Hello,
Is there an app that lets u record incoming / outgoing conversations or use as a recorder in general? It can be activated manually and mapped to a key or something?
Yes before you tell me to search I got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421652 but this doesnt really help. I found "Resco Audio Recorder" but doesn't look all that good (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/default.asp), does anyone have recommendations?
Freeware is best but if its really good, i gues I can pay for it.
thanks

I'm not sure why you thought the Resco Audio Recorder "doesn't look all that good." I use it on my 8525 (still waiting for the Fuze) with very good results. It has a lot of capabilities -- you can record fairly high fidelity to MP3, for instance, or get really compact voice recordings using the Speex format (there are other supported formats, too); it's got built-in digital signal processing for automatic volume control and noise reduction; voice-activated recording; smart display-blanking to save battery; bookmarks in recordings; etc., etc. It's a really nice, capable application, and it's hard to imagine what else one might want or need in a recorder.

thanks for that, in the thread I posted above, the ppl here said that it cannot record both sides of the converations in a call... can you confirm that it does and it can also start automatically or if u want with a press of a button? thanks for helping out.
nothing can record both sides of the conversation on touch pro (for now atleast)
resco audio recorder works well on my atom exec

The Resco recorder does record both sides of a conversation, but only on phones that make the incoming side available; it's my understanding from the responses in that thread (which I initiated, BTW) that the Touch Pro is not one of those phones. (I'll be checking that out for myself very shortly after I get my Fuze, hopefully within the next week.) I don't think that's any different from any other recorder software that's available.
It can be set up to record conversations automatically or at the press of a button (although I'm not sure how well that will work with the Touch Pro, as buttons are in very short supply), and it will record both sides of the conversation if you are using the speakerphone. And for all other uses (lectures, concerts, dictation, etc.) it's very nice. It's just a hardware limitation, not a software problem, that prevents use of the recorder for capturing the incoming side of normal phone conversations.
thanks friend... I'll do more research before I act... if by that time u have tested it out, do let me know. thanks v much~! u've been a super help.
Well, if you use the speaker phone the integrated note function can take audio recordings as well though the sound is not very good. It also works on normal phone calls, but the remote side is at very low volume.

I downloaded the trial for "Audio Notes".
Working great so far. Records both ends of the conversation on both incoming and outgoing calls. Also takes memos through either mouthpiece or speakerphone.
You can tell it what quality you want to record and where to record to.
It also labels the recording according to the name of the person you talked to.
Good stuff.
This is Vito AudioNotes you are referring to? If so, that's great to hear; it's a bit bare-bones compared to Resco, but it's inexpensive. If both-sides recording works with Vito, that means it probably would with Resco, too, but if not, I'm willing to pay for both use Vito for phone recording and Resco for everything else. Thanks for the info!

Just to clearify, does it work on "the usual conversations" I mean, the normal way u talk on the phone, NOT speakerphone?
Cause we all know there's quiet a few sw that works in speakerphone mode and that simply doesn't cut it.
It MUST work when u are using it "normally"
Yeah. It's vito audio notes 1.32
It works with normal (non speaker phone) phone calls.
Actually, I'm not sure if it works with speakerphone too.. I haven't tried that yet. Will do that in a bit to make sure.
What's better about Resco? *edit: nevermind. I just looked at the screenshots of resco audio recorder. It does look nicer. Has more features too... But honestly... the vito program is really nice, and simple to use.
By the way. I'm using the Sprint Touch Pro... so I can't say for sure whether or not this prog works with the other versions. Either way, there's a free trial you can use... so no harm in trying it out first.

