I’ve been using Fossify Phone since Simple Phone went south, but it’s been such an inconsistent experience.

Calls will come in, and the notification panel will disappear, so I can’t actually take the call.

Then while I’m on a call, the UI that allows me to control the call will go away, so I can’t hang up, mute, etc… basically has it navigating the call list again. Trying to click on the dial pad button during a call brings me to a list of contacts.

Stock dialers have always been flawless, but I really don’t want to use spyware.

I don’t need any fancy features, but it needs to be reliable.

Any suggestions?

    I haven’t played with third party dialers since gingerbread was new.

    But, have you disabled any power saving features both from the manufacturer and the OS?

    I wonder if something like LineageOS would be suitable for you?

      Yes, and all permissions have been granted. I think it’s just buggy as another person posted about similar issues.

      I used LineageOS many years ago, but my current phone isn’t well supported by any third-party ROM, and I’m not really interested in changing up the OS until at least after the warranty period is up.
