Has anyone been able to get call recording working on the Optimus G? I've tried a few things but can't seem to get it working correctly.
Would like to know the same.
I'm using "Call Recorder" on my phone (DInc), which requires a kernel patch to enable more sound routing options.
Recording the microphone input, which is a necessary feature that allows voice notes, voice search, video audio, etc. The sound to the ear piece or speaker can not be captured in software, partially/mostly because recording phone calls is illegal in many places.
Many (or possibly all except Call Recorder) work by recording the speaker through the microphone (you must put the call in speakerphone to work), and it usually sucks unless the volume is WAY up.
Yup, using the same program rooted. Except I noticed if you pick voice uplink/downlink it will record the other party perfectly until you speak into the microphone, then things get muffled. Hope there is a patch or workaround possibly..
You're using Skvalex's CallRecorder??? That's awesome news. Except for:

Could you give more details on "muffled?" (i.e. volume drops, sounds are garbled, which side does it affect, ...)
And which carrier's version are you using?

Im using the latest paid version from the play store. By muffled I mean it records incoming side audio perfectly until you speak into the microphone, then everything gets garbled and muffled. If you never say a word on your side of the conversation, then it will keep recording the incoming audio perfectly. This happens on no matter what setting you use ex. upstream, upstream and downstream, or just downstream. No other settings will record other tahn microphone setting and you have to use the speakerphone in order for it to record the incoming audio.
I'm late to the party on this, but has anybody tried using this app with the Alsa Mixer method. This works for a wide variety of phones that previously never had a call recording fucntion available to them. Follow steps in this order:
Step 1: Download busybox from playstore. Open app and make sure it's installed under the "xbin" location. Not just the "bin" location.
Step 2: Download Alsa Mixer from the playstore. Open app and install to phone.
Step 3: Download and install CallRecorder by Skvalex. Open app and make sure recording is set to "Alsa". If there's no success, try setting the phone up as different models.
Hope this helps.

Nothing works. I have exhausted everything I can think of. Problem is Alsa doesn't seem to work. It installs fine, but after launching the program it is blank. There is nothing in the GUI. You can't pick or set any options at all.

Hmmm... Almost sounds like the install actually failed if nothing appears within Alsa.

Shouldn't have to set any options. It should be just load and go.
Have you tried posting here for help to see if skvalex has any ideas?

Wait a minute... I was assuming that you have root? Am I assuming correctly?

Yup. I have root. Call recorder shows Alsa as being installed. But choosing it still doesn't get me any calls successfully recorded. Have you had any luck? If so, what did you do to get it working?

I may be WAY out-of-date with the kernel on this one... but isn't ALSA a kernel component? I don't remember where I read this, but I think el Goog does not enable/use ALSA for sound. I am assuming the ALSA app fails, because the kernel does not contain the module.
Darn locked bootloaders.

OK... I had it working for a little bit, but now it does not record anything.
I can see the request for root flash, but no call is logged by CallRecorder.
I'm rooted. I supposedly have ALSA installed... I've re-flashed my ROM several times, so I don't know if it's included in the ROM, or is CR needs a whack in the head to find the real installation (i.e. stale setting info).
Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?
Hello guys,
first off i want to thank everybody sharing their knowledge about the LG G3! I just got mine (D855) and found myself pretty satisfied with this device coming from a Samsung SGS4.
There is one issue i can not seem to find a solution for, the over-sensitive Microphone! No Matter if record a Voice msgs on Whatsapp, a Live Concert via Video or me Playing guitar, i also feel like the MIC Gain is way to high which most of the time leads to a distorted/cracking.
I know there are 2 possible reasons for that:
1. Mic Gain (preamp) is set to a very high value in general, so that the mic captures a too high input level in every app using it (video camera, phone calls, Voice Recorsers etc.)
-> It's a software based issue which needs a fix in the mic gain value's
2. The G3's Mic is just crap, a low-quality mic capsule which handles high impulses very poorly and distorts even BEFORE the signal is amped by the software.
-> Hardware based Issue which afaik can't be fixed.
I know the G2 had similar issues with it's mic picking up sound way to loud. I wonder why there is nobody complaining about the g3 yet. To me this is kind of a deal breaker, especially coming from an SGS4 which could easil record sound at a rock concert!
I hope somebody will dig into that problem and find a (hopelfully) software based solution!
Many Thanks in advance.
Best
Nik

Solution: Turn off the "from any screen" option for "OK Google" detection.
Google Now > Settings > Voice > "OK Google" detection > from any screen
Turned off it will still work in Google Now and on the home screen with the widget.
Calls are all clear now and everyone says they can hear me fine.

Tried that but still no improvement
Are you using a custom rom or kernel for your phone? If so it may be an issue with the rom . If using a custom kernel i believe you can modify mic / sound settings in Kernel Adiutor .

