Sound alert when missed call or message?

My Motorola phone has the greatest feature where it sounds an alert every min or so if I have missed a call or message, until I dismiss it.
Anyone know of a small app or other way to get the Hermes to do this.
Thanks for any help.

Give PocketMax PhoneAlarm a try. Apart from its repeating alarm functionality it also gives you the option of Profiles again soothing missing in the operating system.

There's eve a free version called Phonealarm Lite and it still has all the alarm features as the pay package.

I just set under sounds and nottifications under the missed call tab to the sound of my choice and repeat.
So basiacly I now get a small shirp that beeps every second until I check it.
You can't pick the interval with using the defualt, but it is better than nothing.

I have never installed PhoneAlarm Lite so I cannot comment.
However on the full version you can set the duration after which the missed call, e-mail, SMS, etc sounds would repeat.

Yes I had done this but I don't have the option to repeat - it is greyed out, so it only plays once. Wonder why you have it?

The Lite version does the exact same thing, however, it's not actually free as I posted above. Apparently I was having a "senior moment" .

Thanks for the suggestions.
Tried Phone Alarm Lite which does what I want but it has just too much stuff. Really don't want my Today screen messed with.
I would have thought something very simple would be easy to create and very popular. As mentioned the options are ALMOST already in the OS
When I see some of the ridiculous progs that people write I can't believe that no one has turned their attention to this. (e.g. Menstural Cycle Calculator so you know when not to invite your gf for a swim!)

Damn. So close yet so far...
Found what seemed to be the perfect app but I can't get it to work on my Hermes.

Guess I'll just nave to keep looking

You could try Pocket Zen Phone:

I think this can be used with just an icon in the tray, and supports repeating alarms.
I haven't used it for ages myself, but you could try it.

[Q] Anyway to Speak The Caller ID

Couldn't find it by searching, is there an app or a hidden somewhere that will read the caller ID and then play the normal ring tone.
(i.e. "Incoming Call From <INSERT NAME>...."<plays ringtone>)
I wanted to try Ring Pro but didn't want to spend $3 on something that may not work.

Tasker can do that along with a million other things, it's a little pricey though.

Yeah - Trying not to spend $$$. I'm trying one of the free apps on the market to see if it does it OK. Right now it works but it uses the media volume and doesn't turn up on speaking.

Hey

How to setup voice notifications using Tasker | Tutorial

Hey Guys!
Tasker is really epic, we all know that dont we?
I discovered something epic, and made a tutorial out of it for you all to give it a shot, it works on any android device [It's 2015, get a decent device] it's not restricted to the One.
Why can this be usefull?
Well my friend at The Techolic featured the video on his website, and and mentioned every reason why this is epic!
So do check the article out too!
http://bit.ly/TheTecholic-BlogPost
So what is the tutorial about?
It's simple, suppose you're cycling (using my own example), headphones always on, due to that i miss important notifications, even if i notice that something has come, i have to stop to read the notification, but that irritates me, or moreover takes my average speed , So i used Tasker and Autonotification to make a profile which would work with headphones connected/or not (it's upto you), the profile will speak up all notifications, specially whats app's or texts, for eg. it would say, "New Message from (Contact Name). (Message).
This also works for all of us lazy asses out there, Feeling Lazy to read? or even extend your hand to the table next to you? damn this would do the job for you, speak up the notifications
Let me know how is it, and if you find it usefull, hit on the Thanks meter

For those of us hard of hearing, would you post up the Tasker config file for this and or write up the How To?

Nothing new that is not on Youtube and the multitude of 101 Tasker howto videos. Oh and please don't bump you own posts.... And BTW you don't need anything else than Tasker to do this. You want ot learn more about tasker programming ? Look for
hollywoodfrodo's videos i found it to be one of the best.

[Q] Custom Ringtones & Notification Sounds?

I'm searching for a way to assign a custom MP3 ringtone for each contact on my 6P, just like I did for my Galaxy S3 & my Note 3. A free or paid Play Store app (doesn't matter which because I have that $50 Play store credit) would be ideal!
It's really bumming me out that the latest & greatest Nexus 6P just doesn't have that capability, or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?? For example, on my Note 3 when my Sister calls, I would hear Weird Al's "White & Nerdy". When my mother calls, I would hear "Like a G6". And when my boss calls, I would hear Cheech Marin's voice knocking on the door saying "It's me, Dave...D A V E!" His name actually is Dave, so that just fits! You get the idea.
Any suggestions for an app that would watch for incoming calls, then play the ringtone I would assign to that person? I've already transferred all of the MP3's, notifications & ringtones from my Note 3 to the appropriate folders in the 6P AND they are selectable for a default sound, but no custom contact ringtones or custom notifications sounds for each event.
Not rooted (yet, but most likely will in time) so still all stock with build MDA89D
You help will be greatly appreciated. And if I'm missing the obvious here, please feel free to laugh at my pain!

I use Light Flow for that. Other folks here have posted that it works for them without root for LED customizations, but I haven't received my 6P yet to test it myself... If it works, it should do both custom LED and sound notifications.

