About misHaps - Emergency & Loss

Device Owner and Emergency Contact Information Over Your Secure Lock Screen.

Secure lock screens are great for privacy but they can also work against you in case your phone is lost or if you get yourself in an emergency situation.

misHaps gives you a way to display your contact information for whomever finds your phone as well as those of a person to reach in case of emergency, all while keeping the device securely locked.

misHaps is designed to be as non intrusive as possible. It will only show the above information if your device is locked and after a delay that you can set in the preferences. Adjust this delay to work best with your screen timeout settings and your phone usage habits.


IMPORTANT NOTICE
misHaps is tested with your device’s stock lock screens. It will not work as intended with replacement lock screens.

Required Permission Explanation

Read phone state and identity: Required for misHaps to detect that the screen was turned on due to the phone ringing. The misHaps screen will not be shown in this case

Display System Level Alerts: Required for misHaps screen to display over the lockscreen

Retrieve running applications: Required for avoiding conflicts with other activities that can wake up the phone such as alarms and reminders

Automatically start at boot: Required for enabling the misHaps screen to display right after the device is restarted. This is critical in cases where the device is found with an empty battery or simply turned off

Edit: one day after I posted this problem, the developer posted a fix. I have changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars. THANKS dude. If I leave any app open, when I go back into the phone (by tapping power button) the mishap screens do not show. Only my PIN NUMBER log in shows. I have Mishap set to INSTANTANEOUS.

Installed on an EVO 4g LTE. Has locked up my app screen 2x. Had to force stop. If it happens again "uninstall" will be a permanent fix.

Would love to see an option to have this pop up if they put in a wrong pin, very good app but.

Does exactly what it says. Option for an even quicker popup..or message appearing above lockscreen constantly would be nice. Not sure if someone finding a phone waits for a screen to appear. ---- lol..looks like youve done it !

Useful app that could save you quite a bit of trouble of you lose your phone. Suggestions for improvement: 1. Explanation of need to collect phone info 2. Preview option from settings screen 3. Option for single screen with both lost and emergency info 4. Tap info pages to return to lock screen 5. Link from lock screen to view info manually 6. Option to call specified contact only 7. Keep screen on for short period once info appears (screen timeout sometimes kicks on right after contact info appears)

Great concept and it works great on my Samsung R. The developers are fairly awesome too, put a feature request in and within the hour they had pushed it out. Fab stuff.

My alarm clock tries to wake me in the morning, but this program immediately puts it back to sleep. It also interferes with the screen swjpe I use when I turn on my phone. I was robbed. Don't buy it!!

Q70%
by Q####:

Heard about this app on Lifehacker and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the app did not have time to display due to a short screen timeout that couldn't be adjusted on my phone. Within a day, the dev emailed me to let me know they had updated the app, having adding "Immediate" and "3 Seconds" as options for the info to display. The immediate display of info is a bit obtrusive but it's more than worth it to me. I highly recommend this app. (Samsung Exhibit 4G)

T70%
by T####:

I've purchased and have this app, and I like everything but the Delay setting. The smallest amount of time is 5 seconds and there should be an option for even fewer seconds, like 2. If I were to find someone's phone, I don't think I would stare at the screen I've just activated for 5 whole seconds.. I would probably notice it's locked and figure there is nothing I can do to find its owner.

Ap does exactly as it states. I've been looking fir an Ap to do this for a long time. A couple suggestions; why does the Ap show my wallpaper instead of the Lockscreen paper? Can you ad the option to not display email? Thanks.

by Y####:

Badly needs bugs fixed Problems: 1) Blank screen (although info is set) 2) App makes my screen turn back on and it'll still be on when I wake up in the morning (screen settings set to shut off after a minute and to shut screen off at default). Otherwise, very cool app! I like how you can customize a bit too. :-)

My only problem is that it makes my screen turn back on and it'll still be on when I wake up in the morning (screen settings set to shut off after a minute and to shut screen off at default). Otherwise, very cool app! I like how you can customize a bit too. :-)

I looked every where for this simple app!! (Playstore quit hiding these good ones!! ) so glad I finally found it in the web. Simple and yet nice looking that pops up when your phone is locked in case some one finds it to return to you. Thank you Dev! !

That's your first option of getting your device back before going for more sophisticated apps. Anya: It is clearly written in the description that misHaps will not work with 3rd party lockscreens. "misHaps is tested with your device’s stock lock screens. It will not work as intended with replacement lock screens"
