Please improve stabilty of Emerald Dialer! Can't answer calls.

Open 4tip opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

When I use “Emerald Dialer” I’m able to call contacts but when some one calls me, I just hear the ringtone but there is no screen to answer the call! I only see my homescreen with apps, but nowhere to tap or drag to answer. I guess that “Emerald Dialer” should actually show some kind of screen with a swipe or tap to answer ability like with the preinstalled “Google Phone” app. Could you check if someone is able to fix this? There is also one more problem, that only apperce sometimes. Sometimes when I open “Emerald Dialer” a message apperce saying that the app has crashed. After the latest update for “Emerald Dialer” it has been happening less often, witch is good, but it still happens sometimes. But the worst problem is not being able to answer calls. I’m using “Emerald Dialer” as phone app, “Open Contacts” as Contact App and “Silence” as sms app, instead of the preinstalled Google spyware apps with premissions for everyting from exact GPS-position, to use cameras, modify all settings and see all wi-fi and network connections.

So I would appriciate if someone gets “Emerald Dialer” stable. I’ve also written about “Silence” that has no stable release but seems to be working anyway. They need updates!

The combination of “Emerald Dialer”, “Open Contacts” and “Silence” as standard-apps for phone, contacts and messages are the most privacy friendly alternetives available through “F-Droid”. And I would recommend them to anyone if someone gets “Emerald Dialer” fully working.

Emerald Dialier is just a dialer, not a phone app. Your "phone" app is what makes and receives calls. Make sure that you install and enable a phone app as well as Emerald Dialer on your device.
