Emergency Alerts - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

So they are introducing mandatory emergency alerts here in Canada...testing started this week and didn't go so well, but then today I suddenly received a real alert. It's obviously very loud (which is expected), but I was surprised it made a sound at all because my phone was on vibrate at the time. I was in the office when it happened, and the alarm actually caused a bit of a fuss as people thought it was a fire alarm at first.
I understand the importance of these alerts, but does this mean from now on a loud alarm may sound day or night, with no control over it whatsoever? Today's alert involved a case in a town 16 hours away...it makes no sense.
I know we can't opt out of these alerts, but is there really no way to only show notifications or make these alerts vibrate instead? The options for these alerts in my messaging app are greyed out. Is this something we can change with root? Worst case, I figured it would be fine on Do Not Disturb, but since it makes a sound with vibration I'm no longer so sure that Do Not Disturb mode would actually have any effect...
I have an N950FD with Bell Mobility Canada, unrooted on latest stock Oreo firmware with XSG/XSG/XSG CSC.

You can try systen ui tunner, it gives you some more control over notifications, on a per app basis, although it is little tricky with samsung devices, inside the app is a brief explanation about it

I'm not sure how to change it with root or if it is even possible. I do know that the settings change based on CSC so if you ever get around to changing your CSC that might do the trick for you.
With T-Mobile USA CSC none of my Emergency Alerts settings are greyed out. I can choose which alerts to get & if I want to mute them. Since I can mute them (yeah that sound alert is very annoying & overkill in my opinion) I just leave all my alerts on. The only alert I can't disable is Presidential alerts which I have never received one anyway. I forget how the settings looked when I was stock XEU though.

I to received this bs alert ( Canada ) and and looking for a work around. Hopefully someone can identify the procedure to completely remove this pile of crap. It doesn't even work correctly ffs. Just pisses me off

At least I'm not the only one who was annoyed . What Note 8 model do you have? Did it make a sound (and if so, were you on vibrate or silent)?

Thanks, I'll take a look! The more options the better. I don't mind the notification so much...I just have to make sure that siren doesn't suddenly start blaring again

I think you're right and it's once again related to CSC. Lol, first the missing Gif keyboard, and now this
I searched a little and found a few articles from today... One said the alert should be silent if the phone is on vibrate, and the other article (below) said we should be able to edit the same messaging settings that are greyed out for me.
https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/05/14/ontario-just-received-first-emergency-text-alert/
Maybe they do not use this type of alert system in UAE (XSG CSC), and so they disable the toggles (and the default 'make a sound' doesn't matter). Just a thought, but that would explain why I have an unmutable siren here...and why no one else in my office does, lol. Thanks again

I have a Huawei p10 I can disable individual alerts, but cant disable emergency alerts complete service. I got the original test alert it was loud and annoying. I unchecked everything but still got an amber alert cancellation notification only for an area no where near me with no audio. I did not receive the initial amber alert. These are my available settings.

Quick update: I decided to flash the latest Oreo firmware (Puerto Rico) from SamFirm. I used CP, AP, BL, and CSC with the latest Odin version. Everything went well and my CSC changed (gif keyboard working!), but the messages settings for emergency alerts remained the same... I then tried flashing XEF, but ended right back at my original XSG/XSG/XSG (due it being a to multi-csc which includes XSG, I assume). Back to square one for now, but when I have more time I'll try a few other firmwares/csc until I find one that works...or just end up rooting it...

I have the T-mo note 8 and can not find these settings, exactly how did you get to them?

They are in the settings menu for the messaging app. Open the app, tap on the three dots in the top-right of your screen, tap on settings, then tap on notifications.

[APP|ROOT] Snotify - [R] - 2012-04-22 - [U] 2012-07-04 - Silences Notification Sounds

Snotify is an application that let you set up a schedule for when Notification sounds should be disabled. You can set multiple schedules for email, texts, toast notifications, master volume and vibrate. For each schedule you can set which days of the week it should apply to (much like the built-in alarm app).

