Not working consistently... unsure why at this time.
This is an app i am currently developing.
The goal is to be able to set up a profile like "At Work" then enable it when you are at work, and it will respond to text messages with specific messages.
Profile specific
Personal - first if there is a specific response for the person
Group - second if there is no personal, if that person is in a group with a message
General - third if no person or group message, send a generic message
It is in its infancy, but right now it should respond to a message sent by anyone with one customizable general message.
There is an on/off switch in the app.
===WARNING===
this app is currently in development, I don't give any promises to stability at this time.

ps. Any feedback, suggestions or assistance with problems is happily accepted right now as this is my first project, and i'm struggling with a few minor details.
DO NOT TEXT YOURSELF WITH THIS PROGRAM ON! I have not yet figured out how to filter out the active phones number!
also, i'm not sure if this ended up in the correct forum, lol.

figured it out, i'm a nub, forgot to sign it

Alright, so I got a bluealert bracelet as an early christmas gift. It vibrates if I get an incoming call, or if my phone goes out of range of the bracelet. I love it thus far since sometimes I will miss a call because my phone is in a position I can't feel it vibrate.
My only problem is that is doesn't vibrate if I get an SMS or an email. Ideally it would vibrate once for a sms or an email, and keep vibrating for a phone call.
My question is how so I get the thing to vibrate for those as well? The phone views it as a headset via the bluetooth manager.
If someone can make up a little app to do this, I would be willing to paypal them $40. Nothing pretty, just something that tells the bluetooth to vibrate X number of times if a sms or email is received, and leave the incoming call functionality untouched.
Thanks!

Which phone do you have?
A titan with DCD's latest rom on it.
I doubt $10 will cover the cost to fix your issue.
Problem:
The bracelet receives "Incoming call" alert and vibrates on that.
The phone thinks it's a headset so you can only send it headset actions.
Let's assume it's as dumb as they get and simply vibrates when there's an auto channel open to the bracelet. Then what you need is for something to momentarily open the audio gateway to the headset when you receive a new message.
If you simply wanted vibrate on messages then I say look at Jetware's solution to manage voice notifications to bluetooth headsets.
Now if it's smarter and actually knows that it's an incomng call then the problem gets larger.
alright, I installed jetware's software.
When a message is received the green light on the bracelet flashes for longer than usual, but it does not vibrate.
This is with sms and email.

Could you post the cab for the jetware notifier?
This way people can actually analyse the notifier and perhaps patch it or modify it.
Here it is.
Your problem here is that there isn't a "vibrate my headset" command. This is usually a function of the headset that is vibrates on the "Incoming Call" alert.
This behavior hints that the bracelet is aware of "Incoming Call" verses "audio gateway opened" which isn't good for you.

Is there a *.jcf file on your phone?
That is the config file.
Maybe you can edit the incomming SMS part to match incomming call.
On the other hand, Kyphur is probably dead-on right with his analyses.

last time i checked it was perfectly okay to request custom software in dev and hacking, which is what the op is doing... he just needs to reword his thread title to reflect that properly.

