Dislock

Dislock (formerly Pebble Locker) makes use of the device administrator API to control your lock screen. Enjoy using your Android without a lock screen when your Pebble watch, Android Wear, selected Bluetooth devices or WiFi networks are connected and the security of a lock screen when you walk away, causing your devices or networks to disconnect. Using one trusted device at a time is free. More than one trusted device requires an in app purchase of $2.99 USDOnce the app has been enabled as a device administrator, you can set a pin or password and have your device lock based on your preferences.Dislock does not support any lock other than pin or passwordDevice Support===========Dislock supports bluetooth devices that maintain a constant connection to your phone and show up in your list of paired devices as well as Android Wears. It does not currently support bluetooth low energy devices such as Fitbits.Dislock will not circumvent apps such as corporate email that require your device to have a pin, if you use an app that requires a pin or password on your device, Dislock will not work for you. Dislock will also not remove the pin or password on encrypted devices. Dislock does not support pattern locks.Uninstall=======To uninstall you must deactivate Dislock as a device administrator and rebootFAQ=======Help, I'm locked out, what do I do?In the event that you become locked out you can visit the Android Device Manager (https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager) and change the pin or password on your device and unlock it using your new pin or password.Additional Info===========Read more and comment at http://lukekorth.com/blog/pebble-locker/The source code is available on GitHub (https://github.com/lkorth/pebble-locker)

Latest update made it so I had to reconfigure everything. That was annoying and not called out in any way. Had to troubleshoot for about an hour before I figured out the problem. The companion pebble app needed to be downloaded and setup before the pebble could unlock the phone again. After that, it works again. Also, using more than one unlock device (e.g. pebble+wifi) now makes it ask for payment :(

It's a great app once you get it working. I use it religiously and it makes me feel really good about leaving my phone alone while it's charging in controlled environments like where I work. My suggestion is to have more "how to" information on the app, since getting it setup for the first time is a major pain without any information on the app. The devs are very quick to respond and are very helpful.

I had no problem using other apps (Tasker, AutomateIt) to disable the lock screen... But only for common places such as home and work. It's a pain to unlock each time I'm out and about. I struggled with the above apps to recognize my pebble watch to no avail. 30 seconds in setting up Dislock and I never need to unlock my phone when it's with me no matter where I am.

With the recent Lollipop update, I can sadly no longer use this app. It worked great, and I really feel bad uninstalling it. To anyone running anything below Lollipop, I recommend this app all the way, especially if you own a Pebble. Hopefully you guys can find a workaround for Lollipop. But for now, I guess I have no choice but to uninstall. You've served me well, Dislock. You've served me well.

I can't figure out any way to use this. Once my phone finally says that my Pebble is disconnected, then the screen locks. That part works. Unfortunately, my phone says the Pebble is connected for at least 10 minutes after I shut it off entirely. So the app never knows to lock the screen. However, using my Pebble as a blue tooth device rather than 'any Pebble' seems to work much better.

I assume I've run into some huge bug, as it won't let me find a trusted device, and will only allow me to lock (not unlock) from my pebble. I've sent a contact via the in-app contact button, and am willing to change my review if the developers can get me a solution. Also the lack of pattern support is disappointing.

Works, but when installed was not able to use any other pebble apps (evernote and dashboard both stopped working). Apps worked again immediately following uninstall. Any fix for this? Running Pebble app 2.1. EDIT: Installed a second time to try again. Only the app itself locks and requires a pin, not the phone.

I don't use a pin, just a swipe to lock my phone. I want to streamline the launching of apps on my phone from my watch. This app wakes my phone but I still have to swipe and wait for the app I've launched to launch, which isn't really streamlining much. I'd rather not have the clutter than that, to be honest.

Great app wich bring back Asus Zenwatch (manager) missing main feature after latest upgrade, "Unlock my phone" was gone, which is the main reasons I bought it. My phone is Asus PF500KL which I connect to the watch is still on Android 4.4.2, since I refused to update to latest v5.0 on my phone, why?, because it does missing alot of unique default features of PF500KL, which Asus still working on it. Try it out as I do, and find out why should I giving 5 Stars rating for this great "Dislock" by Luke Korth here

With configuration, it does exactly what I want (other similar apps that were supposed to, did not). Terrible shame that it can't be used on lollipop - unlock on home wifi is extremely useful.