If you go to contacts and edit the contact you want once you hit edit touch the 3 dots it should show set ringtone in the options thats just for incoming calls only not for messages

That solves the custom ringtone problem. How did I miss that one?? I tried to edit the contacts as you said, but I completely missed the three dots menu. [face palm!]
But Light Flow sounds as the way to go. I'm used to having a blue LED for missed calls, green for text messages & red for voicemail. If the 6P has those options already built-in, then a lil customization of those couldn't hurt!

On that note, it is *ridiculous* that Android doesn't have the possibility of individual text tones.

Use Rings Extended in Play Store...can assign any ringtone or notification, ANYWHERE

If you use Hangouts for SMS, you can set a custom tone for each conversation. I still prefer Light Flow, though, because it lets me change LED colors, blink rates, and durations per notification type/person. It also allows similar options for custom vibrations.

I may get the anti VZW hate on this one....but I use Verizon messages. Can use individual text tones on that. I like the app as when I switch roms, it syncs all texts and pic messages for me. No need to back them up and they are also on my tablet. However, I agree that it's BS that google does not make this a feature in the stock messaging app. I used to use Hangouts before switching to VZW messages.

Just tried this with no joy. Only the stock ringtones seem to work. Will we have to root to assign custom sounds?

If you go into the default messenger app
click on the thread with your contact
Hit the 3 dots in upper right
Select People and Options
Click Sounds
Select your custom notification tone

Got my 6P on Friday, and for the life of me couldn't find how to set this, even though I had it set on my Nexus 5. Thank you!

Then you don't know Android... Try again.
The solutions for messenger & hangouts are temporary. If you delete the conversation, they'll reset next time you get a message from that contact. If you want permanent solutions, you need something like textra or handcent.

I don't think it should be necessary with a third-party app to do that. On the iPhone the feature is build into the OS.

That's the stupidest argument ever! If you're gonna compare every feature to what the iPhone can do, why not get an iPhone?

Well, I'm just comparing ideas and that happens to be one that I like. I don't get why you react so aggressive to me saying that I would like it to be a core feature of Android. After all, you could do this on a Nokia 3310. I don't get why it is a bad thing to request these much more sophisticated devices to do the same. I won't ever get an iPhone an have been using Android for years - but the ring tone thing - I *personally* think that iPhone handles that better.

No one's being aggressive. I just think it's stupid to compare features that way. Well the iPhone has it, why can't I? Do you want a big round button on your phone too? Do you want an apple logo? The iPhone has them. And I'm going to assume you're semi intelligent, being that you are on these forums... Making a request, as you put it, will get you nowhere here. Messenger & hangouts are Google Apps. No one here is going to add those features for you. So your request here is gonna get you a 3rd party app. But since you already said you didn't want that, guess you're out of luck. Enough on the that. Good day & good luck in your search for a 1st party app that has those features

I know all those things. That's why I've been a Handcent user for years.

Here is the solution.
Download a file explorer app such as ES file explorer.
That's it.
Now where you chose to select ringtone, you will be ask to chose from..
1. ES file Explorer
2. Media Storage
Choose ES file explorer and find the song you wanna put as ring tone or alarm tone.
That's it.. Work done for free.
This even works for individual contact tone.
Open the contact in the edit mode..
Click on those three dots for further options.
Set ringtone and then chose the ES file Explorer option.. ?

Why do my custom ring tones and notifications reset themselves sometimes? I'm using stock, locked, unrooted N6P.

Are you looking for your ringtone to change on its own randomly each call that comes in or are you trying to have a particular ringtone assigned to certain individuals in your contact list?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 UnRooted SM-N960W Snapdragon Variant Canadian Model. 6GB/128GB Blue running Android Pie first stable release. I found an app that works, at least on mine it does, just tested it 4 or 5 times having my girlfriend call me. Make sure you turn off "battery optimization" so it does not get put to sleep, also make sure all permissions are granted. "change system settings" must be set to allowed, and notifications must be set to allowed. Here is the app I tested & works fine for me. Hope this helps you out. Message me if you need anything.
Cheers

You can select random Ringtones, random sms/mms tones, and if you buy app it removes ad banner, and let's you pick random notifications for any app as well. Works fine for ringtones in the free version, never tried sms/mms tho. I have my tones in .m4a file format & they may need to be a certain length, not sure, mine are full songs so 2+ minutes and had no issues. Cool idea, thanks for the help request, led me to something new.

Thank you, TWiiTCH! This application has a slightly weird interface, but it works!

Unfortunately this app doesn't work anymore. And it's a bit outdated. I used to have this app for a couple of years and it was great, actually - the best. But it obviously doesn't support Android 13 on both of my phones.
For now I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplycomplexapps.randomnotificationsounds for randomization of notifications and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leonidbuzmacov.ringtonerotator for ringtones.
But RRM was better because of all-in-one app and it has great features with special conditions for concrete apps, current location etc.
