Hope an ota will fix this...
Already rolled out. It was ready for me this morning and just installed it about 5 minutes ago.

They needed to.I'm actually impressed that they worked so diligently and got a fix out that quickly.
They needed to.
I can rest easy now.
Yeah, that's weird.What of the phandroid report of it being a wider issue, though?
Nobody bought a Zenfone, but if the GS7 is really affected that could be a problem...
Someone needs to get to the bottom of whether this is actually an AOSP problem.
I dunno... To be honest I suspect trolling. I suspect it's someone on Reddit trying to get people to make bogus emergency calls for Lulz.
If it is true it'd be pretty bad, although as long as it works with 0118 999 881999119 725 ... 3 (the UK emergency services number) I'm fine personally haha.
Also if it's true, I hope this person has actually contacted Oneplus and not just started a damn Reddit thread...
OnePlus has issued a software update that fixes the 911 issue that some OnePlus 5 users were reportedly experiencing earlier this week.
"We have begun rolling out the software update. Timing may vary by region,” a OnePlus representative said in a statement to The Verge. “We encourage OnePlus 5 users to download the update. If users haven't received a notification, check for the update by going to “Settings” > “System Updates.”
How is someone on reddit baiting them into it when One Plus themselves has acknowledge the issue on their forum? Sorry but you aren't making much sense.
Especially after this -- https://www.theverge.com/circuitbre...plus-5-software-update-911-reboot-issue-fixed.
Because at the time I wrote that comment, Oneplus hadn't publicly confirmed anything, that verge article didn't exist, and the update that you'd see I have received if you read into this thread hadn't been written, let alone pushed out to phones.
You... DO understand how linear time works? lol
In all of honesty, when people do 911 test calls, they usually inform their local PD first to let them know ahead of time."man, this issue is scary, better check my phone works..."
*Dials 911*
"Hello, nine one one what's your emergency?"
"Uh, I don't have one..."
"Then why did you dial nine one one sir?"
"Um... Reddit told me..."
"Sir, are you aware that it's a federal offence to falsely call the emergency services, you're endangering people's lives and safety."

So as long as it's just to test whether your phone is able to reach an operator, you should be okay.
I believe that this is a real issue with the One plus 5. Read this article from android central: OnePlus is looking into potential OnePlus 5 '911 reboot' issue https://www.androidcentral.com/oneplus-looking-potential-oneplus-5-911-reboot-issue

Reddit user Nick Morrelli noticed the glitch after he tried to call 911 to report a building fire in Seattle, and other users have reported that the OnePlus 5 is unable to dial 911 (or 999 in the UK, as another user reported) without rebooting. While most users haven’t reported having the issue, any percentage of devices not being able to reach emergency services is a major issue for OnePlus.
