    How do I make it so that the phone requires a password to switch off?

    It's not really possible because even on a device that DOES have that option in the OS (like Samsung), there are still ways to restart or power it off without knowing the lock. Basically as long as you hold the Power button long enough, the device will force restart itself

    Apple asked me to Destroy a Working iPad

    If it's a decade old, it's definitely not getting updates any more. And most apps require the OS be no more than 5 years old, in order for them to run and work

    Montana Bans Tik Tok State wide

    Hate speech, conspiracy theory, and right-wing extremist babble are all considered "free speech" under the 1A, unfortunately. Unless you're articulating specific and detailed threats against specific persons, you can ramble about hating Jews as much as you want

    Wouldn't it be great if competency won elections, rather than dollars....?

    Montana Bans Tik Tok State wide

    No. Banning it outright violates the First Amendment, specifically the free speech part No. They would order all ISPs in the state to block TT's servers, basically. Except it'll never get that far because it'll be ruled an unconstitutional law

    {Help} Locked out of Samsung Galaxy S22 after forgetting password

    No, you can't access or back up anything in the device's current state. It wouldn't be a very secure lock if there was a way to do that, because the entire purpose of the lock is to PREVENT access to all of that.

    Unlocked phone question

    U, U1, and W are all cross-flashable, dating back to the Galaxy S8

    Unlocked phone question

    You can remove all carrier bloatware by flashing the firmware of the G970U1, which is the exact same model but sold directly by Samsung, network unlocked and bloatware free. That'll not only remove the startup splash screen but all of AT&T's preloaded apps

    Smart Switch didn't transfer WhatsApp messages to my new phone

    You need to use WA's built-in backup + restore feature, in the app itself

    Is there a way to restore SMS without wiping phone

    You can't restore from a Google backup via anything other than Google's official restore process. But, you can use a 3rd party app to backup and restore texts - "SMS Backup & Restore" is great, You can even give it a date range to back up from

    Some Samsung models need to be plugged into a PC via USB, in order to get to the Android Recovery menu. So install the Samsung USB Drivers if you don't have them already, and then repeat the steps while you have it plugged in
