I have a wizard with WM6.
The device becomes automatically locked if left for say period of 20-30seconds.
How do I control or disable this such that only backlight is turned off?
I have the "Device Lock" today plugin seems to be doing it?

go on start>settings>personal you got app lock, select lock and change the timing of locking, beside that i wouldnt ask such lame questions
hehe, i know it's a noob question but heck I still can't find it.
I'm using NBD7.9 if it helps (maybe the mod change something).
Anyway, in Personal -> I click Lock
It brings up a screen with:
Password
_________
[Tick Box] Prompt if device unused....[x minutes]
But this is password, and not lock/unlock with time to lock
If you are using something like battery status or spbshell, there are options like "lock device on wake up" or something... try unchecking them too...
Check under start>settings>lock.
Do you have prompt if device unused checked?
That's the only setting I found after using search, using Device lock
Hi,
since I have finally gotten NFC on locked phone to work on 4.2.2 rooted stock ROM, I would like to add a task that unlocks my phone in combination with an NFC tag (which I placed in my car dock).
Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work, whatever tool I use.
- Security settings, especially "clear password" oder "keyguard/patternlock off" don't seem to have effects.
- Widgetlocker can be reached with an intent, but only brings me to the pin screen instead of the desktop.
- "Unlock Keyguard Ad" takes me to the desktop but still seems to keep some kind of keyguard in the background that pops open when I e.g. open tasker.
The problems with "clear password" might be connected to the fact that my device in encrypted ...
So, any idea how to automatically unlock an encrypted Nexus 4 with PIN on stock firmware?
Update: Don't know what went wrong the last time, but now "keyguard off" does have an effect: The same as "Unlock Keyguard Ad". I get to the desktop, I can start apps, but if if I select e.g. tasker from the system bar, I am prompted for the password. Cannot see a system here ...
Also, "clear password" now has an effect: It sets the PIN to empty, but I am still prompted ...
Same issue with password on encrypted device
I was thrilled to find this thread because I'm facing the same issue of having trouble disabling my lock screen with an encrypted device.
My excitement turned to disappointment when I realized it's been over six months with no response. Did you find a solution? Does anyone have any insight into the best way of preventing the need to enter a password on an encrypted device?
So after a bit of digging around and research, I managed to find and enable Smart Lock. For those of you who didn't know, it's hidden under Security > Trust Agents. After you've enabled, a new 'Smart Lock' menu appears at the bottom of the Security settings menu where you can manage your Smartlock features. Interestingly, it also features the new 'on-body detection'.
So I set it up about 3 days ago but it doesn't always work for me and I'm questioning if it works at all. My lock screen is set to re-enable after 10 minutes of inactivity so it may just be that I logged in during this time and thought that it may be working. I have 3 differen't ways of using smart lock, all of which are enabled: 1= Bluetooth devices including my Moto 360 which is always connected 2=Location, my home address and 3=On-body detection.
But yeah, as I say, it doesn't seem to be working as 90% of the time, I still have to enter my pin to access my phone. Anyone else tried this or willing to test it out? I'm running the first N910FXXU1BOC3 release from Netherlands/Samsung Experience stock.
bumpy - Anyone!?
Went out of the country and decided to try it out, was working great, but here and there I noticed that the phone gets unlocked in the pocket on second day of using this feature, my pictures and music folder has been deleted, I suspect that it happened accidentally in the pocket... Don't have any other explanation. I would avoid this feature while traveling or if you have to pull out phone quite often.
I'm also having the same issue, mine doesn't work when using Smart lock with my Moto 360, it keeps asking for my finger print to unlock...
I have used On-Body Detection and I can say that it worked great from my point of view. One thing to mention, i don't keep my phone in the pocket of my pants, always pocket of my jacket so did not have any issues with unlocking by itself and performing random operations.
But on BOC3 i did notice that the phone was constantly awake and one of the things i tried was disabling on-body detection i can see now that the wakelock issue was resolved and i'm getting a estimated 3 Days left on 80% battery. From my point of view this is more important that unlocking the phone easier
And regarding the trusted devices part and pairing with a smartwatch, i don't see the security benefit of that as the Bluetooth range is quite big. From a security point of view, trusted devices based on a Bluetooth link is not a good idea.
Its not working at all for me with 'Trusted Devices' - I use my Motorola 360 as a trusted device and it all confirms its set up. The only change it actually makes though is that when I wake up my phone, I have to swipe up to access my pin entry screen. Whereas if I disable smart lock, I get straight to the pin entry screen! This was a completely clean flash of BOC5 (Lux) all data, system, cache, etc was wiped and formatted before install through ODIN.

Are you guys sure that you're using the feature correctly?
Swiping from the little lock icon on the bottom of the screen, brings back your specified secure lockscreen. It is a way to secure your phone again, even if a trusted device or other set conditions for Smart Lock are met.
Swiping from anywhere else on the screen should unlock the phone without any security checks.
Works 100% of the times for me.
Check out this video I made to explain it better:
Smart Lock works awesome on my phone. I have my truck's bluetooth as a trusted device and I set up my home as a trusted location. Both work flawlessly but one thing I had to do was add an additional location for my home along with the preset "Home" location I had set up in Maps a long time ago. It wouldn't work until I manually added the 2nd home location.
It's a great feature.

Thanks!
It's just not intuitive. I didn't think to swipe outside the lock ring.
Is it possible ty by-pass unlock screen completely, when in "trusted zone"? Without root.
I'm currently using KNOX and have lockscreen disabled.
If I enable lockscreen (to check its features etc), to disable it again I would have to delete my KNOX container.

I suppose it's a matter of personal preference, I like the idea of being able to quickly secure my screen without, for example, disconnecting my BT earphones. Plus, it's more difficult to aim for the little lock icon than to actually swipe in the middle of the screen.
I am not sure about your question as I don't use the KNOX container, sorry! It sounds though as a security measure that is not possible to bypass. But I could be wrong.

Thanks for sharing, I figured it out in the end and forgot to post back with the answer, I couldn't believe I didn't realise it straight away ?

Took me a few attempts too, can be confusing at first!

Still it's the one main feature I have been waiting for with lollipop which I'm glad I have now!

Brilliant, it does work! It was purely me swiping up from the lock icon like you say! Doesn't seem very intuitive but I'm just glad it's working! I owe you a beer!
Hi all,
Could anyone develop an app that reproduces the power button's function? I really would like to turn off the screen WITHOUT locking the device and turning off the "smart lock" function. I have already tried almost 20 apps(like screen off & lock) and even with tasker and secure settings, without success. I don't know what to do..
This will be useful for all who want to use "smart lock" feature integrated by Google, like trusted devices and places, face recognition, physical contact.
These are automatically disabled if you use any of the app/widget that "locks the screen".
I'm kindly asking someone who knows how to make a simple app on Android :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I am using lock screen app such as "Screen Off" to lock my phone instead of using the power button.. Just find it a bit more convenient that way..
However, once i lock the phone that way, the face recognition doesnt work anymore when i unlock the phone.. I have tried 4 lock screen apps, all give the same problem..
Any of you facing the same issue> Any workaround? Thanks in advance..
Same here, I'm using OnePlus 5
I don't believe there is a workaround. Android requires a pin or pattern unlock after the phone has been locked by a 3rd party service.
There is a workaround!
Hi,
I had the exact same problem just now. Instead of using the "Screen Off" app, you can add a new "quick command" in Bixby called "Screen Off". After creating the command, there's a menu option on it to add it to the home screen. It behaves identically to the Screen Off app (albeit about 1 second slower), but will allow screen unlock using face detection afterwards.
