Battery saver restrictions

Case 1) Android 6 and above → Call log prompts won't appear if the device has battery-saver ON and if Freshsales is optimised for battery usage when the app is minimized or killed

Case 2) Additionally for Android 9 and above → If Freshsales is restricted for background battery usage (setting named 'Background restriction'), call log prompts won't appear when the app is minimized or killed

For both cases, the user has to disable battery optimization for Freshsales. To do so, Freshsales has an in-app setting 'Battery optimization'. 

  1. In your mobile app, Tap on the icon on the home screen

  2. Go to Settings > Call preferences > 'Battery optimization'

  3. Redirects to a battery optimization system screen which lists all the applications which are not optimised.

  4. Select 'All apps', go to Freshsales and disable battery optimization.

    


 

Note: For some phones, the battery optimization screen with the list of all apps will have toggles. Turn OFF battery optimization for Freshsales. 

Autostart permission 

Enable the "Auto-start" setting to receive call logs when the app is killed from the recent apps (or) when the app was closed by a consecutive double back press from Freshsales home-screen. Here’s how you can do the same

  1. In your mobile app, tap on the icon on the home screen

  2. Go to Settings > Call preferences > 'Enable autostart permission'

  3. Redirects to a autostart system screen shown below with all the installed applications

  4. Turn on the setting for Freshsales

Note: Freshsales has an in-app setting only for these well-known third-party OEMs which require the autostart permission → Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Honor, Letv

Android 10 devices (all manufacturers)

"Display over other apps" permission is required for Android 10 devices to bring up call logs. Without this permission, even if the app has all the other usual permissions (telephone and call log), call log cannot be launched. 

The primary setting for Automatic call logs on Android 10 will not be ON until this permission is granted.
