[Q] Looking for App: Call Recorder

I am looking for a good and working phone call recorder. Which can record directly, not over the speaker or something else.
In the market I saw some of them but they seem to be buggy.
Any idea?

Me too, but I have found none that works well is isn't crapware.
My only hope so far is Total Recall by Killer Mobile. I paid for their product some time ago for my Symbian handset and it has been perfect. Reliable and very flexible (you can define rules, exclusion lists, etc)
Unfortunately the developer seems to be working on Android versions.. some are working in some units but on the Galaxy it is still not finished. I downloaded the demo but it didn't work.
You can keep an eye on it tho at Killer Mobile's site (forum part).
If anyone knows of a better product for android, please let us know... call recording is very useful when you need to keep track of details and can't write at the time.

i saw a couple of them on Android Market, forgot the name
they both can record live calls
is good if you want to tape something to be used as evidence

any news?
The original post is a few months old, can anyone name a working application please? I switched from Omnia 2 and cant find any program that can match Vito Audio Notes or Resco Audio Recorder
Total Recall records only in A-Mode a few seconds, beginning with the line waiting (ringing on the other side) and the sound is distorted.
(the missing call recording and Garmin Maps make me think to go back to WinMo)
Thanks!

Hi, suggestion awaited..........

check hero/g2 forum, someone made a call recoder, it uses kernel library specific to hero so dosn't work on other phones, but devs can try hack like that on sgs... maybe.

Any NEWS on this issue.
haven't found a proper application until now.

http://www.getjar.com/mobile/1305/total-recall-call-recorder/
haven't tired it yet. SGS is listed as compatible. Will test it myself once I flash to jp6.

Tried it and have to say it does not work very well so far. I'll play more with different settings before uninstall.

Inbound calls only ring once, dzo's latest froyo

As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...

I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.

Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer

Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.

I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.

I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Thanks to siwahem for solving the problem...
@zPacKRat: I apologise but I suppose I've clearly said: what I suggested may be a patch waiting for the solution, not the solution

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.

Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.

As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.

This thread was about ring tones, your not likely to get much help with compcache, you might try the devs thread for the rom itself.

set vibrate to always fixed the problem for me.

[Q] Call Recoder

I was wondering if anyone knew of a, preferably free, call recorder for android, that doesnt beep every * minutes etc, and can store files with call name and date etc, and it records both sides of the conversation. Does anyone know of something like this?

bump still looking for one

Me too
Had onkologs ROM on my Touch HD that had one built in and I miss it.
TL;DR Bump

I try all call recorder but unfortunately it on records what eve i say can't able to record both sides so i like to know is DHD is hardware capable to record both sides or not please any one answer.
Thanks

I'd say any phone is capable of recording both sides if you can install the program.
Just need to find a decent one.

please xda ,its time to develope in call recorder for dhd?
i hope u will try to build a new one for android like hd2.
thanks in advance

Don't waste your time. This won't work. You can only achieve recording from speakerphone.
I have been looking into this since WM6.0 with TyTN and it has always been like that. If it is limited by hardware, whatever you do with software it won't work.
All existing applications declare the same.
Anyway, I would be willing to pay for a software that would do this because it is very important feature for me but haven't found any paid apps either.

Didn't they say same regarding Hero? But hey, it finally worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806451)
That is the only software I miss since moving to DHD few weeks ago.
Hopefully there will be possibility to record calls soon.

hi again im still wait xda to do that please ?
yes i can promise to donate 50 $ via western union way ,to whom will find a way to record both sides i hope others will promis too even with small donation.
thanks in advance

[Q] Call Recorder

Does anyone know of a call recorder that works without the speakerphone? I've downloaded so many of these programs and not a single one actually picks up the other end with real clarity. You would think this wouldn't be that hard to find. Anyone know???

LOL...yes I've been to the store to download a program that works. The problem is...they don't work well. As I've read in most posts, these programs seem to use the mic to record the other side of the call. This will not do. I'm looking for something that actually captures the other side of my call clearly. Try again?

Now I don't know if this is true or not but from what I'm reading, in order for these programs to pull from the incoming signal and not the mic, it most be partially done through the kernel. Not sure if I'm right on this. I found a cab file containing a fix however it was for Froyo and I don't think it will work on later versions of ROM's (Been testing your HD Bliss ROM for a few weeks now).

Recording calls with Note 10+

I need to record calls for my job.
In my Note 8, italian CSC (which was recently stolen during a trip...sigh) i had installed an indian firmware after changing CSC thanks to XDA members and the clear instructions posted in the relative forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ording-wip-t3905737/post79009745#post79009745).
It's there a similar process for Note 10 and Note 10+? Someone can please post the instructions to do that?
I'm waiting to buy it because i've not still find the way to record calls (blame on **** Google)....
Or there is some other valid solutions?
Thanks in advance

The process is the same, you just need to use the correct combination file for your device.
Before you do that though, you may want to try using a 3rd party callrecorder app, since they now seem to work with the Note 10/+ to varying degrees.
See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/call-recorder-app-t3960278
I use 'BoldBeast' on my Note 10 plus 5G and it works perfectly, some people report good results with 'ACR' but I found that the other party volume was lower compared to when using 'BoldBeast'.
The main thing is not to download from the 'Play Store', for 'ACR' download from the 'Galaxy Store' and download 'BoldBeast' from it's developers site.

Thanks!
I will try before 3d party applications...
just an answer: this applications recognize the recorded telephone numbers too? or the recorded contacts?
otherwise it would not be easy to quickly find a recording among the various archives (because I read that Google has also blocked the ability to recognize numbers and contacts for third-party applications)
I need to install a good spam filter too in my dialer, so waiting for suggestions about that too. (in indian firmware there was one by default in Note 8.... it's there in Note 10 too? in european firmware too?)
Thanks in advance

'BoldBeast' recognises numbers, the only drawback is that auto record is only available on the paid app, otherwise you just press the record button.
Also, no call recorder, native or 3rd party is able to record calls made over wifi.
Spam filter is a native feature in the Note 10/+ Exynos dialer.
---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------
Forgot to add, 'BoldBeast' recognises contacts too, so the answer is that it recognises both numbers and contacts.

Call recorder by skvalex is the best, in my opinion, or simply the built-in Samsung automatic call recorder, which you may enable in the stock phone app.
