Call recorder issue - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have any experience with using the call recorders? I've been using the same call recorder and maybe 2 or 3 updates ago the person on the other line is so loud that it distorts their voice to the point where you can't make out a word they are saying. I use this for work and really would like to get it working again, I've had no help from the developer. Does anyone know if there is a way to go into the build of the app and tweak the volume settings for the incoming caller so it's not distorted?

[Q] No one can hear me in call

No one can hear me talking on my phone.
It does not matter if I call someone or they call me.
I know my microphone works because it works in sound recorder.
Noise cancellation is turned off.
I have searched the forum and found a few threads but most are about noise cancellation and just a registry edit or cab to disable it.
I used energy rom and then switched back to the default rom and it still has the problem.
I do not know if it is a problem with the dialer or what but it has been about 2 months and I can not for the life of me figure out what is wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
when you use the recorder it sometimes block the mic. , if you uninstall the recorder you will be fine i guess.
Thank you for the response but I do not thing the recorder is the issue. I feel like it is a problem with the dailer or the network since the mic is working in other programs.

No sound when making a call

Have this annoying problem that when I when I make a voice call the person on the other side hears my voice but I can't hear theirs. When this happens I also can't hear the dial tone before the one way conversation starts. 1 out of 4/5 calls this happens
Does anyone experience the same problem?

hi i have been having this problem on various 4.2 and 4.3 aosp roms. after a lot of trial and error i found that the in call sound worked if some sound was played before dialing or receiving for the first time. it could be touch pad sound or unlock sound or dial pad sound. as i dont enable any of these i used tasker to play a short sound immediately after every boot and the in call sound has become consistent after using this method
hope this helps

Mic problem

Does anyone else have problems with their mic when answering incoming calls? I answer the call but the person on the other end can't hear me regardless if the speakerphone is on. I'm forced to en the call and then call them back. The person has no problems hearing me at that point.
I've used voice recorder to test the mic and it picks up my voice no problem.
Thoughts?

That's odd. Sounds like a hardware problem. You can try a few simple things like try flashing a different rom and see if you have the same problem.
Or you can take it in to the Sprint Store and see if they can repair it

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 dislike anything xposed. Just not worth the hours it takes to track stuff down when it goes bad.
AWESOME G3
Yes call recording will work natively. The only issue is the other person sounds REALLY bad.

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:

Are you on a ODEX rom? If so rename LGIncallUI.odex and LGTeleService.odex.
I use boldbeast in the play store on mode four. Has automatic or manual.

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!

Hangouts Dialer issues

Since I ported my number into Google Voice, I have been using Hangouts Dialer as my go-to voice service on my S3. My calls will usually connect after a 3-5 second pause. I can then hear the other person crystal clear, but they can only hear my voice garbled and extremely low volume. It doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or mobile data. It doesn't matter if I make the call or receive the call. I am currently using PAC-man ROM 4.4.4.RC-3. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to solve it? Is there anyone who has been using Hangouts Dialer regularly that does not have this issue that can maybe help? Thank you!
OK, so after further testing I have discovered that Hangouts is using the wrong microphone for audio. It seems to be using the speakerphone microphone (at the top of the phone) instead of the handset microphone at the bottom. Is there any way to switch the microphone that is being used for just this application?
