Ios7 lock screen emergency calls

Does the "Emergency" button on the ios7 lock screen/PIN entry screen (lower left of screen) bring up a keypad or dial 911 directly?

Depending on where you are located you, this "911" feature is to call for emergency help, even though the iPhone is locked. This feature will still work if the iPhone is in the United States even if it does not have an active service going to if from a cellular carrier.

  • Shown on screen emergency call only and connect to itunes.

    I use iPhone 5c 16GB iOS 7. it shown on screen (emergency call) and also shown (connect to I tunes), I can access to my phone and  I try to switch off and on many time but I doesn't work.

    It's in recovery mode. You plug it into a computer running the current version of iTunes and restore iOS. There is NO OTHER WAY to get past this.
    Anything that was on the phone is gone. I hope you at least had iCloud backups turned on.

  • Lock screen in call.

    When i am talking on the phone, some of the functions on the screen get activated (loudspeaker, mute etc.) when i press the lock screen button, it ends the call. How do I lock the screen during a call?

    Currently you can't.
    You may have a faulty proximity sensor; it's the bit that locks the screen when your face is close to it.
    Do a search here about the proxity sensor.
    You might have to replace your handset.

  • Ios7 lock screen blurs out my ICE contact info on my wallpaper

    if there are notifications pending (such as txts or unread emails).  This is a problem if I am in an accident and I have a PIN setup on my phone. No one will be able to see who to contact without access to my phone.
    On ios6, when you got new emails, you would still be able to see your lock screen wallpaper and any info on it.
    I think with ios7, by blurring out the wallpaper it could be dangerous or a hazard if a users wallpaper has important info but a bystander wont be able to see it.

    keep hearing a lot of people noting their lockscreen blurring issue is mostly due to notificaitons. But, if so, this is the easiest to fix, because you DO NOT have to display notifcations on the lockscreen. I believe there is an option that you can toggle ON/OFF, for displaying on the lockscreen.
    not sure if this will handle EVERYTHING that might blur the lockscreen; but think you can keep any notifications from displaying there.
    just set all of your apps to "DO NOT INCLUDE" in notifications.
    having said that, I am NOT sure how important it is for you to get notifications; but, if your health is the issue, I would think it would be more important to display your lockscreen image than to get notifications. You might be able to simply use option to remove from the lockscreen; but still get them in the notifications swipe down.
    hope this helps!

  • IOS7 lock screen time

    On my iPhone 5 and iPad mini running than latest iOS7, the time in the lock screen is shown in bold letters but, does not show 'am' or 'pm'.  Why is that?  I don't want to change to 24 hour format. If there is hidden setting to set it please share it.
    Thanks.

    I don't think that is an options that is available. iOS 7 dose not show AM/PM along side the time on the lock screen.
    Not sure if this was overlooked or left out intentionally.

  • No link to Medical ID via lock screen Emergency screen

    iPhone 5S, iOS 8.3, passcode protected: even if the medical ID option to show on lock screen is enabled, the link does not show... Is there a trick to enable this that I am missing or is this feature not working yet?

    Thanks for answering!
    "you should see Medical ID in the lower left."
    Well, that is my problem, it does not show in the emergency screen. Yes the iPhone passcode is in use and yes, I have created a medical ID...

  • IOS7 lock screen and wallpaper changes

    A friend who just upgraded & is beside herself at the changes to the lock screen and wallpaper in iOS7.  Can't seem to make the Move and Scale function work and stick on the Wallpaper, and she hates the keypad overlay blurring out her Lock Screen photo (she had the her Lock Screen photo cleverly sized and positioned in iOS6 so that the keypad was an integral part of the picture).  Is there a solution to this in the community? 

    dclehmkuhl,
    This is an absolutely low character and unethical change Apple made starting with iOS 7.0, I believe.  I've read rumor that Apple is in bed with a friend of theirs who've they've allowed to make an App, which crops the photo so it will work on the lock screen and background photo.  If this is true, this indicates a terrible low character era starting with Apple.  An era of Apple beginning to disable standard features and moving them to App makers to generate programmers and funds for friends of the company who make these Apps.   I've been submitting Apple feedback since iOS 7.0 regarding this (probably going on 25 to 40 times now) with no updates and now, today, we are on iOS 8.1.1 with no changes.  It would follow that this will not be corrected if Apple has allowed App makers to make fixes for this code change.  Sad, isn't it.  Apple is rolling in so much money and success that they don't fear any repercussions from doing something like this.  You think Steve Jobs would have done something like this to the users?  I don't think so.  If you read Tim Cook's bio, he came from Compaq and IBM.  Stars began aligning in my understanding of Tim Cook when I read this and see programming like this.  Either he is involved or he is so separate from programming now that he didn't catch the programming change and hasn't noticed this bug.  Either way, it's bad news for Apple's success.  An unethical CEO or an ignorant one who is no longer in control of the basics.

  • HT201401 phone is locked on emergency calls only and i cant seem to do anything else

    phone only says slide for emergency calls and thats all it can do

    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on the computer used for syncing the iPhone and select restore under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • IOS7 - lock screen in portrait.

    How can one lock the screen in portrait and then unlock it later.  Was dead simple before iOS7!

    Pull up from the bottom of the screen to access the control center. The rotation lock icon is at the top right of the Control Center.

  • No lock screen during call using headphones ios 7.04

    anyone having issues with ear or head phones. If i ask siri to call someone the screen activates in my pocket.
    Think its an issue with ios 7.04

    I also have this problem especially when I try to hold the phone between my shoulder and ear without using a hand....prior to iOS 4, the on/off button on the top would lock your screen while on a call. I had an original and 3G and never had this problem...once I upgraded to iOS 4, I began having the problem and because of the sensitivity improvements (overdone in the case of phone to ear), the iPhone 4 has made it even worse.
    My nephew called yesterday and just received an iPhone 4 without ever having had a previous and he hung up on me 3 times and has been hanging up on clients...he hates the phone now...I explained to him the proximity, accelerometer, and gyro-meter features and walked him through so he could see how the screen went from lit to unlit as he positioned it on his face....he just naturally holds the phone such that it is tilted to far and thus the screen becomes lit and touches his cheek.
    I just want my old way of locking it (without having to have headphones) by using my on/off button. I can use the "end call" button to end my calls.
    iPhone user since 2007 and this is the first thing I can say is truly annoying...even more annoying than the 3G phone being so slow in iOS 4.0 (now fixed in iOS 4.1).

  • Can the iOS7 lock-screen timeout interval be changed?

    I'm not talking about the Auto-lock setting; I mean the 5-second interval when my iPhone is locked and I press the wake button to view an incoming message or the clock. I would like to increase the time before the display shuts off again.

    There isn't much of a choice there...  1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes or never.  I'm really hoping that the next update changes that to something more reasonable, such as 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes or never.

  • IOS7 & Locked Screen

    I just upgraded my son's ipad to ios7 but it's asking for a password to use it.  I've never used that setting on his ipad so we don't know what it is.  I've also never connected it to any computer.  How do I get rid of this?  Thanks

  • Notifications on locked screen possible?

    Moved for greater exposure

    Hi bobh080850!
    It's understandable you wanting to be able to see your notifications, even when your screen is locked.  I would like to assist.
    The DROID RAZR screen lock is a nicely added feature to prevent accidental touches.  The only thing you're allowed to access while screen is locked is "Emergency Calls".  Just know this feature is set this way for your privacy.
    I hope I have answered your question, and have addressed your concern.
