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 use fossify phone too and that happens whenever I hit the home button during a call. The phone app doesn’t show up in the notification bar nor in the task list. Pretty annoying. I’ve tried some alternatives but from what I can tell they come with their own, even more glaring issues.

      Argh, that’s frustrating to hear. Thanks for the info, though!
