looks good. but it is not free.

well, i used this app since my S1. it works great. but sometimes the caller's sound is not clear/light. anyway, so far so good for me.
MOD EDIT HDser Comment removed as it is not in line with our site policy

while browsing trough my windows folders, stumbled uppon record.exe, or something, it was build in by windows, but has been removed, at least, not able to start it up, maybey a way to install it again

I have tried this software, and the voice of the person that talked with me was very low.

I totally agree

It works well if you put the speakers on during the call.
I know this way everybody in the room will hear the convo, but.. it works.
LOL.

Audio notes touch just not good enough...
It doesnt record the one you are talking with (you can vagely hear the other person, as the microphone picks up some of the sound from the personal loudspeaker).
I would like to record all of my calls (crispy clear sound from both parts), and I cant run around with the back side speaker on.
Anny suggestions?
Another ROM update or maybe another program?
thnx..

[Q] Call Recording

Hi guys
I have a s5660, running CM7.
Would like to record phone calls automatically, even if it is just my own voice and not the other party (although both would be great). I understand there are some limitations, and I don't want to have to use speaker mode.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I have Tasker... Or if someone could recommend a good app that will do it on the s5660 I don't mind spending a few $$.

i have used so many apps of call recording but i cannt find a good working app....
i think devs should think about it n make for us a stable working app of call recording....

I agree, there are many apps, but no one can do the job right. I tried 3 apps but no result, sometimes the person on other end Notices a BEEP every 30 sec or so, for me i go with Old LG KG200 with built in Call record function, smooth and fine, no loud speakers no Beep. I think i over write about Lg,, but i love my Lg. hehehe

try tape-a-talk app... it worked great for me.
not auto recording though (free version at least)

[TUT]Call recording on HTC One X, a noobs Guide! [UPDATE 23.05.12]

