Do you ever get missed calls and wonder if they were important or just “hang up calls”?
RingDuration is an Android app that shows you exactly how long your phone was ringing, for incoming and missed calls.
Also features a handy (optional!) taskbar notification to quickly show you the latest calls, right from the notification window!
For example, some people tend to call you and hang up without giving you a chance to answer; now you can catch them in the act! Or consider an unusually long ring time could mean an urgent call you missed.
Note: RingDuration supports multiple languages. Want your language featured in the app as well? Contact us to help translate!
Features
Simple and easy to use
Ready to use right out of the box – No configuration necessary (actual box sold separately )
Enhanced notification window – View latest missed calls quickly right from the notification window. See our screenshots!
Fun Badges – Who is your Most Determined Caller? Who will get The Speedy Award?
Minimal resource use – There is no process running in the background, no services to slow down your device – RingDuration is active only briefly during an incoming call, and of course, when you use the main app.
Safe to use – No dangerous or suspicious permissions. RingDuration does not require a rooted phone, nor does it require dialing permissions. Therefore you can rest assured RingDuration will not misbehave.
Call them back quickly - Optionally, dial back right from the app. Note that this does NOT require dialing permissions; RingDuration will bring up your system dialer and automatically fill in the number, so you can check, confirm, cancel or change the call.
Highly configurable – Easily tweak RingDuration to work exactly the way you want it.
If you like our app, please help us with a good rating and comment in Google Play. There's nothing quite like knowing our efforts help someone out there, and it gives us the motivation to continue
Support
If you run into any problems using RingDuration, please tell us and we'll do our best to help. As you probably know, it's not possible to provide support through Google Play- so contact me directly either at elemris.com/contact-us or here on XDA. Thanks for your feedback and support!

Nice. But can you make one by which we can give a missed call? I mean, an app that automatically disconnects an outgoing call after a few rings.

Thanks
Can't you just dial normally and press the End Call button whenever you want? Or did you mean something else?

Elemris, Thanks for this. Have been using it for a while now, but just came in to thank you
And of course, (as with all thanks) make a request too!
Would it be possible to call back the person by clicking on the line in the logs or call the last caller by clicking on the item in the drop down notification? Not necessary but maybe useful. Don't bother if its a pain and/or the app size is going to increase drastically.
Another thing is ... I normally change/update my rom quite often. Would be nice if after a change or update, when RingDuration is activated any time either manually or by a missed call, the call log is updated. That is, the previous missed calls are automatically picked up from the call log.
Thanks once again

I can't say no to such a nice request and a good idea So I'll prioritize this feature request.

Interesting as well, I'll see what can be done about it.
Thank you for the feedback!

We released version 2 of RingDuration. This release includes dialing functionality based on Paparasee's suggestion, and some other improvements. If anyone doesn't like dialing, you can choose what to do when you click a log entry via a new setting. Currently options are either to dial back, or to do nothing; there may be more options in the future.
It's important to note that we implemented dialing in a safe way- RingDuration does NOT dial by itself, it invokes the system dialer. That means the user gets the chance to confirm the call, so no accidental calls. Also, I am personally suspicious of apps that request "Dialing Permissions", so RingDuration will never request them.
The new version is now on the Android Market (http://market.android.com/details?id=com.elemris.ringduration) - check it out and let us know what you think!

New update release
New release!
Added a setting to let you change the FONT SIZE in the call log.
Faster loading, optimized screen layouts (to developers: try the new Android Lint, it's very useful).
Lots of minor fixes and internal updates

Just installed on my Dads so he can see if i was just ringing for a call-back or to really reach him
Like it so far!

New version - RingDuration 3.0
Hello, a new version is now live on the Android Market.
This is version 3.0, a major release with plenty of fixes and improvement:
New "Fun Badges" - find out who your Most Determined Caller is, and who gets The Speedy Award!
Complete rewrite of data storage - more efficient, supports larger call logs. NOTE: Old RingDuration log entries will NOT transfer to the new version.
"Share" RingDuration with friends! Just click menu button.
Added Hebrew language translation.
"Clear Log" action no longer requires application restart.
Lots of other smaller improvements
This release turned out to pack more features than we planned... we hope you'll enjoy it
As of version 3.0, RingDuration fully supports multiple languages, and we now accept language translations.
Want RingDuration in your language too? Contact us to help translate it!

