Installing CG Pager
When you tap Download APK above, the APK file is downloaded to your device — then just follow the instructions on your phone to install the app. If it doesn't start automatically, you'll find the APK in your Downloads folder: open the folder and tap the file, and the app will install. Finally, drag it to a suitable place on your home screen.
Two permissions are required
- Appear on top — required so the app can wake your phone and display an alert even when the app is not open.
- Send and receive SMS messages — the app needs to respond to incoming A&T messages, and send replies.
Test the app by changing your availability. If it fails, go to Settings → Apps → CG Pager and enable notifications, then use the three dots at the top right to modify permissions and allow restricted access (a PIN or fingerprint is needed to authorise).
Important: once you have given the app its permissions, close it. Then re-open it to personalise it from the Settings page.
