Fyi:

Recently I realized that my Samsung Note20 ultra with latest Stock A13 doesn't recognise TruePhone hbdialer-122-2.0.22-prodpub any longer.

When looking at standard phone apps it's not shown although it's working fine and I always use it for calling.

"remove permissions...." is greyed out.

On the other hand on my Samsung S8Ultra tablet on A14 same version is installed and selectable as standard app.

Edit 2024 03 24: deleting cache didn't help.

Uninstalled and reinstalled hbdialer-122-2.0.22-prodpub and now it's selectable as standard as it was when on 117.

Contacts are sorted to specific groups as before as well.

I have exact the same problem. It's impossible to talk with the phone on your shoulder. The screen turns on when you turn the phone vertically, and therefore all buttons are available for pushing.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
I'm missing something here. On a call a phone automatically uses the proximity sensor to figure out if the phone is close to your ear. If not then the screen turns on and is therefore susceptible to touch.... 🤨 Why not use a bluetooth ear piece if you can't take calls in usch a way as to keep the screen off? Or try the aspp in this article ... https://www.groovypost.com/howto/keep-the-screen-on-during-a-call-on-android/ ....
[Android Apps and Games] hertell:
I can't run constantly around with an earpiece in my ear. That is simply not possible. If i get a call, i pick it up, and if i need to use my computer at the same time, i lay the phone on my shoulder, and press it up against my ear. At this point the phone rotates from being vertically aligned against my ear, to lay horizintally between my shoulder and ear. At this time the screen lits up, and my problem begins. In other words, i want the screen to be shut off so that i can't push any buttons with my cheek. During my call I usually do not need to watch my screen. If i want to do that, then i could simply push a button.

Hello to everyone,

I'm also a long time user of True Phone, and in my opinion it's THE best dialer out there! So I'm keeping it no matter what!

But I have a slight problem now after switching to Xiaomi Note 13 Pro Plus.

Every time when I'm doing something on the phone (checking WhatsApp messages, browsing internet etc..) AND receiving incoming call, system shows an error "Something is wrong with True phone, switching to the main dialer"! (or something like that)

True Phone crashes, of course, and call is transferred to native Android dialer!

When I am making a call, on the other hand, everything is, and works, perfectly fine! No crashes and problems of any kind!

I'm using mentioned mobile phone with MIUI 14.0.5 on Android 13.

There's no other dialer app besides native dialer and True Phone, of course.

True Phone is 2.0.22-gp rev 122, Ad free version.

I tried to reinstall app but same thing occurs.

Does anybody having such problem?

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance!!

Sincerely

Hrvoje

I have been using True Phone since long time on my rooted OnePlus 7T. Now I switched over to OnePlus12 which is going to be unrooted. Is there any way to have call recording without announcement message? I tried the various options in the app but it always makes an announcement that call is being recorded.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
You might like to try this method:

, then choose System App for call recording. Search this thread for more.

I'm using this dialer in xiaomi 14 ultra, the only issue is that, If I make the incoming call screen black, the dialer also turns black, is there a way to keep the incoming call screen black and the Dialer theme white ??

Hi

Is there a way to add a feature which had been available on Samsung and Xiaomi devices.

Let's say i want to call my friend John.

John is subscribed to call waiting.

John is already is on an active call with his wife.

When i call John, the line will ring since he has activated call waiting feature.

When i had my note 10, and when i call John, the Samsung will show a toast notification saying "call is waiting" , like the attached photo.

I'm currently using a pixel fold and i miss this feature.

Is there a way to add this to this dialer please

Hello everyone, my name is Tim and I'm new here.

I have a question: is the "True Phone Dialer & Contacts" application still considered safe? It's hard to get coherent information from the Internet because the name of the app gives you a lot of different threads that claim different things.

This is exactly the application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.dialer.free

I really like the application, but I have concerns about security... Any opinions/advice?
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
What "concerns" about what "security"?
[Android Apps and Games] Nidzo80:
The latest version does not work well on Honor 50. When someone calls me there is no way to answer because the dialer is not shown. Only ringtone. You can't even end call. You have to wait that caller ends. Then I can see who called. I had to install v2.0.21. which works well.
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
Phone security. Doesn't the application underneath pose any risk? Lots of apps with bad intentions. Excessive data collection from your phone. There was a reason why it disappeared from Google.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Explain what you mean by "phone security"? As for disappearing from Google search back through the thread and all will be explained .....
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
Backdoor malware sometimes hides under the normal applications that provide specific functions, it all depends on the creators and what their purpose is.