Yeah, same here, thx for the tip!
BTW, just a quick Q: I doesn't have that annoying "beep" every now and then? So the person at the other end can here that you're recording?
I also have a Sprint Touch Pro and after reading this thread, I downloaded a trial of Vito 1.32 to give this a try.
Just as background, I'm a former Treo user (Palm OS) and the hardware supported recording of both sides of a phone conversation in very clear audio. This was most evident when listening to recordings (on a headset), one side of the conversation is heard in the left ear and the other in the right ear.
Now as for Vito on the Sprint Touch Pro, here's what I've observed:
When using the the phone normally (i.e. holding the device to your ear), the software does record both sides of the conversation. It does so in a manner that plays both sides of the conversation back in the left ear (when wearing headphones). My opinion is that the loudness of the earpiece allows this software to record the "other end" of the call in a manner similar to the "speakerphone method". The quality of the "other end" of the conversation is significantly lower than my end of the conversation. So it would seem that the hardware on the Touch Pro doesn't completely support this. Another indicator of this is that it only records my end of the conversation when I record a call using the included HTC headset.
So the verdict is that it does work, but I still think there's a hardware obstacle. I'm a headset kinda guy, so I guess I'm out of luck. Hope this helps.
That's not good.
I'll probably be getting a stereo bt headset soon, so that's going to be a problem.
Too bad there's no individual (in/out) volume control...

Thx for your input m8!
So I suppose it won't work with a bluetooth headset neither.
Anyway, I'm glad it works without(?) beeps in the normal mode, in that case you'll have the time to snap off the headset if you see that the incomming call is from that person you'd like to record.
well phonecalls come through in mono, so i cant imagine it working through both speakers
Does Chacha support phone call recording?
Thanks
you question should be - what software should I use for call recording on Gingerbread phone
Anyone who was able to record calls with good quality on a Chacha?
I read some threads, but didn't find any answer there which is strange since even Symbian was able to record calls.
Will any custom ROM be any help there?
try Auto Call Recorder or some app like it on google play !

This does not really work. It just turns the microphone so sensitive that it will record the other side of the call (if you turn it loud enough). But the things you say will be recorded 10 times louder.
Even Symbian could record calls with a good quality on both sides, so why can't Android?
So there were no changes yet. I figured out that you will need a patch for that.
Anyone who has an idea what to do there bzw. how to port this to the Chacha?

I wanted an app to play audio through a phone earpiece, so that if I didn't take my headphones somewhere, I could still listen to an audio book as if I was on the phone. So I made a very simple app that toggles whether sound comes from the earpiece or the speaker: Earpiece.
Currently alpha, or maybe early beta, quality. Works on my Epic 4G Touch. Don't know how many other phones it'll work for. (Interestingly, I also noticed that if I have earphones plugged in and I select earpiece mode, then the volume goes up a little. I am curious if this happens for other users)
I also wanted an app that would let me boost the audio volume, so I added that functionality to Earpiece while I was at it (Android 2.3+ only, should work even on devices like tablets that don't have an earpiece). I know there are such apps (Volume+ seems to be the most popular one), but why have a separate app for this?
You can set Earpiece to show up when you long-press the search key. (I don't use this feature myself. Instead, I have another simple app that pops up a menu of my favorite apps when I long-press the search key, and I use that to launch Earpiece.)

With what settings in Earpiece?
I would expect the Boost setting to interfere with DSP Manager, since both apps would be trying to do the same thing.

Thanks! Tell me more. How did you test it?
Here's how I test. I start an audio book playing in Mortplayer, and then go to Earpiece, and toggle the Earpiece checkmark.
Clever idea, thanks!
Works perfectly on my HTC EVO 3D ICS 4.0.3 leak, boost as well - even the feeble speaker becomes louder

It looks like the person on the other end of the line is just talking your ear off and not letting you get a word in.
Question: Should I activate the proximity sensor in Earpiece mode, and turn the device screen off and on based on closeness to the face?

I just posted 0.02 with proximity sensor support.
Screen off while close to face is default for phone calls on my htc, saves lots! of battery during long talks.
So, yes, please
Workaround so far: With screen off manually (power button), sound plays nicely in the background.
Thanks and Cheers!
EDIT: Too fast for me Thanks again!

Can you send me a log after the crash? Install Log Collector, then do the crash again, and then go to Log Collector to email the log to arpruss at gmail dot com.
My ICS has a not stable beats installed, deactivated it, now works flawless
Noticed that the "Volume up/down" beeps don't get routed through earpeace, which is fine with me. Probably, because it's not a media volume sound?

