a while or powered off but for me, and I believe some others, the only way to get it back is to erase the smartband app and start all over with pairing and smartlock setup. It's not like it starts working again after a single "verification"
As far as people's complaint about the smartlock not bypassing the swipe screen I believe that to simply be a lollipop change because of the new notification centric lockscreen. I actually like it. 75% of the time I want to check on a notification or mess with the music that's playing. Now it can bypass my security but still let me get to my notifications and music quickly. I actually much prefer it this way.
You are arguably just a minority judging by the topic full of hatred on AOSP forum. And I agree, why should I waste my time on a screen I don't want to have notifications at, especially as on KitKat, it worked basically the same, the device was unlocked by simple double click and next swipe could've been sliding notification bar. Don't see why I should have to swipe twice as much just to unlock the phone, it's the thing you do everytime you use your phone, for f***'s sake!
Sent from my Xperia Z2 via Tapatalk
We are all the minority. 9 out of 10 people could care less if they have to swipe, tap, or whatever. The people complaining in a thread on a forum certainly don't represent the larger audience. So yes, on these forums perhaps I am the minority, but I think with the z3 running lollipop there are quite afew improvements over KitKat. Some things I wish didn't change but Sony and Google didn't customize a Rom just for me. You always have the option of reverting to KitKaT.

Using Android Lollipop/Marshmallow's lock screen notifications?
Tired of having to press the power button to see them?
Want your phone to turn on new notifications, but only when you grab to look at it?
Want your phone to turn on right when you take it out of your pocket?

This all new app fills an annoying hole in Android Lollipop's lock screen notification system. It's nice, it's shiny, but you always need to push that damn power button. This app does it for you, and also respects quiet times and whether or not your device is in your pocket.
It also does this:
recurring notifications (screen on and/or sound)
emulate LED notifications that the system lockscreen no longer shows
Double-tap to lock function for lockscreen
custom lockscreen display time
lockscreen lock-on-cover function
At the same time the app is completely for free and without ads!

Strange. So, have you observed the screen turning on even if the proximity sensor is covered?
I plan on adding an extension to the pocket mode to cover the following use case: if the phone is pocketet or face down and you hear a notification, you typically take the phone and see what happened. Then I want it to turn on, but not necessarily everytime I take it out of my pocket. So something like "if coming out of pocket AND last notification less than N seconds ago -> turn on screen".
Perhaps we can sort your issues with the sensor out on the way.

Linked here from the OP's comment in the ACDisplay xda portal article. Looking very nice so far. Only feature I miss from ACDisplay is the active mode, i.e. screen on when removed from pocket, regardless of notification. This is a great way to keep power button use down, especially for devices like the N5 with known hardware button failures.

Yeah I already assumed people will want that and I'm planning to cover this use case as well. Personally, when I had apps working like that in the past I found it a bit annoying that everytime I took out the phone to put it like on the table it turned on (even if there were pending notifications). That's why I thought about how I could narrow down the logic to be more useful.

Thanks. Well, as a matter of fact I started out with having a black list and found that to be less useful than just marking the few notification sources I'm actually interested in (like Mail, SMS, WA). I'll think about throwing in a switch to configure black/white list behaviour, but it's not top of the list TBH.

Big oops here - I just realized that for the testing notification, I skip all the other checks because I figured it would confuse people if the other other filters prevented the test. Turns out the way I did it it confused us all. I'm going to change that in the next version (which is taking shape).

Yeah, I can understand your point, but a black list, in addition to allowing users to block apps whose notifications they don't consider important/desirable, would also allow users to block out any app/process/service that Glimpse may report about, such as 'wireless networks available', you know, things from Android system or System UI, whose notifications just drain the battery without any real purpose.
But hey, it's just a suggestion, it's totally up to you what gets implemented.
Great app nevertheless..

Installing Nine email for Exchange and removing the Exchange account from the phone makes Smart Lock start working again.
I do have exchange but do not have a pin lock requirement. When home, I often set lock screen to none, and use a pattern lock when I go out as a matter of habit. With pin lock requirement turned on, I would not be able to use pattern lock or set lock screen to none.

