I receive an alert notification sound maybe every ten minutes during the day, but can't figure out what the notification is for. Set it to "Medium" (=no sound anymore, but you'll still see the icon, a triangle in her case, in the status bar indicating that you're roaming) or "Low" (=you won't be notified at all when you're roaming).we chose "Medium" and enjoyed the ensuing silence.ĭid the trick for us and restored sanity. Instead tap the words "Verizon Roaming Status"ġ2. There you'll see "Verizon Roaming Status", but the switch will be grayed out (can't change it)ġ0.
ALERT NOTIFICATION SOUNDS ANDROID
Tap the third "Phone" entry (on her phone, it has a generic android icon next to it, not a telephone handset)ĩ. Scroll way down to the entries called "Phone" (there are three of them on her phone)Ĩ. Tap "Show system" in the little menu that drops down thenħ. Tap the three little dots at the top-right corner of the next screenĦ. Tap "Notifications" (yes, again, it's a new point, on her phone with a bell next to it)ĥ. SOLVED our problem (on a Verizon phone): turn off roaming notification (after finally finding it.)Ĥ.You still see what came in when you check your screen, but again, you won't hear calls coming in. Rather pointless (unless you enjoy taking off the communicative shackle, which is nice every once in a while)Įffect the same as setting it to flight mode.
Would leave her here (and you in your barn) without contact to the outer world. And yes, it's pretty annoying to have it "ding" every few minutes.
I guess it's same when you're on your farm - and whenever you are out of reach of "your" carrier. My mother-in-law's phone (also a Motorola) did the same - in the end, it was (as you suspected) the phone relentlessly telling her she was roaming whenever she connected to another carrier than Verizon (which happens a lot when she visits us in Germany )).
