Hi guys does the HTC ONE XL support 2 way call recording by any chance?
Cheers
You mean out of the box (like a built in app?)? If so, then no. I've heard this is illegal is some areas (at least w/o the other party knowing they are being recorded), so I believe manufacturers will not ship with this feature, at least not in the US.

In the US, the laws vary by state. Several states only require one party to consent, i.e. you can record all your calls, and the only thing forbidden is to record a call you're not a party to. Others require all parties' consent. If the call is between more than one state, you'd probably better just have all parties' consent.
I'd kind of like it if incoming callers could hear a quick "this call will be recorded; hang up if you do not consent" message, and to have my phone record everything.
Ok, everytime I get a new phone I go through this...looking for the best way of enabling this and it usually comes along...most recently with rvoix on my EVO 4G, now I have an EVO 4G LTE (I know, I know, but it is basically the same phone so don't call me out) and want to know if anybody has any information about how one might go about getting that to work on this new phone.
And, just for the sake of clarity - please avoid talking incessantly about the legality/legal issues of it - basically, we all know the law or can find out what it is in our area - this isn't a forum for lawyers. It isn't illegal to use the damn software unless you do something illegal with it.
So, on that note...any information?

It wasn't my intent to sound like I was preaching about the law, simply explaining why this type of software is not packed in.
For sake of clarity if you want to use a specific 3rd party app, you should have mentioned it in the OP. OP was very vague. Hard for people to help if you don't tell us what you are looking for.
I guess this question wasn't really directed at USA version of One XL but just one XL in general.
I use the call recorder to take notes when i dont have paper handy. My current phone the incredible S requires a kernel patch to allow it to be used with callrecorder software
the international One X has http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663642
wonder if this works on One XL

Hi guys,
For me it is indifferent to the platform, while performing well the call recording function. I need this feature for my work.
What phone/OS do you recommend?.
Thx
It's not wise to look at only one single aspects of your need to make decision because you may pay too high a price in the other areas. Anyway if you're really really wanting to only look at this requirement alone, then leave out iPhone because it can only record outgoing call (e.g., with Acrobits Softphone) but not incoming calls. Winmo phones are excellent in this area. Not sure about Android.
Edit: I take it back. I was wrong to say that iPhone can't do it. It can be done with an application by the name of "CallRec.me" mentioned here:
http://forum.tipb.com/iphone-develo...itasking-phone-call-recorder.html#post1568474 It records both incoming and outgoing calls. Be aware of the legal framework of such practice though, but that's out of topic issue here. It's suppose to work not just in US but also outside US. I don't know all the details yet, but hopefully that'll give you a headstart in your investigation.
Cheers.
Thank you very much for your answers.
With any WinMo 6.5 device I can record incoming and outgoing calls? Any device recommendation?
I was using VITO audio note back then. Worked quite well for me. I think it will work on any winmo phone in the market today still.

Now I'm using iPhone 3GS. Then, I was using HTC Touch HD.
I have a Palm Centro, and I've been using the app CallRec for years. I believe it was $20, but you can always pirate it if you're cheap. It runs in the background and records every call to a folder on the SD card, named with the phone number, date, etc. Excellent record quality, and it's actually the only reason I haven't upgraded my phone yet. I love having an archive of all my calls, especially when dealing with lying customer-service reps.
I use G1 now...
Does somebody know if the new FroYo firmware will support call recording?
The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty of awkwardness. Let us know if you fare better -- you'll find a Thunderbolt-specific download at the DroidLife source link, and a more general APK at TechPetals.
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2011/06/smile_skype_for_android_with_v.html
Figured I would drop this in here if anyone has some know how and wants to look into it to see if there is anyway for us to have this on our phone. Doubt it though considering it requires 2.3 which seems to be the standard for google video chat and stuff, but hey, its worth a shot!!!
Found some more info. Tested and still didn't work but apparently on our device but confirmed on the SGS2. Here is the link for the guy who got it working.

yep. the official requires gb and in the list of device check. with device check removed, almost all with gingerbread can use it.
man, so much we can't do without gb. This phone should have launched with it.

Yeah, one of Google's big thing at IO was that they wanted to eliminate the fragmentation, yet I haven't seen anything to indicate they're taking steps to achieve this.
Unfortunately it's one big advantage Apple has... they take a hard line position that the carrier doesn't touch the OS software, nor prevent the deployment of the updates. Not sure why Google is such a wuss when it comes to holding the carriers accountable for the timely delivery of their updates. AT&T says it's because they have to ensure a quality user experience, but comon, what AT&T customer actually believes that crap? LOL

hey, this is gonna sound like a really dumb question and way off topic but can you tell me how your notified when someone posts. I have always been one to read through forums daily but have never gotten too good at participating, as you might tell as I have been a member for 3 years and have very little posts. I personally have to try and remember the threads I participated in and see if someone replied. This seems very redundant but I don't see a better way to be notified. Thanks in advance
Is anyone's phone dying quickly after installing this. I even tried signing out and closing the app but my phone legit drains 10% an hour on standby. So I deleted the app. Now my wifi is turning on and off and can't keep a constant connection. Help?

