Cell phone just had a heart attack

[Sh4d0wD3v1L]

So my day started off very .... interesting.

My phone was charging like usual, I was sleeping. It chimes because I got a text. Before I can read the text, my phone starts ringing. I look to see who it is, because people know not to call me before 2 (this is noon) and it's a private caller. I decide to answer.

Me: "Hello?"
Operator: "Hello, this is the Washington County Sheriff's department, and we're calling because your phone contacted 911. Is there an emergency?"
Me: "No, I've been sleeping..."
Operator: "Okay, well you might have bumped the phone or something, so please be more careful with that."
Me: "Okay ... bye..."

That was weird. I don't know how it happened but whatever. No mroe than 5 minutes later, rings again. Private caller.

Me: "Hello?"
Operator: "Hello, this is the Washington County Sheriff's department, and we're calling because your phone contacted 911. Is there an emergency?"
Me: "No, I haven't touched my phone."
Operator: "Okay, well just checking please be careful."
Me: "Okay thanks, bye."

So I go downstairs to tell my mom that apparently I've called 911 twice in 5 minutes. My "dialed" list shows nothing since yesterday. Odd. I unplugged my phone and texted it, nothing happened. Randomly, phone rings again, same situation, same convo. Plug phone in, text it, and 911 calls me again.

Me: "Hello?"
Operator: "Hello, this is the Washington County Sheriff's department, and we're calling because your phone contacted 911. Is there an emergency?"
Me: "No, I'm terribly sorry, but my phone is messed up, and keeps calling 911 while it's charging and gets a text."
Operator: (frustrated) "Well maybe you should turn off your phone while it's charging so this doesn't happen again."
Me: "It's not my fault, I'm sorry, I'm going to get it fixed now."
Operator: "Okay, bye now."

I went to the store, and told them about this.

Me: "I have a serious problem with my phone."
Guy: "What's that?"
Me: "When my phone is charging and receives a text I dial 911."
Guy: "Oh wow. That is a serious problem."

He called tech support, who had also never heard of this problem, but power cycling the phone by taking out the battery fixed the problem ... I hope.

tl;dr : My phone dialed 911 4 times in 20 minutes because it was charging and got texts.
