Missed call reminder notification reminder - G4 Themes and Apps

I have an AT&T G4 running Lollipop. I keep missing calls and voicemails and unlike any other phone I have owned this one will not notify me again that there was a missed call or that I have a voicemail, or text message that I haven't acknowledged. I have checked out a couple of apps in the play store and the reviews by G4 owners says that they don't work on the G4. Does anyone have an app that will remind me every 5 minutes that I have a missed call, message, or VM? I have tried searching but the Missed Call Reminder are all very generic terms that bring up all sorts of results and Google seems to gladly ignore the variable "LG G4".
Thank you.

I wrote a simple opensource tool to remind periodically about missed notifications with the selected sound. You can select any applications which should be monitored.

Using it on my Realme C3 and loving it. I preferred sound/audio reminder over screen flash or camera flash type apps. Thanks for the app, Eugene. Saving me pulling my hair out after buying the phone and realized it does not have notification reminder function built in like the Samsung!
Note: if the app doesn't work, or stopped working after a while, it's most likely not the app's fault but some power saving or optimization app in your phone is killing the app's background processes. Find it and it'll work properly.

I can definitely test. I am actively blocking calls and SMS/MMS from my ex-wife with Extreme Call Blocker at the moment.
<edit> Downloaded and installed. How do you want to receive feedback?
Please do, and let me know if you encounter any issues. Our app (in terns of functionality at least) is way better than the one youre tlaking about!
i just installed it. since the app also blocks sms, it would be nice to be able to add phone numbers from your sms messages. For example in my country we get sms from the government.
Also, it would be nice to have the option to make an action to send a sms to the caller. Perhaps you are driving and would have a profile "driving" enabled that will automatically reply to a caller with a sms

I know it's another app you'd have to run, but check out Bzzy. There's a lite and $0.99 version here. It does basically that.
The auto-reply feature is already in the works an should be ready for the RC build next week.
I will look into parsing sms messages too...
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!

So much for rogers calling me now!
I'm getting an error every time it gets Root Access that says:
"The Application Voice Commands (process com.nuance,=.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm running fix permissions now to see if it helps.
It didn't fix the FC on Voice Commands when call blocker gets root access.
Just downloaded, I will let you know if I hit any snags
I went back to Extreme Call Blocker. Sorry, but it works perfectly for me, and the menus are more intuitive, and the services easier to set up.
Hope this takes off for you though. Thanks for the chance to help test.
Thanks... its surprising how little people actually help us, even though we do our best to improve things for people.

[APP] TexTab [Updated: Released to Market!]

