How to avoid having to unlock your Galaxy Note phone all the time?

Protecting your privacy on your device is important but it can get annoying especially if you have a very short timeout to extend your battery life.

You can alleviate this life’s little annoyance by adding trusted devices and/or locations to your lock settings e.g. when driving or at home.

To do this, go to settings:

• Select Lock Screen
• Select Smart Lock
• Add trusted location
  I only set this to my home, setting it at work is not that advisable
• Add trusted device
  e.g. I add my bluetooth headset and my car media as trusted devices

This way I do not have to unlock my phone when at home or when my device is connected to my headset and/or my car
