Hi. There's a few call recording apps in the market but IMHO none are that great, and most of them haven't been updated for 2.0 yet. With N1 hardware is it possible to build a better, solid app? I do a lot of interviews over the phone (am a researcher) so something like this would be golden.
isnt this illegal? oo, unless you tell them the conversation could be recorded.
I was using Air Voice on the HTC Hero, and as said, it is broken on Android 2.x.
I am so looking for this kind of app on the Nexus one.
Google Voice can do it, I think... See here. I just read through it, but I'm not exactly sure what the restrictions are. Basically you just press 4 during or before your conversation, but a note at the bottoms says:
"Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail."
But it doesn't mention anything about if you place a call using your phone. I don't know if this helps you any, unless you make the interviewer call you first
Ultimate Voice Recorder v2.3.4 Will get 'er done.
Tasker also will do the trick. It's not in the Market yet [get it here] but it was one of the top three utilities in ADC2. It's like Locale on steroids. Takes a bit to get used to but it's amazing
Thanks for the input.
1) Google Voice only records on calls made to you GV number. I'm not really using GV yet (except for voicemail), and most of the calls I initiate.
2) Ultimate Voice Recorder -- not clear to me its been upgraded for Eclair. I've contacted the developed, but we'll see -- its reviews are middling.
3) Tasker. Wow, I've just downloaded it, and don't know about its recording capabilities, but everything else, damn, it could change a lot of the way I use my phone. Thanks for that rec!
The way tasker is worded it sounds like it only records your outgoing voice.
+1 on Ultimate Voice Recorder
I believe the problem is Android does not let you intercept the incoming audio during a call. I'd love to see a framework change for rooted phones that would allow this. After all there are plenty of countries that don't think its odd for you to be able to record your own conversations with someone.

If you have Verizon or AT&T, maybe you can ask the US Gov't for all your conversations. They record all of them and store them in a US data base and have been doing it since before 2000.
Tmobile was the only one who said ..."Warrant please".
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I still haven't forgotten.

Hello everyone,
I currently have the latest rom from cyanogen and was wondering if someone could hack this Voice plus beta rom(I just received from TMOBILE). So we can all use the new features on a rooted G1,Mytouch!
yea, I'm dying to test this too but am afraid will lose root... any solution?!?
It's just better call quality which is achieved by flashing that new radio from the DM blah blah that Tmo released.Don't bother with unrooting it's still 1.6 not 2 point anything.

No dude not that update!
Here are the new features with this:
T-Mobile Voice Plus Beta Features:
* Call Divert: Carve out a little peace and quiet by sending selected numbers straight to voicemail without ringing your phone.
* Call Defer: Let callers know you’re busy and schedule a convenient time for you to call them back. Send them a text message that acknowledges their call and that you will respond at a later time.
* Visual Voicemail: Easily manage your voicemail! View a list of who left a voicemail, with the time of the message and its length. Choose which to listen to now and which to review later.
* City ID: Get more information about the calls you receive. The city and state information of incoming calls is displayed.
Yes you WILL lose root. Here is the file if anyone wants to try to un-nbh it, having problems with un-nbh'ing it myself, but maybe you'll have better luck.

I awlays thought that it was crappy of the G1 that I couldnt see who left the voicemail only the damn icon. Made me almost wish I had my bb storm back
All of these features have already been done. I mean, send calls directly to voicemail? There's an option for that in stock Android...
Call defer might be new. haven't seen an app that does it.
Visual Voicemail has been a T-Mo app in the market for over a year.
City ID has been an app in the market since a month after launch.
I think that you can extract .nbh files, but I can't figure out how.

Better yet, sign up for Google Voice, and get text transcription as well.

I mean come on how MANY voicemails do you actually get? i get maybe 2-4 a month if that!
Just wait a bit enom will more than likely release this, as he does with all the OTA updates and Official Carrier ROMs. Its common sense you will LOOSE ROOT if you install. Everytime a new ROM or update appears, I keep seeing the same question. It isnt worth loosing ROOT over, just to see what city someone is calling? Come on its good news, but thats all it is
I joined the beta test team.
I joined, but I don't wanna flash it. They combined the Tmo OTA with the app downloader for the beta plus apps. i wish they had just put out the app. i've got the NBH file ripped out with a program called psas. but now the files are .nb files. I have SDK installed, but really have no idea what I'm doing. just need to open the system.nb file I guess..
Help??
Yeah...and then on top of the fact that it wasn't just an app like was suggested when we signed up for the beta, the beta release actually has a bug where you can't install the maps update...I mean really, why wouldn't you make the ROM with the latest software installed already for your testers...It can't be to difficult, the Chefs here do it in their spare time for free.
can anyone make a .zip of this..?? i only want the features... not to lose root
I'm trying

