This feature worked perfectly on my lg g5 but with my pixel it works once or twice and then it untoggles the option so I have to retoggle it. Any ideas?
same problem here
Sometimes a Device Administrator can disable trusted voice. For instance, my work email requires device admin, and one of the settings is to lock down the phone including disabling trusted voice.

Here I'll present you my first Android app that I wanna show the public
It's called WIFIunlocker and can disable your PIN/password lockscreen security for choosen Wi-Fi profiles. When Wi-Fi disconnects lockscreen security will be enabled again.
So for example you can add your home network and then you don't have to enter your PIN/password whenever you are connected to this network.
When Wi-Fi disconnects your PIN/password is enabled again.
But this app can do more, it can disable Bluetooth when your phone connects to one of your saved networks and it can enable Bluetooth and/or disable Wi-Fi when losing connectivity to a network.
You can also add a Wi-Fi profile that only disables Bluetooth, this is great if you have for example a Wi-Fi network at work.
I use it to automatically enable Bluetooth when I'm leaving home and disable it when I'm at work. I have one profile for my home place that disables BT and lockscreen security and a second profile for the coporate Wi-Fi that only disables BT while keeping the lockscreen security enabled.
This app works using the "Device administrator" mode, this means it works only on Android 2.2 and higher.
Also if you want to uninstall it you first have to disable the device admin mode, this can be done in the Android settings or in the app settings. If you don't disable device admin mode the uninstall will fail!
UPDATE 08-15-2011: I uploaded a fixed version that will disable the PIN/password if something went wrong while decrypting the PIN/password. So the worst thing that can happen is that it won't lock your phone at all. Before it was possible that the encrypted string was set as password. If you experience that your phone doesn't lock properly when disabling wifi or connectivity to a trusted network was lost send me a PM.
Since I don't like apps that use many permissions without telling me why, I'll explain you the permissions my app needs to work.
android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
These 2 are for the broadcast receiver so my app knows when you enabled or disabled Wi-Fi, connected to a network or disconnected from a network.
android.permission.BLUETOOTH
android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN
These 2 are used to turn BT on/off.
android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
This is to disable Wi-Fi if you enabled the option for it.
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
This one is to get the IMEI to secure the password.
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
Needed if you enable the "Use wake lock" option. Wi-Fi state changes are recognized alot faster with the option enabled but it will drain your battery a bit.
android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS
This one is used to set the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never sleep while connected to a trusted network.
Since XDA is a great community I'll post the full version for free here but I don't want anybody to make a mirror, add it to a ROM or anything else. This should be the only place to get it for free!
Please donate if you like the app
Thanks to Ben74 and his app Unlock With Wifi. He gave me the idea to make this app because he didn't want to add Bluetooth profile support
If you have downloaded the app before 08-15-2011: Update to the latest version! If you don't want to update but uninstall the app disable device admin in the Android settings (Settings -> Location & security -> Select device administrators) and NOT in the app settings!
Nice bro thanks

So what this application does is just unlocking your phone in save places so you do not have to and when you leave it goes to protected state?
Very good. Any known issues?
Like the guy who can not uninstall it?
As i understand it is so good protested that he slashed the phone and it still asks for the password. It should also give some contact info where to return the phone or who to call if your phone was found.

Exactly, it uses the android lock screen security feature for that. The app just sets the password to nothing while connected to a trusted Wi-Fi network. When the connection is lost it sets the password back to the one you have entered.
Known issue: It seems the first version had a problem sometimes to decrypt the saved password and has set the encrypted string as password. THIS CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE WITH THE UPDATED VERSION. If something goes wrong while decrypting it will set an empty password (the phone is not locked).

If you uninstall the app while not connected to a trusted network the app can't disable/change your password anymore. You can only disable/change the password in the Android Settings then(Settings-> Location & Security -> Change screen lock).

