Hi, I would like to have lock screen disabled when I'm connected to my Smartwatch 2, and as soon as the connection is broken - I want the lock screen back on. I guess it's possible to do it with Tasker, but I have no idea how. Any help?
I do this with my work Wi-Fi network... So I assume the same rule applies, instead of connected to X WiFi network, you set it up as connected to X Bluetooth.
I use Tasker and Secure Settings to get this to work.

Attached my tasker implementation.
As I have both Samsung Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2, my profiles check for both connections.
Under the
Bluetooth Connected profile *, B4:52:7D:F3:A6:A6Not Bluetooth Connected profile *, B4:52:7D:F3:A6:A6
you will need to change to make it work with your smart watch as that is my Sony Smartwatch 2 bluetooth address.
The lockscreen password is cfchong. To modify it to your own, you have to go through all the tasks and change them at the Set Password to your preferred password.
You will also need to set the lockscreen security to none in the Phone Settings (not tasker). I set my lockscreen security to swipe as without the lockscreen, the phone may be woken accidentally in the pocket and the homescreen widgets been activated.
I have also included some profiles to set the phone silent mode to on/off when connected/disconnected except when a call is in progress.
[Edit]
Oh...what I would die for now...is to get a WeChat smart extension. I have 10 times more WeChat messages than WhatsApp :waiting...waiting:
thanks, but it seems i can't import it to tasker. it says failed to move to SD. any ideas?
second, how do i find out the smartwatch BT address? it's not in smartconnect and not in bluetooth settings.

unzip the file and move the SmartWatch.prj.xml file to the projects subfolder of tasker.
select the bluetooth address using the search button in tasker as showed in attached screenshot. it should show all your bluetooth paired devices.
as i am still in the process of enhancing my profiles, attached is my latest "enhanced" profiles.
feel free to modify at your heart's content.

Hi cfchong
Thank very much your project template. I imported it to tasker, and it reports right state of SW connection. But my phone isn't locked with PIN/Password when SW disconnected. Could you instruct me more.
thanks
Awesome!

Hi, I've made my own and its simplified so its only for the Smartwatch without all the variables and complicated stuffs... I have attached it to this post.
Firstly set the password on your phone to none... then...
Make sure you have disabled beginners mode in tasker and you have installed secure settings from the play store...
Then tap the home icon and tap import and then navigate to the file you extracted from the zip...
Then edit the states under profiles to use your smartwatches bluetooth address by removing mine and clicking the search icon...
go to the tasks tab and open the SW2NotConnected task and set pin and then click the pencil
enable device admin and change the pin code...
click save and navigate back using the onscreen controls...
Try it and see if it works I hope it works

Have you tried just creating a new task and using secure settings to set a pin without any profiles, try and mess around with that.

^ This
1. You have to be rooted
2. You have to grant Secure Settings admin access in your device settings.
3. Make sure to enable System+ module in Secure Settings Plugin.
4. Run 2 simple actions that require root privileges (1 for Tasker and 1 for Secure Settings), while the screen is on and make sure you grant the 2 apps Superuser permissions.
Sorry to bump a 2 week old thread, but it appears as though some are still having problems. I don't use a pin lock, but I routinely disable the keyguard while connected to my Motorola Roadster 2 in the car. For those who are experimenting with Tasker for the first time, keep it simple for now. Too many task / profile collisions can really mess with what you're trying to achieve. Hope this helps.

I've been using Screen Off and Lock forever to lock my phone using the swipe-up-from-home-nav-button (instead of the default Google Now).
After updating to Lolipop, I started using my Moto 360 as a trusted device and enabled a PIN lock on my phone. When I lock the phone with the power button and my Moto 360 connected, no PIN screen appears when I turn the screen back on.
However, if I lock the phone using the app Screen Off and Lock, the PIN screen always comes on when I go to turn the screen back on. This defeats the whole purpose/convenience of the trusted device bypassing the PIN. Anyone know how to fix this? Or know of an app that will work better?
It hasn't been updated since January so I imagine its just an incompatibility

I'm on stock rooted Lollipop and I'm running into a similar issue, but with face unlock instead of trusted device.
I have double-tap on Nova Launcher set to system lock using Tasker, and when I lock my phone using that, face unlock doesn't activate, and won't until I put in my PIN password and then re-lock using the power button.