Hi All
I have wrote a noob's complete guide to call recording on the HTC One X (International, Tegra 3 edition), this guide gives clear step by step instructions. More experienced users will not need this guide, but, may find the app review and sample recordings useful.
If you are already rooted go straight to Part 3
Part 1. Unlock your phone's bootloader at HTCDev
The HTC One X (HOX) is not currently in the listed devices, don't worry just select "All Other Supported Models" from the drop down menu and follow the simple instructions, if you need further help see guide B in step 2. The down side to this is that it will your void warranty to some extent, how much is debatable. If you have phone insurance like me it will be less of a worry.
This is unfortunately the only way to root a HOX at the moment, we are still waiting for S-Off.
Part 2. Root your phone.
There are already a few guides on rooting the HOX, I will link to a few below, I followed guide A.
Guide A
How to root your HTC One X (for Windows, Mac and Linux) by paulobrien.
I used this guide and followed the section "EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'" I had no problems.
Guide B
[Tut] Preparing Your One X for Custom Roms (For Dummies) by bagofcrap24.
This guide is very detailed, it not only explains how to Root you your phone but also guides you through unlocking your bootloader via HTVDev.
Guide C
[TOOL] HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 [4-17-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-
Proof] by hasoon2000
As the title suggests, this is an all in one tool kit.
Ok, so now you have your phone unlocked and rooted, my guide can begin...
Flashing Onepagebook's call recording patch
Part 3a. Download Onepagebook's excellent patch (Sound_Phone_Original_REC.zip) from the first post on his thread, <<HERE>>
I downloaded the zip file straight to my phone and recommend you do the same, it will then be easy to find the zip file your phone's download folder.
Before you proceed you should make a back up of your phones original "Sound_Phone_Original_REC.zip" file I used Root Browser from Google Play market for this. Find the file at the following path in your phone...
system/etc/soundimage/Sound_Phone_Original_REC.txt
... and save it on your pc or somewhere safe (I Gmailed it to myself )
Part 3b. Boot into recovery on your phone and flash the patch, if unsure follow steps a-d below.
a. Turn off phone, hold down the volume down button and turn the phone back on, keep finger on the volume down button until you see the boot menu
b. Select "Recovery" using the volume buttons for up and down and the power button to select
I use ClockworkMod Recovery, and I can now see the ClockworkMod recovery screen.
c. Select - install zip from sdcard, then, - choose zip from sdcard, - Download/, and finally, - Sound_Phone_Original_REC.zip then allow your phone to apply the patch.
d. Simply reboot.
Still reading? Good, because now your phone is capable of 2 way call recording. You just need to choose an app.
Popular (IMO Best) Call Recording Apps and Reviews.
I have tested 3 call recording apps and uploaded sample recordings from them all...
1. Auto Call Recorder by Appstar Solutions
Plus Points
*This app worked straight away with default settings, Audio Source "Mic" and File Type "AMR"
*Quality is great
*Easy to share files via Bluetooth, Google Drive, Drop Box, Gmail, Mail or Skype
*You can add call comments
*Its free (but you can go pro)
* Nice UI, Easy to use
Neg Points
*You are limited to a maximum number of 40 calls in the inbox before they get deleted over, so you either have to save the calls you want or share them. (I gmail them to myself)
*Not optimised for ICS
Verdict 8/10 You will not be disappointed with this great app, only lost points on the 40 call inbox limit and not being optimised for ICS
2. CallRecorder by skvalex
This is the app I use, I used this app on my desire too and have always been happy with it. Imho this is the best call recorder app available for android.
To enable 2 way recording through this app, just enter the app preference setting and set...
a. (Record calls from) to (Standard Android API)
b. (Call recording format) to (AAC) or (AMR) I have not tested the others.
c. Select (Standard Android API preferences) then (Audio Source) and choose (Microphone)
Plus Points
*Works with a wide range of different phones
*Great sound quality
*Developer is helpful and maintains/updates/improves the app regularly
*Developer uses these XDA forums and has a valuable input in threads
*Loads of file formats to choose from
*Loads of options
*Share via Bluetooth, Google Drive, Drop Box, Gmail, Mail or Skype
*Nice UI and easy to use
*Optimised for ICS
*Highest rated call recorder app on the Google Play Market
Negative Points
*The price, but hey, the guy works hard on this app and it is a quality product so I am happy to support it.
*Needs 3 simple steps to set up, but, it's fairly straight forward and only takes a min! (See guide above)
Verdict 9/10 It is hard to see how you could improve upon this app, very popular and well supported. It's price lets it down a little, but, you get what you pay for.
3. Record My Call by NATHANIEL KH
Plus Points
*Good quality sound
*Free
*Works without changing any settings
*Great renaming options
*Search filters are a useful bonus
* Integrated with NexiWave for speech to text Automated Transcription (I have not tested this feature, requires registering with NexiWave and costs)
Negative Points
*Not optimised for ICS and very small hard to press icons
*Few settings
*Only mp3 file format
Verdict 6.5/10 A free workable solution with some neat and interesting features, let down by a lack of options & file formats and its really small buttons. Not as user friendly as it could be.
*Update 22.05.2012*
I was curious about Total Call Recorder and decided to give it a try today, but, I couldn't get it to record at all, on either of the 3 available settings.

*Update 23.05.2012* *Bluetooth*
Onepagebook has explain on his thread <<HERE>> that the patch has (so far) only been created to record the path to the audio chip set i.e. the mic, which it does amazingly well! However he is still working on the patch to mod the headset path, which he hopes will be working "in the near future" to enable Bluetooth recording.
For the time being you can just disable call recording when connected to bluetooth, to do this with...
1. CallRecorder by Skvalex, just open the app, press the settings button and select "Preferences" then "Standard Android API Preferences" "Action on BT connected" and select "Disable recording"
2. Auto Call Recorder by Appstar Solutions, open the app, press settings, scroll down and make sure "Bluetooth, Disable recording when bluetooth connected" is ticked.
On a final note; CallRecorder by Skvalex's set at ACC format uses less memory per call than Auto Call Recorder set at AMR and much less than Record My Call in the only available format, MP3. This is something you may wish to take into account when making your decision.
I have uploaded 3 test calls to this post, so you can hear the quality for yourself. Auto Call recorder, Callrecorder by Skvalex and Record My call. I hope you will find these useful.
If you did find this guide useful, have anything you want to add or have found other call recording apps that work please thank me or leave a comment.
I hope this guide helps and saves people some time.

