We work with the emergency services. When the National Ambulance Service deploys us to an incident via SMS, our phones MUST alert us. This worked very well for us on 2.x.

It's obviously not your fault that Google changed their SMS policy but we were under the impression that if we downloaded your APK from your website then we would be good. I thought this was the sole reason you put it there, along with the long message about Google.

However, I'm now testing the latest version content filter to see if it gives us the same functionality. It's very very different but initial tests look promising.

Hi,

I have been using Prof Reminder on my Pixel 3 for quite a while, but since installing the Android 11 update I am having an issue with endless notifications after every text message. Even after I have viewed all messages and there is no longer a "New Message" indicator on the Messaging app icon. I can manually dismiss the notification, but that is the only way they stop. I have the new Conversation Bubbles feature enabled, and I just realized that this only occurs in conversations I have turned that feature on for, so I guess it is related to that feature. I tried another reminder app and it is doing the same thing. Hopefully this information will be helpful to you in getting an update out to fix the issue. Thank you.

Text Notification Sound Volume During Phone Call

Hello,

I like this app very much but I have one issue with it and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix it. When I am talking on a phone call and a text message suddenly comes in, the sound notification is played at the same volume as it is when the phone is in standby. This means that the incoming text sound notification is very loud in my ear during a phone call. When I am talking on the phone and a text message comes in, I want the text sound notification to be at a very low volume level, not at the same volume level as when the phone is in standby. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi, using Oppo Reno 2 Z ColorOS 7.1 Android 10. Play store says this app is no longer compatible with my phone.

time reminder

Hi,

why not add probably last option what I think of -simple reminder based on specified time. (or can be done already?)

I know, Android contains its own Alarm (scheduler), but with this app you can set so much more.

for example: set reminder on time 15:10, delay 10s, duration 2m, volume 30%, flash short

You might be surprised of how downgrading to a previous might solve your issue. It has happened to me a numerous occasions with other apps.

Hi, @dan_ru,

I have enjoyed using Prof Reminder for many years!

Will Prof Reminder alert for missed calls and text messages if the phone is set to "Do Not Disturb" with "Allow exceptions" for calls and messages from "Contacts only?"

I thought I read that Do Not Disturb (system setting?) will work with Prof Reminder. ?

I was unsuccessful setting up Profiles and testing the app to see if I would receive a reminder from the app when I had on Do Not Disturb (system) and entered the contact's phone number in Profiles (Prof Reminder Premium) in quotation marks.

Bigtime user error. I have no idea what I am doing. lol.

Please help!

Did you Override DND under the app's notification settings?
[Android Apps and Games] jsusang:
I appreciate your reply, @rodken!

Under the Day/Night Profiles, tried settings:

Sound enabled

DND enabled/disabled

(If the phone's DND is enabled for calls and messages from Contacts only, and enabled in Prof Reminder premium, the blocked calls and messages send reminders from the app.

Will not work if DND is unchecked in Prof Reminder and system DND is enabled from the settings I made)

Here's the Content Filters I created-

Content Filter settings:

Contain-

Contact's name in quotations

(example: "ET")

Not contain-

"Missed call"

"Messages"

"New Message"

You must install the app on your device first before it gets automatically pushed to your smartwatch.

It is not a stand alone app for WesrOS.

[Android Apps and Games] Terryjh:
Hi Prof Reminder,

I have just come across your app and have been very impressed with it, it looks brilliant and well written

I wanted a rear camera flash alert for missed calls, SMS etc. and it after early initial testing it works well and is very versatile in how you can configure it.

I do have a few suggestions that I consider would be useful enhancements.

System status monitoring.

It would be great if it could alert if, when the screen is locked, Wifi, GPS or Bluetooth has been left on.

It is very easy to miss the fact that one or more of these have been left switched on when locking the screen with the subsequent heavy drain on the battery. Of course it may be that you need to add a new control widget for 'system status' alerts in case you need to leave them on with the screen locked.

Note you could also add one or more of the following extra system status checks:

Airplane mode, Silent mode, Vibrate mode, Mobile Data on, NFC on, Wifi hot spot on.

Battery level checking

I have not been able to use this as these days charging your battery to 100% is not recommended and I follow a 55% -> 70% charging strategy. So it would be good have an adjustable 'charged' range down to (say) 50% and 'low level' adjustable up to (say) 60%.

Finally a 'shake' to stop would also be useful to me.
[Android Apps and Games] EngineerMind:
Dev, Please add the option of instead of playing a sound, the user can choose to use TTS (Text-to-Speech) so your app can say stuff!

