I managed to find some supposedly things to do to mitigate the problem, but they did nothing for me. For that matter, considering the obscurity of those postings, that they did not help me was no surprise. So far, the only thing that has surprised me is why, after so many years of always...

Locked in perhaps less than 30 minutes, eighteen minutes after my previous post here.

Extended Lock says the location is from Google Maps. Phone Location is on. Is there something I need to do to improve the location of our house using GPS? I like to claim that we live at 7000', which is only very small discrepancy as the house floor is two small steps lower than that setting...

Yes, Extend Unlock is enabled, Until recently, as far as I know, it always worked. I have to state it that way, as there have surely been times when I have not looked at the phone for over four hours. (Please don't reveal that secret.) I believe the setting on my phone is GPS; I will check...

In fact, while four hours, even in the US, are 240 minutes, my phone seems to use a different time scale, often locking after, say, 60 minutes. That oddity takes place when I have been in the house for time spans much longer than one hour, the house being a safe place in the lock settings...

Please see my entries following my original reply to you, which was quite incorrect.

Do Not Ask. If you do ask, I will tell you that I do not know. After posting my previous message, I tried again to get the app to find my Dropbox files, which failed. I tried again, and on my second or third attempt, I got a notification that I had an email with a security code. I quickly...

I am going to quit, as I just learned something, and that is that Dropbox is in the cloud. I had no idea of that, given that my Dropbox files seem to be on my computer! It does, however, sort of solving what I have long considered to be odd behavior of those files, that they are not where they...

Not by definition, it stores passwords in a computer file. I did a quick search about also saving the file elsewhere; that can be done as a backup.

I cannot install the app, and I don't know why. Before my phone was sent for repair, I had the app working, using my KeePass data file on my computer to provide its passwords.. I have no idea how I did that, such as, did I have the app already installed, and then started using Dropbox on my...

The answer has been found; Yesterday, I sort of stumbled across a text file on the phone that among other items covered Extended Unlock. At least with Android 14, that feature turns off after four hours. In playing around, I found a few things that will turn it off as well; the one I remember...

Several times as far as I know, along with too many on-line searches, all to no avail. The only thing I checked this morning was the extended unlock settings when the home setting was not working, both of which were as I set them, and doubt that doing that turned them back on, but if so, I...

In a sense, I don't really know: I was standing still when the phone fell and broke the glass, and what made it want to fall, that I do not know. That was the first time I had ever had to send the phone to the Verizon-associated repair shop. I don't even know how many phones I have owned: Pixel...

Pixel 7 Pro, which has been giving me problems since restoring it. Yesterday, I set Extended Unlock for both at home and while carrying the phone. Today, Extended Unlock does not work, even after restarting the phone. Other than using, say, Jaws of Life, what do I need to do to fix this? Just...
