I still have some more testing to do, but for the life of me I can't get smart lock to work, Bluetooth or places ... Anyone else?
 
Bluetooth works for me in my car. My home location does not work (but works for my wife) and my work location works occasionally. The bluetooth one is the only reliable one for me. This seems to be a common complaint though. We are not alone.
 
I can get my home location to work but my work location is sporadic. The bluetooth in my car works fine.
 
My trusted places will not work, either at home or at work. However, when paired with my Moto360, it works as it should.
 
Cant get mine to work at home. haven't tested it anywhere else. hopefully a update comes soon, bc it seems like a very useful feature.
 
My Bluetooth works with all od my cars and my TV's no problem. Better than my S5 It also connects to the other phones in the house.
 
Trusted places... Home works sometimes, Work works 90% of the time. Bluetooth in car (Ford) works great.
 
Smart Lock shows the icon on my unlock screen, but after swiping away from the icon, nothing. None of the smart lock options have been functioning for me: bluetooth devices, location, or on-body. The smart unlock connection to my Chromebook is working however. I have a Note 3 with 5.0.

I forgot about that. Just did it for my chromebook.

i have tried to get the trusted bluetooth device unlock (car) working but to no avail. my phone auto locks after the usual scren timeout selection and it actually becomes a 2 step lock wherein i have to first swipe the screen and then use the fingerprint scanner!! can somebody please tell me what am i doing wrong here?
 
It was hit or miss for me before but it seems to be working better post 5.1.1

I just noticed this recently. The Bluetooth trusted devices works great in my car, no problems there. (I still hate how I have to click the home button, then do the crappy water ripple swipe that only works half the time if you do it really slowly).

Trusted locations was spotty at home the first day and didn't work at all at work. Now it does this thing where it acts like I don't have to fingerprint unlock and I swipe, then it requires me to use the fingerprint afterwards. Drove me nuts and turned trusted places off.
