Yesterday was a national warning day in Germany. On my device OP North N10 (Develop 144),there was no alarm over Cell Broadcast

@dosolly Have you checked if CB is activated in the system-settings? For my Volla/GS290 it has worked yesterday, but I had to do some tricks to get it activated.

Oh yes, checked it several times. But would you tell us your tricks, perhaps

@dosolly On my Volla it isn't activated after cold boot and I can't activate it through system-settings. So I've created a systemd-timer and a corresponding systemd-service that enables CB via ofona-scripts.

Timer:

[Unit]
Description=Aktivieren von Cell-Broadcast

[Timer]
OnBootSec=2min
Unit=enable-cbs.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Service:

[Unit]
Description=Aktivieren von Cell-Broadcast

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/share/ofono/scripts/enable-cbs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

After that you have to enable timer and service and CBS is enabled 2 minutes after a cold boot.
The CB-test yesterday showed me, that it's working (before, there was no way to check it )

Thanks a lot, will try it later.

Today there was a test of CBS in several regions in Germany. @dosolly Do you live in one of those areas (I think it was in NRW, RLP and HE) and have received CBS-messages?
@lduboeuf On my Volla22/GS5 (24.04-1.2 stable) I only received the clear-signal but not the alert-message itself. I've selected all alarms in the system-settings. My old Nokia which was next my UT-Phone received the alert with the same provider without a problem. Can it be that the CBS-message-ID which was used for the test-alert is not registered in our CBS-settings? I tried to get the registered message-IDs via the "test-cbs-script", but it returned an error

What do you mean by " I only received the clear-signal but not the alert-message itself." ?

Like Ratchanan reported on the Volla 22, the "presidential alert" did not worked ( it should not needed to be subscribed in theory )

@lduboeuf First there was the alert-message (I don't know which message-id was used right now) and after 30 minutes there was there clear-message for this alert which says, that the alert is over.
I only received the second message (clear) but not the first one (alert). Is there an option to get the subscribed message-ids? The above mentioned test-cbs-script doesn't work for me.
