Hey
Does PIN unlock work similar to a phone? or as long as its on your wrist, it is unlocked?
I have setup Google Pay and it needs a PIN unlock, but its annoying if you have to unlock the watch whenever you want to use the watch.

I have it set up you don't have to put in the PIN everytime you look at your watch. Usually once in the morning and maybe once or twice the remainder of the day. Not sure what triggers it TBH, maybe inactivity. I was expecting it to be an annoyance it isn't that bad though.
It needs to be put in if you take off the watch and put back on
Normally only when you first wear it, but if your watch moves more freely on your hand it might think that you removed the watch so will request again the pin. Happens to me not more than once or twice during the day.

Yes. it's a pain. The lock should be only for Gpay/Spay, not entire watch

I agree whole heartedly. I came from a Galaxy Watch Active2 and a Galaxy Gear S3 Classic before that and you only had to unlock them for Samsung Pay and not to read or clear notifications, even if you didn't have them on. The lock thing is a bit of a pain, especially on a day that I don't wear my watch such as Sunday. What was Samsung thinking with this?
So I find once I've put the watch on and have unlocked, I dont need the PIN until I've taken out off then picked up.

I just read in a review that if the phone is locked and you press the camera button, you still have to enter your passcode/pattern. Have any ROMs/DEVs gotten around this?
I hate that....I would like to know this too.
Not true it still asked for password.

Huh? That is the problem!
Well, you can set the lock screen to lock after 15 minutes of inactivity, thus disabling the security password for 15 minutes. If you use your phone often then it'll probably never lock, and you'll be able to jump straight to the camera... Or you could just disable the password for now
its supposed to do that. Why have a password on the phone then, If someone can bypass it?

My quess is that he wants to disable the lock screen just for the camera app so that you can take a picture fast.
yes that is why....you can bypass the lockscreen only to take a picture, not for anything else....not much danger could come of someone being able to take a picture with your phone, only if they could access the other parts of it.

Hi guys,
I've recently realised that after I receive a phone call, the phone automatically gets unlocked after the call has ended.
Is there any setting to prevent this?
I am so used to stuffing the phone back into my pocket and do not wish to inadvertently butt dial someone or launch apps while the phone is sitting unlocked in my pocket.
Hope you guys can help on this.
i dont know what kind a security lock you have, if its a pin it shouldn't, thinking about this, im sure i have to put my pin code to access the phone during and after a call otherwise this would be a security loophole.

Slide to unlock is pretty useless without security. It even let's you use the notification area so I doubt it would fully prevent pocket dialling.
Anyway, doesn't surprise me.

Umm, yes I know that it doesn't offer much security but I don't want to punch in a password or use the camera security each time I want to access my phone.
The lock screen doesn't automatically lock after a call without security. Power button to turn off the screen does. So after a call, turn off the screen.

Alrighty then. Thanks
I'm too lazy to type a PIN all the time, so I like the idea of Smart Lock to unlock my phone.
What I would like to do is have a very small Bluetooth device that I can carry in my pocket which will keep my Nexus 5 unlocked when it is paired, but of course the phone would lock if removed from the area of the Bluetooth device in my pocket.
An obvious thing is to carry a Bluetooth headset - but I don't want to use the headset to talk, so that's not a great idea.
I'm really looking for a small device that I can carry that will pair with my phone, but really do nothing other than connect which would then trigger Smart Lock.
Any ideas?
Get one of those selfie bluetooth remote

What about those fobs that go on your keychain to help you find your keys if you lost them?

I completely forgot about those! I wanted to order one but it slipped my mind. Thanks for reminding me!
This isn't answering the question you're asking, but the Google Play Services update that's rolling out currently is adding "Trusted Places". This way you can be at home, work, or any other place defined in Google Maps and the device automatically unlocks. Tasker and apps like Unlock With Wifi have done this for some time.

I know it's not necessarily a "simple" or "does nothing" solution, but have you considered a android wear device? That's what I have set up as my trusted device.
Might be easier to remember to wear a watch than to throw some meaningless device into your pocket; the watch will have more purpose.
I have been informed that as I look at my phone too much as it is, that I will be divorced if I get an Android wear device.

If anything, wear device would cut down on how much you check phone since notifications come up. But from there it's all about self control [emoji6]
@ronwi2 I know this thread is really old but did you find anything satisfactory?
So I have it setup and have my house as a trusted location but it keeps asking for my pattern. Anyone else having the same issue?

It woks most of the time in my home, but not all the time...
Make sure you don't have any apps setup to turn the screen off, IE I used to have tasker setup to turn screen off when i set it on wireless charger, but was actually locking the device each time. I've heard others mention the same thing with other apps. So Rule that out first. Otherwise it is not 100% unfortunately.

Also something wise I just found out while experimenting is that of you are device only for gps it never works either.
Basically it is face unlock. Wait for a few seconds and you should see the lock become unlocked at the bottom

I use high accuracy....yes I waited like 30 seconds and nothing......oh well I am putting it to 30 minutes because I hate using a lock to be honest. I moved to Medellin from the states and girls whatsapp me every 5 seconds. I don't have time to unlocked that much lol

Its face unlock that sucks. Face unlock on KK you just point the device and if its good, it goes straight to your home screen. No swipes, no hands.
This version always takes a swipe even if successful and as you can see yourself, you cant direct the camera.
Talk about fixing something that isnt broken google! :crying::crying::crying:
It depends on your usage. On KK, when glancing on my phone when changing the music track with lock screen controls often unlocked my phone accidentally, so I needed to lock again. Now on Lolipop, I can change tracks without worrying to unlock.

Yes, if you are listening to music all of the time when using your phone I take your point.
I'm not against what they have done in Lollipop, I'm against the lack of choice.
I just feel that face unlock is not very necessary , instead they should have put some othe premium feature.

When apple starts something, it becomes a fad, so good or bad , face unlock is here to stay, just like the iPhone X notch
I remember watching TV commercials on TV for some Motorola or Samsung phone promoting face unlock here in India maybe 5 or more year ago.
Fwiw, I've been really surprised by face unlock - it's really quick and simple. It's rare that it doesn't recognise me (so few false negatives) but I do find myself wondering how accurate it is - so how low is the false positive rate (it's not unlocked for anyone else yet but I've only tried it with a few people)
