[Q] Anyone know a good app to record phone calls? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my N1, I used vrecorder and when I had the phone call on speaker phone it recorded fine. The widget worked well. Vrecorder does not show up in the market for me with the NS. Anyone know a good app to use? Everything I tried does not work.

Anyone?

vrecorder must be a protected app. It should show once Google fixes the Market to recognize our phones.
Meanwhile, if you're rooted, there are ways to change the build.prop file to make them show for you. I'll leave that for other threads, where it's well explained and easily found with the search.
I don't have a specific app recommendation for you, though.

Vrecorder shows up in the market now. It doesn't record calls good though. I think the Nexus One recorder calls better while on speaker phone because there was a second Michael near the speaker. While on speaker phone with the Nexus S and recording, you can't hear the other end when you play the recording.

Google Voice... Press 4 During a Call to Start / End =)
Then you can find them in recordings online or via the app.
Enjoy!

Been wondering about that via Google Voice.
After reading more info about it. Looks like any calls initiated by you can't be recorded.

Yeah... that's the only way to use the feature... Maybe if you do the call back option as well without the app. I do know it works well... used if for skits and such... =)

One-way recording
Before, when I was using Galaxy S, it was possible to record during a call.
But it was only possible one-way recording, that means, only my voice.
Now, with my Nexus S, it is not possible to record at all during a call.
There is no sound.
Anyone know my?

I tested that already but incoming does not get recorded properly, there is lot of hiss sound whereas outgoing was perfect.(I was using headphones) Hence looking for this as I have installed this application when I was on 016 but now it is not accessible in market.....

Call Recorder on Nexus S?

Hi all,
First thing, please don't debate about the legalities in your states and countries of phone call recorders. I understand they are different everywhere.
Has anyone used a voice call recorder successfully on Nexus S? If so, please share!
Thanks.
Would like to see an app that does this.

http://www.androidzoom.com/uk/android_applications/media_and_video/sound-recorder_itno.html (Works well. Sound quality is good. You're gonna need an app that can browse your sd card to access your recordings as there is no a playback button)
Please tell as about the quality of recording of both sides and whether there are any time limits or not.
Cheers

just to awake this topic .. even i havent found an app to record calls on nexus s .. its surprising how easily u can do it on symbian nokia phones .. dated to even 10 years old ..
ne1 knows how to record calls ???
With the current set of hardware which is shipping on Nexus S, I don't think (2-way) call recording can be achieved. There was an elaborate thread on the same here on XDA but
I am unable to find it (amongst so many of them). Shall re-post if I find it.
so many custom kernals n roms but sumhw no call recording yet ??? .. y is it so ???
I've asked that question before with no replies. The problem is that the OS built is preventing any app from accessing the internal voice while on call.

It's got more to do the Broadcom Chip on the Nexus S - its on similar lines why we can't have a FM Radio (not an internet streaming App, those are plenty) - unlike it's very close siblings such as the Galaxy S which does boast of a FM Radio & possible 2-way call recording capabilities (I don't follow other phones, too smitten by the Nexus S)
I am interested in this feature
I have been looking for this feature for nearly 1 year, till now I don't see a good solution on Nexus S.
I used HTC diamond 2 before nexus S, and it does perfect incoming/outgoing call recording without the need of speaker on. I don't understand google doesn't allow this API.

[Q] Does the sensation do Voice Dialing

I've just orded myself a sensation but have noticed that theres seems to be a lack of info about if the sensation does voice dialing?
If it does does it do it so you dont have to be holding/looking at the phone?
Cheers

If your contacts are synced with google just press and hold the search key and use voice search. If your contacts are synced with anything else go get the voice dialer apk from the themes and apps forum
sent from HTC Sensation
Cool, will that work with a bt hands free kit as well?
maybe? there was a thread going around about that in the General forum & IIRC the someone found a work around.
Use vlingo
Never a straight answer
This man asked a question if his new highly expensive, state of the art, phone would do voice dialing.
If you intend to do voice dialing with bluetoth, it will not work. The only thing that may help is a blue ant Q2, which stores your contacts in the earpiece. You also need to have phone commands built into the phone software which I believe comes with gigerbread 2.3
I have asked direct questions in these forums and am amazed at the indirect answers that are given. always a work around. Why not just say this expensive toy will not hands free voice dial.
Sorry for the rant but some people dont even know what an apk is.
Look into the blueant Q2 jawbone also make the Era but in my opinion not as good
Thanks.
it does seem odd that new tech doent have something that was included in phones many years ago. Exp with more and more places requiring hands free driving now.

