- jkaplowitz 7y agoMaybe a good fix for this edge-case scenario would be an optional feature to normally refrain from connecting to the networks (i.e. airplane mode) but to override that and connect straightaway when an emergency call is placed?
- jki275 7y agoI believe if you’ve turned off the phone radio (airplane mode), that should not be the case.
- jascii 7y agoThis would be true assuming the phone has not previously been compromised. Not a safe assumption considering baseband backdoors have been found in the wild and are suspected to be fairly wide spread. https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungGalaxyBackdoor https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/Samsung...
