Hi, guys, bad news again...

Seems like Google has entered an endless cycle with it's app review policy.

Yesterday Google approved that violation was removed and returned True Phone to Google Play.

Today Google removed it once again and send us completely the same email, telling us that True Phone violates this

https://play.google.com/about/monetization-ads/ads/#!?zippy_activeEl=interfering#interfering

Considering that we have no overlay ads, no full-screen ads and no popup ads it seems to be ridiculous.

So we filled out an appeal form and sent it to Google.

Sorry for that, but it seems to be not our fault this time.
[Android Apps and Games] DeltaOrionis:
I just installed the app 12 hours ago and I love it since first use. But I can't rate on Google playstore and it's the reason...
[Android Apps and Games] vponomarev:
Glad I found this thread. Was wondering why True Phone disappeared from Google Play. Been using it for years.

Hope you'll resolve the issue with Google soon!

Since the May 13 update, call recording doesn't work when built into the miui dialer! It has worked so far! Maybe an idea how it could work? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DeltaOrionis:
Halo.

I really love this app. ? thanks so much for devs..

The only reason why I installed this is the grid view I saw on one of screenshots on google playstore. However, I found out it only meant for favourite contacts. I wish there was grid view also for all contacts, that would be awesome to see my contacts beautifully arranged with photos.

In addition, I can't search my contact using phonetic names. I use three different scripts for naming contacts depending on their native languages. It would be easier to find a contact using its phonetic name so I dont need to change my keyboard language, and also sorted phonetically.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Stock with True Phone 2.0.3 rev 102 Ad-Free

After a recent upgrade I no longer get the incoming call dialog on my lock screen.

I haven't changed any settings and double checked permissions for overlay on lockscreen. Can't find what's causing it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Been using it for 4 years, works perfectly. However, recently, after update, T9 search did not work properly anymore. Smplify diacritics function seems to be missing out certain words in my language, like typing "ngoc" cannot find out contact name "Ngọc", "hanh" cannot give out result "Hạnh", "trung" cannot show "trụng"... Please kindly fix it!
[Android Apps and Games] shaft77:
Hi,

All three permissions were already on as I expected. Issue persists. Don't see incoming calls/dialer until I unlock the phone.

I never changed settings between the app versions. Could it be a compatibility issue with MIUI?

Turning off True Phone Call Screen is a workaround but I'd prefer True Phone screens for incoming and ongoing calls.

Other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Silvarro:
Google removed the app from the Play Store! I couldn't find it there anymore and all links to the app in the play store give me an 'item not found' error. What is going on?! I can't see how this app violates any rules set by Google so I guess the algorithm screwed up and removed it by mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] akilleas:
A few posts earlier the dev explains why the app is removed once more from Play Store and you can find links to download the apk from other sources.

Any change log please?
[Android Apps and Games] jenaplisken:
from russian forum traslated by google:

* It is allowed to create contacts without a name - only with a place of work, position or nickname

* The behavior of the dialog for entering and editing a contact name is changed, including the full name is now expanded in the full name or IOF depending on the selected display format of contact names

* Added the ability to turn off tab headers when the top navigation bar is turned off, see settings, appearance, tabs

* Added processing of SIP numbers (for example, nnnnn@sip.ru) when making calls, now they are correctly displayed both in history and on call screens Onkov

* Fixed minor errors.

Yeah I already found those and that post confirmed my hunch: Google is being freaking retarded!

No, we only use certified Ad-Networks.

True Phone has been passed all checks once again and is available on Google Play already.

It's completely the same situation as it was for the 1st ban from Google a week ago, and I hope this is the end of the "accidental-true-phone-ban-story" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Silvarro:
I noticed :) Hopefully it won't happen again. This app has gotten so good now I won't ever change my dialer app again. I thought the app was abandoned but one day I checked again and I saw it was updated after a year of no updates and I fell in love with the new incoming call and ongoing call screen. But speaking of which: Is it a nice idea to have themes/styles for ongoing call screens as well? I mean, you have those for the incoming call screen so I thought having those for the in-call screen as well.

[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION]

Recently changed phone from OnePlus 3 to Huawei P30 Pro. Used dual SIM with both phone and it seems that in P30 Pro Truephone couldn't detect in call list which SIM card was used. I always use SIM 1 for calling btw and it is set both in the phone settings and TP. Dual SIM card enabled in TP.

When I call someone it shows correctly which SIM card is actually using but not in the call list.

I assume it is because of volte and vowifi. On OnePlus 3 couldn't use neither of them but on P30 Pro using it on both SIM card.

The factory dialer still shows correctly the used SIM card in the call list.

Attaching screenshot about this. The call list was imported from Op3 that's why the TP call list show used SIM card in call list till I used OP3.

