Smart Lock not working 90% of the time.

Currently running the latest Chroma rom with the stock kernel. The little circle that's supposed to show up around the lock icon at the bottom doesn't show up 90% of the time (http://prntscr.com/abhku3). I'm trying to unlock it with a bluetooth (not NFC) fitness band.

This isn't a problem with the band, because I tried putting Face Unlock as well, but the detection doesn't show up most of the time.

Is there any way to fix this?

I haven't had an issue with smart unlock before, I pair it with my Moto 360. I don't know if it's the kernel because I personally use the Taurus kernel and not the stock one, that might be a reason but again I don't know for sure at all. Maybe on Multirom I'll install a second Chroma and leave it on stock and see if I can get it to reproduce what you're having, I'll get back to you in about 20-30 minutes on how it goes.

-Edit- Might be a bit longer since I need to redownload the latest build. My internet can be slow at times

-Edit 2- I haven't had the issue, at least with my watch. Not too sure how much further I could help you :/

Thanks for helping out! I tried with the Quanta v10 kernel but had the same problem. Reinstalled the rom. No dice :/

This is strange

It is a bit strange. I do have one final thing to test out actually. I just remembered my girlfriend got a generic bluetooth fitness band thing for her senior year, I'll charge that up and see if that gives the same issue since I still have the multirom boot with it. It'll take probably an hour to charge it since it's just a generic one.

I'm certain it's not the band's fault cause gave unlock isn't detected either. I'll try the pure nexus and cm roms to see if it makes a difference.

Especially if the band was working fine on other roms or devices. CM 13 is my main daily driver rom and I haven't had a single issue with several bluetooth devices I own, I always will recommend it xD The fitness band is almost charged and I'll test that out here real soon

I only got the band 2 days ago and have just tested it on Chroma.

Quick question, does CM13 support Volume Key to unlock AND double tap status/nav bar to lock? My power button is screwed up and it barely registers. Also, are the latest nightlies stable or should I go with an older build, if I don't plan to update my rom in the next month?

Double tap to sleep, yes. Let me quick boot into it to make sure for the volume key. If you get Kernel Auditor and the right kernel you can have double tap to wake which is wonderful. Ok it does have the option for volume key unlock. I haven't had any issues with the nightlies, a while back I had one that would randomly freeze my touchscreen but that was early last month.

Sweet, I'll give CM a shot! I hope the smart unlock was a rom problem and not a hardware one. My phone's nearing the end of it's life, so it's more than possible.
