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...

[Q] Hangouts Recorder?

I don't have a SIM card but I can make calls VoIP with Google Hangouts Voice. Is there an app that can record my calls? I know they exist for non-VoIP apps but none I tried work with Hangouts.
I tried a screen recorder that can record internal sound and microphone, but I get an error that says:
"Microphone Busy, Only one app can use microphone at a time. This is an android limitation. Close other app using the microphone (e.g. Google Now or Skype) or continue recording without audio"

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it

I just found this thread, I am also looking for a solution for this, let me know if you found anything. I use google voice a lot but unfortunately you can not record calls when usin hangouts for voice calls, I will let you know if I find something.

Apps do not receive mic input but mic itself is in a working state

Recently I am receiving a new error with my Pixel 3. If I use Google Assistant it works perfectly with my voice being recorded as well as keyboard voice input or any voice recorder. Thought when I use apps that require mic for live calls like Discord, Google Duo, Skype or Telegram they do not receive any input and sometimes they do not even provide any output. So basically I cannot talk and sometimes I cannot hear other people talking either.
This is extremely annoying. I am not even able to talk to people because of this. I used bluetooth headset and native pixel headphones during these calls and none of them worked properly.
Anyone ever stumbled upon anything like this? It seems like apps do not receive right permissions (even though I've manually set them) or something else software related. I do not understand how to Google this issue either, most issues are about mic being broken physically or something similar. Any suggestions? I appreciate your attention.

Rooted Pixel 3 Users in the U.S.A., Please Answer a Question/Do a Test for me.

Hi,
I'm trying to figure what options there are for robust call recording apps on rooted Pixel 3's.
I'd like to know if a specific call recording application functions on Andriod Pie (or later) after rooting the device.
Here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US
If those running a rooted OP6T would install the app and make a few calls I'd appreciate it.
Here's a number to Health and Human Services Office of Civil Right (all prerecorded menus; we won't bother anyone) to do test calls: (800) 368-1019
You may need to do some basic setup. Make sure call recording occurs automatically, or allow the overlay and manually engage the call recording.
For those willing to go to some effort, if at first the app doesn't work, the "Recording Settings" can be tweaked.
I don't know what the difference is between methods, other than that they change how the app tries to get voice data to record.
Can you hear both yourself and the the caller in the recording?
What recording settings were used?
What format did the recording save to (AAC/MP3/Wav?)
What is the sound quality of the recording?
Do any of the above change if you plug in a USB-C earbud/microphone or earbud/microphone attached via USB-C to 3.5mm/TRRS.
(note: bluetooth headsets have compatibility issues even on phones the app works; headset would need to be wired for this test, though info on Bluetooth would be nice if one is so inclined to provide it)
In the applications inbox for recordings, does the number or contact information show up, or is it listed only as "outgoing" or "incoming" call.
Alternatively, I'd be interested in any information/experiences rooted users may have with other call recording software. Such as Another Call Recorder - Unchained (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.nll.acr). In particular, reliability and call recording quality (as good as 'the call').

I am not going to do all of that, but Boldbeast (paid) is probably your best bet for a nice high quality recording but it requires a bunch of tweaking on a pixel running android 10.
I had absolutely 0 issues using it with my P3 on android 9, but once upgraded to android 10 the only way to get it to work (even with a magisk module they recommended) means losing your "Hey Google" and "Now Playing" auto-detect music feature within the OS (both which I like). So its either stick with Android 9 and have 0 issues, or upgrade to Android 10 and deal with a bunch of BS trying to get the Boldbeast app recorder to work. Google in android 10 is trying to block anyone from using a call recorder all together, they just want it this way. So, I digress.
My previous phone running Android 8 (which I use as a backup) has the app you listed, "Automatic Call Recorder PRO" (paid version obviously) and functions like a dream but its not my daily driver.
If I ultimately had to record a phone call, I swap my sim into that phone and have a nice WAV/MP3 file saved in the cloud.
TLDR; I have no real answer for you :laugh:

Supposedly Google is adding call recording into their phone app. I have not seen it yet.

"With Google Voice, you press a button to start recording the call and then a voice comes on and announces that the call is being recorded. Everybody can hear the voice, so everyone knows that the call is being recorded."
The whole point to using a recorder app is so that someone doesn't know they are being recorded (this is legal is certain states, such as mine).
With an announcement "You are being recorded" kind of defeats the whole purpose. Unless maybe you are trying to keep questionable people honest over the phone with a .mp3 file/proof.
Maybe a Magisk/root hack would be able to turn off this message if google so-chooses to embed it that into the app.

That's my conundrum as well. Legal for me to record. Moreover it's better to have an app automatically record all calls, and be able to organize them into a database with call notes to keep track of who and when. Half of my want to find a way to continue using the existing call recording app, is to preserve the existing database.

Right, that would not be legal in my state.

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!
