How To Force Power Off Android Samsung Phone When it Locked.

Turn Off Samsung Device When it Locked. When your cell phone is locked, the device cannot be turned off using a manual procedure. Because if you turn off the mobile manually using the power button the mobile will still turn on. Locked cellphone means that you activate the screen lock, screen lock can be pattern, password, PIN, or fingerprint. I made a guide on how to turn off the Samsung cell phone when it was locked because of experiencing the current problem. At that time I forgot the pattern lock screen that was made. So I cannot access the home screen and other menus. Even though I will perform a master reset on the device through the settings menu to remove the screen lock. Another way I can do is perform a hard reset using a hardware key combination. Therefore, the device must be turned off to enter the android system recovery menu.

Now follow this guide to turn off the Samsung phone when the screen is locked. When we use the buttons combination that we will use, there are two possibilities that will occur on your Samsung phone. First, your Samsung phone will completely power off like the manual power off procedure using the power button. Second, your phone will enter download mode. Download mode is used to prepare the flashing process or install stock ROM.
