OK Google. does it work for you? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Does it work when the screen is off? I can't find a setting for trusted voice. Maybe im missing something.

To enable trusted voice you need to go to Settings > Advance Settings > Security > Trusted agents, there enable Smart Lock (Google) and disable Huawei Smart unlock. Now trusted voice will be available in the Google app settings. What I can't get to work is Ok Google to wake the phone when the display is off. My voice can unlock the phone when the display is on and at the lock screen. The only time that my voice can wake the phone is when it is charging.

[Q] Need input from Llama users about pattern lock.

Can any Llama users advise on how to use Llama to disable pattern lock when I am in "home" area ?
does this require root ?
I added the action "disable screen lock after unlock" when entering "home" area, but the pattern lock is still there.
any other way to achieve this, i just want to keep the pattern lock when outside my safe areas.
thanks
any info from Llama users plz !
seems that using "unlock immediately" option in Llama is working.
the Keyguard unlock option (without notification) through Secure settings also is working.
if notification is on then - when i touch the volume controls while screen is off, then it lights up - which is unnecessary.

i tried and does not work with pattern i think. im N7105 with 4.1.2
i think this is something to do with android o/s.
see this from "unlock with wifi" creator:

Why doesn’t UWW support face unlock, or lock patterns?
A: Because there is no official way to turn off face unlock and lock patterns in Android. It can be done for root users, but UWW does not support root operations at this time.
maybe this will works:

thanks for the info.
if not using the password lock, then the keyguard lock can be disabled by Llama at times.
but with password, it only works rarely.
maybe when i get rooted, then i will try this again.
using llama and Secure Settings, confirmed, the pattern lock will gone when im at home (previously just with llama action, doesnt work). but the no pattern lock stays when im in the office, so maybe need to modify others to use secure settings and enabling pattern lock.
now i want to disable the lockscreen completely, so when i press power mine will go straight to main desktop. i think this is possible too.
I use a numerical pin. To disable it, I use the Llama action "Screen Lock Password" and leave it blank for when I connect to my wifi. I have another event so Llama resets the pin to my desired code when I disconnect from my wifi.

I've had this set up on my phone using Llama for well over a year. It's as simple as installing the Secure Settings plugin and using its "Pattern Lock" action within a Llama event. Mine turns on the pattern lock when I get disconnected from my home Wi-Fi network and turns it back off whenever I am in my "Home" area and am connected to my home Wi-Fi network. (I added the area check just to be sure that someone couldn't easily trick Llama into turning off the pattern lock by setting up a Wi-Fi access point with my home network's SSID.)
I am pretty sure that you need to be rooted, though, because toggling the pattern lock is a privileged action. Whenever Secure Settings toggles my pattern lock, I get a "toast" notification saying root privileges were granted to Secure Settings.

using N9005 with Phonesis rom, rooted, at 5.1.1

note 5 finger scanner lock overwritten with swipe lock when paired with s2

So i'm using a note 5 with the finger print scanner as my main lock. When i have the gear s2 paired to my phone it does something (that i think is abnormal). It adds without me asking the swipe to unlock on the lock screen on top of the finger print screen. What's really annoying is sometimes it doesn't even go to the finger scan screen and unlocks while sometimes it does.
Does anyone else have this or is there a way to get rid of this? I just want a secure lock
You may have activated "Googles smart lock" which does that when your connected to a trusted device... Like a Bluetooth, or when the phone is on your person, or certain locations like home.... Settings>lock screen & security> secure lock settings> smart lock.... Plus's Google "Google smart lock" should help a little.

Seccurity setting automatically lock -> cant disable immediately

For greenify it is required that I disable the setting of the immediately lock the screen after automatically lock. To be find in "settings" - security - automatically lock. I cannot disable the only option there: "immediately". Can someone help me please.

Where is the setting to turn on Ambient Display?

I really only want it to emulate an LED notification light while the screen is off. I've tried multiple 3rd party apps from the play store, but none of them work correctly, and when I looked for the Always-On-Display manually in System Settings, its not under Display or Lock Screen. Searching also comes up with nothing. Am I crazy? One of the selling points of this phone was AoD (like Pixel 4, and 3a before it) but I'm not finding it.
It took me a bit to find it on my wife's new 4a, but it's Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen display/Always on.
ETA...Ha! I never remember there's a search box at the top of Settings. I typed "always" into it and it immediately shows the "Always on" setting.
Thank you! This helped me track it down. Apparently the setting is hidden unless you have a lock screen set up, despite the fact that it works without a lock screen. That's also why it didn't appear in my search results. If you want an Always On Display but no lock, you have to enable Swipe to Unlock, enable the "always on" setting following your menu path, and then turn off Swipe to Unlock. Thanks Google ?

Question Quick Settings Lock Screen

I've only recently come across from Samsung so I don't know if this is normal or not.
On my Pixel 7 Pro, when the phone is locked, I can still swipe down the quick settings tiles and use them without unlocking.
I can switch off Bluetooth, wifi, auto rotate, I can even open Google Wallet but that obviously needs a password to pay.
Is there a simple way to disable quick settings from lock screen?
