I used to have this issue, but I haven't faced this now in a long time. FYI, I am using True Phone nightly (23.09.2023) on Android 13 OxygenOS 13.1.
[Android Apps and Games] dvjoshi:
I'm using true phone on Samsung F54 I can record calls, but there is no 2 way recording of calls only One way recording is done, any solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Aleš Šál:
For me, it also records only one side. I guess it's a limitation of google. I have android 13 and a Motorola moto G73 5G phone

It is an excellent application, I bought it so I could continue recording important calls and since then it has become essential to me

Has anyone else experienced random crashes with this app ?

Also, some times I am not able to open it.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Yes, just allow all the permitions.
[Android Apps and Games] sdeft:
all the permissions the apps needs are there.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Ok i know the permission to draw above other apps is kind of admin.

Try to disable call recording if its on.
[Android Apps and Games] CostaGian:
perché l'applicazione è stata eliminata dal Play Store? anche su oneplus 2t la registrazione delle chiamate non funziona, riusciremo a registrare un giorno?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
Install True Phone using SAI app. Enable 'Call Recording' in Call Recording Settings. Choose 'System App' as the Recording App. Grant 'Accessibility Permissions' when prompted. Try recording a call - after doing the above if your device is not rooted. If rooted, use the Magisk Module from the OP. 2-way Call Recording works fine for me on a non-rooted OnePlus 11 device.
[Android Apps and Games] CostaGian:
why was the application deleted from the Play Store? Even on OnePlus 2T call recording doesn't work, will we be able to record one day?
[Android Apps and Games] CostaGian:
But have you Android 10? Because i can't select system app, it says that must be Android 10 and i have Android 13

OnePlus 11 was launched with Android 13. I never had 'issues' with True Phone Call Recording on any version of Android OS as fas as I can remember, Been using this app for a very long time now.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
Since the application has been 'deleted from the Play Store', the chances are slim, AFAIK. An earlier post here says 'current payment methods are Russia only'.

Thanks. I'll wait and hope app will be back in PS soon.

If your device has a working 'custom recovery' that flashes packages without the manufacturer's signature and your system is not in EROFS format....

Before you start with the following procedure (being reproduced here from another forum), it is recommended to save the True Phone settings and make a full nandroid backup in TWRP.

Spoiler content hidden.

While in TWRP, flash the Installer HbDialer_TWRP_nonroot_Installer.zip (attached)

If you see the line “System mountpoint not found” in the installation log, most likely you have a non-standard path to the system for OS 9+. Check the Firmware topic for your device or see for yourself the correct path.

Unpack the installer

Boot into TWRP

In TWRP in the Mount menu > mount System

Via the Advanced menu > File Manager copy (i) the

HbDialer folder with the apk

file along the path /your_path_to_system/priv-app and (ii) the

config file

privapp-permissions-com.hb.dialer.free.xml file along the path /your_path_to_system/etc/permissions.

Set permissions for files there in File Manager 0644.

If this does not work and you wanna undo the 'damage', flash the Uninstaller HbDialer_Uninstaller.zip (attached) or restore your nandroid backup.

When editing a phone number for a new contact a cursor is jumping to the end or beginning of the number. It is completely random.

It is visible at 00:28 and later.
[Android Apps and Games] sdeft:
Call recording was already off. Seems the problem is not related to True phone as I tried Google dialer as well and it freezes as well at random. I will blame the Samsung A53 for now!!!
[Android Apps and Games] tomiasx22:
Except for my last suggestion:

- Possibility to hide blocked contacts from history (i.e. marketing)

I would also add another one:

- After selecting phone number from example webpage (or other, any source) and choosing from menu "call to" (using Truephone app) - then very often Truephone dialer menu opens with blank space >> then I have to once again make same procedure (starting from select the number) >> only then Truephone dialer menu opens with the number I selected...

Thank you in advance. 😊

hello,

I'm facing issue with blurred and low resolution (google) contact images

after setting up a new device and

installing true phone in it,

the issue has happened on 2 devices already,

is there any solution for it?
[Android Apps and Games] NC503:
Hi @m0han and @exisapps thank you for your hard work and good news.

Can you add colorize the recents according to the call status?

If the incoming call didn't answered, the incoming call number and name seems red.

And may be for the rejected calls it can be used orange.

Edit:

By the way, why we can't use incoming call notification when set "only incoming call screen" from truephone call screens menu. It would be better when we can use.

Thanks

Hello,

I have the following problem.

Every time I talk on the phone for a while and take the phone away from my ear, the display stays dark so I can't press end. I have a oneplus 10 with android 14. It was the same with android 13.

Is there a solution for this?

It is happening to me as well but not with every call. I would say in 10% of calls. Both incoming and those I make.

Do you have an explanation or a solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
Nope.

I used to live with that and I doubt it can be a root cause found as it is happening "randomly" and not so often so I think developers would not be interested to dig into that.

I have been a user of this app for around ten years, and would not want to use anything else.

however, I have to upgraded next year BUT i couldn't find this app on Google Play!

is this app no longer available on Google Play?

If i get a new phone how will i be ablt to upload it again?

I don't want to lose this app, it's by a country mile best phone app going.....

Will it be available on Google Play again sometime?

thx in advance for any replies

when i tried to click & install the apk it says:

"Do you want to update this app?"

then

""App not installed as package appears to be invalid"

[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
If I understand your concern correctly that you don't know how to install True Phone application on your new device while this application is not available in Play Store then you could save it as app file on your currently used phone and then copy to your new phone. Just long press True Phone's icon and then run the action Save APK:
[Android Apps and Games] Nicholas_rico:
I did this, but it doesn't happen
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
What exactly did not happened?

