How to turn off Emergency Alerts on a GalaxyS4 (running 4.4.2 Kit Kat)

If you are like me, you hate those annoying Emergency Alerts that fire off when  you are in a meeting or trying to sleep, etc. Previously, you could could go to Messaging > Settings > Emergency Alerts and turn off Amber Alerts and Weather Alerts. However, in a recent update for Galaxy S4, it appears some jackwagon removed the ability to disable this "feature" from Messaging Settings.now
This approach will work with version 4.4.2 (at least). It may work with earlier versions.... Im not sure when the change was made.
If you want to turn this "feature" off, here is how you do it:
1. Click Menu
2. Go to Apps.
3. Find the Emergency Alert app. Open it.
4. Click the menu button at lower left of your phone.
5. Click Settings. A new menu will appear.
6. Click Alert Types.
7. Remove the check boxes next to Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts, and AMBER alerts (as you so choose)
8. That's it, you're done. Click the Home button and move on with your life.

If I understand your description correctly,
it's the frame manager that has the fault light.
That's an old quirk that is specific to that rack component.
It has (essentially) no impact on whatever systems are installed to the rack.
It is usually just a visual annoyance.
Use your service contract and open a support case with Sun.
That will give them a chance to help you check on everything.
They'll walk you through the correct steps of power-cycling the frame manager.
That can be done while the servers are happily serving.

  • How to turn off charge alert?

    Since I have loaded GDR2 & 3 the charging alert sounds in the middle of the night waking my wife and me. When I place the phone on the wireless charger the charging alert sounds as it always has but what is new is that the alert will sound again sometime
    later. It seams that the phone charges then when the phones battery runs down to a certain level the charger kicks in again and the alert goes off again. How can I turn off that alert? I use my phone as my morning alarm so I want to keep the volume up and
    if I put it on vibrate the noise of the vibration wakes me up. As you can imagine I am beginning to hate my phone for waking me up in the middle of the night.

    Thanks for the reply, I have found other posts on other forums that explain this issue similarly to the way you did. The phone charges then looses some of the charge over night then starts to charge again and when it stars to charge it sounds that alert.
    I don't think it is unreasonable for the battery to run down a little overnight. My battery life is really good especially since gdr2 and gdr3. But I think it is important to point out that this alert issue began with gdr2 or gdr3 or the Nokia firmware, it
    is hard to say which since they were all loaded just a few days apart. For what it is worth another issue I noticed following the upgrade is that the phone is much more sensitive to the placement of the phone on the wireless charger. If you don't get it on
    there just right it repeatedly sounds the charging alert. Again this is new behavior following the updates. I am hoping that the black update will correct the issue. BTW. My wife has a newer 920 and hers does the same thing following the updates, which leads
    me to believe that it was the updates that started the problem. Thanks for your help.

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

    I've never seen that error.
    Try a reboot of the device and THEN edit your Emergency alert notifications.
    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

  • How to turn off mouse (or touchpad) scrolling when running vim in an xterm?

    Just updated 13" macbook pro (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite (10.10.1).  Previously, when running vim in an xterm, scrolling with the touchpad did nothing inside vim, it just scrolled the xterm history back so I could see what I had done before executing vim.  Now, the same scrolling action (either with touchpad or with an external mouse with scrollwheel) moves the cursor position inside vim (if I'm in navigate mode).  I want to turn this feature off.  I'm sure some people like it but I do not.  Anyone know whether this is something to be blocked by vim settings, or perhaps something in the xterm settings I need to change?  Vim version is 7.3 (2010 Aug 15), which must be a slightly later version than I had under the original operating system, since I got it July 2010. 
    I've tried modifying various vim settings, but to no effect.  I haven't found a comprehensive list of such settings to try systematically. 

