Do know what I think I will keep using tapunlock, at least it works and does not make me jump though hoops to get it to work.
Sure it has a few bugs like the screen staying on after a call but they can be ironed out.
Literally 5 minutes after installing it I had it working and it picked up my old Mifare cards where as NFC ring unlock could not so I have a backup for unlocking the phone aswell, I really cannot be on with the grief.
If it wasn't for the good looks of the ring and knowing that it will work at some point It it would be in the return post tomorrow.
We really need a proper idiots guide for installation of this tech as it is still quite new and now not quite so easy to set up.

The NFC ring unlock is also enabled in the device administrators settings under android security.

It says enabled, now do you see why this is winding me up so much?
Every avenue I go down seems to open up that can of worms just a little more.

I have disabled my normal unlock method and installed the app as suggested, installed the the key i.e added the ring to the app and gone through all of the steps Lokki says.
when the screen is off I press the power button and all I see is the normal screen to swipe the padlock at the bottom up to unlock the screen and there is no sign of the NFC unlock screen.
I swipe the padlock up and the phone is unlocked not even the slightest sign that the unlock app is working. "id your default unlock screen displayed?" what does that mean exactly???
The phone detects the ring both public and private sides and makes the recognised noise.
I registered the ring as per the instructions given ie email and password I then had to reset my password as the app did not recognise it after resetting the app recognised the password and let me in.
This is turning into a can of worms that I really wished I had never opened why is nothing ever FXXXing simple and yes you are quite right a laymans guide would be a huge bonus were not all PC wizards perhaps John might want to look into that one SOONER rather than later.

Sorry for the rant but as you can most probably tell I am now getting close to putting this down to must have item and might just put it in the microwave to see what happens, I will most probably be bald by the end of the week.

I deleted the ring and added it again and still no joy, this is now irking me.
I was looking forward to using this ring and I am now at my wits end with it.
As I mentioned tapunlock works so why can't the app that is only available to those with the genuine rings not, seems like a real farce to me?

I have so far tried both of the links below with absolutely no joy what so ever;

tried this first https://forum.nfcring.com/topic/263/unlock-app-quick-setup#1922

tried this second https://forum.nfcring.com/topic/196/nfc-ring-unlock-app-troubleshooting-and-important-information#2000

Surely there should be a full guide somewhere? As of yet I cannot find one!
As you can see I have left a comment on that page as there is no option to remove the ring only to make it read only or disable it.

Despite following all of the guide you provide here I still cannot get this ring to unlock my phone a HTC One on KitKat, this is now starting to get very frustrating.
It is not a fault with the phone or the ring as the tapunlock app from the play store works so why does your app refuse to play ball?

Despite following all of the guide you provide here I still cannot get this ring to unlock my phone a HTC One on KitKat, this is now starting to get very frustrating as it does not give the option to remove the ring only to disable it or to make it read only.