Yep. You're right. That wouldn't cause an issue.
I have also heard of folks who had to set 3 or 4 trusted places around their home for it to work. Say, your house, neighbor on the left, neighbor on the right...etc.
Hmmm... today at work, it actually worked. Once. it took me a while to figure out why and perhaps why it doesn't work most of the time.
If I let my phone time out, or use the power button to turn off the screen, it appears to work..
But if I use the button (app called screen off) that turns off the screen immediately and locks the phone it doesn't then work when I turn the phone back on.
I use the screen off button all the time as it is much easier than reaching around for the power button and I like to turn off the screen before I put it in my pocket or even put it down since it is less difficult to mess something or activate something when handling the device.
Now that I know what is going on... I can possibly talk to the developer about it to see if there is a "fix". Or just hitting the power button instead.
Note I typically hold the phone in my left hand and my fingers are lower on the device to balance it better.
Damn. I forgot Greenify does the same thing. Glad you finally figured it out.
When it worked the first time I wasn't sure what was happening as I had never seen it work before. It wasn't until I got a desk phone call and it timed out on it own and did it again, that I made the connection. I actually forgot it was still setup.

Ah! So that's why it's not working most of the time! Did you ever get a fix or workaround for the screen off app? I have the screen off button on the bottom left of all my home screens because it's so much more convenient than the power button, but I'm tired of doing the damn fingerprint all the time at trusted locations.
Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

I noticed small cosmetic changes inside the S-health app, but nothing else beyond that. I've found nothing related to sleep monitoring.
Also checked yesterday to see if a reminder can be set using S-Voice, and that is also still broken.
I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.
Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.
My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version. I rebooted the watch and nothing. Do I have to reboot my phone? I hate to try this as it always breaks my weather app and I have to totally uninstall all gear apps on the phone and factory reset the watch to get it working again.

If it's not a Korean Watch, just be patient. The app was updated, but they have not pushed the new firmware out to the rest of the world. To confirm this, go to Settings->About Gear->Update Gear Software->Update now.

Ah, I understand now. Thanks, got to excited to soon.
display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?
Regards
Elvis
You guys are lucky.
In korea some devices that are updated got stuck at booting logo.
I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.
Encrypted Phone
So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?
My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

I really want that option.
Some decent additions there, but I was really hoping Sleep Tracking would be included.

Not sure if anybody else has experienced this, but the phone seems to answer calls automatically when the screen is facing down or in a pocket. This issue persists even with all the motion control settings off. I have also activated different combinations of them to no avail. As an experiment, I had a friend call with the screen facing up. The phone rang, but as soon as I flipped it over, the call was answered. Software glitch?

I have done this. No impact whatsoever. The screen doesn't even have to be touched while facing down to auto-answer.

Check whether your ambient light sensor is working or not.
Have you tried factory reset? Did u update your phone recently?
If you need to lock your device to avoid accidental pick ups, follow these steps:
- Press the power button to manually lock the screen.
- The screen will lock automatically and enter sleep mode after it has been idle for a certain period to reduce power consumption and prevent unintended operations.
NOTE: To change the screen sleep time, open [click to enlarge] Settings, touch Display > Sleep, and then select a time.
Your phone will continue to receive messages, notifications, and incoming calls when the screen is locked. The status indicator will flash when you receive new notifications. When you receive an incoming call, the screen will turn on and display the caller information. (NS)
I have the same issue and it is really disturbing. Even if it is locked, if the proximity sensor is covered the phone automatically answers the call. I have all of the smart motion features turned off.
This means if someone calls me and my phone is face down or in my pocket, they can listen in on whatever I'm doing. I didn't notice it immediately because I don't receive many calls. I'm running the latest Honor firmware, but I would rather not have to factory reset (a huge hassle) just to test if anyone else has any information.
Phew, crisis averted. After half an hour or so of scrambling around my phone settings (I've been using android for a long time, I know my way around the settings VERY well), I found the culprit wasn't even an Honor smart feature. In the android accessibility menu, I somehow had "Raise to ear to answer" turned on. Apparently on the Honor 8 (and maybe more android phones? I'll have to do some testing), this setting only watches the proximity sensor and not the proximitey sensor AND the accelerometer. The Honor's smart motion feature "Raise to ear to answer calls" watches both sensors and works properly. OP, go to Settings->Advanced Settings->Accessibility and make sure the "Raise to ear to answer" settings is switched off!

