Smart lock problems - Sprint LG G3

I'm having trouble with smart lock working while at home. I set it up a few days ago by adding my home location as a trusted place. It worked ok for a day but now no matter what I do I can't get it to work again. I've been through all the steps to set it up again by making sure it's turned on in trust agents & making sure my home location is added in maps. I have GPS on. I've tried GPS in high accuracy and battery saving mode, restarted phone many times. I just can't figure out why it worked on day one of lollipop install but not anymore. I'm running stock rooted zv8 build that's available in the development thread.
Anyone else experiencing problems with smart lock or have any ideas why I might be having issues with it? :banghead:

I have the same issue, it used to fix itself whenever I left and came back home but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Rebooting the phone seemed to mess it up for me and I had to leave and come back for it to fix itself, when that worked. I'm running the latest Validus so it isn't just an issue with the stock rom.

Good to know it's not just me I guess. Really wish I could get it figured out though, it's one of the best features of lollipop.

I'm not sure, but I think Selinux mode changer fixes that. Set it to permissive.
I can't remember for sure how people fixed it.

Well I downloaded SElinux mode changer and set it to permissive and rebooted. Smart lock still wont work for me. This is really frustrating. I hate to clean install the rom again in hopes of fixing it but I might have to.

Try just wiping cache and dalvik cache it will force everything to restart worse comes to worse I guess you will need to wipe.

When it's not working for you, are you sure your GPS is actually getting a good location fix? Mine stops working randomly.

Is this a CM10/AOKP Bug?

Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

Download GPS status and toolbox from the play store. Menu, reset, then you're good. I've had this problem once and it hasn't come back since doing this.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

He means download the app. Open the app. Then hit menu from within the app. Choose reset. Then close the app. Then reboot your phone and try your GPS.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?
Thanks again.

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Yes, that was it. How on earth did someone know to do that based on just that symptom?? Why is there no way to do a GPS reset like that via the system menus?

Bluetooth stopped working....

Whenever I now try and switch bluetooth on it instantly snaps the button back to the off position, I have tried turning it on in loads of different ways and it just won't come back on...
It was working fine till yesterday, I installed Swapp Link app and let it manage the BT connection and now it won't switch on... I have remove / reinstalled the app and restarted phone etc, nothing has fixed it.. any ideas? ;(

Do you have any app like Liama or similar?
Maybe that app has rule to switch your BT?
If you don't have it, try to restart TS and wipe both cache from recovery (if you have it)

Bluetooth also suddenly stopped working for me. And it is not possible to turn it on. To make things more interesting - I didn't install anything on my omate since I upgraded to TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip on the day when my omate 8GB/1GB 2100 arrived more than a month ago. It worked fine all this time, and without any visible cause it just stopped today.
I wanted to tether to ipad to provide internet connection, while riding in a bus, and suddenly snap - bluetooth turned itself off. I tried restarting omate. I couldn't figure anything to get it back to work.
it happened exactly 6 hours ago. About the time when you made your post.

how to do a hard reset of omate, without voiding the warranty? Do I need to wait until battery runs out?
No, just turn off quickboot and power the watch down. When you turn it back on Bluetooth will probably reinitialize and work again. For a while.

Quickboot didn't knock it out. The defective TrueSmart MTK firmware and hardware combination cause all sorts of problems with using Bluetooth, including some that require a full power cycle reset. That is not possible with Quickboot enabled unless the battery runs down or is removed.

Glad to see your BT and TS are working fine now...
All el devices could be "fixed" by restarting it.
They are all using RAM and/or dalvik cache and that has to cleared sometimes...
Dalvik cache is a "place" where Android decompile apk files for quicker access, so when you wip dalvik cache from recovery you are clearing everything so system has to decompile apk files again and RAM is cleared also...
It's like fresh start and it "fix" many software issues that way...
If you have ADB tools and rooted device, you can use adb reboot from adb shell, no need to open your watch, lose warranty and pull battery out...

Auto-Rotate Issues

Ok, I know it's a known issue, but does anyone know a permanent fix for this that doesn't require disabling Google Now? I shouldn't have to do something like that just to get auto-rotate to work.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
It seems that Disabling both Google Now & Location settings fixes the issue. Since disabling them both I haven't had any issues. Still, I shouldn't have to do that to get auto-rotate to stop working.
It seems that this is an issue that has affected other users. It's so weird, and I hope a permanent solution is found soon.
Try flashing the factory image. If you still have a rotation issue your device is probably defective and you should rma it.

