Oddly enough, on my phone, I've noticed that if I have the phone set to silent, I do not get that blaring alarm. When the notification came in, the phone buzzed and the noise of it vibrating on the wood surface on which the phone was sitting was enough to wake me, so I didn't get that shock of being woken up by that incredibly loud alarm.

I don't understand this wired up the wazoo 24/7.dependency. It reeks of an artificial life, a need to be "ON line".
even Hookers take a break. lol
Amber Alert was warranted. After dropping his wife at the entrance he mindlessly drove off with the kids. I'm not sure he was even aware of their presence in his state No doubt she was aware of his deteriorating condition and had it covered to this point. I doubt the parents would have let the grandparents babysit had they known of its severity.things change

Never mind thousands of cars pulling over to check as wellWe may not be good but at least we'll be slow - PB

Phones work differently, of course, but with my phone, I turn down the media volume, and as long as the system volume is on, my alarm works. The Amber Alert only buzzes. That may depend on whether the clock being used is a native app or third party. I use the native app on my Galaxy.We may not be good but at least we'll be slow - PB

While I completely agree that this system is necessary and am not unhappy that it woke me up (I've got a kid), it could be improved.
A friend and I were discussing that with all the tech in phones now, it shouldn't be hard to isolate which phones should and should not receive the message. If my phone hasn't moved for over 2-3 hours, it probably means I am sleeping and would be no use even if I received the alert. However if my phone has been pinging off of multiple towers, then clearly I am in a position to potentially assist. That's just one idea.

Anyone know if having the phone on Airplane mode would prevent the alert?
when I use my phone as an alarm clock I always put it on airplane mode so that emails or other notices are not disruptive.Still getting the hang of this game!
In the Ogio Atlas for riding or Ogio Vaporlite for carrying:
Ping G2 with HOT PINK Grafalloy Bimatrix
Srixon W-403 AD 5 wood
Nike 23 degree hybrid
Ping eye2+ irons 5-PW

Not sure if iPhone does that but you've given me a reason to go looking for it. That said, I'd kick myself if I silenced it and slept through an Amber alert that I possibly could have helped out.
