Phone "Emergency SOS" Keeps Triggering

4.5

Your phone starts a loud countdown to call emergency services while it's just sitting in your pocket.

Symptoms
  • Accidental SOS calls
  • Loud sirens
  • Pocket dialing
Possible Causes
  • Stuck power button
  • Tight case
  • "Call with 5 Presses" enabled

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable "Call with 5 Presses"

Settings > Emergency SOS > Turn off the shortcut triggers.

2

Check Power Button

Ensure the button isn't sticky or being pressed by a tight case.

3

Disable "Crash Detection" (if biking)

Extreme vibrations can sometimes trigger false crash alerts.

When to See a Technician

Accidental SOS calls are a major issue for emergency dispatchers; it's best to use the "Hold" method instead of the "5 Press" method.