I've got the rom pulled apart so I could get the app out of it, but I'm stuck after breaking down the .nbh file. I have a few files now, system.nb, radio.nb, boot... and a few others.
I just can't figure out how to get into these files and pull the apps out.
all we need is the tmo app downloader to download the voice mail plus app...
I singed up to beta test, but I'm not loosing root to do it!

probably rename to .img and unyaffs.
I just flashed it. Its kinda nice actually. When you get a phone call 3 buttons popup answer defer and voicemail. I tried the defer button and you can do a one touch text like call back later or in a meeting. Witch is good for driving I guess (I text and drive anyway) visual. Voice mail is adder as an extra tab in contacts menu way better then the visual voice mail alp in the market. Wonder if I will get over the air updates with this build? Clashing the nbh was strange also seemed to have an extra step then a normal nbh found here for rc29 or atleast mine did it twice? Other then that its stock. Wish it was 2.1
edit
Sorry for the spelling guys I'm on my phone......
gOSH, i want this.. come on devs! rock this! show this t-mo bastards who the bosses are (the customers), lol!
i would love the visual voicemail app... we dont have anything like that in canada yet (except iphone) .. might have to grab this rom and play with it once i get home..
Developers,
Is there any way to make Visual Voice Mail work with Goog Voice instead? I refuse to pay $2/mo on TOP of $29/mo for VVM. Should be free in my opinion. I'd like to redirect VVM to contact GV instead so I don't have to go into the GV app to see my vm's.
Thanks.
I do the same and have the google voice app on my phone. But 9 times out of 10 im on a PC anyway and check it there.
just install the official google voice app from the market, it will walk you through on setting up no-answer call forwarding so when you dont pick up it forwards to your google voice vmail box.
comes in handy when you can just glance at the transcript and decide if its worth listening to

I might be misunderstanding -- but why is this needed? There's a dedicated app for Google Voice that works great, and you can remove VVM entirely when rooted. I'm confused why anyone would want to use an app specifically designed for one service on a different service, when a perfectly good app exists for that different service... is it just an aesthetic thing?
Absolutey don't mean to be rude, just trying to understand the reasoning!

Well, maybe it's me, but I don't like having to go into two diff. apps to get the job done. I HATE having to switch apps to get this done. Not only that, but going into the Messaging app, and not being able to use part of it (I can't remember off the top of my head, but maybe dialer also) just reminds me of how much Verizon is trying to nickel and dime me. We pay $30 extra a mo. for service. That should be ALL inclusive, but NO! $2 extra for voice mail, $5 extra for messages, $30 extra for tethering... I mean seriously?
And seeing that non-working VVM in the Messaging/Dialer just extremely P!$$3$ me off! Not to mention that even though GV is GREAT, and well interfaced, it still doesn't work as seamlessly as the telco's original.

Google voice is not directly linked to your cell phone number.. Google voice assigns you a number and then links it up to your phone. It's true though that you can get google voice to act as your visual voice mail provider for the cell phone number you have.. but it is a bit buggy..
I am with the OP.. if there is a way to use the built in VVM without paying..I'll be all over it.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the buggy part.... Google Voice works really well (been using it for 2 months). It's free and has more features than Verizon. To be honest, I thought the Verizon VVM was a lot more buggy than Google's.
My 2 cents...
I used youmail on my blackberry, and its only better on the incredible.

I second that- I set up GV to be my VM service for my cell and even set up personalized greetings for almost everyone in my contact list. The transcriptions are not perfect, but i get the gist- and if I'm really curious, I just listen to the VM.

Although nowhere is it clear cut on what "development" actually scopes, it has been the senior mods practice to keep development to ROM cooking/system hacking. Since this is clearly an app thread, I am moving it to the correct forum, yet leaving it linked in development. Please keep the above in mind before starting a new thread. This is not a reprimand, just some info and reminder. Thanks
so is there any way to get the visual voicemail that comes preinstalled on the Dinc free? i want to use it because the GV is laggy on mine but i dont want to pay the 2.99 a month for it.

Here we go with the legality BS in this thread.
Let's LEAVE THAT UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO DETERMINE THEIR LEGALITY. Every phone recorder thread devolves into argument about it.
As for why it won't record; most HTC devices you can't record the caller unless it's on speakerphone, and in which case I assume you hear them through the microphone.

