Checking and adjusting on Apple and Android devices

In this instruction, we explain how to check and adjust settings for using the 3CX App on Apple and Android devices. If there are still questions or comments after reading, please contact our customer service.

Settings for Apple iPhone

Firstly, on an Apple iPhone, you have fewer options than on an Android device regarding adjusting settings in the 3CX App. The only action you can take is to press the three lines in the top left of the app. Then open the settings and choose "Reprovision." The app settings with the changes will now be retrieved.



Additionally, you can check in the App Store if the 3CX App is the latest version and update it if it is not. Also, we recommend checking if the iPhone has the latest version and updating if necessary in the iPhone settings under "General."

Finally, there are a few iPhone settings that can be adjusted to improve the app.

• Go to iPhone Settings, then Mobile Network.
• Here you will find the options "Wi-Fi Calling" and "Call on other devices." Both of these options should be turned off.
• Now go back to the main menu of the settings, and if you scroll down, you will see your apps. Click on 3CX.

Here you have the option to turn various options on or off. The following options should be turned on: "Microphone," "Notifications," "Background App Refresh," and "Mobile Data." To access, you will need to log in. This can be done as follows:

• In the 3CX App, go to Settings ➔ Advanced.
• Here you have the option Audio subsystem, set this to Automatic.
• In the 3CX App, click on the colored square in the upper right corner (the color depends on the current user status).
• You will see a number of statuses here, the default status is "Available," in this status, you are reachable. This is also the default status.
• Click on "Available" to the right of "Available" to adjust its settings.
• Here you will see the bottom option "Accept Push Notifications," make sure this is turned on.
• Optionally, you can also set this option for the other statuses, but the "Available" status is the most important.

Samsung Battery Saving

To enable or disable the battery-saving mode on Android devices, follow these steps.

• In the 3CX App, go to Settings ➔ Advanced.
• Here you have the option to disable Battery Usage Optimization. Check this and you will be redirected to the device's battery settings. You should see the 3CX App listed.
• Click on the 3CX App and set it to "Don't optimize."
• Then you can exit the settings and make a test call.

Mobile settings to improve performance

There are also a number of mobile settings that can be adjusted to improve performance.

• It's also possible to switch from wifi to 4G; this may resolve the issue. After selecting the desired period, you can click on "Show," and the data will be retrieved.
