Question Smart Locks Stops Working - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

I have Smart Lock set to auto unlock when my watch is paired via Bluetooth. After a few hours I've noticed that it stops working and all the options under Smart Lock are missing.
If I reboot, everything works fine again for another few hours and then the same thing happens again.
Any ideas?
/Edit: Found this: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...-is-not-working-after-the-recent-update?hl=en

Can't say for sure but the problem seems to have gone away with April update from Samsung. Previous to this update I was experiencing the same thing. I would go into security settings/other/trust agents and toggle smart lock off then on again and it would work basically the rest of the day. Updated to Samsung April software and it hasn't happened yet (today).

I'm running the latest April software and funnily enough that is when the issue started for me. It was fine before that update.

It appears to be a Google issue, so hopefully it gets worked out soon. I really only pay attention to it at work when my Buds are connected, but I'm pretty sure It was only happening after March Google Services update and before April Samsung update.

Well...time to switch to Samsung Routines!

If > Bluetooth device > select your GW
Than > search (with the search function) for unlock, you'll find ”keep the phone unlocked” or something like this.

Same issue here, uninstall the update for google play service, the function will be back.
Then you can update the gms again.

Did so but issue is back again after some time...

This happens to me every so often. I found that just toggling it off and on in the "Trust agents" works.

Not possible as the Smart Lock page does not show any option to do so...

Ok so it seems mine disappears once my phone connects to android auto
God this is annoying

On my error report to Samsung (Members app) I received a reaction that
- multiple reports have been made
- Smart Lock is a Google application
- They reported the issue to Google
- Apparently it was/is a flag error in a Google server
- it should be good now after a restart.

I have the same issue.

[Q] WiFi Location doesn't work - [4.4.2][-O3][LINARO-4.8][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v3

I installed johnnyslt's LiquidSmooth ROM (Build: 1st March) on shooter.
But I noticed that WiFi location is not working at all.
(I confirmed GPS location does work:laugh
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Any idea?
I'm on the same rom and it works for me, have you tried reinstalled the rom?

Thanks for your response.
Yes. I'm sure. I've already tried to reinstalled several times.
The method of production is as follows:
- Turn on "Airplane Mode"
- Turn on WiFi (Note that mobile data connection is still disabled)
- Make sure location mode is set to "Battery Saving" (like a screenshot I attached)
- Try to launch google maps, for example
On my device, I can't confirm that WiFi location works properly.
Thanks.

For your infomation, I noticed that WiFi location of dastin's CM11, which did work before, now doesn't work
when its kernel began to be ported from MiRaGe kernel at March 19th's CM11(not Liquid Smooth) build.
So, I think there is something wrong with MiRaGe kernel related to WiFi location

Advanced Calling active?

I just made a call and my LTE didn't drop and I was able to surf the internet while on the call so I think the official OTA is about to drop and they've activated the advanced calling features.
on prerooted .509 btw
I just gave mine a try on .485 and it dropped my LTE as soon as the call began. Can anyone else confirm that it is working on the alternate lollipop?
You can see the ongoing call in the status bar as well as the active LTE

was it active on your line before with another device? Mine was, and I suppose it could be location specific. Who knows for sure, but it is definitely working for me. Simultaneous voice/data and HD calling.

No, it wasn't active on my line before but we have over 40 phones on the business account and there is no way to activate it on our side of the account management.
Coworkers with the GS5/6 iPhones have advanced calling.
I can't seem to get it working either. Hmmm, I wonder if it is a regional thing or why one person can the feature over the others.

I think unless you had it active already on a different device it won't work. I suspect they have activated it for testing prior to the lollipop update.
Again it's possible they've only activated it for testing it in limited areas.

I have a note5 with it active on my current line and it the interesting thing, is that it shows up when you go into my MyVerizon account as an active feature. Could it be a SIM card issue that only certain ones are supported?

I know it was showing as active for me on the .485 firmware last week, but wasn't working, so I don't think it is a SIM issue.

did this just start working for you or did you get it to activate. On my girlfriends druid turbo after you activate advanced calling it has a menu below where you can check video and voice do you have these options.

