[Q] Does SGS2 support proper call recording ? - Galaxy S II Accessories

So, i'm about to get a new phone which MAY be an SGS2.
However i need to know if it can record calls properly, without all this external speaker bull**** ?
Currently i own SGS and its useless in this regard.
If SGS2 doesnt record properly, which of new dualcores does ?

Yes it does. Just use CallRecorder from the market.

CallRecorder works great on the S2, the quality of the sound is perfect. The downside is that when you transfer the wav. file to your laptop, the file format is not recognised.
I have downloaded some software to my pc that converts wav format to mp3 but the file is still not recognised.
Any advice please.

There seems to be quite a few CallRecorder apps on the market, could you please give a market link to the one you are referring too please.

Call recorder has a little green android next to it in market.

No, it doesnt

Killer mobile have just updated their Total Recall app for android and cleared out a couple bugs, this now seems to work just fine for me. It also has the option to record in 3gp, wav, mp3, amr, plus you can auto upload to evernote or e-mail out through gmail.
Call quality is pretty good, only downside is it will not work with blue tooth head sets, correction it does work and record but you cant hear the person your talking to but the recording comes out fine lol.
Ill try the other one recommended here and see if its any better on the quality side but best thing for me with TR is you can set it to prompt at the end of the call to save or not so routine calls or family ones can be deleted without taking up space, you can also use as a dictaphone with a instant record button widget and remote sms into it to record when you have left it in a room and want to know what's been said if your feeling a little paranoid lol.

Is there any free call recorder which works without having to install new ROM?
I use stock 2.3.3 ROM and would like to continue using stock ROM.
I saw "audio hack" on forum - is it needed?
Maybe I have to upgrade to 2.3.5?
Maybe I need kernel supporting it (I use Speedmod)?
I've tried 5 programs and all of them doesn;t record anything or records silence. (dind't try TotalRecall because it isn't free).

alternatively you can try MIUI rom which comes with build in call recording. =)

I don't want MIUI, I don't want alternative ROM, I only need to know why sometimes call recording works, and sometimes doesn't. Is it ROM problem, kernel problem, lack of libraries problem?

Search forum for hacked call app it has native call recording works with any rom.

I've searched but found nothing. Can you you give me more directions?

I use callrecorder from svalec, it works perfectly with stock kernel.

Total Recall with recording strategy C works perfect.

Please stop spamming about Total Recall, all threads about call recording are full of that. Total Recall isn't free and I ask for a free solution.
I've tried callrecorder, it seems to work, thank you!

[Patch]Telephone Call Recording

For those has problem in recording telephone conversation on SGS2 can try this patch, I am using Leomar GB 2.3.4 ROM with this CWM-patch taken from Chinese ROM. Good 2way voice quality using Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.71 other telephone recording software should work too.
Remember backup your ROM before testing in case you may get infinite loopback after flashing

Will try it and post my experience here.. I hope this must be a addon to the phone app...
this is just the lib files you still need recording app to do the recording. You can use Cris ROM and patch with this lib. You should get clear voice conversation in the recording
I´m already recording phone calls without this hack, just installed an app (callrecorder) and its working really good, clear voice on both sides.

just install newest Total Recall v1.7.6

worked on KE2 stock and now on KF3 ... so no hack or what so ever...
Conversation impossible if call recording active and BT audio device used.
This patch can't resolve it

[Q] Alternative Video Call app

Hi, my girlfriend use an iphone 4 and well obviously I use SGS2.
is there a video call app other than skype? we've tried fring and qik, but really bad video quality.
so is there an app that will work for android + iphone 4?
i've tried the modded skype by pulser and the other dev(sorry i forgot), it has the video call feature but when use the video option, my gf accept the call but skype made it voice call, hence fail to video call~~
skype from phone should be able to make calls to desktop pc and iphone 4's skype right?
Try Tango...

To be honest, the video calling feature on android sucks. On iphone face time calling is clear and reliable, were as on android you have to resort to 3rd party apps, which pretty much suck. So you can't expect cross platform calling to work properly when android to android pretty much sucks. Av tried nearly all the available video calling apps, and none impressed me in comparison to face time calling.

