   Hi All...   
      
      
   There was a recent news story and interview with a 911 representative   
   mentioning that they've been getting a lot of bogus calls from people who have   
   this activated.  Apparently, the two greatest culprits are when parents are   
   give their phones to toddlers and when the phone bounce around in the   
   cup-holders of cars.  911 quick dial is activated by 5 consecutive quick   
   presses of the on/off button.   
      
   I checked my android 12 based phone, and it does NOT specifically mention   
   quick dial in the "sos emergency" section.    
      
   Comparitavely, Emergency Location Services (ELS) is a separate function that   
   allows emergency responders to query your phone location even if you have   
   basic location services disabled.   
      
   Any.. with ELS "on", the quick dial doesn't work on my phone.   
      
   It doesn't even work on my Android 13 based phone.
