So after updating to 5.1, I'm finding Trusted Places isn't working in Smart Lock. Prior to this update it worked fine, although refused to recognize my Home and Work locations, forcing me to add them manually as new addresses. But now it actually shows my Home perfectly in a new, better interface, but no amount of turning my phone off and on, rebooting, or confirming my location with Google Maps will get it to not lock itself when I turn off the screen.
Now initially it would also crash Google Play Services when I'd go into the Trusted Devices screen or tap on my Home address, so then I updated to the latest Play Services and restarted. That seemed to resolve that, but it's since resulted in still usually crashing when it tries to pull my home address. I finally disabled Home, then added it manually, like I had to do int he past. It accepted it, but unlike in the past, it still won't work. Phone locks when I power it off, despite sitting right in the epicenter of that feature.
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone else manage to resolve this?
I haven't upgraded, but trusted places stopped working for me yesterday. I think it might have something to do with google play services.
Still on 5.0.1 myself and I ended up just turning the locking off because it was screwing up so much. So not sure it's a 5.1 thing.

Trusted places not working here either. Still on 5.0.1 stock. This just started two days ago.
Trusted Places was working fine on 5.0.1. After upgrading to 5.1 I have the following happening
Trusted Places through Google Maps (Home, Work) Do not work
Trusted Places Manually added do work
Same here. Sideloaded OTA yesterday and TP fails. If you revert Play Services back to 6+ (5.1 takes it to 7+) it works fine, so a Google Play Services issue.
Also for me, I have a pin to start the phone. IT used to boot to the pin then stop there forever until you entered the pin. Now, it continues to booth "through" the pin screen and will take you to the (locked) main home screen. When you swipe up to unlock, the phone hangs and has to be hard rebooted - every time. They only way past this is to immediately enter your unlock pin when it first appears during the boot process, before the full system is up.
this happened to me as well but not from 5.1 from the Google Play Services update. And yes it seems to be more of a problem with your Google Maps places vs custom set ones. A temp fix i found was to turn it off and back on (along with trusted agents) but it doesn't stick forever.

+1 Thanks! This got it working. I turned off the previous place and added new and all good.
My trusted places seem to be working after the 5.1 upgrade, BUT it only seems to want to automatically pull my home address now. It used to allow me to use home and work. I can't seem to get work to show up unless I manually add it. I think my OCD is just bothering me about it more than anything.
5.1 on AT&T.
Both the built-in (Home, Work) and custome locations are failing for me.
Mine works better than it did on 5.01.
Update:
4 hours later and stopped working again.
Another play services update is coming out. Can't tell if it works yet. Still only gives the option for home.

I was having this same problem myself and I have finally fixed it. For me, it looks like it may be caused by street names in the smart lock address mismatching with what Google Maps has. In Google Maps my street name changed from two words to one (from River Creek to Rivercreek) and once I updated my Home location in the "My Places" section of Google Maps the smart lock worked for that location correctly. When I did all of this I was running Google Play Services 6.7.74. I just upgraded to 7.0.96 and the smart lock function has stuck (although it didn't seem to stick initially after the upgrade until after I manually went to Maps and pressed the location target).
I have no idea why my street name was changed from two words to one in Google Maps. I listed a complaint with Google. I am wondering if they somehow knew the name of my home street changed before I did. Google knows best I suppose.
Mine works, then doesn't, all without leaving my house. Borked.

I have the same issue on my Nexus 5 with 5.1.
Trusted devices and trusted faces do work.
Trusted places do not work, even adding an address manually.

Trusted places are based on Location Service objects like longitude and latitude. Not labels (names). You can pick any spot on the map. They don't work in 5.1 with Google Play Services 6.5 or 7.0 (as of 7.0.96).
Before testing make sure any Trusted Devices are off.

I have a Nexus 5 with L and app/data backup turned on. It's also rooted and running faux kernel, no other mods.
When I tried to use tap & go restore with my new N6, everything appeared to be fine, but after I hit OK on setting up Google Now, a little notification comes up saying "Couldn't restore backup."
Anyone else have this issue?
UPDATE: I flashed the stock kernel and unrooted and it's still not working ... I thought this was supposed to be easy?
I think on the old phone you need to have the Back Up my Data set to backup to the Google Servers. First time i used it, only my google account got transfer'd (setting wasn't checked on my old phone). I checked it and tried again after I unlocked it and the phone wiped and the second time it worked better. When I touched them it asked me which device I wanted to restore (I had my N6 from before and my S4e showed up this tmie as well). All my play store apps installed, some of them the data migrated others didn't.
Thanks @lordgodgeneral.
Not sure if my N5 hadn't properly synced or what, but I left the N6 on for a bit and ended up getting a system update. After the system update I did a oem unlock. After the oem unlock, the restore worked. I'm doubtful that it was the oem unlock, so either the system update fixed it or my N5 was able to properly sync/back itself up to Google servers.