I also tried locking my phone using Greenify instead of Screen Off & Lock, sam result. Perhaps there is a way to implement locking the phone that won't trigger the PIN to unlock? Or - and I hope this isn't the case - maybe there is no way to do this in 5.0?

I tried messing around with screen timeout in Tasker, but it doesn't let me set it to 0 seconds (for obvious reasons, I guess haha), since I noticed that letting my screen time out seems to work just fine for triggering face unlock. The lowest I can set it to is 7 seconds though, if I remember right, which is a bit too high for a screen off function.

Have the same issue, wait for developer to fix it.

Not sure this will be "fixed". All apps that are stating to lock the phone will actually do so, whether trusted devices are enabled or not. They act the same way as if you are on the lockscreen with the lock disabled by a trusted device and then press the lock symbol at the bottom, this also locks the device. This has been a problem forever, apps just work differently than the hardware power button.
As a fix you can try the following: Use another app to completely disable the lockscreen or keyguard (whatever your prefer) when a trusted device is connected instead of using the android built in feature.
If you are like me and want to use the new trusted devices feature of lollipop you can use Tasker as a workaround. Create a tasker task with the command "run shell --> input keyevent 26". This also requires root. Then you can use the app Home Button Launcher to set a shortcut to run the new task when swiping up. This is what I'm using and it works without any problem! I hope I could help.

Have you installed the latest superSU beta? The previous versions had problems with the new security features introduced by lollipop. If you're not using this latest version my solution won't work.

It worked! SuperSU beta did the trick.
Also, I didn't need a separate app to make a Home key shortcut, I just made a profile: Event -> UI -> Assistance Request -> add the Task with input keyevent 26.

Nothing against Screen Off and Lock as it's just doing what it's designed to do (and Lock after all) but this is a useful work around, thanks.

There probably won't be. The app is called "... And Lock". Technically, it's doing what its supposed to.

Was searching for a solution and i found this thread! Thanks a lot!
So no hope for people like me who don't use trusted devices/places but use trusted face? Because I think even tasker can't do that with trusted face unlock.
Also looking for a solution to this with trusted faces on lollipop.
Edit: If you're interested, you can follow the defect here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79735
With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.

Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.

This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.

Question.
Is it possible to flash the phone back to previous ROM version via Odin… and you won’t get Knox void .. or something else??
I'm thinking to go back to previous ROM when lock and fingerprint worked OK.

This is a duplicate of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff

Yes but the problem still remains so it was a good initiative. I've got a brand new S7 and I find this very annoying. If I switch off my screen with Nova, I have to use fingerprint+PIN Code to unlock. If I switch it with physical buttons, I only have to use fingerprints..

Hi guys.
I'm one of those who do not have lockscreens in my phones.
Also, I love the double tap to unlock feature. Been using it on my G2, G3, OnePlus3T.
This feature on the Pixel only works if you have a lockscreen. This is more like a "double tap to lockscreen" rather than "double tap to wake".
Is there a way around this?
Now I know there are apps that do this, but they are not managed by the kernel, are unstable and drain more batt than they should. I'm hoping a dev can look into this
Cheers!

I agree with every single thing you wrote. I don't like to lock my phones either, but like to have the raise-to-wake feature. I happen to like Gravity Screen, but as you found, it does eat battery to set it up the exact way I want (use motion instead of proximity). So this is what I do. Establish a lock method so tap-to-wake or raise-to-wake works. Then turn around and create smart lock situations to bypass that lock. For example, I establish smart lock by locations, and by Bluetooth connections. Since I always wear a smart watch of some kind, it leaves my phones unlocked, but tap-to-wake still works.
I tried to get the double tap only to work as well but I failed. I don’t need to lock my phone either. Coming from BB10 where all I had to do was swipe up to unlock my phone man that was great. A slight swipe would show the lock screen a full swipe gesture would unlock the phone. None of this involves touching the power button I am simply talking about picking the phone up and swiping without hitting the power. BB10 was awesome it really was great but I think the lack of apps didn’t allow it to shine.
The finger print to unlock is pretty quick and easy but if your phone is position in a way that your not going to unlock it with your finger you have to use a pin or pattern to unlock.

