[Q] Prevent screen locking while in desktop dock

Is there an app or hack that will prevent the Nexus One from locking the screen when place in the desktop dock (similar to what it does in the car dock)?
Thanks.

This may or may not work I don't have a desktop doc I'm just guessing but if you go to settings -> applications -> development -> and check stay awake since that is supposed to stop it from sleeping during charge and the doc charges it, it may work.

Nope, I already have that checked, and it doesn't work.
It's not the screen staying on that is the problem, it's the screen locking.
When I insert my N1 into the dock, it automatically launches the clock app. The screen stays on, and all is well. However, when I try to do something on the phone (besides stare at the clock) like click on the home icon on the clock screen, the lock screen appears.
I basically want it to work like the car dock: If my device is locked, it remains locked when I put it in the car dock. If my device is unlocked, it remains unlocked when I put it in the car dock. (The screen stays on in both cases, as it does in the desktop dock, so there is no issue there.)

Have you tried anything with Tasker?

No, actually I have never used Tasker. Can it solve an issue like this (as minuscule as it might be)?
By the way, when the phone is in the dock, and I unlock it, it stays unlocked. It only locks (after the delay I have set) when the clock is activated. For example, when first placing it in the dock, it will launch the clock, and after, say 1 min, it will lock (although I don't know that it's locked until I exit from the clock app, or remove it from the dock).

I would say Tasker is probably capable of doing this. I have Tasker set up to do a number of things when I connect to the car dock, so it can't be that much different (I don't have a desk dock)...

Locale works just as well too

I guess I'll check out both tasker and locale.
But just to be clear: I want to keep the screen set to lock (with a PIN) after 1 min. I just don't want it to do so once I place it in the desktop dock (similar to what happens by default when I place it in the car dock) .

Yes, you just set Tasker to perform (or in this case prevent) an action based on a condition (phone is in dock).

You should try Screebl, it reads your phone's sensor and decides to disable lockscreen when your phone is up, and enables lockscreen when your phone is flat on table.

Bug in Smart Lock?

This issue is troubling me, it's not too much of a hinderance but I don't understand why it's doing it. I've set a PIN on lock screen to unlock, but I've got smart lock trusted to my watch (Sony smartwatch 2). It's ok for the most part, but I'm finding that after half an hour or so of being left alone, the phone asks for the pin code. Cannot understand why? The watch isn't disconnecting or anything as far as i know.

It happens to me, not within 30 minutes, but if i leave it overnight while i sleep. I'm not sure if its a bug or a feature to deep-lock the phone after x-amount of time of not being unlocked.

Happens to me.

I've got home wifi set and car set to smartlock but even after logging on to them, the first time I use phone after log in I have to enter code, after that everything works. Also after sleeping during night, in morning have to enter code first time upon waking up. So I think it is a bug.

Same here with a Nexus 5. Smart watch and home location set as smartlock but each morning a manual unlock is required. Maybe it is designed to work that way.

bug or not
did this get resolved ?

I've noticed that smart lock automatically locks after 4 hours of non-use.

Now it even puts a pull down notification saying that too.

Smart lock not working...?

Does none of the smart lock tools actually work with this phone? The trusted places option worked perfectly on my OPO, but with this phone, I'm always asked to input my pattern or fingerprint when I'm at home. It's not an issue if I'm just turning on the phone because the fingerprint is super fast, but sometimes I like to open a notification right from the lock screen, but I can't do that if the smart lock isn't working...

I am running OOS 4.0.3 and I an confirm that Smart Lock is working.
I have set a trusted device via Bluetooth, in this particular case my Bluetooth module in my car.
Here's what happens and hopefully this is what you expect.
When I am outside of my house and walking to my car, my phone is locked and requires my fingerprint.
I turn on my car and my phone pairs with my car, which then enables the Smart Lock feature.
I then turn on my screen on my phone and I see a Lock Screen but it is slightly different. The lock symbol located at the bottom has a circle around it indicating that the phone only requires a swipe to go to my home screen. It does not require my fingerprint or pin/pattern.
No matter what you do the Lock Screen is present when Smart Lock is functioning. So far I am ok with this.
If you are looking to never see the Lock Screen when Smart Lock is functioning then I am not sure if you can do that.
There could be a way using Tasker for example IF Bluetooth is Connected to Car, set Screen Lock timeout to never and that might prevent the Lock Screen from appearing.
WE would have to test this and I am not sure if Tasker can change the Lock Screen timeout.
I hope this helps.

