    I'm in the office, working with my laptop. My Q10 is connected to charge the battery and suddenly my phone starts to toot. It's "toot toot toot ..." in strict time, alarming me that I should probably throw it out of the window before it explodes. I was baffled, wondering what's going on. I picked up the phone, everything seemed to work fine. I turned off the volume, but it kept tooting - prettly loudly in fact. I opted to restart the phone, but even in the process it didn't stop. So I removed the battery and now everything seems to be OK again. It's charging ... quietly.

    WTF HAPPENED?

    Theft alarm activated? Or maybe it really was gonna explode? (joking) . Did you set an alarm or perhaps calendar reminder?

    Alarms get dismissed after pressing the volume rockers

    Check this. I think emergency alerts go off even if the profile is vibe only.

    I woke up at 2am after hearing a toot. Turns out, it was my girlfriend farting in her sleep. Later today though, it occurred to me that my Q10 does "toot toot" here and there (rarely). I've always figured it was my emergency alert and it has a bug that enables the notification sound, but no hub notification. Idk.

    Well ... I turned off BB Protect, but found nothing in the (hub) settings regarding emergency alerts.

    Get that phone checked, perhaps your phone has been rigged into a time bomb.

    Don't panic, just get the thing checked.

    I'm on official VZW release 10.2.1.xxxx. Not sure about 10.3.1, but can't imagine they remove HUB settings. Swipe to hub...hit the 3 dots, you should see settings as an option. That's where it should be.
