How do I disable this horseshit. There’s got to be a way but the disable Amber Alert toggle doesn’t seem to block it.
Impossible, apparently. Mine only lasted a few seconds.How do I disable this horseshit. There’s got to be a way but the disable Amber Alert toggle doesn’t seem to block it.
Hmm, with the ringer off there was no alert sound for me. On Silent, it was just a popup notification.I'm laughing at all the kids (like my son) who probably have their phones with them in class against the rules, and who got outed by this. It was friggin loud.
That's good. I had my ringer on to wait for a call. He probably has his off. He doesn't take my calls; probably won't take the Donald's either.Hmm, with the ringer off there was no alert sound for me. On Silent, it was just a popup notification.
My phone was off, my husband's on. I am sorry, but I kept imagining this being used to tell the local citizenry to report to police any immigrants or non-Whites in their neighborhood. (This will probably be deleted by mods and I will be warned.) If it merely was a "test" of the emergency alert system, that would be fine, but all of a sudden it's a Presidential alert? Why?Turning your phone off is the only way to avoid it apparently.
Same here, but I have Amber Alerts off because I'm a horrible person and got sick of them at 2am for a car in another state.It is my understanding and correct me if I am wrong is that the Presidential Alert originates from FEMA not from the stubby little fingers of the POTUS and his phone. Regardless, I got the noise but no message so whatever.
Yes, and I don’t want them. If a Level 5 Killstorm is heading for me and the only thing that will spare my life is a text from FEMA then it’s just my time to go.I mean, everyone knows FEMA actually sent this not Trump right? I mean, it's not like he took over the EBS on TV and radio for things right?
I mean, everyone is okay in here right?
Of course we understand that. If it came from him it'd be in ALL CAPS and nonsense.I mean, everyone knows FEMA actually sent this not Trump right? I mean, it's not like he took over the EBS on TV and radio for things right?

That's right, it was set up as a follow-on to the Emergency Broadcast System now that tv/radio broadcast isn't the best way to reach everyone.It is my understanding and correct me if I am wrong is that the Presidential Alert originates from FEMA
Orwellian.I had the sound off on my LG G7 Thinq and still got the sound and a text message to boot. I was amused by the screen that popped up that ended, "No further action needed," and then there was a Conform button below that.
I think Orwell was a better speller than I (or at least there was better editing involved).Orwellian.
