Remove Emergency Call from Lock Screen - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to remove the Emergency Call button from the lock screen for the Z3 Compact?
The buttons keep getting pressed while the phone is in my pocket...

I don't believe that can be removed. I think phones are required to have the ability to made an emergency call from the lock screen.

I wish they could use proximity sensor to detect this pocket dialing...

Yes... this sucks.... somehow the "Tap to wake up" is much more sensitive than my LG G2....
My phone would constantly be waken up while in my pocket and the emergency dialer would get pressed all the time...
I wish there is a solution for this...

Agreed. I cannot use the double tap to wake either. When walking and listening to podcasts or music I hear a series of tones. When I take my phone out if my pocket I see it has dialed a bunch of numbers.

Same problem. It sucks.

I always use tap to wake but what i do is, i put my phone into my pocket such that the screen does not face the thigh. As in, the screen will face outwards so that there can never be any touch inputs.

Sorry but i don't speak English, anyway...
You can use gravity box with Xposed
In lockscreen tweaks, enable / disable emergency call.

Any way to lock screen phone buttons?

Is there a way to lock onscreen phone buttons?
Everytime someone calls, and diamond is in my pocket I either accept or reject call when trying to get it out of pocket.
So can I dectivate touch screen during incoming call?
Is there any tweak for this?
Greets guys
dont own a diamond but a quickfix...get bigger jeans.
No way... too big balls will bounce
resolved!!!
the fastest way to solve your problem is to install s2u2 (slide to unlock) newest version is 1.05 what i know...
so with the right settings when incoming call, you'll need to slide then answer/reject call or setup slide to answer or other.
its great i LOVE IT..
I just installed it... then uninstalled it 5 mins later because it looks GHASTLY!!
To lock the touch screen buttons you simply hold down the End Call button for a few seconds. Or is it the physical buttons that you're trying to lock?
You didn't get it
I want touch screen buttons to be locked DURING incoming call to be sure i wont press them when trying to put it out of pocket.
Even if diamond is locked, when phonecall screen appears, those buttons are ACTIVE and that is baaaaad
and S2U2.... doesn't work!!!
When incoming call, original diamond call screen appears and buttons are ACTIVE - su2u DOES NOT lock device during the call although there's option called 'slide to answer'

You are right: I do not get you.
At least I do not see your point. You want to have the phone locked during incoming calls? - how senseless is that. Especially in that moment I want to have it unlocked to be able to accept it. That is the way all my phones worked.
What do you do, if you get a call and have a your cell in the pocket? I never encountered such problems...
Jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz !!!
In Diamond one can answer a call in two ways:
1. press onscreen button
2. press hardware button
Onscreen button can be pressed accidentaly while taking out of pocket, pouch or whatever.
So: All i want is to have onscreen buttons INACTIVE while hardware buttons ACTIVE so I can answer call ONLY by pressing answer HARDWARE button.
Tapping onscreen button will do NO ACTION.
Hope now everything is clear, cause my english isn't very good
^^and you made a joke when i offered my quick fix =P
I have the same problem that by the time I get the case out of the case i find that I accidently answered or hung up because I accidentaly touched the screen,I tried slide to answer but it is not working properly on the Diamond
This would be helpful, I have the same problem sometimes.
I'll look for a registry setting.
s2u2 not working?????
if its bad, ugly, or something, put an self image as backgruond, maybee that would cheer u up, im using version 1.00 that dosent got the slide to answer working good(beta), so i turned it of, then it worked great and i can still use hardware buttuns to answer, and if u dont like the apperence just remove background an d remove clock, all thats left is a black screen and the slider...
This thing with enabled screen answer/ignore buttons pisses me off too... May be we can install a new dialler without screen buttons?
Really no one cares?

i don't think it's about anyone caring. i think it's about the diamond being a new device and no one having the tricks/tips/tweaks yet. patience
I understand that. But if nobody care about an issue no one will look for the solution. I would install another dialer but i do not know how to uninstall the existing one.

Be great if you (or anyone else?) could find a hack for this - I have the same problem when taking the phone out of the case. It would solve my (our) problem if only the hardware buttons could answer/reject an incoming call.
Regards,
Gary.
Since nobody answered this thread anymore... Did someone find out? Or did you give up?
I need this badly, stupid on screen buttons always go off
I had the same problem but after i did this I had no problem anymore.
The answer button in default phone skin(WM6) is much smaller so the risk of accidentally reject or answer the call is not so high.

Pocket Dialing again :(

Just got the diamond2 and am loving it. Came from the touch pro. Problem is I have been pocket dialing while its in my leather case. This is not good, as I am a real estate salesperson and it is calling some important people. Does anyone have a solution? BTW, I was using touch lock pro on the touch pro.
Thanks!
hi lorettaboy
you should lock the kets by holding the end call button for a few seconds and that should sort your problem out
I forget what it's called but there is this locking software that will completely lock the phone if you rotate it around the long axis one way and unlock if you do the same the other way.
I have been using throttle lock though. It is like the Android unlock screen where you draw patterns.
If u press the power on/off button for a second, the screen goes off.....isnt it ok to avoid your problem?

I think what may be happening is that the power button is being pressed while in the case unlocking the phone and keys. I had this happen before and still does sometimes when in my pocket.
4 characters: S2U2
Hoping wm6.5 features a lock that's as functional as S2U2.
I personally use http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/ It locks your phone when its closed, and you have different ways to 'wake' it. the 3 that I set it currently is:
1. if the phone is in the case (aka dark) it will not unlock even if phone is ringing, but once you remove it from the sleeve/pouch it will be unlocked.
2. If its night time and the above prevents you from unlocking in the night, shaking phone left to right once will unlock it
3. lastly if I take out stylus it will unlock.

