I have a USA version by Verizon and on the lock screen at the bottom is an "Emergency Call" button. Anyone know if this can be removed and where the setting lives?
I know I could change lock screen apps with a launcher, but I don't want to at this time so I wonder if this is cooked deep into the OS and only a root function can kill it off.
I've only ever seen thsi if there's no SIM inserted, or if there's no service. It's not there in normal use. Not for me anyway. Never has been for any device.
Least you think I was BSing you can see 4G and cell signal (so SIM card is installed) and ..... emergency call button on lock screen

Hmmm...that's very weird. Never seen that on any device before. Is it a carrier branded device? Can only think it's a carrier mod? Or perhaps a requirement in the country/state you're from?
Verizon.. USA as per first post. Actually, when I Google this, it is not that uncommon but people - like me - hate it. So far I only see root and then mod as an option (which is not yet available) or a different lock screen app (which I don't want to do). I see no setting to turn it off in the Lock Screen settings area.

I can confirm on my LG G2 AT&T variant (running an international variant rom port) it shows this "emergency call" button with knock code enabled. No way to disable it that I am aware of without root. Hopefully this will come soon!
I would guess it is a safety feature when the device has any type of pin/knock code/pattern. It lets someone dial emergency numbers like 911 without knowing the code.

That's too funny that you actually took the time to explain what it is for and what it does ha ha captain obvious
But anyway, SO many phones don't have this, I don't want/need it.
solution to your problem
This link has the answer to your problem. Have same featue on my US LG phone.

I like the idea that the lock screen can take you straight to the camera. But with the standard slide to unlock, I found my phone unlocks in my pocket and calls people.
So, how about being able to set two (or more!) lock patterns - one to take you home, another straight into the camera?
With AOKP, you can do up to 8 different things on the lockscreen (straight to camera, straight to SMS, etc.). Try that out.

Wait...what? How does it unlock in your pocket? The screen isn't nearly sensitive enough to pick up touches on your leg through the pocket lining (unless you're wearing dress pants), but even if it were it doesn't pick up large touches in that way. It shouldn't be able to unlock at all...unless maybe you're leaving open an app that has a Menu button, since that still displays on the lock screen and pressing it once will unlock the phone.
Like the other guy said, check out AOKP. I think there might be a way to set up the combination lock like that.
They should have a little toggle. Something which you tap before entering your unlock pattern, and then it will take you straight to the camera. Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

A small toggle on the lockscreen with the pattern would be awesome. Something similar to what Moto's done on their lockscreen with the RAZR

Unless I'm missing something in AOKP, I think you're referring to the regular unlock method, not the pattern unlock. The OP is curious about having two different patterns with two different launch results.
+1 this is a good idea

Welcome to the forums! Have a look around, try out the search button.
As WiredPirate mentioned, this has been discussed a few times.
The good news is that it's more of a "not officially condoned" as opposed to a "not going to work" type of support. Continue to use Wallet to your heart's content, just understand that there are certain risks on a rooted device - and Google won't be responsible if you run into problems.
Yea I can confirm that it still works. I only saw that message once... then never again. It just means that if you run a Rooted rom, you won't get support if something goes wrong or your money becomes missing.

This is not true. I spoke with Google CS about this and the man I spoke with assured me that the message meant if the app doesnt function in the way it should, ie. not transfering data via NFC or pressing a button doesnt work, that Google is not responsible to help you troubleshoot it. Not that you cannot cancel your card or retrieve your funds if you loose your phone. The phrase he used repetitively was "Your money is still your money", if for some reason your cash 'disappears' just call and they will straighten it out. But if the app is not transmitting or if it is spazzing out, do not expect them to help you troubleshoot it and get it working properly again, which I imagine they would initially try to do anyways or atleast give you suggestions on things to try but would eventually say "we are not responsible" if you are taking up too much of their time.
I hadn't planned on replying to this question since it has been covered several times but I had to clear up the misinformation.
Today was just the first time I ever noticed this warning in the app like that. I've been rooted forever, but I thought it might have been due to a recent update (and no topics showed up in the little "topic title search" thing).
Been like this for weeks. Its effectively a "user beware" notice.
Hey guys, I've had my phone for a day or so now and just wanted to list some bugs I've found and see if anyone else has experienced them.
When hanging up a phone call my wallpaper is the application settings screen of a random app (reboot fixes)
Sometimes the screen randomly turns itself on
Sometimes after leaving an email (Touchdown Exchange mail) when I press back I am brought to the application settings screen of a random app
When I get a notification and attempt to open it on the lockscreen the lockscreen becomes a rectangle about 3/4 the size of the screen which is empty and I need to swipe within that to open the app that the notification came from
I will add more as I come across them but just wondering if anyone else has experienced those same bugs/glitches. Thanks!
Not a bug but I cant seem to hide folders in my gallery
Verizon g4 here, i have none of those problems except the last one i thought that was normal my g3 did that as well

