Is there a workaround to get smart lock to work on MI 9?
I connected my Hesh 3 Bluetooth headphones, smart lock notification pops up. Added hesh3 to trusted devices, yet the phone still locks when the headphones are connected.
Furthermore, can't find smart lock menu anywhere in settings for the life of me....
It appears that in miui roms the Google smartlock is not fully implemented. Also if you connect a device and mark it as trusted, xiaomi's smartlock only works with xiaomi devices.
Maybe in some future updates or roms it will work with other brands.

Yeah, this is really annoying, with Galaxy Note 8 I was used to have the phone unlocked when in the car... Only thing that saves this issue for me is that fingerprint sensor is under the screen so no need to take the phone out of the car holder to unlock it

I have submited feedback, but I'm not optimistic about a fix.
also have issues with notification access with nova launcher... It reverts to OFF( although showing as active in settings) after some time..
nothing against miui. I really like it, but it is way too buggy
Agreed. Both Xiaomi and their Developers are useless morons who just want to force their own thing down people's throats.
Dumb lock
They deliberately disabled that feature, it's really annoying, can't believe no one comes up with a fix via a paid app.

Like the title says. When the phone is screen off but plugged in, OK Google isn't recognized. Works fine if screen is on. In my Google / Voice settings I have turned on Say Ok Google Anytime and Trusted Voice to unlock.
It worked fine on my LG G3 previously before I came to the 3T.
Any ideas?

For me also not works
This is proving to be very annoying.
I tried the Now Launcher to see if it would fix this problem (I was going to use it anyway since autorotate seems broken with stock Launcher).
Now launcher doesn't change the situation. Does anybody have a work-around? This is the first phone/os that I have had this problem with.
Help!

When i tried, it says there is locked screen (i have fingerprinted lock screen), but when i recognized and accepted, it had no reaction. Do you tried only swiped lock screen?
Tried a bunch of things. When screen is off (but charging)I haven't found any combination of settings that work. I use a fingerprint but noticed problem before setting up the fingerprint. Also have set that my voice can be trusted to unlock; also in my car the phone is unlocked as a trusted Bluetooth device.

For me sometimes it has vibration, sometimes it says that phone are locked. But still not works "ok google" on black screen
I guess what does it means. When you press unlcok button, if there is swipe or something, it unlocks device when you say "ok google"
I have the same problem..ok Google does not work when the screen is off..bt works fine when the screen is on
I've asked this question over in the OnePlus community forum on OnePlus.net. I don't think the readership there is as savvy as here though. I've already gotten some patently wrong answers. I'm still hoping someone can suggest a fix or at least work-around.

I have that option checked and it still stops working for me if I haven't used my device for more than 5 minutes.

I also would like to use OK Google with the screen off.
This has been driving me a bit crazy. I can't imagine what is blocking it from working. Glad to hear it isn't just me experiencing it... At least I am not alone.
I can't imagine it is a technology gap on the phone... That would only apply to screen off / not charging cases. Microphone certainly can work with screen off... For example talking on phone the screen shuts off in proximity to the head. And it's not a power issue, since this use case includes charging.
Somewhere there must be a hidden toggle for some feature set the wrong way.
Anybody have skills to investigate?

you can't.
always listening isn't enabled on our phone (something about licensing with qualcomm).
I don't need always listening... I need listening while charging. Even phones from 5 years ago do this...

Thanks for the reply. What exactly isn't enabled... or better asked, at what level is it not enabled? The SnapDragon 821 has support for it. So, perhaps this will come in an update or a custom ROM. Or is there some other layer which needs to be developed that OP currently hasn't?
It's beyond shocking that a major feature ... voice response while driving ... would be crippled in a recent model phone. And, I am ignorant of what exactly needs to work. The microphone works fine when the screen is off, and I have no concerns about battery performance when plugged in and charging, so an app should be able to be told to listen to the microphone under these circumstances.
Any further info about what's missing would be greatly appreciated!
It worked for a short time for me. I could say, "ok google" with the screen off, but I'm guessing the app updated or a rom changed one little thing and now it's a pain in the ass.

