I'm requesting a phone call recorder that records internally instead of using the mic to record speaker output. A dev has a functional version that works on the Hero:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806451
but this doesn't work on the Evo. I'm not sure if the method/exploit used to make that work is available on the Evo.
This is something I would be willing to pay for, as I actually have a need for this application. I'd like the app to be able to record these calls discreetly, in that it won't notify the other party that the call is being recorded. The dev could put a disclaimer in the program stating that the app is to only be used for lawful recordings, that the user is responsible for consulting their particular state's/country's laws to be sure their recording is within the limits of the law, and that the the developer bears no responsibility for any misuse of the app.
If anyone is willing to take on this project, or if there's one that exists (I have searched, extensively), please let me know.

Have you seen "phone recorder" on the market its free. Theres also one called "super call recorder" $1.50
Neither of them work, and I believe both are based on raising the speaker volume and just recording mic input. I'm trying to find an app that records internally.

I think a more accurate way to say it would be that neither of them work very well. That being said, I'm also very interested in something like what's being requested because what I've found out there is next to worthless...I would pay a bit for it too. If anybody has any suggestions on something that does work 'well' ( a subjective term I know ) then I'm sure we would all love for you to share!
me too
In fact, I think I have an idea for a workable hack that would sort this out. I would finance an experienced developer to deliver this tool. PM me if you are game.
why not just buy this application?

Did anything come from this? I'm still looking for a solution for my EVO 4G...that works well!

Give this a try, it seems like it works on some phones but not others. Main issue is that with some phones it will record one side of the call but not the other. Hopefully your phone is one of the ones it works properly on.

Maybe anthrax kernel? I think i saw it records 2-way calls or something
Try allcallrecorder, works well on my side and it's free
Sent from my GT-I9220 using xda premium
I think it has to do with the kernel and the actual phone. I've seen posts where some phones work well and some don't. My EVO has not been able to use any app out there to date. I'm always up for trying more...
I use Call Recorder on my EVO, its the app plus an appropriate kernel, currently I am on
MikG 3.11
Loinfish aggressive 1.8 (original version with auto brightness lowered)
I believe freedom kernel and anthrax are compatible. You must find a kernel that clearly states two way call record

i am using nexus one(rooted).
i just heard someone said a rooted nexus one can use call recording apps,but i can't find any apps that works on my android.
Can anyone suggest me a apps?
Airvoice is awesome, but will only work on certain roms. I haven't tried it on 2.1 yet, but I'm about to.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.cn-airrunner-voicerecorder-pipx.aspx
thanks gthing..but it is not work on my nexus one..Is there anyone can use call recording apps on nexus one?
was looking for this as well. Airvoice says it doesn't work on G1. I say, screw that i'm trying it anyways. There are very few apps that offer downlink AND uplink support. No idea why.
EDIT: Yeah, no G1 support either. Makes me a sad panda =(
AllCallRecorder
It didn't work for me though.
I can confirm that Allcallrecorder works on a G1, but only records from the microphone of the phone. It can't grab the audio from the downlink. Why only one app seems to be able to do that, I don't know.
I cant believe no one has made a good app for this?!?! Or at least one that works for rooted phones if it is a permissions problem.

Airvoice is supposed to do this in theory. It needs root permissions and is supposed to support downlink voice. I don't know how it is in practice since it doesn't work for G1's. Try it out, see if it works for you.
Total recall is the best one.. you can find it on market
Total recall is once again a microphone only recorder. Also it doesn't work on 2.0+ ROMS
I've used Airvoice on my old Hero (with 1.5) and it was awesome!
Really good quality, easy to use and all...
God damn shame it doesn't work on N1, haven't been updated since february or something either.
So, bumping this to see if someone knows about any other software that does the same?
Hi guys,
For me it is indifferent to the platform, while performing well the call recording function. I need this feature for my work.
What phone/OS do you recommend?.
Thx
It's not wise to look at only one single aspects of your need to make decision because you may pay too high a price in the other areas. Anyway if you're really really wanting to only look at this requirement alone, then leave out iPhone because it can only record outgoing call (e.g., with Acrobits Softphone) but not incoming calls. Winmo phones are excellent in this area. Not sure about Android.
Edit: I take it back. I was wrong to say that iPhone can't do it. It can be done with an application by the name of "CallRec.me" mentioned here:
http://forum.tipb.com/iphone-develo...itasking-phone-call-recorder.html#post1568474 It records both incoming and outgoing calls. Be aware of the legal framework of such practice though, but that's out of topic issue here. It's suppose to work not just in US but also outside US. I don't know all the details yet, but hopefully that'll give you a headstart in your investigation.
Cheers.
Thank you very much for your answers.
With any WinMo 6.5 device I can record incoming and outgoing calls? Any device recommendation?
I was using VITO audio note back then. Worked quite well for me. I think it will work on any winmo phone in the market today still.

