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!
If you like our app, please help us with a good rating and comment in the Market. There's nothing quite like knowing our efforts help someone out there, and it gives us the motivation to continue. Thank you for your continued support!

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

tried it for a day, had to uninstall and put my old one back
1 - date and time does not show in logs ....it just shows some strange random looking number
2 - you cannot add sms from the logs because they don't all show, some are just missing ....+ the log also shows a lot of strange numbers that do not show in the actual sms app
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.

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!

TeXTe (Sounds like texti) is a very simple and straightforward emergency SMS app.
With TeXTe you can set-up a code word that will start a high volume alarm sound whenever someone who knows the code word will send it to you via SMS .

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.

[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.