Googled it, light sensor lock sounded interesting, tested it. Never got the light sensor unlock to work. Had to keep tapping the lock button for a varying number of times to unlock. But worse: got catch-22-ed twice within ten minutes.
The first time I got caught with the screen on, the 'turn off' dialog active, and Touch lock Pro active but not clickable because of the turn off dialog. No way to unlock the device and the power button was hijacked by Touch Lock Pro. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
The second time the device locked with the screen off, and the power button couldn't turn the screen on again. No way to find out what happened this time. Removed back cover, took out battery and restarted.
This tool is possibly the least compatible tool with the TD2 you will ever find

Camera taking hundreds of photos in my pocket!

This is driving me crazy!
I've set the Z3 Compact to tap to wake - a feature I like very much - but I'll often pull out the phone to see that it's taken loads of pictures of my pocket. And my pocket really isn't that interesting.
I've tried changing the password from a pattern to a PIN thinking that maybe I was somehow unlocking it that way, but I figure I must somehow be knocking the camera icon on the lock screen and it seems the only way I can remove that from the lock screen also stops the physical button working too.
So has anyone any ideas on how can I fix this and (a) keep the physical camera button working and (b) keep using tap to lock? Thanks.
Are you locking the phine pefore putting it in your pocket or just letting it sleep?
I had mine set to lock 30 seconds after pressing the side button to sleep it and was ending up with pocket texting and calls and pictures. Set it to lock instantly with button press and have not had any issues. Maintained 30 seconds after sleep for regylar locking.

You are probably hitting the dedicated camera button on something. A full depression will wake the phone and the next one will take a picture. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked etc.
try to disable the dedicate button for camera.. in camera options
As suggested here deactivate waking up the camera with the dedicated camera button. I had that problem to until i deactivated that.

[Q] Screen off during call, but responsive

Hello guys, I have a problem with my htc m7. During calls, the screen goes off (normally, because of the proximity sensor), but remains responsive. That means I can press accidentally on the end call button, or home button, or any other button for that matter, on screen and capacitive keys.
Now, so you guys don't say that I haven't looked into this, I think I know the trouble maker. I downloaded an app called Gravity Screen so when my phone is in my pocket (upside down and facing the leg), I don't get accidental pocket dials, or when the phone rings, I don't accidentally answer or decline. These pocket dials and answers or rejects happen because I turned off the lockscreen and I have swipe to unlock enabled. Turning off lockscreen means that when someone calls me and the phone is locked, the answer screen is like when the phone was on, meaning buttons for answer/decline instead of the lockscreen swipe to answer/decline, so it's easy for my leg to touch one of the buttons.
This app, Gravity Screen, locks my screen when it's rotated for more than 60 degrees and proximity is detected. Also, the app is allowed to run during calls (because I want it to block my leg dials and answers/rejects). But I think that the app and the stock proximity screen off do not agree to each other, so when I am in a call, even though my screen turns black, it is not actually locked, so every touch is registered.
Finally, my question is: can I do something so this app doesn't conflict with the call screen proximity off? Or is there another app that does what I want, without interfering with the stock proximity features?
I am running ARHD 84 with ElementalX 18, kitkat 4.4.3, sense 6.
Anyone?

Why not simply using pocket detection feature of elementalX and get rid of your app that is in conflict when in call?
Im using double tap to wake + pocket detection and my phone never turns on when in my pocket and no input registered when in call.

I turned on the pocket detection in ElementalX, the phone doesn't wake up in pocket, but when someone calls me and the phone is in my pocket, the screen turns on. This app I have doesn't allow the screen to turn on even when someone calls

Pocket dialing

Whats the best way you have found to prevent pocket dialing? Ive turned ambient display off and have to use a patern to unlock now. It the only way Ive been able to stop it. It works but I dont like not being able to use ambient display and I also dont like how long it take to open the phone with the pattern.
Any ideas?

Well, other than the obvious, don't put it in your pocket pattern, pin, password is the answer. Ambient display can be turned back on with a screen lock set. Or set screen lock to swipe. That might be a help. Or possibly a flip case.
Enable the Smart Lock feature under Settings->Security. Then set up a trusted Bluetooth device (wearable, etc.) paired with the phone to bypass the screen lock when in range. I use a Motorola Keylink on the key chain in my pocket.
Then, before putting the phone in your pocket, touch the Power button to turn off the screen. To turn it on again, while connected to your trusted Smart Lock device, you merely have to swipe the screen after touching the Power key.
even with a pin on my phone i sometimes pocket dial... only happened like 2 or 3 times in the 4 months ive had the phone. somehow it pulled up the emergency dialer.

I never add emergency contacts because this kept happening. No emergency contacts + some kind of lock is the best solution. I just write an emergency phone number to contact in the "Owner Info" in settings, so an emergency phone number shows up on the lock screen in case I ever lose my phone, and someone finds it and plans to return it.

i dont have emergency contacts either. what im saying is on my lock screen it brings up the dial pad and half the time its selected the emergency dialer at the bottom of the pin screen.

I'm guessing you have a pattern as your unlock method, so the emergency dialer is always at the bottom as soon as the screen turns on.
Try changing it to a PIN, so you have swipe up first, and then the emergency dialer/PIN screen come up.

no like i said i have a pin as my lock screen challenge. somehow the phone manages to swipe up the dialer or the unlock button and then pulls up the emergency dialer and start tapping numbers.
Same issue here, whether i have pattern or pin its still managed to unlock phone and pocket dial from the emergency dialler. I did have my pebble watch in smart unlock, this did all manner of things from video call the missus to change settings and force me to restore rom as i couldnt work out the issues.
I have a flip case that i really do not want to use as phone is big enough, ambient display on or off it still does it!
