Settings, security and lockscreen, emergency rescue. Turn off emergency call trigger. If you press your power button 5 times in a row fast, like when you think your turning up the volume, it dials 911.

Yeah I did that after yesterday. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Disable the 5x taps in your power button. I called 911 twice already

Exactly, a must disable for me!

Silence ringer when phone is locked

Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.
i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too
Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.
just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone
silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )
I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.
Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.
Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!

Turn off Vibrate when outgoing call connected

I had to hard reset my phone a few times this weekend and since then, my phone vibrates every time an outgoing call is connected. I can't seem to find where to turn it off.
I had SPB Phone Suite installed but have since removed it and no change. I also have PhoneAlarm but can't find setting in there.
Help!
vibrate on connection
Hi, I had the same happening with my Hermes. I finally discovered that the vibrate on answer was an option under the "quick dial" settings. (The orange phone icon in the bottom right.)

seems like a cool option if you ask me.. hard to tell sometimes when the call gets connected. my wm6 phone doesn't have that vibrate option.

Can't Answer Calls After 12.1.3 Update

My Mi Note 10 updated to Android 11 with MIUI 12.1.3 and now when I get an incoming call, sliding up the button to answer the call doesn't work. The button sides up, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then the green button appears again, and sliding it up does nothing.
Someone else I know who has the Mi Note 10 had the same happen to them a few times.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas how to fix it?
I should add that it's not just on the phone, but today I couldn't answer from my car's screen either. Pressing the Answer button on the car's screen could not make the Note answer the call.
I don't have the update yet, but often issues after updating can sometimes be fixed after resetting your phone.
A clean install is generally more stable than an updated one, so it's worth a try.
Good luck,
Oliver

Reset cache and data from the telephone app

And working?
I just reset all the data, keeping my fingers crossed it fixes the problem.
Thanks!
Sadly, it keeps happening. It seems random, but about 40% of the time I keep hitting the answer button in the notification on top of the screen and nothing happens.
Or, the green Answer button will appear at the bottom of the screen, but when I slide it up, the screen goes blank and then the green button appears again. The call never gets answered.
Similarly, when I dial out, many of the calls would ring once and then it cuts off.
It's really frustrating. I am using Google-Fi.
The same is happening with me.
It happens when you're not connected to the wifi. It's a bug related to mobile data, when the mobile data is turned on you cannot receive calls neither decline them.
I have tried clearing data of dialer app, but it only works for a little time, then the bug again starts to act up.
The main bug is only for when you try to recieve or decline the call with sliding, you can answer the call from notification shade.
Solution: A temporary solution i found is when you're getting a phone call, turn off you mobile data then you can answer the call.

Question S22 Ultra keeps dialing emergency number

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.

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).

Question Pixel 7 pro, While incoming calls , can not turn off display by pressing power button.

I find myself in a situation where I receive an incoming call that I am neither willing to accept nor decline. In such instances, I attempt to turn off the display by pressing the power button. However, the display reactivates almost instantly. Other phone models allow the user to turn off the display by pressing the power button, and the display remains off until the user presses the power button again
Ah yes, the old problem of if you decline it, then they know you declined it because it doesn't ring the right number of times. Trying to pretend to your wife that you're driving when you're doing something you shouldn't be doing?
Just kidding, but
There's no way to change that behavior.

That's the most simplest thing.... Google should have this ages ago..... Pity... Except the camera.... Everything on P7P is just average. Including performance, battery life......
But it's excellent heating device....
