Smartlock does not work when phone is locked by a third part app

[lcdsantos]

If the phone is locked by a third part app (which has to have admin rights), such as "Lock screen", "Screen Off", "Smart Screen On-Off" and so on , smartlock is not been able to keep the phone unlocked.

I would like such apps could just turn off screen, letting the phone lock been addressed by timeout (which can be setted to larger time than screen off).

Not much we can do... we're just enthusiasts...

But you can go and open your own issue with Android. A lot of people don't realize that Google does have a system where we users can report bugs/issues.