Update: TexTab has been released in the market! Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta. Download links:
- Full Version
- Lite Version
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone.
I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
App Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings
- Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info
- Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information
Known Bugs:
- Messages not saving to outbox on some devices
- Sometimes unable to connect from one device. Seems to fix after turning bluetooth off then on, on OTHER device.
- Delivery reports are not always reliable, when messages are sent or received very quickly
- Visual issues/ghosting when using Swype keyboard in portrait orientation
- Performance issues on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
Future Development/Requested Features:
- New layout for 7" tablets
- Wifi functionality for increased range
- UI improvements
- Option to sync contacts with phone rather than cloud
- Sync sms history with phone
- Option to mute phone notifications
- Mark incoming messages as "read" on phone
- Popup dialog on received message when app is not in foreground
- MMS support
- Ability to use existing SMS app (GoSMS, Handcent, etc) to send/receive messages on ANOTHER phone
- suggestions?
Installation and Use:
Download the attached zip file and extract it somewhere on your computer. Copy the extracted file, TexTab.apk, onto both of your devices. Find the .apk file using File Manager or your favourite file browser and run it on both devices to install. Once installed, you can access it like any other app, and you can long-press on the homescreen to add the widget.
Once in the app, push the menu button to connect to a paired bluetooth device. If your devices are not paired, simply make one of them discoverable using Menu Button > Make Discoverable and then on the other device use Menu Button > Connect a Device > Scan for Devices to pair the two devices and establish a connection.
Once a connection is established, the devices should show their proper views. If not, click the settings button and change the Device Type. Under settings, you can also select the option to automatically connect to a paired device on startup. You can also enable or disable the bluetooth service under settings, or by using the button on the widget.
To send a message, either type a phone number into the Phone Number... field, or tap the Send To... button to choose a contact from the cloud. Type the message in the Enter a Message... field and tap send. Received messages will automatically show up as long as the app is enabled.
I look forward to any feedback/bug reports/praise/insults you may have!
Changelog:
See attached text file
This sounds awesome! Thanks a lot man.
Could you maybe throw up some instructions for everyone...
Edit: works great so far. Looking foward to the updates!
I updated the OP with installation and usage instructions. Let me know if they're not clear!
Cant wait to give this a try! Awesome
Will deffinately try this, sounds like what I've been looking for!
You say Future Development for WiFi, 2 ways I could suggest to have that.
1) If the tab is tethered to the phone for data (this is how I get my WiFi only tab to have data at work)
2) If they are on the same WiFi network, say I'm at home. Phone is connected to home WiFi and tab is connected to home WiFi.
Just some thoughts
*Edit*
Ok, tried it out and thats pretty cool! I like how the message shows up on the phone and the tab. Is there a way to pull down recient conversations (say from the last 24 hours) incase you wanted to continue a previous conversation? Also, if read on the tab or phone, could it show read on the other device?

This is exactly how the wifi support will work. It will still require the connect to device step, but the range will be limited by your wifi network rather than your phones bluetooth signal.

I've toyed with the idea of syncing sms history with a contact, unfortunately though any operations which involve using sms history are unsupported in the Android SDK and could break my app in the future. Marking a message as read is subject to the same problem. I'll look into it some more.
I appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
I wanna suggest something, look at the app called texter, and the chrome app, then take a look have they work. They work by signing in on your google account on an app on the android phone, and the signing in at the same account on chrome, npw you can sms from chrome throw your phone and recive them, no matter where your phone is, it just need 3g connetion. This is like chrometophone. If you could get it working in this way it would be awsome! And the ofc still the bluetooth or something other when the tab not have internet connection
Loving this app so far, just wanted to report a bug. When a new contact sends a text, it seems to duplicate the view of prior conversations. I have one conversation that's up to three alternate views!
Edit: After a reboot, the duplicates disappeared.

Thanks, added it to the list. As a temporary fix, tapping the settings button and then tapping back will reload the contacts list and they should disappear.
Also I can't seem to delete conversations by long pressing. Is there another way?
I haven't implemented this. I'll consider it a feature suggestion! Are you wanting to delete specific messages within a thread, or whole thread for a contact?
I was actually working on something exactly like this. I did not end up getting much work done though. If you would like any help, just let me know.
Dude, your App is awesome ! ive searched for days for something like this. the only other option is syncsms and that one doesnt support "push", only "all 5 min sync". But your solution via bluetooth is just awesome
ive allready installed it on 5 different transformers for my friends. we are all very happy and would like to donate for your work.
As soon as your App is final, you should totaly put it on market for 1-2$ or more. you will be rich buddy !
Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work. ive allready bookmarked your thread =)
PS: Could you implement the function to mute the notification sound?

I won't name any names, but there is at least one other implementation of this idea. My app goes about it a little bit differently.

Just a contact thread. Specific messages would be a good option if you want this to be a full fledged texting app, but then the deletion wouldn't propogate to the phone without some magic. If this app is intended to be a messenger though, an extension of the phone when the tablet just so happens to be around, I'd like the ability to keep that interface clean and current so its not bogged down with out of date texts.
Edit: Keeping with the 'extension of the phone' idea, you could have an option to clear the text database after a certain amount of time disconnected from a device.
a friend of mine just told me that his phone is acting wierd.
he installed the app and send me 5 texts over his pad and i got them all. but his phone wont show what he wrote and in his phone there are only the sms from me and not his. we both use the lg optimus 2x.
and also his phone send 2 sms to the number "555555555" with text "default body". right after he installed the app and tried to send texts over his pad.
any idea?

