Introduction
Hello Everyone,
As a budding developer, I have created a small utility app RingThru which will help users to customize the ring/silent/vibrate modes on incoming calls.
Now you can leave your phone on silent/vibrate/ringing mode, and still receive a ringing/silent/vibrate tone for your most important contacts.
Somebody called you at 2am but it turned out it was a promotional call.
You are in a meeting but you want to pick up call of your sick mother.
Your kid got in trouble and you are busy presenting conference, don't you want to pick up his/her call.
Features Overview-
Ring - Put your phone on silent or vibrate and let selected contacts Ring
Silent - Put your phone on ring or vibrate and let selected contacts always on silent
Vibrate - Put your phone on vibrate and let selected contacts on vinration
Clean and neat UI.
Its not a service which runs in background. Battery friendly App, just start and stop the listener whenever you want.

FAQ
Q.1 How should I start the functionality of call detection?
A.1 On top of action bar you will find a Start icon. Just click on it to get started.
Q.2 I tried to click on Start icon but nothing happens? Why?
A.2 Its because you haven't selected any contacts. Therefore there is no use of starting the listener.
Q.3 Do you store any contacts or retrieve any information of about contacts?
A.3 Your contacts are not stored anywhere. They are loaded in the app locally and never accessed remotely.
Q.4 Sometimes there is delay in ringing/silence/vibration detection of calls?
A.4 It may happen sometimes. For best results don't wipe the app from recent apps.
P.S - its my first app (Don't criticize so much :laugh: , just kidding), so kindly give your valuable suggestions and feedback.

Great app. Needs :

Hey there,
your app sounds very interesting.
One question before I will try it out:
I set my phone to silence mode automatically via Tasker at 11PM and it switches back to "normal" at 7AM.
Will this still allow specific calls to arrive with sound during 11PM and 7AM?
can you have some contacts to ring and different contacts to stay silent
Sounds good, installing now.
timed function
I would like to be able to have the application active during the night and not active during the day that way only important contacts could wake me and not a telemarketer.

good luck
Nice, I love simple functional apps.

Yes, that's pretty much how it works and it really works. I tried the app and I'm genuinely impressed with its performance. I still need to monitor its effect on my battery, but I doubt it would be much of a drainer.
Hello,
I love the app idea, but it's not really working for me.
I cannot select contacts, there aren't any showing up?
Kind Regards

hold the contact down for about two seconds, that works for me but i cant get different contacts to have different options at the moment.
might be doing something incorrectly though

I haven't tested this weather if it conflicts with other app or not. If tasker only lower's your volume and make it silent, then technically it should work and ring the calls. I will test and revert back to you and moreover timing feature will be added in upcoming release

Can you please tell me where your contacts are stored ? In SIM or Internally ?
Works perfectly on my Verizon M8. Does precisely what I need it to. Thank you!

This application is a battery, and runs only when it is displaying an alert.
Note: Remember to disable the standard application reminders in order to don't duplicate the first reminder.

Keep up the good work!
Now on Market
Hi,
After several tests, i've decided to push to the Android Market.
You can download the version 1.0.0, with revisited alarm dialog UI using the link provided in first post.
Thank's for your comments and don't forget to rate in the market and post bugs (if any) in this thread.
Note: This application is free, but premium options (configure single calendar settings and any other) are available only for donators.
Donate application is also available in the market (and a link is provided in the application preferences) and unlocks extra-features in ALL my applications with a single purchase.
1.1.0 is out, with a lot of features, including a more accurated list of events in near future, that includes the events that have reminders, and not only the system provider defined alerts, that are created dinamically and is less refined in the large distance.
Trigger alerts depends on the provider defined alert (for more battery eficiency)
1.3.0 is out, with a lot of features and redesigned alarm dialog UI
a new version with ui improvements is in the market.
download for free and enjoy the android recurrent calendar alerts!
Testing....thx

ring volume
Hi,
is possible to use the alarm volume set and no the ringtone volume set?
Often I use my phone with very low volume for the ringtone but in this way I miss also my appointment.

Come back to give feedback.
Seen using CN 1.0.0 B2 till the latest version. No complain and No regret to use this as my daily notifier. Rated this thread and Google Play 5 star for appreciation.
Once again. Keep up the good work!
I have been looking for this! Installed, testing, will see how it goes. I am more than willing to buy / donate when an app proves that it works. Thank you
Hi, thanks for this good app. Please continue the good work.
I noticed a bug since the latest update: now I was forced to close the reminder window because it was stuck (either if you click snooze or dismiss, it's the same problem).
Before this update, the reminder window closed itself properly, just after you clicked snooze or dismiss.
Hope you can fix this.
Best regards.