It's fantastic when it works, but unfortunately, it usually doesn't—not with the Pebble connection, anyhow. I've tried emailing the author, but no response. Sad, because this app could save me so much hassle if it worked!

I can't thank you enough. I'd become so frustrated at not being able to get AutomateIt to consistently leave my phone unlocked when I'm at home. Took a little digging, but I finally happened upon your app... THANK GOODNESS! So far, it's doing exactly what I'd wanted: Unlocked on Home WiFi, locked when I'm out of range. (I've already upgraded so I'll also be able to have it unlocked when I'm at my Mom's place.) Thank you so very much for developing this great app!

Does just what it says. I have bluetooth hearing aids and couldnt use voice dial with phone locked. Didnt want to have phone unprotected with no lock. This fixed it. Thanks

I sure get sick of putting in my password every time I pick up my phone at home, but need the security of one when I'm out and about. After a great deal of searching, I found this app, which does exactly what I needed it to - - if I'm at home (determined by wifi connection), the app removes the password prompt. The minute I leave the house, it's back on again without giving it a second thought. My pesky annoyances are now solved automatically and with very little set up by this lovely app.

Looking for a companion with Delayed Lock. This doesn't seem to play nice, keeps the phone locked (requiring unlock) if I have a Bluetooth headset connected (auto-unlock via Delayed Lock) even when Pebble connected. Good try but no dice

Been looking for an app like this ever since Safe Areas disappeared. Thank you for such a good program. Simple and easy to use.

Works with my android wear and my pebble. Great app. But this app isn't useful if you have lollipop.

A. G. u. Nov 20, 2014     

Couldnt get app to 'register' one and only wifi network I wanted it to and then problems uninstalling. Not sure I need such an app anyway so trying to get rid.

Isa. A. Jul 2, 2015     

Works great except for a small problem where the app connects to my Pebble Time, but does not show on the connected devices bar, under the Unlocked (Automatic) bar. Not a big problem but it's a little bothering.

A. G. u. Apr 30, 2015     

I love this app. I use it with my car Bluetooth and trusted WiFi sources (don't own a pebble). Would give 5 stars except it closes by itself sometimes and has to be restarted.

Yas. M. Apr 17, 2015     

Just as the title says. I loved the app on my previous older phone, but no support for this. :(

Sam. M. May 7, 2015     

Its all great but sometimes it says its disconnected but my watch is connected to my phone and it won't lock my phone

Jef. P. Jan 25, 2015     

With app properly configured, it will not unlock the phone automatically. Requires a pin rather than a swipe to unlock the phone. This makes the phone more inconvenient to unlock. Caution-- once this app is installed you cannot uninstall it. Will not deactivate on my phone. Edit: will uninstall after reboot.

Lollypop will make this app obsolete. To "keep the faith" you might at least open the app to one Bluetooth and one WiFi device.

Set. G. Mar 19, 2015     

This is such a great app, I just forget that I have it most of the time. The only complaint that I have is that you can't use a pattern instead of a pin or password.

Dan. K. Jan 7, 2015     

It's a shame Google made Lollipop incompatible with this app, but I still highly recommend it to anyone running 4.4 or earlier. It works flawlessly.

Cha. M. Mar 5, 2015     

I've been using this app for over 6 months and have had zero problems. Well done and thank you

Short of having an RFID chip implanted in your arm, this is a great way to make using your phone do much more convenient.

Dan. B. Dec 5, 2014     

With the ability to instantly switch off screen and lock phone with the touch of a button on my pebble. I am no longer at the mercy of friends stealing my phone and performing wicked deeds. Brilliant app.

I don't like android lollipop and decided to buy a kitkat device. I lost the ability to be unlocked when my moto 360 is connected. This works perfectly for me.
