Can't Record Calls after Mashmallow? Tried Multiple Apps - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
On my stock Z5C before Marshmallow update I was successfully running (and recording) calls with the "Voice Recorder" app from Splend Apps. It worked well, although the sound quality was not great. Well, recently I updated the phone to Android 6.0 and today I tried using Voice Recorder but it gave me an error message: "do you have another app trying to record the call" or something like this.
First reaction was to install another app and get it to work. Well, two apps later (ACR & Call Recorder) and now I suspect this is related to Android 6.0 and not the apps.
Any suggestion on how to tackle this? Preferably without getting into in-depth rooting and things like this?
Thanks in advance,
BB

Interesting, but after reading some of the reviews I am not so confident this is 100% guaranteed to work.. and it does not seem like they offer a trail version. I explicitly believe the issues I have found are related to Android 6.0 and not the apps that I tried using, so unless I can try the app in advance I wont purchase it.

Ok, but it works for me.

Read carefully app's description in play store, there's a link for the trial, right here, on xda forums.
It also works ok on my z5.

Google Talk with Video (Thanks to Paul and BluechipJ)

Hey guys,
Previously I tried installing Google Talk w/ Video on J's CM7 to no avail. However, now that we have the official GB from SE we can now install it and I can confirm that it is working on our X10s. I know there is no front facing camera, but it's still a cool feature to have. This feature is supposed to be only for the 2.3.4 update but it can be yours if you have root. Much thanks to developer (Paul from MoDaco) for creating this installer and BluechipJ for making the youtube installation guide.
More information is in the description on the youtube video.
Shortlink to directly download the installer onto your phone (visit this in the browser, on your phone): http://jp1.ca/googlevideoinstall
Thanks Again Paul from MoDaco and BluechipJ!
NOTE: I've tried a few zips from the below thread for non wifi video function but it didn't work. If anyone is able to get it to work let me know.

Does this version only work on WiFi then? Even non-video chat?

I get FC when trying to call or start video-chat with someone.
I am on WiFi.
Weird, I wonder why that is. I installed it on both of my X10s. One running rooted stock and the other Wolf's version. Both of them work fine. I noticed that we have to allow video and voice chats once you sign into talk. You probably already did it but for those that haven't yet press your picture icon and then it will go to a update status area and you can click it there.

I like the new UI and I probably wouldn't have used voice or video ever,
but I hate it when something FCs and I don't know why!!!!
Anyway, thanks a lot, good find!
video fc's for me as well on wifi
I've tried voice chat on gtalk with 3G and it works. But I haven't try video chat on 3G yet.
Edit:
I have just tried video chat on 3G. It works for me. I am using Stock GB and talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip file

@Blisslove - I tried installing that version and for some reason it didn't work. I will try again.
UPDATE: Wolfbreak has implemented the Google Talk w/ Video in his new ROM. Can confirm it is working but I haven't tried it out over 3G yet.

I flashed it via XRecovery. I did mount everything in XR before I flashed it. When you make a video call over 3G, the other side person need to wait for 5 or 10 sec and than click accept.
I think it's depend on the 3G speed sometimes line drops. But I didn't get any FC

I know this is pretty old, but I downloaded and installed the apk. It asked for root privelages and was given them. It removed my previous version of Talk, and that's all it did. It just sites there at the screen with the picture of the guy. I've restarted the phone and even tried it again, but nothing. Now I'm stuck with now google talk at all. I'm rooted on 2.3.3. Any help?
Nevermind. Evidently debugging mode needs to be turned on for it to install properly. Got it now. I wish this had an option just for voice and no video like the ICS version.
hay any help here
!!!
i installed this as in video
on my x10 fxp107
and after the restart the phone keep rebooting
even after wipe every thing and install the rom again
what's happened here ????
any solution ??? please
Thanks a lot for this post!

