Trying many call recording apps to evaluate if there are anything perfectly working on call recording, particularly incoming voice. as a result, as you may see in the market's comments and some threads on other device at XDA, there seems a bug in Android.
FWIW I can see some efforts on other devices like SGS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863074, to get this feature working on their device. I'm just wondering if anyone is working on it for arc.
does anyone know about it or is this feature simply working for you?
I don't want to take a way of recording from the mic to get it working, even if it's the only way to go so far.
Hello, like i know, the reason why no one call recorder not record calls from line is the drivers. First of all we shoud wait for the custom firmware, then somebody should write drivers for our phones and integrate them to the firmware, and only after we can record calls from line. All this was made for HTC Desire, Desire HD, and others including SGS

The reason why none of the recording software work because there is no api in the sdk for that... So you cannot make a software to record inline voice...!!!

Maybe, but how without api, software "call recording" work perfectly on HTC and Samsung android devices?

probably they extend an API unofficially since they update Phone apps as well.
This issue is somewhat sensitive since it's relevant to the legal matter, it may be unlikely to get it fixed from google perhaps. I'd like to port their efforts to arc if I can get some kind of information what they have done on their devices.

Yes because of legal issues, google is releasing such api...
Will have to work on our own to get an api...
After that coding one call recorder software is quite easy...!!!
I wonder what legal issue is that because android is world wide used and I don't think there's any legal issue here in my country to record the line in of my own call/received call.
So the legal issue should meant to be force to use only in USA and some other country who have those issue. While the api that world wide used should have this function so those with out this "legal issue" in there country can use, isn't it ?
Hi there,
Can you please try the app Total Recall Android by Killer Mobile Software for recording calls?
They claim it records calls on Xperia Arc without any modifications or root needed.
I would like to buy this phone to replace a SGS that can record only with 2.2.1 FW...but I would like to know if this realy records bouth sides of the conversation without speaker phone enabled on the actual firmware versions.
Thank you in advance!

Because the Samsung Firmware is crap (my opinion), Skype do not recommend installing Skype 1.0 on SGS i9000, 2.1 device.

You can't even login using SGS. it's pretty bull****.
It says on the download page they are aware of issues with the SGS.give it time.

At least they released something. It´s just a matter of time that it will run on our SGS. I hope
The problem is solved with Froyo.
Skype can't fix it for Eclair...
I can not write more about this problem, because I am under NDA.
This is crazy, the Galaxy S is probably the biggest selling Android phone and it doesn't work. Knowing Skype it will take them another year to release any updates or even fix it.
Skype broken on Galaxy S it seems!
This morning I was greeted with the most awesome news that Skype for Android is finally available, only to be completely shot down to find that Galaxy S owners cannot log in.
Any ideas why this problem is plaguing only the SGS!? I hope there's an easy fix!
So after intentionally holding off a release for Android because of their deal with US carriers, and preventing us from making Skype video calls on our phones by blocking Fring, they finally release a crappy buggy version for us? How nice of them
This app can't do video calls either from what I can see.
Hopefully the new CEO is going to improve things and get Skype out of this hole they've dug themselves into. For now I'd rather use another app like Nimbuzz for VOIP.
Skype is a flop, their app can't even do video calls. Use Nimbuzz or something.
Skype is working hard to bring you a nice Skype App for Android.
I see it every day.
The bug is caused by Samsung modifications, this bug does not exists on other devices. (Can't tell you more, because NDA)

Has anyone got the Skype .apk file that we can download ? Unable to download app for my FroYo SGS.
Thanks
it says in the description that it doesn't currently work with SGS. give them a few days, it'll be fixed.

It works with JPK
works great with JPK here also, also calling works with the earspeaker
Working only on unofficial leaked firmware.. This is just getting better and better...
Hmm.. anyone have the apk? pls backup the apk n post here. we all wanna try!
I saw that there is an unofficial Skype with video calls floating around for the Thunderbolt:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
I know there is Fring and Qik, etc., but I need to be able to make calls to Skype. I'm not too familiar with the API for cameras in 2.2, but is it difficult (or worth it) to get this to work for the DInc2? Or is the device specificity hard-coded and compiled in the apk and better to wait until the official release?

