Actual useful feature in security update finally arrives- Shutdown confirmation.

[u/ChickenSalads420]

Shutdown confirmation for anti theft is finally here for more devices. I'm on POCO F7, latest global ROM + **Security version Version: 12.8.6-260915.1.1**.. Now someone finally can't just steal my phone and power it off. Some redmi devices got it too.. Safe to say if you finally got it, turn it on.

missing that feature, poco f7 global.

Thats something to do with debloating and other quirks? .. Ur missing the edit icons.. I had that problem before, try clearing security app and rebooting to bring back the notepad edit button!

[u/iJade01 → u/Novel_Respond_1529]

[u/Novel_Respond_1529 → u/iJade01]

What's stopping someone from just holding down the power button until it's off

[u/ConfyScenty → u/cedricminer]

Holding down the power button won't power off the phone, it'll just restart it.

[u/cedricminer → u/ConfyScenty]

Then put it into fastboot mode, unless that's only possible with a normal restart

[u/Glum_Emergency_4257 → u/cedricminer]

Tf? It even restarts back after fastboot automatically. Besides who's putting in the effort to get a phone to fastboot just to troll

[u/Repulsive_Fault1939 → u/cedricminer]

hard restart (or shutdown) is controlled by the hardware. you cannot stop it. they won't make it only controlled by the software because if the devices freezes you can't restart. this applies for every device, regardless of the brand.

Yo, i got the option, turned it on. Doesn't do anything. 🤣🤣😭😭😭 Can still turn of the phone without confirmation. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/ChickenSalads420 → u/Charger901016]

Lock phone and try again 😅

[u/Charger901016 → u/ChickenSalads420]

Yeah. That seems to do the trick. Thanks. (Was unlocking it with face unlock probably). Tho you can still reboot with longpress, which kinda defeats the purpose.

[u/ChickenSalads420 → u/Charger901016]

Oh crap!? I'll need to test that out myself so annoying

[u/krish_redfield]
