Telviva Mobile

Car Kits

To make a new call using Telviva mobile:
  1. Car kits act in various ways. Telviva Mobile is compatible with Bluetooth and wired services, but there are some limitations.
  2. If you had synced your contacts with the car, the additional contacts(Google, Telviva Shared, etc) won’t display on the car screen, since only names stored natively on the device are synced.

Outgoing calls will be made using the device's SIM card unless it is set (Android only) to always make calls using Telviva Mobile


Truecaller

There are known issues with Truecaller presenting the wrong name to the user. Telviva Mobile passes the correct name into CallManager. If Truecaller is enabled as your dialler, that notification goes to Truecaller. It seems to ignore the name we pass and does a lookup of some sort in their own database with a sloppy match.



So the short extension codes match arbitrary other Truecaller users.


We discovered that if you go into the Truecaller app and tap the “i” button next to the call, there is a little pencil by the name and you can correct it.


Having done that, it will show the corrected name.


You can also go to Settings > Apps&Notifications > Truecaller and turn off “Phone app”. However, when incoming calls came in, Truecaller still overlays a caller ID display, but without any name.


Our advice is to disable Truecaller in order to have a better experience with Telviva Mobile.



Android 10 Considerations


Android 10 requires additional permissions to wake up from doze when receiving incoming calls. Below is a video that runs through the permissions required for Android 10 to function correctly.
