Smart lock not working with BOB7?

After i installed BOB7 update (did a complete re-install) the smartlock function dont work at all. I can add places and bt device, but still have to use pattern. Did work before BOB7 (NL9 was it?)....
I am a bit unsure if the play services has ben updated just this week and thats the reason?! I always get 2 google play services stopped working at each boot.
Hate lollipop :crying:

I habe a similar problem. With my Nexus10 and my S5 smart-lock is not OK with GPS since Google Play Services 7.0.
Nexus 10 runs with Android 5.1 and the S5 with BOB7.
I wait for update of play services.

Same version 93(with suffix 436 and 438) on both devices.
With bt smartlock is ok with S5 in my car.

Urk! Google is sure messing with us with lollipop. Miss kitkat :crying:

I have .96 today. Still 2x google play services errors on startup and no smartlock functionality...

Smart-lock is OK again at Nexus10 and S5 without any change at my side.
Don't know why, but its good anyway.

I just loaded G900FXXU1BOA3 on my S5 - SM-G900F and was very disappointed to see only trusted devices in smartlock..... wanted to use trusted face / or trusted places. Played around by uninstalling updates for play services and then re-installing. At one stage the trusted places suddenly was available. I tried loading latest play services from apk mirror: 7.0.93 (1778921-438), now my trusted places has disappeared again, so it seems to be somehow part of the play services, that controls this feature I guess. Seems this feature is not properly working for a lot of people judging by forums etc.

I have found out that the reason i get two google play services has stopped errors is the smartlock. So this has to be a google play services bug.

I had this problem when I installed XtreStoLite ROM (BOB7) Coming from Stock (BOB3). Couldn't get Smart Lock to work from a trusted place (the way I use it). I did many things trying SmartLock to work, and I think one worked for me.
Here's what I did: When you open Trusted Places, usually there's a home address there, and it should work with that one, so I added one more address to my trusted places, this time using the GPS, so the address wasn't quite right (actually it's my neighbour's addres).
Then after a minute it worked. No more unlocking my phone with my fingerprint when I'm at home.
I still need to wait for a couple minutes after every boot for this to work. What I think has worked for me also, is open an app that uses GPS (e.g. Maps or any weather app) in my case I use 1Weather. I think by doing this, currently location is updated and that way Smart Lock can work.
By the way, I still get a Google Play Services has stopped on every boot.
Don't know if this will work for somebody else, but I hope it does :good:

Thanks, I just did this on my N4 and it worked. Google has always thought I lived a few houses down the street. :highfive:

I've noticed that when I'm inside my house the Trusted Places thinks I'm actually in the middle of the street so my actual location falls outside the circle of "Home".
Added a new location that covers my driveway and sidewalk, and now it works.

Seems like this issue is fixed in the .97 release of google play services and to add a second trusted place at the same spot. I have no more play services stopped at boot anymore either.

I have issues with inconsistent or I'd rather say "almost not working" Smart Lock too. I have OC4 deodexed/rooted and set up lockscreen with fingerprint/password/pin/pattern. Despite of trying to scan my fingertips several times with different angles and stuff it still works so-so for pointing fingers and kinda bad for one-handed use with a thumb! BUT I'd better keep device secured (may be with pin or pattern) in case of lost or stolen phone with all my banking info and things like that will be available right away with a swipe! Smart lock/trusted places isn't working for me! I tried to downgrade/upgrade maps, play services, remove/add nearby places like next 2-3 houses but nothing helped. And apparently gps connection/location detection doesn't work instantly and shows my location in a circle of 20 blocks or so! BT trusted devices and on-body detection doesn't seem to work either... Any known workaround or temp fix?

HELP - Fingerprint Sacnner App Locker for OP2

Hello, Yesterday i have received my OP2 and flashed it to Hydrogen OS, which is working super smooth and fine. All sensors are working properly. I am using Fingerprint Scanner to unlock the phone, but i was thinking is their any app by which i can use my Fingerprints to lock and unlock the apps as right now for those i have to still use pattern or Pin lock.
Searching for some apps for this i found that an app called FingerSecurity <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity&hl=en> is available at playstore, that is able to do the same what i need, but it is not compatible with OP2. so is their any way to use it on OP2 or is any other app available for doing so ???
--Thanks

I doubt if 3rd party apps will be able to access FPS till devices are upgraded to android M.

Activating Google Smart Lock On Meizu MX5

Hi guys,
I have activated Google Smart Lock from Google Settings app, and yet it doesn't seem to work on my Meizu MX5.
Do you have any idea why wouldn't it work? Maybe it has something to do with permissions?
Since I first got my Meizu MX5 I've been experiencing issues with push notifications. It seems that even if you add an app to Accelerator's whitelist, allow it to auto-launch and allow it to work in standby - it still doesn't always work. I had never have this problem before I switched from Nexus 4, and it is really annoying... Maybe I need to add another app to these lists in order for Google Smart Lock to work?

