Can I use second microphone for calls ? - Miscellaneous Android Development

I have a huawei p10 lite and recently people couldnt hear me well when talking on the phone. I checked via voice/video recording, whatsapp calling, using loud speaker etc and found out that main mic has problems, but secondary mic located on the top records good and clearly. So is there any app, mod or something I can do to make the secondary mic default for normal call speaking? I have warranty but where I live companies are crap, I am certain they will just say you broke it since I even tried it in front of them for call quality etc and it was ok back than.

Hi supporters, has anyone got Call Recorder or some similar application for Windows mobile, Or is it virtually impossible, b'cuz of the hardware incompatibility ?
There must have been discussion on this before as well, i am sure..

Resco AudioRecorder and Vito Audio Notes will do what you want to do, if your device supports the feature.
On my HTC Wizard the only way to record both sides of the conversation is to turn the speaker-phone on.
The Vito programmers have included a function in Audio Notes that turns on the speaker-phone automatically when you answer a call. I would assume that they did this because they found no other way around the problem on some devices.
Hope this helps.

OMG use search ffs theres a thread as long as your arm (perhaps even longer) where the slickest programmers in the know from XDA dev try everything (and i mean everything) to get this to work then outline the reasons why it wont.

hey buddy, thank u so much for lettin' me know about Vito Audio Notes, it works perfectly fine with my phone, though it needs the speakerphone to be on, while recording. But Something is always better than Nothing. I can compromise on that. And unlike Nokia, there are no more continuous annoyin' beeps at the background, while recording. Thanks again, mate.

Phone call recording will not work on Palm treo 700w and 750v
Phone call PVR
Phone call PVR is the personal voice recorder mobile application that provides real time phone call recording using Automatic or Manual capture modes. It allows you to record your mobile phone conversations, either by recording all phone calls automatically, or by recording the next call you make.
Note:- Due to hardware limitation, when using LivePVR for phone call recording, the call must be made in speaker mode on some Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices for LivePVR to record the voice at theother end. Otherwise, the voice of the party at the other end may not be clear in the recorded file. Please check the trial version before making a purchase if this is not acceptable to you.

mVoice disappoints too
I was hoping that mVoice will provide a solution but it disappointed me.
http://www.motionapps.com/product/mvoice/index.jsp
Here is an extract from mVoice manual:
"For Treo devices direct phone call recording is not available because of the hardware limitations of Treo devices. However phone calls can be recorded on Treo 750/700w having the following in mind:
− If you are using a headset you will be able to record only your voice - sound from the other side of a call cannot reach mVoice since Treo directs it to the ear speaker.
− If you are not using a headset, sound from both participants of the phone call will be recorded, but to make it usable you should turn on the "Speaker Phone" option after answering the call."
Record calls with Wizard without speaker phone
I can record calls getting both sides of the conversation without having to be in speaker phone mode. using my Wizard. Button 4, just hold it down and it will record as long as you hold the button down. I have that button (4) assigned to Record.

Button? what button? Do you mean function + 4 on the keyboard? Or the touchscreen "4" button?

Install this cab file, and install any voice record software, it will record two-way conversation. This cab was created by Mskip, even though I found the reg file.

Do you have a link for the voice recorder app (in .cab form) that comes with the phone.. the one that starts recording when you hold down Button 4. I installed a custom ROM that didn't come with this app.

