Hi guys,
I am just wondering if there is any app out there that can provide repeating alert when there is an unread sms.
For example i have my phone in my pocket and i might have missed the ring and vibration the first time it alerts me, but i would not be able to see the flashing light in the D-pad since it is in my pocket.
What would be nice if there is a repeat alert system which will ring the phone and vibrate the phone again in a short period of delay say every 3minutes, until the sms has been attended to.
Let me know if there is any useful app that could do the trick! thanks!
I'm using alarmPal and it works perfect! You can also try OS Remind Me But alarmPal is having more options. Here you go
SPB Phone Suite does this and also missed call reminders and notification rules etc.
Repeat SMS Notification
I have been using a wonderful application called phoneAlarm by Pocketmax

Let me know how it works!

alarmPal is the minimal version of phoneAlarm, which not requires a today plugin. So if you're looking only for an extra notification on all kind of alers, choose alarmPal.

My ATT Tilt is set to retrieve my e-mail every 15 minutes. When I use my "Alarms" to wake me in the morning I get awakened if I get a message or e-mail during the night. Is there a sound profile or something that would allow sound for just the alarm and silence the message notices? WM 6.1
I have read where phones with WM6.1 have this feature. Go to Settings->system->clocks & alarms. Go to the "more" tab. There should be a selection available to sound alarms even when device is set to silent or vibrate. Then you can set your phone silent and still get your alarm. Hopefully it is there. It is on this cooked one I'm using.
There is only one option under the more tab. it is "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs."
then just disable the notifications sounds for texts and email. my email notification is silent. and noone is stupid enough to send me a text in the middle of the night (except my sister on occasion when she gets drunk)

Not all ROM's have this feature..it depends upon the builds
take a look at phonealarm application if you want to have full control on your notifications/sounds/profiles etc.
Thanks. I looked at the ap. It's $25! I might try the trial version, but I don't think I want to spaend that much for such a minor annoyance.

u can download spb phone suite for free on xda.
im new to the touch pro seen since i have switched to the iphone from a polaris and tilt. i was wondering if there are any repeat alerts on the fuse for missed calls, vm, sms? i know that on the polaris and tilt, treo alerts along with mortscript worked...on the fuse i cant seem to get it to work...has anyone made a hack or cab for repeat alerts on the fuse...thanks in advanced...
yea ive been looking for repeat alerts for my SMS Tone, but when we go into settings, the BOX to check in "repeat alert" is Greyed out, so we can choose it
is this still unresolved?!
I use Best Reminder, mself.
Works a treat.
Thanks!! I will try that
for the record, I tried "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" but it didnt work on my fuze. The damn "repeat" check box in sounds & notifications remains grayed out and disabled.
It sounds like best reminder will do the trick for me, thanks
damnit, that one also doesnt meet my needs.
I need a repeating alarm for REMINDERs, i.e. tasks with alarms.
None of these seem to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRrrrrrrr
to top off my anger, "Best Reminder" doesnt have any method to uninstall it!!!!!!

Try Spb Pocket Plus.
Here is a quote from a review MobileTechReview did:
Reviewer @ MobileTechReview said:
One of the handiest features in Pocket Plus has to be the repeat alarm function. This fills a silly gap left by Microsoft in Windows Mobile. Not only does Pocket Plus enable repeat alarms, but you can specify any .WAV file to play and set the volume of the alarm independent of the system volume. That’s great for morning wake-up alarms while traveling when the sound may have been muted for meetings. Alarms may even ascend in volume, which is my favorite setting. If I’m in a loud location, the alarm will be heard when the volume reaches near maximum, but if I’m in a quiet area I can catch it early and avoid annoying everyone in earshot. Sweet.
Using the Settings tab, repeating alarms may be enabled for the built-in clock and/or for task alarms. You can set a minimum battery level below which the repeated alarm function will be disabled.

It's the second-last paragraph that you're probably interested in.

I hope this works for you!

Spb Phone Suite has to be one of the most awesome phone apps out there. I swear by it, m'self.
I don't use it any more because I use TouchFlo and don't want to bloat my device but for anybody that has disabled TouchFlo, the question is: why AREN'T you using Spb Phone Suite???
I agree with the previous post. I love SPB Phone suit and the features are out weight using the TF3D.
Anyway if you want the repeat download the a cab called "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" it will allow you to check the repeat Notification box. I tested and it works on my Att Fuze with HTC WWE Rom
I didn't know about a cab for this but I used the instructions Here and got what I needed. Worked fine for me.
hello,
is it possible to make a mod for incoming dealer as a popup function like palm pre?
when i'm working with word or excel and haven't time to talk with someone or i don't wanna block the dealer, this function will be pretty cool.
its a simple thing but this can be very comfortable i guess
thnx
Magicall 2.2 ?
First or all...in my opinion, hitting the ignore is just ask quick as acknowledging a a pop up window but we all have our preferences.
There's a software called Magicall by Mobilion that will block the call from ringing but still show that a call was made via system notification (pop up window). You can set it to notify you in what ever way you like (window, light, etc) You can set it for specific numbers, all, numbers from difference outlook categories, etc. I find it useful when at work and only want very important contacts to come through and all the rest gets sent straight to voicemail automatically.
Hope that helps. Hope that's what you are looking for.
people complained for years about the little popup window for incoming calls..
then as soon as we get a great incoming caller window you want the old system back..
try build a rom without the HTC dialer.. I've not tried the MS one for a while but It may do what you want.
hi guys,
thx for your post's
i'll try both and hope that will helped me
Hey guys,
is there any way to show notes or text on the original windows mobile lockscreen?
i don't wanna use SU2U, cause i like the standard lockscreen.
any way or app to realize this?
thanks for your help.
DN41
BUMP!
I'm interested too!
Is it possible to do?
Very nice idea!
that's what I am looking for a very very long time, I tried S2U2 and I didnt like it, I prefer original windows lock
1- having ability to skip songs
2- seeing preview of text messeges, or atleast number of new messeges.
3- seeing missed calls.
all without needing to unlock the phone

