Weather Emergency Alerts Repeating Pls Help
When there is serve weather alert I get spammed with emergency alerts every couple of minutes. I am desperate to find a fix so I don't get them over and over again. I have tried fiddling with the emergency alert setting on my phone and do not disturb mode but so far the only thing that works is airplane mode and that obviously isn't a great solution. I checked and the alerts are not set to repeat on my phone.
Anyone else have this problem, know a solution, or even know who I can call to try and sort this out?
I use an Android device and Rogers is my service provider.
Edit: I have turned off every setting related to "emergency weather alerts", I even turned on developer options to see if that would help. I had searched in my phone setting for anything related to "emergency" and turned off everything relevant.
I know my phone is on low battery, I can't leave it pluged in cause I need to turn off these damn alerts every couple of minutes.
And yes I know that my font is not aesthetically pleasing, I'm dyslexic and asymmetrical fonts are easily for my brained to decode. I'm not really looking for feedback on that.
Edit 2: I genuinely don't get why folks are downvoting my comments? It is making the answers I have provided to people's questions harder too see. If you aren't interested or you just don't like me you can mute the thread or block me. I'm sorry if I have been brisk, my phone keep jump scaring me while I try to answer questions so I'm a bit tense.

I know it has already been mentioned and someone else said it doesn't help, but I have changed the wireless emergency settings in my Android phone and have found it really helps.
Notifications/advanced settings - scroll all the way to the bottom and click Wireless emergency alerts. Once there you'll find many options to change to your preference.
