minus-square@Wrenchlink19•edit-29 months agoWhoops. Apparently my android version has 5x power button pressed call 911. It does require a pass code on hard power cycle though, which is what I use when going through security (when I remember) Edit - holding power and volume down shuts the phone down
minus-square@MeekerThanBeakerlink8•9 months agoHah. Did the same thing. Hit cancel right away. I’m sure there’s a setting to change that. Also, you can add a “Lockdown mode” button in the power menu where there are Power off and Restart buttons. No need to power off that way.
