AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:
Missed Call Android App is a great tool for notifying you of any missed Call, SMS Text Message, Blue Tooth service, Calendar service, and even Application service. You have the option to show the Notifications status icon and to Auto-start the app.
Missed Call Android App fills a void with Android which by default doesn’t offer adequate settings to be notified of missed calls or SMS text messages. There is just a flashing green LED light. Missed Call Android App allows you to configure notification services, LED color and LED intervals, vibration and vibration intervals, sound… plus option to choose sound file, and repeat notification options.
The calendar notifications are not 100%. At the moment when an event reminder pops up you will get your custom LED notification. All the other notifications are disabled. In addition you have to stop the LED by sliding down the window shade status bar!
You have to deactivate the notifications in the default messaging applications or any other application that organizes your SMS. If you don’t do this you will get two notifications!
Tip on how to disable SMS notifications in other apps.
If using SMS apps like the default Messaging or ChompSMS:
- Open Messaging app
- Tapp “Menu” button
- Tapp “Settings”
- Tapp “Notifications”
-
- Missed Call Options Checked
-
- Missed Call Settings for Missed Call
-
- Missed Call Settings for Incoming Call
-
- Missed Call Settings for SMS
-
- Missed Call Settings for Calendar
-
- Missed Call Settings for BlueTooth Enabled
-
- Missed Call Settings for BlueTooth Device Connected
-
- Missed Call for Application Installed
Usefulness:
Missed Call Android App is very useful for those who are frustrated by not receiving adequate alerts of missed phone events. Gripe Alert: Although some alerts can be a little annoying as you have to slide the window shade down to stop the LED blinking light, this reassures that the app is doing its job.
Ease of Use & Interface:
Upon launch, Missed Call Android App is an app of settings menus you can configure to suit your alert needs. Operating the app is intuitive, and allows you to delve into more advanced settings.
Frequently Used:
Intended for daily use (plus it auto launches upon reboot and runs in the background).

This app will blink the phone’s LED whenever your attention is required. I no longer need to push any button to see if there are any notifications!!
After upgrading to latest version I’m having trouble with calendar notifications though: the LED does not blink
Is there a site to report bugs / ask for help?
I can’t make this work on my new Verizon droid. I’m looking for an app to make sms messages ring until read. I need this so my droid can be a pager. I have tried to trouble shoot based on notes on this page with no luck. any ideas? even if the idea is another app. thanks
Does Anybody Know How To Download These Apps?
I can not get the green checks to appear on the missed call options page. The page with all the services listed. I have click on Call Setting and enable the missed calls and incoming calls. But still can not get the green checks to appear. Also the LED doesn’t flash when I test the app by calling my phone and let it missed the call. Or by sending text message ethier. Yes I disabled the message notifications as you suggested
is android missed call for iPhone? if yes, where do i find it to download? is it a jailbreak?
Hey… are you ok? It’s for ANDROID and not iPhone! ANDROID is not iPhone is it so difficult to understand?
thats one of the funniest things i ever herd in my life
YOU HAVE TO GROW A LOT BABY…
I don’t get the custom patterns. Doesn’t seem to work
Great app, mostly works as it should be not completely reliable. I’ve seen it fail to alert a new SMS right in front of my eyes.
Wicked app, like it a lot
Just have an idea for an update. Is there anyway of adding email notifications into it so we can adjust the light color and vibrations on that??
Love the app overall
I would also really like email notification customization. I emailed the developer, but haven’t heard back.
where is it..? can´t find the app in market…
If on computer try scanning the QR Code on your monitor with Bar Code Scanner for direct link in the Market. Or try browsing this page from your phone and tapp the QR Code for direct link in the Market
how do i get it on my phone not in marketplace and i cant scan the barcode for some reason??????
Try browsing this page from your phone and tapp the QR Code for direct link in the Market
i have tried from the phone and it tells me there is no match found in marketplace. any idea why or what else to try?
my phone is the new HTC ERIS maybe it wont work with it?
I dotn see it in the Market either but they do hav downloa links on their twitter page http://twitter.com/missed_call
Thanks for that! Oh and your site is Hot… literally
On the Verizon Motorola Droid the works sporadically. For example I setup the Missed Call server to vibrate and play a sound every 10 min when I miss a call, after clearing the call from my notification bar up top the phone continued to vibrate and play the sound.
I hope the developer can test and debug this app, this should have been built into the phone. Please update, I know this stuff is not easy!!
I agree with it’s sporadic usefulness on the Motorola Droid. I’ve had it configured for probably 4-5 months now….it might notify me once if I have a missed call (by sound). and yes, it is figured correctly and to repeat every 5 minutes.
Disappointed…….but I’m having a lot of disappontements with the Droid….
I can’t get the app to load on my Verizon Eris Droid phone. I downloaded it on the phone from your website; set the phone to allow non-Market applications; installed, but got an error message that “this application cannot be installed.”
I can’t install on Eris either. Sounds like a GREAT app and fills a HUGE void for me – I live and die by the ability to get reminded of missed calls and texts. Will this app be available for the Eris any time soon? PLEASE!!!
Hi guys I am trying to download and i cant, i own a htc Hero from sprint, any help please
Please add Voice mail alerts to this application. It is the another glaring miss that you can not set a sep alert on the droid for VM and reminder notifications !
You don’t NEED a reminder for voicemail. To get voicemail you have to miss a call. There is a reminder for missed calls.
Sometimes my phone doesn’t ring and all of a sudden I have a voicemail alert pop-up. So I would disagree and say you NEED a voicemail reminder.
does this work for the samsung moment?? i hate that it doesnt have any led or notification when i get a text!
This is a dead link …
Is this app still available ?
I have the Samsung Moment and cannot get it to download and cannot find it in the Market. Please help! I hate missing my calls and not knowing it and I cannot find any other app out there other then this.
Thanks!
I cant find the app in the market. i have the my touch.. how can i get missed call?

