Does anyone know of a custom rom that addresses this issue? I also posted this in the google bug thread. I'm guessing not, but doesn't hurt to ask. I SOO want to be able to use my ring... :(

@jarmer I can't say officially what the response from Google is as the response is not coming from Google's PR team or some such and I don't want to break my relationship or disrespect anyone..

Basically Google's engineers need consistent steps to replicate the bug for them to elevate the priority of the issue. So let's try help them get that so we can get this sorted!

That's a tough one, although it happens regularly. It doesn't happen "every single time"

In that post there are error logs posted, exact steps duplicated, and even a video posted by a user showing exactly what's happening. I'm not sure how much more detailed we can even get. This just seems to be completely ignored by google. There are lots of "hey google, what's up?" with no response.

@Nephiel hmmm that's awesome! Thanks very much for posting. I do have root, but, I really don't want to disrupt the normal battery features of Marshmallow, so I will hold off for now and just hope for the best with an official patch.

@johnyma22 - any response from your contact in google? The google code bug post is still listed as priority "small" and still doesn't have any kind of response from google. I kind of feel like we will be here a year from now still posting "hey any update?" and still unable to use the ring.

Also, lol @ the title of this thread. "perfect" is not normally a word I use for "completely broken feature"

I too have this problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Which inevitably makes me just not even try, and just type my 4 digit pin in.

So... since the entire reason I bought this ring was to unlock my phone, I'm extremely frustrated by this. I funded a kickstarter, waited, was so excited! and then... bam immediate disappointment.

Google has not responded to that bug thread, and it's classified priority "small" ... So I have little faith it will be addressed soon. I'm not upset at the NFCRing folks, I really like the ring, it looks good, feels good, etc...

I wore my ring for one day. Now it lives in a drawer.
