I can open Messages, settings, Emergency alert settings, and under Emergency alerts I can disable Extreme, Severe, and AMBER alerts.

Hi mate. Did you ever figure out how to disable emergency alerts when it's greyed out?

Everyone I know can disable them in the Samsung messages app, I'm not sure why you couldn't. Are you running official firmware?

it seems mine is an international version so the option is greyed out. going with the option of using google messages and disabling all notifications for samsung messages

Double SMS Notifications AFTER Disabling

I'm running cyan's 4.2.3 with Enoch 1.4.2 theme using handcent sms. I have already disabled auto-retrieve and notifications on the default messaging application but i still receive notifications from both when i receive text messages. Reinstalling handcent had no effect and neither did wiping the data from the messaging app. I'd like to find a solution without having to reflash/reinstall all my apps if possible
You will ALWAYS get messages in the default, because if you didn't you wouldn't get them in handcent. Go into the default messenger and turn off the notifications. Simple fix. And you need to turn on auto download because thats for MMS not SMS.
sigh.. if you had read you would have seen

I quickly read, but you don't have notifications turned off, because if you did it wouldn't notify unless they gave you a change sms program. I just turned mine on/off and it works just fine. Check permissions.
... i have checked those settings multiple times. I wouldn't be posting in a forum if it was that simple of a solution. It used to work before and now it doesn't, obviously the default messaging program is having some kind of fault where changing the setting via the GUI is not affecting it.

Verizon Message+

Is there a way to have my phone to turn on temporarily when receiving messages using Verizon's Message+. I really like Verizon messaging app because it syncs between all my devices.
I use AcDisplay
On mine, if I turn on Enable Popup and Enable Popup Over Lock Screen in the Message+ settings menu, my phone turns on when I get an SMS message.
I'm an idiot....

turn off emergency amber alerts

Where do you turn off emergency amber alerts?
I've checked in:
Messages > Settings - not found
Notifications > sound alerts (sound) - greyed out
Network connections - more connection settings - not found
Open the messaging app, tap Menu, settings, scroll down to emergency alerts, rap and disable. You won't be able to disable Presidential Alerts though or you may not have that one depending on what country you're in.
EDIT: I see you looked in messages, that is the default Samsung messages you're looking in isn't it? Every Samsung phone I've seen has it in Messages.
I have the G9730 (Hong Kong) variation and live in the U.S. Because I had two SCREAMING LOUD Amber alerts last week, one while sitting in a dentist chair , I looked into this.
Yes, it appears to be buried in the Samsung Messages app and not in Android itself, I guess it's a regional thing. All I can find though in these Settings is something labeled "Roaming emergency alerts." Now, if you go into "Notifications" yes, there -is- a setting for "Emergeny Alerts" (sound), but guess what? It's greyed out!! You can't change it!!
So I've switched off the Roaming setting and also turned off notifications on this app completely. I usually use the Google Messages anyway and there is no setting in there for alerts at all.
So if this setting is only on U.S. builds of the Samsung Messenger app, is there a way to install a version that would have these settings on an international phone? XDA forums seem like they should know. Would I need a different CSC coded firmware? Likewise I only have the "Roaming emergency alerts" option in Messenger, but I'm not roaming so I don't think it affects anything.

I've got Intl version of the Note 9 and there is nowhere to turn Amber Alerts OFF. HELP, I don't like the Govt. sending me ANYTHING...
I have an SIM-unlocked SM-G970U in the USA using Verizon. I got the 10 upgrade yesterday and the Amber Alert setting for me is listed under Connections > More connection settings > Wireless Emergency Alerts.

Does turning notifications completely, work?
Just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (international version) and there is no way to turn off the alerts, can't do it via Messages App, settings (it is grayed out) and don't have the option for wirless emergency alerts under the category of Connections, More Connection settings. That option is not in the list. Anyone make any progress on getting this shut down?

Messages For Web Silencing Notifications

Hey gang, wondering if anyone else has this issue. When I'm using Messages For Web (Google Messages SMS) it silences notifications on my phone. This is especially annoying if I leave Messages for Web up on my computer and leave the office, in which I get zero notifications.
Any idea how to fix this?
I just tested it and while it's running on my Windows PC I still get a notification on my phone.
Fixed this...you have to go to App settings and enable notifications. There's a separate section for 'notifications while using messages for web'
