I need a suggestion to a whole solution that works for someone like me that's on a rotation on-call schedule at work. The way our on-call works is if the helpdesk receives a high priority ticket for our group, they make a "P2" ticket. The helpdesk system then pages out to who's oncall to their e-mail address. Everyone in the helpdesk system has an oncall phone number. I just put in my cell number. Then I use Klaxon app so when texts come in from the helpdesk, it constantly pages until I acknowledge it.
It works pretty good. But there are problems with it. Some reason it seems like every few days, I'll check what apps are running in the background and notice Klaxon isn't running. If the app closes when I don't notice, I could miss a page. I'd like to know why it keeps crashing in the background. I have a Motorola Droid Maxx phone.
Another problem I have is to make sure Klaxon alerts me at night, I have to put my volume all the way up on my phone. So, it startles me for every single e-mail or alert. Only the pages go off non-stop. But usually every alert wakes me up.
I do see that Klaxon has a preference to use alarm volume instead of phone volume. But I also run sound profiles and there is no option to adjust the alarm volume. It's the first day of me trying this. So hopefully muting my sounds won't touch the alarm volume seeing it's not an option in the sound profiles.
What would be nice is to figure out how my co-worker is doing what he's doing. (My work doesn't like to share info. He's figured out a way to make what he does work but he figured it out and it's his...)
But I know he puts a different number in the helpdesk system as his pager number. It's a 3rd party service that then routes back to his phone and his phone is set to alarm loud only for messages that come from that 3rd party service. But everything I find costs like $10 a month for it, and I don't know if I feel like paying $10 a month for a service.
So, I was hoping someone had a solution that was 100% perfected to go off loud and constant for e-mails from a few different sources. But every other e-mail, text, alarm, etc. is 100% quiet all night.
