Hey guys im getting a bunch of weird EMERGENCY ALERTS to my phone. The message sender "Sever Alerts" is highlighted in blue under messaging and a crazy alarm type ringtone sounds.
The text message reads: flash flood warning this area til 6 PM PDT. avoid flood areas. check local media. -nws
I have gotten 3 so far today and the weird thing is that theres blue skies all day in San Diego.
Anyone else experience this?
You have a weather app in installed.. either edit the alerts sent to your notifications from within the app or uninstall it.

In the stock messaging app, go to settings and scroll to the bottom. There's an option to disable emergency alerts.

Not sure why you would receive false emergency alerts, but I wouldn't disable it. Never know when there's a freak weather system out, I think thats a great concept that the local/national weather service to issue alerts via text messages.
I didn't mind when I got them.. It's not like you will receive them all the time but its good to be informed of severe weather in your area..

This. Found that out after almost getting fired when this went off in a meeting at work. I fiddled with it for almost 10 minutes until I found this.

First rule: Always toggle mute/vibrate when you don't want your phone interrupting..
Although, I can't help but laugh at what the expressions on everyone's faces in that room would've looked like with that unique alert going off.. LOL!!

Are you still having the reboot issue? I'm still on build 40 and having the issue and I don't want to waste my time flashing M6 if it is still an issue.....
Yes, I looked at the change log and unless I'm not looking hard enough, I couldn't find anything
Sent from my SGH-I727 using XDA Premium App
Haven't had it yet. Also, I don't know if it was just me but on build 40, couldn't send mms (not sure if receiving was the same), seems to be fixed.

I thought the change log included a line mentioning Eugene's fix under the skyrocket section.
In either case, I have not yet observed any reboots, only about 3hrs of use in.

Mine does it more then it did with b40 but i think its a bad flash.
Mine originally did a random reboot with 40 but i reflashed and wiped and all that and it was fine on 40 but in reply to your question.
No reboots on Milestone6
Eugene fixed the reboots on M6 so theres nothing to worry about.
No reboots here. It also charges when off. Just no animation if that matters to anyone.

Sometimes I don't get notified of text messages (the notification sometimes comes and soon as I screen on the icon goes away). Also when I'm texting a lot and leave my keyboard up I sometimes type and text wont go in the compose message box. Its maddening.

Are you talking about from the toggles menu? Noticed the same thing. Just added torch to the power menu and use it from there instead. Seems to work fine that way.
Just upgraded to att official pics 4.0.4 and I have a new icon I've never seen before that won't go away. Its a box with a minus sign on the far left of the status bar.
I've searched and found out its telling me my notification is disabled? Is this true? I've only seen 1 post saying this.
And the directions to turn notification on don't work. They said to pull down the bar and toggle notification.... I don't have that option.
Help me make it go away please.

So I'm sitting at my desk when all of the sudden my phone starts making this annoying sound like they use for severe weather alerts on TV. I was using a tethering app at the time so the first thing that popped in my mind is that Verizon detected it somehow and fried my phone to get even. But when I picked it up there was a message on the screen advising me that I might die in a possible flash flood that might occur in my area...
Pretty neat, I just hope we don't get them too often, especially in the middle of the night. Here is more info on it:

I believe the stock TW messaging app has some emergency alert setting in it. Im not at my phone right now so i can't tell you exactly what it says.
Same thing here. Cool as Hell

ive gotten this twice since release day. One was for flood warning and the other tornado warning. Im in NYC WTF!!!! LOL scared the **** outta me! The tornado almost touching down in Midtown was one of the craziest things ive ever seen! I just wish we could change the ringtone, its loud and super annoying but I guess thats the point.
is there any way to disable, i dont wanna know if im gonna die :highfive:

i was asking if any mod was made to remove it
Let's seriously not turn this into a political debate. It has nothing to do with one single President. The Emergency Alert System has been around for one time and a lot of the stuff we're seeing in phones now was initiated by Bush.
It's also something that pretty much everybody supports regardless of political affiliation. A national Presidential alert has never been issued, not even on 9/11, and would only be sent out in the case of an incredibly serious natural disaster or attack against the country. If you seriously want to be kept in the dark even if an emergency far worse than 9/11 happens, well, it sounds like you might have some trust issues.
Thread closed
The information on how to disable these alerts is contained within this thread, it's gone political, so thread cleaned and closed.
Anyone else have this problem? Can't imagine I'm missing a setting.... Mute generally means mute.
According the this screen shot all sound should be off, correct. Dumb question but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Audio manager from the play store effectively shuts the sound off if anyone else has this problem.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?
factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?
- ooofest
All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).
- ooofest
To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

I know this is an old post but thanks for the tip. I was in class last night and someone was giving a speech and all of a sudden my phone starts whistling. I thought it was in mute, apparently the notifications were not. I'll give sound manager a try.
Actually I've had no problems since the jelly bean update.

I'm getting the white triangle as well flashing right when I receive or send a text even on my M7 on Sense 6. I still can't figure it out!
If it's the same thing we're experiencing then doing the method I posted on the first page works. I haven't seen the icon since I hide it.

I'm stock, non rooted etc and see the same. I have enabled Developer mode, I want to say that is the culprit but i'm not sure why. I also do not recall seeing it prior to the 4.4.2 update.

That Xposed module seems to have killed the triangle, thank you!!!!
But I'd still like to know why it's happening so I can kill it or figure out what's going wrong with the system instead of just Xposing it away.
