disable emergency call facility

[Guest donster22]

hi

my spv600 keeps dialing 112 (emergency services) when it's in my pocket even though the keypad is locked. i can understand the benefits of this system but even in a case and in my pocket i do not want it doing this when the keypad is locked.

so, does anyone know how i can disable the emergency call feature when the keypad is locked?

thanks

found the answer....

With the registry editor open, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ECall, and note the presence of a multi-line value called List. Opening this value brings up a list of pre-programmed emergency phone numbers. To add / remove an unlisted number, simply type it in and save the changes

Not all registry applications or devices will allow you to edit this, for those who can not do the above, a slightly more detailed explanation have a look here.

c600 allowed me to remove all numbers in the list and this works but... it still dials 112 so where on earth is it getting this number from now.

i have even deleted the ECall key and rebooted my phone and still it dials 112 when locked.

any other ideas?

thanks

SP5m is the same, all the registry entries removed but 112 still works with the keypad lock on :D

That is probably built in to the keylock application then.

any other ideas folks?

my phone dialled 112 from my pocket again at the weekend!!!

i see this topic has been discussed before and it stopped at the same point.

someone must have an idea where the 112 entry comes from and why it cannot be removed like the other emergency numbers just by deleting the ECall reg entry.

where else can we look?

cheers