I have an idea about what's happening here. As I mentioned in an earlier post, any operations that involve your phones SMS history are unsupported in the Android SDK. It sounds like your particular phone model doesn't access SMS history in the same way as other phones, so the app is unable to save sent messages in your phones SMS history.
The number "5555555555" and "default body" are used when there is a problem saving the data to your phone. The phone was told that a message was sent to that number; but no SMS was actually sent.
I'll try and find a workaround for this phone.
Do other people using this phone model have the same problem? Or any other LG phone?
No one else have that issue.
we both use the same lg and we both use a modaco rom. the only difference is, iam using modaco version ~16 and he version ~19. so the problem should lie in the difference of that roms. he just got furios because he tought the app had send 2 sms to a pricy number...
after reading your explanation we saw that everytime he sends a text to me he got a 55555555 sms with default body, so its realy the fact that his phone cant save the textmessage into the threaded sms history. its send, but not saved. on the other hand it flawlessly work on my phone. i can send a text on my pad and see it almost directly on my phone in the threaded history. funny tho =) now we're gonna flash his phone to another rom.
i'll keep an eye on this thread. it would be realy cool if you would mention it somewhere when u think u found a workarround. we will test it then =)
ah and we found another bug just now. when i want to write a new sms to contactB i have no choice to choose the number to send. so my girlfriend for example have 3 different numbers, and the app want to use the first number of the contact, in this situation its her home number.. no way to send a sms to that one ^^

Thanks for the clarification. It must be an incompatibility with the rom then.
I'll repeat for clarity: when you see a message to the number "5555555555" its simply a problem with the phone not saving the information properly. An SMS has NOT been sent to this number.
Please let me know if flashing a different rom fixes the problem!

How Much Spam do You Guys Get and What are You Doing About it?

Recently I've been getting tons of phone call spam, and it's getting outta control.
Basically I'm seeing numbers like:
7829105866
7436694122
ETC...
No messages left, and when you pickup the phone there's nobody on the other end.
Honestly I don't know what caused this. I do light surfing on my phone. (no porn, casino, ETC...) I usually install apps that I only pay for from the Market, and I usually only install what I need. I do have an unlocked BL & rooted Atrix (currently on stock 2.3.6).
I'm getting somewhere between 3-10 calls a day, and it's getting frustrating! I've been dabbling around lately with call blockers, but will probably need to spend more time researching them.
Anywhoo... Anybody else here dealing with the call spam as well? If so how much, and what are you doing about it?... (Call Blockers?, Antivirus?, Firewalls?)

Probably a better place to take this inquiry is to your provider. An app on the phone would not fix the underlying issue.

I've been picking away at different call blockers, but striking out since calls are still getting through. All this BS shortly happened after I rooted my phone, (needed to use a new root method) and it appears that these calls are coming from India.
So I'm not sure if I should stay rooted, unroot, or find a new root method?...
Simple in cm7 settings there is an option to block number so no more missed calls and **** (i am sure there is an app for that too) and for sms spam.control install go sms and block the numbers there too, i am sure u just block numbers and soon they will run out of numbers

I get a few spam calls each month. All from a cruise company. To combat it, I created a spam contact and add all spam calls to that contact, then just ignore calls that show as that contact. Pretty easy.

Thanks... Haven't gone the CM7 route yet. I'm not sure if flashing CM7 would be a solution to me though, since each one of these calls has been from a different number. I don't know if it's spoofed or what, but I don't know if these numbers are ever gonna run out.
The only thing I got to work is using a 3rd party app to "somewhat" block calls not in my contacts list. Phone still rings first. Unfortunately I still need to receive calls outside of my contact list for work. Probably the only "solution" that would work for now is if I could block out any call outside of the US, and also not ringing my phone when blocked. (since these calls seem to be coming from India on Google searches) I'm not sure if such a solution exists...