Yesterday, I turned on "back up my data" and "automatic restore" under settings->Backup & reset. However, my apps still did not transfer over. How do I make sure Google Servers has my apps? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks
Tried looking up a few vids on Tap & Go, but none answered the question I have. I know it restores from an old phone, but exactly what gets restored? Is it just Google accounts that you log into on the previous phone, and all of the Google settings associated with those accounts? Or does it restore any phone settings at all? I know it can do WiFi settings, but does it do anything with deeper settings like power saving settings, stuff like that? Basically hoping it restores the Google accounts and then the phone itself is still at the default settings it has right out of the box if Tap & Go hadn't been done.
Also, does it happen to transfer pics and all that too?
Does anyone know if Tap and Go can be used if it was skipped during the initial set up? I'm having trouble figuring it out, because I skipped it out of the chute

I bumped by N5:
Restored everything. Apps, widgets, placement on home screen, WiFi passwords, etc. Didn't restore my car's BT sync, but that's about it.

I bumped a galaxy S3. Only restored apps, widgets and placement. Didn't restore any of my app information like logins or things like my text messages. Seems like a cool concept similar to iCloud, but doesn't seem like a full transfer.
I'm having a similar Tap & Go issue. Tried to move from Nexus 5 to Nexus 6 on Tmobile. Tap & Go failed the first time, but the second time it says it completed and had me sign in to my google account, but nothing transferred over to the N6.
Android 5.0.1 update eventually downloaded and installed, but still no account transfers. Maybe I'll try to reset the N6 and try it over again.
Can't find anyway to restart Tap and Go after its done the first time. Doesnt appear to be a way without resetting the device.
UPDATE:
After I reset the new Nexus 6 device, and retried Tap & Go during device setup, it worked this time. So far it looks like it transferred apps and home screen widgets and layouts. Haven't dug in to see what else it transferred yet, waiting on apps to finish installing.
Not sure why it needed a device reset and a 2nd attempt. Maybe it needed the Android 5.0.1 update that installed after the first attempt, but that doesn't make sense why that would matter. I did set my N5 screen not to timeout for 5 minutes (had it at 1 min before). So maybe the N5 locking in the middle made it fail, but again, no proof that was really the case. btw, both my devices are just bland stock android 5.0.1 .... i haven't rooted or anything.

Lucky you! I tried 1/2 dozen times, no luck.
I went back to manually logging in (no NFC T&G) then choosing the backup manually and letting it install. This went ahead and started installing apps .
The only issue was although it was backed up in settings my 2nd Nexus 6 didn't appear in the backup list, only the previous Nexus 5 that I had to restore from, this was still ok and quicker than manually installing one by one,

I tried this twice and both times it successfully downloads all the apps I had on my other device but none of the app data. Am I missing something? How did it work for you? Did it take a while to populate the apps with the right data after all the apps were downloaded?
Hasn't worked on my new 6P that I'm trying to switch from my N6. Google hasn't been able to help me yet either.
My nexus 6 won't work either when trying. I just setup the longer way. Was probably better off anyway. Used Google services to backup contacts etc and then helium to backup txt n stuff. Helium sucks and had to do a work around to get it to work but worked.

Success eventually - Software Levels
I couldn't get this to work between my old Droid Turbo and my new one. In the end I realized that the new one needed several system updates to bring it up to the same level as the old one. Once I did that, then did a factory reset on the new one, I tried again and Tap & Go worked.
My wife got her new MI5 Pro on Saturday. Since then she's been having all sorts of issues which we feel are probably related.
She installed the Google Play Launcher and gave it auto start permissions etc. She also installed Spotify and downloaded music for use offline, as well as installing the "Nine" email client which she's used for ages on her old phone. The following morning she noticed missing home icons/widgets, offline music had gone and not all of her contacts from Nine were showing in the inbuild Contact App.
We've done some digging around. Initially I turned off the scheduled cleaner in the security app, thinking this was the culprit but the following morning the above items were gone again. She let me know yesterday that she'd found a post somewhere saying to turn off the Mi backup, which she did. This morning I got a message from her saying the stuff had disappeared again and she thinks the backup has run again despite her turning it off (I'm working away so can't see the phone).
These issues, combined with the Android Pay not working (all card readers say "unsupported card type") means the first 5 days with the phone have been nothing but frustration and it's likely to end up being launched through a window.
Has anyone any ideas?