Most companies tell you they are recording the call so you alreadt have permission. Otherwise thwy say they are monitoring it and then you would need permission. However I agree Leave it to the individual
That is recording through the microphone, Korean Galaxy S records within the system (i.e. better quality)...

tried ALL market available apps and none works.
In some countries it is illegal.
In Spain (my country) is not legal (which does not mean it is illegal), but can not be used as evidence in court if the other party was unaware that it was recording, but you can record conversations to own use (if you are a seller is a good idea and save you taking notes)
I have started this project: http://call-recording-on-android.com/
Please, leave your comments!
Google VOice?
Google Voice only works on USA.
I'm with bartito, I'm from Spain and you can record a call for your own or even if you comunicate to the other part the call is recording you can use it as evidence.
This is frustrating I'll not buy another phone without this functionality.
Not many apps out there that can record audio streams other than from the microphone...yet there is an API for that:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.AudioSource.html
HTC users look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9545175&postcount=112
See that why I love Texas only one party on the phone has to be aware that its being recorded for it to be legal. So if you know your recording it that's all that matters.

Wow, this amazing project I found it very interesting.
Hi all!
I'm virtually 100% an Android convert, putting it on my HD2 a week ago and barely looking back!
One of the few things I do need Windows Mobile for, though, is using a small application called LowCaller (lowcaller.com). This allows me to call contacts via my Voipcheap account but rather than going via the internet connection (WiFi, 3g) it calls a 020 (London) number and then directs me to the person I'm calling.
This means I get perfect quality international calls no matter where I am and I only use my inclusive contract minutes.
I've tried to contact LowCaller via their website but I can't get through to them (the damn verification code is always apparently wrong!) so can't find out if they have an Android version in the pipeline. They appear to support WM, iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian so an Android version would be very logical on their part!
Any alternatives?
Thanks!
I tried SipDroid with my SIP.
Can't hear anything on my end, maybe you have better results?
You can try Nimbuzz or Fring, and then add your VoipIP provider
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions but these apps/messengers are solely for calling via Voip directly to another party, as opposed to calling a local number which then, via my Voip account, directs to another party (meaning that I can do it from anywhere without the need for an internet connection, and with perfect results - no lag, cut outs, etc.)
LowCaller is fantastic because I've driven around towns and countryside in England while talking via bluetooth to my friend in Canada on her mobile - the quality was practically like that of any normal call!
It works like this,
I select 'Call via LowCaller' from my phonebook > My phone calls an 020 London number owned by LowCaller > The call gets routed to the number of the person I'm calling and I lose my inclusive minutes just like any normal call.
I think rebtel might do what you need
I use jajah (jajah.com) . It works like you described. Sort of. They give you a local nr for all your foreign contacts. So there is no app but you just dial the unique local nr and your friend in timbuktu answers the phone.

Come on guys!!
The guys is asking you about LowCaller in Android, and you recommend jahjah and Rebtel!!!!
JahJah and rebtel make a newnumber for each contact!! This is pain. You dont want to make a new number for each contact!!
We dont want to use 3g or wifi! we want to use a landline number.
So please, if you know anything exactly similar to lowcaller, please answer. Otherwise, DO NOT give bad recommendations!!
Afaik, rebtel does exactly what he asked for. I don't think you need to set up different no.s for different contacts, it just routes all international calls through a local no.

Bump!
Still no Android support from LowCaller. Any developments here guys?
Remember I'm after a LowCaller-type setup, i.e. I'm using my contract minutes to call a national number that will connect me to another number via my Voip account.
So stuff that simply makes calls via WiFi/3g isn't what I'm after (but thanks for the suggestions)

Hi keesvl55 - I've installed CcApp but can't work out how to (or if I'm able to) set it up to work with VoipCheap. I seem to be only able to add calling cards, which aren't what I'm using.
Looks like we're getting there anyhow!
I wonder if LowCaller will ever release a Droid version or update any of their current versions? It seems they never updated their WM client to work with 6.5.X, hence why I've always stuck with regular ol' 6.5, so maybe all hope is lost for them to come out with something themselves?
I guess another way would be to save the numbers LowCaller assigns my international contacts with in WM. I'm unsure, however, just how long these stay valid for before another gets assigned.
BUMP!
2,000 views so I can't be the only one after a LowCaller port / clone for Android!
I've noticed LowCaller's contact form on their website is working again now:
http://lowcaller.com/en/contact.php
Go there and request they release an Android version to the marketplace.
If you type "LowCaller" into Google now the first suggestion is "lowcaller android" or "lowcaller for android" - there's obviously a big demand so let's get harassing their developers!
Lord knows I might even click an ad or two should the need arise!

Christ! I think you may be right. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. Great spot !
Just a follow up to any one of the trillions Googling and finding this thread - as suggested above Betamax Dialer (now found on the market) looks like the way to go. The only difference I see between this and LowCaller is that with this you have to specify your Voip retailer's (e.g. voipcheap) local access number, so you only use that one number as opposed to a different landline number for each of your contacts in LowCaller.
I've bought Betamax Dialer Pro to show my support for a developer actually creating a Betamax local-calling client though I'm not sure exactly how the "call-2-call" or whatever it's called feature works. Guess I'll have a play around and see!
Under £1 on the market for Pro if anyone wants to try.
Thanks again 90180360.

