I'm looking for a good voice recorder solution for my Sensation that has been tried and known to work. I tried the Quick Record widget from HTC but it doesn't do much else other than provide an icon on my screen that does absolutely NOTHING.
All legalities aside, I have a rather combative employee at work and would like to be able to record some of the less than pleasant conversations he has with me when he comes into my office so I can play them back for HR so they don't think I'm full of crap the next time I tell them what was said.
It would need to be able to continue recording with the screen off.
FREE is preferred, but I am willing to spend a few bucks if needed.
Thanks much!
If you're in the US & have the Sensation 4G, the reason that widget doesn't work is because Tmobile took out the Voice Recorder app.

Voice Recorder from the market is free and works with the screen off. Been using it for a long time with my N1 and it works fine with the Sensation.

Yeah. My wife and I have used it for more than a year. She was able to record lectures with it pretty good. She says the most she ran it was 30 minutes at a time but it didn't drain her battery. It's pretty lightweight and has some decent features. I used it a handful of times.

Has anyone found, or is anyone working on a true call recording solution for the inspire as they have done on the desire?
Auto Call Recorder in the Market does this. Works very well. I use it to make prank calls. haha.
I was hoping for a true 2-way recording solution (non-speakerphone based) for the inpire as skvalex and avs333 have done this for the htc desire.
I also would be interested in this. I had a couple of roms for the Captivates that worked 2 way perfectly. Nothing that I have tried works properly for 2 way on the inspire.
avs333 will see to it after a DHD with the same chip is obtained!
Call Trunk has an Android app that works on the inspire. Easy and quick, cloud-based, keeps the call saved and available forever, free for the first 25 minutes. Contact me at [email protected] for more information.
I would like to see one built into the phone.apk like they did it on the captivate

agreed! that would be amazing! i love to record my conversations with companies that try to rip you off. (time warner)
avs333 has obtained a DHD and preparations are being made! Should not be to much longer till a solution is posted.
The stock rom has it built in, no app needed.

You have to be on a call to do it.
I do not see, even When I make phone Call.
Are you sure you have inspire 4g?

Yes I'm positive. Since I'm no longer usin a stick rom, I'll her with my coworker who showed me this. He recorded another coworkers drunk rant about his soon to be ex girlfriend so I'm 100% positive it's there.

cant wait!
I just asked the guy how he records the calls, he said he put voice recorder on the home screen and just opens it while on a call.
Voice Recorder does, in fact, record audio from both sides of a conversation from within the phone. No speakerphone setting required. Just takes a small amount of time to set up while in the call.
patches and programs will be posted in next few days!
Hi, please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048182 I just started.
I just tried the stock Inspire 4g kernel now, and found that my patch suits well for it.
If you have that kernel, please post your /proc/config.gz here so that I'd be able to make a correct update.
If no, please contact the maker of that kernel and ask him to apply my patch to it.
Thank you avs333! Will start testing now, and will post the results. Can't thank you enough!
hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?
Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:

Hey all,
Yea, I think I'm having the same issue.
Tango doesn't work, yahoo mess doesn't work. Fring DOES work!
Thanks for the help.

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.
Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?
If you have a Senation already....
Just wondering if a Call Recorder app will work with the Sensation..?? I currently use the SPB Recorder on my Winmo TP2 to record and play back calls and it is a lifesaver with client calls (my memory is bad!)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-recorder-total-recall-dem/com.killermobile.totalrecall.trial)
(http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-publishandroidapps-vrecorder-jjDB.aspx)
Really would like to know before getting a Sensation as this is a very useful feature to me. Sorry if this has been covered, but would appreciate any specific info for call recording (not off the speaker). Appreciate it if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.
I tried out "2-way Call Recorder Free" and it did record both sides of the conversation. Speakerphone was off too, so it's apparently working correctly.
Many thx lezouave
That is really good to know...!
Appreciated

How did you get it to work? Whenever I hit the 'rec' button on the little popup, it turned on the speakerphone to record.

Actually, really want the auto record function. To have to press an additional button seems redundant when/if ALL calls can be recorded...

Still on this...
Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?
Still really (really) want this function.

Thx for that.
Curious though, does it record well and 'without' the loudspeaker on?
In other words, does it record both sides of the call without an issue - there are other reports saying it needs to turn the loadspeaker on to work.
Please be kind enough to give some more details for all who are interested.
Cheers
both apps do not work for me...
the total recall made my phone go crazy..wouldnt record anything, couldnt hang up, then once I hung up the phone still thought I was on a call and the screen kept going on/off everytime I moved it...not good.
The other one (2 way call recorder) worked, but forced speaker phone. also, not good.
Any other options? I have a feeling Sense and the HTC dialer is part of the issue here..

I think this is what u may want
Androrec call recorder
It records both sides of the conversation, without having to put it on speaker, AND it starts recordings automatically.
All I have to do is periodically go into my SD card and wipe off non-essentials to save space.
And, before I get asked, I have no idea if I have S-off phone or not. I have no idea how to check, but guess have no need to, because my sensation does everything I want it to...
Thank you, I will try it.
AndroRec didn't work for me on the Sensation... could barely hear the other side.
Looks like Sensation is one of those phones that doesn't work well with the recording apps.
Yeah...it works without loudspkr turned on...and for both way...

Seems we have a mixed bag of success - can't figure why something will work on one and not the other..?
I am yet to dive into a Sensation, but this function is something that is vital to me.

I thought call recorder is made by people from xda but nevermind. I really wonder why did it work on earlier version of android.
buy Total Recall from playstore.. It's very good and stable in recording voice call In and Out...
Make sure you purchase it to unlock the full feature and unlimited recording time. Worked in all Lollipop versions.
There is only one worth getting. Its £8 and record off the line. I have it and it works perfectly with kk, and all the ? updates. I'd get that. The Dev is very helpful and will sort issues out within the hour it uses CAF method but will use others. Most, even paid use the speaker.

Has anyone else gotten it and tried it out?
It's actually pretty great. It's a lot more conversational style than Google assistant. I've used it quite a few times to send texts etc and it dictates very well!!
Haven't tested out the voice unlock, I use fingerprint too much...
Did mine too, been playing with it the past couple hours... Not sure if I'll keep using it, but I'll give it a week and see? I like Google Assistant better, so far, but I like being able to turn on bluetooth and wifi with just saying. But, Bixby won't use my 3rd party music player, email, or SMS (text) app....So, that's useless for me.
Like I said, I'll give it a week and see?? It also depends on the battery usage too.
Oh yeah, didn't think about 3rd party stuff. That sucks.
I like the rewards points for doing stuff with it. Now they're giving points as Samsung pay points