You'll also need WP7 Root Tools from http://www.wp7roottools.com/ . I've tested the app on a HTC HD2 with WP7 Root Tools 0.9.
This application relies on a background task to toggle the setting. Unless the "Resource Intensive Task" is allowed to run it may take up to 30 minutes for the application to react. If you do not connect your phone to an external power source you'll have to take this into consideration.
Thanks to Heathcliff74 for making this possible (WP7 Root Tools SDK)!
Cool app
Cool app really like it.Is it possible that you could just add in a full mute? Basiclly I want it to just mute everything during 8:00 to 5:30. Also I hope you add in a feature to allow days such as only running it on monday-friday.
And I have 1 question, what do you mean by this"Resource Intensive Task is allowed to run" is this a registry edit I have to make or something?
Rly neat!
But how about disable vibrate too?
And the ability to create "profiles", in wich you can choose what to mute/disable during given time and days?
That would be really awesome, as you could get a full night of sleep everyday and avoid the humiliation of everyone in class hearing your ridiculous ringtone during workdays

A full mute would be possible, so I'll consider it. A more advanced schedule is possible as well, I just have to decide the way to implement it and find time to do so.
Windows Phone Apps can run either as Periodic or Resource Intensive Tasks/Agents. A Periodic agent runs once every thirty minute, unless the OS decides to delay the execution (most commonly caused by a low battery level). Resource Intensive Tasks can only run when the phone is connected to an external power source, is almost fully charged and got access to an internet connection other than the radio (WiFi or USB to computer). The app uses both but the OS decides whether any of them actually runs.

The notification is disabled, so it applies to the vibration as well. I realize I haven't made this entirely clear.

K cool well thanks. I like the app but It doesnt really help me yet since it doesnt do a full mute. I will be waiting for a full mute. Also you should get your app onto Bazzar.
Suggest you to implement live tile which will allow anybody to turn off any of the notification instantly.
I would have loved control on the volume but turning of is what most of the people do.
Thanks for the App, Works on my Samsung Focus 8107.
if you can add call ring support
thanks ... testing
require setting the ringer volume
Thanks for all the suggestions. The next version will include two new settings, "Master Volume" and "Vibrate". Hopefully I'll be able to release it on Sunday.
Master Volume = Turn off the volume for all types of sounds and notifications, including ringtone. The phone will still vibrate for calls and notifications.
Vibrate = Turns off vibrations for ring and all notifications. Sounds will still be played.
Using Master Volume + Vibrate together will completely silence the phone.
Adding Secondary Tile support will only save one click and take a few hours to implement, so I'm not going to include it in this release.

in the future you can add flight mode control
and can you pls add option for twice a day?
Will this work on a lumia 900? I just came from android and I was hoping I can find an app for this same exact type of feature. Hopefully It works. Thanks dev.
Version 1.1 is now available with support to disable all sounds and/or vibrations.
duhhh: Sorry, flight mode is a bit out of the scope for this application. This would not work for most people anyway, since disabling flight mode requires you to re-enter your SIM PIN code.
idelgado782: The application should not be phone specific, but it requires that you unlock your phone and that it properly supports WP7 Root Tools. Unfortunatelly I don't think this is available for Lumia 900 yet.
Yea I started reading and that's what I figured so far. I have to keep an eye for the unlock so then I can use this app!!! Thanks for your reply.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
Really Like version 1.1 but still waiting/hoping for a day by day mute schedule.
Also is it possible you could add a feature or something that does the following.
I need it to mute everything at 8:05 but right now it is 7:40. so when it checks again 30mins later it will be 8:10 and will be too late. So could it calculate or figure that out and mute its self at 7:40 because it would otherwise mute too late.

I'm planning to add a schedule like the built in alarm app, but it didn't make it to 1.1. Your other idea is great as well, so i'll put it on the todo-list .
Regards
Johan
K cool well as soon as you add the schedule feature I will be using this app daily.
Thanks for the APP, can you add "airplane mode" control to it? It maybe very useful.
Would be nice if we have daily options like "disable only on Monday at 8AM-4PM"

Sort notifications by time

Hi guys!
Just move to android from iPhone's since day one. I do have it about 5/6 months and I was hable to sort all of the different settings and I can say that I'm really happy with the change.
I only have one little problem that makes me crazy, can't get notifications sort by time like the iPhone, so I constantly get "Ding" and can't tell what it is calling my attention... I talked this issue with a friend from office, he has a Xiaomi, and it does have the notifications sort by time, the screen wakes and highlight the notification when arrives. That's exactly what I need! Tried some apps like Glympse but only change the home screen and not the notifications on the status bar.
Why Galaxy notifications are set like this? is there a order that I can understand?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is my note 8 on Oreo notifications:
Thank's and I'm sorry if this was on other site but was not able to find a fix for this

it happens because of "priority notifications"
Swipe a notification to the right/left just a little until you can tap the gear, then check whether or not they're priority.