Now I'm using iPhone 3GS. Then, I was using HTC Touch HD.
I have a Palm Centro, and I've been using the app CallRec for years. I believe it was $20, but you can always pirate it if you're cheap. It runs in the background and records every call to a folder on the SD card, named with the phone number, date, etc. Excellent record quality, and it's actually the only reason I haven't upgraded my phone yet. I love having an archive of all my calls, especially when dealing with lying customer-service reps.
I use G1 now...
Does somebody know if the new FroYo firmware will support call recording?
Stock Video Call app.

Would be nice if someone tried it

Says no recipient for video call. Strange, as one of my contacts has Endymion installed on his Desire S. I'll try this evening and report.
Check with your operator first. 3G Video Call is a service provided by the operator, you cannot call this way as with skype for ex. If you both don't have the service activated (could cost you money), the call cannot be performed.
There's another topic related to this subject HERE. Maybe it's a good idea that a mod will merge them to have whole discussion in a single place
I think till now HTC doesnt support stock video call..... I sent a mail to HTC regarding this waiting for their reply.....
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
OK. I've started some "research" into this cause it seems alot of you are intereseted in this 3G Video Calling feature. I even reflash Endymion now to check few things.
1. Why some have that small camera (option) in the People tab and some don't? (When arranging tabs in People/Contacts, there's a video camera that can be added to the existing tabs.)
I think is depending on what ROM each has. If you have the stock Desire S ROM (or based on one), you will not have it... The ones that have it, are the ones that have a ported ROM from Sensation (as is Endymion ROM). Sensation has this so, since the ROM is ported from there, we have it also on the Desire S. On US site, you can check on official HTC site HERE that Sensation 4G has "Video calling enabled"
2. What do we need to use this function?
There are two things: the service from the operator AND a compatible phone. The first is easy, for the second though...there are some "problems"
Searching on the forums, I've found some official answers from HTC regarding this subject. I'll quote below one relevant:
Video Call Compatibility
AT present (April 2011) these handsets run the 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread) versions of the Android OS and these does not natively support video calls.
In the future, if the device is updated to 2.4, it is rumoured that this will natively support video calls, but this is not known yet.
In the meantime, until video calls are natively supported, customers will need to use a third party application to utilise video calling. The people they are calling will need to also have this software installed on their handsets.
There are currently two applications which will support video calling, Fring and Tango Video Calls.
Skype have said they will be updating their software in the future to support video calling on the android platform.
This information is subject to change at any time as updates and new software is released.
Said that, it seems that we don't have yet this function even if some Samsung phones have it (Samsung Galaxy S2 for ex, you can check user manual pag. 45 for video call options)
3. What do we have to do?
For now?...sadly, nothing. HTC was not natively included this in our phones and since there are alot of third party applications that offers video call features, there is no developer willing to integrate such functionality. Maybe a port from Galaxy S2 could bring something, I'm not a developer to know if there is such port or if it is even possible.
So we have to wait for an update from HTC that hopefully will activate this on Desire S. Till then we have Tango, Skype, Fring and so on...
I hope this will clear things a little bit. If someone else has a different opinion or know a way to do this, please share it
Thanks for investigating into this! I'm Sure we will be able to get it working soon!

Cheers
You mean out of the box (like a built in app?)? If so, then no. I've heard this is illegal is some areas (at least w/o the other party knowing they are being recorded), so I believe manufacturers will not ship with this feature, at least not in the US.

