Persistent notification after hang up
Hello:
Sometimes, after a call, a persistent notification remains, telling that the call is finished, and the only way to close the notification is to kill the dialer app (pressing the red phone button doesn't do anything, nor pressing the notification itself):
I didn't identify why it happens sometimes and not after other calls :-/.
what app and OS version are you using? Is that a rooted device?
App version: 5.11.5 OS version: Android 10 This is a non-rooted device
Last version of sinple dialler Android 11 non rooted I can confirm, if you click on misssed call dosent erase.

In my case it's not a missed call but an answered call ;-)
That too, if someone calls you while you are in anotjer call.
You need to force close the app or more simple to activate airplane mode and then turn it off.

And it happens even with some outgoing calls. (Issue still there in version 5.13.3 of the app.)
Same problem here. App version: 5.13.3 Android 8.1.0 (no root)
Same problem, with answered calls.
App version 5.14.0 Android 11 (no root).
Still the same problem with answered calls.
App version 5.15.4 Android 11 (no root).
I also sometimes get the persistent notification: It appears after I ended the call. It does not appear every time I hang up, but it has appear on hanging up with any of these methods: Stop call
button on screen, power button and using the control on the (wired) headphones.
App version 5.15.4 Android 8 (no root)

Right. I forgot to specify the same that you mentioned: “It appears after I ended the call”.
But in my particular case it appears every single time I hang up. It's disappointing and frustrating.
some exact steps for reproducing would be good. Like are you initiating the call? Do you move the app in background during the call, or the fullscreen view is always in the foreground, maybe even with screen on? Do you end the call with the top notification or that fullscreen view?
Like are you initiating the call?
No difference.

I have the fullscreen view always in the foreground.
maybe even with screen on?
On my phone the screen locks quickly and turns off (see also next question).
Do you end the call with the top notification or that fullscreen view?

Anything else you might want to know?

All of this happens exactly the same with my phone.
The only difference between “sphh” and myself is the last question:
“Do you end the call with the top notification or that fullscreen view?”
I always end the call with the fullscreen view. The top notification button to hang up doesn't work at all in my phone.
I now ended a couple of calls not from the full-screen view, but with the help of the top notification (the full-screen view was still in front and I swiped down from the top border and then pressed the red phone symbol): Every time I did this, the call was ended and the notification disappeared. But then the notification popped up again just to disappear after ½-1 second again.
Just to add that I also experience the Call Ended notification that cannot be closed. It seems to occur more frequently with certain numbers called. But I can't detect a pattern in its occuring.

When this occurs, is the status text always "Call ended" in everyone's case? @tb06 @sebasarena @sphh @witneyman
It's usually 'Call ended' for me. But just occasionally it has shown 'Ongoing call even though the call has been ended. In either case the notification can not be cancelled
I never see the "Call ended" but always the "Ongoing call" notification (which is worrying):
Clicking on the red phone does nothing as does swiping it away: You cannot get rid of that notification.

Hello:
I made an outgoing call (to my voicemail) this evening and the issue occured when I hanged up with "Appel en cours" (French equivalent to "Ongoing call") as the message in the persistent notification. So a different situation than in my first post.
Thanks for your help!

It happens exactly the same in my case.

I still can not reproduce this issue at will but after some debugging & testing, I think I have a fix. Here are two test APKs here with the second one more likely to fix this bug:
fix 1: https://github.com/Naveen3Singh/Simple-Dialer/releases/download/notification_fixes/dialer-fdroid-debug-notif-fix-1.apk
fix 2: https://github.com/Naveen3Singh/Simple-Dialer/releases/download/notification_fixes/dialer-fdroid-debug-notif-fix-2.apk
@sebasarena
... in my particular case it appears every single time I hang up ...
In that case, if you are willing, you should be able to deterministically test out the above fixes.
Lemme know if it works or not. Thanks
Sorry but these links are not working for me Steve

The first call I tried with version 2 was successful - there was no notification after the call. I'll wait for more calls and report further

I don't like very much using the beta version of apps, because they are usually more unstable. But I'll think about installing this one, if it really works for everyone else.
Thanks again for all your hard work and for answering us so diligently!
beta version
No need to keep using them indefinitely. The APK files I shared are only for testing the fix, you can (and should) uninstall them afterward. (Once related changes are merged, the issue will be fixed in the next release on google play and fdroid)
Thanks.

Well, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining it.
I've now tested version 2 with several calls and so far the persistent notification has not been seen. Looks hopeful!
