Locking samsung s5 power button

[AC Question]

Is there a way to lock the power button on the S5 when the screen is locked. I want to prevent someone from switching off the phone when they steal it to enable me to find the phone.
Thank you
Ernest

Welcome to AC
You won't be able to disable hardware buttons without root access. Even then, you'd have to find an app that allows you to set it for specific cases. There are other things you can do to help with theft. I recommend using Android Device Manager or Cerberus.
