Great, now everything is perfect (in TP)! :good: But I have almost all Google contacts duplicated into the stock Contacts app! Sincerely I do not know if it's connected to the latest TP upgrades, I am almost sure that the last time I have checked there the contacts were fine... I do have restored TP backup once after the first 1.5.0 release to have back the previous 1.4.x, could it have broken something?

It seems that the stock app is doubling the contacts when they are both in the default group "My contacts" and one of my own groups. Usually I just select "everything" as contacts to be shown both in TP and in the stock app.

BTW: in TP the entries are not doubled!

I know that I could delete the local data and then force an accounts re-sync... but that will also trigger a "contact optimisation" asking me to join some or, worst, automatically join contacts that should not be joined... I would prefer to not delete local database... :)

Anyone else has seen doubled contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] jwgallardo:
I agree with adding all phone labels. I use "pager" for certain nextel phones that have different dialing here in Mexico. So I populate "pager" in all my address book and I would need to change one by one if I want to use this app. I also need the relationship field with all labels included. I need them to be searchable too. This two options are deal breaker at the moment for me but I was playing with the app and I love it. Hopefully you can add them soon.

There is something else I'm missing. I'm coming from Samsung TW to Motorola clean android. In Samsung TW dialer we have the field address divided by: Street, Po Box, Neighborhood, City, State, Zip Code and Country. It is the same than going into google contacts. All my addresses are populated that way. It would be terrific if you can add that specifically when adding a new contact. Once populated that way, it doesn't matter if you see it all together. The work around right now is to use the app "Contact Editor Pro" where I can see all google fields and labels when entering a new contact.

I hope you can consider all of the above. It would be the best dialer no question about it. In the mean time Pixel Phone is the alternative but without your clean and powerful interface.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Don't understand why? I use Outlook on my PC and use it's contacts as my "master" database, sync'ing to my phone as necessary (not via the 'cloud' but a local sync. This does however, populate the Google calendar storage which True Phone reads). An Outlook contact has many 'phone' number options, one of which is 'Pager'. I use a 'test contact' with all fields in Outlook populated and 'Pager' shows up in True Phone. Also, if you go to 'add' a number in Truer Phone you have the option of adding a 'custom' number description, which could be 'pager'.

What have I missed?
[Android Apps and Games] jwgallardo:
Yes, I can see the pager listed in my contacts, the issue is when I'm adding a new contact. There is no option to add the pager field of a new contact. The same applies for relationship. I'm a doctor and I use referred by, friend, spouse, child, etc from the relationship field and I even click that relationship and Samsung TW dialer go to the referred contact. In this case, I cannot even see a relationship using True Phone like I can see pager. My other issue is when adding the address field, all is put together within the street field and see that way in google contacts or when synced to thunderbird via a google addon but in this case I have a workaround. Does this make sense?
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
I 'add' a new contact name. The option then comes up to add a phone number. There is a little arrow on the right which gives options like Mobile, Work, etc. The last option is 'Custom'. Choose this and you have the option of adding a 'custom field' such as 'Pager'. Does this not do what you want?

Not sure about the other issues.
[Android Apps and Games] jwgallardo:
I tried what you mentioned. I added "Pager" in the custom field but the result was that there is a blank original Pager field and an extra field with a name "Pager" with the number added. I think that way it will create a mess, but it is an option. The lack of relationship fields is my main concern followed by this pager issue and the breakdown of the address field. See attached picture.
[Android Apps and Games] t123321:
When i add a contact with contacts editor pro i can fill all fields like address, city, state, zip.

This way my gps app (igo) understands the address.

If i add a contact with TP, or edit a contact added with contacts editor pro, igo cant get the address
[Android Apps and Games] LioRiX:
Hi guys, is there anything I can do in order to make it my deafult dialer/contact app?
[Android Apps and Games] t123321:
In my phone i just froze with titanium backup the stock contact manager
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
No! You SHOULD NOT try to get rid of your system dialer. It's actually required to make and receive calls!
[Android Apps and Games] LioRiX:
If so, why would anyone get this app, if it can't replace the stock one? BTW I use Nexus 6 chroma 6.0 rooted.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bnjmnalan:
This is a really great app! The one thing I need is a field in the Contact view indicating what Account/s the contact belongs to.
[Android Apps and Games] salex111:
Good application. Free, many possibilities. Dualsim.

