Multiple iPhone units stored for forensic analysis have rebooted themselves, causing concern among law enforcement officials that Apple has a new security feature.
Its an aosp feature i believe, but its disabled on many phones. Graphene and calyx have it. With calyx its default off, but you can set it between 1 and 72 hours. Very handy feature.
I can put the phone in lockdown by press-holding the power button and select the “lockdown” option. Not bad, but an actual reboot daily at night wouldn’t be so bad.
As the linked screenshot shows, you have the option to choose between shutting down and rebooting. There is no need to explain the difference to me, I demonstrated that the thing you want to do is possible.
This had never occurred to me before but it’s great, thanks! I expect that alarms don’t run until after first unlock, so 3am wouldn’t be great if I use the phone to wake up but later in the morning should be good.
I believe it should still work, as alarms trigger for me even if my phone updated overnight or I put it on the charger dead before going to sleep, but I’ll have to test it
Dont know what lhone you are speaking of, but on Samsung phones, the only thing that this does is disabling biometrics and notifications. Your phone stays in AFU and this does not protect you from law enforcement or other
It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.
Biometrics are what you have and a password is what you know. I can record you and look at you or even grab a part of your body (e.g., for fingerprints) but it’s not possible to read your mind.
I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.
I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.
18 hours by default.

Graphene is set to reboot after six hours of inactivity, ensuring that it reboots every night after I’ve gone to bed.
There is a shortcut action to shut down the phone which you could trigger with an automation, I suppose.

That’s not what I mean, I’m talking about the Shortcuts app:

Samsung has this option.
GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn’t been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.

I thought it’s a standard feature (auto restart at set times). Maybe a samsung thing and not android.
GrapheneOS has an option to reboot your phone after being locked for X hours.
