    Good, this happened to me! I had my phone in the cup holder of my car while driving down a dirt road and bumps pressed the power enough to make it emergency call 911. It scared the shit out of me cause the phone also starting make a horrible alarm/siren sound.

      It happened to me but I was in the shower. My power button jammed. 911 attempted to even call me back, I feel sorry for wasting their time.

      Yeah, accidentally got the alarm too. I think it started a countdown to actually dialing 911, but didnt make it to 0 before i cancelled it. Well, I hope thats what it was anyways. Freaked me out.

      Then I started thinking about if it did that when I was actually in trouble. I mean, if i was being held at gunpoint, I don’t think I want a giant alarm going off. I worry that would be a great way to get myself shot.

      But, then I was ultimately thankful for it, in the circumstance at least, cause then it definitely would have dialed 911 and wouldn’t have known…

      I still wish there was a way to call silently though. Or, maybe there is, but im not gonna purposefully get to the point where I could find out.
