Just got it. Looks great and all functions seem to work except if left for a bit, the device seems to freeze with a blank screen, but the green network signal LED still flashes every few seconds as normal.
The display is off, and all buttons don't work when it's like this and a battery out job is needed to reboot and get it back to working.
Everything will be fine until it times out or whatever and goes into this hibernation/semi dead mode.
This seems odd as I thought most phones these days allowed emergency calls in most standby modes. No keys work so no 999's for me when this is being like this.
Have I missed something obvious or is it a proper fault?
Please help as I need to send it back asap if it's a faulty phone.
Thanks,
Joe
Just to add, it has just frozen again but this time on the today screen. No keys active, and when I call the phone number it rings on the phone I call from, but nothing happens on the v1240.
Update: I also bought another as a gift, it doesn't do this and the faulty phone has been returned as I am away from the UK with work for some time soon.
Topic can be closed now - it's a hardware fault.
My HTC Touch Pro pick the call during the time when I move it out from my pocket during it rings. Sometimes in my pocket it picks the call automatically when someone called me and I am totally unaware of that call..
Is there any way to stop this... Please help
htc touch pro picks the call automatically
WHOO HOO!!!!! I am not the only one that this has happened to! I thought it was because it had the "touch screen" too sensitive
-rastlin
Then is there any way to avoid this.
Because this is ridiculous that call picked up automatically which you don't want to pick .
RIGHT!!! the only way i found to deal with this issue is to set the screen sensitity for a higher setting
-rastlin
How can I change the screen sensitivity to resolve this issue.
There's something in the options
I'm not sure if you can follow me because i have a german version, but there is an option.
At personal/phone (the phone icon) go to the very right.
There is an option to answer without pressing a button.
Does it help?
Actually, i don't have any problems with the sensitivity, because the phone goes to standby and the only way to reactivate it is pushing the on-button...
When in sleep-mode the phone reacts to calls as it should.
Hi there, good afternoon.
Im having a very strange problem with my cellphone, that is very difficult to describe.
First, the problem only happens in the call screen.
After tapping at the dialer keyboard, the touch screen input goes crazy and keep pressing the keys by himself, completely random.
Also, the problem arises when receiving calls, ending the calls automatically.
All the random pressing happens in the "End call" area, which is very weird.
The phone is most unusable now since calling is a priority.
I have no on how to procede or where to download a new rom to flash.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Im trying to find a screen locking solution that will allow me to lock my phone with either the pattern lock or a code. Currently my phone (LG Phoenix [P505]) is running froyo 2.2.2 and though I love the phone I would love to be able to lock the phone. Currently if I use the pattern lock I end up pocket dialing 911 because of the emergency call button. Two simple bumps in the right place and your leg is talking to 911. I can't do a custom ROM for the phone because one does not exist yet and I dont know even half of what I would need to know to make my own. Anyone out there have an suggestions?
How can you pocket dial 911 on a touch screen?
Or is it a hardware button doing that?
The phone is touch screen yes, but when you hit a hardware button on the phone it brings up the pattern lock screen which has at the bottom a software button that says "Emergency Calls" and if pressed comes up with the dial pad which is already populated with 911 (emergency number here in the US) and has the send button lined up exactly with the Emergency Call Button. So if you have it in your pocket and it hits one of the hardware buttons you can in a matter of two bumps to the screen you can have the police on the line.
(off topic)
You have Android 2.2.2? was that preinstalled on your phone?
what is the software version? (v11e or other?)
Thanks,
R.
The phone came with 2.2.1 but just updated it over air to 2.2.2 today hoping that would fix the issue but with no luck
here is everything my phone tells me
model number lg-p505
kernel 2.6.32.9
build frg83g
software version lg-p505-v10i
I have this same problem. I switched to the pin lock screen and haven't pocket dialed 911 since. I would rather have the pattern lock though.
I got the Galaxy S22 Ultra in July of this year and since then, it has dialed emergency number more than 5 times. I have no idea how to stop it. I have:
a) Removed the phone dialer icon from lock screen.
b) Unchecked the Emergency SOS option.
c) Unchecked the "Wake Screen on double tap".
But, for some reason, the screen still keeps waking up when the phone is in my pocket and particularly when I am going up/down the stairs or on a treadmill. The second observation is that it does not dial 911 but dials 112. Then I get a call from the emergency responders and I have to explain to them about the phone.
Phone is non-rooted, Android 12 and upgraded to Android 13. Problem happens on both.
I have searched on Google but cannot find anything relevant. I have no idea how to stop the phone from dialing emergency number. Please help...
Prior to S22 Ultra, I has S20+ and it never dialed emergency number.
Thanks,
Arun
check whether the power button have issues. check by dialing *#0*# and tap on SUB KEY.

