What do you use as your texting app? Do you use Google Voice integration?

 

I use hangouts and have full GV integration and get ALL (too many) alerts. 

 

Edit: They do not come as SMS though, they come as popups over whatever you are doing.

 

They also keep coming OVER AND OVER again every 2-3min after you dismiss them until the alert expires. Maybe you should be thankful you do not get them!?

I have never received alerts.  It has always been on by default.  I am using Textra SMS, and I am not using Google Voice integration.

 

They would've been nice to have had the last few days.  Quite a bit of severe weather around the Madison area Monday-Wednesday, with most of it being during the overnight hours.

 

Oh well.  I have other ways to get alerts.

I use hangouts, and also have full Google voice integration. When I got the test, it didn't appear to come up as SMS or anything I had seen before. My entire screen faded out showing only the wallpaper and a giant notification window. It certainly wasn't anything like my EVO had for alerts.

Ok, so it sounds like things are working properly for you. You can change the reminder settings I believe. I need to be able to get them, it's important.

I use chomp SMS for text.

 

So it would appear that you have to use Hangouts to get them. I use Textra as well, and have never received an alert. That's rather unfortunate, as we should be able to get alerts no matter what.

Yeah for some reason only the system texting app can actually get alerts. If you owned a Galaxy S5, for instance, Hangouts can't get alerts since it too is a secondary texting app. You can only get alerts via the Samsung messaging app. Stupid, but that's how it is.

If the alerts actually come as an SMS, this is likely Textra filtering them out, apps should not do that, maybe contact the devs?? I got the same alerts before the Hangouts SMS integration.

I have received alerts while using textra, I've always used it. It actually got to a point a month or so ago where it was going off so much I couldn't sleep through the night lol, so I turned it off.

Has anyone with B41 in their area tested out the new radio? I remember hearing that it was pretty weak on B41 compared to other Spark devices... I would be interested in hearing if the new radio helps at all with it.

 

I don't see much change here in stl. B41 still does not connect in the same places as my m8.

The Amber and Severe Alerts? On the N5 while using Textra? Any idea how?

They aren't SMS, and do not display as SMS. It's a different service entirely. Generated at specific cell sites to target small geographic areas. That's why I'm confused, it shouldn't matter what texting app you used (though it seems to matter) because they aren't texts.

Yup both of them. Really it was one Amber and a crap load of Severe weather alerts. To be honest I had not touched the settings on the n5 for alerts, and I have not touched anything in textra except to turn dark mode on and sent text sounds, oh and to adjust mms size. So I would think unless you've messed with something your settings should be the same as mine are.

Weird. I haven't changed the settings at all, and have never gotten an alert.

Could it be a completely unrelated app? Do you have Xposed installed, I would imagine app oops or Xprivacy could be used to block them.

No way to block them like that.

Sounds like it is an area issue, like eCSFB (but way more serious if ppl aren't getting alerts).

See but two of us are within hours of each other, and I've even gotten alerts in the town listed as his home...

I don't think I received the alert where it makes your phone go off in a while. However I do get the alerts through Google Now!!!!

 

Google Now alerts are useless, they can be up to 30 minutes late. Sometimes I get them after the warning has already ended.

No, nothing unusual installed, am not rooted or anything either.

These alerts aren't handled by that. I was not getting them before there was any LTE at all around here. I was getting them on my HTC One, GS3 and EVO LTE before my N5.

I wasnt saying it was handled by eCSFB, obviously not, but a similar issue that maybe some software issue tower by tower is not turned on in certain areas?

My device out of the blue just lit up and did a profile update followed by a prl update. Never seen a profile update get initiated by the network like that before. Is it normal and I have just never seen it happen?

Mine too, and ruined my custom PRL : \

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
