Two way call recording disabled? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had been using ACR call recorder since about November and it had been working great but recently I went to listen to some recordings and they were not there. I left a negative review and was informed that with androind 5.0 motorola had disabled the 2 way call recording feature they used.
Is there a way around this? Can I reenable this feature somehow? I am happy to root and boot a custom rom I just want to know for sure that will solve the problem before I do it.

Can anyone offer any advice at all on this? even to say it isnt possible or it is?

This thread Lists the Moto X (with root) as working but doesn't speciffy 1st/2nd Gen. (though there is mention of the Moto G 2nd Gen).

I use Total Recall Call Recorder by Killer Mobile on mine, just need to be rooted. There was a motorola hack within the app if I remember correctly. But it works fine for me and I'm on 5.0.

[q] call recorder

hi.
i was looking for a automatic call recorder application for the last couple of days but nothing was working on the milestone.
i need something that does not turn the speakerphone when doing the recording.
everything i found was either not working or crashed.
can you recomend anything?
thanks.
Apparently direct recording is not possible. Only the "from speaker into microphone" kind is available.
Unfortunately this is not possible on our milestones. I dont know exactly why, but probably something in the moto Kernel that prevent us from doing that.

Touchless Controls

I am on the AT&T Variant of the Moto X and was wondering if anyone was having issue with Touchless Controls not working. It has been working fine since day one and I noticed today that it wouldn't work. I rooted using the Moto Root and then PwnMyMoto. When I boot, the option to use them is turned off and when I enable it I get no response from saying the keyword. If I try to retrain it, It will not respond to the "Okay Google Now" Attempts. I've verified that the mic is working fine and I've tried several different noise levels.
If anyone has a solution or suggestion, let me know to possible help people who have this issue

I'm having the exact same issues on my Verizon Moto X. I'm hoping you found a fix for yours or that someone can chime in
Tried a factory reset?

[Q] Hands free answering calls?

I know Moto X has been advertised as being able to do so many things hands free, but I can't seem to figure out if its possible to answer calls hands free, and then automatically turn on speaker phone.
There may be apps that can do this, but I assumed it would be possible by default on the X. It'd be nice to be able to use the home dock and answer calls without having to touch the phone at all.

Yes as far I have heard about MOTO X functionality it has the feature to answer the call with voice , without any touch experience...but that voice apllication does not work out actively or properly in a crowded area...but this is quite interesting one and will surely sell MOTO X at carrier
Still a cool feature

Do you happen to know what the command for it would be lol, I can't seem to say anything that will actually answer the phone.
I had never heard I could answer my phone without touching it.
You can answer calls and have it speak back text messages with voice when in driving mode, I'm still trying to figure out how to enable driving mode while not driving.

Screen off - Ok Google OR Moto Voice ?

Hi all
I am running lollipop and was wondering if I should use the moto custom voice to wake device with screen off, or use the one built into lollipop in Google now.
Is one better than the other ?
Besides being able to use a custom phrase on moto voice ?
I remember reading somewhere that the Google works better cuz its direct.
Any feedback would be much appreciated
Thanks and have a great weekend

Try them both, pick which one you like better.
Google Now can't wake your device unless it is charging.
Only Moto voice will work with the screen off of its not charging.

That's not correct. Lollipop has it built into the OS. Check under google now / settings and voice (voice detection). It's there. Screen off as well. And I think it works better than the moto x one after testing.
I'm well aware of it supposedly being built into lollipop. But it doesn't work with the screen off on the moto X unless its being charged. I've disabled moto voice, enabled google now voice detection from any screen and turned the screen off. Said "OK Google" nothing happens. There have been a few of us here that have tried it and it doesn't work. It does work, though, when it's being charged. If you're able to get it to work please let us know how you did it because I would rather use Google now.
My Google settings on CM 12. Does not work unless plugged in for me.
Haha my bad. I also have a nexus 6 so when I went to my moto X I assumed that it was the same. And I guess I tested it with the screen on. And alas, upon trying it, you are right. It doesn't work when the screen is off. Oops
This thread is close to the question I was researching but my question is more generic. I just got my new MotoX a couple days ago and I'm confused, what is the difference between Google Now or the Moto Voice apps? My old phone was a MotoX 2013 so I'm used to using Google Now for everything, now my new X seems to have two apps that do the same thing? What's the deal?

Moto Voice can wake up your phone, which Google Now cannot. Moto Voice can read your your new notifications (either on command, or during a set period of time), Google Now cannot. Most other voice commands are heard by Moto Voice, and then passed over to Google Now. The two don't really overlap in their abilities. They work together to give you the best of both worlds.

[Q] Call Recorders are not working even after Lollipop

Hi Friends,
Need a help from you. Any guide or tutorial for enabling Moto G 2nd Gen (Lollipop) to record both way audio. I have tried almost every recording app on playstore but none of the call recorders are working.
Any help over this issue would be appreciated. Phone is not rooted and running Stock ROM

They can't work because that function has to be build into the kernel. Since call recording is forbidden in some countries (especially in Germany, we take our privacy rights very serious) and the XT1068 is sold world-wide, Motorola probably decided not to implement it.
Call Recorder works on my XT1068 running stock KitKat, without having to do anything special.

Well, we are talking Lollipop here, aren't we.

Well, the title says "even after Lollipop", implying he'd tried it on KitKat first and it hadn't worked for him on that either. So I told him it does work on KitKat, so if he decides it's a crucial feature he can go back to that and use it.
