Voice Recorder - how to keep recording in background?? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I have started taking a few new courses and I want to record the lectures, but when I use Voice Recorder to make my recordings, I need to keep the screen turned on - as soon as the phone goes into standby or the screen goes off or if I launch another app, the recording stops.
Any idea on any registry tweak to keep it recording in the background?

Dude
Go here:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/
And buy it...!
It works really well on TP2, i record incoming calls, meetings (hours!) and so on.
One caveat, of course you need a good size micro card, i use a 16gb sandisk and set my recordings as 1 channel WAV files at 44.1.
Using these settings, i can record hours of audio, i can then drag them off the card (to free up space etc), store them on a pc, use them, edit them, file them, etc, etc.
Hope it helps.

Alternative Phone call recording

During a phone call the action you need to do to record the audio will be to temporarily remove the pennino.Non everyone may be aware that in this way activates the "NOTES" WM. Another way may be to click on the button pad "NOTE" '.
When the 'known' to the screen you will see lines with 'caller', 'society', 'telephone num', 'Notes' ...
Now you click on 'Menu' at the bottom right and in the drop-down menu click on the first page or 'Show registration bar ...'
A bar with a record rec button in red, then stop, play to finish with the volume button (last on the right). While calling and then click on the red rec button and start recording the phone call!
When you want then simply click the stop button to end recording x! To appreciate the whole do not have to do other than click on simbolino sound that you will have to close on the note "Note." To go instead to retrieve your records do not have to let go on the program ke NOTE, in this program. From there you can also set the target memory on which the audio file will be recorded (from Menu> Options> Save in).
Too much work dude. Just intall Vito Audio Notes Touch, and check "Calls Autorecord" option in the setting.
Once done, just use your phone the normal work with no added step at all. It will record without you realising it, and automatically label the came of the other person called, data and time of call.
No tweaks involved. Both sides of the conversation are clear, although the other side is slightly softer. Need not turn on the speaker.

Great!Thank you!

Vito Audio Notes Touch documentation says you must have it om speakerphone to get both sides.... this isnt true?

Please note that this works (and pls correct me if I'm wrong) on 1.19 ROMs and their derivatives only. Recordings with 1.14 ROMs (like mine..) suffer from a terrible quality issue from the other side of the call.
I don't want to upgrade yet, because this is the only issue that bothers me and I don't want to take any risks.

2 way audio recording only working for 15-20 seconds - solution?

I've installed a cab file to record the audio using the NOTES function. I'm able to record both sides of the phone call. BUT! I can only record it for about 20 seconds, then it automatically stops.
Anyone know a work around for this issue?
Also, how to record that phone call audio to the sd card, and not to the internal memory?
Thanks!

... had same issue without a sd card installed with notes recorder so that would be your issue... not sure about your program but notes are - menu options - save to Storage card, not sure about your program but should be similar

thanks
Thanks, found that, and changed it. Makes sense they wouldn't want you to record a 50 meg phone conversation to the internal memory, so they cut it off at about 4 megs per call. Done! Thanks!
I have changed the same setting, and also created Notes under My Documents on the Storage Card but it seems to still save to the internal memory. Any ideas please?
Thanks.
Use this program instead, it not only lets you pick any folder you want to store the recorded calls in (including the storage card), but it's really light weight and it records all calls automatically. Then, after the call, it asks you if you want to keep the recording or not.
Best of all its free. I've been using it ever since I got my TP2. WAY better than Vito Audio Notes, Rescoe, or the built-in recorder that stores them in "notes" in your My Documents folder.
Here's the thread to download it, as well as how to use it if you have problems. You probably wont have problems though, I just installed it, started the program, clicked the "enable recording" button, set where I wanted them saved, and I was good to go.
Works like a charm!
Its called ACR - or Auto Call Recording. Download it from post #3 in this thread:

Enjoy!
Volume low on playback
I've used ACR and Resco to record phone calls, but the volume of the other party is very low, almost inaudible, on playback. Is there any way to fix this please?
Have you installed the "Enable In Call Recording" cab? Search the forums for it. You'll need that installed for ACR to work properly. Sounds like what you're getting right now is just the microphone picking up the sound from the ear piece, which is why you can barely hear it...
Good luck,
Got it
Ok thank you very much. I got the CAB and it works nicely now....

[REQUEST]Fake Call Location

Hi all !!!
I've been looking for some time for a fake call location or something similar for windows mobile.
The aim is to be able to share a sound during a call, such as an .mp3, .amr... And beeing able to start the playing at the beggining of the call as well as during the call. It seems the app already existes for iphone but none for windows phone.
Could anyone help me get this kind of app.
Thanks
May the force be with you
Does anyone knows how to do such an app, or am i the only one seeing a use in it?
Hi again,
I'm thinking of adding more to this, such as a phone answering recorder. It would mute both mic and speacker, while giving a recorded message of your own to the caller and record his answer.
It could also be usefull to be able to start it during a call. If you want to say hi to someone but don't have the time to chat.
So basicly, the app would be able to:
-share a sound during a conversation or at the beggining
-start a phone recorder during or at the beggining of a conversation (muting mic and speaker while sharing a sound and recording)
Does anyone would have time to do such an app?
Thanks
eh?
Like when you start talking with somebody on the phone, they can maybe hear a train whistle, giving them the idea that you are near a railway station?
Or a car horn so that you can fool your girlfriend in to thinking that you are in the car when you are actually in bed with another girlfriend?
Yes, that's about the idea.
You could also use it some other ways. Like make listen the caller a vocal message you had recorded earlyer on your phone.
PS: i am not responsible for what you do with your girlfrind...
This is how i would see the design.
The Record msg button would play a pre-recorded message and record the answer from the caller and create a .arm file.
The Record call should record the call and create a .arm file.
The play sound should open a quick menu to choose a sound from a folder predefined (My Documents for exemple)
I hope someone is willing to do such an app.
Cheers
Chewee
I have found an old app for WM2003 which does about what i need (playing a background sound during a call).
GotTaGo
Could anyone make something new on WM6.5 ?

