[Q] Call recording?

I was wondering if devs know if it is possible to implement call recording on our X8s. Is it hardware limited? I've been reading about this and it seems that almost no android phones can do this

Good question I'm exciting to the answer

Questions go to the Q&A section!

You can find many apps that can record your call conversation, just look at the market.

AllCallRecorder is one of them, and it worked like a charm when I use it . I don´t know if it still working on my current ROM, but as it is free, everybody should try it

Most of them, if any, don't work.

It doesn't work. It only records my voice and not the other party's.

Try 2-Way Call Recorder,
It's free and it record both sides during the call. It working fine on gingerDX

I've just tried it. It doesn't seem to be able to record without using the speakerphone

Hey Dexter,
thought you knew that [Q] threads are for Q&A forum
Thread moved

I kind of thought it would fit better in the dev forum as this is not something that can be done through apps.

I have already let stay in development forums 2 other [DISCUSSION] threads from you because i thought that they have inside somewhat of development but i cannot leave there any kind of thread only because they speak about dev, Q&A is the right place.
My orders as a moderator are to move every thread to Q&A that doesn' implement anything but development, such ROMS, Modules; scripts.

ok, gotcha.

I get a strange way to record phone conversations with the application vRecoder. I think that the loud sound of my voice dynamics falls into the microphone. Companion heard bad at writing, but audible. Better anything than nothing.

can you upload the application ??

Hi!
I've tried several programs and does not work, only my own voice recorded.
But! The original Sony Ericsson 2.1 ROM is fully able to pad sharp 2-Way recording, even with the headset as well.
The 2.2 ROM and the rest is not working
The solution I am also very interested because this function does not only want to stay at the 2.1 ROM.
Sorry for knowledge of English, but translation

If you just keep ignoring the message and reopening the program it will eventually work. I was able to place a video call to someone but they were unable to see my stream, it just showed up black. I was able to see them however.

OK so not just me, im sure Skype need to update their app for the phone then, as they add models all the time. thanks guys

It asked to reinstall, so I did and it was a newer version....made a call to my friend in China this morning, worked fine. No video from my phone, but could receive video. Hopefully new Skype software fixes it!

SO GOOD NEWS
I have found a copy of skype with video that works perfectly, with front and back camera, no sign in issues.
Its been re-developed by theos0o... It has some fixes you run in the Advanced settings option where if you get black screen calling you can fix it and make it work perfectly
I cannot give you the link as i think it counts as warez... but if you search Google for Skype theos0o android
You should find it
WORKS GREAT

Make sure you tick the two options in the advanced settings menu that mention fixing the black screen issue, works great after that

[Q] Which version of Google Talk really works on IncS?

Has anybody tried all the versions spread on the XDA Forum? I tried this ones:
Versions available: (Use the latest from below, or use DeToX-cz's installer app)
1. "Talk_with AV.zip". Same as stock with just the FC fixed so it works on other phones.
2. "Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip" or "talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip". Added a fix to let it work over your data connection.
3. "talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip". Added an additional fix to let it work over data.
4. xilard version. #3 with Camera and microphone tweaks.
5. [email protected]'s gTalk installer. Installs the new gTalk files. Needs root. Not sure what mods he has incorporated in it.
6. xilard version +theos0o portrait fix, by $omator
7. version "1.33" by theos0o [thread][multiupload link]. I copied the 3 files in the update.zip manually using android commander and it works fine. (Nexus one, 2.3.5 CM nightly)

and the one app in the market, which can install all of the custom gtalk apps.

In some of them, the other person cannot see me. In other versions, cam works fine, but I cannot hear the person and viceversa. In the modaccos version, the front cam is 90° turned around. Well you know all the problems. Thats why my question:
Does anybody knows a gtalk [video/wifi/cam switcher] custom app that really works on the Incredible S?
BTW: Im using Virtuous 2.37 Rom.
Thanks for answers.

Am using the default 'talk' app in virtuous unity 2.37.
seems to be no problem here!
i did have trouble in MIUI rom, but nothing with VU.
has this been persistent?
otherwise i would suspect faulty network

And video call works on yours? Can u see and hear the other person? Can the other person hear and see you? Is your front cam flipped to 90 degrees? Can you switch between front and rear cam?
Sorry for so many questions . I'm just pissed that my gtalk doesn't work properly.
Thxs.