The answer in post 6 is correct works on the H5x also
As someone who had this issue, I will point out that there were two distinct ways of getting to the "raise to ear to answer" setting on my Honor 8 and I had to turn BOTH off before it stopped answering calls in my pocket. So if anyone is having this issue, it might be worth checking out if your phone has multiple paths to the setting.

Simply go to settings and type the word Raise in the search box and both settings are right their.
The big thing on the H5x was the setting was on by default I think their both off on the H8 unless you change it

Thanks. This was driving me crazy with the Honor 7x. I turned this feature on but couldn't remember how i did it and couldn't find the setting. I have a flip case on the phone so it would ALWAYS auto answer because it thought it was at my ear.
Can someone with MIUI 12 check something for me? Is it possible to create exclusions while in the do not disturb mode? So in settings -> apps, select a random app, click notifications. There should be some sort of ignore DND option, hopefully...
I am still on 11 and want to go to 12 but I'm waiting for the 168 hours.

Well... Does do not disturb mode works for you? On mi 10 pro if you set to receive calls from anyone, app notifications and sounds won't be muted at all.....

Sorry for the late response, did not see this quote yet.
By using tasker and autonotification plugin, you can let tasker play a sound over the alarm channel whenever Facebook messenger sends you a message. Also when in DND mode.
I'm now using the Pixel 5 and returned my Xiaomi. Now it works natively again
Just posting here in case others will miss this function.
So Xiaomi decided to leave out a core Android feature that was introduced back in Android 5 Lollipop.
The Ignore DND function.
Back even in the L days, you could use DND. And if you went into an app's notification settings, you could tick a box saying "Ignore DND". This gave Android an ultimate edge over iOS.
This option and function is present in Google, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony devices and many others. Even Huawei has it.
But Xiaomi's MIUI.
Why did they remove it? No one has a clue.
Will they add it back? Doubtful. It was missing in MIUI 11 already. MIUI 12 does not have it either.
I asked Xiaomi.EU but they have not replied. I don't think they can hack it back either - which is super sad.
Workarounds?
See just above, Mr. thecompany has posted a workaround.
I used this app myself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nebz.alertify
Basically, it can be heavily customized what to watch out for (what notification) and it can create an alarm. The alarm DOES override DND and boom, you have DND override.
It worked reliably on MIUI 11 (Xiaomi.EU and normal) on my Mi Note 10 Pro.
Ps.: Now I am returning to Xiaomi with the Mi 10T Pro, so I'll keep looking at workarounds, magisk modules and other tricks.
I was waiting to get the OnePlus 8T, but the price, the warranty of Xiaomi has won me over.
Since my post is still relevant, here is an update: https://blog.agx.co/index.php/2020/...12-how-to-override-ignore-dnd-do-not-disturb/
Hello, can someone confirm please ? There is no way to hear any notification in DND mode ? On redmi note 10. thank you.

HI h8Aramex, the link to your update does not work for me. I am looking for an workaround to get my notifications working in DND as it would be great to have my security cameras working. TIA. I tried the Alertify and it does not support xIaomi.

Alertify works fine, but you must set it to Alarm, instead of Media in Settings.
Also make sure you disable all battery savings for the app.

Thanks for the quick answer. I tried it again and it worked!!! I tried for 3 hours last night and could not get it to work. then I found out on there site " does not work with Xiaomi phones" It turns out it does. Thats brilliant i do not have to redo my whole phone Thanks.
Alertify works fine for me for all apps but normal calls. For normal calls on the GSM network, it doesnt alert. My phone is on Miui 12.5. Has anyone else had this problem?

You mean DND? It is already like that. On Xiaomi, DND does not disable Media, and I can't find a setting to change that. I think Huawei had this toggle, which would disable media as well. But on Xiaomi, on my Mi 11 Ultra, I can't find it.

For normal calls, you can actually just open the Dialer settings. Go into the dialer, open settings (bottom left, tap hamburger button, settings), then Advanced Settings, then in middle Missed Called Reminders. You can set it to 10 times even.

Try "Sound Profile (Volume Control)" in Google Play. It allows you to add apps to the Notification Exceptions for each volume profile. It even allows parameters, For example only let sound emails form my boss and my coworker. Ignore the rest. Or only Whatsappa from my wife while at work.
