Is there a way to block call from numbers that are not in the contact list? How? :)
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Add the number in block list
[Android Apps and Games] The_real_hati:
I did, but on my dual sim phone with stock Android 9, the numbers (that are on the black list) will still ring though. I searched this thread buit there is no information that helps with my problems.

No prob for me. I'm using skydragon rom on OP3
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
I wish True Phone block all calls coming from unknown callers (i.e., the ones not in the contacts catalog). Otherwise, quite good app.
[Android Apps and Games] groston:
I have been using True Phone and it is a good app. One 'issue' is that True Phone manages its own contacts separately from Google contacts. To date, this has not been an problem in any way - in fact, it can be considered an advantage since I can sync with Outlook without having to share my contact list with Google...

However, there does seem to be one small problem: The Do Not Disturb functionality allows one to block all calls except from starred contacts. Starring a contact within Google contacts is a no-brainer, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that with True Phone. Can someone please share with me how to accomplish this?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mig_mig:
Maybe that's it: In Android 8.1.0 : sound > settings do not disturb > priority only > connections > [select the corresponding option]
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
You can change that.

On Android 8: settings -> sound -> do not disturb -> Allowed in priority only -> Calls -> None

(I'm sure it can be done in your Android versions, Google for it)

Inside particular contact -> menu -> ad to favorites.
[Android Apps and Games] groston:
komer - Thank you. What threw me is that one of my contacts belonged to a group called Favorites (not sure from whence it came) and when I tried creating a group for another contact (since there was no option to 'Add to group', that failed. Thanks for pointing out the side menu with 'Add to favorites'.

Dual sim from Car choose

Can you help me with this great app ? Only True Phone work perfect with my phone Sharp Aquos S3, but have a problem with my calls from car.

When I dial from car to every number, on True Phone only show dial number in dialer but not choose last used number, or default card number set for sim1 or sim2.

How to set that future ? Love that app and i don't want to change for anything else, just how to fix this to use with my car :(
[Android Apps and Games] maxip:
Apologies for re-posting but I'm hoping that my post got 'lost' in the middle of many discussions so just wasn't seen.

"Been using this for a while and really like it. However I've never been able to get Masks working in dual sim mode meaning thst I occasionally phone a work number from personal sim. I'm not going to use groups as I frequently update contacts.

Work has some 'short' codes for dialling that I can use - for example, all employees have an internal 8 digit number starting in 37. So if I create a new mask that's says if number starts in 37, use Sim 2. I created a mask but can't get it to work - I've tried 37, 37* but no joy.

Any guidance on how to get this working appreciated."

Mysterious Double phone screen.

Using Truephone/latest from playstore v1.7.8 on Android 9 MIUI ROM, it appears there are TWO call-interfaces when placing a call.

Dialing any random number and pressing the GREEN call button, opens a rather simplified FIRST dialer interface. Attached screenshot, it has the phone number on top, call duration, rest is empty space, on bottom 3 icons for SPEAKER, MIC and number pad, then below is the RED HANG UP button.

The SPEAKER button is non-functional, and after pressing the number dial (right icon), then the full/normal dial screen appears, with record call, and many other usual options (as well as a dialpad of course :)... If you don't press the number dial icon, then call continues with the simplified interface...

I'd love to get rid of this intermediary call interface, and directly go to the full-featured dial interface..

Tried to DISABLE the app com.android.incallui, however, that left this mysterious/simplified screen, and disabled the SECOND/full featured interface.

Then, to my surprise disabled the truephone app (without reboot or anything), and the fully featured android interface came right away.. on an outgoing call.

Tried many options, like 'builtin-activities' but nothing seems to help, and i get TWO calling interfaces immediately after placing a call using TruePhone.

any help appreciated.

When opening the app, is it possible to open by default to the 'Contacts' tab instead of the 'Phone' tab?

Can the app display whether the contact is from the Google contacts or from the local unsynced contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
cmiiw, but i don't think either is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
In your app drawer you will see 'Favorites', 'Contacts' and 'Phone' which are the True Phone versions (similar names for the system ones so you'll have to check which is which). Open the 'Contacts' app by default and that is the tab which will open first. Personally I open Favorites first but everyone is different.

Don't think you can display the account used but you can switch which one(s) is (are) displayed in Settings > Contacts > Contacts to display.

HTH.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:

I can confirm this behaviour on LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9). Your workaround works here, but I'd also prefer to have True Phone my default phone app.

[Android Apps and Games] ava1ar:
I have exactly same behavior on my Blackberry Key2. I was originally suspecting some issue on True Caller side, but after checking bunch of other caller apps I found out that apps simply don't have access / can't read information about the call (incoming/outgoing/missed/etc). Reason True Caller shows wrong statutes most likely due to defaults in app itself (other apps I tried simply didn't show this information).

Anyone have any idea why this can happen? True Caller has all permission provided, can make and receive calls but can't get call information (same for other apps). Don't even know how to google for this issue... :eek:

P.S. Looks like I found the reason - I have VoLTE (Voice over LTE) enabled and when it is on, True Caller doesn't have any information about the call (except the number and duration). I tried to turn it off temporarily and call information is back to normal (outgoing shown as outgoing, etc). Not sure if this is application issue, Android bug or expected behavior. Anyone have any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] stormy1777:
two simple questions, android 9, with latest truephone from playstore.

1) on incoming calls, the UI is just a small bar on top with red/green buttons to press. Othertimes it appears as a full screen that need to swipe buttons UP to answer. where is that controlled?

