Smart lock not working with BOB7?

After i installed BOB7 update (did a complete re-install) the smartlock function dont work at all. I can add places and bt device, but still have to use pattern. Did work before BOB7 (NL9 was it?)....
I am a bit unsure if the play services has ben updated just this week and thats the reason?! I always get 2 google play services stopped working at each boot.
Hate lollipop :crying:
I habe a similar problem. With my Nexus10 and my S5 smart-lock is not OK with GPS since Google Play Services 7.0.
Nexus 10 runs with Android 5.1 and the S5 with BOB7.
I wait for update of play services.

Same version 93(with suffix 436 and 438) on both devices.
With bt smartlock is ok with S5 in my car.
Urk! Google is sure messing with us with lollipop. Miss kitkat :crying:
I have .96 today. Still 2x google play services errors on startup and no smartlock functionality...
Smart-lock is OK again at Nexus10 and S5 without any change at my side.
Don't know why, but its good anyway.

I just loaded G900FXXU1BOA3 on my S5 - SM-G900F and was very disappointed to see only trusted devices in smartlock..... wanted to use trusted face / or trusted places. Played around by uninstalling updates for play services and then re-installing. At one stage the trusted places suddenly was available. I tried loading latest play services from apk mirror: 7.0.93 (1778921-438), now my trusted places has disappeared again, so it seems to be somehow part of the play services, that controls this feature I guess. Seems this feature is not properly working for a lot of people judging by forums etc.

I have found out that the reason i get two google play services has stopped errors is the smartlock. So this has to be a google play services bug.

I had this problem when I installed XtreStoLite ROM (BOB7) Coming from Stock (BOB3). Couldn't get Smart Lock to work from a trusted place (the way I use it). I did many things trying SmartLock to work, and I think one worked for me.
Here's what I did: When you open Trusted Places, usually there's a home address there, and it should work with that one, so I added one more address to my trusted places, this time using the GPS, so the address wasn't quite right (actually it's my neighbour's addres).
Then after a minute it worked. No more unlocking my phone with my fingerprint when I'm at home.
I still need to wait for a couple minutes after every boot for this to work. What I think has worked for me also, is open an app that uses GPS (e.g. Maps or any weather app) in my case I use 1Weather. I think by doing this, currently location is updated and that way Smart Lock can work.
By the way, I still get a Google Play Services has stopped on every boot.
Don't know if this will work for somebody else, but I hope it does :good:

Thanks, I just did this on my N4 and it worked. Google has always thought I lived a few houses down the street. :highfive:
I've noticed that when I'm inside my house the Trusted Places thinks I'm actually in the middle of the street so my actual location falls outside the circle of "Home".
Added a new location that covers my driveway and sidewalk, and now it works.
Seems like this issue is fixed in the .97 release of google play services and to add a second trusted place at the same spot. I have no more play services stopped at boot anymore either.

I have issues with inconsistent or I'd rather say "almost not working" Smart Lock too. I have OC4 deodexed/rooted and set up lockscreen with fingerprint/password/pin/pattern. Despite of trying to scan my fingertips several times with different angles and stuff it still works so-so for pointing fingers and kinda bad for one-handed use with a thumb! BUT I'd better keep device secured (may be with pin or pattern) in case of lost or stolen phone with all my banking info and things like that will be available right away with a swipe! Smart lock/trusted places isn't working for me! I tried to downgrade/upgrade maps, play services, remove/add nearby places like next 2-3 houses but nothing helped. And apparently gps connection/location detection doesn't work instantly and shows my location in a circle of 20 blocks or so! BT trusted devices and on-body detection doesn't seem to work either... Any known workaround or temp fix?

Using CyanogenMod without google. Lyft stopped working.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, running CyanogenMod.
I don't use google play or any google products on the phone. The phone has no google account associated with it. I use MicroG (microg.org) and Needle (github.com/moosd/Needle)
I use Lyft to get around a lot. This was working fine until recently. Now as soon as I open the app, I see a big warning that it won't work until I update google play services, and then nothing. I can't get past that.

