no longer getting emergency alerts - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

emergency alerts have stopped working for me, yes settings are on.
everyone around me has been getting them, but not me. other s7 owners on different carriers got them but not me on verizon.
anyone else having this problem?

I'm not getting them either. It has been a long time since I've seen an alert. I figured it was something that was pulled out of the ROM. Are you completely stock or on a modified ROM?

Weird phone behavior?

Ok, well I'm not sure if this is my phone or if it's on sprint's end. Whenever somebody calls me, i have to open the numberpad and press 1 to accept any calls. And I am receiving no texts, and nobody receives mine. This first started happening when I flashed the i1 ROM, so i thought it was some weird thing relating to do the EF10 modem or the ROM, so I flashed to ACS 1.2. Same problems. I thought it was a Sprint problem, but my Mom and sister who are on the same plan are not having issues. They have standard phones, not smart phones. I have tried odining stock EC05 to no avail.
Should I call sprint? Or should I let it sit and see if it gets resolved? Has anyone else had anything like this happen?
It sounds like your account got messed up. Call them if they tell you to bring it into a store odin back stock.

Continuous notification problem

My wife and I both have a 6p. She is running the latest lineageos and I've got Resurection's latest rom. Both of our phones have the same problem. The notification tone will randomly go off continuously for 30+ seconds and when unlocking the phone and checking, there are no new notifications. I've had the problem on lineage, stock, resurrection and weta roms. I've spend days searching xda without any luck. Is anybody else having this issue or know of a cure?

It's odd to be sure, especially since you say you can reproduce on both phones running the stock ROM. I've never heard of it. Emergency alerts maybe? Which carrier?
Try disabling NFC under Settings--> More.

We use straight talk service with Verizon SIM. I thought along the same lines but they both do it at different times. I was in a meeting yesterday and it started going off and then later in the evening hers went off in the middle of a movie. I don't even know where to begin to start to figure out the cause of it. It's not deal breaker, just annoying.

Turn off emergency alerts, and flash one back to stock? Never heard of a similar issue.
I'm having similar issues with notifications sounds too. I get one notification, check it, turn screen off, and not getting any sound for 30/60 secs, even if one or more notification arrives ( I can see it from the led notification).
Really wierd... I'm running s-aosp but I don't think the ROM is to blame. Maybe aggressive doze from greenify or maybe a Google play services bug, I noticed that removing some permission of play services caused delay in notifications, never noticed it till a week ago and then I started noticing it continuosly...

I've been thinking of going back to stock anyways because of the rumor off fingerprint gestures in the new beta update so maybe I'll try it again and see what happens.

Not only are the fingerprint gestures working, but Google finally released the full image on their beta page, which makes things really easy.

Something is going on with Verizon Wireless

It started with Nougat update but it is also showing up before update (6.0.1) I updated to Nougat and phone would constantly revert back to Verizon Airwaves default ringtone plus wifi calling wasn't working. They agreed and shipped me out a refurbished phone which was still on 6.0.1. This phone (still on 6.0.1 not updated) will not keep the ringtone or notification sound I set, keeps going back to Verizon tones!!? Any suggestions?
Weird. I haven't experienced that at all. Maybe a new SIMM card is needed?
Not Sim Card

Are you positive? What have you done to ensure it isn't your SIMM card? You can go to the Verizon dealer and get a new SIMM card for free. Otherwise, I can't imagine what else might be causing the issue? Whenever a phone has exhibited strange behavior, and it happens with a replacement phone as well, I've swapped out the SIMM card and it fixed the issue, unless you already tried this. If you have, maybe it's something with your Verizon account? Not sure if there is some setting with say, the VZW cloud that it's restoring some weird settings? I'm reaching here because I've never heard of this type of issue before and it's baffling, but I'd like to know how it eventually gets solved.
I'm out of ideas. Hopefully someone else can give some other suggestions. I'm very curious to know if you get the issue fixed or not.
Good luck!
I am beginning to think an app I have called Sound Profile is the culprit. Always worked in the past. I went through and disabled each app one at a time for test. BUT I discovered that Sound Profile will startup after each boot regardless of the fact I disabled it in App Settings. Once I found this out I uninstalled and have been checking and rebooting for several hours now with no problems. I loved this app and hope to use it again. I'll keep updating thread.

Random Missing Texts Issue?

Anyone else having this issue?
http://www.techradar.com/news/your-samsung-galaxy-s8-might-not-be-receiving-every-text
I am on an Unlocked/BestBuy-bought S8 being used on Verizon. Never had any problems, and then suddenly started hearing from people (including the wife) that I'm not responding to texts. I then figure out - it's because I never got them. It's brutal, because some come through, and some don't, with no apparent correlation, and you don't know what you don't see! (Almost wish none came through, so I could say - text messaging is broken! Unfortunately, it's only "kinda" broken!)
So I did some searching and found this thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/c...texts_on_s8_all_carriers_all/?sort=confidence
Some solutions I've found say it's a carrier/bloatware issue. Well, not for me - I have no carrier bloatware, and have been using Textra.
Others say it's any 3rd party texting app, so I went back to Samsung stock. They also were saying it could be the battery optimization putting apps to sleep, so I did see that Textra was being "monitored" (and I guess theoretically could be getting put to sleep while texts were coming in, and then not retrieving them after?). I disabled that as well, and have been checking on my usage on the VerizonWireless website - haven't noticed any missed ones since this weekend, but it's a pain to have to log on and reconcile texts on my phone vs. the website.
Apparently, Samsung is aware of it and working on a software update to correct it, but I haven't been pushed the rumored October update yet. Guess we'll see...
Anyone else have the issue or a solution?!

Not getting texts / calls (T-Mobile)

Hello,
Once I got this phone a year or two ago, I've found that I will need to reboot it to start receiving texts and phone calls at times.
This was on the stock ROM, I've used CM 13 and now Lineage 15 since and the behavior is always the same.
There is no indicator I've lost cell service and my data connection will work fine regardless.
Because this is my first ASUS phone and also my only phone I've ever had on T-Mobile, I don't know which of the two (possibly both?) to blame.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, was it with another carrier? Is it worth going back to stock and getting the latest updates? If I knew it would resolve the issue, I would definitely do it.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
I'm on a Z00T (ZE551KL) if that makes a difference.

Update:
Reverted back to stock and got on the latest OTA from the ASUS website, the issue still remains.
Anyone out there using this phone on T-Mobile? Its really starting to become a problem, I'm completely missing important phone calls and texts with no way of knowing until I force my bank app to send me a text, and I don't get it.
A reboot resolves the issue, I have no idea what triggers it.

I have SM-N900V (Note 3 on Verizon). Running LineageOS. If I'm home or at work no problem. An hour or two away I don't receive texts. I can send them, but until I reboot I receive no texts. After rebooting I usually get them twice. Calls seem unaffected. Did you figure out anything with your phone?