Nextbook Next7s Hacking

E-Fun's latest Android tablet is now on the shelf at BigLots. It's a $99 budget device running 4.0 ICS.
I tried to install Android Market (the easy way) and the app crashes. I take that means this tablet will require a little more work. Has anyone hacked it yet?
I am also interested in knowing how to get Gapps to work on this as well...just purchased mine on the 27th at Big Lots too for the $89.99 special, been trying all apk's with no luck..keeps on crashing when clicking it.
When I sent a note to E Fun asking if there were any plans to update and add Google support, the response was:
This is not an issue we can change. Like the majority of tablets on the market Google will not grant a licenses to use their app market. The tablets are designed to work with third party Android apps sites where you can still download Android apps, the only difference is it's from a different website.​
Of course I sent them a list of bunches of budget tablets that come with access...
I don't have the technical savvy to create the necessary mods -- but if anybody out there is interested, and there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know! With access to the google apps, this would be one sweet little tablet for the price!
I found this but it is for the next7 ...shouldn't be much different, or so I'd think...I will give it a try I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that was written for Gingerbread, not ICS. The last couple of posts kind of imply that it didn't work on the Next7S.
Your right...besides not finding the USB drives anywhere (as I cannot get the sdk's to work on it) I tried to uploading the files then install and cannot get some of the apks to install, like the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk all others installed fine. With no luck on keeping the market from crashing boo! I am sure someone will be able to come up with something in due time, I hope.
Look at freaktab.com - Finless Bob has cooked a rooted rom with Google app,Super user and /system mounted r/w.
The download includes all neccessary instructions, files and utility - including driver - for Next7s. There is one clarification that I think will help... To get into the download / flash mode you need to hold down on volume rocker so that BOTH (volume up | down)switches are activated.
Thanks SO MUCH Moonpie! This has worked! With no problems and coming from me I always flub up something but the directions were very nicely typed out.
Try this blissb2599, only problem I am having is quiet a bit of apps are not compatible like my banking ... facebook, but I have an apk for facebook, old version but works lol...
Great to here reddtessa! Sorry to hear about apps not working. Maybe there will be some tweaks in future.

It's days like this that I feel somewhat challenged... I'm not seeing the Next7S ROM. Would one of you kind people point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but I'm just not seeing it...
EDIT: Yup, it was right in front of my face. Got it, installed it. Loving it!
Glad you found it..took me a min as well to find.

In case anybody else is having a hard time it's here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....Cream-Sandwich-Finless-ROM-1-2-Root-and-Gplay
Thanks for the link. I just picked up a 7s for my kid yesterday after the Next5 we got him originally quit working. I DLed the Play store APK and was like OMG-WTH every time it kicked us out. The Next5 came rooted (out of a sealed box) and had no issues with Google Play from a standard APK. If you guys have this working on the Next7s (YF031 serial) then I'll flash it.
One thing I find hysterical is on the box it states it is a Capacitive Screen, but my kid used his generic plastic stylus (intended for an older Nintendo DS) and it worked! I even tried a pencil eraser and it worked too. Does that make this a hybrid Capacitive/Resistive screen then?
****Update, I got clarification in the other thread on the two different versions of the rom. All is well, the tablet is now rooted, and is running Google Play on the Finless Rom. Very happy with how quick it was to do as well. Thanks again for the link!
Please help!

It doesn't work on the Samsung S6 Edge. Tinder gets stuck on the finding people near you page. It works with Bumble, though!

It should be good, you can double check it is working correctly by going to Google Maps for example, Tinder sometimes has problems finding people in some places (maybe server related) or you may have changed your location too often, so give Tinder some time and it should work (if there are actually any people in that place).
Thanks!
Hi, the app looks really good but I tried it with Tinder and didn't work, even downgrading to many previous versions

Hey, really trying to reproduce this but it works fine for me on old or the newest Tinder version on Android 4.4.4
Which Android version are you using?
Maybe give Tinder some time to get your new location? If you check Google Maps and see your location has changed then the app works correctly and Tinder may just be slow sometimes.
Thanks!

Hi, so I actually gave to Tinder some time and it worked with the 4.4.4 version, update released on December 2015 (pretty old) and it worked.
You say that even more recent versions work for you? I really tried them all, sometimes they worded but too many no, till going back to this 4.4.4.

So I played around with the newest Tinder version and it did seem to be stuck on finding people and it didn't update to my new location, but then I tried to log out and log back in and it worked then. Not quite sure what happens, maybe it just needs more time, either way - logging out and logging back in seems to be the quickest way to make it update your location and show you people.

