Concerns about 911 (and equivalent) with WiFi calling

I'll take my iPhone to the United Kingdom for a few months and then Israel.  Roaming charges 'works' are crazy, so I'm leaning toward disabling homelessness and by using the Wifi calling feature, because I have Wifi most of the time almost every day.

What worries me and I wonder if others share it: If a person has a heart attack on the sidewalk next to me, I needed to go to the options, re - activate roaming (three or four clicks...), wait for it to connect and then try to remember versions UK or Israel of 911 (for someone who is curious the United Kingdom uses 999 for ambulances, but the 112 for fire and other emergency situations; Israel uses 100/101/102 (police/ambulance/fire brigade), but in theory, they are also used for 911 112 or even, as we do in the United States).

Why isn't Apple just automate all this?

At the present time their Wifi calling already wants to keep me my updated location.  Instead, they might have an option "use Wifi with the exception of emergency situations, wandering around in case of emergency only".  So, if I'm in the United Kingdom and call 911, they may have a version of homelessness that ONLY uses the roaming network for 911 calls and automatically use the right number of premises too.  So I would use Wifi roaming, that emergency calls would actually work without messing with the options tabs and waiting to reassign to a local provider of the phone company.  The phone would actually get on the go, but would not accept incoming calls or send outgoing calls on the roaming provider: he would use Wifi calling for that and for texting and would only use the mobile carrier for 911).

To clarify:

National emergency services number of the United Kingdom is 999 - including to call police, fire and ambulance.

If you prefer, 112 can be made instead to the United Kingdom for the same purpose (112 can be used throughout the EU).

  • monitor_contended_enter and monitor_contended_entered with JNIEvn calls

    I tried to develop monitor_contended_enter and monitor_contended_entered by injecting the Wait () and java notify() methods. The idea is when monitor_contended_enter arrives, the monitor earlier titles call wait(). The monitor released and other threads can get it. Once the other 'get it' son, who ideally is the triggered monitor_contended_entered, I use JNIEnv to notifyAll() on objects pending, include I just called wait() previously. The wait () is perfectly fine, even with notifyAll in the java class. But the problem is when a notifyAll() call JNIEnv, a willingness to "a fatal error has been detected by the Java runtime environment" occur. I imagine that the "registered" event happens too early, that the JVM has not maintain wait under its mechanism State. Any help can share with me will be great! Thanks in advance.

  • 6 sec more wifi calling problem

    Hello

    I hope someone can offer a solution for the problem I have with wifi-calling.  I would try to explain the problem.   When connected to wifi, when I get a call I hear the first notes of the ring... then stops immediately and I see 1 missed call, then on the second ring once more I heard the first note of the ring, then the phone displays 2 missed calls, that this continues with each ring until the caller hangs up.  Now, it happens not every time, but enough times to be a problem.  Initially, I contacted Apple and worked with a SR. Tech.  Apple has agreed this was a problem (I was at the Genius bar and the technician was able to experience the problem I had).  Apple has agreed to Exchange my phone.  I have install new phone, then restored my content.  Once more, I have the same problem.

    Now my wife and all two got the same phone iPhone 6s more 16 G using the AT & T network.  It's nothing wrong with wifi calling.  My thought is that maybe there is an application that is the cause of the problem, but don't know if this is possible.  I tried to google my problem but couldn't find anything which apply.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you, Ken

  • Problems with WiFi from Toshiba and their lack of support - you're not alone

    For those of you out there problems with WiFi on a Toshiba laptop, you're certainly not alone.

    Over the past years, I have noticed a growing number of different brands and models of computers laptop toshiba and laptops with the same problem.
    Last year, 100% of the toshibas that came in my workshop have had this problem, it is about 75% of the laptops that I fixed.

    These models have all hardware wifi (Agere, Intel and Realtek)

    The wifi switch is on, on the same computer, some programs to detect as being market, others see it as extinct.
    What, it doesn't connect to a same wireless router when used to.

    Responses of toshiba were the usual non-professional form response from: it must be the router, try to flip the switch, you have updated the bios?, update the drivers et al.

    It is a software problem, and given the number of people on this forum talking about the same issue, it's a great.

    Often, I came across the issue of windows for communication services wireless disabled by software of Toshiba and I believe, that it is a conflict between tosh software and various other (zone alarm, windows and al.)

    In some cases, the software seems to intervene and to corrupt the OS from windows drivers and interfere with their implementation and enforcement, which is worrying, the software doesn't have to touch all areas. (if not, what is the point of a BONE in layers)

    I sometimes managed to force to work (for example manually restart the services), but these solutions are not a "clean way" of doing things.

