But what is the Smartlock?
Issue: Does your phone automatically lock when you place it on the Shapeheart magnetic mount (Magnetic Dock for bike, motorcycle, and scooter products, or the magnet on the belt or armband for running products)?
Our solution: Disable Smartlock
When you buy a phone case or cover (plastic or leather, portfolio style), they often come with a flap that primarily protects the screen from scratches, drops, or even shocks. Not everyone knows this, but it can also automatically lock your smartphone thanks to a small magnet – this is what Smartlock does.
The phone shuts off every time you close the cover over the main screen.
The smartphone locks automatically
On some newer generation phones, smartlock is activated automatically. It may happen that when you use our running armbands or our phone mounts for bikes or motorcycles, the phone screen turns off as soon as it comes in contact with our product.
In fact, the slight magnetic field from our magnets slightly affects the flap, which activates the smartlock and locks your smartphone screen, which is rather annoying...
So once the phone is placed on the mount, it detects a very low magnetic field and locks it (goodbye GPS).
We’ve prepared a quick tutorial to unlock smartlock and avoid any inconvenience during your run.
Our solution: How to unlock it?
It’s a relatively simple feature to configure.
You'll find a three-step diagram, taken with screenshots from a Samsung device, but all Android smartphones work roughly the same way.
From your smartphone, go to Settings > Lock screen > Smart Lock > On-body detection > Disable
