Is it possible to record phone conversations on this model. All I seem to get is the sound recorded from th e microphone? :shock:
Hmm, I thought that was illegal anyway.
Well, if the person on the other end doesn't know that you're recording that is
I suspect that the phone software has been deliberately coded to try and block any attempts to do this, as it is indeed illegal unless you notify the other person at the beginning of the call that you are recording the conversation. (it's called wiretapping, and it's still inexcusable as evidence in a court of law)

Thanks for your input all.
My Sony Ericsson t610i records phone conversations at the touch of a button, so it's not illegal. It is also possible to buy and use phone recorders for landlines quite readily
As I understand it, is only illegal if you are a business and record and save conversations and details without the usual disclaimer at the beginning of a call, private individuals can do whatever they want.
As it happens some scumbag stole my xda at the weekend so I'm back to using my old 610i at the moment!
Yes, it can be done without any trick, at least with my device… I’ve tried several times and it works fine.
About the question to be illegal or not, I think this would vary depending of the country’s laws where you are living. :wink:
In the Uk, recording a private phonecall is legal, as long as it is for your own use. The moment you intend to make the recording available to a third party, you need the consent of the other person in the recorded call.
An outline of the Legal issues of recording Calls
I too have been looking for ways to record my calls on my XDAIIi. I think the developers are just lazy, as it is obvious that if the duplex can be sent to the handsfree. Then surely it can be sent through a recording loop. Any way please see the below attachment outlining recording of Phone calls in the US, UK. Canada, and Australia. I took it from http://www.voicecallcentral.com/help/acc/source/legal/contents.htm
It also clearly states why people may want to record their conversations - especially when dealing with corporations who record their calls, but always conveniently lose the recording where they said you were right....
YAA Its possible i do it regularly on my 2i your convesation should be with speakers on and just press the record button that would do the needful
I generally have no interest in recording my phone calls, but sometimes when I make calls to certain entities (for example, AT&T) they make promises to me that they do not end up keeping, and the issue turns into one of my word against theirs. I was hoping to find out whether or not anyone can recommend a free call recording software that works on the Kaiser. Thanks in advance.

Well Sherpa, thanks so much for your reply. I should have mentioned this in my first post, but one of the things that I'd read when SEARCHING (believe it or not, I do that before I post) was that the restriction may lay in the OS. I was hoping, although I admit it was a long shot, that in the last few months, since WM6.1 had come along, that perhaps a viable call recording option had been released.
The limitation is not in the OS, it is in the hardware.
The OS does not have access to the phone's audio stream.
I tried IRC and it locks my phone and makes it on the next call gives errors. What is a nice app. I will pay if I have to!
I have a Sprint Touch Pro WM6.1

search for ACR
Record a Call
Here you go. Here's the newest Version that I use. Works excellent for me.
agree to above, works really great!
It records my voice and not the other parties. I installed the cab with File Explorer. and everything looks like it works but doesnt record the person on the other line.
I'm guessing it doesn't record the other parties voice because recording someone without them knowing is illegal.
Well I'm using on a Htc Fuze and works flawlessly. But I do only use an Earpiece when I'm using my phone. And all my calls are recorded unless I disable ACR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also try to make sure your volume is up to full to make sure it picks up the callers audio. Or they will be very low and you can barley here them. Of course your voice is going to be louder than your callers. One other thing you can try just for the hell of it: try using the speaker phone and see if that's helps. And create a file on your SD card to send your recording to, and that should do it.
Another thing to check is: when your on a call hit menu and see if record call is high lighted if so, then you can record your call that way too.
Good Luck let me know if that''s helps you out!!
Maybe where you live, but here in Minnesota, USA, only one person needs to know the call is being recorded. I used ICR in the past, but it was cooked into a rom, I'll try out ACR and see how it goes.
ICR would record both parties, but it would make a beep noise when you started it, and it wouldn't auto-record.
If anyone knows how to disable that beep, ICR would work for me.

I'm pretty sure it's all over the US
The two party call recording is illegal in some states but not all the states. Even in states where it is illegal, you can record two party conversation but need to state upfront that the call is being recorded and if the other party objects to being recorded then you need to stop recording it
I'm surprised as no one has released a good Phone Call recorder.
Anyone know of anything in development?
afaik there is a restriction in the android system, which prevents phone calls from being recorded except the handsfree speaker is on. might be legal issues.
i use vrecord (think thats the name) it records every call i make tho you can turn it off
i have uk t moile g2 and works fine for me

Ehmmmm. Could you point us to this app, as I can't see it in market, and only mention I see of it is for the iPhone. Does it exist as an Android app yet?
I thought it was a hardware/firmware restriction so I don't quite believe this works fully (although I would love to be proved wrong)
I think he means this one....
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-publishandroidapps-vrecorder-jjDB.aspx
It only records both sides of the phone call when the speaker is activated.
Does anyone know, if the windows phone 8.1 will support active background tasks for in call recording?
I am so desperate for a decent call recorder like for the old windows mobile 6.X, android or symbian. IMHO this lack of support for that feature is the killer reason, why many people are not buying one windows phone device.
Any news on this topic would be appreciated.

