It's day 3 of using Nougat. So I wake up in the middle of the night, check something on my phone. Afterward, in order to shutdown the phone, I long press power button, select "Power off", press "Power off" and then now all of a sudden, I have to pass an aptitude test in order to get the phone to shut down. Are you kidding me? Please tell me there's a way to disable the PIN requirement in order to shutdown the device.

I think there's a way to wipe lockscreen security in TWRP. Since I'm not locked out of the device, I can just go ahead and remove my PIN in settings. But my issue is that I would like to keep my security features, such as a PIN to access my phone. I just don't want to have to use a PIN to turn it off.

From what I read, it's a feature of Nougat to prevent a lost or stolen phone from being able to be shut down. Annoyingly, they don't always allow an option to disable a new feature.

I use CWM that you get after you root your phone.
quick boot
I hold down the power button for 2sec to get the shutdown menu and if I hold it for more than 5sec it will reboot... I don't see why I need an app for that
anreboot: reboot, recovery, bootloader, off options

i'd rather press soft keys
If you don't have a rooted phone try 'Fast Reboot'.
Although it does not close the device down it closes all Apps freeing up resources, memory and resets the phone if it has any errors.
Read the reviews... Many swear by it and I find it actually works very well.

Strange... It should reboot. Are you rooted or changed the stock firmware?
Quick boot does what you want by the sound of it. Free version on market.
Can set short cuts up as well if you don't want to go into the app itself.
Although for any app to trigger reboot you need root.

Power Off your Phone and Hold Power + Volume Down to Enter Recovery Mode (if your device lock Bootloader) select Wipe confirm it with Power button. Wait Process until completed.

send me the photos on this +91 9023564990
Finish the battery power of the phone and leave it for 2 days or so (in Download mode and *not* connected to odin) for faster battery usage, or anywhere as long as it on
After that power it to recovery mode with the volume up button and the power button but press em right after inserting the power cord (cable to your phone to charge it so it can boot to recovery)
When the Samsung thingies pop up release the power button and don't release the volume up button
Press till u see the recovery menu and then wipe cache and then factory reset it :cyclops:
Mostly likely it's gonna need the previous Google account details, I'll research on how to frp bypass the Google lock

Can't select anything with the power button, can't force reset it with holding the power button, and I don't know what to do.
you'd better not lock the bootloader. If your device is not totally stock this will brick your device. EDL is the only way to restore then.

I just installed the latest RUI before this happened, also what is EDL?
Ok, it somehow solved it's self after a few hours, it stopped moving and allowed me to select, lol.

you can force shutdown by pressing vol up + power button for a while until screen goes black or just keep pressing if you want to reboot
