New version out. Seems to be a nightly build that would work 'nag-free' for 60 days. v2.0.18 (117) working fine for me after a dirty update from v2.0.17 (117). You can now set the 'Call Records' folder as per your liking. Many thanks to @exisapps.
[Android Apps and Games] Shearerdk:
is there a way in setting, i can set a "default" ringtone for a google contact usergroup ?

i use dual sim. i will like a special ringtone for google caontact usergroup 1 and another ringtone for group 2 ?

i dont want to add contact manual every time i add a new person, i like it to use a automatick ringtone on a special usergorup . where can i set that ?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Yes you can. After creating group, go in the groups tab, long press the group e select the ringtone
[Android Apps and Games] Shearerdk:
thanks

is there a way to set, a user group to alway use "sim 2" when sending a sms ?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
no there isn't this option cause you don't send sms through TP. You have to check in you sms app
[Android Apps and Games] CloggieUK:
Hi, when I am in a Web browser and have a phone number on the page, I highlight the number and select the phone option which then takes me to True Phone. However, on the first attempt, I get a rotating circle and the number is not there. If I then do it a second time, the number is there and I can dial it. Very annoying as I have to keep switching back and forth. It alway used to work first time but as of around two versions back, I have this issue on two different phones. Any idea what is causing this?

(@exisapps) installed latest nightly on friday on stock 12 on N968b using Nova prime as a launcher.

Made several calls meanwhile and didn't find any new bugs (yet)?.

On previous playstore version the screen stayed black after long calls and still does.

"true phone call screen" is turned off as I somewhere read that it should be when having that black screen. On short calls it doesn't happen.

That's the only thing I don't like.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
maybe users could tag the dev (@exisapps) while giving feedback, so he could take note and do the needful.
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
Done

On samsung f23 5g, one UI 4.1, android 12,

On contact details screen, whatsapp is not shown. Nor telegram also.

Please help.

Tried with the latest nightly also, same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
Go to Contacts tab, then Settings » 'Contacts to display' and check if WhatsApp and Telegram are selected there.
[Android Apps and Games] mkp246:
Yes it's checked.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
i don't see telegram there
[Android Apps and Games] mkp246:
After I given telegram contacts permission, It's showing now.

But still contact details does not show either.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
try: settings >> restart app

Done many times . No help.

Any way to disable ads in a paid version without google?

I have a degoogled phone now. Which means the app cannot go check its license on a google server. Which means it shows an ad almost every time I want to dial a contact from the contact list. It's a frustrating experience: to pay for an app and see an ad when you just want to place a call.
[Android Apps and Games] vid200:
Hi all,

I add new contact to my phone, on the native contact app it can be seen, but True phone contacts does not show it. How can I sync contacts, anyone knows?

I tried deleting catch on all apps, even stock dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
Set TruePhone to disable its own call screen during incoming call (settings/incoming calls).

Then the default dialer will be used, included all its available functionalities.
[Android Apps and Games] rampitec:
Check "groups" tab, "contacts to display"? It is probably in a group/phone book not shown.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
Do you have Google Phone installed?
[Android Apps and Games] rampitec:
On the other hand it is easier to give up altogether. Which I finally did. So long True Dialer, it was good, but it was spoiled by the Google infrastructure. Not so convenient, not so pretty, but giving up google is a matter of changing the life, not changing an app.
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
If your phone is rooted it might work with AdAway.

On the other hand getting rid of ads works on my stock A12 using Netguard-no-root and blocking TruePhone as it doesn't need internet connection to do what I need.
[Android Apps and Games] rampitec:
AdAway is installed, but does not block these popups.

Then running a VPN just to be able to call someone is an overkill. Plus I really doubt a firewall can block a popup window. It might block its content, but not a popup itself.

Then this is a wrong angle to the problem anyway. I believe it might be possible even to hack the app to remove the ads. The point however, is that the methodology of the payments and licensing requires maintaining connection to the Google Cloud. For me this is a showstopper now.
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
that was just guessing.

Netguard-no-root uses just a virtual VPN.