I understand that someone may not care about the security of their device and install everything without thinking and do not control network traffic.

There are various risks... from data theft, through file encryption, to botnets.

I don't know the author of this application, I don't know how reliable he is. The mere fact of being from Russia, of course, should not automatically rule someone out, but pressure from the Russian secret services on the author of such an application as a vector of attack and propagation is quite possible.

The payment methods do not inspire much confidence either.

Except google. Yes, it can be explained by the geopolitical situation, but the fact that there is not even PayPal seems a bit strange.

Someone will say, don't use it if you're so afraid... it's not a way to live. The application is really very good, which drives its popularity, and this again potentially opens up a risk vector for the application to do something more than what is officially planned.

The exchange of information can only prevent and show if there is a problem. There have been various applications available on Google for a long time that did what they were supposed to do and at the same time silently did bad things.

https://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/3f80e58fcb4069f0b0cedf76ad8b191bf7eb8e3139433f0f135c93348f97abc7/65d24d6e86d11c0d270c8b97
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Not just a toast notification, there was also a 'call waiting' brief tone with the ringing, to let you know the other party is on a call "in case you had the phone next to your ear".

Would love to see something like this.
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Had True Phone installed for several years over several phones and Android versions. Seem nothing to indicate it's anything other than a genuine app. as for 'payment methods', search the thread for more information and reasons .....
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
I don't know him either, except through this thread. I'm one of the early users of this app and have been on this thread soon after it was created on November 10, 2014. This remains the go-to dialer on many devices including those of friends and family and no one has had any issues with it till now.
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
I am glad that the opinions are positive. :)

On a different note...

This thread mentioned a few times about the apk version that was supposed to have no ads, did I understand that correctly? Does such a version exist? It would seem that probably not because it would be a pirated version?

I have this application installed, the Google version and the address provided in this thread. Both have a normal advertising module.

I am blocking the application from accessing the Internet, as a result of which the ad content is not currently displayed, only information about loading ads is displayed. At least for now.

It's a bit ugly, but if for some reason you don't plan to pay for the ad-free version and you don't want to see actual ads...
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
Maybe there will be a kind soul who would share the code? :)
[Android Apps and Games] ggogolewski:
This happens if you have the True Phone call screen turned off. I have the same problem. You can't use True Phone by using it as a simple dialer, but you want to receive calls via the stock phone app.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
Discussion and distribution of 'piracy' is frowned upon on XDA.

After 7 days of use from the moment of installation,

advertisements may appear in the settings and contact card

. The application will automatically prompt you to disable it. Disabling advertising is optional. The functionality of the program is not reduced.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
On my OnePlus 11 (not rooted), I use True Phone as Dialer and Contact Manager, but I've chosen to use the interface (screens) of the stock dialer (system app). This is so I can still have proper 2-way call recording. Of course I can't enjoy the full potential of True Phone app, which is something I miss from my 'rooted' days.
[Android Apps and Games] Nidzo80:
That is only in the version 2.0.22 so it might be a bug. I use 2.0.21 and it is painful when I accidentally update to the latest version from Play Store and must downgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
Is it just me or did the app have the function of turning off the screen during a conversation by reacting to the proximity sensor?

I can't find it anywhere in the options... and unfortunately I have a tendency that when I talk with my ear/cheek on the phone, I can initiate the top Android menu, which is terribly irritating.

The phone, of course, has a sensor and the sensor is functional and works in other applications.

Hmm...
[Android Apps and Games] N1ka:
On my phone the screen turns off - the proxi sensor is working while using True Phone...
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Likwise.
[Android Apps and Games] N1ka:
Is there a way to back up the order of favorites - when I change the phone and restore settings from previous one - the favorites are listed alphabetically, not in the order I rearranged them...?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
+1 to this request. If anyone knows a way, please share.
[Android Apps and Games] Tim2024:
And for me, like magic, it doesn't want to work... I thought maybe I should mark it in the options. Probably some incompatibility with the phone. eh :(

@exisapps

Hi is there any work solution with the problem.

With Android Auto ? When I have connected my phone with the Android Auto and receive a phone call , nothing is displayed in the Phones Screen and I can not answer or hang up the call from the phone

if it stays connected to the car even from meters away I can't answer calls, the phone rings in the car.

What should I do? Am I the only one having this problem?

Any suggestions are welcome

True Phone is new to me, i wish I had found it much sooner.

I have a OnePlus 12 non-rooted and i'm attempting to get the app to record phone calls, both sides of conversation.

