Hi, I recently upgraded to GS3 from GS2. I used an app called Sanity to record calls on the S2 and it worked flawlessly, recording the call directly (not recording the mic sound) and capturing the sound of the people on both ends of the call.
I've found, however, that this is not possible on the S3, at least not without some kind of modification. When I attempt to begin recording a call, the Sanity app will not allow the recording to begin. Based on what I've read, this is an intentional limitation built into the phone.
I've taken the initial step of rooting my S3, but I'm not sure what to do next. What's the best way to record calls?
I've heard it's possible with tasker and that there are roms that can do this, but I'm pretty new to all this and don't really new where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You might wanna get on a PC and search "call recording" inside the "The Peoples ROM" thread, there was some heavy discussion about it not too long ago
Thanks, CNexus. There was some discussion. However, there was a notable lack of answers. I didn't see anyone who said they've found a successful solution. This is quite frustrating.
I don't know enough about phones to investigate this myself. I wouldn't even know where to begin. If anyone has had success doing this, please share. I will have to return the phone, sadly, if call recording does not work.

Thanks! There's a page on the tasker wiki about call recording, but I don't know if it works with the S3. I would like the page, but I can't post links yet because I'm a new user.
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.

InCall Recorder did/does not work on my S3. The last time i got call recording to work on my S3 was in the ICS 4.0 days, was even baked into some ROMS and the stock dialer. Worked beautifully. Nothing else has worked ever since 4.1..
Yes, I've given up at this point. I'm going to buy an external device to record the calls, which seems silly to me since my old phone could do it. Why is functionality going backwards?
Silly question... why do you guys record calls? Business purposes?! Other than that or being a cop and trying to catch someone admitting something I'd personally see no use for it hahaa. Just wondering guys.
I use it to record interviews. I'm a journalist.

This one app in particular does work on any s3 rooted or not. Works with 4.1.1 it is a little crackling but it does work. You can download for free and test it. After a certain amount of time it will limit you to max 1 minute recordings unless you purchase the full app. It's like 10$ but if you really need to record conversations this might work for you.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...
Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app
Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.
It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"
Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it
Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.
Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.
My biggest hold back on installing CM10 or AOKP was the lack of Cell Broadcasts built in. But low an behold I was able to restore it from a Titanium Backup. I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for all. And maybe for myself if I ever lose it!
This for sure installed on AOKP. At least it installed, I'll have to wait until Wednesday when they do the test to confirm it works.
To install (this is old, the link at bottom has a flashable zip.):
1. Copy the "CellBroadcastReceiver.apk" into "/system/app"
2. Change the permissions to "rw- r-- r--"
3. Restart
It wont be a normal app, but it should appear under Settings --> More... --> Cell broadcasts

It may not be for everyone. But for me, in Arkansas, I find it useful for Tornado warnings. The AMBER alerts are good too. Apps use data and GPS, thus killing your battery. This is a more stable system than some app. Most of the time my phone's WiFi is connected to some shoddy open Linksys router and in and out of proper data service anyway.
Cell Broadcast is like receiving a free text. Good for those on limited data plans, or those that need to be safe!

I think this was standard on the STOCK build, I can not remember since I rooted and flashed CM10 nearly the same day I got the phone. The point of this as the OP states is that once you flash CM10 you lose this functionality. He provided a way to recover that functionality.
Why does this get stripped out when they build the ROMs? I can't imagine anyone actually thinking it'd be a good idea to remove this, is it an oversight?
Cell broadcasts are true broadcasts, so there are no network overload issues when sending them out.
And they work as soon as there is coverage. If you are roaming somewhere without data, the broadcasts will still work.
Doesn't Google Now have something like this built in?
"Public Alerts" card? ... I do remember when a hurricane was coming to NYC, I never received any alerts. Although I was told by some people, it was in text messages.
Thanks to the OP for the app, obviously some people wanted it.
I find this funny though because my parents and I spent xmas weekend trying to figure out how to turn this crap off on their iphones, never did find a way, fortunately my n4 (stock at the time) did not have this annoyance.
This should be a flashable zip, with an addon.d script to keep it alive between ROM updates. I suppose I'll make a zip for myself.

What do you mean by "tw rom"?
For the love of everything dear, if you have the cojones to be running a CM10 ROM, you should at least know that TW refers to TouchWiz, as in the stock Samsung TouchWiz ROM.
Have you called in to customer service and have them either re-provision your account and or profile or just see if it's a tower issue in your locale, etc etc?
This past week, for 2 days, i couldn't make or receive calls or SMS but data worked. I didn't come on XDA and start a thread BEFORE calling in to C.S and finding out that it was a network/tower issue in my area/zip code (and they gave me a $10 credit for my trouble).

