as the topic says; How to turn off emergency call? by pressing the power button twice while the screen is off ?

i saw some youtube videos where they have an option for pressing the power button twice launches the camera. but i don't see it anywhere. and instead of the camera, my op5 makes an emergency call. which is annoying!

i think thats an indian custom. i read that the law demands that. otherwise its under key settings.

Ohh man! I have called emergency at least 10-15 times in a day. Really need to find a way to change that.

This annoying "feature" activates only if your OP5 was bought in India and has an Indian SIM in one of the SIM slots.
I removed the Indian SIM and it does not dial 911 when power button is double clicked.
I put the India SIM back on, but had and set it to "inactive" in the software, but the issue persists.

The only way to get around this is to not have an Indian SIM in either of the slots.
It was a bit annoying as I am not in India and I activate my Indian SIM only for banking, but just because the SIM is in the phone, this "feature" is forced on us. I reached out and spoke to the customer care, but they pretty much said that it is how it is, and they "might" change it in the future, but I won't hold my breath...

I can understand the phone having a panic button, but I feel it is only fair to ask it to kick in if the Indian SIM is activated or if the phone is in India. We shall wait and see if OP will actually do something about it.

Is there a way to disable this if you have root ?
or an rooted app ?

Is there a way to disable this if you have root ?

Or some way via build.prop or something?
Could someone help out?

i found a way on OOS 5.0 (oreo)
simply turn off double tap to wake in gestures.
It works like a charm

 

[Mu009]

Nope.

Well
1. Didn't work for me (I'm on OB19).
2. I'm not going to go without D2W anyway.

Any developers around that could point us to the right mod?

Thanks! This is certainly in the right area.
However, could you be more specific as to which file to manipulate - I tried fiddling about with it a little bit, but no dice so far.
And if you also know how to enable the double tap to launch camera again, that'd be great.

Finally found the solution.

Received Android P update today. I can see an option to turn off emergency call. Just Navigate to Settings - > Security & Lock Screen -> Emergency Rescue -> Emergency Call Trigger just set it to disable.
