I have a problem with Smart Lock on Pixel 6.
When Trusted Locations or Trusted Devices is activated the fingerprint reader will not work properly from the lock screen.
It does not light up properly and I always have to put my thumb on it twice for it to unlock.
Have been like this since I bought it in November, have hoped that an update will solve it, but apparently not.
Have also googled a lot about the problem but can not find anyone else with the same problem, so do not really know what to do.
Does anyone else have this problem or anyone who has tips on how to solve it?
I have uploaded two videos so you can see my problem.
Smart Lock activated:
Smart Lock disabled:
My advice is to stop using Always On Display. That behavior is what was too annoying for me to bear with.

I rather disable Smart Lock. But there must be something wrong with my unit, because other people don't seem to have the same problem.
Can someone try Smart Lock and see if they have the same problem?

I do have the same problem and I suspect that it may be connected to the fact that I've disabled the "forced lift to check phone" via adb before.

Hello P1an,
I have Smart Lock enabled with a Fitbit band and all seems to work well.
When on the lock screen, the phone is already unlocked through Smart Lock or if my fingerprint is asked, it is really fast.

Happy to hear it's working like it should for you
Could you be so kind and make two videos like I did, one with Smart lock activated and one with it disabled so I can see how it's working for you. That would be very much appreciated!

Thank you for your videos, but the second video was not really like mine.
Could you try turning off "Tap to wake phone" under lock screen settings. And then try to use the fingerprint sensor and post a video of what happens for you
Finally it's fixed with the latest update! Now Smart Lock is working like it should with Always on display.

I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)
Ok, let's hope Google is on it

think about it...you're in your car, the screen times out and you want to make a call using voice recognition....so you have to unlock the screen and then use the voice recognition... sounds like a dangerous bug to me....serious liability IMHO

I know, but the N4 doesn't support the neccessary hardware for this feature. Only the N6 and N9 does.

when I initially set it up, IT DID WORK....but then after a few hours, days (dunno for sure) it stopped. voice recognition works from google now screen, or the home page fine. something not right somewhere...
Hmm. From locked screen? Strange. Absolutely sure?

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.
Happy new year!

Major issue
I have configured the shortcut "Screen off and Hibernate" with the Google Now swipeup gesture and is working pretty well on Lollipop. Anyway after having enabled a Lockscreen security Pattern and "Smart Lock" I noticed an issue on this side that's pretty annoying.
If I shut off the screen using the Power Button, the Smart Lock is correctly working on the next Wakeup: it recognize my LG G watch or Face or Secure Place and shows no pattern check. If I use the gesture (and so, Greenify) to shut off the screen, my phone is locked no matter where I am or which device is near me (smart lock isn't working).
Could this be worked on?
Thanks
I noticed that too, indeed quite annoying. Would higly appreciate a fix.

The same happens to me in even in version 2.6.1. I detected it in Lollipop 5.0.1 and 5.1 on a non-rooted Nexus 4.
The only current solution is "Boost Mode" with Xposed.
Greenify seems to have updated this to work with Smart Lock but only if rooted. Star this issue to have hope it one day works without root: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=193125

Did you find any workaround or you are using the root approach? I have been searching far and wide for a solution since google marked the issue as WORKING AS INTENDED. Would be glad to know if a workaround exists, or do I have to use root privileges in my app?
I'm ok with the stock lock screen but is there a good one compatible with the S6's fingerprint scanner
yeah I was also looking for one accepting fingerprint unlock, but haven't found one yet
This one claims it supports fingerprints, but I haven't tested it myself.

doesn't support fingerprints yet... nonetheless, a pretty good lockscreen replacement with a beta channel. Seems like they are still working on the fingerprint stuff as the lockscreen settings make no mention of it yet.

I actually installed it last night after posting the link, to see what it's like. It does have fingerprint support, and it works really well, although it seems a little slower at unlocking than the stock lockscreen at times.
What's slightly annoying is that it doesn't support known locations so even when I'm at home I need to identify myself every time. Saying that, you have the option of using a passcode or pattern unlock too, which is much better than the "backup password" on the stock screen.
Thanks for the replies guys.
How do you get the fingerprint to work? I can't find a setting for it anywhere.