Android 2.2 doesn't have FFC APIs iirc, HTC had to add them in.
Moved to general as not android development
i tried the thunderbolt apk with no luck, must need 4g
Oh I see. I'm guessing this is also why apps like ooVoo cannot support all devices with FFC's at the moment and probably why Skype with video is being delayed for so long?
Does that then mean that developers for apps like Qik just make sure to keep up with all the custom FFC APIs as new devices come out?
Anyone have luck with a call recording app? I've tried TONS (free ones so far) and none work. As a matter of fact, the error on one said this device is not built such that the voice of the person on the other line can be recorded (up link, down link, or something like that).

I'm not sure where you're from but the ROM of your smartphone may have something specifically restricted to disallow conversational recording. This is by law in some countries so the OS is restricted by the manufacturer - at least this was the way many S60 devices where restricted back in the day before fully rooting/unlocking them; which I think the same may be required for Android. I cannot say for certain as I'm still learning and this is one particular feature I'd love to have.
Total Recall was famous on S60; but this is Android we're after.

^ that shows a large list in a PlayStore search ... does anyone have particular solid recommendation please?
I use this for my divorce stuff, works on both audio streams. In my state, call recording is legal as long as one party on the call is aware. Your locale may vary. You've been re-cautioned.

This app sounds interesting. The other party you are speaking with over the phone in your state doesn't need to know they are being tape recorded for it to be legal?
I am going through a divorce. I need to look that up for my state.
Currently I am having an issue with 15 HTC wildfire S's.
Our company put on our own app onto different devices (Samsung Xcovers, Galaxy aces).
7 out of the 15 won't allow the app to work, force closing it every time we open it. I have already tried hard resetting the device and re installing several version of our app yet it still wont work on 7 of them.
The other 8 however do work, and the only difference between them we can find is the software number.
software number for devices not working - 2.26.401.3
software number for devices working - 2.13.401.3
I am guessing that I will be flashing the phone at some point to fix this, but I thought I would check before I end up breaking my client's phones
(I've only ever flashed my personal phone)
Is there anyway to change the software number? If so how?
Hi, and welcome to XDA.
If I may ask, what kind of app is it ? I've never heard of an app being broken on Gingerbread :/

Thanks,
It is basically a taxi management system app where the driver receives jobs and navigation details from base. We use the same .APK across all the different phones we deal with (which i'm sure can cause some compatibility issues).
Doesn't sound like something super hardcore, theoretically gingerbread apps are supposed to be horizontally and forwards-compatible, especially since your app runs fine on 8 phones.
Changing the software number won't fix it, at worst it has something to do with a small line of code that changed during the version updates. Flashing won't do any harm to the phones, be sure to backup first just in case.

OK then.
Thank you very much for the response
I will go have a word with our programmer about it and get him to check his code.
So my user name says it all... I'm older and suffer from short term memory loss. But I was using an app ACR for recording all phones calls ( I even let the callers know). And then I also started using an app called OTTER which puts your calls or Zoom meetings into text format. The ACR app says you can still use a phone with the Android OS 7,8, or 9 OS to use their app to recorder.
Obviously I don't want to use my Samsung Z Fold3 5G under like the 9 OS.
I DO have an iPhone SE 2nd generation (I think I have ios 13 on it).
So, is there some way I can get the recorder to work on my Samsung Z Fold3 5G..or to reset my iPhone and put an earlier ios on it... I need to ask the ACR app person if his app would work on the iPhone then.
Or if you know of a phone recording app that already works on iPhone❓️
It's been reported if you install acr from aptiode instead of the playstore it works. There's a thread on it somewhere in this forum. You can also use samfirmware tool to change csc and enable native call recoding. Again there's a thread on it in this forum
Maybe this is a foolish suggestion but I'm going to offer it anyway: why not get a used Android phone running v8 or v9 that will run the app without requiring tricks? Yes, this might mean that you will be carrying two devices. But on the other hand, you won't have to constantly worry that a software update will abruptly disable the app you depend on.
There are some very dependable compact Motorola and Samsung phones that would be well suited for taking and making calls.
Change the CSC to INU (india) and call recording option appears in the phone app