Don't have any popups on my google-free devices when Netguard or AFWall are installed when using TruePhone.
[Android Apps and Games] mkp246:
Hey guys,

can anyone guide me to figure out what's wrong in my case.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
I simply use the smartphone setting for the private DNS with the value dns.adguard.com and bye bye to almost all ads...:)
[Android Apps and Games] rampitec:
Speaking of which... Both private DNS and netguard are anti features even if these were a right answer to the initial question. In case you really need to use a VPN you would find yourself in an uncomfortable position that either VPN does not work inside other VPN, or your private DNS is not accessible inside the VPN.

The right question here is not how to fool True Phone. The right question is how to use it, paid, without full GSF.

Hello,

Is there a way to successfully record calls with internal recorder ?

I tried many settings or external apps without success. Only my voice is recorded.

Phone is samsung a22 5g android 11 non rooted.

On android 9 phones it was ok (os non limited by Google)

Thanks

"Night build" 2.0.18 dated August 03

download

* Fixed a bug due to which, when calling from an external application to a number, this number was sometimes lost somewhere

* Contacts now display all their nicknames, jobs, addresses and notes (previously in list of contacts and history displayed exactly 1 entry of each type)

* Search expanded to the entire set of nicknames, jobs, addresses and notes of a contact

* Removed the 60-day limit for nightly test versions

* TP now knows how to check for updates itself, you no longer need to follow the release new test versions, releases for Google Play (version with restrictions) and releases on w3bsit3-dns.com (version without restrictions)

* Added setting Advanced, Check for updates (enabled by default)

* Something else on the little things
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
On this site I didn't find anything as it forwards me to http://iyfbodn.com/?dn=w3bsit3-dns....fbodn.com/?dn=w3bsit3-dns.com&skipskenzo=true

Thx for the download link anyway.

Is this nightly a restricted or non restricted version?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
The link for me it's ok. Anyway this is the file 👍🏼
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
you need to be logged in on 4pda to meaningfully use that link. the changelog says 'Removed the 60-day limit for nightly test versions'. ads might still be in the usual places, i suppose.

Attention: night versions are test versions and are intended for testing new functionality. When a more recent test version or release appears, the application will begin to offer to update itself every time it starts.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
did you do the update to v2?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Yes but through the update function of the app
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
That's what my first screenshot here was about.
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Great improvement
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
Thx but the download link worked anyway that's why I only quoted the URL.
[Android Apps and Games] wayne5de:
May I ask again? :whistle:
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Point 1: it's not possible.

Point 2: you can't move tabs to the bottom. But you can swipe through the tabs and you can change the order of it
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
testing it since then on my main phone with stock A12.

Have no new issues (yet?).

After a long call it still sometimes stays black.
[Android Apps and Games] wayne5de:
Yes that's clear...:D

My two questions are wishes and go to the developers...
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
I'm on xiaomi.eu and don't have these issue. Perhaps it not depends from app but the OS?
[Android Apps and Games] corporal_hades:
Video calling still only one sided here, they see me but I have no video or controls at all. Google dialer seems to have figured out how to use carrier video chat at least but hopefully this app gets that as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Lineage-fan:
Pardon me, but, why do you need a third party dialer app if you're on xiaomi.eu ?

You should have MIUI Dialer avaliable with native call recording in all xiaomi.eu ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
True phone give you many more option especially in the management of two sims. It's totally customizable (appearance and behaviour). For call recording i use since many years skvalex call recorder. I think this combo it's the best.

The only thing I miss is spam detector. But i know the developer is working on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mehmetklc97:
An
[Android Apps and Games] Lineage-fan:
Yes, it's nice that True phone works with skvalex call recorder to record the call. They work well in tandem.
[Android Apps and Games] daktary:
Hello

Does call recording works with unrooted roms?

Mine is android 11 stock rom in my samsung galaxy a22 5g and no combinations are working
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
From Android 11 onwards to be able to correctly record a call you need root.

This applies to all recording apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Lineage-fan:
Or just use a native dialer with call record. Then you won't need root:

e.g. OnePlus 10T chinese version dialer -> install same apk on OnePlus 10T india version.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
I have Android 12 EEA stock ROM unrooted on a Xiaomi MI11 Ultra and Cube ACR call recorder app works almost well (but only if not using earphones).
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
We are going off topic.

Anyway without root ACR like other similar app record from mic and not from line. this is the reason why with the headphones does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
I currently use Cube ACR with True Phone, and call recordings work satisfactorily, of course except when using earphones.