    The most reliable way to solve this problem seems to be, backup your data and reformat back to the manufacturer's specifications, and then immediately uninstall the software from toshiba and update the drivers terribly old (even those on the site are about one year more up-to-date for the model I'm working currently on.) Unfortunately most of my clients is companies that need a LOT of data stored in different saved locations, then a ton of programs specialized to be reinstalled, which is slow and costly.

    Message from TOSHIBA:
    Please make it a sticky in this forum for all the REAL solutions, not one of the threads that I watched with your suggestions has been resolved.

    If there is little no support for your products in this regard, I will contact the ACCC, choices, and associations of trade fair with an open letter that I ask all customers affected to sign, and I will put a national call for people with the same problem to come forward.

    I would like to ask also if you encounter a problem where your wifi stopped working and it does not detect or work, please just post "bump" under here so that we can keep way reasonably clutter free.

    I used to recommend Toshiba and Asus for laptops, now, this list is one.

    You can do what you want but as mentioned above; WiFi problems are not specific to a laptop manufactures, you'll notice WLan issues on computers (laptops, desktops computers) all manufactured products.
    I had 4 different books of four various manufacturers and ALL had problems of WiFi, but most problems could be solved by the driver update, change, or reset of the router are.

  • X131e - Questions about SSD and wifi LED

    I want to buy a soon while they are reduced. I'm curious to know if, as there is no option of customization, it will be easy/possible to upgrade the 7200 RPM HDD for a SSD?

    Also I keep reading on the wifi has led as a feature, but see I'll buy it for the exterior of the school is really not. Is it possible to disable? I guess that's not a major drawback, but I've yet to see, so it is

    You should be able to replace the standard with a SSD HARD drive. Make sure you get a drive that is 7 mm thick. Former readers of 9.5 mm, without doubt, be good.

    Either way, you can put the original HARD drive in a SATA enclosure and connect it to your X131e via USB as a backup device.

    I'm not sure I understand your concern about the WiFi LED, but if you want to remove the light just paste a small piece of insulation tape black on it. If the issue that the light is too bright, you can probably find a movie broadcaster to stick on it will ease.

  • BlackBerry App investigating the classic BlackBerry, T-Mobile and the WiFi calling app

    I am looking for on this forum after being (possibly) achieved through BlackBerry World (located here, so you can make reference to what I'm going to talk: https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/35524900 ) this app is marked as 'BlackBerry Lmtd' being the developer, that's why it is implicit that BlackBerry updates to this app and is responsible for its support. I am at this point, after trying (for weeks) to find how this whole process of WiFi calling went down, I was told by T-Mobile at the level executive response that BlackBerry was next to insider support. In its current form the above application currently supports only prior 2 BB10 peripheral T-Mobile, the Q10 and Z10. Despite the classic hit the shelves of T-Mobile, despite the fact that T-Mobile as well as the TWO classic BlackBerry supports WiFi called, it seems to come down to this app gets an update. I write here wondering if there is information about the status of this application as well as the support with regard to devices. Will be it be updated to include the classic? Is this a known issue? Is this really T-Mobile app? Just anything, any kind of transparency or tiny tidbit of information be always so would appreciate! If anyone has information or can better direct me on where to take my survey, I am more than happy to wait for your answers! Thank you for your time.

    That's the beauty of this site... we do not work for carriers, nor for the BB. So, we can be truly independent and share more that they would be allowed to share. But, keep in mind that everything we know is therefore not official (unless it is a public site, such as the database of BB KB). We are sure that we are right on these points, but being not "in it", we can't know with 100% certainty.

    You're most welcome and good luck!

  • WiFi calling is not available using 5 c with AT &amp; T

    In this article, I see that may be called wifi work on models 5 c and later. AT & T tells me that they do not block this feature.

    What could stop this option to appear?  Is it not possible that my phone does not support wifi calling for some reason, such as suggested by the representative of AT & T?

    AT & T chat transcript:

    Mauricio: Your phone is not up-to-date

    Dan: Yes. Has even put in yesterday. 9.3.5, I think

    Mauricio: I see
    Mauricio: If the phone options does not show wifi calling, we cannot operate
    Mauricio: I was reading the article of the Apple
    Mauricio: The option should be there

    Dan: That's what I thought. Maybe AT & T stops to appear?

    Mauricio: oh no all Dan
    Mauricio: We cannot change the phone options
    Mauricio: If it were possible, you will see the option and trying to turn it will be a message & TT

    Dan: I saw on an att site that support is granted to the iPhone 6 and more. He did not say the 5 c, but this seems to be the case.

    Mauricio: I'm sure that the newer models available factory option, in fact I had an iphone 6 and the option was there to factory default
    Mauricio: I didn't communicate with anyone to activate
    Mauricio: in this case it might be possible that your phone does not support wifi calling for some reason any
    Mauricio: This is a free service and we do not limit it

    Dan: Maybe it's. Thanks for your help.

    Make sure that you don't actually have an iPhone 5 c
