How to make sure that you have heard (Android)

Most recently, we published an overview of a simple applicationThat allows you to switch your phone running Android in silent mode for a predetermined period of time. It really is a good habit, allows you to keep your peace and decency during class, meetings, film shows, visits to libraries, museums and all the places where loud sounds are inappropriate.

But what if there was a situation when someone is really an urgent need to contact you? Sometimes there are subscribers who call on which you simply can not miss. Or vice versa, there is the person to whom you want to have access regardless of the phone's settings. We would therefore like to propose two applications that solve these problems well.

TeXTe

This application is intended to play loud sound signal when receiving an SMS containing your assigned codeword. In this case, of course, regardless of the beep sound settings on the device.

It works as follows. You install the program on human TeXTe phone to which you want to reach guaranteed. After that you specify the word in the settings that will be tracked in incoming messages and run the siren on the phone. Make sure that it is quite a rare word to avoid false positives. You can also specify an audio file, which will be launched.

Silent Mode Bypass

If you're worried about missing a phone call from a particular person, you can try the utility Silent Mode Bypass. It allows you to place you are interested contact numbers in a special list, which allows subscribers listed in it to call you without going through a quiet mode, the machine. That is, when you call from these people, you will hear the sound of a normal call, while all others will be blanked. Very convenient if you want to give a specific person an opportunity to reach you at all times.