Yes, the 821 has support for always listening. However, the phone company (OnePlus) has to pay the SOC company (qualcomm) in order to use always listening (more on always listening later). Is it possible for a developer to somehow enable it? Yes. As seen with the Ok Snapdragon concept with the nexus 4, we can indeed enable it. However due to legal issues, that mod was never released.
Another reason is marketing. Motorola was able to promote their Moto X Pure so much because it had their custom "Ok Google" thingiemajig. If every phone had always listening, why buy a nexus / pixel / moto?
If you want the phone to listen and respond to your voice actions while the screen is off, regardless of whether or not it's plugged in, you need always listening. Unless you're in a call, of course.
I've heard that PA and/or CM managed to make a hackaround this for other OP phones, but I cannot confirm that it actually exists as I have never looked into it.
Great explanation. Thank you

Hi all,
I've just received my Nokia 8 yesterday and I'm impressed so far however one thing is really bugging me.
Does anybody know how to turn off the haptic feedback on the fingerprint scanner when I am waking my device. I can't find the setting anywhere
There's no such one.
Ok fair enough. Thanks

It is, however, one way to turn off the fingerprint scanner vibration; set the phone in battery saving mode and it doesnt vibrate on scan anymore.
Not ideal, I know.
You can stop the vibrations.
Go to Settings -> Sound -> Advanced -> under the heading "Other sounds and vibrations" go to "Vibrate on tap" and turn that off. This will stop the haptic feedback on the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone.
Also, to stop the haptic feedback if you set your security to enter a pin number for your SIM card, go to Settings -> System -> Languages & input -> Virtual Keyboard -> Gboard -> Preferences -> and turn Vibrate on keypress off. I personally use the Swype keyboard as my main input method but because the SIM security interface pops up before that keyboard is loaded when you boot, you have to change it in the Gboard settings to see the effect.
Hope it helps

I have always had vibrate on tap turned off and the finger print scanner still vibrates when you use it.
I think it's normal, it must somehow notify if the scan went correctly or not. With the screen off, haptic feedback is the only discreet solution. Even my Nexus 5X behaved the same way and did not allow its disabling
I believe their could be away to stop the vibration if we knew the App that it is responsible for fingerprint vibration and turn vibration off in settings of this app.
for example the Nokia 8 vibrate after missed calls, and we can stop that from App notification in settings, so I'm looking to solve this issue the same way.
so any one know which app is responsible for fingerprint reader feed back & vibration ??

It works like this always, also on Pixel and Nexus. It's a normal behavior, a way to make the user understand in a discreet way that the scan was successful or not.
I don't understand why you are asking this question as if it were a bug or a lack.

Actually it is a bug, I unlock my smartphone like more than 50 times a day and maybe more, I don't need to get notified by vibration every time I unlock my smartphone.
this is an Android misbehavior.

It isn't a bug, it's the normal behavior. It works like this on any smartphone in the world, have you noticed only now and on this specific device?
It's not a notification, it's an haptic feedback: one impulse, finger recognized; two impulse, finger not recognized; nothing, something wrong, doesn't work.
The problem that you put is like saying that I block the device several times a day and don't want the excursion and the click of the physical button, IMHO.
If anything, the problem to be asked would be to make the feedback more discrete by modulating the vibration differently.
Without that feedback, how would you realize if there was an error in the scan or does the reader not work? (considers that the unlock works with screen off and it would be a waste of battery to turn it on only to notify the wrong scan).
In the end it seems to me a philosophical question and in any case should not be placed for this specific device, but for everyone, since it works so everywhere.
No, it's a android feature, not a bug. If it wouldn't work, then it would define as a bug and would be fixed.
But seriously, it would be a minor battery saving trick to be able to disable it. It's the reason why I disabled haptic feedback on typing several years ago, as it effected battery life tremendously.
Just to add to the existing consensus, it is definitely working as intended.
Or perhaps more accurately (seeing as I can't read the minds of Nokia's development team) it is working exactly the same as it does on any of the other android phones with fingerprint readers I have used recently.
Personally I find it useful as it provides feedback on if my fingerprint has been read and if it has been successful.
Because I often unlock my phone as I'm removing it from my pocket or as I'm picking it up so that it is unlocked by the time it's in front of my eyes the physical feedback is definitely appreciated.

