Re: How to disable Emergency SOS call feature
There has another Samsung update that has modified the unwanted behavior again. I set countdown option to disabled. Now my devices immediately call 911 and cannot be stopped. The call cannot be disconnected until 911 operator terminates the call. Holding power button does nothing, opening the settings tray you'll find that the power button is gone. Holding power & vol down for hard reset gets disabled as well. The emergency number is now set by carrier and cannot be modified. The problem has become so widespread the local call center is reporting 99 out of 100 911 calls are falsely triggered SOS calls. What a unnecessary waste of resources. According to FCC it's a regulation they enacted to help prevent sexual abuse and rape, instead it has had a disastrous affect on 911 reliability. Until the October update I had set the emergency number it dialed to a non-working number. Since then I modified my otterbox case by shaving off the power button leaving the actual button indented requiring me to use a fingernail to operate the power button.How to disable Emergency SOS call feature
Samsung Note 20 5G (SM-N981U) with Andmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm m,roid 13. How do I turn off and disable the Emergency S.O.S. calling feature?dfffffffffffffffffffffc In my State as of July 15th, it is now a crime to make a false automated 911/SOS call. 1st offense gets you a warning. 2nd offense in five year running period gets you $1,000 fine, and 6 months in jail if a physical response is dispatched because of the call. 3rd offense in a five running period gets a $3,500 fine, then if physical response happens its 18-24month sentence. 4th time it becomes a Felony with $10,000 fine and/or 60 month sentence regardless of physical response or not. So? How does a person turn OFF the Emergency S.O.S. calling feature to avoid the possibleconsequences above?
