The power off verify functionality that is implemented in recent update is useless. I am not sure if it was properly tested. Its pretty easy to bypass.

All you have to do is

  1. Press the power button for 10 seconds. Phone starts to reboot.
  2. As soon as cmf logo appears, press the volume up key to get into bootloader menu. Then it can either be left on there as it wouldn’t be possible to track the phone while its at that menu. Or you can press volume up button to navigate to power down option and press volume down to select it and power down the phone

So I request Nothing to either remove the useless implementation or fix it so that when its enabled, long pressing power button won’t make a difference.

TeeEeeBee I’m from Bangladesh and it’s very easy to counter that. The thieves are very smart here!

That’s why I lost my last phone…I could not recover it even with Polices help!!

Btw I have another question! What if the device was not connected to internet and got stolen, what can be done??

    Can anyone tell me how to turn on these features, like idts i have them turned on…

      Mr Steel @RapidZapper the power off verification is not working now.

      I don’t know what happened but I thought must be a bug when I tried to use a couple days back. I didn’t take it seriously but after trying for ⅘ times this feature is not working at all.

      Also I don’t know whether this is happening to others or only me so I thought I’d tag you with this situation!

          Dragonlee OviGarry You are trying to power off the phone from the lock screen?

          Check the (imho badly worded) information in the settings:

          “You only need to enter your lock screen password when powering off or restarting the phone from the lock screen.”

                TeeEeeBee this feature does not work now! It used to but it’s not working anymore

                Already reported it!

                Edit: yup this feature is dead now!!