Google assistant rollout

With Google officially starting the GA rollout I am curious if anyone has yet to get it? I updated to the Google Play Services Beta and latest Google apps via apkmirror.com. And NO I have NOT got GA working.
I STILL only have this (Screenshot)
I used a beta APK that was linked from Android police a couple weeks ago, but it broke the Feed part of the Google app, so I deleted it. Assistant did work.

Ya I am actually talking about the latest release. Google Assistant is suppose to be available to all devices now as long as they are on Android 6.0+.

I also updated to the Google Play Services Beta a few days ago thinking I would get the new assistant almost immediately but nothing yet here either.
The switch is server sided no APK's will get you the assistant anymore.
At least that's what I've been made to believe. We'll all have to patiently wait.
Took official nougat today and got Assistant!!!!

Nothing here and already updated to nougat
re assistant
I updated to nougat. Tried beta's too. Still no assistant!
I have unlocked the secret to getting Google Assistant and it unfortunately it requires your Google account to be activated server side. I tested it on 2 other devices including my own. As long as your Gmail account is on a phone with Marshmallow or above and you setup Google now to your account the next time you hold the home button it starts the assistant setup. The downside is if you remove that google account it does not stay unlocked to that device. So if you have family member that has it you can get it but otherwise Google will have to unlock your account.....
Cleared Google now app's cache, went through the setup and customization and let it run for a few minutes and got the assistant setup
Don't think it had to do with clearing the app cache they had a massive rollout of accounts the night before and yesterday looks like we got lucky.
Google assistant just landed on my phone about an hour ago. Google must be rolling things out slowly, but didn't have to do anything special.
It became active for me last night around 11pm.
I've had assistant on stock 6.0.1 for weeks... I didn't realize it was a big deal lol. Just checked for system updates though and Nougat is FINALLY available
With everything that Verizon WON'T allow us to have... (ie. Samsung Cloud, Samsung Pay @ Launch), we get a little giddy when something does land on our phones LOL.
And Samsung Pay is only still allowed because there isn't a "Verizon Pay" yet!
This sucks lol. I still haven't gotten it.
My wife hasn't either....
I still don't have assistant. Anybody else not get it yet?
Strangest thing happened with me.. I read that I needed to leave the Google services beta program to get assistant to work. So I did and uninstalled the beta version and updated to the current version. Almost instantly received Google Assistant. Then the strange part is it was gone after I used it once.. no clue why and can't get it back no matter what I try.

Can't copy Google account to Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 4G with S20 Ultra bought in HK

Hello, I just got a new Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 4G (purchased in the UK) but I am having trouble copying my Google account to it. My phone is a S20 Ultra 5G (purchased in Hong Kong, SM-G9880)
In the Galaxy Wearable app, After the "Copying your accounts..." screen I get a "Couldn't copy your Google accounts" error without any extra context or information.
I have tried resetting my watch, clearing app cache/data from the Galaxy Wearable app, and restarting my phone. I have not attempted a factory reset of my phone as I don't really want to do that unless strictly necessary.
I have contacted Samsung UK support and I've been told that one of the reasons this is not working might be the lack of the "Google Mobile Services" app from my phone, as it does not appear on the list of system apps:
we highly recommend reaching our designated support team in Samsung Hong Kong so that they can also fully check if you can install/download Google Mobile Service (GMS) as this is one of the requirements for you to be able to fully use your mobile phone with your Galaxy Watch4 Classic

I could not find a way to get that installed on my phone, and I am not convinced this is the culprit anyway.
Could someone help?
I had the same issue till yesterday night, Google play services had a new update yesterday so I updated and it worked flawlessly then. try to check if it has an update in the play store, note that you won't find it with "my apps", you have to go to phone settings, apps, show system apps, google play services, scroll all the way down and click on app details in store..
