Call recording on Desire (android) - Desire General

Hi!
I have a question if its possible to record incoming and outgoing calls on the Desire.

+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!

Dear All:
001.
Anybody has any positive experience with Ultimate Voice Recorder running on the HTC Desire (in the field of calls recording)?
002.
UVR on N1 seems to have problems with recording of the second party's voice, but on the US market this can actually be an "intentional" configuration/setup of the device.
003.
If same issues are present on the Desire how likely it is to get "fix" like the 2WayRecording? I have successfully used it on my TYTN2 together with Resco Audio Recorder to alleviate second party's voice recording issues.

+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!
any solution?

Desire and Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4
Hi,
an "In Call Recording function" would be nice to have. I partially was succesful with the Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4 which was able to record the remote person very silent, but still recognizable.
Same problems as I had with Windows Mobile 6: I used to have a T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage x7501, Code name Athena) which would only record the other side's person in speaker mode.
More or less bad luck until now, as I expected Android-devices being superiour in this matter!
Greetings.

shame this, my c905 did it out of the box flawlessly

Hy guys, I just installed on my Desire (Android 2.1) something from the market called vRecoreder.
Used it once running in the background and it recorded my conversation (the recorded volume is kind low, but you understand).
Give it a try.
ps: had to uninstall all my call voice recorders that run in the background.

Update: it records .3gpp (hence the bad quality i think) and aparently records only incoming calls. Must test more though.

Two ways call recording is depending upon hardware construction same like wm and symbian. For example if wm, Asus and Samsung can but HTC cannot, whereas if in symbian case, Nokia can but Samsung cannot. This conclusion comes from my long experience with the aforementioned mobile phones. Have not tested with Garmin Asus android yet as it is not available in my market but believe this one can.

I'm sorry, but I have an exception on that theory right here.
My Touch Diamond wouldn't do a two way recording whatever I tried. Until I switched to a custom (WM6.5.1) ROM, there it worked fine. So no hardware issue, it was a ROM issue.

I second this, as in a few Win Mobile threads discussed (no link at hand, sorry) there are registry values to be manipulated for successful two-way-voice recording. As far as I remember Microsoft and HTC stated that being NOT possible to record 2-way (without speaker mode), were hardware (design!) related facts and decisions made - until someone figured it out otherwise, by accident! (As a prior Win Mobile user: praise him!)

Not being able to record calls in Android phones is really sad.
The Palm system was able to do it from day one.
In fact the largest selling single piece of software for a smart phone ever is
Qmobilsoft's "Callrec" for palm.
So what does that say for a needed feature.
P.S. The Palm OS is now over 15 years old.

It worked on my Touch Pro2 as well, but seems as though the stock rom was on there for around 10 mins i dont know if it worked out of the box or not.

AirVoice claims to be able to do this. Unfortunately in my experience it just doesn't

Hi falks!
The situation is easyer, then you think.
The hardware and the software are ready to record 2way the phone conversations. We have only one problem: we doesn't have any software, which would do it for us.
At this time is the only solution the Ultimate Voice Recorder, which records the outgoing voice perfect, and the incoming voice very quiet.
Total Recall is the other software, which could be able to do this feature, unfortunatelly it does it only under 1.6, so on our phone - HTC Desire - doesn't works.

For the moment... maybe turn the speakerphone on... and record the whole conversation with another phone! Hahaa... lmao!

is there apps for 2 way rec
or only wish centar

Agreed but I had HTC Touch Cruise too and did adjust the registry value up to 5 in the Sound Categories using Memmaid software. The incoming call recording improve but very slightly indeed and is too far to compare with the clear quality from my Samsung i780 using Vito audio note in non speaker phone for both. Finally sold the HTC out and bought Asus P552w and very happy with the unit. Suggest to know and choose the right hardware from the start otherwise one has to learn how to play with registry or cooked rom and run the risk of losing warranty if does not know how to flash back the official rom.

No one here can confirm that Desire can do this yet. Samsung Spica and Galaxy S are reported to fail to record incoming call

