H8 - Disable redial

7 replies

The redial function is high-accessibility (just a double tap) for a feature that I consider an edge case (redialing my last number dialed when listening to music). And it's a little too easy to accidentally activate.

Is there anyway to disable this? Or re-assign it to a different gesture?

Thanks.

I agree completely, B&O needs to give us a way to disable this.

I have accidentally called clients multiple times. It is embarrassing for such a high end product.

For who is redial a use-case???

My preference would be for the B&O team to turn the Updater App into a configuration app, we can switch off or map our gestures as we like.

Yes I agree with you, that is a b***s***t of feature, so tired to redial accidently someone.

At least need to have an option to disable it, but that could be better to choose. I would like Siri 🙂

I agree totally. I have been calling people by mistake many times. Sometimes even strong winds activate calls because the touchpad is quite easy to activate. It is very, very annoying. I just want Siri (or Google Now if youre on android) no dialing).

For android users, there's an app called "smart Bluetooth headset" that will allow this function to be re-mapped...

I don't own an iPhone so I haven't looked into whether there is anything similar available for ios.
