I never turned them off so an update or something had to have done it. Check your phones frens.

Well, on my phone there is a section called 'Wireless Emergency Alerts' and the 'Allow Alerts' slider at the top was OFF and everything below it (Amber alerts, Extreme threats, Public safety messages, State and local tests, etc.) were all off.
mine is set up to be the same as my ringer so if mine is on vibrate it vibrates and silent mode etc
All I was just saying there was No Alerts in regards to the Presidential Address to the Nation. As for why yours was off there's two possibilities, One operator mistake or an update reset your phone. The WEA is all part of the system and needs to be enable on your phone for you local Alerts, from my understanding you can only disable local Alerts, but not a Presidential alert in which FEMA has control of and can not be over ridden. It was going around that Apple was doing an update to disable the the National alert system on iPhone not sure if that is even possible.
Yeah, I understand. I mainly posted this because I know a week or so back there were rumors that iPhone updates were disabling the EAS and I figured with all the GoogleAppleFacebookTwitter happenings that Google might to the same with Android.
