Voice announcement starting call recording. - General Questions and Answers

Dear developer, in new android version call recording has shaped in new features, in which a voice announcement is heard "this call is being recorded" third-party call recording apps also stopped working. Either how i may get rid from voice announcement starting call recording or anyhow enabled third-party call recording applications.

You can use a third-party call recording app.
There are a few trustworthy apps on the store. Such as: The "Call Recorder – Cube ACR", the "Call Recorder – ACR", the "Call Recorder Automatic", the "Automatic Call Recorder" or the "Phone by Google" app.
Use any of the apps.

Each and every third party call recorder has been disabled in new Google policy, can it be possible to bypass Google privacy policy and enter in system voice by third-party developers?

[REQUEST] Call Recorder

Is there is no call recorder for Android 2.1?
In Total Recall there's the message that it doesn't work on 2.1 sadly.
Is there no way to get it work on our Nexus?
Especially on a rooted one I thought this might work.
Where does is depend on?
Hope someone can help
Do you have the Full version of that app?
Yes I have, but they write in the description that it doens't work on 2.1
And Ultimate Voice Recorder didn't work, too.
you're right Ultimate voice doesnt work....hhmmm
This recorder works and its free.
Get a hold of the developer, seems like he needs to work on his app more
Yes but this is a voice recorder and not a call recorder
Voice recording works, but no call recording that's the problem.
i'm looking for such an app too.
Looking for a call recorder too, no progress so far.
"Total Recall" Looks good, but that's not compatible with Android 2.1
Yea I'd like a call recorder too, and not a voice recorder.
For those that don't know,
Voice recorder = only records your voice
Call recorder = records BOTH sides of the conversation.
There is apparently a hardware issue that prevents true call stream access by apps on (at least) the first generation android phones. They added an api to choose the call stream as the recording source in 1.5 but it wouldn't work properly on the hardware we had available then. There are bug reports on google's page code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117. I don't know if anyone has put serious effort into working with this api on the n1 or if it is even possible hardware wise, it probably wouldn't be a bad issue to bring up in the dev forum.
I had made this thread in dev forum but it was first closed and then moved here and reopended, because it hasn't to do anything with development they told me.
So we hope somebody reads here and maybe can help
I don't think they allow app requests per-se in the dev forum but a question about the function of those apis might garner some response. Maybe cyanogen or one of the other devs who works with the kernel source would have some idea if there are issues with the api not being fully implemented or driver support.
How bout Voice?
phone recorder works well, but there's no on/off toggle that I can see, so when you've installed it records every call.
That´s really too bad, I miss a call recorder ..had that on my last device and this saved me some troubles
Use Google Voice. Record while in your calls with just the push of a button. Simple and easy.
vRecorder has worked fine for me

I just set it up...how/where is the feature?
Edit:
Calls: Recording phone calls
To record your call, simply press 4. You can do it when you first accept a call, or any time after it's started. To stop the recording, press 4 again or hang up.
Your recordings are saved online and you can access them just like you do with voicemail.
Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail.
There are different laws that apply to call recording, so check your current state and Federal laws before using this feature. To assist in the compliance of these laws, we provide an automated verbal announcement when call recording has been initiated and when it has been stopped.

Recording a call with out notifying the other party is HIGHLY illegal FYI. I believe when you record with Google Voice it notifies both parties that the call is being recorded. Just a heads up! >;]
That being said, I always wanted a telemarketer to say "this call will be recorded for quality and assurance purposes" to which I reply: "yes, and I too shall record this call for humorous potential YouTube purposes, is that ok?"
hahaha

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.

Record calls

How to record calls with Galaxy S20 +?
Most modern phones running Android 12 have call recording functionality by default. You can see it in the call window otherwise you can go to settings > call settings. If your phone does not support call recording, I recommended you download it from the app store using the keyword 'call recorder or record'. I hope that helps you fix your issue.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't work, I would like to point out that my phone already has the update to Android 12. I would like to try to download firmware with CSC THL but I can't find it anywhere!

What phones have out-of-the-box discreet automatic call recording in 2022?

Introduction:
Before Google Dialer took over (mostly in 2021-2022), most Android phones supported discreet call recording out of the box.
However, with Google Dialer taking over, call recording was discouraged/disabled and only allowed in certain regions that Google thought fit. Even so, in those regions, you had to manually press a button to get the recording to start, it would make an announcement to all parties on the call, and lastly exporting the recordings saved by Google Dialer were an absolute pain. To make matters worse, conference calls could not be recorded. To be honest, I am surprised that this is not being talked about, considering how important a feature it is, especially in my industry.
Question:
What phones have out-of-the-box discreet automatic call recording in 2022?
Requirements:
Must not have to install any third-party app
Must not make an announcement to all parties to the call
Must allow recording conference calls, VoWiFi calls
Must have a "record all" option so that I don't have to press a button each time
Must be a 2021-2022 phone preferably running the latest Android version
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Auto Call Recording on 8T

I've tried over 20 3rd party call recording apps on my 8T.
The ones that work all have one issue in common: They create an echo for the person I'm talking to when my phone is on speaker phone.
Some apps have the option to choose the source of the recorder (mic, speaker, uplink, download, voice communication, and other options). However, after trying every combination on every app, the issue persists.
Once the app is removed, my speaker phone no longer creates an echo for the person on the other end.
What I need:
1) Auto Call Recording for every call
2) No echoing with speaker phone on or off
3) No other options/features are deal breakers
Also - I'm running Android 12 DerpFest and have tried apps that do and do not require root!
Thanks in advance to anyone able to help!
