Remove Emergency Call Button? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to remove the emergency call button on the unlock pattern screen (not the lockscreen) using the leak 2.1 rom? Can't find much on this specifically for the eris when searching.

i would like to know this as well? anybody got any ideas?

I know nothing about the matter at hand, but I do believe it would be illegal. I think phones are required to have "emergency" dialing whenever the phone is password protected in case of emergencies. I have never had a phone that didn't.

I think it would only be illegal if it came without one. >.>
But either way, this sounds like a completely stupid idea.

[Q] Can no longer receive calls!!! *resolved*

Seems that all of a sudden I can no longer receive calls. I thought it was just certain people since I had received calls before but now the people who were successful in the past can't get through any more. It's either just dead or says call not allowed from this device or those beeps you get when the recording says "if you'd like to make a call...".
I'm wondering if I inadvertently did something to cause this. I'm totally new to smartphones, android and sense. I've gone through settings that I know I went into and I can't find anything. I rebooted phone, leaving it off for a few minutes, still no incoming calls. I can call out though, even before reboot. Have not done any temp rooting since I'm still reading up on all that stuff and don't have a grasp on it yet.
I did install some apps but this seems to have started without connection to that although I can't be certain. I can gather a list of them if needed.
I'm thinking of doing a factory reset. I've backed up all the pics and videos I took over thanksgiving to my computer and I believe there's only one app that wasn't free that I got from the Amazon app store. Will all my contacts stay if I do a factory reset? I still have my old phone so I suppose I could get Verizon to transfer them over again, or maybe I can get them off my car since I just put them on there.
Oh!!! Would it have anything to do with me having set it up to use in my car? I was sending out music via bluetooth so I had to set it up as a "portable player" in my car. Maybe I changed something in the phone... I can't really remember and I'm not finding any settings in the music app or in the main settings.
Anybody know if there's something I might have done? Am I safe to do a factory reset?
Edit: One other thing I did to the phone was add a "Music" folder on the external sd and put in a bunch of music. I couldn't find how to do this in the manual or via google so I just hooked it up to my computer and tried that and it worked as far as listening to music. Doubt it would affect phone but wanted to be complete in this post.
Installing apps and making music folders should in no way affect your ability to receive phone calls. Sounds like you need to call Verizon.

Agreed, before you go resetting anything call *611 from your handset or whatever Verizon's 800 number is and see if they screwed something up(more than likely)

Yeah, I called earlier but I don't have another phone to call from so I'll have to go down there. I made her promise they would compensate me for my time since I complained about switching from AT&T and having problems already.
Hahahaha.... I inadvertently turned on call forwarding and it was forwarding to number 9. I know exactly how I accidentally did it too. I was clearing out my old AT&T contacts which had come over and they all start with *. I wanted to be certain they were not Verizon numbers so I dialed each one first and one of them activated the forwarding. I didn't seem to get any notification of it being turned on that I noticed.
Needless to say I thanked the guy at Verizon for finding out what it was and did NOT ask for any compensation.
Glad you got it all figured out I would have been in panic mode!
I almost did that when he started talking about me having to return it to Amazon for a replacement. I immediately started thinking no! I have red buttons! My phone doesn't overheat or reboot on its own! What if I get a bad one. Plus they're on backorder there! I need a phone, my old one is AT&T!! LOL.

[Q] Multiple phone password?

Hi everyone
I'm looking for an app that allows multiple password to enter the phone. I would have mine, that unlock the phone like it should, and another that unlock only certain "feature" (just call for example)
Does anyone heard about something like this?
Thanks!

UIM card

I'm on the latest Energy Stock Rom, and whenever I dock my phone onto my desk dock, I get a message in my Notifications saying "Unlocking UIM card... UIM card is PUK-locked". I tried tapping it, but nothing happens.
Any idea what this is?
Thanks!
Your best bet is calling Tmo and asking them if there's any code they can give you for that.

But I'm never prompted to input any code. Tapping on the notification doesn't do anything either.
That has happened on both my RAZR and then later my Samsung Behold. Call your carrier and they will give you a code. I don't remember why it was asking for it; it somehow just happened. Whatever you do, don't try entering codes to unlock it. A lot of times it limits how many attempts you have and then you're locked out of your phone forever.
---Edit---
Okay, I just re-read that. That's weird that it's not actually prompting you for a pin. Maybe look in the security menu and see if there's anything in there?

Modify the emergency number ?

My HOX+ is always locked and I use a pattern to unlock it. Yesterday I call unintentionally 911 because of the friction in my pocket (i guess). It's the second time it happens to me. It too easy to make unintentional emergency call in my opinion.
Do you guys know a way to change de 911 emergency contact from the lock screen to something else (like "555" or "12345" ... or anything else to prevent calling 911) ?

I don't think that's possible. I never had such issues in years.

This is the first time I see such a question, congrats .
I think you should try a lockscreen replace app which supports pattern as a method of unlock.

[Q] 3rd party phone lock app ?

I'm tired of ass-dialing 911. Does anyone make an app to securely lock an android phone (pin, pattern, password) where there is NO "Emergency Call" option on the screen ? Or at least where its location is not the EXACT SAME POSITION as the call button ? I don't care if it is free or costs money.
I have an S3, it is not rooted (still under warranty). I'm running 4.4.2.
How the hell do you accidentally dial 911?
If you're rooted, there are Xposed modules that can get rid of the Emergency Call option.
The position of 'Emergency Call' is right where the dial feature is.
I want to see if the 'Emergency Call' feature has been relocated in an app, like toward the top of the screen. That way, when I grab my phone at one end to put it in my pocket, I won't activate it and also dial the number.
My phone is NOT rooted...I am looking for alternate ways of doing this.
nothing? nobody with any ideas ?

Maybe try Widget locker as lockscreen replacement.
Ooops, just saw you need a secure lock solution, this won't do, sorry.
