[Q] Why no call recording? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, there are several thread about the nexus s and the call recording problem, but it's still a mistery why all call recorders on the market don't work on this phone.
Is it a hardware limitation? Does the nexus one \ galaxy nexus have problems in recording calls?
I'm new to android, I bought this phone last week because I saw a lot of recording apps on the market and I tought they were ok.
This is a main feature for me, and I'm thinking to sell the nexus (despite I love it) if I don't find a solution
Plz don't let this thread die, like the others.

mm nobody has a solution?

Hmm..is it illegal to record call? (maybe wrong.)
Anyway, try flashing MIUI GB (BM, KelLMSKing..etc), they have call record on its feature.
But dunno it works well.
Hope it works well on you.

Call recording is blocked on all stock ROMs simply because of legal/privacy ramifications. The only way to do it is through a custom ROM but even Cyanogenmod team does not allow it.

I dunno about the NS but on my old Evo Shift the stock CM7 kernel supported call recording. From what I understand its just a patch that needs to be added to the kernel. As far as illegality it varies from country to country and state to state. Personally I liked having it as an option.

Oh, you're right. In our and another country, it is illegal.. (However, I don't know Nexus S doesn't have it because of it..)
And I failed it on GB MIUI.. But I wonder if It is limited to me

yes, I'm doing researches on this community and on google, but I always find the same 4-5 topics, where nobody knows how to do.
On the KelLMSKing kernel:

Also I can't find anything useful in brainmaster kernel...

Hmm.
You failed to recording call with MIUI GB?
Let me try MIUI GB call record and I will reply result of my test on this thread.
Maybe I need to use older version of MIUI GB; Formels(not a KelLMSKing), etc.

The answer was: "CallRecorder doesnt support your phone*"
wow thanks, but I still don't know why. If it's a hardware problem, or just lazy programmer that don't want to write a patch for the kernel.

Have tests on three different MIUI GB.
1.11.18 MIUI Brainmaster, KelLMSKing MIUI 2.8.1/2.9.5, MIUI Galnet GB 2.2.10
Flash, 10 minute stablization, reboot, test.
(Thx for my bro's Galaxy S)
That three MIUI has REC button during call(both in/out), but disabled(inactivated).
My NS' battery is almost out, so my tests are over for now.
(Writing in internet club, but no one has usb data cable!)
Sorry for bad result bros
Maybe next time Ill try more, if i dare

So, no 2wcr for the nexus s... for now

Callrecorder
callrecorder app (I think it is around 10 dollar) does work with my galaxy nexus
I contacted the developer and he seems to be in the beta stage for nexus 4
the app would be updated at some point I'm sure
not immediately but it is not really a long time because the developer is an active one

google voice has call recording for incoming calls by pressing 4, it then announces the call is being recorded for the purpose of consent.
if someone calls you and you press 4 it announces the call is being recorded. if the person calling you does not want to be recorded they can hang up,

*DesireHD ROMS* Sacs / Calkulin / echo

It's getting kind of annoying to jump from thread to thread to see what is being fixed or what errors are being found with each DesireHD ROM.... I am creating this thread so we can list what problems are being found and what problems are being worked on within the 3 DesireHD ROMS....
Please feel free to post the problems you guys are finding within these roms so that I can update the listing for them.
*Sacs*
- Call waiting (you can hear the noise for another call coming in, but you can not switch over)
Sac's indicates a fix has been applied to the upcoming release
- 4G
- HDMI
*Calkulin*
- Call waiting (Not everyone is running into this issue. You can hear the noise for another call coming in, but you can not switch over)
Workaround for the call waiting issue is to activate the proximity sensor and it will display the incoming call, hense why some see it and some don't.
- 4G
- HDMI
*echo*
- Call waiting (you can hear the noise for another call coming in, but you can not switch over)

I personally have no problems answering call waiting on calkulin's rom. I have answered switched over, hung up you name it plenty of times.
-deck
Yep, was using Caulks last night and had a call waiting. No problems switching over.
(These are from Calkulin's Thread)

By far best rom ever for the EVO. The only issue I have is the caller ID. When on the phone you can hear the inbound call but the inbound phone app does not show up. Anyone else have this issue?