For example, I often forget what different alert sounds mean. For example, I'll forget the difference between the sound of waiting voicemail from a missed call, or if I have emails or new text messages. However, if your app had the ability to speak out loud a phrase instead of playing a sound would be so much more useful. For example, your app could say "You have waiting voicemails" when it detects those notifications from the phone app.

Or I could setup a content filter and when a get a text message from a friend, it could say "Text message from Andy". Other notification intercept apps will say the senders name *and* their message out loud before I can stop it - which can lead to embarrassing situations!

The number of uses is only limited to your imagination if you could add this ability!
[Android Apps and Games] mmusc:
I just found this app yesterday and installed it because I wanted different notification sounds played for different notifications from my Wyze app. I also downloaded a program called "Narrators Voice" (Heavy ad's but free and does the job). The narrator app lets you type in a phrase and it will speak it out. Then you have the option of saving an mp3 file of the phrase. Then go back to Prof Reminder and choose the new file for your sound. Right now, I have it set up for Wyze to notify me of the door locking, unlocking, and someone ringing the doorbell with 3 different phrases. The door was unlocked. The door was locked. Someone is ringing the doorbell. I also set it up to distinguish by voice my garage door opening and closing, along with a voice that reminds me that the door is still open. Plus, with the life360 app, It now tells me who has arrived at home by voice for each person. This eliminates the need to constantly picking up your phone to see what the notification was for. I had different sounds for each app but not each event and now I do.

[Android Apps and Games] Tiger Shark:
I recently moved from a Pixel 4a to a Pixel 5 (both Android 13) and also changed carriers. I noticed two things that affected my previously working ability to get reminders for voicemail but NOT missed calls. The update to Android 13 was recent, so I don't know which of these caused the change.

1. I was unable to select the Phone app as one to monitor for notifications. I got around this by saving the configuration on my old phone and restoring on the new. But how is it supposed to be done now? As a secondary "Missed call" reminder?

2. The text "Voicemail" is no longer in the notification (the second line is now blank when there is a voicemail left), so I can't filter on it. It looks like I can filter on it NOT saying "Missed call", but is there a better way?
[Android Apps and Games] Tiger Shark:
OK, so how can I have an alert for specific people using the content filter without having a separate entry for every one? Is there a way to have an "or" in the filter, like "Home" OR "Mom"? Other than adding a special character to the actual name, I can't figure out how to have anything in the notification that would uniquely identify a member of a list of callers from whom I wish to get a reminder.

Prof Reminder ver. 3.3.5 on Xiaomi 11 lite 5G working fine ... just disable the LED
[Android Apps and Games] xda_terry:
Hi,

Firstly thanks for the app it works brilliantly (I have the paid for version).

I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but can could I suggest an enhancement?

It would be useful to add the ability to monitor the phone's system level status, such as if GPS has been left switched on. For both battery-draining and security reasons, I like to keep GPS switched off when not in use. So, if ‘Prof Reminder’ could monitor the GPS status and if left on after a configured time with the screen switched off, it would start to give a warning flash.

In addition to the GPS status, perhaps you could also include monitoring of WIFI and Bluetooth being ‘left’ on. You may also think some other statuses may be useful to monitor, like WIFI-hotspot or mobile data.

Terry
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Battery Guru can set custom time limits for how long GPS can be active while the screen is off, and it can send you a notification if it exceeds that limit.

You can also use MacroDroid to create custom automation routines based on various triggers and conditions such as using it to create a macro that triggers a notification or other action (like playing a sound or sending a message) when GPS is active for a specific time while the screen is off and then there is Tasker which is similar to MacroDroid, but with even more advanced features and customization options to create complex automation routines based on various triggers and conditions, including monitoring GPS usage and triggering alerts or other actions.

Great app!

But I have one question:

To improve the service stability I searched for the option to display an icon in the status bar as u wrote before but I can't find this option. Are there only settings for the profiles or is there an extra settings menu for the app? I ask because the HTC One does not have any hardware menu button and I wonder if there is an extra menu which the HTC One does not recognize to display his own software driven menu button?!

Anyways well done :)

Hom about missed voicemail?

Like so many other similar programs, this is missing a missed voicemail notification. You can get a missed voicemail without a missed call if you were in a "dead zone" when the call came in then move to an area where the voicemail notification comes in. But, more importantly, I want a missed call reminder from very few people (like maybe my immediate family and my boss). If anyone else calls and doesn't think it important enough to leave a message, I don't think it's important, either. But if you did think it important enough to leave a message, I want a reminder in case I missed the initial notification.

The only one I have found that does have a missed voicemail reminder stops remining so often that I need a reliable replacement. This looks like it has potential, but lacks this very important reminder.