2) Using Redmi 7A, for some reason the vibrate on answer is not working, for outgoing calls, folks answer but phone does not vibrate. Anyway TruePhone can help?

I seem to remember there was some "Healthy feature" to vibrate and not have to hold phone near your face while waiting? or do I mix things up?

Thanks in advance.

Stormy.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
1) the UI is usually so when the screen is already ON. some custom ROMs have the option to display full screen when a call arrives.

2) some custom ROMs have the feature built-in and it works (see the first screenshot). If you plan to use the built-in feature in True Phone app, I hope you have enabled it (see the second screenshot).

Curious if anyone is using True Phone on Android 10.

I am, but it definitely isn't behaving as consistently as it did on Android 9. Having notification problems on home screen, as well as dialpad issues and other general oddities. Been using True Phone for years, and Android 10 is definitely been a challenge. Seems to be some conflicts between stock dialer...

On Pixel 2XL, pretty much stock Google image via OTA. Lots of other Android 10 problems as well!!

Hello,

is there any possibility to show the callers picture or callers number (of incoming calls) on the black screen when the phone is off?

As long as I had the stockdialer of Google installed any incomming call popped on. Now I have deactivated the stockdialer and set "True Phone" as the standard dialer and incoming calls only ring and vibrate, but no picture or number is to be seen on the screen now.

Tell me a possibility to see who tries to call me...

Waiting for an answer.

There is a setting "caller ID". Turn that on. (Keep in mind that you have to give the permission "allow display over other apps" to True phone app.)

the setting "Caller ID" is already turned "on", "allow display over other apps" is even set for True Phone.

I am also experiencing the missed call notification. Whenever I set True phone as the phone app, I do not get any missed call notifications. This does not happen with other dialer apps.

I have Android 10. I upgraded recently from Android 9. It did not happen with the older version, but I am not sure it started happening immediately after the update.

[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION], here's a small wishlist for newer versions:

this is purely personal, but i hope you'll consider. :D

- ability to customise the layout of the dialpad (see sample screenshot)

- ability to customise the font (& its size) of the dialpad (use system font instead of theme font)

- ability to move the 3-dot menu to the left

- remove the thick green line on the dialpad (doesn't serve any purpose, imho)

- separators on each key of the dialpad as in the sample screenshot

- last row buttons as in the sample screenshot

- call count next to contact name

- sms icon to be moved slightly to the right (excess space on the right)

sample screenshot:

the 4 built-in themes:

True Phone is a great dialer; my favorite so far!

What I'd like to see however is the Groups view always show all available groups regardless of what is selected in "Contacts to Display". I feel that "Contacts to Display" is critical for filtering the People view but I do need access to lesser-used groups occasionally. Because the Groups view is already organized I don't see the need to filter this list further.

Keep up the good work!

-can swipe left to call, swipe right to SMS in recent calls and contact.

-i freeze stock dialer phone by titanbackup, it says: "True Phone is crashed".

-how can i replace default stock Contact with True Phone contacts, have True Phone separate Contacts icon?

-can True Phone clear Missed calls notification of stock dialler as ExDialer?

Sorry for my bad english.

Thank you verymuch!
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Actually, SIM card is linked to phone number, not contact. What icon should we display in Contacts, if contact contains two different numbers, one linked to SIM1 and another to SIM2?

I'm not sure about two SIM dial icons in the phone tab too. You could select desired SIM by holding CALL button or by holding any item in recent log.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
I guess we will introduce some search improvements in the nearest future.

No, it will be conflict between swipes on items and swipes on the app tabs.

You should never try to do this. True Phone is just a dialer, not a phone. There are 3 different apps in Android, which are responsible for entire phone functionality. First, dialer, helps you to navigate between your contacts and enter dialing number. Second, phone, is responsible to connectivity during a call. And third, in-call UI, displays in-call screen during a call.

True Phone replaces dialer, which also contains Contacts. I guess you could freeze contacts, if you have separate app which manages them It depends on your soft.

And yes, you could create direct shortcut to Contacts in True Phone settings. Just go into settings, select Create shortcut and select Contacts. This should add Contacts icon on your home screen.

Sure, but unlike ExDialer True Phone provides several different ways for dismissing missed calls notification. Check out settings, behavior, missed calls notification options.

Field "Notes" is an odd field and does not sync to google.

[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION]

There has been an extremely annoying problem with the Contacts field "Notes".

It took me two years to notice this.

I used to write client info in their relative contact card inside the "Notes" field, but it always disappeared when I changed phones and has put me in very bad situations business-wise.

I did some digging with another phone, syncing and editing back and forth from my old phone with Notes showing inside True Phone, with a new phone using the Google Contacts app.

And it turned out, that the field "Notes" inside the contact card in True Phone is just a custom field named "Notes". And is IGNORED when syncing contacts and people details.

When I use the Note field from Google Contacts app, it syncs perfectly into my google account. But when I write anything into the Notes field inside True Phone, it stays visible inside the phone itself, but DOES NOT sync to google account.

Please fix this issue and give the field "Notes" its natural label instead of enforcing it as a custom label in True Phone.

For developer:

For some reason, this problem happens with my current/old contacts.

When I make a new contact with TF and write something in NOTES it syncs perfectly to google into the natural NOTES field.

All contacts displayed and edited are from my GOOGLE account, not phone.

.

Please find a solution for this. I'm a very old and paid user.

This is taken from the Google Contacts app.
