My Realme X2 (Android 11) phone, being a little old, when I press the power button, it gets pressed multiple times. I know this is a hardware issue, but I'd still like to get rid of emergency calls.

The disable app option is disabled and removing permissions does nothing.

Is there any way I can do it with ADB? I'm not planning on rooting this one yet.

  • I didn't find a solution, but things got annoying, so I rooted and reverted to Android 10. Victory is mine! :) – 44yu5h Jul 21 '23 at 05:03

I'm looking for a better solution for this myself, for now, the best I could do (on Android 13) was change the number it calls. For me, emergency # is 911, so I changed this to just "0". So even if it triggers accidentally, at least it doesn't call an actual "911" number.

  • You can remap the power button only after rooting or even just delete the emergency SOS app. Apart from these, I don't see a way out. – 44yu5h Jul 27 '23 at 14:34
  • I found an alternative solution using ADB from Reddit. Could you try it and let me know if it works? – Andrew T. Jul 27 '23 at 17:25

For Realme devices, according to multiple Reddit users on r/Realme - Emergency SOS, the Emergency SOS app can be disabled by using ADB without the need for rooting:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oppo.sos
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oplus.sos

(the package name should be either one of them depending on the device model)
