I have configured my Tab7 FE for face recognition and Smart Lock at the location of my home.
They work fine in the setup, and the tablet will unlock with a swipe for a while - maybe an hour or two - at my home location based on Smart Lock. The face recognition also works in this time period.
However after sitting for more than a few hours, both Smart Lock and Face Recognition seem to become disabled. After touching the power button to wake, I see the notifications and a lock icon at the top. Any swipe brings up the pattern lock.
The only way to access the tablet is with the pattern unlock.
I cannot find any setting for "Disable Smart Lock and Face Recognition after n hours".
The current behavior eliminates most of the benefit of Smart Lock and Face Recognition.
Can anyone with a Tab7 FE using Smart Lock confirm that Smart Lock works for more than a few hours for you?

I recently come across Smart Lock feature in Lollipop.
I own YU-YUPhoria phone and setup smart lock feature with face recognition enable.
After the screen is locked. When I try to unlock my phone it comes up with pattern to unlock and there is no option for face recognition.
I want to open my phone with face recognition but only pattern is coming.
Facing same issue..
Have enabled pattern lock + smart lock with face detection
Face detection never works.. Have tried on other yuphoria devices too.. Same issue..
Face Unlock WILL ONLY WORK WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE REFLECTION OF YOUR FACE IN THE SCREEN WHEN IT IS IN LOCKSCREEN POSITION...
On the lockscreen if your screen can see the reflection of your face then it will unlock...
By the way,, i have tried it too and it has been a hit and miss situation

I am running a stock un-rooted note 5 . my issue is that I have to Swipe up on the lock Screen and use the fingerprint to unlock but I only want to use the fingerprint . Any idea HOW to do this?
Please search next time. You have smart lock activated. If you have a lock icon on you lock screen, your phone is not secure. Just swipe anywhere but from that icon and your phone unlocks. If you swipe from the lock icon, then you are securing it for the next time you turn the screen on. To change the smart lock setting, go to settings > lock screen and security>secure lock settings> smart lock.
The thing is I already searched and could not find anything on this. Also smart lock is not turned on. If I wipe it's either use finger print or pin if it can't read my print after a few tries. My phone will not unlock from just a swipe it has to be a pin or password. I don't want to swipe at all but just use a finger print.
I figured it out the thread can be closed.

I'm having this same issue. What was the solution?
So I set up my S7 with Fingerprint, but sometimes it doesn't even ask for my fingerprint and i can just unlock the phone by swiping it.
And when I press on a notification it will unlock the phone by it self without asking for fingerprint
Solutions ?
Using third party lockscreen?
Check Settings, Lock screen and security, Secure lock settings, Smart Lock.
So for years I have used nova launcher and had a simple swipe up on the home screen to lock my device. I got my S10 the other week and continued to use it. I didn't set up face recognition because I am fairly happy with fingerprint unlock.
With face recognition turned off, a swipe up on the home screen locks the screen (turns it off entirely) as it always did. However I tried turning face unlock on today and it's pretty cool. BUT now when I swipe up to lock, I am left with a lock screen rather than a black screen. worth noting that pressing the lock button does turn the screen off entirely. But I have my lock gesture for a reason! I now have to disable face unlock because I insist on locking with a gesture, and it effectively isn't locking the phone.
This is probably a fairly unique problem but if anyone else has experienced this and/or knows a workaround I'd love to hear from you.

So, I have just upgraded to EMUI 10 today and became extremely frustrated when I accidentally turned Smart Lock on (I have a GT2 smartwatch). I have face unlock set to "direct unlock" without having to swipe up, but with Smart Lock turned on it forces you to swipe up regardless. So, I turned off Smart Lock in settings > Biometrics & Password; however, the phone was still requiring me to swipe up with face recognition. The phone would also say "Smart Lock successful. Swipe up to unlock". Very frustrating because the joy of face unlock is that it's fast and you don't have to touch the screen to unlock. It just unlocks.
I tried reseting all my phone settings and starting from scratch, but that didn't work. What did seem to work, though, was going into settings > search > "trusted agents" > Smart Unlock > toggle switch off. That worked right away. For some reason turning off Smart Lock under Biometrics & Password didn't do it for me.
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone, and for myself for future reference in case this happens again and I forget. Marijuana is legal in Canada, so my memory isn't quite what it used to be. lol
