Attention Grabber extends the functionality of the Attention Manager, it grabs your attention by emitting a beep, turning on the LED or vibrating periodically when you have pending alerts.
This is most useful on a device like my Treo 650 wich does not continuously alert me to the fact that I've missed a call or an SMS, something I was used to from my previous phone.
Here are some key features of "Attention Grabber":
- You can enable or disable the app (note that it is always disabled while running but it re-enables when it closes).
- You can tell the app to re-enable itself after a soft reset.
- You can specify the number of seconds between attention grabbing attempts.
- You can enable or disable the audible beep.
- You can enable or disable the LED while there are pending attention items.
- You can enable or disable the vibrator (useful if you have muted the sound on your Treo).
Update Description:
- There are now 2 profiles (called Active and Passive) that can be used to customize the way AttnGrab notifies you.
- Profiles can be activated manually or at a set time.
- The profile can change while an alert is active and the new settings will apply immediately. The exception to this is the LED colour, which does not change.
- Massive code refactoring (I've been wanting to do this and the large changes needed for profile support were a perfect opportunity to do it).
- Added a button to let you test the beep parameters without having to create an alert.

Every time a missed call comes it, it causes my treo 700p to reboot.
