Hell, i've got a problem with my Gear S2.
I had a Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.4.1) with the option to automatically lock the smartphone when the gear is too far and it was right.
Il bought a Galaxy Note 4 (Android 5.1) and set the watch on it, but on the Note 4 I can't find the parameter to lock the smartphone. I tried to uninstall / reinstall Gear Manager but I still cant' find it.
Does anyone can help me ?
Thanks
(Sorry for my english ;-] )
I think in the newer versions of Android the autolock feature has been replaced with SmartLock which will automatically unlock the phone when the device of interest (in this case the S2) is in range. However, it will not automatically lock the watch when the device is out of range. The phone will lock with whatever settings you have in your Security.

Thanks a lot Fred, I think you're right !!
It's the difference between Android 4.4 and Android 5.1.
I've just activate the function and i will test it now but it seems to be what i need.
Thanks again
So is there any way to enable a Trusted Location? Like for example, tell your cell phone not to lock when you are at home? I have added a Trusted device (huawei watch) but I don't always have the watch on and charged. I had Trusted Location enabled on my Nexus 6 but just can't find it anywhere on the Mate 9. Thanks in advance for any help.

did you try (my phone is not in English):
Settings
Advanced Settings
Security (or similar)
Advanced -> Trusted agents (or similar) -> enable Google smart lock?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I Sure did. I've got Google Smart Lock enabled. It's working with my Huawei smart watch but I don't see Trusted Locations and I don't see anything about "on body" unlock - stuff I'm used to seeing with my Nexus 6.
To my knowledge it was possible on the mate 8 but it's not on the mate 9.

sorry, i don't know that as I am not using that feature.. and I am really trying to like huawei mate 9, but it stays more and more at home, prefer OP3T and even HTC 10 more.. and i REALLY REALLY will try to give it another chance..
I still have the Mate 8 and it wasn't poosible on that device either - only bluetooth. Bit of a bummer really.
Anybody has chinese model AL00 in this topic?
I extracted system apps from rom al00c00b156 and found HwTrustPlace and HwTrustAgent
Think, this model has that function...
On my MHA-L29C432 is HwTrustAgent only
P.s. At this time is no way to install system apps from one model to other
It indeed was the Chinese mate 8 with that option.

This is the only feature I miss from my Nexus 6p.
Huawei and there over exaggerated security.
I miss Trusted Face... but yeah, seems like none of that stuff is available...
So funny thing happened to me today. I was missing the trusted places feature as well, since I got my Mate 9 4 days ago. Well today, similar to what my Pixel Xl did, my mate 9 asked me if I wanted to add my current location (Home) to the trusted places. I said hell yeah, and now my phone no longer requires fingerprint or pin unlock while at home.
I can also confirm that trusted face is also available in the same menu that had the trusted places.
The only issue is that I haven't found a way to get back to that menu. It seems since it is a native Android function that it is there, but EMUI has it masked with no menu item to access it.

This is happening to me - got a Mate 9 (US) a week ago, couldn't find trusted places anywhere, today got prompted to add my home address as a trusted place which worked, but I can't find trusted place settings anywhere to add additional addresses or make changes! Bizarre
The Mate 9 does have the feature. It's called Smart Unlock settings. The best way to get to it is going to Security & Privacy, and type Smart Unlock in the search bar.
UPDATE: I found the exact location. Settings>Security & privacy>Screen lock & passwords>Smart unlock. Be sure to reboot for the changes to take effect. I had to do this after pairing it with my car.
In Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ..... there is no option for NFC tag. Why is that? It only lets me add bluetooth device. I have NFC tag that I want to use to unlock, but I can't find that in Trusted devices.
Any hints?
Thanks
Still looking for a way to add NFC tag under SmartLock. It worked when I had Nexus 6P. What am doing differently with S8?
tasker + secure settings will do what you want.
Why can't I do it using SmartLock? This was available on Nexus 6P, and it is a standard Android feature. Is it a bug in Samsung S8 software?
Does everyone with stock S8+ have the same issue? Is there really no NFC tag option in Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ?
Before firmware update I can used this without problem but now I can't found this settings.
Well then this is a bug. How do we report it to Samsung? I need to unlock my phone when it's on NFC tag, without rooting my phone.
Got an update from Samsung last night, but this bug is still not fixed. No NFC option under SmartLock
It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.
I need the solution right now. It's very annoying[emoji58]

NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

Recently, I flashed lineage OS on my Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A, there is no NFC option in Smart lock settings.
Please comment on this why it is not there?

Did you read the post above yours? It explains why. And this is S8+ forum, not Zenfone forum....
Googled removed it due to lack of use. If you have an old NFC tag paired, it'll still work, but no way to add new ones
This is pretty disappointing... I had looked into getting an NTAG216 chip encapsulated in glass implanted, with unlocking my phone as one of the possible novel uses of it, but I guess I can forget that!
I guess we need some tweaks to get back NFC Smart Lock feature, like Magisk, scripts type of method and all that by all means.
Is there somebody who knows how Google blocked it technically?Assuming the culprit must be Google Play Services, though, if so, we done...?

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.
Best regards
I have found a workaround, though it requires root and manually editing a preferences file.

