Why These Weather Alerts w/ Sprint??? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

How Do we OPT out of these sprint weather alerts? I have gone into my messaging settings and turned them off. But I still get the stupid flood warning texts. When I delete them, they just keep coming through. I received like 20 text alerts yesterday because it rained lol. Any way to block them? I called sprint yesterday and the lady I spoke to, knew nothing about them lol.

You can opt out of most (but not all) wireless emergency alerts. On page two of this link is instructions on how to opt out:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/2811-102-1-2310
The code you put in the dialer doesn't work (at least for me) on CM9. Hope this helps.

Sprint doesn't have a clue what is going on. I've talked to 5 people tonight about it.

Not sure if you can opt out, I think it is part of the new system they just rolled out with the national weather service, a text is sent from the tower to all connected compatible devices when an alert is issued in the area

Surely there is a way to disable it.

this is called CMAS.. its an emergency alert system.. it was put in effect by the u.s. government.. all carriers need to broadcast emergency alerts. i know us cellular customers started 6/26.. and i can confirm ive received them on sprint in phoenix az..

Just got off the phone with Sprint and they are wanting me to dial ##2627# then uncheck a box, I can't remember which box though. I think it was cma or something like that. I'm on phantoms 1.3 and its not working.

This needs to be inverted...ASAP.
Or you can open the existing app and go to Settings>check for update, and you will be updated to 5.3.0.30, a very similar version.
Are you F-ing kidding me? Voicemail updates three times in just a few weeks.. ? I give up..
It looks nice. The icon changed also. I like this icon way better lol
I've been getting the 9016 text message for my voicemails and they aren't showing in the VVM app. Anyone have the OG version? I want to try to see if VVM works for me on the stock app.
This is just begging for a theme. Just another reason i ditched vvm a few years ago.
I use youmail. Its free and works great. The better youmail app in the market is awesome too. Use the dark ics theme. Its basically inverted.
And u can get voice transcription there too. Designate different voicemails for different co tacts.
Highly reccomend it. Its in the market and www.youmail.com

So yea, I wasn't using a CM Rom. It was with Blazer Rom. The problem didn't lie with the Voicemail app, it was my Avast Mobile Security app. The app likes to block all SMS from communicating with certain apps, like the Sprint Visual Voicemail. As soon as I uninstalled the app, my voicemail was working and no more 9016 texts.
Avast is aware of this, no word on a fix from them yet.
Thanks for this.

So I live in the DFW Metroplex and it's been raining all night and all of a sudden my phone started making a siren noise and this popped up on my phone:

part of the Gov's new early warning text system
Its CMAS. Commercial Messaging Alert System I believe. In the messaging app go into settins and look for emergency alerts.
Pretty cool indeed!

Kool, totally Kool.
Its definitely a very cool feature.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Kind of useless though, right? Raining for hours and then a text message warning you about floods?
Yeah i got this too (while on stock rom, have since switched to Paranoid Android). I thought it was a cool feature as well but did anyone else notice that these notifications would pop up CONSTANTLY?
One night, my wife and I's phone (we both have the S3) were literally buzzing every 5 minutes for an hour straight with the same flood warning. Note that there were no thunder storms or rain or anything of that sort in our area but obviously this warning could have been for my entire county or something like that. Regardless, we ended up disabling the feature
You can disable it in the stock message app settings. The only alert that can't be disabled is the Presidential alerts.
Yeah the feature is cool when its accurate. Unless I have that setting disabled, I get those alerts constantly even when there is no severe weather in the forcast... sucks!
Are you sure you do not have the "Alert reminder" turn on? Or are you actually getting multiple text messages? I also live in the DFW area. I also got this warning. However, I got one and only one text and only once did it sound off.
Its only gone off once for me, but it seemed pretty accurate. There had been a flash flood warning for PART of my county (uses the polygon warning boxes), and it didn't go off for me until I drove into the warned area. Only went off once too. Though I must add that we were under a flash flood warning again a couple of days ago and it never went off. I'm using a custom rom now so I'm curious if something was removed or changed that it depends on.
Has anyone with a custom rom received any alerts?

Possibly a couple reasons for this:
When weather alerts are issued they are based on the polygon warning boxes. So you could have just been outside the warning area.
The tower you were connected with may have been outside the warned area.
If you are using the old radio and had wifi on, you may have the bug where sms/mms may not have been working properly.
GoSMS may have tried to intercept the message but isn't able to process CMAS msgs. (Not sure how those 3rd party apps work though)
Could be they are still ironing out the kinks in the system.
Who knows what else?!

Once u install open up and scroll down and hit settings storage. Then click settings.db then secure. Then u want to create a new record with the menu button. After that paste this into the name
sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms
And for the value u want 0
REBOOT AFTER DOING THIS OR IT WONT WORK!
I have my modified settings.db but i think that there is different settings.db on each rom. So i dont think i should post it

It should take care of it. You're setting the clock to check the amount of texts to 0. This is eliminating the check from starting.

