If someone steals your phone, they will immediately turn off wifi/data services and then turn off cellphone
I've just realized I can do both without needing to unlock. In case of a theft I will be unable to use the android device options to clear the phone memory.
Do you know if there is any option to block these functions while locked? I can't find it anywhere.
Unfortunately there is no option to block access to quick tiles while on lockscreen. It's one of least secure phone which I had since few years, even if they claim differently.
The solution I'm using is:
Use app called Shortcutter which let you put wifi icon in quick tiles and block access to it while on lockscreen. Not all options works as should but it's one solution.
I disabled all tiles eg. gps, airplane mode from quick tiles as I'm not using them (gps, data always on)
Hope it will help
Thank you for pointing this out, I would take those options off the tiles and use them from the settings menu.
Just extra precaution in case you lose or someone steals your phone.
Does someone know how android 12 custom Roms behave in this topic?
GrapheneOS asks you to unlock the phone when you press the Airplane mode tile, for example.
protonaosp also asks you to unlock the phone before disabling internet
Thanks for both replys! Now I have an other reason to try GrapheneOS
What iv done I didn't notice it tipp this post iv removed the settings from the tile qmd then did a shortcut on home screen to settings then internet works ok that way can confirm it's the same on a pixel 6 pro and a pixel 4a to
It looks like all custom roms support this security on lockscreen. I'm using Evolution X rom (unfortunately discontinued at this moment for pixel 6/6pro).

Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
Upgraded my Redmi Note 3 from MiUI lollipop 5.1.1 to SIimROM Nougat 7.1.2. My phone is rooted with Magisk & also has systemless xposed.
First, I want to disable quick settings pull down from the lock screen. I'm able to use every toggle on my quick settings screen without the PIN code. Wouldn't want to allow that without the PIN. Gravitybox Nougat doesn't seem to have an option to disable that.
Second, on MiUI, whenever an app accessed my location, I also got a notification that displayed which app was using location. This doesn't seem to be the case on AOSP Nougat, all I get is a location icon in the status bar, but have no idea which app is accessing my location. That isn't of much use, is there is a root app or an xposed module that can display which app is accessing my location?
Third, the max volume on my ROM seems to be too low, I can't hear most YouTube videos I watch without keeping the phone very close to my face. Which mod would be the best to increase system volume? I don't care about other equalizer settings & all that, just want a way to increase max system volume.
Fourth, when I first setup a lock screen on my ROM, it seems to have encrypted my phone. But when I turned On accessibility service of an app, I no longer see the secure PIN screen that was asked before at boot. Some searching made me realize that turning On accessibility disables encryption, don't know why this is the case. 4 of my apps need the accessibility service to do their tasks, is there no way to have the accessibility service enabled while also keeping the phone encrypted? There must be some workaround....
Hello
i've been using my Honor 8x for 24h and i haven't been able to figure out a way to enable/disable Wifi or the flashlight or Hotspot or just recent notifications without unlocking the phone first.
It is really annoying and blocking.
On my previous phones for examples, after turning on my bluetooth headset, i just had to enable bluetooth from the quick-access section on top of the notification menu to let them be paired again together.
Can someone tell me if it is just a setting in the security settings section or if the phone really doesn't allow this ?
Thanks a lot
Try sliding from down to up while the lock screen is on, it'll show you torch and other useful shortcuts. And as for WiFi, BT or mobile data toggle switches enable show on lock screen in settings, that'll help you! [emoji1360]

I've been using this tablet for a few days now, and I've noticed that I don't have the manual rotation feature or a toggle for it. (It's the one that shows a little rotation button prompt when you turn your device, with 'auto-rotate' turned off.) Apparently, One UI devices should have a toggle in the sub-menu that appears when pressing the text in the Auto-rotate quick settings tile, but my Tab S3 doesn't show the toggle there. (Weirdly, my Note 8 also doesn't have the toggle but the feature is active anyway)
I did find a solution, which is an app called Tap'n'Turn that so far is working nicely, but I'd thought I'd ask if there were any other solutions that don't rely on a constantly running service.
Also, I'm running rorymc928's tweaked version of the T820 stock ROM based on the original Android Pie release (September 2019 I think), with Riru EdXposed. Thought I'd add that info just in case I've accidently done something that's hidden the toggle if it's supposed to be present. (On that note, I did try disabling GravityBox, but that made no difference.)

No my friend. Apple can also disable quick lockscreen settings. Only pixels no. Oneplus, samsung instead yes. I used cerberusapp to disable the shutdown button and then I'm using Power Shade (paid) to block toogles from lockscreen

im not totally sure what steps i took, but i disable most settings, it seems to be in there buddy

It depends on which toggles you have visible, in the settings there is nothing about it.
But do you have a rom installed?

hmm perplexing,
sometimes all qs comes up and i can turn on flash etc
sometimes it goes straight to lock screen
only features turned on lock screen are; show devices controls "maybe bluetooth related", and always show time and info

I'd suggest to keep an eye on the phone and be careful to avoid such mishaps
