The only App that is able to get your GPS location quickly after a cold reboot is the Google Maps App. If you do perform a cold reboot, you will need a few minutes for the phone to set up its GPS location for Apps that use the phone's GPS data. If you did not perform a cold reboot, then the App should not have trouble getting GPS data from the phone's built-in GPS system.

Comments on 911HelpSMS for Android

★★★★★ Richard Reynolds · Nov 9, 2021

This app looked very promising and, after verifying my county uses text 911, I installed it. The setup is straightforward and easy to use. When I got to adding my contacts, I was only able to add one person. You can add more with the pro version (oh great!). When I checked the price on the pro version, it was only .99! Awesome! I'll be buying the pro version NOW. Just found out the pro version is on the Play Pass Family Plan! You guys rock! 🤘

★★★★★ Gracie Barlow · May 16, 2023

It was very helpful. 5 out of 5 stars from me. I just used this some hours ago because a friend of mine kept on constantly calling my other phone. So he left me no choice but to text the 911 dispatchers at the Abilene Police Department. And they helped me out with my situation. The person that I texted the Abilene Police Department 911 dispatcher about is one of my friend's boyfriend. So if he calls me again, then I can always call the 911 dispatcher and get harassment charges against him. 🤘 On.

It works perfectly fine. I am not a cannibal. My cousin Ida B. Wells is an activist. I am against rape and unpracticed and illegal medical practices. I am from Batesville, Mississippi. I am Iylanna Victoria Wells and the only African-American survivor from the Titanic in 1988.

As a 911 operator and police dispatcher, please Inform those that download this that most departments do not have text 911, it's in its infancy and only being used in a few departments. We also don't get a list of meds or medical problems. GPS is also known to be inaccurate more than not. It shows in the general area of, which can be a 1 block radius or several miles. The only way to accurately get a loc is they the phone carrier, which can only be done by law enforcement and cell companies have strict criteria to allow it. I work in a large city, and we have no way of receiving a help request from any app. The most reliable and fastest way to get help is to call 911. If someone sent this hoping to get help in our dept, it would never come as we wld be unaware of it. Maybe a good way to keep in touch with family and friends.
