If you put your screen against your body on the a 15, it will wake up and attempt to call 911 or any of your contacts.  God help you if it unlocks. I've had it changed. The settings on Google Maps its own settings.

 And just do a bunch of random stuff. Don't what it on the internet

Your a15 is suffering and needs a ambulance. But seriously, I know it may not sound related but try to disable SOS side button because if it gets pressed than It calls the cops.

My phone was in my pocket while I was on a walk, and bam, it decided to call the emergency services 3 times! It's SO annoying. I'm really hoping the cops don't show up now! I quickly went through the settings on my phone it might help if you turn off double tap to turn on screen, touch sensitivity and accidental touch protection, you can just search all of those in settings to find them.

Go to Safety and emergency settings/emergency SOS and either enable a countdown and alarm or require swipe to call. And, for goodness sake, take your phone out of your pocket and get a holster or looser pants and a case. Emergency SOS cannot be disabled, but you can take some control over it.

Mine does not do that. Contact Samsung customer support by phone.

The Emergency SOS is a feature of the phone, on by default and cannot be disabled or turned off. You can mitigate accidental activations by changing the settings to enable the alarm and require the swipe to activate. It can most certainly be activated accidentally in a pocket or purse, since the activation is 5 rapid presses of the the side button. There is also no way to remap the activation. So, if someone has the phone in their pocket and their pants are tightish and do not have a case which makes the buttons slightly harder to push, leg movement most certainly can cause the button to be continually pressed and released. The phone is set to automatically dial 911 (unless one chose a different number) and any contacts designated as emergency contacts.