I did a full wipe and installed the new VU 2.39.
Talk works fine, only that the front cam is flipped on 90°.
Is there a patch or something? maybe this framework-res or something like that? i dont know what else to try.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

lol. i understand your frustration.
but everything works fine. i can hear and see the other person and they can hear and see me too.
the image is quite right, not flipped
am sorry you having these issues!
since you have wiped and re-flashed, you could probably try uninstalling the 'talk' app & then download and re-install from the market.
maybe that would work

Just use market...
search call record..
and try it yourself..
U'll find which one better!

try an app called total recall

If you find an app that can record both sides please post here.
I've tried a few of them but only the one app from market, that said is made for xperia, worked. And only on stock ROM.

I am still looking for it but so far I did not find anything

i also tried many but none of them worked perfectly. all recorders failed to record. the listening speaker voice. just records my voice. in stock 2.1 i didnt had this problem.

search on apktop,i think i saw it there the other day

I believe it's a ROM issue.
or perhaps kernel.
It worked with stock ROM and stock kernel, but it didn't work with custom ROM and stock kernel.
but even with stock kernel and stock ROM only one app (among all apps I tested) managed to record both sides with no problem.
What I want to say is, if we want to have working call recording, some of our great devs should have interest to make it possible in kernel/ROM building.
But this is not something a lot people use and call recording is forbidden in some countries (as I understood), so there is not a big interest to get it fixed.
I personally would like to have that option but I don't think I would use it if I had it.

[Q] Vivid with ICS and the Voice Dialer.

I am going to upgrade to Vivid from my Inspire 4G. But I just read that with ICS Voice Dialer no longer works and that is one thing on my Inspire 4g that I use the most. What I like to do is get the Vivid (only $49 from Att and it already comes with ICS) and root it to install the last version of GB that the Voice Dialer worked. I have been reading the crippled Voice Dialer thread and it seems that everybody is looking for a workaround to the problem but willing to live with the flaw just to have ICS. I don't really know the major difference between the GB and ICS but to me, it really isn't worth changing if I am going to lose the Voice Dialer. Has anyone else tried what I want to do? I have been reading the Vivid forum I can tell there is lot of difference how things are done to root this phone than my Inspire 4G. I would appreciate any input regarding this matter.

I happened to stumble upon a pretty good interim solution. It's called Voice Control. The free version is called Voice Control Test.
I have tried them all and this is the only one that comes close to working correctly without screwing up other Bluetooth devices.

I decided to go back to GB for this very same reason. ICS is nice and all, and, as a whole there are many changes and optimization's. But if you use sense, 3.5 is not that different from 3.6. Not only voice dialer does not work over bluetooth, there are also many apps that don't work or do not work correctly on 4.03.
After I went S-off on my phone I just decided to install an older version of android. I was afraid that the new Hboot would screw things up but I still tried it and everything seems to be working. I did have a little of an issue with the kernel so I flashed it twice, before and after installing the gingerbread rom.

Third Party Voice Dialer Apps
There is a extensive thread on this issue in the General section. This link takes you to page 4 where I discuss Cyberon Voice Commander. I had also tested Vlingo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562886&highlight=voice+dialer&page=4
At least one person tried to use a custom ROM with the voice dialer added back in. While there are differing opinions on what works best, I found Voice Commander with ICS to have the same functionality as the built-in voice dialer in Android 2.3.4. Look at the whole thread to see what others have to say.
See also this thread for another recommended app.

Cyberon Voice Commander made my BT functionality flakey.
However, I found Voice Control which works must better. I think the free version is called Voice Control Test.
Set the accuracy low and fast which is the 2 setting. Even at this low accuracy, it is really good.

One point we should make is that Bluetooth sets in vehicles and BT headsets can vary in their capabilities and ability to work with the Vivid (and other phones). While CVC works well for me, WillGill had more success with another product.
It may take some experimenting as WillGill and I did (and Vivid 2X also), but I believe you can find a product that will restore voice dialer capabilities without having to root your phone and install a custom ROM. Of course, Google should never have removed it, but that's another issue.

Just wanted to share my solution:
