Hi all,
Is anyone ware of a registry setting or API call which will remove the Cell Broadcast alert notification from occuring. I dont want to not receive the broadcast just not get the annoying pop-up occuring...
Regards Gerard
Start\Settings\Phone, select More and uncheck Broadcast Channells enable
No I do not wish to unsubscribe from receiving cell broadcasts just stop the annoying pop-up from occurring. I have developed an app which gets cell broadcast notifications and I would like it to still be able to receive the broadcasts without the pop-up.......
There must be a registry setting which I can hack to customise the devices behaviour????
Regards Gerard
did anyone find out an answer?
When I put my (german) vodafone SIM into my O2 XDA II, all Cell Broadcasts are shown as SMS, which sucks because the broadcase some "news" every few minutes
Message or missed call notification on screen is disabled except the home screen panel in my x1? Why is that? Is there any fix? and another query what is broadcast channels under phone settings? Enabled it , but seems to change nothing.
Broadcast channels enables you to receive broadcast messages, which are text messages that you receive from your mobile operator (or more specifically, the cell tower you are connected to). Not all operators use them. (do any really?)
I'd also like to enable the on-screen notifications on all panels... With Spb Shell Panel I see the notification icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't automatically pop up. I have no idea how to fix it, though.
I was wondering if anybody has found a fix for Contact-Specific Message Alerts? It uses the default notification no matter what you set up in Contacts / Message alert. I see the problem all over the web. Some say the fixed it by changing from Messages to Message+, other say they fixed it by changing from Message+ to Messages, some say to add SMS PopUp, some try factory reset with no avail. Based on date of posts and the different phones that have the problem, It appears this has been a problem for a long time, and is not not specific to the Note 3. It covers at least from the Note 3 to the Note 4, which would include at least the S4 and S5. In Contacts, I simply select from the standard alerts that came with the phone. I don't have Zedge installed or anything like that. It doesn't matter if I have the microSD card installed or not. Some say that it happens if the contacts are on the SIM, but this is a CDMA phone, and the only SIM it has is for Verizon LTE. I have a Google account, but I don't let Google store my information. I've read about the myriad of reliability and other issues of using 3rd party messaging apps. I just want to use the reliable Messages app that ships as the default on the phone, not some 3rd party app on someone else's server. I want contact-specific alerts so I will jump only when a monitor tells me about a server with issues, not every time there is a text message.
Thanks!
I have figured out my issues, but more importantly I am figuring out how things work. This issue is not specific to any particular Samsung phone or Android version.
Samsung Messages app and requirements
- The Messages app is the default Samsung messaging app. It is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, which has the ability to define a "Message tone"(S5) or "Message alert"(Note 3) by contact. The property may already display in Contacts, or you may have to press a button in Contacts to add the field. Then simply specify the alert/tone you want.
- The contact must be a DEVICE Contact. For example, in my case I use Akrutosync to sync my Outlook with my phone. This requires setting up an Active Sync. Outlook and the phone sync perfectly, however any contact synced like this will only play the default Message tone/Message alert. If you go into the contact, and look at the Connection property, it will show Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. In order for it work work, it must say Device.
- The contact must have a phone number, and that number must be the source of the incoming message. For myself in the IT industry, it is commonplace to have server monitors send a text message via ###-###-####@vtext.com from an e-mail address. We want a different tone/alert for a server down than normal texts. The messages will show as coming from the proper contact, but it will only trigger the default Message tone/Message alert. Samsung said it shouldn't work that way, but I don't have a work-around for the problem.
Verizon Messages+ app and requirements
- Verizon Messages+ app is the default messaging app for Verizon phones. Messages+ can use Verizon's cloud if desired and your account supports it. That makes it simpler to create and respond to text messages for a specific phone number from multiple devices, including computers and tablets. It also means Verizon has access to your personal correspondence. However, even as a local application, It has built-in functionality to record an MMS message, send postcards, pictures from storage or camera, add captions to pictures, markup pictures, make collages, send your location with the click of a button, activate Glympse so people can follow you or link up with you, send someone a contact, send an MP3 or WAV file.
- Messages+ is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, but DOES NOT USE the "Message tone"(S5) / "Message alert"(Note 3) property in Contacts.
- There is no way to do a contact-specific tone/alert in Message+. The best you can do is a conversation-specific tone/alert, and never delete the entire conversation. To do a conversation-specific tone/alert, at the top left next to the contact's picture, there are 3 horizontal lines. Flick those to the right to open a new window. Scroll to "Customize conversation", and then select Tones where you can select your tone for the conversation. Of course if you ever delete the conversation, the tone you set up will be lost also, and the next time you receive a message from the same contact, you will receive the default tone/alert. Message+ does not make use of the Message alert/tone set up in Contacts.
Note: Even when a 3rd party messaging app is set up correctly, you may still get the default tone. You may need to go to the main settings menu, pick 'Sound' then scroll down to 'Messages' under Samsung applications and turn that off.
Let me know if this helps you with your situation.
I have a T-Mobile S7 Edge and I use Textra for my messaging. Since emergency alerts (severe weather, etc.) are through the stock messaging app, does this mean I will not receive those alerts unless it is my default app?
Thanks for the help!
Anyone experienced enough with Android to be able to help me out?
The v20 (used to own a lg g5 that had these settings too) has menu settings to enable voice notifications for calls and texts. I cannot get them to work even when enabled.
not sure why.
I have, since the samsung galaxy nexus, been using an app called Enhanced SMS & Caller ID (eCID) inorder to have this function, however I would like to use the OS version. if the os can do it, why use an app?
The function is located in settings under the sound page at the bottom called Message/Call Voice Notifications
am I missing something?
I have call info and messages sender info enabled. Reading the content of the messages though is disabled.
