Hi there i have noticed that ppl want to record their phone conversation so here is the trick i got from Pocket PC email.
Recording phone calls
Here's a neat trick you can do with your Pocket PC Phone Edition that you probably can't do with your old phone. Did you know you can record single phone conversations or keep track of conference calls with your Pocket PC? This would come in very handy if you would like to remember exactly what a conversation was about, days after the conversation had taken place! Of course, you can also use it to make sure you get what you are promised when you call your telephone company to sort out your account!
Before you do this, you should be aware of the laws in your area regarding recording phone conversations. You should also tell the person you are talking to that you are going to record the phone conversation. Having done that, read on...
To record a phone call, start the phone call as per normal, then once you have started the phone call, open the notes application (tap the button), tap New from the menu bar at the bottom, and tap the button. You should see the recording bar at the bottom of the screen.
Simply tap the record button to record the conversation.
You may get variable results depending on the device you are using, and may not be able to use this at all on some devices - particularly older ones.
... or you can just press a record button after establising a call.
On most devices this would record only sound coming to microphone, so other party sound volume would be low. This has been discussed several times before.
also it does record only in WAV files & still the recording length is limited to a certain maximum length!

Seems to me that what people would like is (NaturalRecorder)

But this is only Compatible with Nokia Series 60
unless some one knows how to adapt it
if i am recording a call using the Notes application i can hear my voice ver clear but i can't hear the other end.. how to improve that?
this method does not work with magician

Guys, I've just had a thought about this problem (recording/playing sound from/to the phone)
How does the bluetooth profile work? This is redirecting audio through the bluetooth stack to the headset.
Would it be feasible to write a dummy bluetooth profile that would merely redirect audio in/out back to the local device, so that we can record it etc?

I once recorded conversation using Resco Audio recorder V 3.2...one can listen the other party sound.. relatively better than the notes application...
But I guess this will work much better in quiet surroundings..
Have anyone tried Simbsoft Voice Recorder?

Anyone any thoughts on the bluetooth profile idea?
Concensus is that it is not technically possible otherwise to record the phone through current software and drivers; I haven't tried other recording software, but that's not what I'm talking about...

It could work if someone can write a virtual BT driver, which would actually buffer the incoming & outgoing audio streams & write them to a WAV or MP3 file..
By the way, Resco Audio Recorder can record both parties in a conversation! I just tried it now on my JAM
ezzkht - re buffering Audio, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. I know some of the guys on the board are working on a bluetooth stack replacement. I guess I better post a new thread on this subject.
Re Resco: is it recording internally, or through the microphone and speaker? eg, is it dependant on how loud the phone volume is?

(RESCO) It does not depend on the volume of the phone! thats why i liked it 8)
Give it a try, http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/default.asp
That's very interesting. I'll look into it.

this would not work. GSM audio outputs are physically connected directly to BT chip and data does not go through any driver.
mamaich - thanks! Didn't know that. What do you think about Resco audiorecorder recording both sides? I've not heard of that before.
V
Thanks mamaich! I never knew that
So how could Resco Audio Recorder capture both streams together..?
BTW, as far as one-button recording start is concerned, you may want to check out the "One-button recording? Does it need to show the app window?" row in the article "Everything you may need to know about sound recording on the Pocket PC": http://pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/112005SoundRecorderApps.asp
Almost all sound / audio recorder applications know this trick.

It works very well on my Universal! It automatically records calls! I take the recorded files and have my secretary transpose them to text. Audio level is very good.
Hello. I am new to the forum, so I hope this particular topic hasn't already been covered before. I did some looking and couldn't find anything.
I am looking to jump into an HTC smart phone (or a PDA phone of some kind), but the one feature I would most like to see addressed is whether the phone can also double as a digital recorder. I know there's a voice record microphone built directly into the phone itself, but I'm after something more along the lines of an external jack.
A bit of background:
I'm a writer and often find myself recording either a) in person interviews or b) telephone interviews. I am currently using a Sony MD to record both by way of a microphone that plugs in directly to the MD or a jack system that allows me to plug into a normal land-line phone. It usually works fine, but my MD is getting to be of age and is, as such, increasingly less reliable.
I don't want to record phone conversations that I'm having on my HTC itself (though that would also be beneficial), but rather as an option to simply plug into it (via a straight microphone or USB jack) and record.
Is this possible? That's the question. I've been doing a lot of research and haven't found anything conclusive and would appreciate some feedback to that end. And if not, why not? Between a smart phone's capacity to write word documents, take pictures and, hopefully, record (from phone, microphone, etc.) this would be the tool many journalists would undoubtedly want to have.