Thanks!

not tried it but it just looks much better UI than the all the other call filters out there
*i just installed to have a look*
1- too many steps needed to add numbers
2 - "Is not numeric" is just plain confusing .....can't the app tell wether you have entered alphabetical characters or numerals? ...and you can add text with numeric characters so which one do you pick then?
3 - import/export settings would be nice
(if issues 1 & 2 are not fixed it's unuseable to me, just as constructive criticism)
cheers

Needs to be able to read from call logs instead of typing the number in manually

really bizarre

Email History of Create Backup
I had been happy with this app is it does what it says but two items dont work.
When I go to email history the two .csv files are attached - calls and sms but when the email is sent they are not attached I have tried this 4 times and attachments so not send.
Then I tried creating a backup which it did and yet try to open it in excel on the pc and the file is unrecognisable.
Basically I cannot get the sms details to show on my pc which I need.
Please advis if you have any answers to above queries.

[APP][2.2+] Qcktag - quickly tag phone numbers. Now with caller ID.

Hello all! My new app Qcktag is on the Play Store now - let me know what you think.

}
Material design!
*** Now with Qcktag Caller ID - known tags are shown when receiving/making calls! Enable it in Preferences. ***
What is it?
How often have you needed to save a phone number that you needed only for a short while?
You would add it to your contact list and clutter your contact list and it keeps growing uncontrollably. It would be difficult to find a contact from all the unwanted numbers that you just needed temporarily. Or you would not add it to the contact list and struggle through the call history to find that number when you want to give a call back.
A dilemma isn’t it? Qcktag to the rescue!
Every time you complete a call from/to an unknown number, Qcktag will ask you for a quick tag you can attach to the phone number. Tagged numbers are not sent to the contact list, but are accessible through the main Qcktag application.
Features
Material design!
Works for both incoming and outgoing calls
Works for incoming SMS too!
Option for either a notification or a popup asking for the tag
‘Tag Later’ - option to save all numbers as untagged and you can tag them later
Qcktag Caller ID - For tagged numbers, if you receive/make calls to them, the tag will be displayed when call is initiated or received.
Option to tag all numbers or only unknown numbers
Add tags manually, from existing contact or from call history!
If adding from existing contact, option is available to remove from contact list.
Quickly search for tags
Quickly call or message a tagged number. You can also share tags and add tags as calendar events
Option to add to contacts if you eventually find out it is a number worth keeping
Android Wear support! Now tag your phone calls with voice from your Android Wear watch
Backup and restore tags and preferences
If you find any bugs or mistakes in the application, please send me an email with your feedback and I promise I will work on it promptly. Let’s squish those bugs together.
New update 11/20/2014.

* Fixed buggy notification
* Fixed conferencing bug
New update 08/14/2014.

* Better notifications - delete tags and launch app from notification now
* Bug fixes

Useful
Very useful app indeed - I would use it quite a bit. I was looking for something of this sort of an app. I like it, looks neat and works really well. Good that you kept the file size less than 500kb.
Bug I noticed: if I add a 'Touch to tag' item to contact list, the name in Add Contacts screen is showing as -DEF-. Maybe something that you use internally.
Also, maybe tag it later could be disabled by default for the free version?

@cproblems
Oops, yes - it is an internal code. It will be corrected in the next update.
Some nifty features are also planned soon - thanks for your feedback.

Can't tell you how many times I needed something like this to keep a number /contact for just for a day or two.
When perfected, Google needs to purchase this from you and integrate it with upcoming versions of Android-this is the sort of innovation that makes Apple look so lame...Well done!

Excellent idea! I'll give it a try and will probably purchase the full version when/if I find it really useful (I don't have much doubt about it).
Would you like for me to localise the app into French?

I added an 'x' as a contact marker for similar quick but unimportant contact saving
You can tell it is a 'unimportant/temp' # from the 'x', and they are grouped for easy removing....good concept though...

Excellent and more then useful.
Tnaks.