WM Sound Recorder
I use WM Sound Recorder to record my HTC Touch Pro phone conversation. It could record outgoing and incoming calls automatically. maybe you could have atry.
In short
Call recording and answering machine softwares are available , but needs speaker phone to be on.
This is hardware limitation with HTC but works with some other windows mobile devices like O2.
If works with HTC please let us all know.
Recording for mobile phone users
While this thread is old, a Google search for the topic finds it, so I'll comment. I've always found a voice recorder useful, for general non-phone, landline, and mobile phone use (particularly for recording otherwise undocumented customer (dis)services promises). A Nokia 9500 phone with Psiloc Extended Recorder software gave me most of what I wanted when out and about, but landline recording was problematical. Windows Mobile is more difficult.
But I've found a solution which is pretty much perfect for me. It sounds theoretically awful, like recording music with a microphone in front of the radio, but works extremely well, with both sides of the conversation recording at similar sound levels and without extraneous noise. After buying a "cheap" Chinese recorder which plugged into the landline connection, that ticked the right boxes and worked as specified, but didn't do the job well in practice, I got the right equipment: a tiny voice recorder (95x37x10mm, 47g) and a microphone that sits in your ear, underneath the phone speaker or a hands-free (but not in-ear) headset. Olympus does lots of suitable recorders; I found the WS-210S 2nd-hand & cheap. The unique bit is the Olympus telephone pickup TP-7. It will record with the pickup from any phone you use (eg payphone), and of course from its microphone. The lowest-quality audio (138 hours in 512k! - don't go overboard for massive memory) is 100% fine for understandable speech, voice-activated recording, and low microphone sensitivity for phone or close dictation, high for general conversation. Makes small (60kB/min) time-stamped WMA recordings with useless file names which I move and rename ASAP to a computer into which I have USB-plugged the recorder.
This is so much more versatile than mobile-only software, for about 37 GBP (but no need to buy new version when I change phone) and a small gadget and cable to carry, that I have happily given up the complications of software. I use the mobile phone (and other people's phones) without a headset, and the landline with a Plantronics over-ear headset.
HTH, pol08
PS problems with Chinese voice recorder: needed fiddly settings every time used, didn't start in right mode; voice-activated recording didn't work with compression, and uncompressed file was huge .WAV; compressed file format was non-standard .ACT - could play only with Windows software supplied, but no editing to trim silences; no timestamp.
Since there are recent comments on this thread....
Thus typing-in....ACR call recorded has worked for me without the speaker mode also..
It works smoothly...

Record incoming and outgoing calls

Before i had a droid 3, it wasnt possible to record incoming and outgoing calls. I am owning a Photon Q 4g LTE now, and i was wondering if it works with this device or not?
I have Google Voice, which allows me to record incoming calls.
If you want to record any calls, I'd guess you'd need some sort of an app. There are a few... have you tried any of them?
This one I saw on the front page of xda-devs not too long ago.
There's a bunch on the Play Store as well.
There is also a module for Xposed Framework that allows you to record calls.

Indeed, there are a lot of recorders like that, mut some phones like the droid 3 dont support it. The S3 does support.
I have a Photon Q 4G now, and i was wondering if this phone supports it or not.. If you guyz have this phone, i would appreciate if you could install that app called "" in call recorder "" than go to settings of that app -call recorder settings-Audio Source, and select PHONE LINE.
now make phone call, if it works than i know enough..

Well I have this application, and when I have audio source set to PhoneLine only first couple of seconds is recorded correctly, then recorded voice becomes all squeaky and hardly understandable, but no impact on call quiality. When set to Microphone the other party does not hear me at all. I got a response from the author about my issue, he suggested to use Microphone and higher Gain Level, but I haven't tried it yet.When I do I'll post my results.
Unfortunately no help...
Might be a little non-trivial to set up however using Google-Voice adds the functionality to record calls to this phone..
It is a little tricky to get it working correctly with Sprint in general but well worth it! You can record, then access everything online including texting and calling (using your phones number and plan) from the web..
I know some people may not like using google for things like that but it just works so good...

T-Mobile Z3 (D6616) Speaker phone not working

Hello,
Recently I noticed that when I put a call on speaker, I can hear just fine, but the person on the other end can't hear me at all, and in some cases report a loud, windy noise. I don't understand what's causing this, as the normal phone works fine, the microphone records my voice clearly when using a voice recorder, and the video camera records sounds flawlessly.
Could this be an issue with the network? Or does the speakerphone use a separate microphone? Maybe the phone's hardware/software?

