Well, although I've got smart lock enabled and configured, after I configured it just disappeared from the settings menu, and I just can't find it.
If i pair a new bluetooth it shows me the notification to add it as a trusted device, but I can't access the main screen with all the options.
Anyone knows it theres a way that I can access it, maybe trough an intent or something like that. I'm going nuts with this, any help?
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Somehow I seem to have turned on a feature which reads out the number of the person sending me a text message. This happens when my phone is on silent too. Which is begining to annoy me, especially when I am at work. Have had a look through settings for SMS but can't see the option to turn it on or disable it. Does anyone know how I can switch it off?
Thanks.

I have not seen any Settings like this in my Mobile for now.If you are sure you changed some settings and than it started reading out numbers use factory default settings it might Help but before doing that wait for some time some other members might know how to stop it.If you have not Received any answer about this than use factory default settings.
The thing is I don't remember changing any settings for this at all. It's not something I wanted to have switched on. I'm reluctant to do a factory reset as I have my phone setup just perfectly at the moment.
Hit the home button twice to get the voice launcher up, turn off "driving mode"
Job done.
Thanks for that. Although I managed to resolve it another way. Went into Settings - voice input and output and de-selected Driving mode.
Your way is a lot quicker though. One for the books.
No worries, took me 48 hours to figure it out for myself the first time.
I just recently got the 5.0.2 update and have a couple of questions.
1. When I set up a pattern lock, then decided I didn't need it, I went to change it back to swipe unlock, only to find it grayed out and the message "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
Tried looking through any settings I could find that related to those reasons but could find nothing that seemed to relate to resetting swipe unlock as an option. Has anyone encountered this or know how to fix it?
2, So I decided to set up Smart Lock with my home as a trusted location. But the device is still locked every time I turn it on, even though the Smart Lock setting shows my tablet at home, right in the middle of the radius of dots it says is the trusted location and I still have to go through the 2 step process of swiping on the main lock screen with the notifications on, then entering the security pattern on a separate screen then finally getting into the home screen.
Any ideas on this one?
And when lollipop comes to the z3 phone is pattern unlocking going to be a 2 step process on that as well?
Regards for any information on these questions.

Do you have an exchange account setup? I know my work email server has restrictions where I have to have a screen lock.

Currently having the same issue. Tried deactivating all device administrator but still could not revert back to swipe unlock

Does anyone know if deleting credential storage will result in any adverse effect?
Well still no joy, although Smart Lock did recognize my location once, but then 10 minutes later it wasn't working again.
And no Spectre51, I don't have an exchange account set up.
Do you have anything under Settings->Security->Device Administrators? I just removed my outlook/exchange account and had the same issue but under device administrators outlook device policy was still checked. Unchecked that and I could change it to swipe.
I know you said you don't have an exchange account but maybe something else in there is still enabled causing the issue.

Only thing turned on under device administrators was Protection by myXperia, turned that off, no change.
Hi,
I use the Android multi-user function with the account of my wife an me. When I switch between the accounts either from the lockscreen or the settings, the home- and the multitaskbutton vanish. Only the back-button is still there and somehow working. The only way to get those buttons back is rebooting the device.
Is there anyone who can confirm this or is my device the only one which behaves this way?
Is there anyone who has also setup a multiuser device?
I would be grateful for an answer.
Bye
I had this once after i tapped to fast in preferences, but cant reproduce.
Have also two accounts without passwords.
Hi,
it must have been an authentification problem. There pops up an dialog, where the device asks for authentication of the google account. Something must have gone wrong with that. After some tries this dialog popped up again while using the second user. I verified the account with the accountdata of the "owner of the device". Since then the buttons did not disappear anymore.
I have exactly the same issue with my Z4. Looking for a fix now
recently I have not been able to remotely lock my gS....when I first started using it to completely lock my hear i got an error message stating that it could not lock remotely when both devices were connected via "bluetooth", so the way I would lock it completely was to turn the Bluetooth off on my "Note Edge" and that worked......now it has stopped working and I think it was due to the newest update that came out recently.....something definitely isn't right because that is a feature that is definitely needed.....I actually used it because the lock screen with the pin only works when it notices the watch isn't on your wrist.....but if someone else has it on, it doesnt always lock.....
anyone else having this issue or has any ideas of what I may be wrong
THANKS!!
I know this is probably an easy fix but i cant find the USB options anywhere, or find any way to reverse the accidental tap on my phone. I was on a road trip and during the Dex install on my windows tablet while in the car, accidentally tapped the Deny connection on my phone. Now it wont connect to my main PC either for Dex and seems to be stuck in Charge Mode only for USB and the Developer options dont seem to have an effect. I dont have the drop down options in the main notifications tab anymore, i think one of the more recent updates killed those options.
Quick edit for clarification: I cant access any files over USB currently through windows, cant access Dex, or anything. Just charge.
Id like to back up all my current stuff before my new phone arrives so getting a data connection is pretty important...