First, knowing what TW means isn't a requirement for you to root your device. But due to the situation, I know what TW is now. Secondly, wouldn't anyone with half a brain call Customer Service? To elaborate, no it's not a tower issue, it's specifically related to something on the device that is revoking it's ability to access my data.. maybe a username or password? Thank you for your abysmal support LordLugard.
Really..... it's a common assumption you know the at the very least what tw and aosp mean, if you know how to flash stuff.
With that said consult the cm10.1 thread.

You're better off with Talk and G+. Hangouts doesn't even have online/busy/not-online status, which has been a fundamental piece of online chat since....I dunno....AOL AIM?
I played with the "update for all of 30 minutes before I reflashed my ROM. Hangouts is currently not even a feature-complete AIM replacement. It is pretty, but that is about the only thing it has going for it over what it is supposed to replace.

WRONG!
Some of them only use google account to activate the android phone and to use the app (play) store, they do not use GMail nor Talk or Hangups. At least one is only using iPhone and iMac. I used to talk to him once. He never starts Talk or Hangups since them. They are all on the long long list... Why?? How do I remove them easily?
And: how do I signalize that I am busy and may not be disturbed ("busy" = red)? How can I see that someone is away (Android phone online but screen is off: yellow/orange)?

I'm in the camp that says it's the biggest piece of crap google has put out in a long time. While I think the name itself is lame as hell. My main issues in order are...
1. All of your contacts are added whether you want them there or not. Face it, I don't want every contact in my address book in my hangout. There is no way to remove the unwanted contacts from the list without blocking them (which also blocks them from your google+. Now I have 200+ names in my hangout.

2. I have 2 separate accounts one for just my family and the other for my xda friends. There is no real way to separate these accounts all the contacts for each are merged together. Again, where's that sign?
3. While it does show when you are online or offline it doesn't give you to option of being away or busy.
There or more but these are my top 3.
It's really a huge step backward from talk.
Everyone in the S3 section is awesome and helpful, I found that out last night!
I have another question, hopefully it is an easy one. I just don't know exactly how to go about doing this.
Basically I use a program on the S3, that records everything except call recording. The Rom that is on the phone has a built in call recorder. When the program logs a call for XX minutes or however long whenever I try and listen its all just static. I assume I just need to figure out what I need to delete in the Rom for my program to be able to use it.
I use "Mspy". It has a dashboard via web that records everything on the target phone, except when the Rom interferes with it.
Phone is rooted with stock rom 4.1.2, twrp.
Any help is much appreciated. I'll give a thanks.
The S3 has that problem call recording apps don't work. There is one app but it costs money, there was also a modded hack which allowed for call recording to work. There is information on this in the OP of The People's ROM and there's a thread here somewhere on the modded hack. I am at work so I can't really search to link you right now. Hopefully someone else can help you a little further.

Here's the link to the call recording mod. It works great except for having to manually press the record button on the phone pad to record outgoing calls. Incoming calls can be set to record automatically in the phone app settings.

Well dang that sucks! I'm paying $50/Mo for Myspy. It picks up installed apps, texts, calls, locations, FB, record surroundings whenever I set a command to do so. My program I use does automatically record the calls even though its just static, when I listen to them you can actually hear the phones ringer and the surroundings like a Tv or the radio until they hit answer then it goes all static. I don't care if I have to pay money to record calls, even if there was a app that ran in the background that would put the records in a folder via the internal memory then I could export to my SD card. It's just crazy!

I appreciate the link but I don't think it's going to do me any good with my problem I'm having. I guess I'm just screwed! That is the only thing that I cannot get. Oh and I wish there way a way to tell what websites have been gone too from incognito, or a keylogger (which is against XDA rules) I know.
Have you solved this issue? I was looking into Mspy for an international S3, when you thread came up and made me think twice...

The international devices are completely different than the US variants.

I have NOT solved this issue. Not sure if it is the program I use or not.
I have the same situation, paying for mspy app (mspy.com) works great in one phone, but in the Galaxy S3 - works everything (Keylogger, record sourroundings, msgs, call logs) -
But when a call goes in or out (I can hear the sourrroundings) but when the call is answered I can only hear a loud and nasty static..
HOW CAN WE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE??

Thank you for bringing this back to my attention. I have since then moved her phone from the S3 to the Note 2 and it is still an issue. Assuming it would be the same problem on my Note 3. Obviously it is "Mspy" the program itself. I mean, don't get me wrong the program is amazing and does what it says it is supposed to do un other than the fact it is missing one huge implementation which was one of the major factors I purchased this program.

"Mspy" is NOT in the Playstore. Very expensive program you get from the website. Have tried getting in contact with them, I always get a, "we're currently trying to solve this issue" key word "trying". After this length of time, wouldn't they have fixed it by now if they cared?
So, basically unless someone can find a fix, then we're screwed! Thanks for the input guys, I've laid Mspy to rest.