I have the same issue with a brand new Z3 from Tmobile as well. Guess what, so does my wife who ordered one on the same day!
The issue we have is that if you switch the phone to speakerphone, there's this crazy background noise that makes hearing someone completely impossible. I read on a different forum that the fix is to go to SETTINGS/CALL SETTINGS/ and turn off the Microphone Noise Canceler. While that does drop the noise out completely, the lack of a noise canceler means the other person can now hear themselves talking when on the phone with you.
I also tried another setting someone recommended which is called CLEAR+, but that sadly didn't have any effect at all.
Anyone else figured this out?
I know this post is old but I seem to have the same problem (minus the noise you guys describe). During an in ear call, the conversation is crystal clear both ways, it is when i place the call on speaker that the other end cannot hear me.
Searching for a solution, I came up with two (some say the OK GOOGLE works perfect, while for others it has no impact).
I have tried the OK Google 'fix' unfortunately, this did not work on my handset. Google app > Settings > Voice > OK Google Detection (switch off)
What seemed to "help" (didn't really fix the problem though) is going into Google Music app > Equalizer > Mic sensitivity > High
While the person on the other end can now hear me, it seems my voice is not too crisp and clear. Not sure what else to do in order to get the mic to work properly over speaker.

Bad Call Quality/Volume on LG G3 D850, any fix?

Initial Title: Disabling Voice Privacy Option on LG G3 D850, how?
Hello mates .
Call Quality and Volume are not being good so far, and i saw people saying to turn off "Voice enhancement, Noise Suppression, and Voice Privacy", well the thing is... Where's Voice Privacy option in this model? :S, is there any way to make it visible by changing anything on build.prop or other file? "just like when on build.prop we change the line ro.build.target_operator from "ATT" to "OPEN" and more options become visible on the network options just like being able to choose between 2g/3g/4g, that by default is a hidden option in this model".
Don't think it's faulty device because hearing music on the in-call speaker is working without problems, and recording voice is also good.
Please help me, it's frustrating having a phone BAD in Phonecalls .
Best Regards

Update
Title: Bad Call Quality/Volume on LG G3 D850, any fix?
Messing around a little bit more i found out how to add Voice Privacy Option on D850, but i don't recommend because it's useless, that option is only on CDMA mode and as D850 doesn't have CDMA you can be sure that just like happened to me your SIM won't be recognized anymore on your phone and you'll have to factory reset/full wipe all, so Forget it really!
About the bad quality/volume on calls, since front speaker hears good on listening to music and recording voice, maybe a software or hardware problem "in Kit Kat i noticed it was worse than Lollipop" but even on Lollipop quality and Volume are still bad, so i wanna ask you: any fix for this bad call quality?, and: what is the name of the object on smartphones, that works like an antenna for the calls?, because maybe it can be a faulty piece being fixable by replacing with a new one.
Best Regards

It was be under calling or phone under settings. And depends on what you mean by bad call quality. That normally is an issue with the mic or network issue

Thanks for answering.
Yes but the thing is that the Option Voice Privacy seems to be a not 'visible' setting on this model "just like the changing 2g/3g/4g Network, but was visible after changes in build.prop" :S.
Bad quality - It should be more clear, loud, and it seems like it's trying to suppress noise even without that option activated".
Network has maximum signal, and mic records well on Voice Recording so it should do fine also on calls i think :S.
PS: also heard about Hd Voice and presets on phonecalls, where's those options at in this model?.

Question Problem with sound in voice calls in messengers after upgrade to Android 13

I have Samsung galaxy A32 5g ,model sm-a326u. A 2-3 weeks ago it received OTA upgrade to Android 13 Tiramisu. And after that upgrade i can't use any voice calls via WhatsApp ,Viber, Google voice, skype, Signal, etc. - anything that uses microphone and internet calls. The other side hears very distorted voice, not recognizable at all. When I use test calls on Skype I hear the same, totally unrecognizable voice (can't test in WhatsApp or Viber, there are no test call options). I thought that is a mic problem, but no, video or audio recording from camera works without problems, online mic tests are passed too. Regular phone calls are fine, but no Google Voice calls. Also, if i use any Bluetooth headphones (I tested 3 different), there is no sound coming from me in internet calls to other side.
Please help
Looks like people have all kinds of sound problems after Android update, reported here Samsung Community forum and here, and here
I tried a few things to fix this issue: clear the cache partition of the phone (doesn't help at all), reset all network settings (doesn't help at all). Only Factory data reset seems to fix it. But it is not the best solution, a lot of apps and data can't be easy restored after that.
I had same issue on various Android 13 roms. Trying different roms did NOT fix the problem.
The FIX is to
Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload
Now all the messenger app's audio works perfectly!
Enjoy!
