Sorry if this is not the right place. i didn't see any section that seemed to be about searching for an app with specific features.
I want to setup an inbound Google Voice # on my phone to be used to contact me for emergency situations. But often, I have my volume turned down. But I never want to miss an emergency call, so I want a loud notification (kinda of like an emergency weather alert or amber alert) to play if a call comes in on this special number regardless of the current volume setting.
Are there any apps like that?
Thanks.

There's been this issue with the Nike that when you enable vibration on incoming SMS alerts, it will at a certain point vibrate endlessly, and the only way to stop the vibration is to pull out the battery (if I can recall it right, even a soft reset won't stop it).
I don't know if there has been a fix for this already but I'm just gonna post this for people who wants their phone to vibrate when receiving SMS
The workaround is really simple, just download the app OS Remind Me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=hide+sim+contacts
Enable the vibration option and check the option "Unread SMS". On the "Alarm Sound" option, choose another kind of sound, one that makes less noise like the Default.wav, BECAUSE it will play at the same time with your default SMS alert tone and will mix up the sounds. Finally, make sure the program is running! Don't close it, use the "hide" function so it stays up and running.
And taadaaaaa... every time someone texts you it will vibrate
Thank you to whoever made this app!
I'm finding I'm missing loads of text messages & would love it if the phone would alert me repeatedly until I finally notice the sms and read it.
I have dug around the phones menus but with no luck. Not sure if I'm just missing it as I'm new to Android (loving It).
Is their a setting to enable this feature or will I just have to choose a longer/louder sms notification sound.
Thanks.
use handcent SMS, you can set how long the phone should vibrate, and I also recommend NoLED

Thanks, I'll take a look at those.
also SMS Popup, which I prefer to Handcent...
Thanks, gonna have a play around with both and see which i prefer.
SMS!Alert
You can try SMS!Alert.
Allow you to create custom alerts based on SMS messages, enter a incoming phone number and/or keyword filter, when someone sends a SMS with the keyword filter text or if incoming phone number matches, phone will display sound alert.
Hi Everyone,
I keep having the following problem with my Galaxy S2.
In the standard mail app, I've selected the option to make a notification in the status bar when I've got a new mail, I've selected the silent ring tone, and vibrate is on always.
The phone itself is also in silent mode.
I keep ketting a sound when I've got a new mail, and its annoyingly loud. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Only when the option to make a notification is not checked, I do not get a sound. But then there is no notification, and no orange bubble with the number of new unread mails.
Can anyone help me?
- some extra info: standard samsung rom, not rooted.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update: I still have not found where I can turn off the sound. A new SMS makes the same noice. It is annoying as hell and I'm close to hitting the miserable piece of **** with a hammer.
My last phone with lollipop had an option to make incoming calls non intrusive, and show on status bar, when someone called me I see the call on status bar, there I could reject accept or ignore, if I accepted the call I could keep playing the game while talking.
But in marshmallow with this phone when I get a call the game goes to background because incoming call steals the whole screen and at that point I loose the game connection.
The weird part is this. After I get interrupted and phone is ringing I see an icon on bottom left corner to make the call show on notification bar, and then I can talk and play, But this change should be permanent for all calls, and it isn't.
I need this, help please
Apologize if this is a duplicate. Search did not bring back the info I was looking for.
Having the problem with Google voice text. I want to disable the peek notifications while the phone is on. So I'm not interrupted doing other things.
I have set all the settings to make noise only, but i still get the peek notification when a text is received.
I did notice that on the HUD when you swipe the notification and click on the settings icon for the notification, the Uncategorized section in the notification area for the google voice app flashes to focus attention.
I double checked on my Essential Ph-1 the uncategorized section can be set to Allow sound, but on my S9+ there is not a setting in this category for sound only. Just let app decide. If i turn sound off for the categorized section then I do not get GV text message notifications.
To clarify what I want to do is suppress the peek notifications for GV text messages while the phone is on, but allow a sound to play.
Weird that my Ph-1 would allow this but the S9+ does not even allow the change of the setting.
