Dialer for vivo and iQOO Phones on Funtouch OS and OriginOS

A dialer for vivo phones has to clear one vivo-specific hurdle: the battery list that decides which apps may keep running in the background. The Auto Dialer needs to be on it.

Dialer for vivo sales teams

The Auto Dialer lets a vivo or iQOO handset work a lead list like a desk phone with a CRM attached: it becomes the default phone app, places each call from the SIM you choose, and puts a remark and a follow-up time against the lead the moment the call ends. vivo's battery manager is the part to plan for. vivo's own FAQ, read on 4 October 2026, says that from Funtouch OS 3.0 onward the control sits in Settings › Battery › High background power usage, where you enable or block apps that work in the background even when they draw a lot of power. On the oldest builds, Funtouch OS 2.6 and earlier, the related autostart list lived in a separate i Manager app. Some vivo and iQOO models run OriginOS instead, with similar controls under different names. The exact wording varies by version, so use the search box in Settings when a name below does not match.

Dialer for vivo as the default phone app

  1. Open Settings and type "default" in the search box.
  2. Open Default apps (on most builds it sits under Apps).
  3. Select the phone entry, then The Auto Dialer.
  4. Accept the confirmation. On some vivo models the preinstalled calling app is Google's, on others vivo's own; both are replaced the same way.

The guided setup inside The Auto Dialer requests the phone role on first launch, so this menu is mostly for checking. What the role controls, and how to hand it back, is covered in the guide to changing the default dialer.

Dialer for vivo: high background power consumption

High background power consumption is vivo's allow-list for apps that may keep running when they are not on screen. Turn it on for The Auto Dialer, then check the related controls:

Dialer for vivo at an admissions desk

This is an illustration with round numbers, not a customer's result.

An admissions counsellor at a college in Lahore uses a vivo Y-series phone and has about 80 parent enquiries in the weeks before term. She sets callbacks for after office hours, when parents are home. The first evening, none of the 9 pm reminders ring: the phone had stopped The Auto Dialer in the background. After she enables it under high background power consumption and locks it in recents, the alarms ring on time and each one shows the parent's last question. Counselling teams can find a fuller workflow in the CRM guide for education and wording ideas in the admissions telecalling script.

Dialer for vivo limits

vivo phones, like every phone, carry one SIM call at a time, so The Auto Dialer suits callers who talk to each lead themselves, not a centre dialing many lines at once. Allowing high background power use does cost some battery; a power bank is cheaper than a missed callback. Numbers that ring out unanswered can be retried with automatic redial rules rather than by hand. When another brand is involved, the brand-by-brand Android dialer guides cover it. Teams with mixed handsets can check the dialer for Xiaomi, the dialer for Samsung and the dialer for realme settings, since each brand names its battery controls differently.

Dialer for vivo FAQ

11 questions, answered

Which dialer for vivo phones rings follow-up reminders on time?

The Auto Dialer, once it is allowed high background power consumption and autostart. Each follow-up then rings like an alarm at the booked minute, even with the screen locked or after the vivo reboots, and shows the lead’s last remark.

Is The Auto Dialer a dialer for vivo and iQOO phones?

Yes. On vivo and iQOO handsets running Funtouch OS or OriginOS, The Auto Dialer holds the default phone role and dials your lead list through the SIM in the phone, logging each call to the lead record as it goes.

What does high background power consumption mean on vivo?

It is a vivo battery permission. Apps on the allowed list may keep working in the background even when they use a lot of power; apps left off it can be stopped. A dialer that must ring reminders belongs on the allowed list.

How to change Google dialer in vivo?

Some vivo phones come with Google’s Phone app as the dialer. Open Settings, search for Default apps, tap the phone entry and pick the app you want. Google’s app stays on the phone, so you can switch back the same way.

Do iQOO phones need the same settings?

Yes. iQOO is a vivo brand and its phones use vivo software, so the default app, autostart and background power settings are found in the same places. Menu names can differ slightly between models and versions.

What is background power consumption management on vivo?

It is the name some newer vivo builds give to the same control as High background power consumption: the list deciding which apps may keep working off screen. Look under Settings, Battery and allow the dialer. If neither name appears, type “background power” into the Settings search box.

How to lock apps in recents on a vivo phone?

Open the recent apps view, then swipe the dialer’s card down or open its menu and tap the lock icon. A locked card stays put when you clear everything, which helps callers who tidy the screen between calls. The exact gesture differs between Funtouch OS and OriginOS versions.

Where is autostart on vivo?

On newer Funtouch OS builds it sits under Settings, More settings, Applications, Autostart. Phones on Funtouch OS 2.6 and earlier kept it inside the separate i Manager app, under App manager and Autostart manager. Allow the dialer in whichever list your phone shows so it returns after a restart.

Is vivo i Manager still needed to set up a dialer?

On current phones, mostly not. vivo’s FAQ places the background power control under Settings, Battery from Funtouch OS 3.0, and newer builds keep autostart in Settings too. If an older handset still carries i Manager, open its Autostart manager as well and allow the dialer there.

Does OriginOS need different dialer settings from Funtouch OS?

The same three permissions matter on both: the default phone app, autostart and background power use. OriginOS names and places some menus differently, and this page’s paths come from Funtouch OS sources, so on an OriginOS phone search Settings for “default”, “autostart” and “background power”.

Why does my vivo stop the dialer between calls?

vivo’s battery manager can stop apps that draw power in the background unless they are on its allowed list, and a dialer waiting for the next call looks like one. Enable it under High background power consumption, set its battery option to not optimised, and lock its card in recents.
