Cool, maybe they can fix emergency calling sometime in that seven year window? https://www.androidauthority.com/psa-google-pixel-911-emergency-calling-issues-33

that was incredible embarrassing. I remember it was the end of December, and they said "it won't be in the January update. Just wait until February" I cannot imagine Apple doing that.

  "Was"? You mean "is". The issue is still ongoing for many people.

  Apple has had some equally frustrating and embarrassing misses in their time. No manufacturer is 100%.

  Apple also failed emergency call (with a eSIM situation) and took three month to fix in Japan (where iPhone takes half of market share). https://asahi-net.jp/en/news/20211105_01.html https://asahi-net.jp/en/news/20211105_01.html https://www.kobonemi.com/entry/2021/12/16/iPhone-%E6%8A%80%E9%81%A9%E4%B8%8D%E9%81%A9%E5%90%88 https://www.kobonemi.com/entry/2021/12/16/iPhone-%E6%8A%80%E...

FTFA: > The issue was traced to Microsoft Teams I want to know how a crappy app from Microsoft can break the dialer on my phone. What the hell?

  The recent issue (from the last two years) does not appear to be Teams-related. The Teams thing was from the first wave of emergency call failures, which was traced to a bad interaction between Teams and the Android dialer.

    Seems the newer issue would be dialer related as well then. I have several apps with their own dialers on my phone... I just never realized they could break the system dialer in such a way.

  Any app can register as a call app. Which Teams does since it supports VoIP calls. The issue is the pixel/aosp dialer framework tries the apps first for emergency calls instead of going straight for cellular. I say Pixel/AOSP because I’m not sure if it’s prevalent in AOSP since other Android phones have had the same issue but nowhere near the same scale.
