Found a solution over at MIUI-Forum:
* deactivate smart-lock at trusted agents
* restart device
* reactivate smart-lock at trusted agents
Worked for me, give it a try!
It worked! Thanks for sharing.
With this and the battery drain as a result of the fingerprint scanner, MI A2 is starting to feel like a bad choice. Hope Pie update brings some good news.

Same issue here. The face recognition worked perfectly for about 1 week and now the "Smart Lock" feature isn't working (doesn't unlock the screen, the settings page is white, and if I do the "untick from trusted agent" workaround, it only works until the next reboot).
Any way we can push Google/Xiaomi to fix it? The only reason I needed this "Smart Lock" from the beginning was the lack of working finger print reader (which I honestly can't understand how they release a device with such a huge issue).
Same problem here
Same! Tried rebooting and it worked, but I have to keep rebooting every day so it works! It is annoying!!!!

Same here, enabled smart lock as a temporary solution to the FP bug, but today I wanted to experiment more with the FP and after disabling face unlock I'm stuck with the white screen... This phone is a never-ending source of bugs

Same, i tried face unlock to go around finger print but it doesnt work either. This phone is the worst purchase i have ever done in some time. It's like a feature phone of 2010. Android one is already bare bones the the little remaining features are crippled and bugged

I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password under the security menu - you will see in the screenshot that it "deactivate" option is greyed out.
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using ICS Version 4.0.3.

Nope its not a custom ROM. I'm using the official update from Samsung.
setting - security - screen lock - select None
Edit : sorry just now seen screenshot, its not available for you.
are using any password storage appl n deleted it?
I think wiping can solve this, but not advisable on ICS.
have you tried changing the option ? Like selecting Pin Number, Then see if 'None' becomes selectable ?
Sure is strange

Hi,
If you go to the samsungdive.com website and register your device, you will be able to reset any activation priorly set with the remote 'unlock screen' feature.

Thanks for all the replies. Was able to finally reset the "unlock screen" by doing it via the samsungdrive website. Now its back to its default setting which is "swype". Thanks all!

Same happened to me, not sure whether you've had solved yours.
Anyway, go to Setting<Security<Clear credentials
i know this is an old post, but i faced somewhat of a similar problem. couldnt select any option but pin and password, everything else was greyed out.
go to settings---->security---->clear credentials (at the very bottom)
its caused by some certificate which doesnt let u remove lockscreen. hope it helps.
Hi guys, so I've just updated to Oreo, and I found out that I can't use any biometrics anywhere unless I choose a "secure" screen lock! Is there a workaround for this? I've never used neither iris, nor face recognition nor fingerprint on my phone but always on apps. I can't do this anymore, the thing that bothers me the most is that I switched from Chrome to samsung internet to use samsung pass which of course now doesn't work unless I change my lock settings
Yes I'd like to know this. But I'm afraid the answer is no. Oreo is not a good step for Android in my opinion. There are lots of things no longer implimented or have been made clumsy and complicated.

Scroll down to more and scroll down to Reliable agents. Disable Google smart lock and restart phone. Enable Google smart lock and you will see smart lock options

This seems to be a known bug. It will most probably happen again, I updated the Google Play Services to the latest beta and now it's working for two straight days in a row, before, it would stop and go white every one to two days.
anyone got it working?
I've found the setting.
You'll need a launcher such as Nova or use Tasker to send the intent. If using Nova Launcher simply add an Activities widget and select MirrorShare from the activities list. This will create a shortcut on your desktop.
If you want to launch with Tasker send an intent with the following:
ACTION: android.intent.action.VIEW
PACKAGE: com.huawei.android.mirrorshare
CLASS: com.huawei.android.airsharing.player.DeviceListActivity
If anyone would rather just have an apk to do this hit thanks and leave a comment, I'll compile my task into an app and post it here. Cheers!
[EDIT]
:facepalm:
MirrorShare is in the regular settings menu. Doesn't want to connect for me though it could be my TV.
I was asking about smartlock. Mirrorshare is working in my case with no problems

Also mine seems to be limited to Bluetooth conditions only, you may need Bluetooth turned on and paired with something to activate it. If anyone has the old area based Smart Unlock from nougat working I'd love to know. I've built my own version of locale based Smart Unlock in Tasker and it works great. I can dig out my tutorial if you're interested in going down that rabbit hole. I have downloadable links to the tasks/profiles so all the hard work is done. But it does require Tasker and either a little knowledge or willingness to learn.
That would be perfect
Google Smart Lock was enabled in one of the spring/summer updates. (B128 for C432)

Here's the link. I've got a few projects in that thread and the smart unlock is the one linked. Simple download the project file and import it into Tasker. It works better than regular Smart Unlock imo just make sure to
replace the placeholder with your SSID. If you have any questions please post to that thread and I'll answer promptly!

Maybe it was, but I have 152 update, and smartlock is not working like it wasn't before, even after 2 factory resets. It's just not working.

Hm, looks like you're correct. Huawei is odd...
experienced the same issue,after a few days from when I started using the mobile phone, and the only way to get rid of it was to enter in trusted agents, disable Smart Lock, reboot the device, enter in Trusted agents and turn Smart Lock On again. The Smart Lock issue is reported on official google Forum since more than a year on different models (Search for "SOLVED: Smart Lock options missing " on Google Help Forum). As only TEMPORARY solution is reported the trick on Trusted Agents I reported. As I mention it is indicated as temporary solution, since many users experienced this problem again after some time. It is unknown whether someone of the Android Dev Team is working on a fix, or ever heard about it.
Had my phone for just over 90 days and the home button crapped out. It just suddenly stopped working. At first it disappeared in the settings menu and if I searched it would show options but they were all locked out. Did a hard reset and now it's as if it doesn't exists. Of course it's c605 and I'm in Canada bought from amazon hope the warranty checks out.

What do you see when you go to Settings - System - System Navigation? Check Navigation Bar settings.
Make sure it's just not hidden, try swiping up from the bottom of your phone. Or you could enable the Navigation Dock.

I can still use it but damn I was used to gestures and well just lame. When I search in settings it's no longer there.

Oh, I thought you meant the Nav bar, but it seems your whole fingerprint reader is gone?
It's weird though. If you could use gestures on it... That's usually only available to front mounted fingerprint readers.
This is the prop that's supposed to enable it: ro.config.hw_triple_finger=true
I could get it working on previous builds, but it's not working anymore. edit: I lied, that was 3 finger screenshot.
See if you can reinstall your current build using eRecovery
Edit: it seems I assumed you had a Mate 10 Pro which has a rear fp reader, but you have a Mate 10 according to your post history. If the FP reader/home button is broken you should get it rrplaced

Yup, definitively ask for a replacement and contact Huawei customer service about the issue. Give a try to backup and factory reset in order to check it's not a software issue.
You could also use Gesture Control, free version has no nagging ads and should be enough, but without fp reader, I'd be lost.
Because of being in Canada and the device not being sold in Canada they were of no help. But on a brighter note I bought the device from Amazon and they have agreed to allow me to return the device.
I will say if anyone is every looking to buy a device from jpmobiles.com DON'T!! At the time of my purchase it did not state no warranty included. Sometime after my purchase the description was updated and they just gave me the run around even tho I had many screenshots to disprove them. The best thing out of this is I'm about to go get the P20 Pro. :good:

sounds like a permisson issue. if you can't fix it yourself, your best bet is to contact support and raise the concern with them.