Are they being uninstalled or made invisible/hidden?
Have you tried with a different launcher at all?
The icons are simply being removed from the home screen, and the Spotify downloads disappearing.
Still no luck with android pay either, which she's annoyed about as she bought this phone as people said android pay was working.
When I get home I'll see how she's got on.

Sorry, I honestly thought I'd put that in my post. She's on global stable 7.5.2.0 (MAAMIDE)
Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk
We've found the cause of the missing icons, music etc.
In settings, additional settings, backup and reset there is an option called local backup which was running at 02:30 every day. She's just manually run the backup job and immediately all the aforementioned items disappeared.
She's now disabled the auto backup and we'll see what happens in the morning, but it looks good so far.
This, from what she's described, is different from the Mi backup that she disabled yesterday (which didn't fix the issue)
Now all we need to do is fix Android pay and she'll be happy

Good news,
Is her bootloader unlocked? As this will stop Android Pay from working I believe. Or are you saying she can get the cards on to the Android Pay app but when she tries to use it in a shop it's not working?
Bootloader is not unlocked. Running stock 7.5.2.0 global stable.
She's added the card ok, and got a letter off the bank confirming it's activated, but it doesn't work when she tries to pay.
When she used it Sunday the payment terminal said "unsupported card type". When she tried it today she said she just got two beeps from the terminal.

Just tried again and the card reader gives a double beep (instead of the long beep I get with my contactless card)

Same problem with Mi Mix2 with Google launcher and android 7.1
This problem is still present in both the Mix 2 and my wife's Mi Note 2.
Both fully up to date, both using Google launcher.
Both using Global Stable ROMs,
Both not modified, no root, basically stock, with only difference being the launcher.
For android pay, you should probably update to the latest ROM-version. If you don't see an update in the updater app, you can download the zip here: http://en.miui.com/download-299.html#443 , go to the updater app, click the 3 dots, click on 'choose update' and click on the file you just downloaded.
I currently have Nougat 7.0 running on my OnePlus 3T, the phone is rooted and now I've activated Google Assistant via build.prop tweaks. The Google Assistant works just fine on home button long press. I'm trying to enable "OK Google" hotword detection from any screen. Must be too much to ask at this phase, but gotta show off to my rivalry friend who owns an iPhone.

Has anyone gotten this successfully working? I had same problem and ended up factory resetting and now I can't even get Assistant to install.
i got it working by setting the default language to English (India), you can try by setting the default language to your region instead of default English (US).
note: it will only work as long as the screen is on or the phone is charging.
Also using Nova Launcher you can enable ok google from anywhere in settings, then it will react even when the screen is off. ?
Since Google Assistant was officially released, you can now call upon it anywhere including when the screen is off.
Even with google now I had issues with getting the hot words to work. I am in the US, but I switched from English (US) to English (XA) and it seems to work now. Though I'm not sure what region XA stands for. I'm going to leave it for a day and switch back to see if it stays working.
++edit++
Even though voice response worked, it appears it convert back to google now from google assistant. Google assistant is still gone after converting back. Hopefully it will activate again soon. So I don't recommend changing the voice region if you already have assistant.

I've been going crazy for months but it doesn't work for me.
I also tried to install google maps & services via ourplay from vivo store (ourplay creates a sandbox), in which version of map the timeline is active but does not record my movements.
ive upgeaded to Ocean by OTA
Forget the sandbox. You may be aware that it is highly unlikely that one phone has a timeline and the other doesn't and the hardware or the system is the cause.
The more probable cause is your google account or settings. Therefore, I advise you to first check if your device is GPlay certified in settings. If not, you should achieve it by adjusting your google account (on a computer) or reset the phone.
Another useful approach is checking the timeline on other phone (or tablet). You may borrow one if you don't have it. If hte timeline works, the problem lies in your phone, otherwise in the google settings.
It doesn't work for me. Device side problem as it works on other android tablet.

Did you check if you're device is google play certified? If yes, check settings and permissions. If it doesn't help, try to factory reset the phone and set everything from scratch.
I don't have the button for the verification from the play store, but only an application verification
But you do see "device is certified" under the Google Play - Settings - About?
I can't turn on location history either. It just has in Italics "Location History is off"
Can't select any toggle to turn it on.
In play store it shows my Device is certified.
History works fine on my other devices.
Live View for walking directions is also always greyed out on my Vivo for some reason.

