The past few days i accidentally called emergency services.
When i wanted to change my volume I tapped my power button instead of my volume button.
Is it possible to disable the 3 times tapping power button for calling emergency services?
Its in the advanced features in the settings, called Send SOS messages I thinķ

Is it possible to make it so pressing the power button when on the phone would hang up the call? It would be much more convenient to hang up this way then having to wait for the screen to light up, press the end button, and then hit the power button to darken the screen.

Yes it is an option. Hit menu>settings>accesibility>power button ends call
(it's the bottom option)
Throw me a thanks

Do you have to do this while in a call? In the normal settings panel, I don't have anything under Accessibility. I was prompted to install Talkback, but that didn't add anything like a Power Button Ends Call option.
I don't believe that Sense has the option for power button controls, the other poster must be using an AOSP ROM, which does allow for you to tick the option to end a call using the power button.

Hi people, im having a little issue with widgetlocker on my samsung, when im at work and the phone is in my shorts the power button easily gets pressed, and that will trigger the unlock screen, and then if the power button is still pressed it will shut off my phone, so is there any way to disable that? Or select a new key to get to the unlock screen?
please help

There is an option in the widget locker settings that allows you to disable this.
Open WidgetLocker, hit the menu key and scroll through the settings. you should see it

Hi i allready had that unchecked, my main issue is that the power button is able to shutdown the phone while im on the lockscreen
does anyone else's cwm jump 2 spaces at a time when tryin to select in item? its completely random and then sometimes when i press the menu button to select an item the recovery goes to sleep. pressing the menu brings it back up but since i cant use the menu button to select items i have to pull the battery
Strange and how do you get acces to the menu button in recovery mode. Or do you mean the power button.

the power button selects your items. just randomly the power button wont act like the select item button it will act like a power button on another phone where it turns the recovery screen off and you just see the cwm logo sitting there, so i have to battery pull its weird. dont know if i had a bad flahs or what i havent seen anyone else have this problem

when the power button puts the phone to sleep in CWR that means you accidentally disabled the Go Back option. You can cycle through the menu with the up button a few times and you will see a note about the Go Back option being enabled. Going the other way you will get a message about the Go Back option being disabled.
The overly sensitive buttons issue is being worked on. Someone is developing a CWR option that increases the font and greatly improves this situation. I'll try to find it and post back here. I don't think it's up to full speed yet though.
Good luck.
Could be a bad flash or the wrong cwm image. There's a toro and a magure. Make sure you have the right one. I sugest flash again.

First time it happened to me I almost had a stroke. I had just wiped everything(!!) and when I hit the power button and the screen went dark I really thought I had selected reboot without having a rom installed!! Sure was glad it turned out to be something simple.
The latest OOS update 3.2.8 disabled double pressing power button to open camera feature which is my (probably everyone's) favorite feature. It is now replaced with triple pressing the power button to call Emergency services. But the camera shortcut is very useful. I request devs to create an Xposed module to bring back the feature.
Hi,
I have the 3.2.8 and the double press power is work for me.

It has been disabled for Indian users as our government has made it mandatory for every smartphone to have a physical emergency button
Why don't use the other option gesture to open the camera?

Instead of abusing the power button often with that double press to open camera you better use the gesture option instead
Can anyone who is not in India confirm that Double pressing the power button still launches the Camera in 3.2.8?
I've tried the O gesture but I find it to be inconsistent. :crying:
I totally agree that the double press power to launch is the dogs. I may stay on 3.2.7 if its lost in 3.2.8. :silly:

ok thanks
So I have an Indian SIM in my OP5T and double pressing the power button calls 911. I wish to disable this feature as I have done it 3-4 times now. Is there any config files in the system that I can edit out and disable this feature? Maybe edit the emergency number?
Thanks