Hi Nubzori,
Thanks for the complement
Can't speak for everyone lol, but, I wanted call recording so I would have proof of contracts made over the phone. Companies record their calls with you and this feature puts the consumer on an equal footing.
A few years back I was offered an "upgrade" with broadband and phone provider talk talk UK. A TT rep said the upgrade would continue to include free international calls to select countries and as my wife's family live in Poland this was very important to us.
One day, halfway through the first month of our new contract our phone and Internet stopped working so I asked TT what the problem was, they said our service was cut off because we reached our "limit" and would need to pay the £300 currently owed! This was only 3 weeks before X-Mas
You'd assume it was obvious we wouldn't change from a plan costing us £30 a month to a plan costing over £300. But no, they insisted we must pay, I explained what I was told but they said they didn't believe me and when I said I had the conversation recorded, they misinformed me that my recording was illegal, even though an auto message was played at the start of the call that they was recording me! (a rep from the ceo's office later said my recording was not illegal)
TT customer service reps are some of the worst I have ever seen. :banghead:
Anyhow, long Story short, finally a ceo's rep asked me if I could send him my recording, after listening he wiped the debt straight away and sent me an apology.
In that example I got back £270 and Christmas was saved horay all thanks to call recording
Secondly, I find myself listening to recordings to double check info like times and dates made over the phone and I don't have to search for a pen when people leave me there number
It's very useful.

Disable when connected to bluetooth
Hi,
Haven't found the time to try them all, but maby someone knows...
I'm using CallRecorder by skvalex (the best I've use yet) but have the problem that when connected to my bluetooth carkit it f*cks up the phone call; as soon as it starts recording the audio is lost, not only in recording but also in the actual conversation.
I ave taken a look at Tasker and Profile Settings Full, but after killing CallRecorder when connected to Bluetooth CallRecorder just restarts itself. So that doesn't seem to work...
So I have to manually disable CallRecorder as soon as I enter my car, or I can't use my phone for what it's build for; making a phone conversation.
So, do any of these programs have an option to *not* start recording when connected to a bluetooth headset/carkit? Or does anyone know of a way to disable CallRecorder and re-enable it when bluetooth disconnects?
Big thanks,
Cheers,
/Cacti

There is an option in CallRecorder to disable recording when connected to BT.
Choose the "Standard Android API Preferences" and then set the option "Action on BT connected".
I have not tried it, I just saw the option

Thank you very much. Work on ARHD.

Tried the Auto Call Recorder by Appstar and work fine. But, it was found the phone in-call volume up to maximum every time and had to tuned it down. Otherwise, the sound was distorted severely. Shutting down the apps does not have such change in volume.
Changed to Record My Call by NATHANIEL this morning. Works fine and no change on in-call volume. Moreover, the review function right after each call provides better management to the recorded call.
Very nice patch and does it work flawlessly.

Thanks for your feedback.
I used Auto Call Recorder by apps star without the volume issue you suffered, admittedly I only used it for a short while, just for testing. When at my pc I will make a note of this issue on my review.
I'm glad you're happy with Record My Call by NATHANIEL. It is a very capable solution, just as I said in my review, though little awkward and few settings.
Personly I've never liked after call review functions, since I had a nokia and accidently deleted a call I wanted to keep, it's probably not a big deal with these apps as I'm pretty sure they just hold the file in a recycle bin. Plus I prefer it to all happen in the background.
If I get more feedback I'll change the app scores.

Hy !
For the moment i am trying "Record My Call by NATHANIEL", but il isn't perfect :
1/The recording begins 5 seconds too late (missing the beginning of conversation) and no setting for this....
2/ When I CALL someone the voice of the other people cuts often or is distorted .
In reception of calls it works very well .
Of course my phone, one x, is rooted and your patch is installed.
So i think i must try another app you suggered, either if you have a solution for "record my call " ?