The problem I have is that it doesn't integrate in the phone's dialer.
Also, if you want to choose a contact, it has to populate the contact list each and every time.
I still prefer to just save those contacts I want to call by VOIP as ACCESSNUMBER Pause PHONENUMBER in my phone book.
Works perfectly, no additional software needed.

Yes nice one, will try this when I get home
Can any one advise this as its not listen in the 3G Specs..
By default no, but there has been talks about possibly getting it to work and a lot of people have success getting Line2 (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.toktumi.line2&feature=search_result) to work on it but requires you to even find the APK somewhere or download it on another android phone and copy the APK file off it.
I am looking for a core 2 Andriod 3.0 with at least a 7.1 or 10.1 screen...
Have to be able to make call.
Any recommendations..
I don't think you're going to find that anywhere.
Good luck with that, last I checked there were no tablets out there (at least in terms of Android 3.0+) that will allow you to make phone calls with them unless you use Skype (or mod it to allow making phone calls nativity.
I have heard that Samsung Galaxy Tab does allow you to make phone calls but I haven't tested myself and don't know if the newer Tab 10.1 (not sure if it's out yet or not) will support the phone features either since the Tab 10.1 will have 3.0.
I'm sure other members on this forums will step in to correct me if I'm wrong at anything I've said here but this is what I've saw so far.
I had some limited success with nettalk and my Google Talk phone number. Could connect with my home phone but my husband said it was very echo-y. I'm wifi only so it can be done. I'm going to try Line 2.

you have to be logged out of Google talk on your xoom. Also, make sure that in your gv settings you have it set to google chat rather than your mobile number. Not sure if that made any sense, but they explain it step by step in the help section.
is that video calling or just voice?

How can I get the google chat to show up rather then the mobile number because I do not have that option. The only options I see are my mobile number and add this phone, nothing else.

My problem was that I was logged into google talk on my xoom.

I forgot about that. Well I am there on the web browser version of voice and I am a bit confused as to what I need to do exactly. Am I setting up a new number? I still don't see anything about google chat. I'm not a noob to technology by any means but never tried to set up calling on my Xoom until now because I never had the need for it. I do appreciate the help a lot.

Not really sure. When I go to google voice on my browser and then click on the setting tab in upper right corner and then choose voice settings, I can then click on the phones tab, that is where I am able to choose google chat.
Hope that helps, that's about all I got.
I will add that my calls work a lot better for the other party when I use bluetooth.

Dang... I just remembered a long time ago I deleted the google chat from my registered phones list because I didn't think I would ever need to use it. So that would mean I would have to add it back, but... yeah. If I try to add another phone it gives me the name to choose and I need to set a number for it, and I have no idea what the number would be for google chat. Thanks for the quick responses though! I'll try and figure out what to do next. And I have 2 nice bluetooth headsets and they do work great!

No problem.
I would just try to add a new phone and call it google talk, that seems to be the only settings on mine.
Good luck.

Good luck with that, last I checked there were no tablets out there (at least in terms of Android 3.0+) that will allow you to make phone calls with them unless you use Skype (or mod it to allow making phone calls nativity.
I have heard that Samsung Galaxy Tab does allow you to make phone calls but I haven't tested myself

The legacy Galaxy Tab does let you use a GSM sim card and allow one to make phone calls as well as access EDGE/3G data...i helped a friend set up his tab a couple of weeks ago and can confirm this....im located in Mumbai, India...and the versions available here do allow the ability to also use it as a phone..

i believe its the kernel that is stopping it from possible.
at the momenet, honeycomb is designed to be a tablet OS, hence it didn't include the Phone's feature in the system.
for galaxy tab, (the older one), it running on Gingerbread which a Phone OS, hence it can be easily enable the phone feature.
i believe we need to wait till Ice Cream where it unite Gingerbread and Honeycomb, so that it has the phone's feature in the system and can be enabled easily.
Hey All
Just thought I'd add to this old topic. I have an Australian 3G Xoom, on the American 3.1 update, with my settings pushed back for 3G etc.
Tonight I installed the UAString/SMS mod, so that I could send SMSes (which work perfectly with Handcent, over the Telstra 3G network - just like any mobile phone would do). Then I tried calling my tablet. This also worked perfectly! The call came up, it connected, etc. I answered and this is where we hit trouble. No sound. Either way. So the Xoom doesn't have a microphone/speaker set up for sound during a call. I even tried setting the Xoom on speaker phone, but still nothing.
Any ideas? Not sure if this has been posted about before, and I thought it was pretty exciting, to be making normal calls, and SMSes (there is all this talk about Google Voice, which is useless outside of the US) on the Xoom, and this was very exciting for me.
