Google Smart Lock On Body Walking Pattern Recognition - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
On the Google description of Smart Lock ( I am new here so I am unable to post the direct link to the page, but you can find it at: support. google. com / nexus / answer / 9075927? hl=en&ref_topic=6168852. There is a reference to certain devices being able to detect and recognise your walking pattern. I would love to learn how that is implemented and what devices it works on. Does anyone have any leads?
If you are having trouble finding the passage on the webpage where this is mentioned, you can find it here:
-> "Learn about locking options"
-->"Keep your device unlocked when it's on you"
---> "Use on-body detection"
----> Second bullet point
Thanks!

I guess not receiving a single answer makes one wonder if this is the right place to be asking this. Is there a different subforum I should be posting on?
Thanks

Howdy, it looks like what you are looking for is called "reverse modem tethering" this is a feature that you'll have to do some reading and a little of command line commanding but most devices on the market now have this somewhere allowable.
Some things to consider doing or reading up on:
modem tethering; (reverse or otherwise) this is the act of sharing a data connection from one device to another, there are many methods now available. Add 'wifi' , 'bluetooth' , and or , 'USB' to your Google search quarries.
Specs; (your computer(s) and your android phone/tablet/phablet) when you post back with more questions provide some of this information so others can direct you to more specific information or methods to solve your question.
ADB; (otherwise known as Android Debugging Bridge) is a very complete but somewhat unfriendly way of taking full control of your device though the USB port; there is also a wireless version on some devices if you're willing to have that kind of security risk. Add 'ADB' to google search quarries involving modem tethering and maybe 'port forwarding'.
Edit your first post; if you put "[Q]" (without the quotes) as the first three characters of your thread title you'll find more people looking to answer your question, and maybe add the OS that your computer is running with the version of Android and model of device. This kind of structure to a forum title makes it really easy for those that have the knowledge to help you to quickly find your question and also encourages them to help as it shows you're actively looking to get this solved quickly, one more thing, when its solved change the title to reflect that with the word 'Solved' in the brackets instead of a 'Q', this will keep people from trying to re-answer your question and help other Google searchers out there find the solution that you or others provide here.
Hope some of this can be of help to you in your searches for solutions, if not try google with the following examples---
Google: how to reverse modem tether (general for android with usb)
Same search as above but with a "similar" command sent to the search bar so it will filter the web to results that are or are similar to XDA-Developers
Much the same as the above to links but the results list is less than 5,000 results and should return only related and helpful links for all operating systems
---with all of the above links take a look at how I constructed the Quarry and make edits to suit your needs, you can also try replacing "similar:" with "site:" to search only one site when you find one that is particularly helpful and change the URL part to reflect other sites you find useful. If you want more specific answers then most readers (myself included) will need more specific questions

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?

Hey Druvdave,
You will be pleased to know that we are already working on the download option and it will be available on the upcoming update. Regarding the quality selection, it's already there in our roadmap and will be supported in the near future.
About locking the screen, the existing locking techniques are no longer sufficient due to the security restrictions on the newer android versions. So, we are actively researching on the possible solutions without any additional permissions. so we may not be able to provide any ETAs at the moment.
Online section disappears
Why online section in m x player disappears sometimes. I dont understand how does it come back. How to bring online section back?

Cannot remove Chinese symbols from top right of screen

Hi,
I have been playing around with my Blackview 9700 Pro trying to flash it with TWRP.
I haven't had much luck...I formatted the whole device and had to install a stock ROM. I also had to rewrite the IMEI number which I did succeed with.
Unfortunately there are two lines of red text saying TEE: "Chinese symbols" and Google: "Chinese symbols" on the top right of my screen at all times.
I've had a good look online and couldn't find a post that was helpful. One did say to to into factory mode and choose the last option on the menu which I did, but it changed nothing.
Is there any way to fix this? I'm not super technical and can't seem to find a solution to my issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your phone was shipped with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) what is a technique for securing the content on Android devices via securing the area of the main processor, to protect sensitive information. Due to fact you modded device's Stock ROM this feature no longer is activated. That's what the red notification alerts you.
IDK of any method to get rid off of this alert.
More info about TEE here:
TEE in Android Development - DZone
This overview of TEE, or Trusted Execution Environments, will show you what they are and how they secure sensitive information on Android mobile devices.
dzone.com
The words are as below.
TEE: not activated
Google: not activated
I have exactly the same problem for months now, on the same phone.
That's what blackview support answered me :
"Hello, After checking with our engineer, you need to write the code by yourself. So In order to solve your problem more efficiently, please contact this email: [email protected], they will tell you how to write."
I havent got any answer from them, it has been more than a month now.
I am regretting to have bought this phone...
The words are as below.

[SOLVED. kind of] The forum's "Search this thread" function does not seem to work as intended.

Hi all,
I am facing the following phenomenon: I'm looking at some forum thread, say with 50 pages or so. At the top right I see a button labeled "Search this thread". Sounds like a useful tool to quickly search that thread for a certain term. I click that button, type in my search term(s) and underneath a drop down box with OTHER threads, which I do not want to search appears. Often times the thread I'm currently looking at doesn't even show up in that list underneath the search box.
So, what am I doing wrong? With the search feature as it is, I truly have a hard time finding things.
Thank you very much in advance. Driving me nuts.
@rogerwilco75 A similar question has been raised here. Maybe the replies there answer also your question?
@Oswald Boelcke Thank you for the link.
I was using a Chromium-based desktop browser and observed this somewhat inconsistent behavior on both Linux and Windows.
I will make a comparison using FF, and then both browsers with their extensions/addons enabled (most likely uMatrix and/or uBlock Origin to "interfere". DecentralEyes or HTTPSEverywhere not so much I guess), in a private window/tab and with more lowered "shields" settings in the respective browsers (cookies, trackers, DNT ...).
Back to the original question: once or twice clicking the "Search this thread" led to exactly that, then on some other occasions it didn't. I'll have to figure out that pattern.
Anyway, thanks once again for the link, since it let me get around using the ...drum roll... search function.
I guess this can be marked as "SOLVED... kind of", since I'll need to look into it deeper and get more data points/a clearer view.
