Req: simple call recorder for SGSII

Hi all,
I almost put 2-3 days to investigate Apps for call recording on my SGSII. I installed many Apps on it, however, none of them seems working.
Bottom line is apparently, there is hardware limitation in Android which prevents accessing the incoming voice. and most of the programs work when voice is coming from the speaker.
This seems ridiculous! I mean, come on! I had Nokia 5 years ago and had nice Apps working perfectly for call recording with crystal clear quality.
If there is not such an App and if Android world is unable to perform such an easy task, I will definitely, switch back to Nokia.
Please let me know if you know any WORKING program with good quality without putting the phone on speaker.
Thanks for your time.

I believe total recall works if you select wav as the file format.

Their own website states that the speaker phone must be turned on. So I will keep looking Phone call recording
To record phone calls, start recording, and put the speaker on during the call. Please beware that this doesn't work on all devices.
To record incoming calls, uncheck Pause on incall in the advanced settings, start recording, wait for a call, and put the speaker on. Warning: this may cause certain phones to crash when the incoming call arrives." Need something for a sgh-t989

there are 2 fine solutions mate, that already works for me on stock rom (root required) or cm7:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall.s2.market
or
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder (pointed by nilsido, too)
both works wonderful.

What Groove IP Settings Do you use?

Looking to see who else out there is using Groove IP and what settings you have found to work the best. I can't seem to pin down the right combo so I am going to try crowdsourcing.

Are you having issues w/ sound distortion over WiFi?
The default settings work fine on most devices, and the changes I've made are minor.
Using version 1.2.21:
-Allow 3G/4G calling
-Accept calls on answer
-turned off DTMF feedback under Audio/Echo settings
-turned on Keep Screen On and Sync Voice under Troubleshooting

What are your Speaker and Mic gain settings? I am only calling over WiFi

Speaker vol: 10
Mic gain (bluetooth as well): 0
Echo Cancellation: On, with Auto Detect
I haven't noticed any issues on my end by tweaking these settings, but can also say things worked fairly well on default.

What kind of issues are you running into? Defaults should be good for the Galaxy Nexus. One thing to watch out for is by default the Galaxy Nexus puts the wifi into a power saving state when the screen turns off. You can change that from the android settings->wifi settings->advanced wifi settings, or enable Keep Screen Alive in GrooVe IP.

I get noticeable lags using Groove IP on my Galaxy Nexus. The extent varies - it's sometimes less than half a second, but often close to two seconds. Happens both incoming and outgoing. I am using the default settings except for the volume. If this matters, the lag is there both on Wi-Fi and 3G.
Phone: Galaxy Nexus (GSM Unlocked)
Carrier: T-Mobile
Region: Seattle
Any advice would be appreciated.

Few things can cause lag. First would be latency on the data connection. Apps running on the device that use cpu or data...or battery manager or task killer apps could also cause problems with calls. We are also working on a new update that should improve the in-app delay for audio. On our Galaxy Nexus it seems to work pretty good so far. I think we'll have a beta for it ready sometime this weekend. We'll likely be posting it on our facebook page when it's ready. Oh, something on the device going into a power saving state would also cause delay. Keep Screen Alive can help with that.

Thanks for the update! I will await the new beta version. I'll keep an eye out on your FB page.
Besides the Keep Screen Alive option, are there other options that may help reduce the lag? I see things like Synchronize Voice and Mic Buffer. For instance, will it reduce delay if I change the Mic Buffer size from medium (default) to small?
Thanks again!

Synchronize Voice can help, I don't really use it on the Nexus. Changing the mic buffer to small should also help, that's one of the things we're changing. Small seems still too large. So we're going to be adjusting small to be smaller and make it the default.

Might not be soon but it is something we're working on. Right now you can switch users pretty quickly by going into the menu and pressing change user. But that's not the same as supporting multiple accounts. Battery life is also an issue with multiple sign ins, still working on it.

Hey is this beta or new version addressing the latency available yet? I have an Epic Touch 4G & have tried everything (spoken to support repeatedly over email - thanks!) & still get 1-2 second delay. Difficult to have a normal conversation as we keep cutting each other off as we think we're done speaking.

The latest version on the market has all our improvements for latency. There will still be latency from your network or from the device. Stopping apps running in the background can improve the device latency.

Well I downloaded that version and most of that lag seems to be gone. Yippee!