You have to pay for blocking with AT&T, and then its limited to only a few numbers. They wont arbitrarily block numbers. I would google the numbers. If they're spam you'll find threads about them. There are apps which block numbers not in your contact list and don't ring 1st. That would work for you for time being. You probably signed up for something where you input your number without thinking. I will try to find app I know about when I get home.

Search Mr. Number in the market. It has the option to send all non-contact calls straight to voicemail (and many other options). So long as you make sure your voicemail notification is silent, you should be set. If these spam calls are conistently blank, I assume they won't even leave a voicemail.
This is what I used to block my ex-wife!

I've been getting a lot of calls recently from random 877 and 360 area code numbers...not sure why but it's pretty annoying
I've gotten all kinds of calls from political candidates to timeshares calls. I have had this problem for a while so I started adding all those numbers to a generic contact (I called mine "Bad People"). I tried all kinds of apps but none worked well. I found that right in the Android contact list, there is an option to send contact straight to voice mail. I can confirm it on both CM7 and CM9, pretty sure blur had it but not 100%. I'm on CM9 right now and when you select the contact that option is available when you hit the menu button, it is not available when you are editing the contact.
Additionally, I was getting calls from "Unknown" callers which is also very annoying, to beat this I added a contact with the name "Unknown" and selected the option for that contact to go straight to voicemail and that has seemed to work. It went from 3 or 4 unknown calls a day to 0 and if it was a real person, they could always leave a message.
As a heads up, I had over 120 numbers on my fake contact and my phone was having a lot of trouble (adding, syncing and blocking), so I broke that one contact into 3 fake contacts, 50 numbers per fake contact seems to work pretty well, just make sure you send all 3 voicemail.
Also if you flash a new rom to your phone, you will have to go to the fake contact and check the box to send them back to voicemail, but that's easy to do.

That's the one I've been trying out right now. The jury is still out about that one, since the only way that it works well is if I block all numbers not in my contacts, but that isn't doable for work.
The frustrating part is that I am not getting the same number, it's "random" numbers and no number is the same when it calls. They all appear to be coming from India. If I can find a program that blocks all calls outside the US, it would be perfect...
Great solution actually.
Do you think the block list size caused problems?

How much did that cost you? & Did you have to do a new contract?...

App making calls? How to track?

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 with 7.0 on it. In looking at my verizon account online, there are several 1 minute calls to a number in my area code daily. These are not shown in my call history on the phone so I assume that some other app is making them. When I call the number I get put into a google voice voicemail with no identifying information.
How can I tell which app is making the calls? Is there any other explanation? Thanks.

I don't know if there's a real solution for this but I'd suggest perhaps identifying which apps have calling permissions and disable or remove the apps and see if whether or not they stop by trial and error.

Thanks, I had already started doing that, but with seeming random calls, it will take a while to determine whether it has stopped or not. Seems like there should be a log somewhere, will have to see what I can do with the terminal to try to find it.

I feel you, Wish I could provide a more solid solution to it, perhaps there is a log. Nonetheless, good luck.

App that has Smart Alerts (vibrate when picked up) ?

Hi,
Is there any app that has the option to have the phone vibrate when picking it up when it has missed messages or calls ? It used to be a standard option for androids called 'Smart Alerts' and senior phones still have it...
Of course they removed it now, as they ALWAYS do with the cool features, leaving only the crap.
So is there any app that has this? Smart Notify claims it does but it doesn't work at all... beware I have not rooted my phone and I am probably not likely to do so...
Thanks,

Just saying, there used to be 'Vibify' which was in the play store, but it isn't there anymore...
I don't get it, one of the coolest features since Android 5 and no one seems to even know what I mean, wherever I ask...
Absurd. It's when you physically pick up the device off from the table, the motion sensor then triggers a single short vibration to let you know you have missed calls and/or messages...
Anyone ? Thanks.