Did you save the APK file and this APK file can not be installed on new phone giving to you an error or you don't know where saved file is located or you don't know how to copy this file to new phone or you don't have the action "Save APK" or what?

2. why there is no in-built mechanism in the application to receive new version

As far as I'm aware application is removed from Play Store when it doesn't meet Google requirements for security so we need to have an answer for these questions especially that some of us (including me) have bought this application.

Pasting a new version here in the xda thread looks like a very unprofessional and suspicious practice.

Hi folks

I've installed the 2.0.17, extracted from my old phone, it does install properly, I grant all the permission bit the app won't open.

No matter what, even setting it as default.

I'm in Adroid 14 now, and I have another phone on Android 14 with this exact app working properly.

Any advice?

[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
Did you try the original (not extracted) version and what about a newer one?
[Android Apps and Games] elm0nch:
I've tried 3 different apks, none of them was working.

But I found the solution, looks like in Android 14 you have to grant special permissions to grant accessibility to certain app, and it happens True Caller was one of those apps.

Once I granted it the app works perfectly fine.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] elm0nch:
I'm in trouble again

The issue is that when I install it, it won't open. I go to special settings to give it accessibility, go to accessibility, and grant permissions. This makes the app work for 20-30 minutes, but then it stops working and won't open, although the permission grant is still active. I have to remove the accessibility permissions and then give them back for it to work again, but after 20-30 minutes, the same thing happens.

Do you know how could I solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] hertell:
I have tested this app now for a while, and i definitively would like to buy it when it will be again available in the play store. There is though one big issue that will prevent me from buying it, and i'm currently looking for alternatives

I want that disable the proximity sensor for this app. This makes it almos impossible to use while using the phone, and holding it on my shoulder. The problem is as following. When on a call, and holding the phone vertically to the ear the screen stays off. If i hold the phone on my shoulder (it's laying horizontally) having eg a customer on the line, and at the same time working on my computer the screen lits up, and responds to my cheek pressing the screen. This results in that my customer ends up in being placed on hold, or i accidentally start calling an other person while the first person is on hold or I even hang up the call!! 😡

IF the above glitch will be fixed, this app is definitively currenlty the best dialer for me
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Read this link for how to disable the proximity sensor ... https://www.lifewire.com/turn-off-android-phone-sensors-5524799 ... though that's probably not exactly what you want. I couldn't find a setting in True Phone to do this. Though the way I'd do it, and actually do do it this way, is to use BlueTooth headphones/ear buds/BT speaker/something like that, that means I don't have to hold my phone at all whilst talking so all hands are free and no 'shoulder' dials... !

[Android Apps and Games] hertell:
I know i can disable the phones sensors, but that's not my point. I assume that the dialer notices movement of the phone, and turns on the screen. Other apps don't do this.

Using BT headphones/buds is of course one option, but having those plugged in the whole day is a bit pointless. I used some dialers before, and these had a switch to turn off the sensors if they where using them. Unfortunately these dialers are not maintained anymore :-(

Hello!

Help me solve the problem...

I installed the application on another phone (before that it worked on all phones without problems). Now I often miss calls! I don’t see that they are calling (the phone doesn’t respond at all!). And after that there is no sign that the call was missed! The label does not appear on the application icon!

I started to figure it out... Luckily there is another smartphone nearby and I can compare...

It turns out that in the “applications” section of the phone, when you select the desired application (in this case it) and go to the “notifications” section, the new phone does not display the option to edit the label on the icon at all. Another phone has this option - in the Settings -> Applications -> Applications -> All applications -> True Phone -> Notifications section (at the bottom of the page).

The new one also has the ability to enable/disable labels on application icons, but not for truephone.

Can you tell me what to do? Why is there no sound? Why is there no tag? And what can be done?

And also, where can I download the new version of true phone? Otherwise, the program is only available on AppGallery, but there is clearly an old version there..

Thanks in advance🙏

*********************

Здравствуйте!

Помогите решить проблему...

Установила приложение на другой телефон (до этого на всех телефонах работало без проблем). Теперь часто пропускаю звонки! Не вижу, что звонят (телефон никак не реагирует!). И после этого нет никакой отметки о том, что был пропущен звонок! На иконке приложения не появляется метка!

Стала разбираться... Благо рядом другой смартфон и могу сравнить...

Оказывается, в разделе «приложения» в телефоне, когда выбираешь нужное приложение (в данном случае это) и переходишь в раздел «уведомления», на новом телефоне вообще не отображается возможность отредактировать метку на значке. В другом телефоне есть такая возможность - в разделе Настройки -> Приложения -> Приложения -> Все приложения -> True Phone -> Уведомления (внизу стр).

В новом тоже есть возможность включать/отключать метки на значках приложений, но не для truephone.

Может подскажите что делать? Почему звук не идет? Почему метки нет? И что можно сделать?

И еще, где можно скачать новую версию true phone? А то прога только на AppGallery есть, но там явно старая версия..

Заранее спасибо🙏

I've used True Phone for many years and paid for the pro version. I tried to pay for it on my husband's phone last night and it kept coming up not found, which brought me here to find out how to pay. I hope they get the Play Store straightened out, it's by far the best phone I've used and definitely the most customizable. But I've found there is an update which I'll sideload to our phones in the meantime.

[Android Apps and Games] Triblade:
I really hope so, this is the best dialer ever IMO.

I have this one since a year of three or something. First a month with the unpaid version and then the paid version because it's just very well done.

It is about time for a new phone so I really hope this is going to get on GP again. I know there are other ways, but still. I just hope the current 'situation' isn't the thing blocking it, which it very well could be.

Aren't there alternative stores from which this can be downloaded, updated or bought from?

Like F-Droid!