Req: simple call recorder for SGSII

Hi all,
I almost put 2-3 days to investigate Apps for call recording on my SGSII. I installed many Apps on it, however, none of them seems working.
Bottom line is apparently, there is hardware limitation in Android which prevents accessing the incoming voice. and most of the programs work when voice is coming from the speaker.
This seems ridiculous! I mean, come on! I had Nokia 5 years ago and had nice Apps working perfectly for call recording with crystal clear quality.
If there is not such an App and if Android world is unable to perform such an easy task, I will definitely, switch back to Nokia.
Please let me know if you know any WORKING program with good quality without putting the phone on speaker.
Thanks for your time.

Their own website states that the speaker phone must be turned on. So I will keep looking Phone call recording
To record phone calls, start recording, and put the speaker on during the call. Please beware that this doesn't work on all devices.
To record incoming calls, uncheck Pause on incall in the advanced settings, start recording, wait for a call, and put the speaker on. Warning: this may cause certain phones to crash when the incoming call arrives." Need something for a sgh-t989
there are 2 fine solutions mate, that already works for me on stock rom (root required) or cm7:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall.s2.market
or
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder (pointed by nilsido, too)
both works wonderful.

LG G3 Call Recording

Anyone found an app to AUTOMATICALLY record phone calls? I've tried two, ACR and Call Recorder. Both have problems recording the other person - with ACR the other person sounds garbled and with Call Recorder the other person isn't recorded at all.
The stock dialer lets you record phone calls, but not automatically.
Anyone found an app that will record phone calls on the G3? What is it?
Thanks!
Stock recorder does not let you record on a d851. Have spoken to both devs they all say it a hardware issue but yet tweakedbox g3 records.
AWESOME G3

G3 tweaksbox will allow you to add call recording and then recorded calls go to Voice Recorder app.
FYI, I get the same garbled caller side of my recorded calls with G3 Tweaksbox for some reason.
The other end of the line is garbled and distorted, barely able to make anything out of it, about 85% of all calls are like that, whether outgoing or incoming.
And it seems the louder the other end of the line is, it becomes even more distorted, but it's not from talking loud, my end is recorded fine, even when I tried yelling, it seems to be the way it's handling the receiving audio.

Yes call recording will work natively. The only issue is the other person sounds REALLY bad.

Pretty sure this is how you can get it working...
After talking to @wideasleep1 about his settings with Automatic Call Recorder (FREE), and applying a couple settings of my own in both phone settings and in G3 TweaksBox, I was able to get the call recording nice and clear!... here's how to do it:
Pic 1 - G3 TweakBox settings
Pic 2 - Settings (access this during call)
Pic 3 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (1 of 2)
Pic 4 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (2 of 2)
*once in a while on a certain call the recipient will sound fuzzy, maybe is related to the phone's main audio volume while on the call though. I'd say about 50%-70% up is a good volume. Anyways, someone wanna try this out and post your results?
Pic 4... Sorry
Ok this will add the record button when on a call. It will not auto record maybe I'll see about modding the apks to make that happen when I get some time. I have tried this and it's not terribly bad. There's a little crackling if the other persons voice gets to loud. So if you just want the option to be there for the next time you call Comast it''s there, also this is a flashable zip so please do a backup first :good:

Anything.. Lol
The point is that the os doesn't see them. Renaming the file achieves this without permanently deleting the files in case you want to revert later.
So, resurrecting a dead horse here...
When you're hearing the calls sound "garbled", the reason why is because the gain of the side-of-the-call-in-question is set too high
What I mean by this, for people who don't have experience with audio processing:
A file will have a given maximum-volume it can store for any given sound sample.
If it is told to write a volume higher than that maximum, it will write the maximum instead.
"Distortion" is a term for what this type of thing does to sound; specifically in this form, where the numbers are just cut down to size with no finesse, it is called "hard clippIng" and generally sounds pretty awful
The solution is to basically bring down the volume of the incoming sounds that are being recorded – i.e., in this case, the other person's end of the call needs to have its volume brought down coming into the recording app / system
The term for incoming volume is "gain"
So, the LG built-in call recorder needs the incoming gain, esp. that of the incoming calls, brought down to fix this
There is likely a number in some obscure preference file that controls this. I just have no idea where to look.
Anyone have any leads??
One of the updates to ACR this year included a gain control. By reducing the gain, I can now record calls with no distortion. Success!