Thanks for you replies, guys.
I didn't find the trusted devices method that reliable for some reason. I do have a smartwatch I use for work, but not for leisure, so I will not have a consistent experience unlocking the device. Also, this only work if it's secure (other than swipe).
So in order to use the T2W feature, you might as well have at least a simple swipe lockscreen.
Also, I tried something else last night. Elemental X kernel. It has T2W built in and works pretty alright. It is more sensitive (original implementations require you to tap with a little force) and 2 gentle touches is all that's required to unlock. Does not consume a lot of battery.
I may check out Gravity screen as well, to prevent accidental unlocks when it is upside-down (in my pocket) and that should do it.
And yea, I was also trying out Tasker, automating "swipe up" when I wake up the device. Didn't go too well. In case you guys wanna tinker with it, lemme know if you get it to work

The really nice thing about Gravity Screen is that it puts you back where you left it, not the lock screen.

I would be interested in implementing a Tasker profile to do this. I'll let you know if I get anything good.
I finally turned it off. Fingerprint scanner doesn't work even though the scroll up and down still does so I'll live.
Not sure if it would work, but what if you disabled double tap in the rom, disable lock screen in the rom and flash Elemental kernel and enable double tap with it?

Instead of flashing that kernel, flar2 also created a stand-alone app called Wake Gestures to accomplish just that. The app can be downloaded from his signature line.

I'm not familiar with the app. Does it drain battery like some of the others that people have mentioned in this thread. I really like Elemental in that I can also enable sweep2sleep. I've actually been using the stock DT2W and Elemental just for the sleep function.
I keep my phone propped on my desk at work and can quickly lock and unlock it as needed.

The app is created by flar2, the creator of ElementalX, so I don't believe it would be any different than his kernel. I use it and I do not experience drain. One additional feature the app has is the extra protection of accidental pocket turn-ons.
Before I go to sleep I put my phone on wireless charger. I wake up in the morning and it show unlock using passcode. No fingerprint or face unlock. On top of that the phone does not look like it rebooted.
That's a new security feature implemented with one UI... Basically after 4-5 hours without signing in... It will default to pin... Not sure if this can be turned off
I think it can be turned off by using smart lock, it could be connected to a certain device or location so then you can use fingerprint or face unlock.

I have the same issue glad you made the post
doesn't seem to work with smart lock either for me
Smart lock auto locks phone after 4 hours of inactivity...
You could use Samsung Routines to keep your phone unlocked.

if you use face unlock this is what happens, there is a warning about it on the bio metrics screen when you enable it.
turn it off and this goes away.
its a stupid feature for sure and just annoying AF

only if you stop using face unlock
I use smart lock with me frontier, and I don't use face unlock. Only need pin after reboot.

For me, it only asks for my password around once a week (I haven't done anything to modify the feature). It may depend on which biometric authentication you've enabled. I only use fingerprints.
Maybe auto restart is active and phone restarting itself every night so this is why at the mornings you need to enter your password.

Don't set a pin.
I'm more afraid of being accidentally locked out.
Once bitten, twice shy... hardware failures could leave it in the locked state. Got permanently locked of a mobo like that...

You didn't read the thread obviously lol, with only fingerprint enabled of course its not happening to you.
Settings > The search bar > Auto Restart > disable it
Just check if your phone is set to auto restart at night. That could also be the reason for same. I have mine set to restart every night.

You can rule out that explanation by looking in Settings | About Phone | Status | Up Time to see when the phone last rebooted.
if your uing the face unlock feature which is less secure this issue happens it will ask for your pin time to time which is annoying.
disable that and problem goes away