The current version already supports Fingerprint unlocking. I'm personally using it.
Hi,
I just got the new update B330 at Today (this is the official ota, not the beta version). And now sometimes the fingerprint scanner doesn't work when i want to unlock the phone. Sometimes it is working, but... Somebody else recognised this problem? Any idea how to fix it?
For all my opinion is worth, I thought the fingerprint scanner was fast before but since I have upgraded to B330 today I have not had a problem with it. I would go as far to say its possibly a little quicker.

In this case probably the problem is in my device. By the way i sent an email to the official support with my bugriports and now i just hope the best.

Hey!
my problem with the fingerprint is cux its slow now when i was in LilliPopp its was so fast but now when im in MM its slow!! anyone have the same problem?
I have it too. Do not worry. Probably because EMUI is a bit slow in response sometimes. Fingerprint is affected and also sometimes "desktop". Yes EMUI has some bugs.
I read that India got B431 that fixes some things, including fingerprint. Not as fast as for EMUI 3.1, but close enough.
Same for me. Sometime work fine and unlock device sometime didn't work. But i found that it reconize the finger because it doesn't vibrate to said finger wrong. I read somewhere that could be a problem with the sleep mode
It's a bit weird, but maybe i fixed it. So i just switched on this option inside of the developer options: Use legacy DHCP client. I just switched on and now it looks like working as well. My theory is the new DHCP client does not fully compatible with the EMUI, and making bugs in the system.
Same issue here : slow fingerprint read.

Now I disabled all animations in developer settings. Now fingerprint scan feels much faster. Maybe placebo maybe real. Try and see if helps you.
Rollback to 180 it's insane to use the fingerprint so slow
I wanna ask, where is the option to use the fingerprint scanner to be a 'back' button? I'm on B330
there is no such thing anymore
Return/Back function with fingerprint
Hi
I also have a problem with the fingerprint but it's only with the "back/return" function...
It's doesn't work and I didn't found the option to activate or unativate it :/
It was so practice.
I have the B330 Android 6.0 :laugh:

I just installed an update from tmobile something about bug fixes and security . Sorry was to busy to write down the details but hope it fixes the phantom touches..
UPDATE 2: Oh no, it actually made the phantom touches worse, now instead of just the top section where you have the camera droop the thumb coordinates would trigger buttons on that spot, but now with the update, according to the touch sensors from developer options it shows the left and right touch coordinates will trigger even more around the screen. I think it just broke this phone.
Can anyone pls confirm this. The update has made the phantom touches worse and now my phone is unusable to play games because it always triggers buttons I don't touch when I make certain movements playing the games or apps

Thanks, I tried. Even had the phone replaced. T-Mobile thinks it might be the provisioning on my account, but I don't buy it since Google messages works. But I'm stumped, I can't even send a simple meme to someone on the stock app. I just says sending forever and never goes. I've tried wifi, 5g, 4g, resetting apn settings etc... Craziest dam thing

Please enable developer options and then enable the two options, show touches and show touch data. On my V60 when I hold the phone horizontally as if to game using my left and right thumbs the touch data will show lines intersecting for each thumb press and the coordinates where the lines touch will show a circle indicating that point will trigger any onscreen button that it will touch. Can you pls try this, so I can see if I have a defective V60. Thanks

I get errors with screenshots that say can't send, then I retry and am presented with 2 options, retry with original size or send as MMS. The photos always go thru when I choose MMS. However, I have an issue with stock as well. Can't attach a gif, only sends a link, and no notification in AA unless it's a short code message. I'm getting real tired of having to switch to 3rd party to do those 2 things and then back again to see typing and delivery indicators and faster photo sharing.

You can use Google messages and get the RCS experience without switching back and forth. I would just prefer to use the stock app if it would work

The stock app is definitely much nicer then it used to be. I very much prefer it over Android messages when/if it's working. Thankfully like I said it just happened to start working for me again. Maybe it's just TMobile and google ironing out all the kinks who knows.