Actuallly that's the only thing I didn't try :good:
Just confused about one thing, everytime I was trying an older version, I was obviously doing an unistall and a clean install, that means a log off and log on... isn't the same?
I'll try that too anyways, if it won't be handy enough I'll keep this superold but still perfectly working version

That's right, but it seems the older versions work without the log out and log in thing right away.
Devices?

Change your GPS location using this simple app. Free, no ads.
Will also keep working if you reboot your phone. To turn it off just click on the Stop button.
This tool is useful for apps like Tinder where you can change your location and explore new places.
You will need to enable mock locations on your phone from Developer options for the app to work. To enable Developer options go to Settings - About and tap Build number 7 times.
Works in Android 6 as well.

Hi, I have the same problem now with my Pixel 3a and Android 10 (everything stock). Before updating everything was fine.
I contacted pixel support and they told me that may be one of my apps that's messing with the camera, and to unistall my apps one by one to try to find which one is responsible for this situation (in safe mode the camera is working fine).
Did you find some way to fix it?
Hi there. Same here, glad to find I am not alone.
After some panic and then some 4 hours night trying all the apps, trying safe mode etc. I know the culprit: it is Google App with Assistant listening in the background. When you set the voice match to listen to your "OK Google" command (in G App setting->voice match) then you have the hiss. When you turn the function off it goes away. What is funny there is no hiss if you record using front camera. At least good it is not hardware, but extremely unpro from Google as it is their own app that causes the problem. I guess Android 10 is just not polished yet.
I am searching for the most direct way to report it, already did it through settings->tips&co->feedback, but would like to directly contact the Google App devs. Any idea?

Could you send me his/her e-mail address as well? I would report it wherever possible as many times as possible And keep us posted if any news - as will I.
I would guess that not many people might have noticed the bug yet (it's like 3 days since the debut of Android 10), but as it is software based and on a fresh, new Android version then perhaps quite a bunch of people are having this bug, but don't know about it yet or don't know where to find help.

Your solution work very well and solve the problem!!!
Thanks!!!
Happy to help Still the issue is not really resolved as this solution handicaps one of Assistants main functions.
I have reported it here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14361608?hl=en
Hope this helps and the issue is resolved with the next update of Android 10 or Google App.
Aside from the hiss problem, does the audio recording quality on A10 is the same from Android 9? For videos and audio messages...
I didn't notice any quality loss
For the hiss problema I send a feedback with "tips & support" in settings!
Hey guys. The solution I was writing about before turned out temporary (and it is not a true solution as it is spoling the actual function of the Assistant) and even with Voice Match for Assistant being turned off I got the hiss (I guess it got this way after some minor Google app update). This is unnacceptable, especially that it is Google's own core app doing it on a Google phone :/ I might just buy that Oneplus 7T if they don't fix it with October update :/
Oh, I have created an official issue thread on Google's issue tracker. Please star and comment so that they see the bug, thanks: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/141968224
Even when I disabled Voice Match, I still had the hiss while recording video and audio. I still think it is software because there is no hiss using Duo. This hiss only seems to be present when I record video or use the voice recorder. My wife's Pixel 3a doesn't seem to have the issue.
Try the Jan 2020 update. Release notes say they fixed the audio issue with video recording. Worth a shot. "Improvements for audio in video capture."

Edit: source link added
January update fixed the hiss for me.

Desperate gig worker seeking help with terrible app

Hey everyone,
I know this is probably a long shot but I'm not sure where else to go for advice.
I have the KB2007, up to date. I do gig work and doordash is one of my major sources of income. The Dasher app does not work on this phone. When I try to login, it just redirects me back to the login page without any error message.
Last week, I uninstalled the latest version of the app and grabbed an old apk. This actually ended up working and I was even able to update the app to the latest version and continue as usual. But last Sunday it suddenly stopped working. And the trick of using an old apk no longer works.
I've contacted doordash technical support but they basically didn't help and closed the case. I will keep pestering them since it seems like a bug on development side but I was wondering if anyone here has any idea what's going on and any suggestions for me to fix it.
All the usual stuff like clear cache and data doesn't work.
Thank you.

Seems like an incompability of OOS and this app.
There are plenty of versions there. I hope, you'll find one that works.
