How do you stop the notification page from coming up when you touch the power button?

You mean the lock screen? You can disable that in Settings. It's under, as you might expect, Lock screen.
I don't think it is the lock screen. It has a bunch of icons across the top and a brightness slider

That status bar? Slide it back up.
Settings -> Advanced settings -> Side key
I don't see anything in side key settings to affect that.
Motions and gestures > Finger sensor gestures?
Looks like that did it. Thanks!
What a strange, useless feature...

I'm hoping I'm not going crazy here, but I thought I recalled at one point that my Infinity had a feature that would allow me to slide a little lock icon at the bottom of the screen when in a fullscreen app that would "lock" the home/back/switcher buttons to prevent them from being accidentally pressed.
Anyone know where I can find this functionality or what it was called?
Thanks!
Settings -> ASUS customized settings -> System bar lock
When I had my LG G2 some time ago, I was able to customize the buttons on my dock. I was able to have a back, home, sadly no multitask button, but there was an option to have a button that would drop the notification bar.
I've been looking for an app, or solution since the Z5 is on the big side. I went through all the phones settings, but couldn't find the option. Anyone know of an app that may offer this functionality? I'm searching, but haven't found anything. I did find an app, but I'd rather a button added to my button dock that's always available.
Thanks
you would need root to do so.
Damn, is there any non root solution? Don't want to void warranty less than a week after buying it lol

you can install another launcher like nova launcher. There you can do everything. E.g. expand notification bar on swipe down or create shortcuts to open the bar...

Awesome, thanks for this. I already use nova launcher so looked through the settings. The best option I found was pressing the home button while already on the home screen and it'll drop the notification bar. Not exactly what I want, but gets the job done. The ideal solution would be to have a fourth, dedicated button beside the multitasking button that dropped the notification bar without having to be on the home screen. Just like the keyboard icon in the bottom right when a keyboard is open.
The G2 did this perfectly with the built in options. Wish about offered this on the stock Rom. Thanks for the tip GZA, at least I can do this from the home screen now.

What about swipe down on the home screen to open the notification bar?

Is that supposed to work? I swipe down on the home screen but it doesn't do anything.

Er, that's how Android has worked since at least Jellybean 4.1 (first Android version I ever had). Start with your finger just above the top of the screen and swipe down.

In Nova settings you find gestures and input. There is swipe down option. You can add expand notification there... But this feature could be in paid version only. Not sure...

Er that's how Android has always worked, and not what my question is. I'm looking for a solution to drop it without doing that as this phone is too tall.
I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?
Am I the only one facing this problem?
@uninformeduser
Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).
Offtopic: Gesture typing on android keyboard is not working anymore.

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.
I noticed when I swipe down on the recent icon thingy a lock will appear on the top right hand side of it. What is that and what does it do?
Locking an app prevents it to be killed when u tap the trash (close all apps) icon.
Weird I don't have that option it seems convenient xD Did you have to enable it somewhere or was it like that by default?
You only have to tap on the app and pull it down, and the lock icon will appear.

it kepps that app protected without being killed by the battery manager.
its useful sometimes, bt most of the cases its not working well, those app protected may get killed based on remaing RAM

The padlock icon remains absent when using this technique on Nougat 7.1.2. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make the padlock appear on individual apps in the recent tasks screen?

Thank you sir you really helped me.
As title, there is any way to lock the screen without pressing the power button?
I used to lock the screen with fingerprint sensor on my old Moto G5 Plus but on this Zenfone 6 i still couldn't figure out a way to lock it without pressing the on/off button. Besides not being so practical it will wear the button faster and we all know how things are made today... to not last.
You can set double tap on status bar to sleep. Works good enough.

Thanks, i had a new look and i found the setting under gestures. I was missing it because i think theres a issue with the translation to Portuguese. On the quick description it says something like "Double tap to activate LCD".

How can i set double tap on status bar to sleep? Can't seem to find this options. Thanks in advance
It's enabled by default, there is no dedicated settings. Once enabled double tap in settings, double tapping on status bar will turn off the screen.
You can double tap anywhere to lock your device, not only on status bar. The area you tap must be empty (icon free). I keep the center of the home screen empty for convenience.