I had that too! It needed to presses to dismiss and then it did an FC. I thought it was my humble little phone.
And it is fixed! Outstanding, great support.
The other feature I really appreciate is that the Notifier works on calendars that are not visible. I have one named "hidden" that has daily reminders of little things that I forget, but the Notifier picks up ALL alarms in ALL calendars.
Perfect app, more than I had hoped it would do. I bought the unlock, thank you

This sounds good. I imagine it could be used to find your phone if you've lost it too just by texting the keyword?
I know it's possible to do things like this in tasker, but that's far from easy.
Downloading now, thanks

yeh you are absolutely right .
also i have a friend who is an IT administrator and he use it to get important server crash messages .
he said this app is very useful
Thanks
This is fantastic - I am going to try this out next time I am on-call at work.
Ideas for enhancements:
1. Selectable alarm sound
2. Option to select alert repeat/persistence (e.g., one alert then silent --or-- repeat alert every N minutes until acknowledged --or-- play continuous alert until acknowledged, etc.)
3. Multiple keywords with separate alert repeats & sounds for each.
Thanks for this!

Is there any way to get this to work with Google Voice SMS as well, without enabling the SMS delivery from GV to my phone? (I already have the GV app to get my GV SMSes and don't want double-notifications)
Great App!
I suggest you to put this NOTICE::
the word is CASE SENSETIVE
for example, I put '' slayer '' as a code
but when someone writes that code, the First one will be upper case '' Slayer '' in this case it WON'T WORK.
it must be exactly as the Code!
Amazing app!

You can turn off SMS delivery from GV to your phone by log in to your GV account from a browser, then choose Settings, select Phones tab, then uncheck box "Receive text messages on this phone".

That's how my account is already configured, I was saying I use the Google Voice app on my phone to get my GV SMSes already. I wanted to know if this app would be able to tap into those SMSes and provide the same service as I don't want to hand out my direct cellphone number to anyone that doesn't need to have it. And I don't want to have to enable that option in order to make it work.

Hi,
interesting point there what i can do about it in the next version .
Thanks for the feedback .
@mivza, very well done! This is a great and highly necessary app.
I agree with gsarnold that having selectable notifications would be great. Maybe have multiple words with preset notifications and volume levels for each code? And is there any chance of getting it to work with Go SMS/others?
Thanks again!

Hi,
Regarding third party SMS apps its a little trickey, but i'm working on it
Multiple passwords and alarms would definitely come in handy.
This is helpful for me because I work nights... So it lets people wake me up when needed. Scared the flying spaghetti monster out of me the first time it went off though lol.

UPDATE B: A new version is Up on Google Play Store as well as in this post's attachements (Knock Me Preview - revision 3)!
What's New?
#1 The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously.
#2 Uses system contact picker for assigning a contact to a knock word in "Selected Contacts" mode.
UPDATE A: Preview Version is Up on Google Play Store as well as in this post's attachements!
Important Instruction for this preview version: The knock word has to be sent without any spaces in the beginning or end, I noticed that some phone keyboards add spaces at the end of the word when you hit the auto-suggested word. This will be taken care of automatically in next update.
THE VIDEO:
Hi All! This is preview of an App I recently created, temporarily named as, Knock Me! - When silence can't speak!