Do not remove stock dialer, it is required for normal work.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
For better options. You have to understand that user apps never will have the same system level access that built in apps do. So you can't remove them all or somethings will not work
[Android Apps and Games] GCalzo:
I agree, +1 ! :good:

A quickest way (than tapping the name) to see that would be nice!
[Android Apps and Games] s1.ranjan:
Request for few features

Please include following features

1. Please include call login in Google Calendar for all the events i.e., incoming outgoing missed call, call rejected and blocked calls

2. Please add statistics tab for all calls events for unknown numbers or contacts with overall statistics for all calls as it's available in dw contacts.

I hope to listen you soon on this
[Android Apps and Games] bjorne900:
Thanks for a great dialer and contacts app, the best I've found so far. The only thing I wish for is ability to sort the order of groups.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Here too!
[Android Apps and Games] EHZ_Labs:
I love your app.

I've been searching for this kind of app for a long time.

But I think it should support for Facebook contacts

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Thanks!

Unfortunately, impossible. Google changed internal android contact provider since 4.2 and now facebook contacts are hidden. They could be visible only for system apps :(

Great, added into TODO list.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
It does support any contacts, but facebook is unavailable on system level, contacts may be visible to system apps only =(
[Android Apps and Games] Marshy919:
Pm if your ever interested.

I did, didn't really do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
We've fixed it, will be available in one week in the next release! Thanks for support!
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
So, how does it work? Problems, suggestions, etc. please?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
but, can we select a sim-card to make a call with - sim1 or sim2?

i think some dialers have buttons for sim1, sim2 (and maybe also video call).
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Not know, we'll add this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Update released. FIxed all reported bugs, new bugs crafted for sure :) Also added call confirmation and call with skype features.

Feedback is always welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Really nice dialer! Instead of it saying "Call" on the dialpad, would it be possible to have a phone icon instead?

[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Sorry guys, in the latest release there are some very annoying bugs. I will fix them all in several hours.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:

[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
You mean that loading people takes long time? Or you experience lags when switching to People? Anyway, please switch to People, tap menu, enter settings and send us debug report via "Contact us" option at the bottom of screen.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Thanks for the report, I'll have a look on it.
[Android Apps and Games] BitSpice:
Cool looking dialer. Will download when I get home.
[Android Apps and Games] xanthrax:
Great update, I can't find any bugs atm

I'm an aosp lover but this dialer is jut great

Btw, I like CALL, instead the icon

Sent from my Darkside of 1+1
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
So, since there are no more critical bugs, we start working on dynamic theme construction. It will be possible to simply select several base colors to completely change the appearance. Like HD widgets. What you think?
[Android Apps and Games] LorDestinY:
Thanks for the fast fix....

Happy new year.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Likewise! :D
[Android Apps and Games] dmcleod:
Unfortunately extreme expensive now ... Especially compared to other apps on th market with the same functionality

Very good dialer but too expensive and no transparent abo model ...
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Is there a way to set it up so that it starts up in Contacts tab, rather than in Phone tab?
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
In your app drawer you'll find a 'Contacts' icon, probably more than 1. One is the TruePhone contacts icon. Drag that to your home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Why do you think so?

We have $5.99 for TP in comparison with $3.99 for exDialer or PixelPhone.

TP works faster

TP is more convinient

TP can edit and optimize your contacts

TP can import/export contacts preserving HD photos

TP can work with Dual SIM suggesting features which are unique

TP has in-built theme manager

And so on...

Also, TP is free! You have no reason to buy it if you do not want to. Ads will not appear on the main screen.

Btw, did you see any ads yet?)
[Android Apps and Games] t123321:
You have various amounts. What do we buy with each amount? For example 8.99 buys more from 5.99? I havent see any ads yet, but where they will be? It is true u have the best app but 6 euros is a little expensive for me anyway
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Ads will start to appear after 7 days after update.

Any purchase remove ads.

You decide how it worth, if you want to remove them.

It's simple.

I'm sorry for confusing you, and I already fired an update with more detailed explanation on Google Play.

It is already available.

