Disable shutdown when phone screen locked
Disable shutdown when phone screen locked
Hello,
When a phone is being stolen, the first thing a thief will try to do is to turn on flying mode or shutdown. Google play has an app called "Cerberus" that disables powering off and control panel on your phone when locked, but it asks for too many permissions for a proprietary app IMO. Does anyone know any F-Droid alternatives?
Just a note: it can still be forced off/rebooted by pressing power button even longer. Likely the thief will just do that.
So there's not much point for this.
12Plus isn't your phone's encryption at its strongest state after its been rebooted, before it's been unlocked? Guess it'll be useless unless OP has an outdated security patch, a weak passcode or if it was snatched while unlocked
10I'm just looking for the strongest security methodology. Yeah, I didn't think about this

Why do you want to prevent it? thieves could simply put it into a faraday cage.
7Need some kind of fake power-down mode baked into the OS, which locks encrypted storage and switches on an unresponsive black screen tracking mode.
7My Android 14 device don't allow shutdown or enabling flying mode when is locked.