I personally have seen no change since installing it, as for the wifi thing are you rooted and running any rom of sort of just stock? I have seen some wifi issues with the roms. Don't know if maybe the app sparked the problem or what but maybe you can backup your apps and reinstall. Good luck

The only true advantage that Apple has over Android is that they only more or less support one device. Android is spread amongst how many different devices? It's easy to put out lackluster updates to a single device, but putting out updates to 20+ different devices isn't so easy.
how are you guys even getting it to install? is it actually working?
yes please, can any one confirm that the video call on Skype is working on the infuse?
regards
no it is not working. installing the custom apk does give you the video call option, but if you press it, it goes into landscape to prepare for video call and then it does nothing. gingerbread is needed since it uses the frontfacing camera api.

Yes, my phone's battery started draining in about two hours after installing Skype, so I uninstalled and things are better again now.
Even if Skype supports video on the Infuse, I don't think I will start using it unless they address the battery usage.

I hope in not posting in the wrong part of this forum but I was freaked out today at the tmobile store. It all starts last night when I goggle map searched "bar and grill" and later searched on browser "screen names" looking for screen name ideas. So, this morning my wife and I go to tmobile to pay our bill. The clerk in an attempt to talk to my wife says "so did you find a good screen name last night? " She had no idea what he was talking about. Then he asks "how was the bar and grill? " I was immediately angry. I know there was recent proof carriers collect our data, but not only does tmobile collect logs of most things we do on our phones, the make it available to any ass working in a tmobile store! I would v believed it was that bad without seeing it for myself. I told him to give me a print out of that info he was reading but he refused. So now I'm on an AOSP BUILD. The rom I was using before was weapon btw. Why is spyware in custom roms? Does anyone work at tmobile that can confirm this? Are AOSP builds the only way to combat this? I can't believe any asshole at a tmobile store can just punch in a number and see everything we do on our phones!
I'd love to know what you guys think. Similar experiences?

I'm going to speak to an attorney friend of mine but i do believe that is extremely illegal.
Did your rep had your phone? Cause if he did, he could have been going through the search history. Either way he shouldn't be going through them.
Dang, that's real bs. I would definately seek legal action.
Well, I would assume all carriers log all data accessed (via mobile data connection at least) to supply to the gov't for profiling and legal purposes. But allowing Joe Schmoe at the store access to it is definitely a violation of your privacy. The contract probably allows them to monitor your activity but that's a bit of an overshare if you ask me.
Well you can always get check and or get rid of the Carrier IQ thing that tracks your information.
You need a rooted phone to do so and then go here to download the app because it is not on the android market.

This story is BS. Store employees do not have access to that kind of data. Almost no one within T-Mobile could get anywhere near that kind of data even if they did record any of it. Also, none of the official G2x firmwares carry CIQ.

Regular Sales Reps or even Mgrs shouldn't have any access to that kind of information. None of the systems they use can dig that deep. They can see details about minutes, texts and your bill items, etc. but thats about the extent of it. Especially through CAM, Watson or Quickview. Although I would be surprised if the network engineers couldn't get that data if they were high up enough. The carrier iq thing isn't much of a surprise to me.
Weapon is based on the stock 2.3.3 rom so the OP is plausible, not probable, but certainly not busted. It has just been enhanced but most of it is stock TMO rom.
But I do think the OP is pure BS. That type of data would not be available at the store level and an employee who revealed such info would be subject to immediate termination.

As long as you don't go around letting people touch your phone to their phone you should be fine... NFC literally needs to be right up against another.
Or just keep NFC off it you don't trust it.
This is such a farce. This is how NFC works - the radio is activated and an action is taken. The worst they could probably do is send you to a page where you *could* download something malicious if you were ignorant in what you were looking at. I can see how scanning an NFC tag could force a download depending on the URL provided but I don't believe there is any way that this action will install something without the user's knowledge. You might as well say that you can "hack" Android via the Internet because in his example, he used NFC to prompt the phone to go to a particular webpage.
You want to talk about insecure? How many people still carry around house keys?
Wear a tin-foil hat or trust technology.
Me I rather have convenience technology gives us and will offer
In other news, your wallets with all your CC info can also be stolen by a hacking technique called "pickpocket".
Jokes aside, all this means is that Google will have another patch out soon. Oh wait, too late. Already fixed in JB.
Remember Bluejacking? Nothing like sending a (harmless) "your phone has been virus infected" message to a train car full of commuters and watching all the faces. Ah, the good ol' days...

Right, when I've played with NFC, the tag has to be close enough to almost touch (with millimeters) before the phone reads the tag. And the way NFC normally works when I've used it, the phone has to be screen on, and off the lockscreen. Unless there is some way around this?
Hello guys, my name is Ignacio and i own a company that sells phones in Chile.

The devices already support it. We'll maybe not xiaomi but most likely. They do as well.
Selling cell phones and doing what you want are two different things. What you want to do is something only the isp can do.

Are you sure?. As far as i know the technology for cell broadcast is in every phone and now with Android 7.0 every phone has the option to turn on or off the cell broadcast. What i need is fairly simple, i just need someone who knows to edit some system options so the cell broadcast cant be turned off.

Well that would just require removing the switch from settings. That will prevent 99% of. People turning it off. This is an easy mod to do really. Might want to check the laws in your country. As in some countries it is illegal not. To give an option to turn it off.