Trying this on my HTC One XL. I've had this issue since I was on my Galaxy S2 and it drives me crazy. Crossing my fingers and hoping this works.
EDIT: Amazing! I was completely locked out of SMS because I reached my limit and there was no dialogue box that let me go past the limit... it just refused to send any messages... After I did this MOD it works like a champ!
Does this have to be done in both the System and Secure sections of the settings.db?
Not to pee on everyone's parade here, but isn't SQLite editor a paid app you are linking to for free? Warez?
haha i never had this issue before i used sms bomer lots of times and never goten a warning xD
I did it ! :d

Really really weird bug. ROM? Phone? ATT?

Once a day, at least, i won't get text at all. For a period of time. Then if anyone did text me during that time I'll get all texts at once at a later time. ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS??? ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Ex:
Wife text me at 5:00 "Hi babe"
5:15 - Babe?
5:30 - Hellooo??
6:00- OK text me when you have time.
At 6:20 (just an example not the exact time) I'll get everything at once.

Something similar happened to my girl's phone a couple months ago. 2 separate occasions about 2 weeks apart, but definitely not daily as u have stated. She could send text just fine, but wasn't receiving them. I found that if I sent her a picture with the text, making it an MMS it would go through... Pretty weird!! Anyway after about 3 days of not receiving regular text, she had like 300 + messages come through in the middle of the night!! Lol... She woke up thinking her alarm was going off...

That has to be on AT&T's side. I have my AT&T S3 unlocked on T-Mobile, and it's working great! Absolutely no issues except that T-Mobile still uses the 1700 band instead of 1900 in some areas, so I'm on EDGE instead of HSDPA in non-refarmed areas. Thankfully they are building LTE quickly (as well as refarming), but I fixed data issues by using the ODIN mods on the AWS enabling thread.
Okay that was mostly OT lol XD but you might want to call AT&T, or switching your Mms.apk (it's probably SecMms.apk since it's a Samsung Phone). Hope that helps!
That hapoened to me a long time ago on a carrier called virgin (they're extremely awful don't go to them) but I think it stopped at one point and went back to normal.
Hold on, I have another trick, go to loserskater's stock 4.1.2 ROM/OTA. They posted the latest firmware that's flashable without Odin! It has a radio so that can help.
You also flash other radios in Odin too I guess.

Some idiot spammed my numer what to do???!!!

Hello so yesterday I put my galaxy gear for sale on craiglist. I got a message from a person telling me hes interested and what not. Should of been smarter but this guy told me he will be calling me from some craiglist security thing to make sure I wassnt spam of fake. So I told him it sounds shady he could be a scammer but to go ahead and call because I aint one. He said when I call you dial 41 so I can reach you. So the call came im. I dialed 41 and the background voice said that my account was now active like wtf? What account. I hanged up immediately. I have had like 4 phone calls of random numbers starting with area code 214. Also I got the callback number from this one voice mail I received I lookes it up on the Internet and nothing came up. Can anyone help me out here?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Lol yeah call ur provider and let them know. U dialing 41 made it legal. So what ever the charge is they might make you pay it. You might have to appeal it and maybe even go to cops and file report to get charges reversed. Good luck
Wow really? Wow. People with no lifes. So what I do is call tmobile and tell them what happened? Do you happen to know what was it for? How can this even be resolved changing numbers
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Hence the reason why I don't use Craigslist. Plus ALWAYS get a Google Voice number if you're going to use Craigslist. Then you use that and have it forwarded to you phone and then you can just delete the google voice number if you don't want it anymore.

If you're trying to forward voicemails to Google Voice with a T-Mobile prepaid plan, it won't work. T-Mobile doesn't allow it. That might be your issue.
Have you checked T-Mobile for the list of calls made to or from your account? Might want to do that.

This was actually on the news in my town.
It's a new cell phone scam.
They call you, and when you answer, it says to press a few numbers and then it charges your account.
It happened to a couple about 2 hours from me, they got charged almost $2,000 because they merely answered their phone.
People have nothing better to do than sit around and figure out how to mess with people.

I got that "content block" from tmobile. Any 3rd party charges to any charges at all on my tmobile account will not work. My account is now protected from any charges last time I spoke to tmobile they told me no chargers where made to my account. But at least I can rest assured tmobile got my account blocked out of any unauthorized access. Didn't even know you could do that. It's free

Yea it's pretty pathetic what people will do for $, but wow exactly why would anyone answer their cellphone and press numbers. Some problems and scams only work because people have lack of intelligence. I mean just look at the U S go ferment. Biggest scam to date

There was an article on Phandroid about this cell phone scam the other day. Don't know if it's the same as this but sounds just like it.
