Is there a way I can automatically disable security (aside from the swipe) when it connects to my home network? I have no need for it to be locked at home and it would be annoying to disable every single time. Is there a way to only use the security when it's on the 4g network?
Anyone?
Look for an app on Play Store called Tasker. You can set it up that when connected to your Wifi it will do remove your screen lock etc

I have the Same need.
I tried using AutomateIt to do this but it doesn't have the option to manipulate the lock screen.
Ill check tasker.
There's some vids on here that show you how to use Tasker to achieve this. Have a look at the XDA TV link above, I'm sure your search/navigation-fu is strong
I thought I heard this would be a stock feature, and now that I've searched around a bit here I see I haven't gone crazy and it was initially announced. Sounds like some carriers may have it, but maybe no one does at all.
If you want something that doesn't have the overhead of tasker consider trying No Lock off the market. It has a 1x widget that looks like a padlock and you touch it to either enable the lockscreen or disable it. I've been using it for years and it has worked perfectly on one device after another. This has the benefit of allowing you to disable or enable the lock screen situationally at any time and place in the simplest and quickest possible manner.

No Lock doesn't work on my S4 unfortunately.
Good app if it worked.
Weird, works same as always on mine which is the international 9500. Worked on the stock rom, a couple other stock roms I tried, all the custom roms. I do get it though, I've also been using winamp for quite a while but this S4 gets a lag issue with the 4x1 widget that I never had before. Essentially whatever screen I place it on gets a lag going to that screen from either direction while the rest of the screens are smooth. Does it with every rom and all the launchers I use. Go figure. Using the stock music for now.

Do you have any security set for your lock screen?
Or just swipe to unlock?

Yes it was said to be included just like other stuff samsung left out. S4 = big mess
Swyped from another galaxy
Spend the time and money on tasker, you'll be glad you did. I have it set that when I'm near cell towers near home, it'll turn on Wi-Fi, then connect to my home network, then disable keyguard, then lower volume or put on vibrate, it's awesome.

i know this is old but i thought why not add what i use someone might wanna know. you need ROOT and XPOSED for this one, its NO LOCK HOME a module in xposed installer. works with bluetooth too
So if anybody else like me is coming from the G2 and 3 you might be missing smart screen.. That little feature that detects your face while looking at the screen to keep the screen awake instead of fading out. I personally felt it a real convenience. I would like to get it back, I pulled the app from my G3 titled wise screen. I installed it like a normal app with success. I used activity launcher to try and launch it, but it fc's. So I'm guessing we'll need root to get it functional. When we do get root is there anyone else interested in joining me on this quest? I would really like to get this one up and running. I can't for the life of me understand why they left it off. I feel like I'm back on ics or jb with out it..
Try kinScreen from the playstore
It works great

I have to agree with you. I am so surprised they took it out. I spent 30 min on the phone trying to find it. I tried the app the other post recommended, not as good, it will never turn the phone off in the car when the phone is mounted and the car is moving.
I, too, was looking for the smartscreen settings. Was surprised that LG decided to remove it. Will try the above mentioned kinscreen later
Anyone know if Samsung removed it from the S6? They started the feature and it was one of the more useful features they added to Touchwiz. I was glad when LG copied it. Most of the other stuff was junk, but that was actually useful.
That sucks. I wonder if they removed smart screen to keep the screen from running down the battery.

You can try Smart Screen from the play store

And iseeyou

What's really weird is that the Smart Screen app is installed on the phone. Go to app manager, and check out the "All" list and there's Smart Screen. There's just no way to activate it.

I don't have the app at all on mine.. 811.
I don't show it listed on my sprint version.

Here it is on the Verizon variant. Wow... this is the first time the Verizon version actually has something the others don't!
It's on the phone but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any place to enable it and creating an activity to open the app causes it to crash.
Never really worked for me on G2/3.
I miss this and have found an app on the play store that mimics it. It worked well for me on the G3.
Verizon has this. I disabled it though. It worked great on my G2 for the time I tested it. For me, I am typically using my phone while in the middle of doing something else. So it is a waste.

Not on mine H810. I am wondering if maybe they built something into the package? As since I have had mine, and if I'm using it or just looking at it the screen doesn't shut off.

