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?

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

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

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

    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.
