Question about “DIGITS” & “Scam Shield” iPhone apps functionality
iOS shows the setting for "Background App Refresh" for this app, why should I leave this on for each of these apps and what specifically does each app use this functionality for? I'm guessing they use this for maintaining the active login sessions? (since notifications would likely be pushed via APN)
DIGITS App Logs Out Too Frequently
I have the DIGITS app installed on my Windows desktop machine. For a couple months it was letting me go a week or more between log-ins. This week I'm finding it has automatically logged the app out within hours or a day at most. In the past couple days, I've missed EXTREMELY important phone calls and texts that have left one of my kids STRANDED away from home. I RELY on this app to work as advertised -- to deliver text messages and phone calls that might be important.This is the type of app that should just stay logged in for the entire day if not forever since there is no predictability of when a text will be received. (Also, the FEEDBACK link in the DIGITS app and on the DIGITS web page has never worked. Does T-Mobile not want our feedback?!?)
Google Digits Importing Contacts Missing Records
I am trying to use the Google Digits app on my laptop. I registered my phone number and tried a few test text messages, and everything seemed fine. Then, I imported all of my Google Contacts into the Google Digits app. However, it is missing many records. I have 249 records in my Google Contacts, and only 152 in my Digits Contacts. I looked at all the missing records in my Google Contacts, and I don't see anything distinguishing them from the records that were imported successfully. I tried deletingthem all and logging out, and starting over, several times. It is the same result every time. Maybe a bug in Google Digits? Is this a new app? It seems like it. It is VERY slow to load even text messages. Please let me know what you think. Gracias.Persistent crackling when using Digits
When I use the Digits client from my MacBook Pro there is a very persistent crackling sound heard by the people I call. This happens from both the app and the web client and regardless of what microphone input I use. I've never had this issue with Google Voice or other apps which carry audio. ¿Tienes alguna idea?What's the point of having Tmobile Digits if I have to have my phone to access it?
This seems ridiculous to me, for a while I had T-Mobile Digits installed on my work computer incase I forgot my phone at home, I would still have access to my phone and texts virtually. Now with the new "Let's confirm it's you" security feature, I need my phone to log in to the Digits app... which completely defeats the purpose of the app. There's no way to disable that security feature from what the rep on the customer service line tells me. So why does T-Mobile even offer Digits as a feature if Ican't use it unless I have my phone in my hand? Seems kind of dumb.
T-Mobile Digits issues that should be fixed
There needs to be a suggestion box function integrated to the desktop app so that users can alert T-Mobile to the issues. Does not always sync actual texts. Sometimes I text from the phone and it doesn't appear in the desktop app and vice versa. It would be nice if apple iMessage and digits could work at the same time. (iMessage needs to be turned off for digits to work) Syncing contacts is unreliable. Most contacts sync, but not all. Then you can't see who is texting in the desktop app. On the calls piece, there needs to be a way to send the incoming call to voicemail in case you can't pick up the phone when someone calls. Now, you only have the option of waiting for the phone to ring four times and hearing the ring tone blast through the speakers while you wait for call to go to voice mail. The app gets sluggish at times. There needs to be a way to block spam texts Texts that come in from non-phone numbers never show up on the desktop app SOMEONE FROM TMOBILE TECH SUPPORT AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO ACTUALLY READ THESE SUGGESTIONS AND ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUES. THE APP IS 5 PLUS YEARS OLD. THESE BASIC ISSUES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED A LONG TIME AGO.Can DIGITS app actively direct calls from voicemail?
Here is what I want to do: We currently have a landline office number. I would like to convert that to a virtual cell number from which calls can be routed to other cell phones. The office number would have an automated voicemail wherein the caller would select an option and their call would be routed to other cell phones based on their selection. (Example: "press 1 for maintenance issues, press 2 for rental inquiries, etc...) Can DIGITS be used in this way or is there another alternative or combination of apps to make this work?