You mean, for greater volume?
I doubt it, but I can experiment and see. Might actually be hard to tell if it's working, because the earpiece speaker will be drowned out by the main speaker.
I just posted 0.03.
It switches to the earpiece using a slightly different method. I'd appreciate reports whether it works for people.
By the way, no luck routing audio to BOTH the speaker and the earpiece at the same time.
I posted a release in the Market.
The release version carries one text ad on the screen, for my paid products. If the ad annoys you, just buy any of my paid products and the ad will disappear. Or just use a pre-release version.
Cool thing I found. If you turn on Earpiece while in Camera, the camera sound gets routed to the earpiece, and hence is very quiet, at least in my Epic 4G Touch.
(I know there are root-based solutions to the camera sound issue, but I haven't rooted my phone yet--I haven't found a way to do it that's both safe and doesn't involve copyright problems, like downloading unauthorized copies of parts of ROMs.)
I posted 1.01 in the Market and on the google code page. If you press MENU, you can go to Settings and select whether you want the status bar notification always, only when the background service is running, or never. The "never" is attractive if you don't like clutter, but unfortunately it allows the OS to kill Earpiece's proximity sensor and boost features (they need the background service) when the OS runs out of memory. Still, it's up to the user.
I am kind of excited by my discovery that earpiece mode makes the camera sound come out of the earpiece and hence be very quiet. I've experimented some more, and when I combine this with a negative volume boost, I can make the camera sound almost inaudible--probably inaudible to anybody more than two feet away except in an almost perfectly silent environment. Of course, for rooted devices there are ways of turning it off entirely, but I don't have root, and I want to be able to take pictures without disturbing people.
Hey guys,
I'm curious to see if there's anyone doing audio recording from their GS3.
I'm a musician so when I'm not at home, I often will just pull my phone out to record new ideas.
In the past I've just used Voice Recorder and it seemed to do alright, but I'm not sure if it's the phone or the app's updates
the quality seems pretty terrible lately. (Possibly something going on from running CM10 and the audio recording drivers??)
Anyone have any suggestions for recording? I don't care about recording calls,
Something that can pick up a solid range from a guitar or bass without sounding like crap.
Thanks in advance!!
Try TapeMachine Recorder its awesome!

I also use Voice Recorder - works fine for me. I would be great if you posted back with results from other apps - especially quality comparison.

Personally I use SoundCloud only because if I want to record a new riff and then I wanna hear it later, I can just go on my computer browser (soundcloud.com) and access everything I recorded. The other nice thing about using SoundCloud is the REC widget which adds a REC button to your home screen to quickly record new stuff!
Once I tried out Voice Pro I realized nothing else is worth my time. Doesn't stop me from trying other stuff, but nothing else can live up to it.
So currently running the nightly 17 build, but issue was the same with previous builds. Curious if anyone else has this issue or if there is a fix. Issue I'm having is since the install of CM10 [all builds I've tried so far], when sending a Voxer message, the audio recording is incredibly low. Also, if Voxer application is running in the background, when making a phone call, the call quality is horrible and modulated. Quit Voxer, and phone quality is back to normal. Didn't have any such issue with stock. Thanks.

The low volume is probably tied into the same bug that's giving the video recording low volumes, which hasn't been addressed yet and has been going on for a while.
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be connected but with the phone call quality also dropping after voxer use I wasn't sure. If anyone else is using voxer on CM10 can you confirm a severe audio distortion if you use voxer, then immediately after make a phone call?

I don't use voxer at all, I just know that there's an issue with the developers not using both mics in our phones(or at least thats what I am believing the low volume in the video recording is... seems like they're using only the mic that is when the phone is up against your head/mouth and not the 'speakerphone' mic to grab audio around the room)
Voxer
How did you get you voxer to work at all? i launch it, the screen flicker for about 10 secconds, then my whole pohne shuts off, and i need to remove battery to get it to come back up. any help anyone?
It just worked for me. I did a clean install, etc... The only oddity is that when the phone dialer and voxer are open [even in the background], then any subsequent phone calls have audio interference. Force close voxer and it immediately goes away. That and the low audio recording issue that everyone already knows about.
same issue
