Guys,
I just wondering if there is an application that can be set to call a certain number at a given time.
Even, to call the phone itself.
Here is a situation that such program could be useful :
- At 15:00 you will meet someone who you dont want to meet in the first place, but you cant avoid the meeting.
- Then you set the application to call your mobile phone at 15:30
- So, your phone will ring at 15:30+ and you will pick up the phone (it is obvious), talk to your self ! And inform that you must leave because of something urgent
Cool, not?
Can you just set an alarm with a ringtone as the alarm sound? Surely the person you are with wouldn't see the screen was showing an alarm alert rather than an incoming call.
Hmm, that would be an idea ...
Ive actually seen a website thatll do this for you but I cannot recall the name... I really wish I could remember... well, the alert idea is just as good I guess! unless someone calls in the middle of your convo... lol
I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it chargeing on my bedside table. I do not have a house/landline so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
there is an app called silent time lite that I use, it wont route your calls or anything, but between the times you states the phone will go into silent mode (vibrate or not, you decide) you can also have exceptions like if your mother calls at 3 am or something. Its free in the market, i use this app for school, put my schedule in there and it automatically muted my phone for classes

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm, exceptions for contacts eh? Might be the next best thing if i cant find, or someone create an app that'll do the other stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it.
uh... How about... AIRPLANE MODE
I like the stshannon's idea : this kind of "filter" people can "bypass" only for emmergency...I've been loking for that for long time !
@nopenope : the aireplaine mode doesn't allow this kind of redirection I think...
timerriffic is awesome and free. once you've got your profiles all setup you can set what goes off, volume, vibrate etc... I use it to turn off notifications at night but ring my phone at 100% when I'm "on call" for work or 40% when i'm not.
different day settings too, m-f and weekends.
Edit: Just saw the note: No commercial apps allowed Okay so if an admin wants to delete this thread, dunno if you count a hobbiest selling an app for under $3 and providing a nice full featured free version as well as "commercial" but that's your call not mine. I certainly don't mean to offend.
I played around with various call block / night clocks and didn't find anything to do exactly what I wanted so I wrote CallShield. You can download the Lite version that allows you to specify three blocked callers and three important callers, and purchase an unlock license for unlimited for $2.99.
It couples a ring overrider for important calls, a call blocker for calls with blocked callerid or in a block list, and a bedside clock that mutes the phone but allows important callers and texts through. Great for IT staff on call who don't want to be disturbed by anyone but work.
From the description:
Ever wished you could turn off your ringer but still let your loved ones reach you? That's what CallShield does. Maintain a list of "Important" or "Blocked" callers and CallShield will manage your ringer for you.
When your ringer is in vibrate or silent mode and an important person calls or sends you a text it will automatically activate the ringer to notify you of the event, and then revert back to the mode it was previously.
Want any of your friends to be able to text you important things without adding them all to the important list? Just tell them to add an exclamation mark to the text (that's the default.) You can customize the special code to whatever you want and optionally allow those text messages to override your ringer and ring through.
In addition, CallShield includes a bedside clock with sleep mode. Activate sleep mode and your ringer is silenced, but you can optionally allow important calls and texts to override it. This feature is great for anyone who is on call at night but doesn't want bothered by anyone else.
If you place CallShield in sleep mode, as soon as you answer an important call or exit the screen by touch it automatically disables sleep mode so you can't accidentally go through the day with your ringer off.
It's CallShield in the Android Market or at http://www.humanoidapps.com/callshield
Hi
My daughter is forever putting her phone on silent and forgetting to reset it when she's out.
Are there any apps that will do any of the following:
Allow us to track her ?
Make calls from selected numbers ring even if the phone is on silent ?
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks
Bad form to reply to myself.
AutoRing looks good:
Auto Ring enables you to put your phone in vibrate or silent mode for that important meeting, but still get emergency calls and texts from people you designate.
Auto Ring lets you white list contacts and phone numbers you want to ring while silencing everyone else. With Auto Ring enabled and your phone in vibrate or silent mode you choose who can break into your important meeting or interrupt your sleep.
Do you want to put your phone on silent mode, but yet you want your phone to ring when some important contact like family or a spouse calls?
Do you put your phone on silent in meeting/in a movie but often forget to put it back on ringer mode, and miss some important calls from important contacts?
Then this app is the solution.
HOW THIS WORKS ?
you can add number in application settings for which you want your phone to ring even when your phone is in silent mode.
and start the application service by clicking icon on application dashboard. thats it.
now whenever your phone is on silent mode and call comes from the number you have added to application settings,your phone will ring...
NOW PUT YOUR PHONE ON SILENT MODE WITHOUT MISSING CALLS FROM IMPORTANT CONTACTS.
