Allowing the power button to function when device is locked

[ashuslove]

Is it not a Bug that allow a lock button to function while screen is locked. It means any one can switch off the cell without opeaning the lock of the deivce?

If the device is password protected and still allow lock key to display the poewr off functionality without opening the lock of the device. It sounds like giving the security break to the thief.

I don't undersand this word game,lock screen vs screen lock. There is a lock screen where you insert your PIN/password etc to unlock the device.

Power button can be used when the screen is locked.

Just like alexdon said, the power button can be used when the screen is locked. This is according to design and is not considered as a bug.

If it is not a BUG the if i lost the device there is any need to wory that device is not going to be switch off instantly?

Even if the power button could do that then you can still use the force reset button combo of Power and volume up and on some devices remove the battery or depress the red reset button

If you lose the device,there is a matter of luck if someone will or will not turn it off if found.