And I use the default Google phone incoming call screen (a specific True Phone setting exists for enabling this mode) and so I get Google spam call identification and blocking.
[Android Apps and Games] Lineage-fan:
What device are you using ?
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
Xiaomi MI 11 Ultra latest official stock EEA ROM.

"Night build" 2.0.18 dated August 18

* Fixed a bug with writing to the memory card (maybe you will need to reselect the folder)

* Changed the sorting of contacts (they returned special characters at the beginning of the name)

* The Send visible contacts option has been redone - now the file sends to any messengers without problems + the current contact visibility filter is applied

* Adapted to Android 13 (and, unfortunately, the Inbox Only mode will no longer be supported and will be automatically reset to TP screens when the system is updated)

* A list of changes has been added to the built-in updater, those. changes in all future updates can be viewed directly from the program in both Russian and English

* Something else on the little things
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
The changelog seems to be translation from Russian. True Phone call screens » 'Incoming calls only'?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
Yes. I don't understand russian. So i use google translate. From the next release it will be the english changelog showed during the update process.

About your question, i think yes. Probably android 13 don't support this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
@exisapps

Preliminary: all contacts on my devices are stored locally without beeing synced by any app.

Installed latest nightly 20220818 on my main phone Samsung N986b with stock A12 and Nova Prime Launcher -> all fine.

Saved settings afterwards and restored those on Samsung tablet T825 with LineageOS19.1=A12 after updating TP there as well.

Before settings restore all contacts are shown BUT afterwards none in TP but still available in Lineage Contacts.

Had to go into settings to check again "local phone" in "contacts to show" menu as it probably has been overwritten by restoring and the local name in stock firmware is different (N986b "vnd.sec.contact.phone" to T825 "Local, not synchronised"

BUT the defined groups from N986b were not transferred although favorites were.

Is that a pro feature the nightly doesn't support?
[Android Apps and Games] Ralendil:
Hello

Anyone knows here if this app could get dynamic colors (material you - android 12 and 13) ?

I love it, and have it for a very long time. I really would love to see it adapted to material you.
[Android Apps and Games] Ralendil:
That's the answer I was affraid to receive... But the one I was thinking I would get.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
Not sure if 'nightlies' can be considered as releases or updates: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-4-0-tru...act-manager-replacement.2934816/post-87300831
[Android Apps and Games] Ralendil:
That's what I did cause I wanted a material you interface. So I have removed everything that has not dynamic colors. I use now google agenda messages and dialer, have found a telegram app that use material you, a mail app, a weather app, a file manager app and a reddit app, the launcher and an icon pack... I know that's not the most important, but I really like material you.

By the way, I have finally found how to make the google dialer notify the call on the entire screen (hated the small notification).

So, I will remove this app, but will check from time to time... 2 years ago, i was thinking that true phone would never get an incoming call screen... So, let's hope...

This app don't even feature a proper material design, i doubt it.

Installed august 18 build but this bug is still there for me.
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
I made a purchase but still advertisements are shown in some places, like for instance in contacts:

Refund doesn't work - Google refuse it.

Contact with developer - no response since 3 days.

is there any developer here who can explain why the ads are still visible?
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
I'm on Android 12, rooted, using AdAway so I have no ads as well but it is annoying to see such Advertising sections like presented in my screenshot, don't you think?

Are you saying you don't have them in contacts with adguard?

And sometimes I made a purchases just as a gratitude for developers effort. Thats all.
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
Hmmm, apparently we don't understand each other.

I'm talking about section "Advertising" in contacts. Can you take a look into my screenshot above? This section is marked in red with red question mark.

Simple question: do you have it there as well?

I have set in private DNS a host dns.adguard.com but it doesn't cause the section "Advertising" in contacts is gone.
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
OK, thanks for verification.

Then I have no idea why it is there for each of my contacts.

Are you running beta version maybe?

I'm using the official one available in Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] BrimoFan123:
OK, just fixed.

Backup settings -> force stop -> clear cache, clear data -> start app again -> restore settings.

No advertising sections anymore.

Strange because I did few times clear cache and restart app before.

So apparently some glitch in the application data which required to clear data for get it rid.

Hi

Great job, very cool app!

Just have a problem with it on my Samsung A73 5G with Android 12.