Try CallRecorder that seems to be the best and you get loads of settings to try. If you follow the guide I'm sure it will work flawlessly.
Alternatively try, Auto call Recorder from Appstar

sorry to ask but does this patch work for HTC ONE XL?

i'm wondering if the call recorder can cause massive battery drain (compared to the usual drain on the one X).
i'm using the charmeleon rom with francos r9 which people are reporting great battery use with but mine drains a lot.
in 9h 41min use i have 30% left
42% is cell standby
27% is screen 52min on time
13% media server 45min cpu use / 1h15m keep awake.
the main culprit seems to be cell standby but i'm not sure if that's caused by the call recorder or not

I tried CallRecorder by skvalex because it can also upload to Dropbox etc.
However, the upload (sync?) is NOT done automatically, so I have to upload by hand each time after a phone call.
So, please insert that (for me) negative point to the review!
If I had known that, I would not have bought the program.
But, fortunately there is a way: by using Dropspace I can synchronize a folder with Dropbox, so each recording is duplicated in Dropbox.
Thanks for this very interesting thread! Recordings work finally.

Do any call recording apps do this automatically? No point adding it as a neg to all the call recording apps if it turns out to be a feature that can't work. Just I've not noticed this feature on a 2wcr app before.

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.

I have the same problem on call recordings with my D851, the other person sounds really distorted.

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!

New update voice issues.

We finally have our watches updated with the long waited 1.4 internal speaker enable firmware.
I was so excited to side-load the update to my watch and seeing the new features activated, but with more usage to the watch/phone (note5) I started getting frustrated.
Phone calls cannot be received (heard or voice out) from phone if bluetooth (Play phone audio on watch) is selected. (unlike my previous iWatch)
2nd flaw is the strange behaviour using Facebook messenger calling when audio is diverted to watch, but this time the calls fail.
I thought i would see if its only me facing this, is it the combination of my phone/ watch misfit? or its the update?
I have already factory reset my watch, to no avail.
Please share your experiences guys.

For me this works super cool, no problem. Speaker is very loud and clear. I use it 50% volume at home, whitch is enough.

When you accept phone call on a phone voice is automatically directed through phone's earpiece. When you accept it on the watch, voice goes through the watch.
You can also switch voice direction during call using button having BT icon within in-call screen. This is how it works for me on Nexus 5x and I find it quite consistent.

Answering the call from the watch screen will answer on the watch. To me that is as expected. If you want to answer it on the phone use the phone to answer instead of watch.

I guess it's dependent on a device type, Android version it is running and most importantly a dialer app that it is running.
I can imagine devices having custom dialer supplied by a vendor that significantly differs from the standard Android one could yield different results.

Anybody else encountered FB messenger crash?

I'm facing very serious problems while trying to use HWatch to make/answer calls.
1. Without activating "Play phone audio on watch" everything works as before (no way to answer the call without pulling the phone). Somehow expected behaviour.
2. When I activate "Play phone audio on watch", I can answer the call on watch and apparently it thinks the call is going normally. Byt nothing can be heard on either side of the call. On phone the in-call UI is also displayed and no sounds played or recorded.
3. What's even worse, when I conventionally answer the call on my phone, it's somehow answered also on watch, with result being similar to 2 - no voice whatsover on either device - for about 10 seconds. After that the call is hung up on watch and starts to be hearable on phone. This is very annoying.
I admit, I have an old Samsung Galaxy SII running SlimKat 4.4.4 (which should include standard AOSP dialer). Maybe it has an old version of Blutooth or something screwed elsewhere. But for me the new 1.4 functions are now plain unusable.
Edit: Point 3 somehow fixed (or demonstrates randomly). But still: no audio stream between phone and watch.

Well I am somehow facing same issues with my GN 5 with the latest MM, in addition to crashing of FB messenger... Line and other voice calling apps are running fine.