On Verizon, you can see the service - it is not an app - BUT there are no Settings I can find or know of that actually allow you to activate it or interact with it in anyway. So it is "there" but seems to do nothing and cannot be setup.
EDIT: I used the hidden Verizon menu and found this "smart screen" but when you click on it, it forecloses and crashes. So, it is as if that first part of the services is there BUT the actual functionality is not as using the hidden Verizon menu I cannot activate it and access settings or turn it on to work - and I would think from that hidden menu, we should.

no, from what i read the scheduler is an option if you only want it on between certain hours, it should
work simply by turning it on. it says it's enabled in the pull down notification menu and there is a ∅
in the upper left corner but it still rings ?
Edit : i turned on the scheduler and it still rings. . . . . . .WTF ?
i'm beginning to think this Note 7 is a POS, so far i'm having bluetooth issues, do not disturb doesn't work,
and smart switch gives an error when trying to back up files. my Note 4 worked(s) perfectly and had zero
issues !
Do Not Disturb works for me. Are you sure that you didn't setup an "exception" to allow your phone to still ring? I just tried it and no phone call came through. The only exception I have setup is for an Alarm to sound.
Once you turn on DND, then tap on the "Do Not Disturb" wording. In this section is where you can setup exceptions or clear them out if something is setup that you did not want. Specifically check out the "Allow exceptions" section.

You might want to go one-by-one and reinstate items that you disabled with PDP and see if DND works again.

That actually sounds like a good idea. You've had too many issues and even though I've only had this Note 7 for several days, I haven't had any problems. Samsclub has good customer service, don't they? This really is a nice phone!
Dang sorry! Sounds like a bad phone... I don't know what else could cause the issue.
a hard reset fixed the problem
apparently using Smart Switch to migrate all my apps, pics,
contacts, etc. from my Note 4 created some problems.

Ive googled the hell out of LG G6 System UI Tuner, and searched all of the LG Specific forums on XDA, and came up with nothing.
Ive read that its possible to enable it on EMUI Devices, but havent found a way to enable it on the LG G6. Is this something we will have to wait until root/bootloader unlock is fully achieved, or something we can enable with ADB commands?
The main reason Id want access to the Tuner, is to disable these damned Peek/Heads Up notifications.
If the G6 is anything like the V20, LG has just removed the content of the activity altogether, which means short of recreating it in Smali, it's not going to work.
If you want, you can give my replica a shot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-systemui-tuner-t3588675
You can edit what apps can show notifications by going to Settings>Apps and then edit each apps permissions and notifications
Sure can, but what a ballache
Is it possible through Nova launcher activities? I can access it on my htc m9 through that. I don't have a g6 yet, but looking to acquire one soon....

Works like a charm, I think. I get my notifications, without a stupid annoying ass popup!!
Cant actually change the notification level of individual apps though. But everything is on the level I wanted, I think its 2, where it allows all alerts, but doesnt allow peek or full screen notification, which is what I HATE!

If you reboot, the notification level control should work. You need to tap the "A" icon to turn it off auto mode.

Not OP, but I just tried your app, and it worked exactly as expected after granting the permissions via ADB. Finally got the clutter (BT, NFC, Alarm) hidden from my status bar. The only thing I noticed was that after reboot, the Bluetooth toggle reset to on, but the icon was still hidden (reseting blacklist restored it). I didn't try playing with the other options.

I should be uploading a build within the next hour that'll fix your problem. The method I was using was ignoring the first item in the blacklist string (ie the first switch you used).
I really can't understand why companies like LG find it necessary to remove these things...I mean, it's not like it's a feature that can confuse some people (which is the only good reason I've heard for this type of thing) cuz this is pretty hidden to begin with.

I can't figure it out either. I decompiled the V20 System UI and saw that they'd basically just removed all the code from the Tuner activity, like a second thought.
Nvm i got it to work. Just cant get rid of that battery icon it seems,. darn it
The app helped me as well, though I couldn't get it to hide the WiFi Calling indicator. Also, I'd love for a way to get a battery icon with the numbers inside the battery...wtf my first ever android phone from 2011 had that as an option, the heck LG?
No, I'm not talking about Smart Lock, that doesn't have the option to stay unlocked while connected to a home WiFi that you know is secure. There's a location based one but apparently it isn't always working for me as sometimes I still need to use irises or PIN to unlock my phone at home. Very annoying.
Is there a good Galaxy S8 + compatible app for keeping my phone unlocked when connected to my home WiFi? Thanks!

Delayed Lock is not compatible with my AT&T Samsung galaxy s8+

Once installed a d setup look at Settings -> Lock Convience
Hey thanks for the reply, do I have to have the whole phone locked by App-lock so that it'll automatically unlock? I currently use my irises to unlock my phone.
Smart lock seems to work perfectly with a Bluetooth device. My Gear 2 watch is on me all the time, so I never see my lock screen unless I reboot the phone.
Use the integrated Smart Lock from google, you will find it under settings, lock screen and security.

Tasker does have a learning curve, however there are plenty of scripts & profiles online to paste in and/or modify. Once it's set up, you can forget about it. I use one to match a google calendar and mute according to a class schedule.

You obviously didn't read my post but thanks anyway. If you look, it only has a location feature, it doesn't specifically have a feature to keep unlocked while connected to a trusted WiFi connection. I'm looking for that feature because the location one doesn't always work. Location is on, settings for it on high, and I'm still having to put in my passcode/use the iris scanner. Not sure why it's not working as intended. I'll post screenshots if I have to though.