Thanks a lot a very simple answer to a question I have been struggling with since I changed devices. My thanks sir. It's a small thing that I wasnt sure I could change.
Same here
Hi everyone. I am facing the same problem, and it has nothing to do with priorities, it seems Android is set that way but I can't figure out how Android sorts notifications; I've tried replacing the notification bar by some other app but it still sorts it the way Android does. I've searched all over the internet but no solution so far. It seems that only Emui and IOS counts with that feature. Has anyone find a solution?
I'm having the same issue with the new s10. Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
I Think the Notifications are sorted by the Type. So notifications wird popups are shown higher then notifications with just Sound.
I bet the option doesn't exist because of Google's position as an ad company. Apps are essentially advertisers and they likely abhor the idea that their notifications could be user sorted. They want prioritisation.
Chronological Notifications
If the Notifications are not chronological then they are useless. It is absolutely ridiculous and unproductive to have to scroll for two minutes just to try to figure out why your phone just beeped. I use BlackBerry Hub. It's a third party email app that also conglomerates all of your phone's app and calendar notifications and displays them in proper chronological order. I highly recommend BlackBerry hub if you have multiple email/social media accounts managed on one phone. Otherwise good luck trying to figure out who is trying to reach you with these Google add based notification displays.
I have this exact problem in my Oneplus 6. Is there any solution? I hate Android due to this. Why there is no simple option in the settings to sort notifications based on the time they arrived?
i tried so much its so sucks
u can try notification master app
u can see all notifications arranged bu time
I'm going F'n nuts with these Android notifications. Same problem, I get an alert sound then check notifications and I have no F'n idea what just alerted me. They need to be sorted by reverse date/time order with the latest at the top (ideally). Who the F wrote the notification code? Do they even use their own phone?

Notification LEDs

Guys, silly question. Do we have any notification LEDs? Can't find it. Please help. Hahaha.
I use this : Always on Edge
Watch some youtube videos on it if you feel its a little complicated or overwhelming but once you get used to it, it's really easy. Works great. Make sure to set it to manual in Huawei's app launch section so that it can run constantly.
Problem with that is that I first have to tap the apps overlay away before I can fingerprint unlock my device, is there a setting so it works at once as before?

You can set double tap. Also you only need to do it when the notification is on.

What about battery life? Does it drains a lot?
And can you set it up edge lighting to repeat every minute or so until you read or dismiss notification?

My personal experience, there's hardly any drain. I set it to turn off at 12am and turn back on at 7am. Sometimes i see 1% , sometimes i dont even see it in the usage tab. Maybe because i don't have many incoming messages but hye, it's really battery friendly.
Yes, you can set repeat, max 2 minutes. So every too minutes it will remind you.
Check the settings of the apps, there's plenty of control.
Also make sure to turn off automatic power management for that app else the p30 pro will put it to sleep.
I'm not able to use it anyway. I use NoLED fron XDA and it works well.

NoLed app can be obtained via apkmirror but development for it has be halted. Also to dismiss the notification, you'd need to swipe up. Would have been nice if they added double tap to dismiss or something similar.

It should bring you straight to the permission menu when you click it. If you think you messed something up, then clear data and cache for AOE. Re-launch the app again and do it step by step. Works here on my end without any issue.
The access notification access, enter settings and search Notification Access, then give permission to AOE.

All about notifications

I recently switched to S20FE from LG V30. I loved the way V30's notifications worked. I'm trying to replicate the same behavior with S20FE, but Samsung's options are all over the place and a bit overwhelming.
With V30 when my screen was on, notifications worked as normally.. a popup at the top of the screen.
When the screen was off, whenever I'd get notification it would pop up as a single line at the top of the screen. This was really useful when my phone is laying on the desk, I can just glance over and see what it is.
So I'm trying to replicate this behavior with S20FE.
I have "Always On Display" turned on and set to "Tap to show".
I have Notifications "Show on Always On Display" turned on.
I have "Edge lighting" turned on and set to "While screen is off". (This seems to be the notification style like on V30 when the screen is off.)
I think that's all the notification options I could think of.
So, when the screen is ok, notifications work (mostly*) the same.
But when the screen is off, I don't get "Edge lighting" thing happening.
The only way I can get it to work is if I set "Edge lighting" to "Always", but then it replaces regular notifications when the screen is on too.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing some other option? Or is this how S20FE works and there's nothing I can do about it?
(*mostly because when I get certain kinds of Discord notifications, with V30 I'd see a couple of lines in the popup and if I were to expand the popup, it would show me action buttons like "open in maps", "open in browser". On S20FE those action buttons are visible before I even expand the notification, making it needlessly large. Is there a way to change this too?)
Nobody uses these notifications?
Have you added which app can use edge notification? My girl uses it and has no complaints about it.