this app does not notify by sound when you miss a call only by the light .Is there any thing to have your phone sound when call missed
PLEASE ADD VOICEMAIL AND/OR EMAIL LED COLOR CHANGING ABILITY
Any thoughts on getting a “Repeat Settings” option for the Calendar Service?

I tried reinstall (remove backups)cleanly, restart system, remove , install, ………… with no success.
Can anybody say which cfg, files is app. touching & how.

THX. for any idea..

You have a bug in version 0.9.2:
For SMS, if there are more than one SMS, it shows the right number of unread sms in the notification bar but it only displays the newest one if you pull down the notification bar. Problem by that: Once it’s read, it does not disappear, and the other new sms are never see through the notification and have to be found in the default sms program.
Example:
SMS_1 comes in at 8pm
SMS_2 comes in at 9pm
SMS_3 comes in at 10pm
Now I unlock the mobile and see the number 3 in the notification (# new sms’), I drag down the notification bar and it shows me SMS_3.
So far so good, but now the problem starts:
The number goes down to 2 (logically because only SMS_3 has been read so far).
But when I pull down the notification and want to read SMS_2 and SMS_1, this is not possible, it only shows me the last one (SMS_3).
This is a kind of deadlock. I will never be able to read SMS_1 or SMS_2 through the notification bar. I’d have to go to the default SMS program and look for unread sms (bold font).
Hope this helps isolating the source of the bug
Have a nice day,
Patrick
Just got it working on my MotoDroid. Finally some proper
New Moto Droid: I need reminders of sms received. Remiders work great if sent from other phones, but sms sent from email cause an error message to pop up…no sounds or lights at all. This happens with all emails sent to #@vtext.com. Error msg ” Sorry! The application Missed Call (process de.anno.android.missedCall) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again” FORCE CLOSE
Please help the OilMan
Hi,
Using this application is it possible to disable any notification when i get a call ?
I mean, i would like that when some selected contacts call me, nothing happens, at least i would like the screen to keep being switched off, is it possible ?
do you know any other application to avoid my Nexus one screen so switch on when having notifications ?
Thanks for help.
There’s an easier option already built into your Nexus One. Go to the contact » hit Menu button then Options » check “Incoming calls Send calls directly to voicemail”. The phone will never ring nor light up when that person calls. You’ll have to check your window shade status bar, voicemail or call log to know they called.
totally unresponsive dev, custom missed call LEDs now busted in Froyo 2.2, NO more calendar notifications either. this app is dying on the vine. sad, use to be useful.
Seems like this app needs work. Only thing I can get to work for the missed call is the blinking LED. all else programmable options like tone and vibration don’t work.
I have the Sprint HTC Hero and i cant download at all, running 1.5 verision.