In the US, the laws vary by state. Several states only require one party to consent, i.e. you can record all your calls, and the only thing forbidden is to record a call you're not a party to. Others require all parties' consent. If the call is between more than one state, you'd probably better just have all parties' consent.
I'd kind of like it if incoming callers could hear a quick "this call will be recorded; hang up if you do not consent" message, and to have my phone record everything.
Ok, everytime I get a new phone I go through this...looking for the best way of enabling this and it usually comes along...most recently with rvoix on my EVO 4G, now I have an EVO 4G LTE (I know, I know, but it is basically the same phone so don't call me out) and want to know if anybody has any information about how one might go about getting that to work on this new phone.
And, just for the sake of clarity - please avoid talking incessantly about the legality/legal issues of it - basically, we all know the law or can find out what it is in our area - this isn't a forum for lawyers. It isn't illegal to use the damn software unless you do something illegal with it.
So, on that note...any information?

It wasn't my intent to sound like I was preaching about the law, simply explaining why this type of software is not packed in.
For sake of clarity if you want to use a specific 3rd party app, you should have mentioned it in the OP. OP was very vague. Hard for people to help if you don't tell us what you are looking for.
I guess this question wasn't really directed at USA version of One XL but just one XL in general.
I use the call recorder to take notes when i dont have paper handy. My current phone the incredible S requires a kernel patch to allow it to be used with callrecorder software

Until now, I still don't understand why Android doesn't have a built-in features for missed calls/sms and reject list to auto decline unwanted calls. My old Galaxy S Fascinate has the reject list feature but not in my Galaxy Nexus.
And I used to use Missed Call Reminder but it doesn't work with Jelly Bean. Sigh! JB is awesome but these simple, yet crucial, features are either missing or hard to find ones that work.
Especially the missed call/SMS features, this is a no brainer feature that even a standard cell phone has it. IOS has it, why Android can't just have it built-in. I just don't get it.
Thoughts anyone?

Pretty much everyone I know uses the LED notification light for missed calls and texts, since that's what it was made to do.
I personally don't get calls I don't want, but if you like to post your number online and not pay your bills, there are many, many apps available to block calls for you. Or hell, MIUI has it built in. Take your pick.
So what was the problem again?

I don't know it for sure. but my guess is Apple probably has it patented? From what I understand Google has to deliberately workaround many design challenges so that Android doesn't violate Apple's patents

yeah, you could be right. If that's true, then this is yet another ridiculous patent that got passed. Prior to smartphones, every cell phones have these basic features. Sigh.
I understand the Galaxy Nexus has led indicator but I don't usually stare at my phone all day. So I'm used to hearing a reminder tone of any missed call or text. I guess I just have to wait until developers get up to speed with Jelly Bean.

Hey buddy read my orig. post, I've tried already. Example, I used to use Missed Call Reminder but like most other apps that are similar, it doesn't work with Jelly Bean. The LED part works, but no tone. Feel free to educate me with ones that works with tone notification.
As per the reject call feature, I end up using the contact list method and send them to voicemail. Not 100% whether this method will cost me some minor air time or not but these solicited calls will hang up by itself, as most of these calls use an auto-dialer. It will only transfer to a live agent if the dialer detects a real human voice, as suppose to a voicemail recording. Not as good as just decline the call completely but it will do for now.

Yes I have but after I read the terms and condition, I don't feel comfortable using it. This app will take all your contacts and store them into their server. Even the paid version does this too. It seems like a very powerful app but I'm not willing to sacrifice my personal information for this feature. I've looked at others and they work similar way. All I want is a similar app that identifies the phone of incoming call and compare it to a local rejected list of numbers. If it matches, then just decline the call. I'm not a developer but I can't imagine that this would be very tough.

I've heard both sides make that argument. I'm Android through & through, but apple makes a compelling ecosystem. People always say "It just works..." but at what cost? There are apps for everything in both IOS & Android worlds, but as far as I'm concerned, there's less big brother restricting what I can do with my android. Sure, there's some more work at times, but it's completely worth the effort not to be stuck with someone else deciding what apps I can install, and how I have to use my phone.

I know I feel stuck when I get a phone with carrier branded apps that I can't remove. Do you see a difference between these two practices? It seems to me if one wants full control of their phone, one must jailbreak or root. Do you agree or disagree?
