Yeah, We need this feature asap in the upcoming updates! It is a security concern for the users. A simple setting can be very useful for retrieving your mobile during theft.

Before switching off, i feel the UI should ask for the password or pattern. This would help prevent theft if someone gets their phone stolen.

When the phone is locked there should not give option to turn off the phone. This as to be developed.

AAS_1981 it will only ask password for switching off and not for restarting the phone. because if someone rob your phone and if he switch off the phone it can’t be traced by phone or IMEI number (if the SIM card is removed ,at last it can also be traced by IMEI number).

So to prevent the person who have stolen your phone from Switching it off ,this feature will help where the person can’t turn it off.

As of screen unresponsive/freezing at lockscreen,there is no worry.becouse the system will not ask password for manual restarting or 3 button force restarting, because it’s simple, if someone switch off’s the phone there is no way to track the phone {so…password to switch off the phone will help} regarding of restarting the phone it will not ask the password because the phone off’s for some seconds and switch on’s by which the phone can be traced,it can be traced by all the available connection. If the phone only shutdowns how can it be traced….it’s simple

      VishwanathS_ghante ok, I did not want to go there, but…

      You guys know that a password to prevent phone shutdown in case it’s stolen it’s not a failsafe, right?

      However steals the phone just has to wrap it in tin foil until the battery drains.

      It does not prevent anything.

          AAS_1981 its like ,if there is only 1% chance in 100% to solve a problem and 99% chance is that you can’t solve the problem then also you will try you best to do solve.

          If someone is dieing and there is only 1% chance, do you will tell the doctor to let it be or you will say try your best even if there only 1% chance.

          Like that only ,if we are getting some safety precaution less or small why not ,it is better get less or small then nothing….

              VishwanathS_ghante that’s my point, because it’s easy to isolate a mobile device from communication, having a password, for me, it’s 0% secure.

              But hey, no issue with nothing putting the shutdown password protected, as long as I can opt out of it

                Security -password required to power off features. Nothing please provide this features like other company do . because of theft issue this features is best for security.

                Network - nothing phone 2a network shifting automatically 5g to 4g . I think this bugs can fixed immediately.
