Smart Lock>Trusted Places Stopped Working At Home

[Sajo]

Update: Trusted Location was working good last night at home, on my Turbo 2. I went to bed and plugged it in to charge overnight. When I first unlocked it this AM I saw the Trusted Location notification for "Device locked for 4 hours of inactivity" which is normal. I checked my mail and then took the dog outside. When I came back in I had another new email and when I went to read it the phone was locked, and made me enter my pattern. I opened Maps and my current location was about a 1/2 mile away from home until I refreshed Maps and my current location. Maybe Jonny is on to something.

Side question...

Sorry if this has been addressed. I know the answer for myself is no. For those having "serious" issues with Smart Lock, have you opened maps immediately after your phone has asked for you to use your fingerprint/PIN/etc. to see if your location is good in there?

Yes I have, and my location on Maps is pretty close. Within 20 feet or so.

Yes, funny that yesterday it wouldn't work for me at all despite Google maps location correct. Today it was working for me perfectly first part of day then decided to stop working about noon.

It's working now that I am at home. Very strange. Gremlins.

For what it's worth I've had the same problem on my Pixel 2. But with the grandkids around so much lately, I kinda of prefer the phone remaining locked and haven't tried to fix it. We can pretty much rule it out as just being a Samsung issue.

This isn't really a fix but it worked for me. I changed the setting under secure lock settings to not lock instantly with the power button. Maybe instantly locking effects the location somehow. I dunno. It worked for me.

It can't hurt at this point @bentrm. Mine has been working pretty good at home the past few days and it unlocks without my pattern most of the time.

Who long has this worked for you?

Just a couple days so far.

What do you have the Sleep setting set to? Does that still control locking the device if you don't have the power button set to lock?

Do you mean the automatic lock? Set to 5 seconds. Doesn't work here at home because of the smart lock location setting. I haven't left home for a few days.

Changed mine to 5 seconds this morning, and this afternoon smart lock quit letting me unlock by pressing the home button as it should.
Thanks for the tip though, it was worth trying!

It was worth a try I suppose. Anyway, mine is back to not working. Opened maps and found my location slowly moving around. The blue dot. I dunno what's going on.

IKR?
Mine's doing the same thing. I watched it this morning slowly move closer to my actual location, then jump back to where it started.
