WearLock for Android
I've bee using this app for some time now, and find it very convenient. It can annoy you at times when you get far enough away from your watch for some reason, and it tries to lock the phone on you. But I don't see a way around that really. It's just doing what its supposed to.
Whenever it unlocks my phone due to it detecting my wear's movement, it turns on my screen in an unlocked state (home screen) on my Note 3. This is really annoying since it's a huge battery drain, even though the phone has a very large battery.
Bug causes phone to unlock at random.
This app worked as described, but my moto 360 went from lasting about 14 hours to lasting about 5...had to uninstall.
It is a great app but I would like to be able to lock the phone from my smartwatch.
I seldom write reviews on apps, but this one is actually really good, it works well, it does what it's supposed to. The developer is actually really understanding and when i sent him an email with requests/criticisms, he took them into consideration. Worth it!
Like this a lot, gives us wear unlocking before Google managed to do it. However, had to disable it on the L preview due to getting locked out of my device repeatedly. Seems to be due to notifications triggered while the watch is disconnected. Oh well... Thanks for the great app!
After installing my S4 screen keeps waking up off and on causing unwanted functions to happen because my phone is in my pocket. I'll feel my phone getting warm and when I pul it out my camera screen is on (and sometimes black photos taken), or my alarm clock settings, or another app. I have set out my phone to observe its behavior and sure enough, the screen will come on for a while (long enough for accidental touching of the screen) and then turn off. When it does this it kills my battery life.
Great app thank you. Would love to be able to set the delay of when it locks.
Two issues. 1. Screen wakes up on its own, even though there is no notification or any activity. 2. I get a message that "watch is taken off" or something similar while the watch is on my wrist. It still bypasses the lock screen but it's annoying.
Really needs some work. I always find myself with phone locked even tho I'm wearing it
Only displays a full-sized keyboard during setup. But fear not! If you set a 4-digit PIN the keyboard in the lock screen will turn into a numeric keypad, as I was told by the dev.
Works perfect
I know Android L is suppose to come with a feature similar but having it before L drops good job! I have ideas for improvements and suggestions to make it better for example don't lock when I'm home, and I'm sure you know it's very delayed. I'll take my watch off and I'll still be able to get in for about 2 mins before it realizes my watch isn't on me anymore or I'm in airplane mode.
This will not unlock encrypted phones yet. Please update.
But I wonder it you always use you Android Wear device to unlock the phone can you end out forgetting the password? I tested it by putting my Gear Live into Airplane mode, locks the Note 3. Now when I came out of Airplane mode on the watch it did not automatically unlock the Note 3; Any idea why? Ran the app from the watch and it unlocked the device. Like it, love it actually.
Great app and concept but would be perfect if could use fingerprint sensor on galaxy s5 instead of alphanumeric password.
So far, so good
but today's new version brings force close...I tried uninstall/install but it happens sometime...hope you fix it soon...
I'd suggest adding an optional 'delayed lock' for when you aren't wearing the watch.
Now my phone only locks when I'm not around. Awesome!!
Took this off my phone after a couple of days. Left the phone vunrable as it takes off the security, and neither effectively locks or unlocks the phone. Terrible