PDP Pro Help

Hey there,
So I've been having a good time with my S8, and am even enjoying the beta testing in all its buggy glory Unfortunately, I seem to have cornered myself into a situation I can't seem to find a resolution for. Basically, after one of the recent beta updates, I had to set PDP engine back up as an owner / administrator, which it normally takes care of on its own using Knox and the sort.
Now for the real issue-- Since I currently cannot employ Samsung Pay due to my Financial Institution's limitations, I disabled basically everything Knox related. I assume that, in my crusade against Knox, I disabled whatever allows for Device Owner to be set.. Unfortunately, this means PDP engine / PDP pro don't work. I can't re-enable or disable anything... Is there a means of undoing PDP changes so that I can get everything working again?
Thanks!

Silly me, I just realized the issue is that pdp engine can't get itself set up right on this beta build, seems like everything else is fine

Would you mind sharing your fix? I am trying to set a device owner on oreo but after rebooting I am locked out of the device

PDP Pro has a self-contained Samsung build (no additional plugin) that works up to the last Beta (I don't have non-beta Oreo yet, so can't really give you any advice if that's where you're at). Uninstalling the App + Plugin, clearing cache, then installing this version seemed to clear everything up for me. Not too sure about that Workstation lockout you have. You may need to compile as much information as possible and launch a separate thread for useful support on that front

Mines worked flawless all through the oreo betas...if anything link2sd has locked me out an force closes on opening

Why I've rooted SM-N9860

For few months I used stock N9860 (CHC), but after the Android 11 update Android Auto stopped working (in the car). I guess because of the side loaded of the Play Market etc. Resets, reinstalls etc. didn't help. So I've decided to accept the black side
Installed TGY Android 11 firmware (btw, downgrade to Android 10 is possible), rooted using @Mentalmuso TWRP and Magisk (now the phone shows scary red messages during the boot sequence , fixed SafetyNet check with the proper attestation so file and added native call recording and network indicator to the cscfeatures.xml.
As a result, Android 11 works fine, Android Auto works, Google Pay works etc.
And no more Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass and Secure Folder (I never use them).
Why I haven't done it earlier?

Don't you lose stuff like Netflix in HD, some banking apps, some games and so on.
I'm totally fine with TGY, android auto, banking apps, Samsung pay, Samsung secure folder and so on.
But if you are happy, then great for you!

As long as SafetyNet check is passed with the latest Google security updates it shouldn't be any issues with the apps. I see the Netflix in Play matket at least. (but I have no single reason to use it because of their territory based restrictions and availability of the plex + radarr + sonarr etc.)
The only inconvenience I have is the scary texts during the boot of the device

What network are you on?

Would you be able to point out on instructions on how to root our great device? I had S8, S10e and never rooted them but now since one fellow XDA member found a hack on how toake eSIM work I'm going to root but don't know how.
P.S. Also I'm on CHC region so Samsung Pay is useless for me there and I never used secure folder and stuff from Samsung.

A week has been passed since I rooted the device. So far so good. No issues, no glitches...

Mind sharing how you did it, mate?

Regardless of SafetyNet you will lose function of some Samsung app like secure folder or Samsung pay because it blows the fuse for Knox, after its blown there is no way to get it back. But if you don't care about those then I guess it's a win win.

With magisk you overpass that stuff
I am rooted and can use properly any bank app, sPay, sHealth, Google pay ....

Really, I was not aware you could get around it. I was always under the impression once you trip Knox their is no way to get it back.
I'm actually happy to be wrong lol.

I've finally figured out the root cause of the issue I have and this is because of the "root", unfortunately.
To make Google Pay working, I need to apply "Universal SafetyNet Fix", it effectively disables hardware ctsProfile attestation and SafetyNet is green - Google Pay works fine. But. This fix breaks some crypto workflow internals (JNI can't check signature etc.) and StrongSwan VPN client can't do reauth (if you use certificate based authentication) - after the initial connect, in AUTH_LIFETIME timeout (usually it is 10-20 minutes), VPN tries to reauth and can't, so connection hangs.
So I have a sad choice - either Google Pay or VPN. I'll try to look into the sources of the fix and vpn client (both are open) but it takes so much time (workaround is to diasable ipsec reauth, but it weakens the security).
Any ideas much appreicated.

try using this module to pass safetynet instead. This worked for me but I am not using that VPN so can not really check.
