Verizon Samsung Fascinate emergency dialing bug

1. here is a bigger problem. the emergency dial option will call 911 if the phone is in your pocket. the "but dialing" problem. I think you should have to unlock the screen in order to dial 911.

2. @therealslimshady7953 me ;(

3. @therealslimshady7953 The point of it is if you don't have a phone, but the injured/unconscious person does have a phone. You grab their phone and make an emergency call

4. this never happens on my brothers samsung fascinate

5. that's because of that unlock code software, not the phone itself!!! disable that, and then check it again.

6. I hate phones that let a number be dialed on the lock screen… I think they're headed in the right direction, they just forgot to remove that stupid button 🙂
   I had an oooold Windows Mobile HTC phone that had like 6 different key combinations on the hardware dial-pad that would trigger a 911 call, drove me freaking crazy.

7. @TerryMasters247 It is solar winds. You are right

8. My fascinate does not look like that.

9. I updated and my android does not look like that.

10. What's your backround when you were unlocking your screen?

11. this guy sounds so terrified! and rightfully so, people could die from this issue

12. I can confirm this bug, but I was able to fix it easily on my phone. Reboot the phone after creating your lock code. This bug should disappear (permanatly?) after a full power cycle. As far as which phones it affects, my guess is phones that have a lock code created after the update (for the first time possibly) & that haven't been rebooted since said creation.

13. This bug has made up my mind for me. I will be getting the Verizon iphone. Seems like every update android phones get, either contain bloatware apps or bugs. How long will this take to fix? Just as long as the SMS bug that sent a horribly worded text to my father instead of the contact I wanted. So over android now.

14. Petty issue compared to actually having to use an Iphone, IPHONE SUCKS

15. @ThechosenDemon Android phones suck. I have the fascinate rooted, and even with all the cool stuff they have, there is no support. When will froyo come, how about ginger bread? nobody knows. On ios you know when the update is and they don't treat you like shit. Iphone > Android. Its like a pc vs a mac, they macs dont let their software work on other devices because its not made for it, just like androids. shitty…

16. i'm really starting to wonder, does samsung even check the phone at all before they release updates??? something that obvious should have been noticed by them, or maybe they did notice it but were too lazy to fix it anyway… HTC THE BEST!!!

17. So much Samsung hate.. =/ It's not like HTC phones never have bugs, and I don't really see why the Galaxy S would be a bad phone… I'm very satisfied with mine, anyway. My one and only significant complaint left after all the updates (in Europe) is the plastic-y build.

18. @backdoorman1971 This is why you don't buy a Android phone..u do the right thing and buy an Iphone phone ..

19. Just go with HTC and call it a day cause Samsung is so ******* lost in the phone war its a shame

20. Samsung shite again. (galaxy owner, pissed off galaxy owner….)

21. Hell, for as long as they take to actually release an update you would expect it to be flawless.

22. This is why you don't buy a Samsung phone..u do the right thing and buy an HTC phone ..