Hello,
I don't know. But my previous Huawei P8 lite (2017) had the option to turn it off.
That's why I'm surprised because the (better) Nokia 8 doesn't have this ability.
It's just to avoid much battery loss that it would be nice to have that option (I have to unlock many times per day..)

If you want to switch off the vibration then put your phone on battery saving mode and see the magic. Have you seen? Have you seen? Have you seen?
Hi there,
I've found this easy tweak to enable double tap to wake on Huawei/Honor devices.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676
I loved this feature on my old G4, as it was not needed to pick up the phone from a desk, etc. Unfortunately, it seems Huawei does not give a f...k and adds and removes it randomly from its products lineup depending on the weather I guess.
The above instructions are really simple on a ROOTED device. Would any candid soul that already has a rooted mate 10, try to see if the feature is at least available in the system file? (super simple to do with a root explorer). My phone is not rooted, as I'd not like to void the warranty in case I return it since I'm not fully happy so far with this and other Huawei SW neglicencies.
Cheers.

I'm on B145.
They include a lot of "features" for other Huawei phones, as they seem to use the same sources when they build. Many are non-functioning though.
Face unlock with pick-up to turn on screen works fine. Or just fp reader on the back
But it still requires lifting the phone or putting your finger on the back.

Right. What a waste of such a great HW with such a poor software, lack of basic premium (?) features on a high end device.

Am sure you are aware kernel must support double tap to wake in order for this switch to work, if u guys have a kernel that supports this... It will work else no way on earth that's happening
BTW, tried a few of those 3rd party apps where I managed to wake the phone up via the IR sensor from the AOD screen. But, this only works for a minute or so, if the AOD is on for longer, IR cannot wake it up.
Looks as if the app is put in a deep state or the sensor not accessible by it once the phone enters a deeper stand by (?).
All power saving crap option disabled. Wrote the developer but no response.
You guys, since you rooted it, would you know if the issue is still present when you freeze power genius via Titanium perhaps?
Has anyone got Smart Lock working on their Mi8?
When I pair new bluetooth devices, the stock Android Smart Lock notification comes up, offering to keep my device unlocked, and I can follow it through and confirm.
But then the phone actually ignores that, and continues to ask for a pin or fingerprint, even in situations where Smart Lock should be working.
Anyone any ideas on how to fix this? I've check that Smart Lock is switched on as a Trust Agent already, not sure what else to do
Not entirely sure but i read somewhere that smart Lock only works with xiaomi products.

Yes, i've always been able to do it, from my Redmi 5 plus to my last phone, Redmi Note 9 pro..even my GF can do it on her Mi 9.
I think it's a problem with Android 11, but can't be sure unless i get feedback from other users...I've tried all google setting (including the personalisation by ticking all boxes) tried everything in MIUI to no avail...it's a brilliant feature as i used to be able to just ask the time in bed/set an alarm etc without having to wake the screen...especially useful if you can't find your phone, just say 'ok google' and you can usually hear it!
Whenever i try it on my RN 10 pro, my RN9 Pro chirps up instead acting on behalf of it's much thicker bigger brother.

I've used my headphones in the past but that was just part of it being open normally.i.e it shouldn't matter as i don't always have my headphones connected for it to work.
As i stated it can't be for security reasons as i've had this feature on previous Xiaomi phones (and my GFs phones as well) it's just the RN 10 pro...i'm wondering if it's because of Android 11?
