I've noticed that Android 5.0 allows to change many system settings (enable/disable WiFi/BlueTooth/Autorotate/etc) on its Lock Screen without entering any password.
I hate this liberty.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this feature?
I cannot find anything in settings.

I too cannot believe this was left as a feature... I was hoping that would be fixed in the final version.
Bump.
This is actually a security issue.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

If i do that it prompts to unlock the phone
Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to ｃｌｉｃｋ this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...
Recently updated to Android L. However the option for me to set my lock screen to none is no longer present. I had switched it to swipe to test out the new notification features and it was there at that time. It is now gone and I cant figure out how to return it short of wiping phone. Using an Nexus 5.
Any suggestions?
Solved.

I managed to solve this. Under Andoid L if you access the guest account and switch back to your primary account the none option is disabled. To have it enabled, switch back into the guest account and select "Remove Guest" when looking under the profile switcher. This will end the session and activate the option.

Talk about a bug... That worked perfectly for me. Thanks
I have it enabled on my account but there's only one default option in settings > advanced calling. Anyone experienced something similar? I tried resetting and power off and on to no avail.
Do you have any if the Verizon bloat frozen? I had to unfreeze all apps to get it enabled, now I wish I hadn't, I can't get Google voice to work again!
Nope.
I have the same problem, I enabled it when I got my phone but now I cannot find an option to disable it. When I enter the 'Advanced Calling' menu it asks if I want to activate but I have already done so. It goes through its routine and tells me I have it enabled already but it wont give me an option to turn it off.

Are you on stock or custom rom and have you seen the second option (underneath Activate Advanced Calling) to enable/disable before?

I am on stock *OC3 with some of the verizon bloat frozen, with root. Could the frozen apps have something to do with it? No I do not have a second option underneath.
This is what I see when I click 'Activate' even though its already been activated. When I reboot, I see the same thing all over again.
I am not sure, try unfreezing all the Verizon apps and see if it works.
I am on Clean Rom Lite 1.1 but other users have not experienced the same problem so it may just be something on my line/account.

When I searched for power monitor in search bar......I found the option i was looking for in the search results...... But when i went into the developer settings.... Couldn't find the power monitor option in there......i have attached some screenshots....
Tap 5 to 10 times on ALL options you see under phone info,tap on cpu info,tap on blabla info,there come new options.

I mean under phone specifications,there you see ram,cpu and so on.
Maybe is rom dependent and is disabled by default. I'm on global and have the same problem but from what I can see is only to monitor FPS, which you can probably use a different app for that

yes.....this option is for monitering fps......
also there are more hidden/disabled options such as paper mode(which i discovered from activity launcher).......performance mode....etc
There are a lot of features disabled on global stable that probably will never be enabled unless you use China or EU rom
Hello there,
as written in the title I am trying to figure out why the settings app does not show the apps list to turn off dark mode for sigle applications.
CONTEXT:
MIUI Global 13.0.1 (Android 11), Dark mode enabled.
Some minor (no root/no roms flashing) tinkering has been made on the device, including:
Uninstalled some community-recognized bloatware via adb
Revoked some highly-sensitive intrusive permission for some system/not-system apps from Settings > Privacy Protection > Special Permissions, however no permission has been revoked from the "Settings" app
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
Opening Settings > Display > More dark mode options shows a list of apps (under "Individual apps") for whom you can disable the made-in-miui dimming.
OBTAINED BEHAVIOUR:
The "individual apps" list is empy, as shown in the screenshot linked above.
ALREADY ATTEMPTED (AND DIDN'T SOLVE):
Rebooting the device (disappointed, I expected this to work)
Accessing the dark mode settings from the notification area
Opening the settings in split-screen with another app
Opening the settings after opening as many apps as possible to fill the RAM
Waiting 5+ minutes in the "More dark mode options" screen
Swiping the line just above "Individual apps" up
Accessing the settings page while mobile data and Wi-Fi are turned off
What are the other possible ways to solve this? Is there a particular system app who is responsible for the app list showing in this setting? Or is there a way to completely turn off Individual apps dark mode while keeping dark mode on?
Thank you in advance for the replies and screw Xiaomi for making no option for this and making this "in-app-enforced-darkmode-wannabe" enabled by default for every app.
Hum..., bump?
Unfortunately all I can add is I'm experiencing the same issue and haven't found a solution. I think it must have been introduced with an MIUI update as I know in the past the dark mode app list has been populated.

Still not working for me. I did find this thread for a different Xiaomi phone with the same MIUI issue. Seems someone has made a Magisk module if you have a rooted phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-miui-13-redmi-note-10.4404923/post-87160523
However I haven't rooted my phone (in case I had any issues with e.g. banking apps) so haven't tried this myself. I'm just hoping Xiaomi eventually fix it in an update.

That is absolutely crazy, how Xiaomi messed up their own software. It has not been showing the apps for me for long now and it is so annoying to have to switch dark mode off entirely every time an app doesnt display elements correctly, just because Xiaomi forces their weird dark mode adaptation into apps that dont support dark mode natively. I dont get how they thought that feature being on by default for every app was a good idea...
EDIT: Also thank you for the link but I don't want to root my phone either, too many security related concerns.
It is working, the UI just stalls when loading the apps list. when you open the "More dark mode options"
place your finger on the line that says "individual apps" and swipe up. if u did it right it will show the list., just keep swiping up from that line until the list shows
This issue was discussed in the xiaomi forums (c.mi) and this is the only way to access the dark mode page.

I tried this several times and in multiple directions (I can actually swipe the interface up), swiping the line app to the top, but it keeps showing no app; there keeps being a problem on loading the list of apps for some reason
