Thanks to @itsclarence,

native dialer screen don’t react when incoming call, so, use “simple dialer” from “F-Droid” as default solve the problem.
as it is a mini version ( due to /system size ), so you have to add the “Magic Earth” G.P.S. app from “Aurora Store”
additionally to the first no “screen when calls incoming” in native dialer, the simple dialer replacement app don’t reset the missed calls counter.
also, when i want to copy/paste, i need to tap paste two times, because the first attempt just delete the selection without pasting.
.
For those who need the latest Samsung Firmware for this device :
Thanks for the reply. I found a way to get microG to work, after some digging. Toggle the Cloud Messaging ping interval in microG settings to 60 seconds so it says it’s connected. Then reinstall messaging apps, so that they can register. Then set it back to automatic once they are registered.
Notifications don’t seem to work after all. I’m not even getting SMS notifications. I’ve tried to fix this for a while, but microG Cloud Messaging just seems to not work. Or it’s a problem with something else relating to push notifications.
Edit: I tried the Android 10 one too, with the same result. I guess I’m gonna have to go back on the official Nougat.
Just to say I own several S4 mini and I’m sad to see them stuck in 0.13 so I would gladly support any new /e/ releases. I would even put a few bucks on the table to see it officially supported.
