How to turn off public notifications on your phone?

Lenovo

Let's consider a similar example with the android LenovoK 910. In this case, it is also possible to disable the message flow in several ways.
Let's start with the “standard” procedure for such cases:

Go to “Applications”;
Then go to the “Alerts” tab;
Find “Public Alerts” and uncheck the “Disable” box.

Remember that the “Public Alert” item is usually marked with a megaphone icon. If your phone model does not have such an icon, then you can replace the SIM card in the device, which displays the “emergency alerts” section.

In the case mentioned above, the avalanche of messages will stop bothering you.

The last method we would like to name is flashing the gadget with a custom build “Dr. Oweida 4. 4. 2".

Method for iPhone

Important! There is no need to restart the messenger and mobile device; the settings will be applied automatically.

After this, you need to launch the messenger. “Informing disabled” will appear on the screen . After reading the text, you need to click “Ok”.

Launch the desktop version of Viber.
Go to settings (upper right corner).
Open the “Information” category.
Select the item “Grouped, messages and all calls” from the “Play sounds for...” .

Important: Notifications in the messenger can also be changed in its settings.

To manage notifications, the messenger provides several options. This applies to both mobile applications and those developed for the computer. Notifications on your smartphone are disabled in a few steps, which are suggested below:

The following options are available:

How to turn off notifications in Android 5.0

To do this, when you receive an unwanted notification, you need to click on it and hold your finger on the screen until the notification is highlighted in black. After this, you need to click on the button with the letter “i”, which will appear on the right side of the notification.

After clicking on the button with the letter “i”, a window will appear on the screen in which you can turn off notifications. To do this, just activate the notification blocking function.

It should also be noted that in the Android 5.0 settings there is a separate section called “Sounds and Notifications”, where you can fine-tune the display of notifications.

Afterword

In conclusion, I can say one more thing. They write on the Internet that it is possible to disable the public notification on the operator’s side by executing some USSD command, but we were unable to find such a solution. Operators refer this problem to the smartphone manufacturer. Therefore, I would really like to hear the opinion of Lenovo representatives regarding this problem on their devices.

Increasingly, owners of Android devices have begun to encounter broadcast messages. Moreover, it is not possible to take them and simply get rid of them. Usually you have to delete them because of duty, but after that they still arrive on the device like an avalanche. As a result, such “surprises” bring not only the owner of the device to the brink of madness, but also the smartphone itself begins to slow down terribly.

Procedure for disabling “Public Alert”

Superuser rights are not required to disable such notifications. The whole process lasts a few seconds, there are no risks for the device.

Open the gadget settings. This item can be accomplished in different ways: use the corresponding icon in the menu or select the gear icon in the notification panel.
We launch the list of programs. It can be opened by selecting the "Device" tab, where "Application" is located. This menu is distinguished by the presence of a robot icon.

We activate the demonstration of system processes. They can be displayed by clicking on the 3 dots at the top of the screen. Then select “Show system processes”.

In the proposed list you should find “Public Alert”, open it. The program is Russian-language, differs from other software by the blue gramophone icon. A quicker option for finding an application is to scroll the screen or use the search engine (magnifying glass icon).

We prohibit the program from accessing SMS. First we enter “Public Alert”, then into the “Permissions” menu.

Deactivate SMS permission.

Once the user completes the above instructions, they will no longer see notification messages.

A few words about how to remove the “Return to Viber” notification. This instruction is necessary only for owners of Android devices; there is no such problem on iPhones:

Want to turn off notifications in Viber to get rid of intrusive reminders from certain people? Don't forget that you may miss an important call or message! In order not to wonder why messages are not being received on Viber, do not forget to check the settings of this function.

The same instructions can be used to disable notifications in Viber on Android - the action algorithms will be identical.

All necessary operations are carried out in a few seconds. As a result of their implementation, it will become clear how to mute the sound of messages in Viber or remove vibration. By the way, this could not be done in older versions of the software.

Go to the “Notifications” .

Three ways to disable public notification on Android

Don't be upset if you think that such messages will never be deleted. At the same time, in order to get rid of numerous spam, you need to do the steps described below.

Method 1: Disable Push Messages

The first thing to start with is to find the “Messages” icon on the desktop and click it. Going there, look for “Options” or “Settings”. Having opened the found menu, you must select the section “ Information messages”

", on some devices they may be called "Push messages", or "Network messages". Next, after unchecking all the boxes, you will have to reboot your smartphone.

Method 2: Removing spam from information messages

Go to “Messages” and look for the “Options” or “Settings” item. After that, go to the found menu and look for “SMS/MMS Settings” there. Then you need to go to “Information Message Settings”. In the same way, uncheck all the boxes and reboot the device.

Method 3: Turn off the public notification function

We go to “Settings”, after which we look for the section with wireless networks. After that, click “More”. In the menu that opens, we look for the section that would be responsible for notifying the population. Uncheck all checkboxes and reboot the device.

Of course, if these methods are too complicated for you, you can try blocking messages using Titanium or CDMaid

(root). You can also go to a mobile phone store and turn off this newsletter there.

Question: Good afternoon. A couple of days ago I bought a SIM card from an operator that supports 3G, because... I need fast mobile internet. And suddenly I was faced with an unexpected problem: some strange messages with hieroglyphs called “Public Alert” began to arrive on my phone. Messages come in hundreds and you have to delete them one by one. But the most annoying thing is not even this, but the fact that these notifications instantly drain the battery. After all, the phone constantly beeps and vibrates. Therefore, I have to charge my phone 3 times a day - both at home and at work.

I also understand that it somehow depends on my movement around the city - in some place the phone is at rest, and in another there may be silence again. There may be silence for a couple of hours, and then the pop-up “population alert” messages begin to arrive again. I have a Lenovo A1000 smartphone, which I bought a month ago. Before this, we used another operator that operates in 2G mode, and there were no such problems on the same smartphone.

So, in this article we will try to collect all possible solutions. Unfortunately, one thing helps some, something completely different helps others. Some solutions can be called solutions - they are more like a way around the problem.

System disable notifications

The ability to configure notifications has begun to be introduced from devices based on Android Jelly Bean; on such devices, you can either completely disable notifications for each individual application, or enable them all. In Android 6, finer settings have appeared that allow you to adjust the frequency, sound and other parameters.

Users of the latest versions just need to press and hold on the annoying pop-up notification until the opportunity to manage it appears.

In just two steps, you can switch all notifications from the application to silent mode or block them altogether. If this is not enough, you should go to “Other Settings”.

By turning off automatic mode by pressing the letter “A”, you can adjust the level of importance by moving the slider. Depending on its position it changes:

Sound and vibration mode;
Priority of notification relative to others;
Permission to show messages on the lock screen.

Additional options are available below that allow you to determine what information will be available on the locked screen - this way you can allow the display of all data, with the exception of personal data (for example, the contents of messages) or block notifications of this nature and not show them without unlocking the device.

Also, notifications from this application can be moved to the “Important” category, and in this case they will make themselves known even in “Do not disturb” mode. By setting a frequency limit, you will not hear more than one alert within a specified period of time (from 10 seconds to 30 minutes).

How to go to the notifications section?

There is another way to go to the same menu to set up notifications for each application.

Go to your phone settings. The gear icon is located in the general menu or on the right side of the curtain.

Under the “Device” heading, click on “Applications.” Having selected the appropriate utility from the list, click on the “Notifications” section.

In versions earlier than Android 6, there is no such section; you can check or uncheck the “Enable notifications” item in the settings of the selected application.

If this option is not available on your phone, you should update the shell or go to the settings of the application itself.
