Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131020030202

Steps to reproduce:

It affects my OPEN_FFOS_V1.1.0B01_TME (newly updated ZTE Open to 1.1), official way.
Geolocation on the phone is OFF, as well as WIFI and DATA. I'm traveling round the city (Prague) and...


Actual results:

I'm receiving unwanted system alert notifications "where I am now" (location based) and I suspect it is based on information from some cellular BTS database. In subway, every station is announced to me. I do want to have notifications turned on (because of finally working calendar notifications, thx for it, guys!!!), but those messages are abusing me... after travel to office I have fifteen or so messages and I'm forced to clear them all. I'd really like to able to get rid of them... how?


Expected results:

and do not expect any of those notifications to come...

Well, I was wrong, I've tried it today again, disabling "Show notifications on home screen" nor "Allow Geolocation for Homescreen" do not help either, messages are abusing me again and again...

Attachment: Screenshot of some received notifications - traveling around Prague is painful, I will receive maybe 14 of them without (known to me) way how to disable it...

Well, perhaps it is operator specific.
I found old press release from O2 Czech (http://mobile.o2.cz/osobni/225672-archiv_tiskovych_zprav_spolecnosti_eurotel/50839-pr_2002_05_221.html) saying it is starting Cell Info service, displaying, free-of-charge notifications on phone displays, if on 1800Hz frequency.
Perhaps it is this issue I've and no-one else (O2 in Prague).
However, on other phones (nor on the same ZTE Open with FirefoxOS 1.0) I've got no notifications at all - so perhaps it would be possible to disable it somehow?

Well, I do not know if O2 disabled the service of what, but yesterday is stopped suddenly, without me doing anything (AFAIK). So if it will not begin again, perhaps I'll close this issue, hmm...