Ugh. I'm kinda not too enthusiastic in creating yet another account to post on yet another forum. :/
What settings does she have for always on display and edge notifications?
On chatbox is live person. I'll check her settings and reply you later day.
edit
Her settings.

I've also got this exact issue. Randomly like 2xs a day it may work but 98% of the time the edge lighting does nothing. Even if select it to just light up the top middle and not the edge. I've also installed edge+ from the galaxy store which is something that seemed to be very useful yet doesn't work. I've gone as far as making sure my battery optimization wasn't doing anything to the app. Also going into app permission allowing it to draw over other apps and allowing for notifications without any luck. Really annoying. Only thing I haven't tried is using it without the AOD option. Do you use AOD?

ultimately I decided to turn off AOD since it kinda have no purpose. Showing time and battery is not critical. I can just tap the screen once to see that.
I'm not sure if it's related but I seem to now get these "brief notifications"(official android term for them) only from Telegram. However, Discord, Google Hangouts and irccloud still don't trigger them.
But another annoyance is that now irccloud notifications trigger as those bubble notifications, even though I have "smart pop up view"setting disabled.
This is so confusing and frustrating.
I just went through all of this last night. Ended up turning off Edge Lighting, Turned off AOD. Installed Glimpse Notifications. Went through it's several setup steps, but now any time I get any notifications, my screen lights up and I see what I was sent.

What does it look like? Screenshots on google play and their website show only settings, not what actual notifications look like.

It just shows the normal Android notifications. Literally all this does is light up the screen when a notification comes in. My problem was that I'd get a notification and hear the sound, but I'd have to pick up my phone and press the power button to see what it said. With the setup, the screen lights up when I get a notification and I see the normal notification that I would have seen if I just hit my power button.
Same issue here, seems like a simple feature yet it is not working properly.
On all my other phones, my screen would wake up with any notification (paired with notification sound). With S20 FE, my screen stays black after receiving a notification (notification sounds).
Do others have this problem?

(tips and tricks ! perfect)
is easy to change a launcher....but it would ask you to login to vivo account.
Yes i discover this in x70Pro thread... I watch a youtube video from Ben's... seems he didn't know about this method...
Waiting mine actually.... more feedback when it will be in my hand.
Any way to get the Vivo account? Also Telegram notifications don't work. It doesn't show notifications on the icon as badge nor on the notifications shade. Any help please?

You have 2 steps i see on video :
• Battery Optmisation parameter
• When u switch between, you need to lock app not be in part of Vivo Freedom My Memory for no reason...
Still don't have mine, then it's theoritical, i still have Vivo Nex and same extra optimisation...

yes i just get vibration.. No sound no notification in notification shade.. Locked the app removed battery optimization still no luck.
Also KWGT does not work.. can anyone confirm?
I purchased this device also, so far the build quality and specs are amazing! As for the UI it could be better, or I am just not used to it as this is my first Vivo device.
One big issue I am having is I can not send MMS messages, APN is all correct by default even reset the APN and I have allowed every possible permission and single permission possible. Even removed battery optimization which is key.
As for launcher I do get an option to choose Nova but it does not stick, always goes back to main launcher when hitting the home key

I read you need to force multiple time to validate "alternative" launcher....

Ah so it is the issue regarding third party messaging apps. I noticed it does work with the default messaging app but not with Google messaging. Man that sucks!
This being my first Vivo device, curious if these can be bootloader unlocked and rooted?
I do see the oem unlock option in developer options.
Be sweet if this device gets some good support on xda

Can you check if KWGT widgets work?
They work so far
So, I have figured something out, and maybe we can brainstorm to fix this. So I can use Pulse SMS to send MMS messages, however when I receive them, the phone gives me a error that says : Modify the Default Information. and then resets to the stock messages app and then get the message. How can I prevent that. So I need to ADB and change some permissions or remove the stock app entirely...???
Help guys I'm on Verizon and can't send or recieve any mms on stock app or textra. Regular sms does work fine. I'm frustrated may have to sell this phone as it won't connect to 5g in Arizona either. Can we download a voice mail app?