If you do not want to support me right now, just dismiss Ad-free notification on the main screen and forget about it ^)
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Had it not be a subscription I would have paid for it but with apps ever changing the subscription pay model normally doesn't work out well.
[Android Apps and Games] pedrovay2003:
I believe the subscription thing is only if you pay the lowest amount, and $5.99 and up is an actual app purchase.
[Android Apps and Games] GCalzo:
Honestly me too I do not like subscriptions models and 6€ are probably a bit expensive... but I really do not know the market-life in Google so I just accept any decision you took!!
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
May I ask to get an answer by the developer if this feature is planned or not? If not, I don't have to wait anymore and will deinstall the app. Because then, the dialer is not better than the stock dialer, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I compare to other 8.99 apps. I don't get the value when approached from that angle. Subscription for a phone dialer? $5 is fair but this is just my opinion. I've purchased countless apps and donated just for support. How I justify a DIALER app as 1 of my top 5 expensive app? I can't.

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

And I will admit, it is certainly the nicest dialer app out there, again, just my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] salex111:
This dialer has alternatives:

aContacts+++, Pixel Phone, DW Contacts and Phone.

Stock dialer is not bad choice.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I own 3 (obviously including stock) of those apps. Paid. I like to change it up sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Yeah I just relooked and you are right. Still too expensive for an app that would bearly get used. (almost no one makes phone calls anymore lol) I stick to my ad free version. I just wont update is all.
[Android Apps and Games] avd:
Too much whining here. If you can't afford it or think there isn't value, move along and wait for a sale or price to come down. Or just live with ads.

And imho, not upgrading if a weasel move.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I agree but to be honest the ads are kinda pointless. Just about every single rom here comes prebuilt with a built in adblocker. So most will never see the ads to begin with.

As for not upgrading. You would be amazed at how often that happens. Just look at quickpic as an example. The dev sold the app to a company that is hated (cheetah mobile) which they added ads to it. 75% of their users just grabbed the last apk before it was sold, resigned it (so playstore wouldnt hound for an update) and run that. Snap chat users that use the xposed module never update the app.
[Android Apps and Games] avd:
One thing is to not update for technical reasons or because some corporation is pushing it, it's a completely another thing to keep using development or beta software to circumvent the developers business model.

I can't stand paid version of apps that are in progress, but now I understand why it's done.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
As I said. With all the ad blockers that everyone uses the business model doesnt work.

I am the kinda of guy that if its not broke then dont fix it. I dont update apps for many reasons. As long as it works then there is no reason to update now is there.

Welcome to android man. All apps are always in progress. Always updating and always expanding. This is the nature of the beast.

I do not know the rest of the world, but in Brazil has become expensive. I recommended this application, now no more. And I do not understand how to remove adds. I had just done my review 5 stars in the store. Unfortunately I had to change my review. Saddened, going back to ExDialer after trial period.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
You're right, just lowered the price for Brazil as well as for the rest of the world ^)

Please paid your attention on the fact, that nobody see that ads yet..
[Android Apps and Games] bollland:
extend functionality of true phone?

This is going to the developer(s)...

Did you ever consider to extend your "product" and include SMS/MMS handling. So far "True Phone" is my favorite dailer/contact handler, having SMS/MMS handling with reliable DUAL SIM functionality included would be absolutely perfect...
[Android Apps and Games] Ban Dan:
Maybe better as a separate application? Or a plugin/add-on?
[Android Apps and Games] nothingman1976:
I'm also interested with this feature. Any plan to add sim selection based on groups ?

I have a stranger problem.

Some applications do not "see" contacts.

It happens that sometimes the contacts are disappeared but in applications not Samsung.

For example WhatsApp, True Phone (I use to replace the dialer Samsung), Super Backup.

To resolve this issue, simply do a reboot of the device.

I do not understand whether it is a problem caused by the ROM or True Phone, but I would not take it off for doing verification.

thanks for the feedback

happy new 2016
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Yes, we did. It will be available as a separate app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ban Dan:
Thank you for adding color to the icons of Contacts with names starting with non alphabetic characters (digits, punctuation,... ).

Could you be so kind and also put that first character on the icon, in place of the uniform head drawing, like you do for names starting with letters?

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Two more requests, please:

- could you please include outgoing USSD calls (*xxx#) in the Call Log?

Makes it easy to remember and to redial.

- can Search of Contacts also search inside Custom Labels of phone numbers?

Many Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jwgallardo:
To developer too....

I really love this app. I'm moving from Samsung (with very good TW dialer) to Motorola and stock dialer really sucks. Now, I want to ask if you plan to support the relationship field (Assistant, brother, child, father, friend, manager, mother, partner, referred by, relative, sister, spouse, etc). I use this fields to relate my patients for reference. Even with TW dialer I can select the relationship field and take me to the referred contact. I would also love the expanded address field with street, neighborhood, city, zip code, etc. Many map programs doesn't work that well without that breakdown. I hope you consider those changes and many others find them useful too. Happy new year to everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] Walhalla:
I am also highly interested in an group based SIM selection like meiser and nothingman1976. It would make the management much more convenient by having one group for work and one for private contacts. Any news or eta for this?
[Android Apps and Games] m_zet:
Hi exisapps.