Skype 2.2 Beta Obervations

Hello all
I have been using it with the Pocket PC version of Skype on my Orbit without any major problems. The general running of the app is sometimes slow due to its minimum requirement of a 400mhz processor, and the Orbit running at 186mhz as reported my omapclock (or 200mhz as O2 claim -what is the deal with that?). However, audio quality is fine, and calls can be made without problem. In short, it works.
However, I actually noticed a degredation in performance after installing this BETA version until I overclocked my Orbit to 264mhz (again using omapclock). Prior to this, the interface would often hang and stall, resulting in me getting fed up and resetting! It's strange that a version optimised for 200mhz would work at a lower level of performance on 186mhz than something designed for 400mhz.
Another observation is that I can't get audio to route to the ear speaker, only the rear speaker on the telephone...perhaps this issue isn't as model specific as first thought, so let's hope this is addressed.
Have any other O2 XDA Orbit users had similar experiences?
Yes - I also have the problem that only the rear hands-free speaker works with Skype (O2 XDA Orbit) . Tried the new Beta and the one from the day before (2.1?).
The new beta worked ok - but had some dropouts. No overclocking.
The version before worked fine without overclocking, after disabling 3 codecs in the registry.
@ Osussat: Did your "normal" speaker worked with the version you used before this beta?
StiflersMom: I always assumed it did...However, I'm now unsure...Maybe I should reinstall to see...Perhaps it's always been routed through the rear speaker. Does your Orbit run at 200mhz or 186mhz like mine reports?
This is by design. there is no way to route sound to phone speaker on this platforms. You can use wired headset to overcome this issue.

No! Really? Surely that's a major flaw that should be addressed?
In a german PPC-Forum a user told me he installed the new skype version on his Orbit and can talk "normal" - not through the hands-free speaker.
And he said he didn't change something during or after installation.
That says the Skype Forum about that issue:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=71801
Right.. I wish that was the case..

I780 and Skype

Hey guys,
Some people are claiming that Skype works properly on their I780... For me it doesn't... I can use it with a headset or the handsfree but the internal speaker (the one for normal phone calls) doesn't work. I've tried several Roms to check if there is one which makes Skype work but nothing worked...
So, I was just wondering if you could tell me about your experience with Skype. Is it working properly for you? If so, please let me know what you did to make it work.
Thanks guys!
no comments about skype on the I780? Does nobody wanna use it?

As far as I know, Skype, or any other software, can't use the speaker that you would normally use for phone calls on Windows Mobile devices. Only the internal phone- and VoIP-application of Windows Mobile is allowed to use the speaker of the phone. All other applications must use the speaker on the back.
So there is no way to get this to work, unless Microsoft adds access to this speaker through their API.
I use Skype sometimese and it's really driving me mad that I can't use it with built-in phone speaker or BT headset.
It also seems not using all available bandwidth so the quality is only acceptable.
skype works on my i780.
one day i was in samsung service centre to upgrade my rom, the samsung service personel noticed my i780 had skype installed. he asked how i managed to get it works. lol
i told him i dont know, i just download and install

So you are saying that your skype is working properly? You can use the earpiece of the phone to call people? Sorry man, but I think you are confusing something. I found out that some people thought their earpiece would be working but what they heard came from the handsfree speaker. If you turn down the volume of the handsfree speaker, it kind of sounds like the internal earpiece speaker... Can you check again please?
the phone would be just perfect with skype functionality but it cant use the normal earpiece...
Did anyone find a solution?
Maybe Skype Mobile 3 Beta is worth of checking out.
for my skye works (even trough normal built in speaker), but only wifi. Is it posible my provider (t-mobile nl) has disabled the port or something?
It looks like some of you don't pay atenttion to what is written here, and keeps asking the same question.
As Ralph said, there is no way to get around it. It's not just a Skype problem, It doesn't work with all the others third party applications.
The same thing happends with the front camera in all the Instant Messengers. It just doens't work.

I have the same problem but I found a trick!!
Launch Skype with no wifi.
Switch Wifi on (it is fine even if u are in an area with protected only or no access point at all).
You'll notice that your status will become available (green).
Switch Wifi off.
Don't ask me why.....but it seems to work!!

Do you mean that you can hear Skype call via earpiece?? Are u sure? It is not supported by skype it self!! In my opinion you are confusing the sound source. I'll be more than happy to be wrong.
Can u post your i780 ROM ans Skype version?

What I do is to turn the volume down of the loud speaker (use the rocker etc) and when you put the phone to your ear: face the screen outwards so the loud speaker is on the ear.

Is there anybody who's able to make a call with skype mobile. Everytime I'm trying to call somebody, skype is freezing and I have to softreset my device.
I've tried it with v2.5 and now I thought, that maybe v3.0 has fixed this issue, both versions with no luck though.
How can it be, that fring is working flawlessly, even the internal speaker is working, and the skype devs. are implementing new features without fixing old issues
I'm running Dutty's v3.3 XT and had this bug also with the german stock ROM.

skype video

do you know if / when skype will work with video as the hd has forward facing video camera for video calls.
would be nice to talk face to face with other skype users whilst away from the pc
Skype on internal speaker
i have a little Add on for skype that enables it to run on the internal speaker not the external, just like a normal phone call, im not on home pc at the mo so when i am, i will upload i onto here, all you do is run it first and leave it running while using Skype its that simple
Hang on i have it here
Here it is for your enjoyment !!!!!
Yea, Video calling would seriously be nice for Skype Mobile because not everyone lives in the very few 3G areas that exist.

