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.
It probably requires root, but I’m sure Tasker can do this.
Really, all phones should have the option to reboot into locked mode on certain conditions like being taken out of network or being unattended for a while.
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.
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
On iOS this is 5 quick presses of the power button, and it vibrates in a unique way to let you know it worked, so can be done in a pocket or just without looking, which is nice. But yeah an auto reboot would be swell.
I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.
I thought it’s a standard feature (auto restart at set times). Maybe a samsung thing and not android.
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.

The interesting thing is if the manufacturer is shipping them that way by default.
Could possibly also look at the motion sensors to see if it is in a pocket moving around or if it was sitting around for a while.
There is a shortcut action to shut down the phone which you could trigger with an automation, I suppose.

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.
GrapheneOS has an option to reboot your phone after being locked for X hours.