I don't think this is something this app should do, you won't have such information when using the normal screen lock security too. Since the app just disables the screen lock security in trusted profiles I don't think this feature is something that this app has to have.
OK i installed the app and now i am i my home secured network and when i am waking the phone it asks me about the password not the pattern i had but i suspest it shuld not ask me for it at all if i am in the trusted network?

This does not work for the unlock pattern only for PIN and password. You have to add your network to the trusted networks. Then you pick it from the list and choose what you want when the phone connects to this network.

You have to disable device admin mode to uninstall it. You can do this in the app settings or in the Android settings.

No its not exactly the same, with my app you can add wifi profiles that only disable bluetooth. Unlock with wifi just provides the option to disable bt when you lose any wifi connection. I asked Ben74 to add such a feature but he didn't want to. His app has other options like enable/disable gps that I don't need so I didn't add them.
But maybe you should read the whole first post, I have explained it and have thanked Ben74 for the idea.

Guess what
I attempted to uninstall the app
I switched off administrator mode
uninstalled the all successfully and when it went to lock screen it asks me now for the password?
I am trying to use password that i used during installation and what? Wrong Password
what can be done now?
I am dredding to attempt to uninstall it from my wifes phone.
Any help??
I have uploaded a new version which doesn't have the "unknown password" bug anymore for sure!
If you have downloaded the app before 08-15-2011: Update to the latest version! If you don't want to update but uninstall the app disable device admin in the Android settings (Settings -> Location & security -> Select device administrators) and NOT in the app settings!
I'm trying the app on my Tab right now, thanks for making it available.
If I disable the wifi on the Tab, should the lock/password screen appear the next time I take it out of standby? I just want to test that the app is working as it should.
i managed to switch off screen locking and properly unindtalled the wifilocker but now when i switch on screen lock with pin or password after it goes on it again does not recognise the password or PIN even the app is not installed
What have your app done to my phone??!!
I installed new version and it is the same problem sorry wrong password
i uninstalled it and before that i removed wifi unlocker from (Settings -> Location & security -> Select device administrators) and the same problem.
The question is WHAT this app done to our passwords? and why it can not be undone even by uninstalling the app and reflashing the phone?!!!
whenever you switch on any password or screen lock it does not recognise it when you trying to use it. It is something messed with password encryption algorithm.
I think that if we should to test the app for you and kill our devices there should be better support not once a day
the only difference between the old and new FIXED version that before once i managed to enter the phone i could change the screenlock and just switch it off. Now i can not as it asks about the password so it is even worst than it was.
Any update?
Any help
Any toughts?
Is that app just a prank to see how far will we go in bricking our handhealds?
Wow, I think this app needs to removed right away. It's in a state that it's able to brick devices. Flashing a different rom after wiping everything keeps the unknown password bug in there.
And **** **** piss, what a hassle to contact a mod. Did you notice my post by swearing? Devices became unusable because of this app. Nothing personal to the developer, but it needs more testing! And not to the public anymore.

When you have set up a password in the app it is applied immediately. You can add a WiFi network to the trusted profiles then. If you want to disable the password while connected to this WiFi network you have to pick it in the list and activate "Disable screen lock".
This problem seems to have been around for 2 years now, but I haven't found any resolution online.
Using the "email" app on my Motorola Photon (the one with a @ inside an envelope)...I constantly get a "connection error". This is configured for gmail.
Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. It seems to be a problem regardless of whether I'm on wifi or 3G. I have Sprint, if that matters.
I don't know what's going on. The email app is configured to use iMap push.
Should I set it for pop email server instead, and just tell it to poll the server every hour?
Thanks.

I''ve had a similar issue with my boyfriend's phone. All I did was uninstall all the updates for the app, reset the phone, and then redownload the updates for the app. Seems to keep it working at least for a while.