This is the same EXACT problem i was having... I don't understand how people are not running into this error as much... I ran into this error within 30min of the ROM... Not being able to see who is calling or being able to switch is a major issue to me... But of course Calkulin's ROM is amazing, i just wish he could fix that error...

If only one person is running into this problem, then lets not post it here... If more than one person runs into an issue, I think we should address it as a problem. What do you guys think?
Here is 3 people running into this error from Calkulin's thread.
Workaround for the call waiting issue is to activate the proximity sensor and it will display the incoming call, hense why some see it and some don't. The problem does exist but no fix as of yet from me at least

[Q] inspire call recording

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

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!

Call record working on infuse!

Using the stock povided kernel with the UCKI4 leak I have sucessfully recorded incoming and outgoing call with both voices. Most apps only worked with the speaker phone on but this seems to work internally. Have not checked to see if it is a battery hog yet either. I got it from one of the I1900 roms I was playing with and I think it is still on the market also?
I take no credit for the app or the rom. Just that I found that it does work. Testing has been limited so please also post your results if you do try it......
Thanks. Been waiting for Google Voice phone numbers to open up here in Alaska so I can record my calls. Sounds creepy when I write this but with my line of work I have to occasionally reference conversations. I'll let you know ow it works.

Nice to know I am not the only one from the great white north
thank you, ive been looking for something similar to this, i like how you can make it incognito and you dont have to see it running all the time.
I have a couple of companies that keep calling me after repeatedly asking to have me taken off of their call list so NOW i will record it and save a couple of them and if they dont stop i wil forward them to my lawyer! In the state of Texas only one person in the conversation has to know the call is being recorded to be legal. (obviously i know i am recording my own calls) now if someone uses my phone and they do not know about the app on there i would not legally be aloud to use the conversation in court. (as per my lawyers information)

OK so this modem does in fact work with call recording. Awesome! I tried for weeks to get an app to record the digital input from the other caller to no avail not realizing that the modem was the issue. However this app you posted does not (for me anyways) record anything but the audio coming over the speaker. What is working for me on the digital recording front is an app called total recall. It has an auto feature that finds the best recording setup. Option 3 or 4 worked best for me. But it does record both sides of the conversation without using the speaker.
EDIT **
Looks like only outgoing calls work properly. On any incoming call the caller cannot hear me until I go click speakerphone twice, and then recording uses the microphone, meaning is does not sound very good.
bad
who would want to record calls?

Any updates for call recording? I use the MIUI port 2.1.6
There is an icon for "record" in the dialer but it is greyed out.
I live in the state of Indiana where, as long as one party in a conversation is aware, either phone calls or personal conversations can be recorded. So it's 100% legal.

Good for getting directions or that honey goto the store and get me this list.
Hi. Came across this site and been going through it and love what I see. I enjoy this call recording. Works well on my Infuse 4g. Thanks
Are there any updates on this? Do I have to root and load a custom rom? I have tried the app and it seems that no matter what app I use, when it starts the call, the other party can't great me until I do the speakerphone on then off trick, but when I do that the quality of the recording is pretty much gone. Have to transfer it to computer and put the columns at like 500% to great anything.

these work well...check app permissions..some may be intrusive
That don't work, I have tried all of them, none work without doing the speakerphone thing. I was just wondering if there is a way to record straight from the line and how stable it was on the infuse before I decide to root and go to a custom rom.

I'm not sure about your phone. I see that you are on Roger's. I'm assuming that it is 2.3.3.
If you are still stock, I would suggest calling Roger's support.
I'm using modified unofficial firmware (MUF), rooted deodexed 2.3.6 UCLB3. Once I downloaded and install the apk, it runs in the background. Every time I made a call, it is recorded in a sound file. It sounded fine to me.
Anyway, sorry I can't help more.
If anyone wants a kinky recorded phone call, let me know. I'm selling them for $1 per download. It features Bigjoe using the Note, oldbbman using the SG3 and THE AMAZING JESSICA WABBIT on the Infuse, running AEON. Sorry folks..no videos available.

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.

Automatic call recording with root on miui 10.2?

Is there any way to automatically record the calls, similar to this fix in OnePlus?: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/9hxrt0/call_recording_on_pie/