What is supposed to happen? When I pressed the SUB KEY, the phone screen turned a bright grey. Pressing the back button, the screen turned bright purple. Pressing the back button second time brought back to the original screen.
If I dial *#0*# and press the power button, the screen turns bright red. Then pressing back button turns the screen bright purple and pressing back button second time takes me back to the original menu screen.
Thanks...
Does it turn red without pressing the power key, just wait few seconds to check whether its happening, because if there is a problem with the key then definitely the screen changes to red by itself.

It does not turn red by itself. I waited couple of minutes.

Type in settings SOS, under Safety and you will find an option to press power button to call 911, you can turn it off there.
It is already off but the phone still dials emergency number. It did so again yesterday. I was just standing and watching TV and phone was in my pocket. On closer inspection, I am seeing that the phone dials 112 and NOT 911. 112 is also considered an emergency number.
This has been happening once/twice a month ever since I got this phone. I have turned off every possible emergency dialing but it still does so.
Someone told me that these phones have a feature that when they detect certain type of movement, they assume that the person is in an accident or has fallen down and they will dial emergency number and there is no way to stop it. This is super dumb IMHO.
From what you're describing it seems that the screen gets turned on randomly and it also accepts interaction even though the phone is in the pocket.
I have no idea why would the screen turn on (and allow touch interactions) when it's in the pocket.
Do you have a screen protector/cover or similar that might "simulate"touches ? or maybe a case that pushes some of the buttons on the side ?
You are absolutely correct about screen turning on randomly. Many times, when I pull the phone out of pocket, I see that its screen is on and dialer is on emergency call screen. It would only take one touch to dial the emergency number.
I do not have any screen protector, only cover. The cover is Spigen and I cannot see a way that it would simulate screen touch. The power key on the cover is recessed to prevent accidental press.
I have another theory. I have configured Samsung wallet and this wallet can be activated by screen swipe from bottom to top. Even when screen is totally off, a swipe from bottom to top activates the wallet and card shows up. This wakes up the screen and brings up all the menus etc. including provision to dial emergency number. I am not sure if friction between pocket and phone screen is causing to launch this screen.
The only problem with this theory is that I had the same setup on S20 without any issues. But on S20, I always used screen protector which might have reduced the touch sensitivity. On the S22, I have tried couple of screen protectors including many brand names and they just do not stay.
Go ahead and test your theory by switching off your swipe gesture for your samsung wallet and see if that'll do it.
I had this exact same problem several times on my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. Has absolutely nothing to do with the Emergency SOS feature. Mine would call 911 with my phone in my pocket while mowing my lawn...very embarrassing to tell an LEO at high alert barging into your backyard that yeah, you really are okay...maybe hot and in need of a beer, but essentially okay.
What's happening is you have Double Tap to Turn On Screen enabled. A double tap in your pocket or bag will open the lock screen, expose the soft key for making an Emergency Call, and ultimately a couple more unfortunately well placed taps will place the call to 911. Apparently this has become a huge problem nationwide since the Android 13 update late last year. To disable it, in the phone Settings, go to Advanced Features, Motions and Gestures, and turn off Double Tap to Turn On Screen.

I had already disabled double tap before posting here, but it was still dialing 911. Finally, I have put a screen protector film on and did NOT increase the screen touch sensitivity. Normally protective film manufacturers recommend increasing screen touch sensitivity after installing the film. Since then, it has not dialed 911 (knock on wood).
