DISABLE turning off the mobile data or wifi from lock screen

Samsung has it since the beginning. You can’t turn off the mobile data or wifi from lock screen. It’s a security breach.

Imagine your phone gets stolen, and before you can locate it, the thief has turned off the data

sisamme Hey, if you don’t want the option to disable mobile data & WiFi from the lock screen - remove the widgets you placed on the lock screen, I don’t think locking quick access widgets behind a passcode makes much sense. Also, disable quick settings access on the lock screen in settings -> lock screen -> quick settings.

Daniel Yo yo yo yo…. Wait up. It’s not just the widgets. While in the lock screen you can use the notification panel in quick settings and turn off the data or wifi too!!!

And it makes more sense to remove the microphone access widget to have lockscreen to be unlocked first. You see?

false, with the setting I mentioned disabled, you can’t access the notification & quick settings from the lock screen - see attached video recording.

Daniel Can’t access notification bar? Agreed it works, but do you think it’s feasible or a solution?

So to turn on auto rotation, I have to unlock device, or to turn on flash I have to unlock device!

Wouldn’t that be simple to push these little (sensitive settings) behind the passcode instead??

Daniel

sisamme You can add quick settings widgets that you want to access without a passcode on the lock screen and the rest will be locked behind a passcode.

Regardless, if you see this feature needed then submit a feature request via Settings -> System -> Feedback.

sisamme

Daniel That’s the restriction. Not the solution. Thanks anyways.