[Android Apps and Games] Phone_Guru:
Great app! I love the customisability, especially the Asus call screen option. Adding a new contact is too complicated. There shouldn't be one dialog for the name, one for the number and then a contact card window to confirm again which isn't needed anyway because if you don't press on the tick it's saved anyway.

When the notification is on top, swiping up will silence it too as well as swiping bottom when the notification is at bottom.

Contacts not working correctly on Redmi Note 8 Pro

Hi. I have created 3 groups within contacts but only want to display 1 of them depending on which country I’m in. I select only one group in settings , but all contacts are still displayed. If I go to the contacts tab and select A group, then only that group is displayed, but this resets back to displaying all contacts if I close True Phone and then reopen it. Is this a problem interfacing with MIUI? The feature works perfectly on a Oneplus 7, same version of the program..

[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Hi.

Do you think you would consider adding new design for the small pop up incoming and ongoing call window, as I proposed earlier?

And also to allow 3rd party app shortcuts on the full screen call window? Also maybe it could be nice to allow to customise colour of the activated icons on the full screen call window (like speaker button etc)

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] mageor:
Dear sir or madam,

Congratulations on your fabulous app. It is irreplaceable...

I have some feature requests about the call recording function...

1. Is it possible for call recording folder to be customizable?

2. Could you add a list of all the recordings?

3. Could you add encryption in the future?

4. Cloud save?

One problem/bug, i hear only my voice (Samsung Galaxy S20+) in the recorded files.... I reinstalled and checked all the rights....no luck...

About tha app in general

1. What about a total black theme preset? (I know i can do it my self in custom)

2. In your call screen, I cannot enable Bluetooth, it is greyed out. (Galaxy S20 plus). If I already have it enabled it then it connects.....In default dialer screen, this can be done....

Thank you in advance...

[Android Apps and Games] Netskyliner:
Call menu on notification bar was easier

The problem is with this menu (screenshots)

You need to expend notification bar the press down arrow to have the buttons displayed and buttons are text not symbols.

In the last year version buttons to turn loudspeaker or to end call were displayed directly when expanding notification bar and were symbols so it was much easier. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Soapm:
I've been using this app for a while because it was a basic phone dialer which is all I want. Of late it has gotten to complicated and messy for my taste.

Can there be an option to NOT have any picture on an incoming call? I don't put peoples pictures in my phone so find that a waste.

Can there be an option to NOT have a photo on the ongoing call screen? See above?

Can there be an option to NOT have any avatar?

Also, when I'm searching for a contact, the contact notes and everything appear on the screen. Can that be turned off where I can see more of the contacts I'm searching for? I'm not sure when that started but that's irritating.

I don't know what version pictures and all this became mandatory but I believe that's why I switched from the stock phone dialer because I just wanted to use the phone not see peoples pictures etc... I seem to remember this being able to be set as just a basic phone app and not this fancy app it has become.

Edited to add... I've had this app set the way I like it for years, the last update seems to have wiped out all my settings and restoring my backup (from 2018) doesn't get me back to the way I had it. What's up with that?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
try these:

settings » contacts » photo style » no photos

settings » contacts » avatars » (pick from gallery) custom image. use a blank pic here

settings » contacts » additional contact info. remove whatever/everything

settings » behaviour » search » also search in. remove whatever/everything

don't think backup from v1.x.x would get restored on v2.x.x.
[Android Apps and Games] Soapm:
Thanks, that helped though I don't think this setting fixes what all comes up when you search

settings » contacts » additional contact info. remove whatever/everything

I hate to say it, but I found and restored version 1.7.8 and now I feel like I got my phone app back. My heart rates has slowed and the stress has left my body. I restored my back up and everything is just like I like it...

Thanks for the great APP...

Feature request:

Context menu includes a VERY useful item - Create Appointment.

However it always chooses my Samsung calendar.

Can it be made so that I can choose other calendar app? I use Informant, which is much more potent and I need this action to be implemented with it.

Informant is set as default, but this seems to have no effect and True Phone always takes me to Samsung calendar.

I tried freezing Samsung calendar. Then the action takes me to Informant, as I want, but none of the fields in the newly opened Informant appointment are pre-filled.

Do I need to ask you for trying to make this functionality work or should I ask Informant devs for it?

Finally I was able to to solve this problem! As I mentioned in the quoted post I exported the call history and True Phone settings also on my other phone (OnePlus 3 with stock, rooted newest 9.0.6 ROM) and I imported them on my new Phone (Huawei P30 Pro).

Tried to clear True Phone's app data but that wasn't enough. After I cleared my call history entirely AND cleared again True Phone's app data.

Well this was the solution and True Phone is now able to show me in call history which SIM card was used!

Just mentioned it if somebody will facing same issue!

BTW: Is there an option somewhere to disable or set to NOT showing the marked column in call history? Can't find it.
