Is there an app to lock phone manually from my gear 2? Sometimes I don't want to wait until phone is out of range so the lock automatically function doesn't work for me. I just want an app for the gear 2 to lock phone so anyone trying to use phone has to enter pin. I use google unlock so when in range of gear 2 you do not have to enter pin to use phone.

Hello
I have a samsung s3 ( i9305) and i have bought a few nfc tags and what i want to write on most of them is the function to unlock/lock the screen that also has a security pattern.
I used nfc task launcher to write them and everything went ok but sometimes the phone won't unlock. For example, i have one next to my door at home that when i "scan" the nfc it will unlock the phone and remove that protection and also turn on wifi. The problem is that sometimes it will only turn on wifi and it doesn't unlock but other times it does unlock but after a while it just returns to the lock pattern.
Anyone know how to make the phone really unlock when i scan the nfc tag? Im using the right app(nfc task launcher) or should i use something else also?
Thanks!
is there a feature in the gear 2 that will notify / vibrate whenever you leave your phone?
I know it vibrates once when it disconnects with the phone but is there a way that it would notify more than once?

what i did with mine is if i left my phone behind and when the bluetooth disconnect, i set my gear 2 to ask for a pin code. and it will remain that way until i enter the pin to unlock the scree. and for the phone itself to lock and require an unlock pattern to use the phone. this is all available in settings of the gear manager

ah yeah I know about that
but my concern is not about security, its about losing your phone or misplacing it

perfectly this is mine concern also!! did u find a way out?
i found few apps that may help, it is paid apps tho and is available in the gear app store.
names are AlarmAprt
and Mobile Shield
cost 2$ each $AUD.
I have set up the auto unlock feature in GM to unlock my phone when the Gear 2 is within proximity but it's not working. It worked the first time I set it up but now my note 4 just stays locked with the lock pattern. Anyone else?
UPDATE: Uninstalling and reinstalling gear manager from Samsung app store did the trick. I did allow Gear Manager to reset the watch as well so I'm not sure if that made a difference also.
Hi guys. I don't see any Smart Lock options under settings and security. Is there any way to setup Smart Lock with this phone? I do see Smart Lock appear in the notifications when I add a Bluetooth device, but I see no way to go into the Smart Lock options after that. Has anyone been able to get it to work with this phone?
I have the same question. I cant find that setting either. I'll send Blu a tweet (@irishman2020)
They replied and said they don't support it on the PureXL
What the hell, NO Smart Lock on a phone with all these high end features and hardware? I guess Blu never expected anyone with a $349 phone would want to use it with Android Wear or any other Smart Lock feature! How STUPID!!! It must have been an ID10T error.

Have you gotten to the Trusted Devices screen when you tapped the notification? I was able to set my device up from there onwards after pairing (but right now it does nothing and is kind of useless).
I've managed to connect my Pure XL to my laptop with a Startech.com 50m Class 1 USB to BT4.0 adapter (USBBT1EDR4) and was able to setup Smart Lock to unlock my device. It did nothing, but probably because I didn't walk outside of its signal range. Meanwhile, I didn't get a notification to setup Smart Lock when I paired up with my desktop (I'm on a P8P67 PRO mobo with some sort of Atheros BT device built in).
Unfortunately, there's no other way, as far as I see it, to get to the Trusted Devices screen unless you pair with an appropriate BT device for the first time and you tap the notification to setup Smart Lock.
I have an Sprint s10e and smart lock doesn't seem to be working at all. I have it set to not lock when connected to certain devices and when home. When at home and trying to use google assistant, it always tells me that I need to unlock my phone when it is connected to my smart watch at home, both of which should prevent it from locking.
try clearing the system cache. The smart lock feature should be working well
