I'm curious too. I currently own a MiBand and everything works fine.
I think we'll have to wait for Android L which supports Bluetooth LE unlocking.
Currently, it works with a Tasker profile, though it's often a bit slow and can take up to 5-10 minutes untill it realises that the Miband is there / not there. On the other hand, if it's security you're thinking about, it may be a solution.

can you link where u got the mi band from? and what price you paid?

I got mine from ibuygou and paid 30$ for it. Though there are other major Chinese sites that sell it (like Banggood, ...)

For now there's no solution for truly proximity-unlock as in MIUI.
But for other phones only near solution is Xposed-module No Lock Home (all other apps non-functional for reasons).
It will to enable secure lock-screen if no connection with bracelet e.g. you lost phone = distance over 10 meters.
When Mi Band connected in module settings once tap "plus" icon > Bluetooth (MAC address)
This will fill MAC-address in field below and auto-locking will work.
Experiment with other settings too and don't forget to donate to author of module.
Maybe sometime he will add unlocking based on signal strength from band as in MIUI: I posted feature-request.

Did no lock home work for you? I thought it didn't support bluetooth le?
Currently i'm using tasker profile but it's sloooooow

Will this work if we use MIUI ROM?

Trusted Location

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.

Smart lock add NFC tag

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.

Android Auto on Mix 2s

Hi guys
This device has just been launched in Ireland.. my current oneplus device is getting on a bit so time to upgrade...
Anyway,can anyone tell me if the mix 2s works with android auto head units in their cars?? this is kinda important as I use it daily for work as I travel a lot...
From searching on the web,it seems to be hit and miss with users getting two large black bars on their cars screen,so was hoping maybe the good folk here can chime in... maybe a recent update sorted the problem or something??
btw it's a kenwood head unit i would be plugging into
Thanks

Thanks man, I haven't actually got the mix 2s yet....
Does your mix 2 work in your car head unit without any issues????
or have you got the black bar issue like in this thread?? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/android-auto-car-screen-t3833709

No any problem
Work well
After installation and before the launch of Android Auto
It is necessary to
Accept all permissions
Create a WiFi access point (menu - paramètres- Point accès wifi mobile )
Recognize on the car Bluetooth connection and WiFi connection by Access point wifi mobile
and only after connecting the phone USB cable to the car and running Android Auto

Thanks man,really appreciate your input...will take the plunge and buy the phone anyway

Android Auto works great with my global model. I use it in my vehicle every day. No problems with it.

Good to know,I really rely on it as I drive all over the shop daily for work...I have it ordered anyway so will be here Tuesday!! will have to figure out how to root these devices now or maybe will stick with MIUI,haven't done it since I had my nexus 4 and I've used oneplus devices for the last few years....

Android Auto works for me. Using Mi Mix 2s on latest mi.eu 10.2 (Android P). I have a KIA Rio 2018 which is compatible with both Android Auto and the Apple equivalent. Only hickup I've encountered is that Auto refuses to start Spotify/Audible/audio players when connected to car. Easily avoided by starting said app before connecting to the car. Minor bug but still annoying. This might be a isolated problem though since Auto isn't avaliable in my country yet. Other than that I haven't encountered any more bugs.

I can not use waze, always frozen when try to look for an address, anyone knows why?

I have same issue with Spotify and pocketcasts. So don't believe it's a isolated issue.

You have to give android auto and the music or whatever app you are trying to use the right to start other apps in the background. miui is limiting this by default, therefore you have to allow it first. after that this will work without a problem. it is in the miui seetings of the corresponding app, the top option "allow app to start in the background" or "allow other apps to start in the background". Something like that it was called

Smart unlock option / app for stock or xiaomi.eu

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.
