> I can't turn it off and it was always from a locked screen, I think it's a legal requirement

But my question was: what is the it that your phone has? I don't have such a button on my lock screen. There's a camera and a flashlight shortcut (too few shortcuts for my liking but better than bare android with zero shortcuts)

There is a large button underneath the number pad where you enter your PIN and it says Emergency Call. It works even when the SIM is still locked.

  • Ah, right yes that makes sense. I don't want to bother with entering a password on a device I use dozens of times a day so never set one, that explains why I don't see such a button: people can just get to the dialer if they need to call a number while I'm incapacitated
