There are apps like do not disturb silence etc...
I haven't tried any cause there's already an option for do not disturb in my phone.

Hi Milan!
I've just tried your app and it's perfect for me (i9070 running CM10.2).
I tried many apps (on android < 4.3) for missed sms (Missed calls message flasher, SMS Popup...), but yours is running best.
I'm not using all the options, just a popup (sms+calls) + reminder.
Great job!
Link please

I've noticed 2 minor issues, but they could be rom-specific (CM10.2)...
1. When a msg arrives while the phone is locked, a default notification message is heard but not the whole 2 seconds (it's the duration of the sound itself), approx the last second of it. Every next reminder sound with the same tone is heard ok.
2. When I activate popup screen and new msg arrives, if I reply through popup actions everything is OK, except - this sent msg is not in my default mesagging app.
Great work!

Hi,
1. It's strange, it must play whole sound.
2. Sent messages are saved in default android database (content://sms), it's must be some different things in your phone

Hello Milan
Smart Notify Unlock does not work when I move it into system/app. What can I do?
I just want to report that your app works great in cm11 on moto g.
Could you please add more timing details for reminder. Not to be 1 minute, but 15 seconds in the first 1 min, then 60 sec in the first 15 min, then 300 sec in 60 minites... or to be configurabile?

Can this be configured to repeat the reminder tone as well as vibrate? If so, how?
Thanks.

Recommendation for a Call Management App is Needed

Hi everyone,
I need recommendation for a Call Management app that will enhance my ability to silent individual numbers in scheduled times, like the settings we already have in the phone. I don't want to block numbers only to silent the ring (don't want the other side to know that I'm blocking them).
Any suggestions?
Why dont you try truecaller or call manager.

Pie: Blocking but caching notifications for later & multiple DND profiles?

On Oreo, I used DND >> Priority Only at night when going to bed, to keep my phone silent, unless certain family and friends called - in case of emergency. I also used DND >> Alarms Only when I wanted to not be disturbed by any calls. I used the app Notification Blocker from Handev Studio, to block the notification of a small number of apps at all times, but it would cache the notifications so I could browse through them at at time of my choosing. This worked mostly, sometimes the notifications would be blocked but my phone would still vibrate.
I am now using Pie, and I can see in DND I can set it to allow calls through from starred contacts, but I cannot find another profile like Alarms Only, for when I do not want to be disturbed by any calls?
Also, I have heard that using notification channels, I can achieve something like what the Notification Blocker app did, blocking apps but caching their notifications to browse later. I have been looking through the settings but have not been able to find the option, is this possible?

I need to know before buying it, does this work?

CONTEXT: My parents have always had problems with their MIUI xiaomi phones (redmi note 9, redmi 5+ and note 4x) where Do not disturb (dnd) set up as "alow incoming calls - from anyone" doesn't work at all.
MY QUESTION:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" dnd option block notification sounds and make calls from anyone ring?
This function is vital to me as I often use DND to silence my phone but let calls through in case something important happens.
Thanks for the help.
When you press the volume rocker, it gives you two options, silence and do not disturb, I always have the phone on silence and it obviously doesn't sound when you get calls or anything like that, I'm not sure if the do not disturb option is actually for calls.
If you press that option it tells you ''sounds and vibrations are disabled'' but if you press on the silence option it specifies ''calls and notifications are silence''
I use DND on a regular basis at work/sleep to filter my calls and make sure that only my girlfriend, certain friends and family can call me and no one else. Meaning only their calls will ring out loud while all other people's calls just ring silently.
Your post is not clear as to what exactly you are looking for but if the short question is :
Does DND features work on MIUI?
Yes they work 100%
Here are the available options in MIUI 12

Sorry for not being clear enough, let me rephrase my question:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" option actually work while blocking all message notifications?
This option didn't work in none of the xiaomi phones I mentioned because it either didn't ring or it didn't block message sounds so the workaround was doing exactly what you did with your gf but with all my contacts instead.
Okay I recreated the scenario and you seem to be right. I wasn't able to check the calls part but I was definitely able to check that when the DND is set to
Allow Incoming Calls - Anyone
The notifications make a sound.
I'm assuming what you are looking for is that only calls should be making sounds while on DND and not anything else like SMS / WhatsApp / etc.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the confirmation. From what I see, this happens in every single MIUI phone out there.
I'm shocked that it's still not fixed after so many years of sending feedback through the feedback app.
I guess I'll have to find a workaround once I buy the device

Looking for an app that silences incoming phone calls from a specific contact

Hello, everybody.
I'm looking for an app that'll allow me to select specific contact(s) from which I won't get phone calls. Basically, a selective do not disturb mode, without them knowing I blocked them.
Any ideas?
It depends on your device. I have a Google Pixel 5, and I can either block contacts or route them straight to voicemail. If you're using the Google Phone app, it should do the same.

There are call blocker apps in the Playstore that don't actually block the number but prevent it from ringing or prevents SMS notifications but still shows the call as a missed call. I don't know of any by name though.

This is exactly what I'm looking for.
I've tested a couple of apps, but they all seem to reject the call, instead of silencing it. I haven't seen any where you can explicitly state that you want to mute the call and hide the call screen altogether.

I can't remember any by name that I've used that do this the way you want, I just remember using an app that did. It/they may not exist anymore.