Still nothing on .485. I have the option for advanced calling and when I hit it, it says to restart my phone in 5 minutes, but when I restart, there is no options available and it says I have to activate it again.

Smart Lock Trusted Locations does not work

Trusted Location not working is a common problem with various devices, but so far I never encountered any issues on my S8. However, with the S9+ I cannot get it to work. Adding your current location still leaves the phone locked. I rebooted, deleted, edited and added new locations, with no success. Anyone experienced similar issues?
It was working on my S8+ but a few weeks ago became very inconsistent. S9+ is no different. I suspect its Google related.
For some reason it started working now. Did not do anything. Seems to be a sporadic service issue, like you said.
It has stopped working for me completely in my S8 running Oreo.
Just wondering if there are any new devopments on this. None of the so-called "solutions" I have found on the internet (erasing cache etc.) work. Has everybody just given up? S8 running oreo here.
To me it works sometime and sometimes it doesnt. I have tried to do it in so many differenr way but still luck. Just works when it wants to. Funny part is with my pixel 2 xl it worked 100% of the time on oreo 8.1 so it most be something withing samsung tweaks.
People have been complaining about this for quite a while now...too bad it can't just work reliably.
By chance, do you use any type of managed email service?
For example, I have a work provided Microsoft Office 365 account. Configuration of the account on the phone requires the application to have device admin privileges and one of the permissions disabled the option of Smart Lock, which infuriates me but I understand.
It's worth checking the make sure nothing that has device admin privs is blocking that feature.
I had the same problem with my S8+. Then I jumped to the Note8, and it worked perfectly (every single time, without exception).
Now, with my S9+, it's useless. It has never worked. Not once. Pretty damn ridiculous.
On Note8 with Oreo it didn't work. Now I'm on S9+ and I'm not sure because bluetooth works well. I tried to turning BT off and the phone staid unlocked. So who knows...
I did have to remove and re-add my home address in the Smart Lock app, but after doing so it does unlock using the location now.
Restarted the phone to confirm it "sticks" and it does. Of course, the first unlock after a restart is always going to want security, but after that it is working as expected.

So far so good. I've been home for a few hours and Smart Lock is working well on both my s9 and s9+. Had my s9 with me all day and no restarts.
I should add that I don't keep my phones on High Accuracy, keep them on Battery Saver. One thing I did when I reset my home address was I used the Add a Place and used the Lat. and Long the phone had me at. It was close to my address but it placed me closer to my neighbor. Don't know if this is what helped make Smart Lock stick...

Lots of activity over in the 3 XL forums. I wonder if the Q build will fix the screen flash with AOD? Also I have 4 Pixel 3s and if I go to the beta page there is no way to determine which is mine and which is someone else's. Any help with that?

Probably best to just manually flash the factory image in fastboot if you cannot tell which device is which.
If you've enabled navigation buttons, it appears that the task switching button no longer functions. Very annoying.
Is the Q beta 1 is suitable for daily usage?
Working fine so far, Installed OTA through the Beta Programm and did a factory reset.

If the above does not work to disable try this "adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode"

How are you toggling between the two? If neither one is on a call can each receive a call? Does the eSim manager menu look different?

I had assumed that the setting would always be there but greyed out if not supported by the network; but perhaps not! The phone definitely supports it as you can see.
I think this is sim dependent, based on my experience with other phones
It's very weird: Wifi calling is enabled on my SIM, works on my Samsung, but doesn't show up on my Find N.

Sorry can't help further; it does work for me in the UK on the BT (EE) network with the Find N (I have terrible network reception where I live also). Might be worth checking with your network provider to see if Wifi Calling is only enabled for certain phones on their network, and whether they can enable it for the Find N?

I was already on ColorOS 13 developer preview 2, so I suspect this has something to do with it.. The problem is, 1 - The software needed to get DP2 is no longer available on the Oppo developer site. 2 - Most importantly, if you did manage to get your hands on a copy of DP2 and your version is already above 19 this wouldn't work anyway, as the process to install DP2 only worked on versions 19 and below..
