I think the call with Side button isn’t a bad idea since it allows easy triggering of a 9 1 1 call and if auto dial is off you still have to confirm.

This is a feature on Samsung phones, and I actually do find it quite
useful. I can have my S7 sitting on it's wireless charging stand, and

I wanted to get my Christmas lights up on a 25 foot tall spruce tree
in my front yard before it was full of snow which at this time of the
year can happen any time. I left my staff at my store since it wasn’t
so busy and went home, but while I was up on the ladder I knew I might
not be able to or want to answer a call so I put in my headset and set
the phone to auto answer after 5 seconds.

RE: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is!
That would be one feature I don’t think I would ever use and one I had never even thought about. If I have to push and hold the home button and then say “SIRI, answer the call” or evenjust “Answer” I might as well just double tap with 2 finger to answer and if I wear a headset I already have a button I can press to answer. I guess the only exception to this would be if it worked just on device without interaction similar to how it is with a number of Plantronics headsets where when the phone rings you can simply say “Answer”. This would mean as soon as the phone rings SIRI would need to be listening for the word “Answer” or “Ignore”. If I am doing something like cooking where I may have dirty hands I can always turn on auto answer. Yesterday we had a nice sunny day and I wanted to get my Christmas lights up on a 25 foot tall spruce tree in my front yard before it was full of snow which at this time of the year can happen any time.

I called 911 when I was setting up my iPhone 8. I put it in the case
while the phone was on and it pressed the power and volume buttons at
the same time in the process of doing that. You need to go into settings
and emergency SOS. Turn off the auto dial feature so that you have to
confirm if you want to call 911. Otherwise it will auto dial in five
seconds if you ever press those two buttons again.

Hi Mary and all,
Finally I got my phone working.
I went to the apple store and they gave me a new phone. They
tried to restore my iPhone several times and it remained stuck in
the same place I saw in my home when I tried to set it up.
The technician did not want to waste too much time. She gave me a
new phone. The new one works seamlessly. The only mistake I made
is to dial 911 by mistake. I still do not know what I did exactly
to make such a mistake, but I hope I won’t do it again.
As far as the transfer of my apps and keyboards, everything went well.
Cheers,

Pressing one of the volume buttons with the side button will bring up the power off screen. Just don’t hold of him too long, or I guess it will dial 911 which you don’t want.

Right Maria, RI think that is what I did when it dialed 911. I thought pressing one of the volume buttons with the side button would bring up the turn off screen, but instead it dialed 911. How does one turn the phone off then? Pressing the side button alone brings SIRI.

In iOS 12, hitting the power button 5 times quickly does the emergency SOS and calls 911 and anyone else you set up as emergency contacts.

I’m glad everything worked out for you and AN, Chris. What a mess. Hopefully, there are too many experiences happening like that around the world. I really like this new phone.

RE: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is!
Hi Mary and all, Finally I got my phone working. I went to the apple store and they gave me a new phone. They tried to restore my iPhone several times and it remained stuck in the same place I saw in my home when I tried to set it up. The technician did not want to waste too much time. She gave me a new phone. The new one works seamlessly. The only mistake I made is to dial 911 by mistake. I still do not know what I did exactly to make such a mistake, but I hope I won’t do it again. As far as the transfer of my apps and keyboards, everything went well.

Re: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is!
Wow, Chris! What a hassle! I certainly hope they get this sorted for you. Mary PS do you use the Arabic keyboard on your phone? If you do, I will be very curious how that transfer works for you, since my second language keyboard is no where and evidence, although it is said to be so into settings. That switch were you switch from one keyboard to another while in it and it is simply not there.

RE: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is!
Oh my, yes, if one can get a phone to a store, those guys live to make phones
do whatever we want them to do. They usually can do it in a flash.
That is what I told my cousin last year, when she finally broke down and took
her phone to the AT&T store, and she said, like magic, the guy got her phone
tip top.

Carolyn

Are you running the latest version of iTunes? I’m not sure if that’s a
problem, but it might be. I know there have been issues in the past where you
had to have your iTunes up to a certain level for things to work life. I can’t
get the Quickstart to work either, and it is frustrating. I know my old iPhone
is running the latest and greatest. But I suppose if the new iPhone isn’t, like
maybe it’s on iOS 12.0, that might be the problem. Do you have an iCloud back

RE: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is!
Yes, I checked and I have the latest version of iTunes. What is mind bugling to me is that the recovery does not work either. When I do the recovery I am in the same place. iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode, enter the passcode and try again, and I have the cancel or try again choices. The apple website says to do recovery mode, hit volume up quickly then volume down quickly then press and keep pressing the side key until the iphone restarts and puts you in recovery mode. Is there another way of doing that?

I can’t enter any passcodes. When I swipe up to upgrade as voice over tells me, voice over dies. When I brought a sighted person to enter the passcode, the phone was not responding. I only need to wipe it clean now. I can’t even do that.
