Troubleshooting

Can't unlock by Shake, how to fix it?

If you have enabled the shake, but can't unlock it, please follow the steps below for troubleshooting.

Step 1. Check if you can use the app to unlock/lock the Ultraloq Smart Lock through Bluetooth directly. If the app can't connect to the lock by Bluetooth directly, please refer to this article for troubleshooting.

Step 2. Check if the smartphone has a shock after shaking.

If yes, please go back to Step 1 to check the connection between the lock and phone.

If no, that means the app did not activate the Shake; it may be a problem with your shake operation or the phone's settings.

Step 3. Follow the animation and the times on the app to shake your phone. Please shake from right to left all the way.

Step 4. Open the app, and it can't run in the background for more than 5 minutes. You can also try to turn off and turn on the app. When you move the App to the background, the Magic Shake function will only be valid for 5 minutes.

Step 5. Confirm if the smartphone or the other Apps have the same shake operation for the other features. For example, shake to activate your phone's screen, shake to the next music, etc. 

Step 6. Check if your smartphone has the Gyro.

 

What's the Times?

Times of Magic Shake on the app is the frequency from right to left. For example, Times is 2, you need to shake from right to left, then shake from right to left again.