So I did that, didn't fix it. I flashed a ROM, Dirty Unicorns, and that didn't fix it.

Memory Card Issues Since Root

Since root I constantly lose my ringtone settings and see the memory card disconnect & connect. I have done a restore to the day I rooted & haven't done anything to it aside from changing font & freezing apps but it is still happening. Anyone have any advise or should I just try to unroot? If I have to unroot is there a best way to do it?

afaik the only way to unroot would be to use the flashtool to flash a stock ftf
edit: or maybe use the Full Unroot option is supersu, but Im not sure that returns you to stock completely like flashing a stock ftf.

I guess my first question should have been is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Not experience this. If you haven't tried a data wipe I would give that a try. You'll spend less time setting your phone up again than you would trying to figure out why this is happening. Just one suggestion. Hopefully someone has a better answer

I would do the data wipe from the stock sony/android recovery rather than the dual recovery. I read something somewhere by someone who knows "things" that a wipe from stock recover is more complete.

Just beware that wipe from stock recovery should nuke your internal storage so have things backed up
Thanks for the warning. Did the wipe & set everything back up. Disabled apps as opposed to freezing them for now. No other changes until I see how it goes. Then will take it one change at a time. Block ads. Xposed & camera mod. Etc.
Thanks everyone. I'll let ya know if the problem is still present or what sets it off.

Here's hoping all goes well
OK. Factory reset from stock recovery, wiped cache from dual recovery, reloaded basic apps, disabled several & all has been working great.
Installed Xposed & 20MP Superior Auto then the phone will no longer go to Airplane mode or shut down the wireless connection.
Again hard reset, wiped cache, reloaded the backup from before installing Xposed...still won't shut down the wireless & go to airplane mode.
Can't imagine either of those would change the Airplane functionality. Not sure where to go from here.

It was the Setup Wizard! Disable or freeze that & Airplane won't work. What the hell? Time to try the 20MP Superior Auto again.

Good find
try wiping data and factory reset once again. i was also having the same problem but resolved by factory reset two times.
Memory card issues seem to be gone. Reactivated amplify & greenify the other day with no issue. Still need to turn on ad blocking.
Only issue I have now is the audio through my headphones keeps going out. Think my beats headset finally **** the bed. Now I have to figure out a decent pair.
Any suggestions?
I liked beats but some people say it is a gimmick when compared to "good" headphones. What's the best in your opinion?

5.1 update keep disabling mobile data

Hi fokls,
I recently updated to 5.1 ( Lollipop). I am on Tmobile and for some reasons, the mobile data setting kept getting disabled frequently.
Anyone knows what to do to fix the issue. I have tried pure stock as well as with root. None of them seems to fix the issue.

Just want to confirm, I have this problem too. Also on T-Mobile.
Edit: is it really just the setting that gets disabled? I have been rebooting to fix it.

Why don't you enable airplane mode and then disable instead of rebooting. It might work.

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm waiting on it to happen again to see if I can just re-enable mobile data.
Even if I can, this is still a very annoying problem. You'll miss a lot of emails, and messages. Yet another reason you might not want Lollipop

Its strange though. But if you go to the setting, then mobile data, you will see that it is turned off. Turning it back on, will re-enable it. I dont know why it does it though. No need for air plane toggle.
Is there any possibility this problem could be tied to a default power-saving setting that is turning mobile data off to conserve battery?
Just a thought.

I did two things, but I haven't had this happen since I did them.
1. Renamed HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk and HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to disable them. (just add .bak to the end) They are located in "root/system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/" and "/<SAME/ARM/"
2. Enabled the option in Mobile Network settings to "Always-on mobile data"
Like I said, I don't know for sure if either really fixed it, but I haven't been having this problem for the past 2 days.
#1 . do I need root to rename the files?

yes, that requires root
I have no answer for you but, I am on T-Mobile and that's not happening to me. My WiFi becomes disabled sometimes/rarely. Also USB debugging gets disabled as soon as I back out of the settings for it. This is on B309.
My friend and I both using HAM2 on Wind, still on 4.3. Phone signal (not only Data) frequently turned itself off, then turned back on after a minute or longer.
Could it be the AWS (1700) frequency not reacting well to Huawei power genie?
I tried using "Normal" instead of "Smart" power saving scheme but no joy. Just froze "Power Genie" app via Titanium Backup. I think it turns the power saving feature off completely. Will monitor to see if it helps. I'll trade network stability for shorter battery life.
Apparently this problem is getting worse with Lollipop update.
