How do you make sure Auto-Activation works best on Android?

Auto-Activation allows your Bold Smart Lock to unlock automatically as you approach, using the Bold App on your phone. To ensure this feature works optimally, follow these steps to set it up and troubleshoot any potential issues.

Optimizing your settings

To maximize the accuracy and reliability of Auto-Activation, adjust your phone's settings as follows:

Permissions

• Bluetooth: Set to "Always On" to ensure constant connectivity.
• Location services: Enable "Allow all the time" and turn on "Use precise location."
• Nearby devices: Set permissions to "Allow."
• Permissions removal: Go back to "App Info" and ensure "Remove permissions if app is unused" is switched off.

Battery

• Battery optimization: Disable battery optimization for the Bold App to ensure it runs efficiently in the background. The default setting is "Optimized," but this should be changed to "Unrestricted."

Other tips

• Wi-Fi: Keep Wi-Fi "Always on" as it helps determine the GPS location of your phone, which is crucial for Auto-Activation.
• Bold App: Avoid terminating the app as it may cause Auto-Activation to become less responsive.
• Background killers: Refrain from using task killers or apps that clear memory aggressively, as these can interfere with the Bold App’s background functionality. Ensure "Low power mode" is not enabled as it can disable necessary background activities.
