Hi,
I am using Samsung Galaxy S7 running Android Oreo with the latest Boldbeast recorder. When I record a call, it is only recording my voice and not the voice of the person on the line. Why is that so? It used to work great prior to the update of the phone and the app. So, I am not able to figure out what is causing this. What should I do?
Thanks
Bump....
A lot of the call recorders stopped working with Oreo. Due to some google security feature. I've heard that ACR still works on Oreo, and also a dutch named gespreksopname.
does the native call record still work with oreo for those with rooted samsung phones?
The call record button in the dialer in an Oreo ROM on my S7. So that works.
I also use Boldbeast recorder. It has like a dozen different methods of recording to choose from, and another half dozen more if you have root. They keep their app pretty up to date. I'd be surprised if none of those different choices worked. When I first tried it, it took a couple tries to find a good method. I haven't yet tried it in Oreo though.

Anybody, please?
I'm also interested in this feature.
Do you have root? I'd recommend trying Call Recorder by Skvalex and seeing if that works. It's the best app for this, and he's usually supportive of getting these devices to work.
This is his app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en
Anybody pls?
Can someone check it out please?

I would definitely help if I had the device. Surely someone will come along and spare 5mins of their time testing this out as this is a requirement for many people.
On the same boat. I had Sanity working on SGS2 (Sprint) and it worked perfectly. However, on Nexus 5 it says "Sanity failed to start recording". I tried all the different recording modes.
This is a very important feature for me so I hope someone comes along and figures it out for all of us.
Thank you in advance.
Here is where you need to go to follow an active thread about call recording for various different phones. I've seen the Nexus 5 come up several times in that thread. It won't be long and there will be a solution.

I have just installed this to my rooted N5 and it works very well... clear, proper line recording...

Well worth it to spend a bit to support the dev too, so buy the not-free one after verifying the free one works on your device.

I confirm that this is properly doing line recording :good: (vs. mic recording ) on my rooted N5. 30 days trial. Then it is €7/$10 I believe...
LGE didn't disable the call recording feature of Nexus 5 Android 4.4, so the phone can records calls, no root needed, almost all recorders work well.
I'm afraid Nexus 5 Android 5.0 is a different situation. We checked the "Android 5.0 Preview release", it disabled the call recording feature, no recorder works without root. Even after rooting the phone it's hard to find a recorder that works well, because SELinux prevents recorders to "fix recording problems". Recorder developers are improving their apps. Hope there is a good solution at the end.
Of course, several days later, maybe the "Android 5.0 Final release" enables the call recording feature, therefore all recorders work without root.

hard to say. The call recorder I have used for years works for me on L, with fewer modifications than on KK. Yes it needs root, and to use root, don't we need to set SELinux to permissive in boot.img anyway?

Yes, of course. If SELinux is set to permissive everything is OK.

I installed the latest version from store yesterday (7.4 GP) for my rooted N5. Settings chosen were as below:
- Record Mode: 1 or 5
- Tune Special: No
- Change Audio Controls: Yes
- Change Audio Driver: No
It worked but the voice of other person is not clear, its very shrieky. My voice is clear though. Is that a known issue and do we have a solution for that?
Thanks.

Other Nexus 5 users reported the settings worked well.
If you enable the "Tune Special" option does it have any change? If the problem is still there please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send hardware log files to us, let us have a look at them. Thanks.

2 way call recording on non rooted Nexus 5 is disabled by the manufacturer.
There is no way to overcome this without rooting and the "best" workaround would be to turn the speaker on when recording calls.
For rooted Nexus 5 devices, many recording apps will enable 2 way call recording.
You can try our Jit Call Recorder app.
It was developed on various devices including rooted Nexus 5 and it records both sides of the call, including calls made with Bluetooth connected.
This is a fully functional version of the app limited only by the amount of displayed recordings and the ability to delete recordings. If you find it suitable, you can purchase a license in a small price of ~ 1$.
On my rooted Nexus 5 it does not work. I have tried all the recording methods (mic, audio in, etc)

Are you referring to Jit Call Recorder?
Hi, I've tried using many apps but they don't seem to be good at recording the person on the other end of the line.
The app I'm currently using is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.globaleffect.callrecord&hl=en
In the recordings I can only hear my self speaking perfectly, not the person on the other line.
Are there any apps that record both people perfectly?

I use Call Recorder by Skvortsov. It works great for me, but your phone has to be rooted. I have tried several others but this the only one that worked. If your phone isn't rooted then there aren't any apps that work with the nexus5. Hope this helps.
I'm on lollipop. If I root it will it cause me issues receiving updates in the future?

I've been using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en It doesn't feature any particularly elegant design, but it has worked reliably for me every time. I don't think there's any recorder that will be "good" at recording the party at the other end -- but this does catch them and, if you pump the volume a bit, they're clear enough. This one is also free.
Best call recorder
The call recorder I spoke about in an earlier thread does great at recording both sides of the conversation. There are several settings for it. The phone can either record all conversations or you can have it ask you after every call whether you want to save or delete. It is really an excellent app. I've been using call recorder apps for my last two android phones. My last one was a Note 1. The problem is Google did something to Kit Kat that doesn't allow these apps to work properly without rooting the phone. I wish they would correct this problem. The main reason I root my phone is for the call recorder. I need it for business.
You will still get updates if you root the phone, but you will lose root on major updates. There are ways not to lose root on the lesser updates like small fixes to problems in the software. But you will lose it on the major updates. I haven't updated for KitKat to Lollipop yet because a some of the apps I use a lot don't seem to be working with the update. I'll wait until it gets fixed.
Call recording is important enough for me that I've stuck with a Samsung S5 for the last five years now solely to ensure all my calls are recorded. Sadly this phone is close to dying and I was interested in the Pixel 4A.
On the ACR reddit page it mentions that true two-way-call-recording from the audio source should be possible on Android 11 by rooting the phone and installing something called the Magisk repo with the “callrecorder-skvalex” module. I'm just looking for reassurance that this will work with the Pixel 4A before I buy it please.
Also, other than voiding the warranty is there any issues that arise with rooting your phone? Are you still able to download apps from the google play store with a rooted phone?
edit: I would be buying the UK version if that makes a difference.
Rooting your phone will make your phone less secure but as long as you use common sense when it comes to the apps and modules you install you should be fine. Google Pay will not work on a rooted phone (unless you spoof safetynet), but you will keep all google play functionality. Ive noticed that netflix disappears from Google Play when your phone is rooted, but you can just download it from a mirror site or the Aurora Store.
I havent personally used the module you mentioned, so i cant comment on whether or not itll work. And of course unlocking the bootloader will factory reset your device.

