Good point! But it would be also nice to disable turn off or restart.
But I guess volume down + power button will always work. How iPhone deals with this kind of situation?

IPhone has icloud activation lock, if the phone is registered to someone's account and you steal it and format it when going through setup it asks for the owners icloud details and won't move on from that

The question here is there anyway to keep the phone alive so you can track it as far as the battery goes. No way to shut it down or turn data and wifi off.

How about changing the lock screen with another lock screen app that disables quick settings? Next is one. Credit this post.
Samsung's Good Lock app (which replaces the stock lock screen) requires a PIN entry to change any of the quick toggles when the screen is locked.

I have my corperate emails linked with my phone which requires me to have my screenlock password enabled for it to work. I hate having to put in my code every time I look at my phone. Is there any way to bypass this security requirement, like tell the server that I have this feature enabled when it is not? Thanks.

Have you tried the app No Lock? It's free in the Market. Basically it disables the lock screen. It's been a while since I've used it, but if I remember correctly you can still have a security password set. No Lock just never lets the phone actually lock. You can enable/disable it easily with a widget on your homescreen.
I used to use it because I wanted to be able to wake the phone using the volume keys. Since I found a mod to allow that and still have the lock screen enabled, I stopped using the app.
Look I'm the android general forums. They have a way to bypass it, but mind you that if your IT department finds out you can get into trouble for it.
The no lock app prevents the lock from turning on if the screen goes black due to inactivity, and suits my need perfectly. I can push the power button and the lock comes on. Thanks for the help and advice.

I have version 5.0.1 with pattern lock, with the apps Lockwatch & Smart Lockscreen Protector.
But it's useless when anyone can just access the quick settings from the lockscreen and switching off Wifi/Data or turning on airplane mod..
There is any way to block access to this toggles? Or even to the whole Quick Settings?
I can live without access to the flashlight in lockscreen if that a problem..

Wrong section bro, post in Q&A, by the way, why would you bother someone disconnecting your wifi and Bluetooth, they can't turn on 4g and all that things which cost money in monthly plan.
One scenario comes in mind. When you lose your phone and want to use device manager to find the phone. If someone stole your phone, can easily put it in airplane mode so you can't locate it
Wonder why Google can miss this. Just like screen still turn on when on pocket with ambient display ON.
If you unlocked, you can try Cataclysm or N5X. Both has option to disabled it. Hope this help.
Slimlp also has this. Stock, no
Im unlocked, but "clean" rooted (stock rom+recovery+kernel with cf-auto root).
Since google added SELinux at enfoce mod by default in Lollipop (which avoids OTA installing at any state of Root), i'm considring to install a custom room.
But if to be honest, I really don't want to (I hate to mess around with all that thanks the crappy Galaxy S3 I had.. I bought the Nexus 5 in thought I could stay with stock+OTA and enjoy "clean" root+Xposed.. Apparently Google had other plans )
So if someone have an idea to avoid access to wifi/data/aiplane mod toggles from lockscreen, I will be happy to hear.

As already stated, only with custom ROM. There is no other answer.
By the way, I had an s3. This phone is completely different. Don't let the s3 put you off flashing on the n5

Anyone can press the power button on your phone too.
Quick access to the radios is useful.
Until 4.2/4.2.2 anyone could just connect a cable to your phone and use ADB to pull everything off.
Don't give your phone to strangers or place in unsafe places.

None of this is possible with a locked screen. Accessing the radios on a locked screen can prevent you tracking it. Sure, like you say, it can be turned off not another issue is accessing the guest account and installing malicious apps and making calls. Bit of a security hole if you ask me.

Not with a recovery lock and locked bootloader. At least my data is safe. Whats wrong with wanting a safe phone? Why have a lock at all if it can be semi-bypassed by quick settings.
You're right though, would be nice of TWRP also had recovery lock. At least we still have philz for now.
But yeah, I can get YOUR data no matter what you do, even after factory reset, but doesn't mean everyone can.
Its kind of like say "dont bother locking your doors because we can break your windows". We all still lock our doors.
I also think that this is a very serious issue.
When I lock my phone I want it to be locked completely not partially.
Have anyone figured how to disable quick access on locked screen (locked with password, pin or pattern)?
And also to remove camera icon?
The only thing i want on my lock screen is to enter my password and see notifications (this is something I am able to do alredy =))
Thank you!
I am hoping on an xposed module :angel:

The 'Quick settings' menu can be edited - when the phone is unlocked open quick settings panel and tap and hold any of its icons, you will be allowed to remove or add some functionalities. Just remove 'airplane mode' and 'mobile data'. This way when the phone is locked no one can disable its connectivity.
The drawback is that you can't switch the airplane mode easily even when the phone is unlocked.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
There are several ways to do, I don't know which one you prefer, the easierst would be to download the 'SMS bypass' (Cerberus or any other similar app can also do it but for just one feature SMS bypass is all what we want) which needs to be running in the background, that allows sending an reset sms from another phone e.g. '1234 reset'. After that your phone will be restarted and the pass will be reset to 1234.
But I not recommend to entirely disabled it generally because this would be an open door for other attacks.
I wouldnt mind. Its just a tablet full of games and ebooks. If theres a way to remove those features.

If she keeps turning it back on she may be just messing with you on purpose. -_- may be you should talk to her about that.
Not aware of any way to achieve that. Maybe you should choose "face recognition" as access module? She won't forget that credential
With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.

Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

Clear credentials is not active.
Device Admin - APP is added.
So the error is still there.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.
@ avah
This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.

Question.
Is it possible to flash the phone back to previous ROM version via Odin… and you won’t get Knox void .. or something else??
I'm thinking to go back to previous ROM when lock and fingerprint worked OK.

This is a duplicate of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff

Yes but the problem still remains so it was a good initiative. I've got a brand new S7 and I find this very annoying. If I switch off my screen with Nova, I have to use fingerprint+PIN Code to unlock. If I switch it with physical buttons, I only have to use fingerprints..
Fixed
Search 4 knock on app on playstore.
Instal
Tap on create icon. Turn off the rest options
Fixed by installing a third party screen locker.

Hi there,
I tried to use screen off apps on my SS S8, but when unlocking, it requested PIN numbers instead of using the fingerprint.
The fingerprint only works if we lock screen using the physical button or after timeout.
Do you happen to know any workaround for this?
I read a thread on S7, suggesting using Nova launcher with Screen Lock widget. But, is there any setting we can change to use other apps?
Many thanks,
Nghia
That's general security setting of Android. Happens to me on my OnePlus 3 when it's locked by Greenify. Simply ditch those lock screen apps.

hello,
it is a know issue, try Double Tap to Turn Off, will solve this problem, I am using it and I can use iris, fingerprint, face and of course PIN.

I use nova launcher plus lock screen to double tap gesture. Works fine.
How do u set it up in Nova?
Figured it out, nevermind. At first I thought it was built into Nova, but found the app and set it up. Thx
I was wondering if there are other apps can fix this as well.
Many thanks!

Played around with that app a little more, you actually need to enable that "show clear view" option, what it does is it would show the time on the screen for about one second before showing the AOD screen.

Use "softkey edge" which is a edge app works perfect. U can use iris or fingerprint after lock the phone using this edge app. Also it do not use device admin access..
You can download from galaxy apps and not avail in play store

If this is still a question for anyone:
With nova launcher, you need to give it accessebility permission and choose in the nova settings to use a different lock screen method
The setting can be found in the nova settings by scrolling all the way down and choosing the last option in the advanced settings... Each option has an explanation for how it lockes the screen
