I just had an alert show up in my phone. Scared to poopie out if me. It was from National Weather Service about a sand storm in my area.

This was added on an update to the Bionic back in December.

That is VERY similar to the Emergency Alert app on the Motorola Droid Bionic running both GINGERBREAD and ICS (leaks)… the alerts are infrequent on Bionic, but i got one on ICS, and a friend got one on GB. Like the Setting menu is almost the same.

I never had it on my Razr. I wish it was in Axiom but it isn’t right now. My point was that most phones haven’t seen this functionality and I am figuring it may become a staple on JB roms as we move forward.

The text messages that people are receiving are part of the Wireless Emergency alert system that went live June 28th. http://www.informationweek.com/government/mobile/wireless-emergency-alert-system-goes-liv/240002942
Not all phones are set up to receive these messages and not all carriers are set up (Sprint and Verizon are ready). All cell phones manufactured at the end of 2014 should be set up to receive them.

Weatherbug has helped me out too like that with tornadoes here in Missouri.
I’d like to see everyone get an amber alert text to every one’s cellphone the moment it comes out. If everyone everywhere got the alert with a picture and information and telling them to stop for a second and just look around you where ever you are, I think could help a lot and may even find missing children faster.