Yes it does. As others todl you first you have to install "voice dialer" and then 3rd party "voice speed dial" program. My favorite one is "cyberon voice speed dialer" with that program i can assign voice tags to my contacts and all i have to do after pressing the BT button is call that name example "john" and it will dial the number i assigned for that name.
good luck
The sensation has voice dialer by default just launch the phone app and you will see a mic icon on the left

I tried a Samsung hm 3700. It was absolutely flawless on my g2x. Recognition and commands went smoothly. It just didn't have a2dp function though you can listen to music. Just no control.
vlingo for sensation?
whoever the moron is that keeps telling people to use vlingo for the voice dialing on the htc sensation is definetely an idiot as this app is not offered for the sensation and if you try to install the apk it will brick your device. i recomend you not listen to that idiot.

you must never have tried to use it or you would not have just showed your lack of intelligent thought. the sensation does not have voice dialing and if you try to use that mic to voice search in the phone app it will only search for the contact. it is quicker to do it manually. so before you post,please make sure you know wtf you are talking about

Advance call manager like app which can record greetings !!

I live in India so I don't have voice mail on my mobile like carrier. I would like an app like the Symbian Advanced call manager which after some time of not picking up the phone plays a recorded message and records the message the other person has given. Like an Answer machine. Free apps are preferred.
Thanks

i don't think there is one mate..... the old symbian Nokias did...
that was because they were able to send sound directly to the caller ... i dunno if its a hardware limitation ... i really hope someone can figure that out... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Afaik it is not available on android, there is some limitation on Android for this.
If i missing one and only thing from my Nokia then this is same.
Even i have used interactive voice call Master, the best and most configurable call manager.

I always used to believe Android is open source and there are no limitations but this thing falsified all assumption.
I badly miss it.
Yeah... I was thinking If We have a answering call app kicking in when We rejected a call. So the app takes over with a greeting message and records the callers message into the memory card?
Nope? Nothing of that sort?

I too tried to work my work using tasker
But the problem is the phone calls are played from a different channel, and media content like ringtone and notification are played through different channel

The only Symbian feature that I miss
Sorry to bump into this really old thread but recently Google implemented AI calling and Xiaomi too which not just plays a recorded message to the caller, instead it actually 'talks' to the caller based on the input we give which makes me wonder if this is possible via an app now

S Voice Sucks...other options pls

Played with S Voice for 2-hours and still no real good continuous success. I have an exchange account so phone locks with pin S voice does not wake properly in this manner...
With my old HTC if the phone was pin locked and off I could hit my BT button and say "Call Home" and it would dial and connect. With S Voice it tries but with the screen pin locked it just fails.... 1 out of 10 tries I might get the bell so I can say my command...and wake function does not let you say a command to wake deviec with BT headset on/active...
What other voice dialing app can I use to replace S Voice?
Vlingo is pretty good at dialing and texting especially hands free ( in car mode). This phone REALLY should of had google search/google voice when it was introduced. I know JB wasn't officially released yet when it was launched. Samsung should really update to JB and incorperate google voice if it wants to compete with the Iphone 5.

I couldn't get S Voice to work consistently with my BT. I found the voice dialer.apk from an ICS rom and installed it on my phone. It works great for voice dialing.
EVA or AVX
I have AVX on my phone - it's the most fully-featured of any voice app. It's not good at answering general knowledge questions (it's not for that), but it rocks at controlling every aspect of your phone via voice. Can even interact with Tasker! And it supports texting via Google Voice which I use. Also AVX's younger sister EVA which is the exact same app, but different GUI and cheaper - all the same functionality though. Do a youtube search for AVX on Galaxy S3.
I've used S-Voice, Vlingo, Iris, and a few others. My personal favorite is SpeakToIt Assistant found in the play store.
However, one thing I do like about S-Voice is the Wolfram Alpha integration.

Robin in the app store is great. I believe it will be the closest siri competitor. It offers a variety of ways to control your phone through voice and gives quirky answers to a variety of questions.
As far as I can tell, SpeakToIt doesn't support bluetooth - Speaktoit doesn't listen to the bluetooth device's mic.and
Speaktoit doesn't trigger with the bluetooth device's command.

I simply took the google widget and resized it smaller so all you see is a bit more then the microphone icon.
I just press that and it works like a charm. (I use Go Launcher so I don't know if this works on the standard launcher) .
You get used to this pretty quickly.
Use AVX... you wont regret it.

I like s-voice too. I think that the people who think it sucks are simply expecting too much from it.
This whole siri/s-voice/Google now is still a new mobile technology and people really shouldn't have such high expectations from it so early on...
While Google Now is still an evolving technology, I've been impressed with how fast the recognition has become in the latest release. I look forward to the next iteration.