[Q] voip sip prgrm for hd mini?

hi everyone,
does anybody know a working voip sip program for htc hd mini?
i've tried without success:
adoresoftphone
SJphone
fring
and sip confg tool - which I manage to make an outgoing call of which I could hear the other side but they only heard digital noises - and the phone got frozen without the ability to make another regular call.
I also tried gizmo5 - which works great on my pc, but I cant config it to do the same on my phone.
that's it I think,
help?
Havent tried voip, but although there is no support anymore, doesnt Skype work? You can still download the WinMo version through the unofficial sites...
what is the winmo version?

skype ofcourse works, but i'm talking about using a different sip provider, with user and pass and server.
what is the winmo version?
as I wrote before I used the operating system option for internet calling - which was only partialy successful, since I managed to make the call, but my voice was distorted.
PORTGO (PortSIP for CE)
Try this, it work for my HD MINI
i tried wm6voip + sipconfig, managed to get it work (at least to call a mobile phone in france from a low speed wifi hotspot in china) but the sound was not very good.
i need to try in better conditions to have an opinion, but it is not very convenient (have to disable HTC Sense to enable/disable internet calls via SIP)
thanks i will try portgo and let you know
i just downloaded the soft here:
w w w .portsip.com/wm-softphone.htm
after installation, it executes, but big slow down (lag) and some parameters makes the phone freeze, i had to reboot!
i have to test it anyway, but another issue is, seems you have to build a new contact list, it does not take the ones from Windows Mobile...
let's see
no incoming audio

Does the HTC Wildfire S work with Skype?

I would like to buy this wonderful phone but first i need to ensure that skype works..Has anyone tried it yet?
I have searched all over the internet and i have found that due to cpu freq skype does not work smoothly, especially when the screen goes blank(proximity sensor) and the OS drops the cpu freq. But that answer was 6 months old So i hope for a bit advancement in skype development..
I would be grateful if anyone that has tested skype in that phone could give me a more accurate answer!
I can confirm it works without any doubt , plus you have possibility to add voip accounts without installing any extra app

@koki-tytnII
which version do you have runing on it? coz on mine it just make problems when I speak, and exactly when skype is running on background, that means when the display is turning off
thanks
you can find skype app at market.
So my own experience with Skype and that "****ty", but cheap, cellphone (Wildfire S, by the way, I used the official HTC ROM)... So that's just impossible to handle the calls with Skype. I tried Skype, Skype lite, Skype on 3 (a special version of Skype which allows just the chats, so NO CALLS)...
So I installed Viber. The calls are pretty good even if the sound is quite low... But compare to Skype (desktop software version) that's not the same quality/rapidity!
To sum up : Skype doesn't work well for the calls! Okay you can use it to chat with your friends but some better applications exist (like WhatsApp).
A buddy of mine used tasker to setup a profile to keep the screen ON when i'm on a skypecall, so skype has benefit of the max cpu produced.. I've got crystal clear skypecalls over 3G here
I use Skype_on_3 without any problems: audio cristal clear.
With normal skype instead, I have the famous choppy sound that make it useless (3G or wi-fi is the same).
I tried to use headphones to leave the screen on, but the problem is still there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
(Wildfire S, Stock ROM, S-OFF, last skype updated yesterday from the market.)
Skype works perfectly normal, and its very good to use with head set, and there is no lag. tho` there is no front camera for video calls ... and i think the 600mhz wouldnt handle video calls
skype doesn't work for me either (Wildfire S, Vodafone Ireland, Standard ROM, S-ON).
I think it works when the phone is flat and I use a headset, but that's pretty limited!
I tried downgrading to an older version (Skype 1.0.0.984 and Skype 1.0.0.983), no success either. Any suggestion?
I had the same problem, i uninstalled the new version and installed the old v1 and works just fine, no problems whatsoever

Where can you find an old version? The market only has the latest. I wanted to use skype over wifi and the sound is to bad it's useless. I thought it was a bandwidth issue but I tested and got about 10 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up so I know it's not that - glad to see that others are having this issue also not just me. But I'd be even happier if I could get a fix
I found skype 1.03 and it works without the new versions chopped-up sound - works just FINE!!! Found it here
Hi,
I agree about using an old version. I do it as well and speaking works very very good, and sometime better then my old notebook.
Just one thing that I really dont like, with such old version skype doesnt support sending sms, which means, when I need to speak I use the old one, for sending sms the new one.
Perhaps there is a stable version from skype which allows sending sms? Or is there a way to install two version of skype?
thanks