I highly doubt this is a the reason for a slow uptake in WP usage, but in any case, I have two things to say;

I don't believe third party apps will ever get capabilities to do such a thing. Also, a reason to not offer it directly from Microsoft, call recording is illegal in many countries.

in many countries like Saudi Arabia women cant drive a car becouse this is illegal, so why Nokia DRIVE is there?
Calls recording have all business phones on the earth so this future must be in Windows Phone 8.1

Because men can use it, what a strange thing to sayy, anyhow,
Call recording laws would affect everyone, not just one gender. In the uk as long as one party is aware of recording taking place its legal, ie unless you have a court order you can't listen to someone else's phone call. Which would allow call recording software. However, wp may not allow a sandboxed app to have access to this feature. I also doubt very much its a must have killer feature. Yes it would be nice but its a non essential feature for average users.
As far as I can tell direct recording of a call on the phone itself isn't supported by iOS either. All Apps that support it there require you to add a special service to the phone call as in a conference call so that the recording can be done there.

Yep, iOS doesn't support it at all (unless you jailbreak it, but the only tweak has a voice message in the beginning of the call to inform the caller that he's being recorded - due to legal problems). So from the "major" 3 OSes, only android supports call recording. And I doubt it's officially supported by the OEMs/Google, it's more likely because android is a way more open OS.
And that is the reason why in don't buy a WP Phone.
I register calls with my Androïd device not to spy people but to register important informations i can't write during the call since i am driving.
Be efficient not suspicious.
Because wou may kill anybody with a knife the kives are forbidden ? Stupid.
And so i don't appreciate Microsoft decides for us what is right and what is wrong. :laugh:

The law is the law you know...in my country you have to notify the all parties involved in the call that you are recording it, and you can easily get in jail if you record calls without express permission from all parties, every time you record.
and your analogy with the knife is kinda stupid: if you go outside your house with a knife you are likely to get in jail for a few days too.
Microsoft didn't decide anything: they obey the laws.
So so Google doesn't obey the laws? Why they didn't sue it if it's illegal? windows phone is not so popular due to these weird decisions from MIcrosoft.that's why I'm sticking with Android all the time.
It is written already that there is no Android Call recorder on any phone, but there r apps that can do this, because on Android u can do whatever u like. 4 me personally, this feature isn't something I cannot live without, and I am using my brains to remember stuff.

All,
Please do not argue on here. Responding to 7 month old posts and beginning arguments over it isn't constructive in the least bit. Yes, in some countries call recording is illegal. If there's an accompanying store app that allows for it in a specific region, then that's fine. If you can't get it on your phone, then I'm sorry you can't.
The answer is: It's legal on a country by country basis. There's no need to yell back at each other over the legitimacy of it. As even certain Android Roms have call recording functionality within them, it's fine. It's not breaking any copyright laws.
If posts continue to be non constructive, this thread will be closed .

Those apps are only for wp 7x not for wp8.
When the phone detecting a recordingapp during a
call the mic just shutsdown.
Data Compliance
In the UK, we absolutely MUST have call recording and the facility to archive an entire time / date stamped SMS text thread IF the phone is used for customer contact in the public sector. As things stand, WP8.1 is not compliant as a managed device and, if the aforementioned services are used for business purposes, it could render the organisation subject to prosecution. Admittedly, some organisations in the UK don't realise their exposure. In the UK, we can record voice calls all day long as one party is aware. If both parties are aware, the voice recording becomes submissable as court evidence. How does the US get around data compliance with WP 8.1 on voice calls and SMS when it's illegal to record phone calls in the US without consent?
I don't know if WP is used in the public sector yet. I think that's still mostly Blackberries (for official use, I mean), honestly.
Also, much of the US is one-party consent. The problem arises when one of the parties is in a place where it's two-party consent. Thus, in the US, virtually every official call begins with a recorded message (before a human picks up) stating that the call may be monitored or recorded.
Back to the technical stuff, the only way I know of to do call recording on WP8 right now is via a conference call to a recorder, or possibly by using something like a headset (wired or Bluetooth) that records the audio traffic in each direction. The OS itself doesn't allow it. This could presumably be fixed with sufficiently-high-privilege homebrew, but so far as I know nobody has even attempted to get started on that yet.

Order on intended WP8 device put on hold for the lack of call recording possibility.
The Truecaller app can listen to incoming calls and then detect the number, used special permission from Microsoft but its install on the phone storage
Hmmm... anybody with a (working) Samsung phone want to take apart (or just extract; I can do the RE) the Truecaller app?
