I would very much appreciate any thoughts anyone has on tackling the following: OK, so if you have lock screen switched off, your device goes straight in, with no unlock or swipe screen whatsover. All good. If, as I do, you use "trusted devices", this theoretically bypasses the lock screen and...

Can anyone please tell me how to stop the watch from ever showing any calendar entries? I've selected "Calendar", "Calendar Storage", and also the third party app I use, "DigyCal", under "Block Apps" in the Android Wear app, yet still calendar entries pop up on my watch. (I also don't want...

Thank you very much for that. I've had play with "AutomateIt" which I currently use, and which is a simpler version of "Tasker", and in fact it offers the same screen lock/unlock feature that you discribed. I tried it, it works, however when the screen lock is unlocked, I nevertheless still have...

Unfortunately I don't believe that any automation/macro app would be able to do that, because switching on SmartLock requires a sequence of actions under Settings, including twice entering a four digit code. I've never used Tasker, so I may be wrong, but surely that's not possible even for that app?

Thanks. In which case it's a shame that enabling/disabling the lock screen isn't a single operation, but requires putting in the pin code. Otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to setup an if/then automation; "If I'm at home, then switch off lock screen; if I'm away from home, then switch on lock...

I'm only talking about when I'm at home and SmartLock is operational. If I lose my phone in my own house, I don't need my contact details on screen! At all other times the regular pin required screen works fine. I'm just trying to get to a point where, when I'm at home and SmartLock is doing...

Many thanks. I do already have that setting set to "No thanks", and indeed, when I switch on I do not have to put in my code. However, there is still always a screen (clock and emergency contact info) that has to be swiped away. It doesn't require a pin or patten, it just has to swiped away. And...

I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the...

Thanks. But I'm afraid you missed the point. I use the lock screen, and I want to continue doing so. What I want to eliminate is the swipe screen that appears under the circumstances I've described.

Does anyone know an app that will provide a widget on the phone's desktop, that shows the battery status of a paired smartwatch? It seems such an obvious thing, and yet I can't find one anywhere. Many thanks.

Does anyone know an app that will provide a widget on the phone's desktop, that shows the battery status of a the paired Urbane? It seems such an obvious thing, and yet I can't find one anywhere. Many thanks.

Does anyone know an app that will provide a desktop widget showing the battery status of a paired Androidwear Smartwatch? It seems such an obvious thing, and yet I can't find one anywhere. Many thanks.

YES! That's the one. I'm very grateful, many thanks. :)

Could somebody please remind me what it is I have to do to enable drag-and-drop N6 to PC connection over USB? I've got USB debugging switched on under Developer Options, but I know there's another tick or setting somewhere that I need to do first, and can't remember what it is! At the moment...