It doesn't show messenger details for each contact like WhatsApp and Telegram for me. Can you check this problem pls?
[Android Apps and Games] kdorafshan01:
Hi

Call recording was disabled on my new Samsung A73 5G phone, but I can confirm that I can easily record my calls made on True Phone dialer with wide array of formats and qualities. Truly a great app 👌👍
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
Are they activated in "contacts to display" setting?
[Android Apps and Games] kdorafshan01:
Yes. All of them including Skype, WhatsApp and Telegram are activated.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Shows up on mine. Just tested by displaying ONLY Whatsapp contacts for example and they appear with the tag 'several actions available'.
[Android Apps and Games] bmwdroid:
Peculiar they don't show then.

On mine I see them all.

I'm on latest beta 8.0.2 on Samsung stock A12.

Hello is your phone rooted?

Do you hear the two callers?
[Android Apps and Games] kdorafshan01:

No. It's not rooted and I use the stock ROM.

Yes, I can easily record the complete audio and listen to both sides of the conversation in various formats and qualities.

Same issue I am facing for long on A12, Samsung galaxy f23 5g
[Android Apps and Games] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi @exisapps

I am assuming you're the developer of this great app. Just wanted to express my appreciation of thee best Dialer, Contacts, Recorder.... AIO phone management platform.

Everything about it is awesome, very well thought out, clear design, vastly customizable and handles everything perfectly. It's the only one stop solution out there. Especially as it's 'supposedly' free ??

I do have a couple of questions though...

1) It's supposedly free, no restrictions... but assume relies on in-app cost to remove nags/ads?

If one was to pay remove Ads, does it matter which package to select and is it lifetime or yearly? As I see one can pay a one off £4.99 or could pay £189.00 or summit like that for only 6x months??

2) What's the difference between Non Market Users vs Google PlayStore user?

Is there a difference in features, ads/no ads, version difference?

3) How does one keep it up to date...?

I see the PlayStore version hasn't updated since 2021. I believe I was on the latest, being 2.0.18 or summit, but its telling me its out of date and to get a newer one, and have to wait for a countdown before I can use it...

4) Call Recorder, format options, MP3

You offer a wide range of different formats, such as WAV, ARM and so on. Not sure if I saw Ogg listed or not. But would it be possible to add either the formats for Ogg and MP3 to the mix please, as these are more common.

5) In-Call volume/speaker

This is most likely an issue with my phone, the weird and whacky ways of a MIUI based phone. However after the phone goes off and rings, when I answer it, I can barely here the person through the earpiece. However it seems loud outside the phone. Hard to explain, not like its on LoudSpeaker or anything, as its not that loud. Just feels its louder outside the phone, than by the ear. Even though the speakers are the side of the ear and not the back. Its like it's being muffled in the ear.... But as said, this is most likely an issue with the phone itself, than the software...

Thanks once again for such an amazing app, keep up the great work....

Cheers, Lister

Hi, I added a number to the blacklist but the incoming call is still ringing. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] lalexi:
Hi,

great app, I use it some years already. Our company forced us to use Microsoft Intune (company portal) for mails and contacts.

Is there any way to display work profiles contacts in this app when used in private profile? Google's contact app can do that, also Samsung default dialer.

Documentation tells it should be possible:

Hi. I struggle for hours before I post my problem here...

True Phone doesn't show the Additional info (such as job and notes) in the incoming/outgoing calls screens (like the Matrix inc. underneath the phone of Mr. Anderson).

It is there but hidden.

I have to pull down the image to reveal it, and it appears over the phone.

My problem is that it doesn't automatically show it, but I need to drag downward the photo to appear, which is a bummer.

It used to worked but not now.

I reset the settings, load backups, reinstall etc. but no luck.

Is it a setting that causes that behavior and I missed it? Tried everything.

I am on Android 12/MIUI 13.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
Are you speaking about the Incoming call screen?
[Android Apps and Games] android-incredible:
I have a samsung S22 ultra and call recording does not work on my phone either.
[Android Apps and Games] LordJohn80:
Yes.

(and also the outgoing, but the incoming is thst matters).

I can see the notes in the call list, but to see the notes on the incoming call screen I have to swipe down the picture to reveal them. (which is annoying)

Is it another setting I'm missing? Used to work ok.
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
I too use MIUI 13.5 and Android 12.

Along with TP I prefer to use the Google's phone app (ROM stock phone app) but only as the incoming call screen, which announces the callers and marks spam calls.

To get this, go to TP settings, incoming calls, and disable the TP call screen.
