Can anyone confirm that smart lock is working on there device? Have been trying to use it for a while now with very little luck. On body detection works but only within a matter of seconds, trusted places doesn't work at all and i can't unlock my phone with okay Google ( but i have read some devices don't support this feature). Just after some reference points, they could be all the same.
Works fine for me. In stock as for custom ROM. I don't use on body detection but location works fine. Make sure you have enabled great accuracy for location services.
It works fine on my p9000, but I am on Eragon ROM .. Smart lock works as it should and I can use the command ok google to unlock.
However having tried other ROMs I know that what options appear in Security >> Smart Lock vary - as an example when I tried Lineage ROM I couldn't unlock device with my voice, nor could I use voice commands from any screen. Unfortunately I haven't really sued Stock for a little while so I am unsure what actual options are available for the Stock ROM. I would of assumed though the standard Smart Lock options of On Body Detection / Trusted Places / Trusted Devices should be standard (I have 2 other options Trusted face & trusted voice on Eragon)
Going on a long shot, i run a launcher so I'm going to run without for a day or two and see how it works out. Wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but worth a try.

Think I nailed it, i use a gesture to lock my screen on Nova launcher. When i lock with the power button it's fine but when i use a gesture smart lock doesn't work, just incase anyone else ever has a similar problem.

Hi all,
I have searched the forums and have not seen anything related to my question so please forgive me if this is repetitive.
I have never used a BT Headset before and I just bought a little cheap one today. It works very well and I only paid $10 bucks for it so I am quite satisfied but...
In the instructions, it tells me how to make "voice calls" from the headset but it says to "enable the function" on my mobile device and I cannot find where you "ENABLE" this on my phone.
Can anyone point me to where and how I do this? Do I need an app of some kind to do this or should this function be native to the SGSII?
If this may be ROM related... Please see my siggy for info...
Please advise...
Thanks,
Just pressing the button on the Bluetooth device for a second should bring up the voice controls.
Thanks for the reply but that is the problem... Pressing the button on the BT device does nothing. I hear the tone in my ear as the instructions mention but nothing opens up on the phone.
I realized that I did not have the voice Dialer apk installed so I installed it but still nothing happens when I press the BT Device button. It only opens when I press the app on screen and I want COMPLETE HANDS FREE...
Try making sure you have VoiceToGo installed and your rom didn't replace it with that homemyhome app. I never had voice dialer work with the BT button either so I had to stay stock voice apps.
What rom are you on? I can't see sigs since I disabled them a long time ago.

I have "Vlingo" installed and I think that is what you mean by "voice to go" if Im not mistaken. Vlingo only works if you press all of the appropriate buttons on screen and only accepts commands from the phones mic and not the BT.
I installed another app called "Choice Dialer Free" and it is much better except that I still have to enable the app first on screen and then give commands so that is still NOT what I want.
I am on CheckRom Revo.v4
***EDIT*** I found the Samsung Voicetogo app and am installing it now. I will see how that works and advise...
On my phone it works fine from the BT device I start it using the button on the BT device then talk into it.
Your phone isn't pin or pattern locked right? Because Samsung stupidly removed the ability to use voice commands when locked (normal slide to unlock is fine though) I had to give up security for the ability to use my phone when driving because of it.
I am also from Alberta so I know the laws you are dealing with that require voice dialing.
I wonder if any others you installed are conflicting with voicetogo which is the preinstalled Samsung version of Vlingo.

I am using the JKAY Deluxe Mod that comes with my ROM and yes... I have the "slide to unlock" but under it I have the "pin lock" as well however... even when the phone is unlocked it is not working.
I just installed the "voicetogo" and will give it a try and report back...

You ROCK my friend!!! With the Samsung "voicetogo" app reinstalled this now works as it should and LIKE A CHARM!!! Best $10.00 I ever spent at HMV!!!
I have clicked thanks to you and THANKS TO YOU!!! Lol...
No problem.
Things I need to do to my Note before I die....not really...but would like to do anyway....
1. Root the device - without resorting to flashing. Is there an exploit for this?
2. Need udev entries for this device - I run Linux
3. Need Linux based ROM installer for the i717 that works well.
...and the real kicker...
4. I need a lock screen app that will not have the emergancy call feature AND keep my phone locked! You have no idea how many times this thing has woken up at work when someone has tried to call me. Only to have it pocket dial 911 because I bumped it afterwards at work. (and yes, I'm getting an Otter Box Defender for it and that will cure the problem but still would like the app...)
In regards to the lockscreen, I would suggest WidgetLocker Lockscreen. You can completely customize your lock screen performance and if you still want while maintaining any of your stock security features if you have any in place. Hope it helps.
So, does anyone have S Voice wake up actually working on their device?
I've tried setting it up with multiple commands and, as far as I can tell, it refuses to work.
I'm hoping AT&T didn't disable yet another feature of the device -_-
So is it safe to say that nobody has a functional wake up via. S Voice? I know this forum is basically a graveyard compared to the others, but there's a whole lot of nothing going on right now haha.
At my first setup it worked , but not well, only in very quiet environments , and had to do 2 or 3 attempts , now i did the set up again, i used "OK Google" for that , and it works much better, still no Moto X thought .. and since it's to short phrase , occasionally i have some unwanted s-voice activations. But generally it works.

Is this possible. I've tried everything the fingerprint scanner doesn't work unless you have a secure lock screen. I have used knock code since I got the V10 along with fingerprint so I can use the fingerprint, but I don't want to have to put a knock code in if my fingerprint doesn't work or its on the table...
Anyone got a workaround? I'm still searching.
Matt
Does no one know how I can do this?
Matt
I'd like to know the same thing. I know LastPass just added fingerprint support (for marshmallow) and I'd love to be able to use my fingerprint to unlock that (when marshmallow comes) without having to have a secure lockscreen. I don't really care if someone can get into my phone. I just don't want to have to type in my password to use lastpass
I've searched around everywhere for this option .... I just don't think it exists.
So just don't use any lock to get into the phone now. I've got the stuff I want secure in locked files/apps section. Makes using and accessing the main functions of the phone much more accessible. Only doing this for a few days now as a test, but I think it'll be the way I keep it.
My Two Lock Screens Worth
I've addressed the issue another way. I added several more "trusted" places, devices, and connections as well as "trust while moving" which means as long as the phone senses it's on me, I'm at home, connected to Bluetooth devices I know, and more, there's no secure lock but fingerprint still unlocks it. Perfect. Still testing it

Hello, I recently rooted my phone and replace the screen at the same time. So I don't know which one caused this problem, but now my flashlight doesn't work, and my twist for the camera doesn't work. Also the three finger screenshot doesn't work. It's unfortunate because these three features are why I stick with Motorola as I absolutely love them. I've tried apps and they just don't work as good as Moto's stock gestures period does anyone know what would have caused it so I can try to figure out a workaround
I rooted my Moto G9 Power and it and I had the same problem!! Only the physical buttons work, I couldn't find img in Recovery. It turned on normally but does not leave the unlock screen because it does not recognize a finger on the screen and fingerprint! I managed to restore the device with the original program of the device, on the website, I downloaded the "Rescue and Smart Assistant" !! You only need to register your e-mail, and the 'imei' of the device! It downloads and installs the rom by itself!! Fantastic ! Hope this helps !
