Quick access to place an emergency call

With a regular mobile I can just dial an emergency number even if the phone is locked. How can I do this with an iPhone without going through the procedure of unlocking, select the phone app, select dial pad and then dial.

If you use passcode lock, then wake the phone, giving you the unlock screen) and there's an Emergency Call button at bottom left

  • DL 09 Update breaks Emergency Calling ...

    If you use a pattern lock on your phone, and attempt to use the Emergnecy Button on the homescreen while it is locked, you will not be able to place an emergency call until you unlock the phone with the right pattern.
    PLEASE ---- Do not use the lock pattern if you are concerned about quickly being able to get to 911.

    gotta love the verizon and samsung testing.  They take all that time and still can't get it right which is nothing new as there is ALWAYS problems with the updates they push out.
    http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-acknowledges-emergency-dial-problem
    It has come to the attention of Samsung Mobile during the recent DL09 OTA (Over-the-Air) update for the Samsung Fascinate that some users utilizing the Pattern Lock are finding that the Emergency Call shortcut is not automatically launching the dialer. However, unlocking the device will allow the user to make calls as they normally would, including emergency calls. We apologize for the inconvenience and are continuing to evaluate the issue, including if the issue is linked to the update. 

  • Phone Locked - Emergency Calls Only

    I bought a 3G second hand and when I went to activate it the slider allows me only to place an Emergency call. Phone appears to be locked but how do I unlock it? It doesn't ask me for a code. Any ideas?

    You need to put a SIM card in it and activate it through AT&T via iTunes. You can buy one off eBay.

  • Quick access to missed calls in call log

    I have a Palm Centro (Sprint). How can I set up quick access to the Missed Calls in the Call Log? On what many would consider a much inferior phone, my old Sanyo Katana, Missed Calls access could be set up as a quick link and available by the push of one button. On what many would consider a superior phone, the Palm Centro, it takes eight pushes to get to the Missed Call logs.
    Can anyone help me get back that one-button-push functionality and set it up on my Centro? Quick access to the Missed Calls log is very important to me.
    Thanks, Mike
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Unfortunately, there is no method to remap the missed call log to another button natively on the Centro.
    There may be a 3rd party app. available that you can install that will accomplish what you are wanting to do.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • How can I add more chosen websites for quick access in the remaining empty fields in "file"-"new tab"? ing empty fields

    I can´t add preferred, chosen, most visited or bookmarked websites to the 28,15 or 6fields in"file" - "new tab". I have a PC with Windows Vista and have been using Firefox with additional Google toolbar as my preferred or default browser for several years. I have downloaded several updates. I suspect that my version is now 4 or 5. Originally the Google for Firefox new tab feature showing chosen favourite or preferred websites for quick one click access worked fine but I seem to have lost the abiiity or forgotten how to add new such favourites for quick access. The "edit" button there on the bottom left can only delete valuable chosen sites, which then seem to the be lost forever. This edit button is very dangerous! The "bookmarks" and "most visited" tabs listed show a wild coincidental mixture of sites I once visited sometime but have nothing to do with my real favourites or chosen or most visited sites. So I don´t use these bookmark or "most visited" features.

    Most visited would not be your bookmarks, but your tab history.
    You can check that out via Ctrl+Shift+H then search on ":" (colon without the quotes). Sort on the "Visits Count" (descending) and you will see that they agree.
    '''Most visited''' is one of the '''smart bookmark folders''' which are database queries.

  • No service - emergency calls only

    I've had the same problems as most of you since Monday no service,emergency calls only,no access to online account. Got a new sim from EE store yesterday and it worked for about 30 minutes then back to no service again. I've just tried my old sim just now and it's working (so far). Maybe worth a try if your still having problems. X

    Hi ,
    Thanks for letting everyone know to check the old SIM.
    This is under investigation, we are trying to get this fixed as quick as possible.
    When the old SIM goes off the new one will be back on for good this time.
    Thanks for your patience.
     

  • My phone wont let me do anything. On the locked screen it says hello in a bunch of different languages and when i unlock it it say to choose a Wi-Fi network and will only let me go to emergency calls. How do i fix this?

    How do i fix my phone?
    Itis trying to make me hook up to a Wi-Fi network and wont take me anywhere other than that and emergency call. I tried to restore it but I can't because I have find my phone on.

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • Bug fix for can not open notification center, missing OneDrive functionality and missing standard pins from quick access

    (this post was previously titled:  Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Accesss)
    Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access
    So depending on the out-of-the-factory solution - whether giving priority to back compatibility (desktop list under PC) - the only place in Windows 10 to find it (please add by default at Quick Access) ... this think about removing then the redundant link
    which be under This PC then.
    There are already options now - in Explorer > View Folder Options > General to control the provisioning of the concepts in the User navigational space for Quick Access, Libraries:
    1) So may be put an option so at least you can set Explorer to show the user space folders Desktop, Documents, Links, Videos, Pictures, Downloads under the Quick Access concept (where it now naturally belongs) rather than under the technical concept "This
    PC) - where you would normally expand to browse drives.
    2) Another option: If you do not care to expand drives - also add a provisioning option for hiding the This PC object (if all User Space concept are now available at Quick Access).

    Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access.
    Had to redo my roaming profile - i.e. delete it and start all over. It was a legacy profile from i.e. Windows 8.
    OneDrive was not working - notification center not working - and apparently the documents, pictures etc. folder was not pinned under Quick Access.
    After deleting and recreating the profile everything was inplace - including the user space folders (documents, pictures etc) listed under Quick Acess which I complained about in the previous post.

  • My phone keeps resetting and then shows the icon to plug into itunes but when i do itunes tells me that it can't connect to my phone because it has a passcode and wants me to unlock it to connect. My phone only gives me the option to make emergency calls.

    My phone started resetting today over and over and then shows the icon to plug into itunes. When I tried plugging in, a message pops up saying that itunes can't connect because my phone has a passcode and i need to unlock it to connect. my phone won't let me do anything more than make an emergency call. it wont give me the option to enter my passcode to unlock the phone. What can I do?

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • Z30 Emergency Calls Only

    Hi,
    I have been using Z30 for about 3 months and it was fine until sunday. I made a call on sunday night before going to bed. When I wake up in the morning, to my surprise, i see the phone was switched to EMERGENCY CALLS mode. I swapped SIM, toggled airplane and Mobile Network. Even I tried the Network Selection mode to manual/automatic. Everything went unsuccessful.
    I can use the same SIM in the other phone. 
    Please advise how the EMERGENCY CALLS only mode can be changed.
    One more thing, 2 days before the phone OS was updated to 10.3.1.1767.
    Look forward to hear from you.
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you try: Turn on Airplane mode --> Reset Phone (using either method I said earlier) --> Turn off airplane mode and check if signal is back ?
    Also a couple of other quick questions. When you put network settings to "manual", does it show a list of available networks ?
    Can you also tell me the Radio Version you have from: Settings --> About --> OS (from dropdown)  ? Is it 10.3.1.2559 (just want to see if it same as my phone)
    Thanks!
