Golf Pad Tags don't work with OnePlus OS12

This is probably more of a warning to others than anything else. OnePlus has removed the option to disable "lock instantly with power button" from it's OS12 software. Not having that option makes the Tags useless. If anyone else has had the same issue and found a work around, I'd love to hear it. I created a support ticket and "Tech Support" was of no help at all.

The work around they will give you does not really work. You can test it at home and think it's working, but when you actually put it into practice at the course it eventually fails during the round and you're left messing with you phone half the day. Makes for an annoying round of golf. I finally gave up and just went back to entering my clubs manually. I have $99 worth of useless Tags.

Hi John. Thanks for your forum post. As indicated in our answer to your support email, if someone experiences this with this particular phone, you can ignore the "disable lock instantly with power button." error message and use the "tag" icon to enable SmartLock.

Just an FYI: I have the same problem with Galaxy s22+ and Android 12 that I recently upgraded to. I've logged a support ticket. So I think this is not isolated just to you and your phone.

That is EXACTLY what happened to me today. I played 9 holes. normally takes me about 1hr 45 mins. The round took almost 2 and a half hours because of the time I spent messing with the phone app trying to get the tags working properly.
