OnePlus 5 user dials 911, the phone reboots (Update: not just OnePlus)
6
OnePlus has issued an official statement on the matter, which reads:
We have contacted the customer and are currently looking into the issue. We ask anyone experiencing a similar situation to contact us at support@oneplus.net
While knowing that you can connect to 911 when needed is certainly a must, we would advise against randomly going off and dialing the emergency hotline. If you insist on checking if your phone is fine, see if you can call your police department's non-emergency phone, explain the issue, and ask when it would be a good time for them for a test call. Either that or wait for OnePlus to post an update on the matter, or ask support if it's fixed after some time.
Update: Since this has become a hotly discussed issue on Reddit, a bunch of users have chimed in, claiming that it's also a problem for many Asus ZenFone units and possibly other Android devices. The issue seems to stem from custom manufacturer dialers not "talking" well with Android's native phone framework.