Is anybody else having issues getting the new "Trusted Places" Smartlock option to work?
I have 2 google accounts, root access and a custom kernel, and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Running Official Lollipop Factory Image and Franco Kernel.
I have location services turned on for both accounts, and I've also tried using Google Maps defined locations and Custom Locations to my exact position, still get a pin lock prompt every time.
Applied the xxx.438 file from APKMirror.
Cheers All.
I am running stock Lollipop on my N5. When I told trusted places to use my work address it didn't work. I modified the address a little (large campus) and it worked then. However as I walk around the campus the screen will lock again. When I used the map to mark my location, it worked as well. At home it works great. Only caveat is battery life seems to take a slight hit using Trusted Places. The GPS fires up when you wake the device up at the PIN screen.
I just wish Google would have allowed WiFi locations as well. I had a Tasker / Secure Settings profile setup that would unlock based on WiFi that worked great. Secure Settings isn't 100% Lollipop compatible yet. The developer is said to be working on it.

I'm guessing the OP has the latest version of Play Services since he is able to add a trusted place and he said he applied the xxx.438 apk.
thanks - didn't realize op meant .438 apk for the 6.5 play services.
Cheers all. A new revision of 438 was released today. Working properly now. Thread can be closed.

Still doesn't work for me...
Doesn't seem to work for me...
Using the Google Play Services 6.5.87 (1599771-438), I set my trusted location to a custom location that's the place where I am (at home) - not the google maps location as it is a bit off - but I always need to swipe the pattern. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else for whom it doesn't work?
It works just fine for the trusted devices and I can see the location icon in the status bar every time I unlock the phone.
Is anyone else using the Smart Lock feature and does it work for you?
If I enable On-body detection, that seems to work correctly. Trusted devices I haven't tried as I don't have any free BT devices to link to that aren't already paired with something else.
Trusted places however doesn't seem to work at all. It found my Home location that I have configured in Google Maps and I've enabled it, but no matter where I am around my home (inside or out), I'm still forced to unlock the device after swiping up. The radius is huge around the trusted location, so I can't imagine that it's an issue with GPS drift.
Op9 here and works perfectly on trusted devices . Quick as I hop in my car and it connects. I'll try trusted places and report back later tonight
Having the exact same issue, device and on body work. location does not.
Personally never thought location was a good idea. Other people you don't want in your phone can be in the same location. Just my 2 cents

This is true. However my phone receives incoming messages frequently throughout the day and the device is always on my desk in my home. It doesn't seem like much, but it's a bit of a pain to have to enter a code or even lean over for face detection to work.
Edit: Plus, face detection won't work if you're wearing a mask.
I was able to get it working.
Had to go into settings and give Google, Home and Maps apps Location access all the time.
Then clear storage on Google Play Services
And lastly if using a home saved location in google maps delete it and re add it.
This is probably a bit of a naive question for the advanced crowd here, but I could use some help in determining if I am just missing something obvious.
My company uses MobileIron MDM to manage work profiles on devices. On my S21 Ultra, there is a setting in work profile security called "Auto lock work profile" where you can choose a timeout before your work profile will lock and require a re-auth of some kind (fingerprint, password, whatever).
On my Pixel 7 Pro I noticed this setting is conspicuously missing. The effect is that every time my screen locks, and I then open a work app after unlocking my device, I also need to unlock the work profile again. This is pretty annoying and greatly impacts the usability of the work profile on the Pixel.
Both devices are running Android 13 (OneUI 5 on the S21), so my gut feeling is that this is one of those custom Samsung/Knox enterprise features that isn't part of Google's vanilla implementation of work profiles. I am hoping the community here can confirm my suspicion, in which case I'll probably have to return the Pixel and be bound to Samsung.
Also, yes I am aware that "One Lock" would probably solve this, but it's unfortunately disabled by my MDM, so not an option for me.
Appreciate any feedback.
I recently purchased Pixel 7 and observed the same thing. Your company server is probably is set to require re-entering Work profile passcode every few days but only Samsung devices recognizes that setting. Other device types will be forced to enter passcode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
