You don't. It comes from the national weather service only when there is some type of weather related emergency in your area. It's all in the name of safety.

Happened to me tonight for flash flooding and a severe thunderstorm. Mine and my wife's phone got them and we were together. Made for quite the racket. lol
Still, as I said earlier it's important info so I keep it on.
Besides, I'm a firefighter/paramedic. It lets me know when I'm going to get busy.

Heh. I think I got 8 or 9 alerts yesterday for flash flooding and thunderstorms but I've not seen a drop of rain in the past 48 hours. Anyways, I turned off severe alerts but left extreme and amber alerts on. Plus, I was wondering why I couldn't turn off "Presidential Alerts" and here's why:

You can delete the sounds from /system/media/somefolder
I forget the folder name (might be mms) but there are a few audio files you can delete if you want the alerts but want them silent.

You are correct. They are in the mms folder and called: atis_tia_cmas_alert.mp3 and kddi_earthquake_alert.mp3.
you can also lower your "media volume"

It's amazing..We should've had exactly this as stock. (It also just called my OGVO a 'tablet'.) It also doesn't seem to be hampered by 30 fps in carousel, and it flies....(no pun intended)
I don't know if anyone else is using their EVO as a backup, WiFi only device...I'm guessing with the Evo3d's release, that I'm not the only one...If so, (and I found this info in the Flyer forums) there is a free Market app called Line2 that let's you make free unlimited phone calls and texts over WiFi...It takes about 30 seconds to set up, and works flawlessly, assigns a new # based on where you live, and even includes a voicemail service...
Also, I found out that HTC included a native screenshot function in the Flyer (WHY NOT THE EVO3D, HTC?), that works WITHOUT that stylus/pen. Apparently, if you press/hold power, then press home, a screenshot is taken..Does anyone else know if that is still a working function in the port, and if so, where are the .jpgs stored?
I've included a few landscape pics that show the Carousel, the pull-down notification bar that has a scrolling Quick Settings section (different than ours) and that 'Line2' dialer...Am loving this ROM, it got me to finally replace the shattered digitizer on a backup Evo. Try This if you still have an OGVO...
We NEED this full-on version of Sense 3.0...

you probably dont have the extended commands thing that comes with nearly all custom ROMs. Either find an extended EPST.apk or get a ROM that has what you need.

It depends on what network you're using. Sprint is up but I'm not sure about the others. Although Verizon managed to freak out a bunch of people by sending out a test message saying everyone was about to die and forgetting to note that it was just a test.

With the new Sprint Voicemail, if you accidentally delete the voicemail, you can recover it. By default it's not removed from the phone permanently for 30 days, which you can shorten the timeframe.

Everyone is right, this is a new type of alert that the FCC is starting to use across the nation. It is supposed to alert you of anything that may harm a population.
To turn it off, go to your stock messaging app. Go into settings, and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click "Emergency Alerts" and uncheck any that you don't want. The only alert you cannot opt of is the Presidential Alert. Also, you do NOT get charged for anything.
Also, does anyone know if you will still get this alert if you do not use the stock messaging app? I'm using goSMS.
I have gotten the alert twice in the last week, once while driving in a severe thunderstorm in Connecticut and the second time today during a severe thunderstorm in New Jersey.
Both times the alert was for a Flash Flood Warning. Are these the only ones currently going out? I actually wouldn't mind alerts for Severe Thunderstorms, but I have not seen any.
Also, you will still get the messages in GoSMS. They show up as coming from "#CMAS#Severe".
Thank you!
The FCC has said about the alerts is that you will get an alert for:
1. Alerts issued by the President
2. Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
3. Amber Alerts
I think severe thunderstorm warnings would at least be covered - I'm not sure about watches though. From what the FCC said, it makes it seem that they warnings would at least be covered, since severe thunderstorms can definitely pose "imminent threats to safety or life."