What about ooVoo? You can call mobile-mobile and pc-mobile with ooVoo. Take a look at their homepage, which is their name between www and com
Whatever works best for you!

well it says in their site coming soon for SGS2? found in browser's market but incompatible with device.
looks promising though.
I've used Skype from my phone to my friend's iPhone and the video quality was brilliant. Just make sure you're on WiFi. Don't forget, this is a requirement for facetime on iPhone, so that's the only way to compare quality.

thanks for the link but i have them already.
speaking of skype, i have problems video calling to iphone 4. calling to desktop computer has no problem though. when i called ip4, it connects to video for moment(but just black with the video buttons) then immediately changed to voice call and it will be changing forth or so until i end it. any clue?
Just tested with v5 and iPhone4 and iPod4 sgs2. One autoswitch to audio only in 20 test calls on wifi. Also limiting resolution in advanced options might help. I left it on auto.
One note. If your GF on iPhone has app off in suspend and not in app then after she accepts call she has to enable video manually by selecting camera icon and choosing which camera she wants to use.

[Q] Two way call recorder?

Hi there!
I instaled ecorder 1.0.45 alpha on my Wildfire S with a stock 2.3.5 ROM and rooted. It seems to record 2 way from line, but the other way sounds to be distorted from time to time (in call and in the recorded file).
It records the conversation only if I chose Kernel with 2-way call recording patch (even if my phone doesn't have such patch). If I chose Standards Android API, CallRecorder will generate a 0 bytes file..
Here's what I`ve done.
1. Temp rooted my wildfire s.
2. Installed CallRecorder.apk
3. Both sides recording works like a charm

It craps out a lot even overclocked to 806 mhz.
Garbles the conversation.
Unfortunately IT is the best solution out there.

Hi nz_ranger!
Don't you have garbled conversations when CallRecorder is in use?
Witch version are you using?
My phone is rooted and S-OFF with a stock ROM.
@nz_ranger
Which version. I've had no luck with any version using wav, flac, mp3, etc.
Hi guys,
Version 1.0.45 alpha full
set to record in .mp3
No garbled conversations, but you got to have some spare internal memory I guess in order to record flawlessly. Mine is 25MB

I think you will need to turn on the speaker in order to do a 2-way recording.
Hi,

In short, it doesn't work. I use stuff like this to go back when someone tells me number or gives directions .. So it's pretty important for it to work for the incoming voice and in noisy areas.

Did you manage to find out a way to record call on both sides using WFS rooted? I have ROM 4.1.2 thunderbolt V2.1.1 and have installed CallRecorder version: 1.4.5. Using Kernel option , voice is distorted from time to time. Can you suggest a way?
I'm pretty sure it needs to be enabled as a kernel module in order for it to function correctly. Have you tried looking at The dev sections kernels? If it's not their you could try to find a how to compile the kernel module and politely ask a kernel dev to see if they can help

Call recorder

Can anyone recommend a call recorder that works with our phone? I don't want to have to use the speaker phone.
Just posted the following today
I have been using the trial version of InCall Recorder which has worked on my rooted S3 along with the Record feature.
Have asked Dev about saving the recorded messages on the ext. SD card which is stated in the description of the program but I have not been able to find out how to do it. The ability to do this is both in the Trail and Paid version description......just email them today.
Could not record through the Line but did get it through Mic. It was a pain to use the Manual Start to do this but it worked and the paid version has the Auto feature.
When I learn how to get this Record feature to save to that ext SD card, I will buy the program.
Try the Trial and post your results.

Tried InCallRecorder, did not work for me, only got static.
Moved on to Call Recorder (by skvalex) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en , and this works perfect on my S3, but it's expensive at $10.

Enable Active / Native Call Recording

Hi,
After replacing my LG G3 with the new Nexus 5X I was surprised to find out I can't use my call recording app anymore.
The company said that Native Call Recording is locked on Nexus devices - So no recording apps can work.
Is there a solution for that?
Thanks!

As I said - My app does not work.
The call recording app company said that it will not work on the nexus device. Meaning no other app will work as well.

The app I linked to requires root to record from the line on devices where the functionality is otherwise unavailable. That is why it works where other recording apps (i.e., non-root apps) do not work.