Exactly what i needed..!!
I have always wanted something like this :laugh:

Fantastic work! Thanks dev! Was looking for this since a long time. Needed to store numbers of drivers etc. when on a trip and a million other use cases.

Incoming update
I just pushed an update to the app store!
In this release:
* Android Wear support! Now tag your phone calls with voice from your Android Wear watch
* Better notifications - delete tags and launch app from notification now
* Bug fixes
Let me know if you like the new notifications. Also if someone has Android Wear, please let me know if the voice tagging works. I do not have a Wear watch and the emulator did not support voice input. So, I am running a little blind here without feedback.
Thank you for all the feedback - I can't express how much it means to me.

Now Froyo and above 2.2+!
After a marathon coding session, I have managed to extend compatibility for older Android versions. The app now supports Android Froyo and above (2.2+)!
Maintaining backward compatibility is damn difficult! Don't worry, no functionality has been cut down from newer devices. They just work as before.
NOTE: I just pushed out the update. It should be available in the Play Store in a few hours.

Whoa fantastic concept. Ditto for having been looking for something like this for a long time.
May I suggest you post apk files on the OP because some of us don't have play store so we would rather just d/l from here.
Great job!

Don't forget to send me the strings so I can localize it into French, mate!

Sweet app! Thanks. Any chance of an update including text messages?

[APP][PREVIEW - released]Knock Me! - When silence can't speak!

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.

My apologies, I forgot to make it available to more regions upon transition from the beta to release. I will update it today to be available most everywhere including India.
Edit: It's available.

Thanks for you app
I've some few remarks/requests:
add DTMF dialing on call answer (eg. DUO 2FA request key dial to authenticate when using dialing not their f*****g application)
add option to remove the permanent notification when setting permanent auto-answer/texting (cf above)
add AMOLED theme

Thank you for your input! These are indeed useful features, I will get to them as soon as my schedule allows

Great idea, ripe for Tasker integration.

Hello! Thank you for contacting me about this. Currently the "Reply to calls" feature only replies to missed or rejected calls. My thought process was that if the phone call is answered then a reply is not needed, but I could add in a setting that allows it to reply to answered calls as well.
Does it auto reply to missed or rejected calls?

Thanks for the amazing app!!!
In the future, will be possible to block completely the unwanted calls?
I mean, can the call be auto-rejected?
And, the sent messages, are viewable in Messages app? (I mean Android's one)
Thanks

Hello,
Is it possible to have this app send an SMS-message DIRECTLY after a call is comming in?
So that the app immediatly disconnects the call and sends a SMS?
At this moment, a SMS is send if the connection is closed, which means that the person who calls me has to wait till:
1) He disconnects the call, or
2) The call is disconnected automaticly after a while
But I would like it to send a SMS directly, so the person who calls me doesn't have to wait the time untill the call gets disconnected automaticly after, for example, 1 minute.
If I'm busy and can't accept a call, it's nicer that the person who calls me, get's to know this directly and not has to wait some time.
Is this possible?

Hello @ibCurlyFry,
I tried to get your app from the PlayStore but I could not access it, always say the page does not exist (i'm from Portugal and using a Xiaomi Mi6).
I could get the version 1.0.05 from December, 28 from another website.
Is there any problem on my side I might not be aware of?
If I want to buy premium, how can I do it without the PlayStore?
How can I get updates?
Thank you very much for your time, it is a great app!

OMG it's gone from Play Store!!! Will it be back?

Hello, unfortunately Google recently changed thier texts and calls permissions policy, now only the default sms app can listen to incoming texts. Google removed all apps that used those permissions including my app and all apps that auto reply to texts. There are some work arounds but nothing that is even close to reliable. I am working to appeal the removal and get an exception, but this app is most likely dead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well done. We payed money for a dead app

This because it got removed from play store.
Antivirus on Android is nearly useless anyway

Great. I don't know if it will be useful currently as SMS is dead in my country except for authentication. I'm gonna keep it in wait for the WhatsApp update.

Just install Xda Labs store nad Install from there. Restrictions are only on Google Play store. If Goo will keep adding those restrictions Play store will be pretty obsolite for util apps.

So do we get our money back then?
