    Question Suppressed alerts ALP Android app

    Is it just me or does the ALP Android app still alerts on the phone for suppressed lockouts? Example, I come up to a K-band alert for the first time, the phone alerts me with sounds and visuals as it should, perfect. I confirm said K-band alert is a false and suppress it on the app. Next time I come up to the same suppressed K-band signal, the app still alerts me with visual but no sound. Is it possible to have to app and ALP not alert me at all (no visual and no sound) for suppressed (locked out) signals. I only want to be alerted for newly encountered signals or signals that where not suppressed. I drive in an area with lots of false K-band alerts so I suppressed the ones I know, but my phone still lights up like a Christmas tree too often when driving pass these known false(suppressed) alerts.

    That is proper function. App is allowing you to the presence of a radar signal but it does not alert. It give you visual notification and the ability to unsupress it if you choose.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    If that is the proper function then I think we need another toggle to make it work the way redliner is suggesting as well because for those of us that have the app configured to bring itself into focus when an alert is triggered are getting the unwanted visual.

    Muted alerts don't bring the app forward. Only if the app is already in front will it show that there is an alert that is suppressed.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean. By "muted alerts" do you mean suppressed alerts? I ask because in the app, muting an alert is different from suppressing it( or am I mistaken? ). To me muting an alert is tapping on the sounds/speaker icon to shut off audio alert for the current radar alert. Are you saying if I mute these false alerts once, they will remain muted the next time I come up to them and the app does not come into focus?

    So that's the problem I am having, it does for me. I always run the ALP app in the background and Waze in the foreground. The ALP app always come to the foreground for every suppressed alert (visual only, no sound). I am running the app on android. What I am requesting is that the app does not come to the foreground for suppressed alerts.

    I have android and ios devices, I have not long ago acquired a new bluetooth module v2, on the Android version of ALP Connect it allows you to pull stats from the ALP that is connected, but the iOS version does not.. Am I missing something here? Or is this something in the works for iOS?

    Stats button in ALP Connect is not available for IOS yet.
