Hi guys,
Is call recording possible on HTC Sensation?
Could you test please:
- Totall Recall
- CallRecorder (DSoft)
and tell me about quality of recording from both sides?
Cheers

I'm also curious on this as call recording is essential to me and I own Total Recall on Symbian (Nokia E72) and would not move to an Android device that does not fully support it (or anything with similar features, but I know of no alternatives at the time).
Asking the developer would be a good idea, but then again, maybe some of you need to... erhm.... recall some calls...

I got callrecorder on dhd and works perfectly. But my dhd is rooted. Don't know if something change in functionality.

Call recorder widget works, but the recordings are pretty quiet.

Callrecorder requires root to fully function properly. This is one of several reasons I'm waiting for the Sensation to be totally opened up.

I have it on my rooted Samsung vibrant and it records perfectly. Mine isn't an app, it is located in the call screen while I am calling.

As I said, to function "properly" it needs root. It obviously functions without root, but not as fully intended.

Results...
Tried Already Total Recall & Call Recorder (DSoft)... (Perma-Temp Rooted HTC Sensation 4G)
Results:
Total Recall -> bit buggy and noisy when recording... (records via mic)
CallRecorder (DSoft) -> clear recording but via mic also... (so... not so loud the "other side" of the conversation)
Nothing even close to CallRecorder (skvalex) on my HTC Inspire 4G...
Nothing new here? any real recording solution?

up ..
this is an essential thing for me ..
anyone found a good recording app for the sensation ??

+ 1
I have tried so many call recording apps but to no avail
All of them are either "speakerphone enabled" or just not recording at all.
I hope after we root our phones we could use a real incall recording.

any news on call recorder now that we have s-off?

I found that when using the hand-free option (or even just the speaker for playing MP3), the sound is crappy. Not sure if related. Are you all happy with the big speaker of the Sensation ?

Nowhere near as loud as old samsungs or nokias i previously owned.
Anyone managed to port the 2-way call recording patch used on Desire HD? It worked flawlessly on DHD, it would be great to have it on Sensation.

No hope at all?

which apps should do it ? please give me 2 or 3 names, and I will test them this after noon. I have upgraded to latest everything ... maybe they will work now with all updates I have. The ones that used to bug or give crapy sound

There's only one posted by avs333, but it's for Desire HD (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048182&highlight=call+recording)
All other call recording apps failed to work or the recording quality was very poor.
It worked perfectly on DHD and i was hoping to see a patch for Sensation.

Please, tell me which ones. I will test them occasionally, and check for updates.

From market you can try Total Recall by Killer Mobile or AutoCallRecorder by Roman G. but these apps use the mic to record incoming voice, hence the quality is poor.
The only app that works properly is CallRecorder by Skvalex, but it requires a kernel patch (see app description on market), which brings me to my original question:
On Sensation, is it possible to patch the kernel to include the modifications required by this app?

[Q] SRS & Dolby Sound Profiles on XE Based ROM

Is there anyway to get the SRS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Profiles on an XE based ROM?
Beats audio is good, but i'd prefer to have the option between them all, & i think the dolby audio while watching videos sounds better.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.6.4 on a regular sensation

Same here also, im trying to find a thread that will enable the dolby/srs mobile on ARHD 3.6.2 rom.. Still cant find it..

This is availble for sense 3.5 based roms. I know that. But can't find it for 3.0.

How's your video recording on your phone friend, I tried mine today the video quality is ok but the audio is bad, I mean there's too much base on the audio that you could barely understand the people talking on the recorded video. I took the video inside my room no noise whatsoever.
Have you seen this thread or have you tried the mods they have here. Here is the thread link

Sounds like you have stereo record on as you are recording. Do you have mikes camera mod installed?
I particularly like mikes camera mod, it allows you to manipulate the bitrate for videos. If you don't have it you should get it
But try switching stereo record off in your settings and see if that works for you. If thy doesn't work try clearing data from the camcorder ap then reboot, test it out and let me know

[Q] Bad sound from Sensation's movies.

Today I tested move making by my new phone.
I observe that sound from movies are bad, distorted. (movie file checked at PC)
Is this a typical for this device? Is this a software/hardware problem?

Do you mean video recording? If so, yes, stereo sound recording (mono works fine) is clipped and distorted in Sense 3.0 - the mic gain is set on too high. It's fixed in Sense 3.5 if you want to try a ROM with that.

Clipped - yes, it's a good word.
At mono mode the problem not occur - thx.

You would need to most likely downgrade to gingerbread firmware and install one of the older Sense 3.5 beta Roms. I used to use Bulletproof and stereo recording was great on that rom.
You might want to stay on ICS/Sense 3.6 and give lgcamera a shot from the market. I use it to get higher bitrate in video and aac audio.

[Q] Equalizer not working on ICS Roms?

Been using ics roms for a while now. I just notice that the app I have been using called equalizer is not working with my HTC music. The setting that I have made on it will not take effect. Is this a known issue and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Hi looks like we have the same problem i upgrade to ICS and found out that Equalizer is not yet compatible with ICS, though I really like it coz it produce good quality on the music player combined with the Beats. Gotta wait for that officially from developer. So there's nothing we can do for now

Equalizer is the only reason I went back to gingerbread. Volume+ is working with ICS roms , but is not like in gingerbread.

Firstly, HELLO FELLOW SINGAPOREANS!
And yes, sadly, Equalizer is currently not compatible with ICS ROMs. But don't you fret, it should be compatible soon!

not sure what you mean or looking for....to have the cap of recording calls or just making a voice/sound recording?

What I mean is an app that record phone calls when people call me and I call them.