    While I do not have Yosemite up and running at the moment, I cannot actually play with Yosemite Terminal.app.  But you should at least look through the various Terminal -> Preferences to see if there is any configuration option that is telling the Terminal how to treat scroll operations.  And try things like changing the "Declare terminal as: ............." setting, as that may affect the Terminfo database entry, which Vim uses to decide on what it does with various keyboard escape keys for input as well as displaying output (not sure if that would affect scrolling input, but it is worth a shot).
    Instead of using X11 and xterm, consider giving iTerm a try.  I have been using as my terminal emulator for years, and at work I live in terminal sessions, ssh'ed into various Linux, Solaris, AIX platforms.
    <http://iterm2.com>  A newer version
    <http://iterm.sourceforge.net> an older but still viable version (I used this on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system)
    iTerm will give you Tabbed windows just like Terminal (actually had Tabbed windows years before Terminal.app).  It will allow you to define what a double-click selection thinks is a word.  It has an option to automatically load anything selected into the copy/paste buffer.
    NOTE:  I have nothing against X11 and xterm.  I also use X11 (XQuartz) all day as well as terminal sessions, with various Linux, Solaris, AIX X11 displays being sent back to my iMac at work, frequently using gvimdiff.

  • How to turn off "CD Imported Alert" for itunes

    I have a radio show where I play music from my computer while I am importing CDs and I need to know how to turn off the alert sound in itunes that tells me that a cd has been completely imported such that it will not play on my show. I just cannot find the setting to turn it off though. Please help.

    If you're doing a radio show, chances are you don't want ANY of the silly sound effects coming through your speakers. At least, I wish everyone doing audio work did that. (I hear that dumb Windows click all the time on the local NPR station.) Anyway, if you go into "System Preferences" and click on "Sound", use the "Sound Effects" tab to set the alert volume all the way to the left (off). And, while you're there, uncheck the 3 radio buttons below about playing sound effects. That should do it.

    Go to Solution.

    If you just have personal (using BIS), you can setup messages filters on your carrier's BIS website.
    If you're on a BES you'll have the choice on the device to filter your corporate emails (under Messages | Options | Email Filters). Personal emails will still be done from your carrier's website.

  • Safari and webmail email alerts - how to turn off?

    One of the webmails I use has annoying feature - it alerts me with every incoming email. Safari icon starts to jump at the Dock and a small window appears telling me that I have email!
    I have searched my webmail settings but there is no way to turn it off. So there should be one at the Safari or Mac settings but I did not find anything there either! I have turned off pop-ups but apparently this small "thing" that appears is not considered a pop-up.
    Can anyone help me how to turn off this distraction?
    Sasha
    P.S. My Mac is iMac Intel and Safari is 2.0.4

    There is an option under Preferences > Auto-Correction to "Automatically detect email and web addresses." You want that one unchecked. There is also a link inspector, second from the right, with options to enable hyperlinks or make all hyperlinks inactive. Seems contradictory to me & I've found that if a document already has some linked text, changing these preferences doesn't change the existing links. And, if you paste in something with a link the link will still be active.

    You are not talking to Apple on here, we are all fellow users and not Apple employees.  You can comment to Apple by giving feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    What we have heard is this 'feature' was added as a result of the high-profile downloads of celebrity photos from iCloud accounts.

  • Can i turn off email alerts for find my iphone

    How do you turn off email alerts for find my iphone?

    There is no way to turn it off, just reduce it. It is a new security feature. It depends on where you are logging in that is generating the email. If you are logging in from a computer browser, if you have cookies on, it should not generate the email except for the first time that you use that device. If it is from logging in to the Find My iPhone app on the iPhone or iPad, if you have a passcode lock set on the device, it will not generate the email, as you will not be logged out of the app on the phone. You just use the home button to get past the app and it stays logged in by not tracking. You open the app again and it will just take you right in without having the log in and will refresh itself.

  • NOT SURE HOW TO TURN OFF RESTRICTIONS AS i DO NOT HAVE A PASSCODE

    not sure how to turn off restrictions

    Are restrictions enabled? If they are and you don't know the restrictions passcode:
    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
