Google is rolling out a new smart unlock mode which will figure out weather the phone is in the hand or pocket.
the feature is called ''on-bodydetection'' it uses accelerometer to figure out your position.
it will stay unlocked if
- you're holding it in hand
-or carrying in handbag or pocket
the device will unlock automatically if its placed vertically down. picking it down requires you to manually unlock it.
this will be one of the smart unlock methods other than trusted devices - which unlocks your phone if a trusted device is connected to it
trusted face - which unlocks your phone using face detection
and new trusted feature - which unlocks your device if you are in few miles of the preset location
this was first noticed on nexus 4 running 5.0.1 and now can be seen on many devices. this seems to be a small rollout.
IF YOU SEE THIS FEATURE ON YOUR LOLLIPOP DEVICE LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR DEVICE NAME.