I'm on xdabbebs 46a firmware with his stock kernel
I also had a problem with the microphone. People say they do not hear me clearly, and as I say it cuts my words. It turned out that when the phone fell, some filter at the microphone jumped out of his seat. Repair time 30 minutes. Cost 10 €.

My Issue was with microphone, others can't hear me well
After a lot of search I understood LG G3 has 2 microphone for noise cancellation
Just I put a tape or blocking hole of Top Microphone. Now voila, Microphone works perfect
Hey Guys, recently week afther i ota updated phone from 4.22 to 4.42 phone got realy bad loudspeaker, low tones and bass sound almost like farting and no matter how loud i put volume for incoming call ringin, its realy silent, imposible to hear.
I think Factory deset might help it, but i cant lose one portant net banking application, if i reinstall that app i would need go to bank and wait some time.
Btw, i already replaced loudspeaker from phonepartsusa but still same distorsion
Just do an app backup with Titanium, JS Backup or similar.

I just got my hands to the LG G7+, this was bought on FlipKart(India). I have a strange issue that I am not able to disable the Camera shutter sound. I tried to put the phone on silent, vibrate, even do not distub, nothing works. The camera settings has no place where I can change this. Usually there is a shutter sound on or off toggle, but I cant find this in my phone.
How do I disable this? has anyone faced it and achieved success?
I am not sure if I am open for any rooting.
Please help.
Thanks,
V
Same issue wid me also, any1 to help...
I am not aware of any law in India which mandates this, so why LG?
I was reading in a few places that this happens if I use an Indian sim, I never used an Indian sim in my phone, I purchased it in India but i use it in UAE.
I have an European model. If I turn down the Ring volume, until muted (past Vibrate), the camera becomes silent.
The Ring volume, not the Media volume, not System volume, not Notification.

The ringer volume is already down when in silent or vibrate.
The app SilentCam Switch solved it for me.
I solved it with camera mute beta. Its notifications and badge can be also be deactivated via app options.

This works on my ULM 20e. Easier than figuring out TWRP/dm-verity/etc.

It is mandatory to keep camera sounds in some regions/countries for responsible use/prevent misuse. You will neither have the option to turn off the camera sounds nor silencing the phone would silence it.
Like many suggestions already mentioned here, a workaround to this is installing Forced MuteMode which will let you mute the whole device or selected apps with its Auto MuteMode feature.
has anyone tried with root and removing the audio shutter files?
i did and it doesn't work wth
My wife and I both have a Note 10+. Hers makes a shutter sound but mine doesn't.
Both UK sim free direct from Samsung.
How can I switch mine on? There is no option under camera settings where the YouTube videos say it should be - on either phone!
Check your sound/volume up is on?
As I like the shutter sound, I had not noticed this, mine sounds everytime, can not find how to turn it off!, mostlt to take pictures in silent places…

r u sure? Look below "storage location" in "camera settings"
No storage location nor shutter sound under camera settings on mine n10+ either (UK). Could be regional limitation

Simply turn the sound off or put it on vibrate sound mode
Open the Camera app, press the gear icon, and scroll down to the bottom. The third option from the bottom should be "Shutter Sound"
No not there - although I can't share the screen grab I took. But if it's a regional variation then why are our 2 different? (I.e one does it and one doesn't not that it's in either phone's menu)
it's there, Note 10+:
try clear caches, reboot etc... the last resort: factory reset, something must've happened during previous OTAs
[/ATTACH]
Mine's a Malaysian variant. Doesn't have that option.
I think its a regional thing here that has to do with privacy or discouraging stalking sort of thing.
Anyway, I found a workaround to gain control over the shutter sound. Under Volume, there should be 5 settings, I made sure the "System" channel was silent. That's the channel the shutter sound makes, along with the Charging sound etc.
(So to OP, check that volume setting)
Since I want the charging sound (but not the shutter sound) I got Tasker to play a sound for charging using the Ringtone channel.
So now I get a sound when I charge (wired and wireless), but my camera is silent.
Well, there are two versions, I pulled out both manuals, one for EU and the other for US and the EU version doesn't mention that shutter sound anywhere so, you have to call Samsung on that.

That's the mystery I'm intrigued by myself, what does the model number say on each phone? (Settings>About phone) and, most importantly, the camera software version(on the bottom of Camera App info) - if you don't mind sharing that
No shutter sound option available in my exynos note10+, Maybe it is a country related thing, just like the call recording limitations per country
It depends on your CSC (OMC). On my International Snapdragon Note 10 + with TGY or BRI CSC (the phone came with BRI which is Taiwan) the camera shutter sound toggle is not there but after flashing the T-Mobile OMC (thanks to MentalMuso) it shows up in camera settings as does call recording in the stock dialer. You need to be rooted to flash it as it's a Magisk module that changes the OMC to the carrier of your choice.
Ok, same serial number on both - SM-N975F but one with sound & one not, but neither with the option menu.
To make the camera silent/shutter sound off
Actually this is the only option available so far. N975F.