It seems the trusted location is very spotty for me at the moment. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't.

I've got a similar problem. The phone never unlocks when I'm at a trusted location. It unlocks when I'm connected to a trusted Bluetooth though. I've set the location using both my address and by using the Google Maps screen. Nothing works.
I'm using a OnePlus 3T with the regular operating system.

Same here. Trusted location only seems to work for a few hours after adding/resetting a location. After that, it is no longer recognized. I did see an issue brought up in the Pixel forums about this issue, but clearly it's not confined to that device. Here's a few threads about it:

Hopefully they are still looking into the issue and will release a fix as part of Android O whenever that comes to the 3/3T. Or maybe it's something that OP could look into, but I doubt we'll get that fixed in a timely manner either way...

I have the opposite problem. Phone will always unlock without prompting for fingerprint or code, regardless of being in a trusted location or not. It's pretty annoying.

Screen lock doesn't work.
Hi! My problem kinda different. My OP3T screen lock doesn't work. I tried to turn off smart lock. Changing the screen lock type, still doesn't work. Even with fingerprints. So anybody can open my phone by swiping it up. Did somebody have the same problem? Should i upload the video of it and link it?

Notifications turn on screen

I have been searching looking for way to make this work with no solution.
I have disabled AOD since it is consuming battery heavily and wanted notifications to behave as on stock android where they turn screen on. My note 8 is receiving notifications and LED turns on, but screen doesn't. I have to manually turn it on to be able to see the lockscreen notification.
Is there any way to make this work?

Facing same issue.

Having the same problem. Aod does not work anymore.

I use "Dynamic Notifications". It lights up notifications when screen is locked. There's a certain amount of customisation, including screen on time. Used it on many of my phones including Note 8.

Wait.. You want the screen to turn on for every notification?
I hate that... Some apps even ignore the settings either way.

Same here, that would drive me nuts if the screen turned on for every notification. It's bad enough the screen turns on everytime the phone is plugged in/unplugged from USB or from a wireless charger.

Shouren, you can try snoozy charger app to manage the plug/unplug screen on issue

Thanks. The rom I'm using is actually supposed to have that disabled but I don't think it works for wireless charging, only cable. I never never charge with the cable anymore. But whatever, I prefer not to install apps just to disable one minor thing.

I understand you, I also prefer wireless, but, it works with wireless too

There must be a build prop tweak or something but I can't seem to find one right now.
Maybe a PM to a nice dev and they could tell you where to look. Report for community if you figure it out

Bixby Routines - Unlock Phone

I have a Bixby routine set for Home that turns on Wi-Fi and keeps the phone unlocked. Trouble is, the phone unlock seems to stop working after a period of time (using the phone or not), and the only way to fix it is to turn off the routine and turn it back on.
Anyone else seeing this?

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question, but another question: How do you set the phone to unlocked? Cannot find "unlock phone" as an option, except at the default "in car"-routine

I just tried creating a new routine, and I see the option under the "Lock Screen" category.

Strange. The only options on my S10e for Lock screen, is Always on display, and Change lock screen shortcuts.
If I could just copy another routine, it would be easy.

Why not use smart lock and set it to stay unlocked at a location?

Smart Lock tends to rarely work for me, and there's also the fact it disables 4 hours after inactivity.
I am in a basement, but I don't think that's actually causing an issue as the moment I disable and re-enable my Home routine, it starts working as it should again immediately.

Do you have received a work profile enforced on the phone?

What's the initial routine you're using? Also, what's your normal lock screen type and unlock method?

I use a fingerprint + Pattern unlock normally. As for the routine, it's the "Home" one that I believe was an initial recommended one that I just modified.

It will show up if the if condition is set to "place"