notes let one record from the mic
i'd asume that the input for wired headset mic also works with that recorder
if not then i'd guess it is bipassing the pda and goes directly into the gsm part
but i'd think it would work out of the box
headset mic and built-in mic
The question about the headset mics I have seen, though, is whether they'd pick up a telephone conversation. And then it's not a dedicated line-in, but part of a headset attachment, anyway. I just want a dedicated line in specifically for recording from an external source i.e. not any convo on the phone.
More to the point
Is there a microphone-only line in (dedicated or USB variety) available for a smart phone?
yuriy, pls read my past sound recording articles, i have answered all your questions in them
Do you have a link to those articles?

Found 'em
"Well... yes and no. Depends. Unfortunately, very few of the recent PPC PDA's (the Toshiba e series, the Asus A730/730w, the Dell x50v/x51v, the above-mentioned Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket Loox 720 and the iPAQ 5450/5550/hx4700) have a direct mike input ring in their headphones jack. Furthermore, this input is mono only - there're no PDA's with stereo sound inputs at all."
I don't really care that it's a mono jack, frankly; I am not trying to reproduce stuff as an audiophile. But which models can I plug a mike into directly to begin recording? I'm actually a little amazed that this issue has required so much digging; I would thought this would have been a natural, easy-to-understand feature included on every smart phone.
i remember in the past... i ve seen some SD card for reporters or so, with in and outs...
but my new tytn has only microSD :-(
i would be glad to have in any way line in as well... and as hell! ;-)
please keep this going here, and the big search as well...

Any word on this?
Hi folks,
At the moment I use my windows mobile phone as an MP3 player and GPS device for my motorbike.
When I have a passenger, they too can listen to my mp3 player and satnav through their earphones (simple splitter used). I have a microphone installed in my helmet for taking calls.
However, being able to speak to a passenger is impossible through this setup, at the moment.
I'm looking for a simple program or registry key that makes the phone playback, in realtime, any sounds picked up on the microphone. This would allow me to tie it to a button, and thus be able to talk to my passenger as we ride.
Anyone know of anything that might help?
(Note - I can't program for my mobile phone, so the searches I've done that revealed API calls and the like can't help me).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Quick bump on this in case anyone missed it...
I'm playing with Skype so I can take it to Afghanistan with me. I will primarily us my PC but really want to use my cell phone as well, this will be most helpful in airports and such where I don't want to pull out the computer.
My problem is Skype on Windows mobile you have to use a headset. Does anyone have experiance with this? I tried just using my iPod head set because it they were just laying there but still could not hear any sound. Is there a special set of headphone we need to use with the HTC Dongles or something along those lines? Do I need the headsets with microhone built in?Thanks a bunch!
you can use app named audioroute to forward the sound to your earphone so no need for headset
And you can use Nimbuzz. It supports also skype and it routes it to the earpiece. And do not support neither taliban or western saviours, they're both wrong
never tried skype but i know that the plantronics voyager 855 is a bluetooth earpiece with mic.
Troca2
Troca2 is a simple exe that works very well, switching to earpiece voip/skype calls.
Run it, when it shows a white screen with at the bottom written OK, run voip/skype and make your calls.
When you finish your calls tap OK on that white screen, troca2.exe shut down and you can use your phone as always.

Is this even possible with One Plus 7?
I see a lot of YouTube videos that claim it is possible on other devices. It involves use of an app called BT Mono (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bedoig.BTmono) and downloading the Open Camera app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera). Steps involved are :
1. Using the BTmono app select the on switch and adjust required volume
2. In open camera, select audio input as "external" and record
Clearly, it works in the videos. It doesn't on One Plus 7 probably because
1. BTmono is not updated to Android 10. I couldn't find any alternative to that.
2. I suspect One Plus doesn't support BT recording. I mailed them but no reply despite reminders.
In a separate mail, support said that you can do this by wired headphones or headsets but that doesn't suit me. I want to record videos of classroom as a teacher explaining things on the white board and be able to move around. This rules out other solutions like wired headphones /headsets/ wired lavalier mics. UHF wireless solutions are too expensive
Another reason I want to use BT is that I have an old sound cancelling Bose BT ear phone that is ideal since it minimise noise.
I have spent many many hours reading up, experimenting with different BT pieces /apps
I would love to have a working solution for this ASAP (it involves students learning and I am not charging them for all my efforts because of the Covid 19 situation)
