Permissions Issues

If a permission is missing, some parts of Auto Call Scheduler cannot work correctly.

Check App Permissions​

  1. Open Android Settings.
  2. Open Apps.
  3. Select Auto Call Scheduler.
  4. Open Permissions.

Permission Reference​

PermissionWhat It AffectsWhere To Allow It
PhoneScheduled calls cannot be placedApp permissions
ContactsContact picker is unavailableApp permissions
NotificationsReminder notifications and alerts may not appearApp notifications
Exact alarmsSchedules may trigger late or not at allSpecial app access
Display over other appsCall screens and caller widget may not appear over other screensSpecial app access

You can still type phone numbers manually if contacts permission is not allowed.

Permission Was Denied​

If you denied a permission:

  1. Reopen the app and try the action again.
  2. If Android does not show the permission dialog, allow it from Android settings.

Permission Is Grayed Out​

Some permissions are under Special app access instead of the normal permissions screen.

Look for:

  • Alarms and reminders
  • Display over other apps
  • Battery optimization

Battery Optimization​

Battery optimization is not a normal permission, but it can stop scheduled calls.

Set Auto Call Scheduler to Unrestricted or Don't optimize in Android battery settings.

See Calls Not Triggering if schedules still do not run.