Edited. Thanks.
For now, we agreed on requesting software in the Q&A section.
For background info this please see this thread.
Guess I can't post links
Quick summary is that if I get "X" number of texts from someone and open up that group, instead of marking them all as read when I close out of that group, it only marks one so I have to open and close that group "X" number of times to get all the messages registered properly.
This is prevalent in all three 6.1 builds and in one or two packaged ROMs done by Ryan Mogul here at XDA. I have a temporary fix in place in the form of a "mark all as read" menu option, but obviously this is not a preferred solution.
Nowhere have I heard of this issue, but I have been told it has been documented before. Any help is would be greatly appreciated and I'm willing to do almost anything on my end short of mailing you the phone and switching from build 21057.
Have you ever tried THIS? Much easier to manage sms's.
good day.
I am aware of that program, and if a fix is unavailable will most likely use it, but in the meantime I'm still looking for any more info on this issue.
I apologize if I break some rule, I posted this in another thread but realized the topic concerned a G1. I am not allowed to post on the development thread due to my just joining.
I'd like to find an app that would block outgoing SMS text messages. I've tried to find one that would do such a thing and have been unsuccessful. I've also thought about creating my own but realized it is way beyond my level of comprehension.
The way I see it the app could run a script that if the particular number was detected would disable the radio for a certain period of time and delete the message before the radio coming back on. it would be password protected to allow control and prevent unauthorized use.
I want to do this because there is a particular number I no longer want to text. I've memorized the number so deleting the contact is not an option. I'm not looking for criticism about my weak constitution. You're not my psychologist. I'm just trying to find a way to resolve this issue before they have to change their number to avoid me.
If there is someone out there working on this I'd really like to find out about their progress. if not then a starting point on how to create this app.
No matter if the app is free or paid, as a developer you want to offer a good support to the end users. Why? Because as long as they are happy they will continue to use your app and they will recommend it to others. So it is in your best interest to do your best and resolve issues that customers are reporting, implement requested features and solve as many bugs as possible.
To that end, you must ensure you provide easy to access means of communication between you as a developer and the end users. There are many ways you can achieve that and I will list a few I am using and the more you can provide the better so we can put together a list:
Create an email address or use one you already have (I prefer the former) and provide links on Google Play and inside the app. It is nice if you add an accessible menu item that says (Suggestions/Bug report/Support/Etc) that will start an intent chooser for sending emails to this email address
Use forums (XDA ) and post your app and frequently visit and answer suggestions/questions. There are a lot of helpful users there that will test the app and discover bugs, suggest new features and it is very good if you can keep the thread hot so you keep the interest up. Users like feedback and makes them feel important (which they are) so try to answer as many posts as possible even though you don't have a solution to the problem yet
Get social! Social networking is very helpful these days both for spreading the word about your app but also for customer support. Create profiles for the app on all major social networks (Facebook, Google +, Twitter, etc) and try to get as many users as possible. Post as many updates as possible and keep the users informed about changes to the app, answer to their comments and implement suggestions
Prioritization - build yourself a TODO list with priorities: for each update try to solve major bugs first that are heavily reported or that are causing big problems. Always find some room for improvements and user suggestions. Then fix small bugs and try to improve UI.
Localization is an important part of today's apps. Try to support as many languages as possible making easy for the users to understand the app and to better communicate their findings
Use the publish console to check for crash reports. Many users use this feature and send crash reports along with the stack trace and it is very helpful to keep track of major crashes and identify the root cause
Please reply with more tips so we can create a big list for everyone
Email is the number 1 way people ( from my experience ) contact the developer to ask questions, recommendations, etc. What I did in addition to all the things in the op was create a cheap 5 page website with Godaddy website tonight its like $100 bucks a year or something. They also auto optimize your site for mobile viewing!Then made a contact us page, were users can choose a reason for contacting us. This works really well and you can set up an auto responder to send them a message letting them know you got the email.
I always try to answer emails immediately (during business hours) but always within 24 hours. Having a great customer service program even if your a solo dev like I am will translate into 5 star ratings based solely on customer service!
Have a lax customer service program and you will see the negative 1 or 2 star ratings pop up again based solely on customer service. It shouldn't take anyone more than say 48 hours to re connect with someone and at least start the process of answering their concern.
You can see the contact us page here
Good policy will turn into good reviews and good downloads!
:good:
I've put a feedback page in all my apps.
You don't even need to create a new email address. Just use your personal email address and create an alias. That way it looks formal on the outside but messages go to same inbox as your personal one, only have to check one inbox everyday.
HMMMMMM!
FIRST OF ALLL EMAIL AND AFTER THAT XDA POSTS.........:victory:
email or the message box is very important. But it's also important to reply to their questions promptly.
Free Customer Service SDK
Replying promptly to customers is essentially the first step towards good customer service. If you are an iOS app developer, looking to impress your customers with excellent customer support, try out Freshdesk's Mobihelp SDK ( [freshdesk.com/mobihelp) you can snap-in to your app and start communicating with your customers from right within your app. I'm sure it will be of great help in your customer service efforts!
Thanks for the tips! Just a question: I have got one Crash report in google play console very early, but since then nothing. I have put email in the game and on the play store. But nobody used it. I do not have many installs, but I wonder what is the usual percentage of people who actually report bugs?

In my experience, if the app is something people desperately need (e.g. utility) or want (e.g. game) but it isn't working quite as they expected, they will be vocal. Not hearing anything from users is usually a warning sign that nobody was too excited about the app in the first place, or that not that many people downloaded the app in the first place.
If I see a crash on Google Play I assume that the same crash occured for 10 others who didn't bother reporting it. So I try to fix it ASAP.
You could use Google Analytics to report crashes without user prompt.
Regardless of the above, it sounds like you have a general marketing challange which is much more critical than that crash report, so you should investigate marketing and promotions in general.

Hi,
how can we deal with bad reviews on google play, reviews that comes from pepole that didn't understand the meaning of the app?
Thanks.
If you're looking for app support best practices, contact a big startup like Buffer or Squarespace and see how they respond to your question. Notice the friendly tone of voice, the detailed answers they try to give you, and the call for action at the end of every support ticket - whether it's to try and recreate the event that caused the bug or read a FAQ section. Do that a dozen times and you'll learn more about 'proper' support than any how-to article can teach you.

Yep makes sense in my experience - personalise as much as possible and reflect the tone of voice of your app. Users will really appreciate it. Stay social.
Why not have some kind of in-app help?
Having a suggestions/feedback menu item seems to be the common thread here to provide good customer support.
But wondering - why not some kind of in app help itself? Sort of a Whatsapp inside the app? I feel email being a separate channel breaks the context - help within the app itself and in context would be so much easier for the end user.
Thoughts?
I know it is an old thread but there are SDKs that help you integrate a support chat right within the app. I have seen zomato use one of these.
Thank you for a list!
As a frequent Skype user on my phone, I want to know what my contacts are up to but it seems tha Microsoft has taken away our ability to see whether a contact's status is set to 'do not disturb' or 'away'. Instead of seeing the above mentioned statuses, we just see the contact as 'offline'.
I thought I would make this little petition and gather some signatures where we can then later on send it to the Skype development team and hopefully they will do the changes in their next version.
If you feel the same as I do, then you can sign the petition here:

P.S. I was not sure where exactly to post this so the mods can move it to the appropriate board.

Interesting. I also use skype each day (not living with my family ATM, work obligations), but missed this statuses issue. Thx for highlighting this.
