Disable Play Protect temporarily during installation
Enable "Install from Unknown Sources"
After installation, re-enable Play Protect if desired
2. GPS tracking delays on some Xiaomi/MIUI devices
Affected Devices: MIUI-based Android phones Issue: GPS updates are delayed or not uploaded in the background. Cause: MIUI aggressively restricts background services Workaround:
Allow background activity and battery usage for the Agent app
Exclude the app from MIUI battery optimization
Lock the app in the 'Recent Apps' screen
3. Audio Recording fails on Android 13+ with DND mode
Affected Platform: Android 13 and above Issue: Ambient Audio feature fails when the device is in Do Not Disturb mode Workaround:
Manually disable DND mode if recordings are needed
Use scheduled recordings outside DND windows
4. Data sync stalls in poor network conditions
Affected Devices: All platforms Issue: Intermittent network or background restrictions cause sync failures Workaround:

Use Manual Sync from the Admin app when needed
Keep device charged and connected
5. Ambient Voice Record with error message ""
Affected Devices: All platforms Issue: Some users report that when they click "Start record," an error message appears. Workaround:
The team will display the status of the recording instead of showing the error message.
6. The contact date is not corrected
Affected Devices: Android with Agent app Issue: Contact dates are the same as the reading date. For example, the contact "John" entered by users in 2023, but it displays 2025 when the app is installed. Workaround:
The team is fixing.
Thanks John
