So I've got a Pebble watch connected and enabled as a trusted bluetooth device but my phone keeps asking for my PIN to unlock it. Same thing happens when I'm connected to my UE Mini Boom speaker which is also enabled as a trusted device.
Any idea why this isn't working for me?
Nevermind. I figured out what the problem is and now I feel dumb. I use a widget for an app called Screen Off and Lock that turns my screen off without my having to hit the power button. The problem is that it also locks my phone even though I'm connected to my Pebble as a trusted bluetooth device. If I hit the power button to turn the screen off, it doesn't lock it and the trusted bluetooth feature works as intended.
Anyone know of a similar app that turns the screen off but does NOT lock the phone?

Just noticed that if the screen on the device gets darker or if the phone "locks" itself (press powerbutton one time), Active Sync disconnects my device. If I wake up the device again it will reconnect instant. Can I do something about this?
I think if you turn the phone face down, it will turn off the screen, but not the active connections.
(I'm not sure this is default behaviour though, I've got a few tweak utils installed and this might be why.)

I have not turn my phone face down, it's on the table with the screen upwards.
Yes, but the solution is to turn it face down while it's connected. It should then turn off the screen, but not the ASync-Connection.

Problems with power button instant lock when using "trusted devices" feature
Im having an issue with locking my phone's screen. I have the option checked to instantly lock the phone when the power button is pressed. I need it to work this way so the phone is locked as soon as press the power button and put the phone in my pocket.
Well when i enabled the "trusted devices" feature the screen no longer locks instantly when i press the power button. This is causing my phone to come on in my pocket frequently.
I dont get it. The trusted devices feature is simply supposed to bypass my pattern lock when my Pebble Watch is connected. It is not supposed to stop the phone from locking the screen at all.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I am having the opposite problem, but maybe I don't understand the settings. I have a pattern password on my device, I have a bluetooth usb in my desktop at home and I have it listed as a trusted device in my BT settings on the phone. When I hit the power button the screen locks but when I go to wake the device (sitting right at my computer the whole time) I get the pattern password screen. I thought it was supposed to bypass that if I set my PC as a trusted device. Any ideas?
I'm currently using an app called Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store:

The problem is that whenever I hit the widget to turn the screen off, it locks the device even though I have a trusted bluetooth device connected. If I just push the power button to turn the screen off, the trusted bluetooth device feature works fine and it does not prompt me for my PIN when I turn the screen on.
So I'm looking for a similar app that turns the screen off but does NOT lock it.

there is a non-root method.

Hi,
I have discovered one problem (in my phone, stock ROM 5.1) with AA: When I start one voice command... after some time without using AA (some minutes driving with the car), sometimes the AA don't responds. The mic is stalled and the voice command isn't recognized. I discovered that the problem is that the phone is "Deep Sleep" mode... Then if I touch the power button, and the Lock Screen appears, then the voice commands restores normal behaviour.
So, I ask: It's a way to maintain the LockScreen on when AA is connected? I feel the power ins't a problem as the device is connected with the USB port.
Disable screen timeout ? Or enable "Stay Awake" in developer options ?
Or just unlock the screen and leave it at the dark "android auto" screen ? For bonus points, hit Recents, then Home to switch to the usual home screen.
AA puts the phone into car mode, which is usually enough to keep the screen on.
SmartLock
Look into "SmartLock" . Mark your car radio as a trusted connection and the phone will not lock as long as it is plugged into it.

Yes, thank you! I know, but I don't like to do this at all! Why? I don't like to "auto unlock" my phone... this is completly unsecure. I have a secure PIN and I like to use it all the time. So the problem, isn't the "lock" of the device, the problem is that it can enter in "deep sleep" or similar state when AA is running. I like to forbird this without unlock the phone.
Some other idea?
I'm having a problem, when the screen sleeps the phone does not lock. I can turn it on by pressing the power key, and the phone will go straight into the home screen after swiping the lockscreen..it does not asks for the pin (which I have setup) and there is no need for fingerprint sensor to read my finger....ive tried all the setting...I must be doing something wrong (some times it works...but rarely).....the phone is all stock UK.
Do you have any Bluetooth device setup with smart unlock? My Garmin watch and some earphones are set for me so I can unlock without finger or code as long as devices are in range of Bluetooth and connected