I guess that's not a bug then per se but it is ugly none the less.
I am having issues with my wifi. It will show connected, but will not connect to internet. If I turn off/on wifi, it will work again. I have tried on a airport extreme and anetgear extender. Same issue on both.
My screen is randomly turning itself on and off very quickly sometimes.
Number three is normal, it's the same on g3. Lg changed it from stick Android where a simple double tap would open the notification. However . If you excited the notifications first, then tapping it goes straight to the app, without swiping.
Hey Verizon people, are you all seeing - when using a lock screen setup (not just swipe) like knock code or pin or pattern - the ugly Emergency Call button?

I'm guessing it's a Verizon thing... I have that on my KitKat Droid Razr M.
I have Verizon and have the Emergency Call on mine as well.
This is going to sound weird but I hope someone can help. Only on my phone and only on WiFi i cant use Amazon. It shows no connection in the app and only lets me go to the sign on screen in the browser. Every other site is functional.
While messing around with the hidden menus, I turned on PRX/DRX measurement display , under RF -> ANT Setting menu. There seems to be no way to turn the option off again.
Can this have any impact on battery life / performances? Is there a way to disable it? If i click again on the PRX/DRX ON button, it reboots the phone but the option stays ON.

I cant find a clear answer what this is for some say fm radio others say its how gear talks wi5h the fone. I hate to make an example here thought this is why we dont touch settings we dont know about. U hqve no clue what it does and for all u no u coulda wiped ure phone. This is a big no no but enough of that u way no matter how many times u click it stays on. Only other way would to restore ure backup or it may been on in the first place. Or a factory reset if no backups
you may look into ant+ its part of the system it may give you more of an idea ive never messed with it im pretty sure i got it debloated outa mine

ANT+ seems to be a communication protocol for data exchange between smartphons and various types of sensors.
On the other hand, "ANT settings", in the hidden menu context, seems to stand for ANTenna settings...
Did some research and I'm starting to figure it out a little bit.
PRX should be "primary data receive" while DRX is "diversity data receive" (it could also mean "Discontinuous reception" ....). Both have to do with LTE-WCDMA (?).
I'm not into telecom engineering, but I guess having both ON it's the way it's meant to be.
What is strange, is the menu behaviour : initially showing nothing, then apparently enabling both, and now allowing to turn off either one function or the other but not both at the same time.
For the time being, I see no anomalous behaviour or battery drain.
Bottom line : better not to tamper with it, I concur. But it would be nice to know what exactly PRX/DRX means , and if the menu is merely a tool for reading network performances ("lte ml1 serving cell measurement") or it actually enables/disables antenna features.
PRX is primary data receive signal.
DRX is diversity data receive signal.
You can guess the rest of it....
Has anyone else has this option greyed out?
I have the option to choose between 5G,4G,3G,or 2G (Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Preferred Network Type).
Yep they've greyed it out even though my phone was bought simfree (unlocked)

If you scroll down a bit further, don't you have a Preferred Network setting?
Nope just a 'Choose Network' which is also greyed out
I'm at a loss, hopefully, someone else will chime in.
FWIW, mine is a US Model, puchcased from T-Mobile, SIM unlocked (using a T-Mobile SIM Card).

You could always just use the dialer code *#*#4636#*#*
Turns out certain networks have the option disabled, I had the same problem when using an ID Mobile sim but my Vodafone sim was fine. To fix the problem make sure your rooted as I don't know of any other way other than the one I'm going to show.
Use a file manage that can show you root files (I use MiXplorer)
Go to /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files
Look for a XML file that starts with "carrier", If you have more than one then you've used more than 1 SIM in the phone, Make sure you've opened the XML file for your SIM.
Look for the line "hide_preferred_network_type_bool" and change it from true to false.
Reboot.
Profit.
Hope it works for you.

I'm with Smarty (owned by Three) which also uses the Three network like idmobile so it looks like Three maybe the cul·prit
I'm on I'd mobile which uses threes network.
Type this *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, it enters a test mode.
Click on phone info which takes you to another screen.
Scroll down and you'll see a slightly gray box that if you click on that and scroll through you'll find LTE only.
Click it and that's it, 4g network only.
Restart phone, job done.
Pretty sure my battery also seems to last longer