When was the last time you lost your phone in your room and you kept calling it just to realize that you had put it on deep silent mode or when was the last time you were so busy that you checked your silent phone after a long time to see a stack of missed call notifications? Well worry no more, I have got a cool little App for you. So the idea is that, let's assume one of your friend has been calling you, your phone is silent and it's really urgent for him/her to contact you. So what he/she can do is send a knock word via SMS, the word could be - "urgent". Once the SMS is received by you, the next time when he/she calls you, your phone will ring ONLY for his/her number irrespective of your phone's sound setting.
couple of screenshots of the beta version is attached with this post, please check it out, any feedback will be much appreciated, including App name suggestion!
As of now, the features of the App are:
You can set 'knock words' for either all of your contacts, or starred contacts only, or for selected contacts.
You can change the active time of a knock word, that is, once a Knock word is received via SMS, the time for which the App will allow the number to ring your phone could be set by user.
You can set different keyword for different contacts.
Additional feature in future version:
When a call is received from a person multiple times, the phone will automatically send an SMS stating that the user's phone is now in silent/vibrate mode and if it's urgent he/she may send an SMS "urgent" and then call to ring.
Checking for pattern of words in SMS.
Configure the sound volume to ring at.
History of contacts who used knock words
History of contacts who have been trying to reach you a lot of times but didn't use Knock words (most likely that they don't know about it.)
You may expect integration with WhatsApp and other services' messages as an option.
The working App has been developed, to check it out in action, your call is at this thread tomorrow and your knock word is 'knock me!'.
can u add youtube video review about this app?
Yes, sure, I will have a video of the App in action uploaded soon. I have a SMS pack to spare a lot of SMSs
Waiting Eagerly
Wow, great idea. I am using already Extreme Call Blocker to do some similar things but this is a great idea to block specific people.
One other idea is to add time slots in it (good also for a good sleep, I have some people who like to call or send text messages during the night )
Knock me?
I really like the idea. Here's a suggestion
When the word is received and the ringer activates, would we have the ability to set ringer level or will it be set to high.
Knock me!
Ha! Thanks for Knocking the thread!
I was improving the code for a better UI/UX. I am afraid I may not be able to complete what I intended to do since the creation of the thread. So I have decided to launch the App in its current state with a 'Preview' tag slapped on. Will be available in next few hours.
@Rinoceros, either I am confused by your idea or you have misunderstand the idea of the App. Anyways, please do visit this thread in few hours and try out the App.
@rickmatic, very nice suggestion!
Knock Me!
Looks great, can't wait to try it out.
Edit : wondering if there's a possibility if you can include/integrate whatsapp texts into this along with sms.. Sorry if it's a stupid question, not sure how exactly it works
Knock me!....up? Wait what!? [emoji85]
Love the idea alone! Would be extremely useful for everyone. Can't wait to try the app out! [emoji106]
The preview version is up!
The App's size will be significantly reduced when I remove the 'Preview' tag from the App.
@Aditya Srinidhi, no, that's a very valid question/suggestion. I also initially thought of that, it's possible to integrate with WhatsApp messages but as a side effect, the App will have to run in background most of the time, I will look into how can I provide that integration with minimum resource consumption. May be, I will keep it as an option.
Updated First post with a new .apk with some bug fixes. Please re-download if you had downloaded the initial version.
UPDATE: Knock Me! is now live on Google Play Store, download to receive automatic updates! And oh don't forget it's a preview version, rate accordingly
@Minions_Army and others, I have added a video showing the working of the App in the first post, check it out and try out the App while I prepare to bundle features for next update.

New update
Hey Guys! I am just done with a new update. The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously. And the App may be ready for daily usage (you tell me.)
While it will be up on Google Play Store in a couple of hours, I would like to get some suggestions from the community. Apart from the feature to let callers activate knock word through messages on WhatsApp, I would like to in what direction this App could go towards in terms of feature.
I was thinking of this idea, if the App is installed in your friends/contacts phones, you will be able to search 'their' phone's contact database for a particular number, say you received a call from xxx-xxx-xxx number and now you want to check if it's saved in any of your friends phone. Once found, the App will list the different names with which the number is saved in your different friends' phones without revealing the source of each name.
Please let me know what you think about the idea and also suggest me anything you have in your mind.
New version is up on Google Play Store as well as in the first post! I consider this version good enough for daily use, but again is it? (You tell me!)
What's New?
#1 The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously.
#2 Uses system contact picker for assigning a contact to a knock word in "Selected Contacts" mode.

Time is so late right now and you want to send message for absent tomorrow but your boss is sleeping and you do not want to bother him. Tomorrow, you need to wake up early to send SMS for him. No, it is not a good idea, you are tired and need a rest. Do you want your phone auto send a SMS to your boss at 8 AM while you are still sleeping ? Let SMS Later do it for you.

Thank you
Update:
The app just renamed to Do It Later and supported feature "Remind Later".
Have a nice day, nobody care this interesting app? ????
Really useful app in my opinion, i hope in the future it can be used to schedule messages to be sent through other messaging applications besides SMS and email, just as an example Whatsapp, Hangouts, etc.

I am planning to make a new job for app to schedule On/Off 3G Wifi, Play/Pause Music. It will be available soon.
Didn't work for me.
I setup a scheduled text to be sent after 30mins.
Then left the phone in idle condition.
After about two hours I turned on the display and it wasn't responding. Touch stopped working. I had to pull out the battery.
When the phone booted up, I received the text then (about two hours later).
I am using Greenify but your app was whitelisted. Any idea?
Edit: Just so you know I sent the text to my own number for testing.
Edit2: Tested it again. It didn't send the text. Just kept it on pending. Will test sending it to some other number now and report.

Once again. Thanks for your work.