Inspecting the issue thoroughly, I found that the location history actually doesn't work. The reason that I was mistaken is the fact that I use a dedicated car dongle in order to have Android Auto. And all time history I have has been plotted with this device. Last month I was travelling and got zero timeline.
I tried to enable it and totally failed. As it can be seen from the attached picture, my phone is not and can't be included in the location history.
I searched the web and found the probable reason. Chinese Vivo doesn't have full Google framework, only basic. Hence, it can't communicate with Google servers in full. That's why we can't make backup as well.
Actually, I don't miss the location history on the phone that much. But if someone is interested, there is an instruction to enable it here:
[FIX] [All Amazon tablets] Enable/Fix Google Location Services [MARCH 2019]
****UPDATE MARCH 7, 2019:**** If the guide below doesn't work for you, see additional instructions at the end. This seems to be a huge problem for many users...location services not working when the Google Play store is installed. I have found a...
forum.xda-developers.com
Of course, it is for a rooted device. But there is a slight chance enabling it without the root. The most important is getting the full Google service framework to the phone.
Otherwise, I guess, we are out of luck.
The non complete framework is the reason why many google features don't work:
- android auto;
- location history;
- google backup;
- "OK Google" voice activation.
Thanks for the explanations on the problem.
I tried to download the apk files.
Already the first on the list does not install due to a security exception.
I also tried to download the latest versions but I have the same error.
Any solution without Root?
Interested in solve this problem
Was about to pull the trigger on the Vivo when I saw this on Wondamobile.

I use gpay for all my card transactions - do I understand it correctly that it will not work on the pro+ and thus won't be able to use the phone for transactions?
That would be a total deal-breaker for me!
It does work, however google play itself will not update itself, so then google wallet stops working and you need to get google play from a third party website to update it. For wallet to work play services and play store need to be on same update level.
There's plenty of small google problems usually not mentioned, and then no one can guarantee that google doesn't require wallet to be a system app in future..
Google likely will go harder on this as many governments require them to make apps optional from Android and they could avoid it by just making them working as a system app forcing manufacturers to include them. It's a strategy google has clearly added to lately due to court decisions in various countries.
So right now it works, but with any google service on Chinese phones future versions full working gets less likely.
You can see on older vivo phones it often stopped working for some days to weeks too. Cannot count on it working though so far it mainly did.
I have Google Wallet (Google Pay) working fine for me once I enabled Google services.
Haven't had an issue with it (I'm in Australia).

Works for me too (Netherlands)
thanks. I'm in the UK. Perhaps they just forgot to update their page after Vivo firmware fixed the issue

It never was an issue. I guess it's just a standard text they copied.
Google pay works fine for me in the uk
Google pay works fine for me in FR
No Google Pay issues for me in Singapore ( Vivo X90 Pro + (V2227A 12GB/512GB)
No problem to Greece too..i think they put it on Wonda just to be safe if its not working on someone.
is there a way to quick access the gpay screen from the phone being off(not off but locked etc)..and does one need that to be on it to make a payment? or just keep NFC on?

Did you find a way to get a quick access when the phone is locked?
I have not been able to add my bank card to Google wallet on this phone - no issues on the old phone.
This is the answer from the bank
So - is this a UK issue or just my bank picking up on issues with the phone?

No..but I realized that if my phone is unlocked through smart unlocked(while on me) all I have to do is tap the device on the machine and it works.I don't need to be in the app...
If you want to be in the app,I think there is an off screen shortcut where you can assign the app for it. It's the volume down button

Can you add your card on other phones? It sounds more like your bank doesn't support google wallet. There are plenty who don't. Nothing to do with the phone! If you can add the card to other google wallets, then the problem is with your phone.

Yes, Starling bank supports Google Wallet - I used same card and GW on my old phone
I had similar issue.maybebsimilar. I kind of changed the google play services file ..and I think the google Play store ..I went back to this forum and saw what they were using and used them. And then my card worked .
I think people having problems should throw down all google programs including play store and services from the phone and install them from scratch because it's likely due to the broken versions on vivo appstore.
Likely trading Shenzhen already installed some broke. Stuff. It just doesn't make sense otherwise. Everyone uses the same OS and hardware should not be different either except different batches.
In general don't install anything from vivo appstore to save yourself problems. Especially not Chinese apps as they are add infected from the vivo store.
