- AdmiralAsshat 12y agoThis feature is only available within Android 5.0, however, and the pool of devices running Lollipop at the moment is pretty much limited to the Nexus line.
- zarriak 12y agoAlthough it is only available on Lollipop, I find it pretty neat that these features have native support. The caveat about setting a trusted place to unlock is straight out of Tomorrow Never Dies[0]: "Be aware that location signals can be replicated or manipulated — someone with access to specialised equipment could unlock your device."

- smellf 12y agoIt looks like the Lollipop Smart Lock can unlock your phone when it's in proximity to your PC, whereas nearlock will unlock your PC when it's in proximity to your phone.
- pathikrit 12y agoNo it doesn't. You can't unlock your Mac with your Android whereas there are plenty of apps that can do that from your iPhone: http://macid.co/ http://macid.co/ http://www.knocktounlock.com/ http://www.knocktounlock.com/ http://www.fingerkeyapp.com/ http://www.fingerkeyapp.com/ http://www.appuous.com/products/mac/keycard.html http://www.appuous.com/products/mac/keycard.html
