Several times now in an effort to conceal the names, numbers etc from people who contact me, i have inadvertently made going back to a usable state impossible without factory resetting the entire device.
Permissions, settings, features etc take me literal hours to complete. Even then i forget some things i end up locating later or forgetting all together.
But in realizing the phone refuses to show missed calls beyond the brief top notification that only initially is viewable for a split second. No call logs or missed calls show up beyond that initial top notification either. I have literally 1 second to decide to write down the number who called or hope they leave voicemail or the number is gone forever.
Now my issue is, since i am stubborn, and despite needing call log access, i am probably NOT going to factory reset the device to undo EVERYTHING just to appease the "all or nothing" people that decided this. I will work around it knowing it's an issue and hope i am aware enough at any moment with pen to write down caller numbers. But i imagine if anyone else finds themselves in this situation, like me, they might be quite unhappy to learn the difficulty added by this setting.
Maybe Graphene can make this more robust or easier to undo whatever i keep doing that butchers Contact access from everything. This shouldnt be a "feature" nor should it be all or nothing but what do i know.
