[APP][4.0+]AGContacts – dialer for Android with Dual SIM support...

[Alan_SP]

Used opportunity to purchase full app, but still have two main problems with app:

1) Always using full screen, on incoming calls, even when device is active. In that case, I don't see anything in that case. I need not to use that option, then I see small screen with options and I can answer.

If I use that option, I only see music (i.e. alarm sound for that contact, or incoming calls). To answer, I must swipe down to get app options and there I can answer calls.

2) Missed Call Notifications -> Counter of missed calls - I don't see any counter, but I expected to see how many missed calls there where, like in standard phone apps. Tried both with History and Application Icon, none worked for me.

Also, not sure what I use, I use icon that looks as a phone in lower "constant" part, as I use your app as main phone app. I'd like to see there counter of missed calls when I switch to app.

It is all for Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T, latest MIUI at the moment (11.0.2), with Android 9, all up to date.

Not sure what is going on, but had same problems with MIUI 10 (also Android 9.

One thing I noticed, when I upgraded to latest version from previous, as I like to answer with swiping, not pressing buttons (Screen lock on incoming call->Circle with gestures), before I saw possible options, now only when I lower my finger. I guess that was intentional choice, but maybe one option, if we want to see options before laying our finger down (which I would prefer), or we need to lay finger down to see options.

Otherwise, very satisfied with app, but it is a bit confusing and need a long time to find options I want (took me some time to get missed calls in different color, to easily differentiate them from other calls). Anyway, good job.

EDIT: Solved both problems, everything works now mentioned before. Thing was in allowing notifications in MIUI and allowing app to work in full screen mode, what is note that easy to find in MIUI. On other OS versions it may be much simpler

Only problem I have now is that I want notification about missed calls on lock screen and app widget in notification's bar, but I can only set it up that I always see app notification also on lock screen if I want it in notification's bar. So, I go without app widget. Having missed calls on lock screen is more important.

Maybe it can be sorted through some settings, but not sure which and how, from app, from MIUI, who knows.

@agcforum was last seen Apr 17, 2020, so it seems this thread is not monitored anymore by any of you from the AGContacts team? I need to file a bug/regression report, so I guess I need to write to [email protected]

Thank you! In version 13.03.25.31086 there are minor changes to improve adding unknown number reviews for native phone number reviews service.

In principle, the program has an update mechanism from its own server, through which all versions are available (stable, alpha and beta versions):

1. Enable option:
"Settings" -> "About program" -> "Enable alpha and beta updates"

2. Check updates:
"Settings" -> "About program" -> "Check for updates"