Any chance for new features like:

- call recording during call conversation,

- redial 10 times when busy?

Best regards!

Your app is trully the best dialer ever!!
[Android Apps and Games] nov01:
How about the call screen /caller/ ?
[Android Apps and Games] kotey:
no tl;dr version :p

hi. thx for the greatest dialer, ever :)

i have some minor glitches aka small probs.

i see that xda version is still 2016-5 which i consider bug-free (for me at least), but im using playstore version 2016-6. so this report reflects the 2016-6 version.

one (bug?)

all these time it bypasses the stock dialer prompt to choose which sim to call. few days ago, i used the blacklist function (tp's, not stock's) and then i removed the blacklist. now when i make calls the stock dialer prompt always pop up instead of tp's. uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. default config and imported config behaves the same. i even cleared the stock's data to no avail.

two (not sure why)

my initial reaction for the price is, its bit too pricey so maybe later. after the latest update (from playstore), to my surprise i got an ad-free version before i even tried to buy. so i never know what are the lowered prices, that i dont have the buy button anymore.

im on jb4.3 rooted and have luckypather (lp) installed, which i thought might cause the problem, so i updated tp from playstore on my cousin's phone, kk4.4 unrooted. to my surprise its the same free 'ad-free version'.

then after few days i saw a 'buy banner' so i clicked it and saw that the price are still the same. accidentally i dismissed it and its gone for good. for a few days. now i have a blank ads space with no option to buy and it says 'ad-free version'. i tried uninstalling lp and rebooted, but same result: i have 'free ad-free' version with no option to buy but funny thing it got ads space (which i heard is still not activated yet)

three (suggestions)

a. i used to use exdialer but i like tp more. but the bent arrows are hard to see if used with photos or worse if used with the gmail-like placeholder (compared to exdialer's straight arrows which are clearer). and the red missed call icon dont need an asterisk (but this time around i prefer tp's normal text vs exd's red text which is hard to read)

b. the date/time format has no year entry. i kept my call logs since beginning of time so this concerns me. a customisable string option is a better option, because of the yy or yyyy, ddmmyyyy or mmddyyyy variants, etc.

c. i used samsung before and liked its gestures (swipe right to call and swipe left to text) so i configured tp the same. obviously the sms icon to the right in call log window just make the look extra crowded, and cant be turned off.

d. can the colour settings include opaque/transparency option? that way i hope to make tp look as cool as exdialer transparent/crystal theme.

i actually have more issues and suggestions but i think this might do for now. anyway as i said they're all minor and still get the 5 stars playstore rating it deserved.
[Android Apps and Games] GCalzo:
Yes, me too I've seen that prices (from Italy) are still the same.

Now the ads are shown, may I suggest to avoid the full screen one? That are really hateful... :(
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Well, for me, the blacklist function is not as efficient as described in the quote because blacklisted calls are forwarded to the voicemail... It's not ideal, but I can leave with it.

What I would really love as call blocking feature, is to be able to block partial phone numbers... i.e. Any phone numbers starting with pre-defined digits, as I notice that many spam calls are coming from the same number with the last 4 or 5 digits randomly changing.

Could you please add this feature ? As I don't thing this is currently possible with your app.

Keep the good work

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I've just noticed a very problematic issue with your call blocking feature : if you manually add one number from one contact who has several phone numbers, all his numbers are being considered blacklisted, not only the one number I need to be blocked.

I also notice that a number entered manually can't be edited... Which means that if you did a typo when entering the number, you have to delete it and type it again manually.

I've been testing your app for the whole day, and just only realised I can't answer the phone with it...

If I freeze the stock phone app ( google), I have now way to answer the phone even if I launch true app. If I don't freeze the stock app, I can only answer the phone with the stock app, I'm not offered the choice of which app to offer the phone with... very strange.

Making phone calls from your app works ok.

I'm using a N6P with MM6.0 rooted

[EDIT] I found yout answer on post #260

Your app is not a truly phone app replacement... it can't pick-up incoming calls... too bad ! It would be great to be able to get rid of the stock phone app and have only one phone app installed....

I hope you will consider this in future releases...
