Hi Manuel

I have to select Morse for my notification style every time I start the app on my

Android. I’ve tried using Destinations and/or Settings but if I log out and then back

in later, I have to set Morse again. I’ve tried re-installing but no change. This happens on

to different phones. Am I missing something?

Yes, if you log out in the HamAlert app and then log in again, the notification sound gets reset. The app wasn’t designed with frequent logging out in mind. Is there a reason why you need to log out and back in? I keep my app logged in all the time and have done so for years.

If you simply mean restarting the app (without explicitly logging out in the menu), then the notification sound should not be reset by that. At least on my iPhone, the Morse setting persists even if I kill and restart the app, as it should.

Hi Manuel

I usually log out of my personal phone and switch to a work phone during the week so I figured

logging out was required…

You can have multiple phones logged in to the same HamAlert account, and all of them will receive the same alerts, so there’s no need to log out. If you want to temporarily disable push notifications on a specific device, there’s a toggle switch for that in the app’s settings.
