The long awaited headless (full background) version of Emergency Alert. It’s available now for download from the BlackBerry App World<\/a>.<\/p>\n When upgrading from the previous version, you will need to edit and correct your rules, as per the instructions in the app.<\/p>\n As always, we appreciate feedback – please let us know if you have any suggestions or issues. The easiest way to reach me is on the BBM Channel –\u00a0C002F049C<\/a>.<\/p>\nAs for the changes…<\/h1>\n
\n
\nNo need to leave the app open to process alerts any more! With the app closed, messages will be filtered and rules will fire. To dismiss the alert, press the pause media key, or launch the app to dismiss the dialog.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>You can now set a customisable vibrate pattern or LED colour for each rule!<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Rules and filters can now be backed up and restored.<\/li>\n
\nThe ability to have multiple filters per rule is now supported. For example, you can filter emails coming from a specific email address, containing a specific word in the subject.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>You must now select an account and folder for each rule.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>You can quickly and easily mute alerts by pressing the pause media key – handy for when you need to unlock your device!<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Permissions will be checked on startup, and you will be prompted for any vital ones that may affect the ability to alert you.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Rules are scanned and validated when you launch the app. Any misconfigured or invalid rules will be disabled and show a prompt telling you what’s wrong (e.g. a custom mp3 file you selected could not be found – in this case the default alert sound will play until you select a different mp3).<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>There are a lot of improvements\u00a0to the app layout to make it fit with recommended application design guidelines.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Allows you to open email messages if the app is launched to dismiss the alert.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>You can turn on hub notifications within the app settings, which allows you to view any alerts you may have missed.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Now shows realtime messages stats, such as message scanner status, messages processed, and alerts fired.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Include links to the FAQ\/user guide, and a link to our BBM channel.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Allows you to change options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPlease note:<\/h1>\n