I just purchased this after months of debate. Are there any settings to reduce the static on the other caller's end? I did some test calls with a friend's phone, except I was holding both devices in each hand. It doesn't matter who initiates the call, but they'll hear a static noise that doesn't happen if the call is made via mobile network. Could very well be Google Voice itself because people have mentioned it to me before before I purchased Groove IP, but I just want to be sure.
Also, sending and receiving bluetooth calls do work through my car stereo. But if I'm receiving a call, something is missing to tell the radio to pause/mute the music and start the ringer. The phone itself still rings and vibrates, but it's easy to miss a call if the music is loud enough. Is there an additional setting I'm missing? The function works properly if I'm using the regular phone app.

The static could be because both phones were in close proximity to each other. Have you tried it with normal calls?
For incoming calls were you using the native music app or another app like pandora? We broadcast that a call is being made or received, the native music app should detect that, but an app like pandora may not since the app isn't the same as the native phone system.

You mean to a landline? I haven't. I did try with another person a few hundred feet away with the same results. I also talked to someone else for a few seconds, but the only thing they asked was if I was whispering. After I had posted on here, I changed my settings to the ones recommended from the "other" forum: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32464-voip-apps/page__st__10#entry902020. My voice was probably just low due to the low mic gain setting, but I'll leave things the way they are until I get more comments from people's calls.
As for the bluetooth issue, I'm not using my phone to play music. The music is through the radio, which utilizes bluetooth to make phone calls. Normal operation of incoming calls cuts the audio and rings through the car speakers until I pick up. With Groove IP calls enabled, only the phone is ringing and the music/car audio is still playing (which is usually louder than the phone's ringer). Hope that clears things up a little.
Happy Holidays!

SIP Client for CM10.1

I am trying to find a SIP client that works on CM10.1 over wifi. I have tried the following:
CSipSimple(latest trunk): whenever I try to make a call it unregisters an re-registers so nothing happens. When I try to receive a call it unregisters and re-registers.
SIPDroid: Try to make an outgoing call and for some reason it goes to the lockscreen while making the call. If the other end picks up I hear nothing and I have to force stop the app to end the call. With an incoming call the same thing happens. Locks the screen, I try to answer and it's dead air on both ends and the only way to end the call is to force stop.
Zoiper: It registers but there is no audio either way on incoming calls. On outgoing calls I can hear the other party but they can't hear me. I have the codecs set correctly.
Has anyone gotten SIP/VOIP to work on this phone with CM10.1?

What ROM are you using? I'm using the CM 10.1 nightly from a few days ago. I've tried PBXes.org and I get the same issue. When I try to make an outgoing call it unregisters and then registers again a few seconds later but the call is never made.

I do a lot of VOIP work and it almost sounds like you don't have the ports open to your phone box. If you're on asterisk TCP/UDP 5060-5080 and UDP 10001-20000 to get audio to work. Just a stab into the dark.

Just found one that works with CM10.1 (I'm on 06/02/2013nightly), MizuDroid. Works great so far and has tons of options!

As you might already know, you have to change some Sound settings first, especially if you want calls through the ear piece. I believe this is why the built-in SIP client in CM10.1 doesn't work, it's using the wrong audio inputs/outputs.
The Audio recorder should be set to use the mic, not default or auto guess (Voice call, Voice downlink, Voice uplink, Voice communication don't work either). The Audio player to use System sounds (only option that routes the call through the ear piece). Speakerphone player is set to Music playback, and Speakerphone output to Speaker Forced, although Speaker works also.

Groove IP works.
Csipsimple doesnt.

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.

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.

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!

Bluetooth calls

Is anyone having a problem with their bluetooth where it will connect and work just fine playing music, but doesn't work good when talking on the phone? I am running stock rooted rom with EX kernal if that helps. Music plays flawlessly, but calls sound like there is bad static, almost like the call is about to drop, but I have full service and it does it everytime. It didn't do this when I first got it and I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix for this.

I am mostly using bluetooth headset for calls and have not had any issues with the call quality.
1) When via bluetooth the quality of a call is bad, then turning it off during call, makes the sound better?
2) What is your carrier?
3) Do you have VoLTE enabled or as soon as you start a call, the LTE drops to H/3G?

I have VoLTE, but I am on T-Mobile. For the past couple of days I have been hearing some noise while talking on the phone, but it was there regardless of using bluetooth headset or not. Maybe T-Mobile was doing something to network, but now the noise is gone. Don't know if Sprint has that. Do you have in settings>more>cellular - menu item/switch named "Enhanced 4G LTE..."?

You may have to get a new Bluetooth device I had this issue with the lg tone hbs- 730 on my n5x then it died so I had to buy a new one and I bought the lg tone hbs-800 and its just fine.also u may want to try and reset your Bluetooth device that's solved this issue for me in th e past

I've used Bluetooth calling mainly with my car and it's been fine. A couple calls through a Bluetooth workout ear buds was okay.
