Safe location doesn't work

Kim3 — Sat, 13 Jun 2015 10:32:38 GMT

If set up my house as a safe location so I wouldn't have to unlock with code when I'm at home, but it doesn't work. How can I get it to work? It is set up at the right address, are there any other settings I should look in to?

@Kim3

How accurate is your location?

GPS is accurate at best to 50m. I'm not aware of the "room for error" this has on smart unlock. But it doesn't work well for me.

50 meters might be too much, but I'll test this and report back.

Hi there. Smartlock by location does not work. I set my home, work, etc. as safe places and i still need to unlock the phone everytime with my pattern.

I do not use soft screen lockers, just pressing the hardware button (i clarify this because there is an Android bug where programs using a specific api render issues with smartlock).

Any tip?

Thanks.

Is this working? I have to unlock every time even when i specified safe places.

Thanks.

Just tested this with a Z3 running Lollipop and it works just fine, when I unlock the screen, the pattern lock is no longer there and I get a message:

Your device is unlocked while at Home, which you set as a trusted place.

To force your device to lock, turn the screen off, then turn it on and touch the lock icon

Sorry, did not realize my post had been moved, just somehow "dissapeared".

If works for you, i'll clean the cache partition and report back.