I d/l from this forum, hbdialer-122-2..0.22-prodpub.apk and installed after uninstalling the google play version.

In attempting to turn on Accessibility setting for the app I get the pop-up Restricted Setting For your security this setting us currently unavailable.

Is this googles way of telling me i can't assign Accessibility to a side-loaded app? Or have I missed something else along the way. This forum has gotten VERY LARGE and I scanned as many pages as my eyes could take but couldn't find anything about this. Can someone take pity on an old tech that has lost his edge?

Great app!

But I have one problem: when I have my phone connected in the car via BlueTooth, the incoming call screen does not appear.

Even the phone doesn't show that a call is in progress. So I can't end it if I have navigation displayed, for example.

That's probably a bug, right?

This was a completely free app until recently.

Why?
[Android Apps and Games] Adrianer:
For some reason the proximity sensor does not block the screen, so when calling my ear hits all the buttons randomly... With older versions there was a setting in the app for the proximity sensor - but in the latest one I cannot find any. Ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] Nidzo80:
I reported this bug few months ago but nobody care. This happens on my Honor 50. No Android auto, no Bluetooth device just regular call. Ringtone plays but no dialer shows. All i can do is wait for caller to hang and see who called me in missed calls notifications. I installed version from last year because I can't get used to default phone app.

Hi,

I have such a problem that if I turn off the True Phone incoming call screen, the factory call screen does not activate. (Poco X3 Pro, EU Rom)

I tried on a Redmi Note 13 5G (factory Global ROM) , and there the same error exists.

I tried it on a Samsung phone, but there the factory call screen was activated!

What could be the problem?

I wrote to the developer several times, but they are not able to respond...

[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
It won't be a True Phone restriction, it's a Google (for legal reasons depending on what country you are in) and phone restriction. You have to change the csc of your phone to one that allows call recording. I have an S24 Ultra (in the UK) and have done this so I can record calls. Read this thread .... https://xdaforums.com/t/s24-ultra-call-recording-possibility-of-changing-csc.4652079/ ...

For context my original csc is EUX, I changed it to ILO with the SamFW software. Good - I can record both sides of the call. Not so good - I need to change back to EUX to get phone updates - but that only takes a couple of minutes. Oh, and for reasons of explanation read this as a primer .... https://techyoulike.com/what-is-csc-on-my-android-phone/ ....

[Android Apps and Games] kalagas:

[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
As far as I know with all the recent Android restrictions. Rooting allows you extra flexibility obviously but if you don't want to root then changing csc is the way to go. On other thing. Changing csc and using the TP call screens means that you need to choose to record each call. Using the native call screen and you can auto-record all calls.
[Android Apps and Games] nadeemakhtar1994:
Since few months sometimes all contracts vanish completely and after restarting phone the contacts are back. Please update and fix
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Pretty certain that TP is not responsible for storing contacts. I'd look at your Google contacts sync (if that's what you use) or whatever sync contacts method you do use.

I have an inquiry.

I can block phone numbers in the list of recent calls.

But when I look at the list of calls, I can not see, if a number is blocked or unblocked.

I would love to see an icon next to the blocked number, maybe a strikethrough red circle.

Thank you.

Indeed I agree on the "grey-coloured down arrow".

But I also see calls with red arrows going down and up from right to left. The numbers of these calls can be either blocked or unblocked and I cannot make a distinction in this view.

Is the dialer the place for a more advanced call block system? Or will some other call block work within this dialer?

When i had the standard Japanese Docomo ROM on my phone it had a great call blocker which i missed. Black list, white list and in between.

Instead of disabling some calls, i set it to only allow calls in a particular lost. Very simple and effective. Id love to see that kind of feature in TrueDialer :)

[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
How come the blacklisting is so efficient with this app? I tested out with a few phones and there's no hint of anyone calling me and the caller isn't even sent to the voice mail. I've tried several other - including xposed - apps to do this and it seems to me like most of them would vibrate/call for a split second before blocking the call.

Really a great app, wouldn't mind paying for it at all but I really hope some visual options for especially the dialpad style are gonna be available at one point.

Got a little bug report, I think. When photos are disabled, there's this whitespace where the photos are usually located. I dont remember it being like this in earlier versions?:

And perhaps the text in the searchbox needs to be adjusted abit but maybe that's nitpicking :)

EDIT: Oh and how about the function to blacklist all callers with hidden ID? and perhaps also clear these blacklisted calls from the call history. Just a thought :)
