On Body Detection

Anyone else have this pop up in their Smart Lock settings? If it's as unreliable as Trusted Places, I don't think I'm comfortable with it.

I let it lock when I'm not home, and use Tasker to turn off the lockscreen when I am. Unlocking isn't even something I think of any more - my fingers know what to do by themselves.

It killed the trusted home settings for me, ever since they added it, I'm having to put in my pin at home

Same here, though I think my Trusted Places stopped working so good before this new thing was added. In fact, it's always been kinda hit or miss.

Mine do as well. The on body detection is perfect for me. Works like a charm.

Why can't you use your WiFi as a trusted device?

On body detection seems to work well. I didn't understand only how many seconds the time out is. It seems that sometimes the phone locks faster then others when I set it down on a table. Do you notice the same?

Because WiFi is too easy to spoof.

Can it really be easier than Bluetooth to hack?

I've been using it without any problems. It's a brand new feature so there are going to be some glitches. Remember when unlocking your device with your fingerprint? It'll get better with time.
