Using a phone through my pc

I didnt really know where to put this, but here goes anyway
I have a HTC S710 with a broken screen. Im currently using it through MyMobiler, but this is really slow and then theres a number of smaller problems with it too.
I was wondering if there was any program which means you can use the resources avaliable on my phone, sms, calls etc, through my pc. Maybe a faster program similar to mymobiler. I think it would be great if it showed a popup when there was a text or an incoming call?
I have searched and not come up with anything usefull.
also, another thing i want to know is if there is any way to make my phone turn on speakerphone automatically upon answering a call?
Thanks, Cris

There are a few diffrenet apps available, but MyMobiler is the best, especially since it's free. There is an app here as well for turning on the speaker during an incoming call as well.
Just a question though, why wouldn't get a replacement device. Seems odd to only control it through your PC.

well, i dont want to replace it simply because im a student, therefore i cant really afford it. Secondly i just like this phone, so it seems a waste to not use it at all any more when it still functions as a phone even if i cant see whos calling.

I dont suppose you have a link to this app do you?

SpeakerPhone v1.05 (cab attached) when an incoming call is received, the speakerphone of your device will automatically turn ON when you receive a call.
Here is the LINK for further info...

thank you reaper

[Q] Record input and output audio during a call?

I'm looking to hack myself together a call recorder for Android which will work better than all of the other solutions in the market. I've tried them all, and they all surprisingly don't work for me on my Nexus One. I'm going to essentially start an open source fork so I can simply record the input and output of calls (effectively recording the whole call as-is) and I'll probably submit it to Cyanogenmod upstream so they can choose to include it or not.
I was told to essentially look into the Dialer app and modify stuff there to get access to recording things, but I'm looking through the Git branch right now and not seeing anything important. Does anyone know how I could make this happen? Is there a way I could simply expose a device like in linux and simply `cat /dev/phone_audio` to a file? If I can simply record PCM from a phone call, I'd be golden. I don't really care what avenue I have to take to make this work, whatever it takes works for me. Can anyone recommend where to start? Where can I get access to the telephony stack and the two streams (audio/mic in, audio/speaker out)?

how about starting here...

I have an infuse and I would pay for this ability. Hopefully someone can get it working, but I think that it would have to be done on a phone by phone basis. It looks like the file that would control this is /system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so
Good luck!

[Question/Suggestion] G3 with google voice?

Hey mates,
I asked myself, why not to find a way to use google voice (cause not video) instead of skype. The point is, that skype is raping my battery! I have to be at least 1GHz to get skype smooth working, beside that 1/3 of battery for about 20 minutes talking is a pain!
So, I wanna know, if there is a way to get google voice working, like taking the SGS app and port it to G3, just without video^^

Use an app called viber. You can make free calls with it but the phone call voice delays 1 second for me. Not a big problem though. And please don't used words such as rape. It's not funny and shouldn't be used in that context.

[APP][4.0+] SpeakApp - Know When your Friends are on Speakerphone

SpeakApp is an application that will keep you aware of your friends speakerphone status when placing a call.
Description
You’re in your car, with a date, connected to your Bluetooth speakerphone. Then, all of a sudden, you get a phone call; you decide to play cool and take the call because you wouldn’t want your date to think you got something to hide. Well, look at that! It’s your best friend, whom you speak quite freely with, or even better, it’s your MOM. In the meantime, your blood pressure is rising, you’re starting to stutter and you pray to GOD because only he can come save you now…
We’ll let your fruitful imagination complete the end of that. But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, right? And you can probably think of a dozen of other “skip-a-heartbeat” situations where you’d have wanted to send or receive a heads-up before establishing the call.
We’re proud to introduce SpeakApp, the mobile application that will save you from those embarrassing moments so you could keep a steady heart rate and live a lot longer.
In a nutshell, SpeakApp is a communication app focused on exchanging notifications based on your speakerphone status prior to establishing a call.
What do you need to do? Have you and your friends download the app, run through the super speed sign up process and let SpeakApp take care of the rest.
Now, whenever you’re about to enter a call with your friend and either of you has turned on his or her speakerphone, a heads up notification will be sent suggesting that “Other people may hear you..”
Together, with SpeakApp, we can replace the awkward “Cough” and rewrite the ending of such moments.
Features
Bluetooth
SpeakApp is completely aware of your Bluetooth speakerphone connectivity. So when you receive a call in the presence of others while driving, SpeakApp notifies the caller to let him or her know you’re behind the wheel and that others may hear you.
Mobile Speakerphone
SpeakApp integrates seamlessly with your mobile speakerphone, assuring that the other side of the conversation is notified when you turn it on.
SpeakApp Experience
To enjoy a full SpeakApp experience, use the built-in sharing option to invite people from your intimate circles to use SpeakApp so you could effectively exchange notifications based on your speakerphone status. Remember, it takes two to Tango and to SpeakApp.
Productivity
In SpeakApp, we realize that productivity is a top priority. To that end, after running the initial sign up process, SpeakApp will operate in the background and allow you to use your native dialer app while enjoying a full SpeakApp experience.
Information
Download
You can download the app for free from the Google Play store