Yeah i have that in mind some time ago till i ask A_C the dev of s2u2.
He said it's impossible but who knows someone can create it.
-display mp3 that currently playing
-display few lines of new sms/email
-display contacts from missed calls
-display notes on lock screen with on/off mode
For some, displaying previews of SMS/email content would defeat the purpose of 'locking' the phone.
But this would be interesting indeed..
I just use s2u2 that is great in its last version 2.30.
wot's really useful to me in this program is the lock on talk. I 'm very disappoint with hd2 sensor, it sux. during a call, the backlight switches on and due to capacitive screen, my ear taps some buttons unwittingly... s2u2 is the answer. and it also provides many infoes on lockscreen.
I think Pocket Shield is the answer.

its not actually viewing the messeges or calls.
its usefull to know when you have unread sms, or missed calls.
Hi there!
We are two developers who have been following xda for a long time,
We are happy to announce a new kind of Application on Android Market and want some suggestions and testing by xda community!
This is the App's description:
Andro+ Call Backgrounder provides you an important feature that Android System lacks!
CallBackgrounder lets you put in background an incoming call simply by pressing a button!
How many times you were watching a video, playing a game or reading email/website and an Incoming call disturbed your actvity?
With CallBackgrounder you can return to the last app you were using by putting incoming call in background!
The caller will never notice about your action, the incoming call will continue in background and you will be free to carry on whatever you were doing and maybe later answer/reject.
You can find filters based on contacts and apps that let you ACTIVATE CallBackgrounder ONLY for some contacts or running apps.
New Feature: Shake Detection, if activated Popup will be displayed ONLY if you shake your phone!
DON'T FORGET to watch sample video that you can find in Android Market page! Or just go to: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbg

NEW FEATURE: Tiny Layout and Shake&Background, watch them on last one screenshot or directly on Youtube: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbgnf
Now You can use non-invasive Tiny Layout on TOP of your existing CallScreen Layout! Tiny Layout is not a Popup but ONLY one button!
So what are you waiting for? Try out the app and let us know your opinions!
What's new:
What's new? Andro+ Call Backgrounder becomes Andro+ Call Manager introducing new options, now you can place your incoming call in background and/or reject your incoming call and AUTO-Recall the caller!
*) ON SALE! For limited time!
*) Version 1.6.5 solved a bug when placing in background call on some devices
*) Solved bug: no restore ringer settings on call ending, thanks to Stefan
*) New Name new functions!
*) Fixed Anonymous call bug
*) New Feature: Tiny Layout (that you can see in the second screenshot) and Shake & Background function
*) New Feature: Shake Detection, if activated Popup will be displayed ONLY if you shake your phone!

I was hoping more along the lines of being able to press the home/back button or something to put the call in the background. I like the stock slide to answer/reject calls method.

Thanks for replying, unfortunately Android System blocks Home Button so we can't override it!
But if you want something less intrusive you can use the "Shake Detection" function that let you activate the Popup ONLY by shaking the phone during an incoming call.
Any other feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
We have just tried it with Go Contacts/Dialer and with Video Caller Id
and it works great with them.
We appreciate any further opinions,
There's a way to press "home" during a call and talk to the person in the background while using your phone otherwise, similar to what the iPhone does. If it's not what the "send to background" option does, any way to add a "pick up but put in background" option?
Hello what is called that application in second screen that gives you the control over wifi etc.

Hi, its not really an app...Its sort of like a control widget hard-coded into the status bar...Most custom ROMs come with it installed...
Can you add new feature please , it's (Recall) to redial the caller
android market always gives me a hard time because in my country these apps are not available for download.
Could someone post an apk or download link plz ,thank in advance

Thanks for suggestion,
Can be good an option that allow you to have a notification (in notification bar) to recall your missed call (that you've previously placed in background) by pushing it?
Something like missed call notification but when you press it, it will re-dial your contact?
Let us know,
Thanks,

Hey folks,
Many of you have downloaded and tried Andro+ Call Backgrounder, how it worked? Did you like it?
If you write here your feedback we can improve it!
Thanks to all.
Just tried the demo and so far so good. I just have one suggestion for now. For people who want to use their own dialer to answer/reject calls, can you make the "shake detection" automatically put the call in the background? It's kind of annoying to shake the phone then have to press the background button.

We've just added this features to Andro+ Call Backgrounder,
Update is on Android Market,
more details on first page of this Thread,
I'm looking for app that would completely ignore and send specified calls to background immediately ("don't answer" mode, not "reject"), so i do not even know i've been called. No ring, no vibration, no screen wake up when phone is asleep and not a single one notification when it's awake. Is it possible with root?

Seems possible, however, while the phone is asleep it may not be possible to check the number then background it before the screen awakes and/or rings. Backgrounding certain numbers automatically is definitely doable though.
Hi,
we need this app so bad ,, and the version in market is buggy ..
why development is stooped ?
any news
Anyone please
