Cell Broadcast alerts (Germany)

Would be nice to get the exact model no. I suppose Dual SIM (Xperia 10 III dual XQ-BT52)?

#123

yes -----------------------20 characters

#124

In my case, the phone and location were the same compared to last year. That time, my XA2 single SIM received an alert notification, today it didn’t.
So changes within SFOS might also be a factor.

#125

you must be kidding, this is just insane

#126

Unfortunately I am not kidding.
Sony XA2 (H3113) no CB display, XA2 (H4213) at least CB message - same provider/network, same cell.

Is there anyone in the forum who received CB messages with an H3113? Maybe different message ID’s like location add-on’s e.g. city location provided by Swiss providers?

Well I have received a CB message with a H3113 last year. This time around, crickets.

Do you know, which Sony vendor image is in use (v16 or v17B) ?

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.4_r1_v16_nile.zip
SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.4_r1_v17B_nile.zip

or maybe some image for Android 9 ?

#131

In my case it’s v16 for Android 8.

Today national test of warning systems (including cell broadcast) in Germany - received the warning, but still without sound. Could this please be fixed?! A silent warning is not very useful, and this is an essential feature

Did not receive the warning on my Xperia 10 III with Sailfish 4.6.0.13 (Sauna) on Vodaphone.

My Android phone received the warning although it doesn’t have a SIM.

I also received a silent warning on my XA2 (with Vodafone).
A warn message with sound would be useful and the warnmessage should be stored.
The display was off at that time.
I only saw the message when I pressed the power button to turn on the display (while my colleagues’ iPhones and Androids were entertaining the whole office with their warning noises).

I did not expect this feature to be defunctional on newer phones (I still have an XA2 Ultra). Or might this be provider-dependent?

#136

Quite possibly provider-dependent. I also receive normal text messages sent once by the sender multiple times on occasion, and a very long text message I wrote was only delivered to the recipient hours later once.

#137

I also received a silent warning on my XZ2 Compact with German Carrier Blau.de.

#138

I did not receive any message. …
Edit: on X10III with 2 simcards: 1

  1. freenet on t-mobile net and 2. Vodafone
#139

Only warning for me was via Apocalypse some time after the alert.
On Wetell (which works on Vodafone network), Xperia 10 III, SFOS 4.6.0.13.

#140

I also didn’t recieve any sort of a message
neither with an Xperia 10 ii with Deutsche Telekom (Comgstar) SIM
nor with an Xperia 10 iii with Vodafone (Germany) SIM

#141

No message -again- in an Xperia 10 III in Germany with German Vodafone SIM. My Android phone with Spanish SIM received it.