For some time now I own a Honor View 10. Back when I got it I paired my Sony Smartwatch 3 with the phone. I experienced that the watch sometimes loses connection to the phone and I had to restart the watch. That was not necessary with my old OnePlus 3. I thought it was the watch going bad because it had some other problems, too.
However, I recently got a Huawei Watch 2 and paired it to my Honor View 10. With the new watch, the problem still exists. Sometimes it loses connection to the phone without showing it. Sleep tracking with Sleep as Android does not get recorded or the watch app does not get the information my alarm is dismissed, notifications are still shown on the watch despite being already swiped away on the phone, new notifications do not get shown on the watch. It can only be resolved by turning off bluetooth on my Honor View 10 and turning it back on then. Sometimes I even need to reboot my watch.
Has anyone else experienced same problems on his or her Honor View 10 or has a smartwatch paired without any problems? For me it seems like the Bluetooth stack went bad on my Honor View 10.
I have exactly the same issue. My phone was fine on stock b130 but went wrong on subsequent updates. I believe the issue is a shared WiFi and Bluetooth stack. I installed Carbon ROM which works and doesn't suffer from this issue - the only problem i have is that I can't play my music collection from the external SD card with the stock music player or my normal one - have to use Poweramp or Rocket etc or copy files to the internal for system.

I have similar issue.
My main concern is that my sleep tracker on the Smartwatch doesn't work when the phone goes to sleep.
So the sleep tracking is useless.
Did anyone else have this problem and now importantly a solution?

I have a FitBit... before i git used to doing it, I had the same issues with it.
wjhat i found was the battery manager was killing off the connection, set it to manual management and no issues since
I got problems pairing my Honor Band3 with my Honor V10 (AICP13.1) After 2 hours of trying i could suddenly pair my device with the tracker. For me i didnt succed to pair this device also with a Huawei AH100 (body fat scale)... Anybody an idea? I have de(installed) the Huawei Health app, deleted Bluetooth cache and data, no success. With an Axon 7 (also running AICP13.1) and a Huawei P10 (AICP13.1 also) i got connection within seconds... No problems to connect the View 10 to an Anker soundbox or an Samsung bluetooth keyboard....

I think it's issue with custom ROM rather than the watch.
May be you can capture logs and send it to the developer.
I would think that, too, but the joke is, that its exactly the same Rom on the Huawei P10 as on the Honor v10: I flashed the same romfile (for the beverley aka V10) onto the Huawei p10 (where the Huawei Body AH100 is definetly recognized by the health-app and runnig correctly) without any error (exept the ota app that leads to an error like this: "the ota app has stopped running") so i tried in the developer options ("networking") with setting different bluetooth AVRCP- Versions (1.3 -1.6) ...

ROM is same but hardware is different hence there is a possibility of software compatibility issues.
But it would be very strange, that the hardware for that the ROM ist made (HonorV10) does not work, while the not really fitting hardware (Huawei p10) will work. Dont you agree?

P10 is Kirin 960 where as hv10 is Kirin 970 and Bluetooth versions are different hv10 has different and updated Bluetooth version than p10 hence it doesn't look strange to me.
Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to add / enable the smart lock functionality to the MIUI ROM (i use the weekly xiaomi.eu).
That functionality is there (i get the notification to enable smart unlock when pairing a new BT device), but it doesn't work.
Is there any way to do this with root? Perhaps a magisk module or a standalone app?
I spent a lot of time searching for it, without any luck.
Thank you!

do you have twrp?
i think this feature come with Gapps... since we have a fork of the current Gapps it will not be availible...
just to be shure.. youre talking about "Smart Unlock" that consists on body detection, bluetooth unlock wen connected to trusted devices, face unlock and voice unlock.
if you're interested on face unlock just change your region to India or Hong Kong.. on the security tab neard the finger print option will apper something like "add face data"
Note if your region is set to India you'll receive news about criket, your music app home screen will be set to some indian music service (it requires 2 clicks to go to the normal music library), your Mi video app will have the same behaviour and in the home screen there will be more Xiaomi related apps.
Hi, this is a standard in Android, but somehow, Xiaomi blocked it in MIUI.
I am using xiaomi.eu weekly rom, i already have face unlock without switching to India.
What i really care about is the ability to keep my phone unlocked while it is connected to my smartwatch and my car.
When i pair a new BT device i get the option to add is as a trusted device, but it doesn't work.
I really love the hardware, but i hate MIUI. Why do they want to re-invent the wheel? Anyway, this is the last time i buy a device with MIUI.
I tried Pixel Experience and Lineage OS, but they have some other problems. For example, if i use Android Auto, once i disconnect the phone, the screen starts to flicker really bad - i cannot use the phone until i reboot it.
So, i have to stick with MIUI......
Cheers!
My understanding, as things stand now (I'm a new guy to MiUi) is the following:
Aside from face unlock, smart unlock functions are essentially broken. Trusted Bluetooth devices only works with other MiUi devices. Current workaround for having your device unlock always in your car, for example, is to buy a mi band and leave it in the car.
As far as trusted voice unlock, I believe xiaomi.eu is waiting on a weekly global beta for mix 3 which they expect to have the required material included that they can poach to get this working on other sd845 devices like mix 2s.
Not sure I have all this right, so someone correct me if I don't....

Even with Mi Band as unlocking device, the function is not really reliable (at least not in my experience).
As often as not, it happens that the phone does not unlock, even with the band on the arm holding the phone.
Buying a band explicitly for that purpose will not satisfy you.