Cheers for the info. Sounds like you Magisk... can I ask what method or guide you used to root your pixel and install Magisk?

Use the standard patching of boot.img then boot it and direct install of magisk. Google hosts their own factory images where you can get the boot image.

I'm in the same exact boat as the OP. Galaxy S5, trying to find a phone to maintain call recording. Am trying a G950F first, but so far not looking good. Tmobile SIM in it to undo RMM=Prenormal and cell signal is terrible. 1 to 0 bars, -115dBm LTE signal (-120dBm being the 'worst' as I've learned). So considering the Pixel 4a despite wanting more storage than 128gb. Would prefer OnePlus except the size is to...not something I want to try to fit in my pockets, despite having large hands that would like a larger phone.
Very interested in hearing peoples rooting experiences on Pixel 4a and call recording functionality.
I'm coming from an S7 myself. My 4a has Android 11 installed and with the Callrecorder app from Skvalex + the corresponding Magisk module, call recording worked perfectly. After thinking how many times I actually needed the recorded call on my old S7, I decided to get rid of the call recording app.
Latest version of Boldbeast Recorder with their Magisk module works perfect
I am sad to report that skyvalex call recorder does not record calls on my new pixel 4a 5G and I just emailed the developer about it. It used to work on my pixel 3a with android 10.
The program runs and creates audio files of the expected length, but when you play them back, there is no audio. And, yes, my phone is rooted with magisk and has the skyvalex magisk module installed. I suspect that something has changed in android 11 that is keeping it from capturing the audio.
I shall now try boldbeast since beeshyams says it works for him.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm expecting delivery of a 4a 5g and want calling recording. So I'm hopeful that you making Skyvalex aware might accelerate the development of a fix.
Also, I don't know if this will be of help, but in my research last year I encountered this comment on an XDA article (thank goodness I bookmarked things!):
" Lexxior • 8 months ago • edited
It still works on Pie and Q if you have root. Just install app systemizer from Magisk and turn your desired call recorder into a system app. I have been using ACR for months this way and it works flawlessly."
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-11-call-recording/#comment
maybe if you can't find a app to work with root systemizing will still work well on Android 11 as well.
Edit: did some more searching around, came across an interesting post on BoldBeast. last post in thread by Admin:
https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/top...issions-for-android-11-for-pixel-2-xl-p2.html
apparently latest version of boldbeast should work fine on Android 11 according to developer.

Aha! The skyvalex developer figured it out after I contacted him and sent logs! The problem was that I was connected to wifi and so the phone was using VoLTE, or VoIP, or Wi-Fi for calling. None of these can be recorded - only calls using the phone network.. So I turned off wifi and then the calls were properly recorded on the 4a 5G using skyvalex call recorder with the magisk module. I am happy that I can get high quality phone call recording again.
This limitation is caused by android, not the app and is documented in the faq here: https://callrecorder.skvalex.com/faq I checked and the boldbeast app has the same limitation: Only normal calls can be recorded, wifi calls can't be recorded no matter what recorder you are using, so if your phone supports the wifi call feature please disable it.
I am going to create a simple tasker scene that will turn off wifi whenever I place or answer a phone call - I think that may solve the problem for me. If you get empty recording files, try turning off wifi before starting your call and tell us what you find.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I found out through some google searches that you can also record phone calls by using the built-in screen recorder BUT you do have to have speakerphone on or it won't hear the person on the other end.
Not an ideal method as it records not only the audio but also whatever is happening on the screen but it could be useful in a pinch. To make it easier to access, you can drag the Screen Record icon to the first page of the Android Quick Settings. I used this method a couple of times before the dev helped me get skyvalex working again by turning off wifi. The resulting files are bigger than you would like because they include a video of the screen but you could always extract the audio only if you wanted/needed to.
Hi there,
Anyone can suggest a good call recorder app for the 5 II? My favourite ACR stopped working a while ago and instead of fixing it they released a new app, combined dialer and everything, but it doesn't work either so I need something to record my calls. Phone just updated to android 11, no root, stock firmware.
Thanks!

I use LG V20 Android 8.0 and I use boldbeast VOIP call recorder. Can't get it to work on newer Android versions. I think the main problem is that boldbeast works on older magisk versions and they are not supported on newer Android versions. However, I encounter kernel crashes sometimes and probably will not stay on 8.0 because of this reason, dowgrading to 7 I guess would be crazy and still unclear if it'll work reliably. Unfortunately boldbeast works on very very specific configurations. Could someone tell me what device with newer Android version and what app could record VOIP calls, preferably that it could record anything, for example playing music like boldbeast. It's crazy to be stuck on 8.0 only to have this ability. I don't see any issues recording on PC, so I hope there is some solution. Thanks.