Hope you'll enjoy SpeakApp, and we're happy to hear any comments, ideas or bugs (hopefully not...) you have.

Is call recording yet possible?

Hi. Is it possible to record calls on Android os 13?
I heard since some Android 9 there is no possibility by many developers because they require a level of root to grant apps access.
Does it depend on root access and which os might have call recording function or might be working with call recorders?

Yes, call recording is possible on Android 13, but if it's not already enabled on your software, it will likely require root to enable.
Keep in mind that call recording may be illegal or restricted in some areas, and it is your own responsibility to be aware of the laws regarding recoding your calls.

In addition to what was @V0latyle said above, yes to this part. Even with the same phone it might be available in one country but not another (native). Other require root and some just aren't compatible. If you post more details maybe someone else can give you more detailed info for your situation.

I wanna buy a new phone and look which device might fit call recording best.
How do the manufacturers build phones detecting the permission or forbidance of recording? Is there a list of devices working? How come that some devices are not compatible for call recording at all?

I can only speak from what I've read and experienced. Samsung for example has it in a few markets only. Some call recorders I used in the past in the playstore listed certain phones weren't compatible, maybe technical limitations.
3rd party used to work with Samsung/for me but don't anymore. Unless it's allowed in your country (and comes with the phone) it could stop working at any time. Since I am in the USA, our laws are different in each state so none of our phones have it by default so I wouldn't be able to recommend anything.
There are subscription apps that route your calls through their servers and record on their end but don't recommend that.

Which Samsung was the last working with recorders? Seems like devices might scan the gsm?
Why don't you recommend these call routings? Due to data privacy, quality of voice or cost or other interference?

Ever since android 11 or 12 is stopped working for me. Haven't tried anything new since
And yes, privacy reasons. Also a bad experience, they all inevitably (except business grade solutions) tank. They are there one day and gone the next. I loved the one I was using, month after I bought a year subscription they were closing.
At this point I only make and acccept calls that I know won't need recording. If they do, I carry a second phone (impractical) or wait till I get home and use my tablets voice recorder app

How much did a subscription for one year cost you?
Do you use a speakerphone or make a hands-free mobile phone call while holding the microphone of your second mobile phone towards it?

It wasn't cheap, $52.99, did other things like let you listen into the call and have their "bot say what you typed" , etc.. but again that's gone. There might be similar services but it's not worth it.
And for the second device method, you can do wired (a lot of splitters/y-cables) or just speaker on the phone making the call.
All this is last resort stuff though. If you're in a country that allows it, just Google whatever model you're interested in "can phone-XYZ record calls in Country-ABC?"

Can you recommend a y-cable or splitter or name a technology that works well? And then just pluging in the 3.5mm jack or usb and how to record on the second device?

It's janky and It's really not practical though, just warning you in advance. It's also like $50 of cable spaghetti.
Basically you get a usb-c to 3.5 headset adapter for each phone. You get a headset splitter, headset goes into another splitter. Audio goes into one port, on the other headphone splitter plug you route a cable to the microphone splitter input of the second phone.
Maybe something pre-made exists but don't know what it's called. You should be able to find a diagram on Google of what I'm describing above.
