[Q] voice call recorder - is there an app for that???

I'm looking for an application which will allow me to record voice calls (input and output).
I'm using samsung galaxy S with 2.2 Froyo.
Tried to look for one in here, but didn't find one that would fit my phone.
I even googled it, and didn't find anything appropriate.
If someone has some app that is confirmed as working - plz post the name/apk.
PLZ HLP!
Thanx!

Search 'record call' on appbrain. Quite some results.

Nothing working yet to my knowledge (for our phone that is)...

I dont know if we have hardware for it. But theres claims from ppl who say theres software on the korean sgs. But u got to rem that phone is totally dif as no ones have been able to flash any roms on it yet. Closest thing i can think of is use speaker mode and any recording app

From the link you gave here, I understand this is a well known issue.
So are you saying there is still no solution for that???
(I had this option on my oldest nokia 6680 I think not to mention 6120).
Wow... that kinda' sucks.

I looked into this some time ago. Some android phones will allow you to record both sides of the call. It would seem that with most android phones, you can only record your side of the conversation. It may be a bug in Android since there is apparently the functionality that allows recording calls. On the other hand, it could also be a hardware issue where the incoming voice stream is not accessible to the OS, so there is no way to record it unless you use an external recording device. The Hero for example use the Qualcomm MSM 7200A which has the baseband chip integrated into the main application processor. The Galaxy S has a separate baseband chip. Depending on how the incoming voice stream is handled on the hardware level, it is possible that android OS has no direct access to the voice stream since that is handled by the baseband cpu.
Anyways, after spending a few hours reading up on this topic, voice recording is possible on some android handsets, and not others. I was using the nexus one when I was looking into this (interestingly, the nexus one snapdragon has an integrated baseband like the Hero). Most solutions meant using the phone in speakerphone to record both sides of the conversation which is not a great solution in my opinion.
That's the extent of my research. It's something that would be useful to me, but not something that I have a strong need for. If anyone has a working solution for the Galaxy S, please share!

Killswitch - looking for honeycomb beta testers

Hey guys! We are about to release an application for tablets and phones that will allow you to put the device into standby just by closing the case.
A closed beta is available to select XDA members, and we would like to test more on people's XOOMs.
You can find the app thread HERE.

i'll beta test it.

What kind of Case must you use for the Xoom, the portfolio one Moto puts out?

Count me in for this one.

I'm in as well. Sounds fantastic

sure I'll test it

Count me in. I have a xoom and a galaxy tab.

count me too.

I noticed a little bug. As I move back and forth at my desk. The program tries to close my screen. Is there a way to uninstall this?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Guys, developer already wrote that they took 10 (!) testers and others just missed the train, so we shall wait for an open beta test if there will be any (doubt it will)

I got in on the test. I have noticed one problem. If someone stands over you or there is a shadow killswitch will start to engage. It maybe a setting just need to play w/ it more.

Hey everyone, and thanks to all the beta testers! Just an FIY, the app is now out, you can find its thread in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
It has now been tested thorougly on my own Xoom and is working fine! To avoid accidental activations, read the Help and Tips section carefully and set a higher activation delay time.
I have it at 8 seconds and rarely have any issues...

Great, works fine on all my devices

Eer, this expired a month ago!

Hi ... I just purchased this and figured I would be able to spoof a cover by simply covering the sensor (at the opposite location to the camera) with my finger briefly but this doesn't seem to do the trick, but if I cover the front with a pad then it does go off. Is there another sensor I am not seeing?
I also expected it to auto wake when uncovered? If I enable unlock on screen then the volume keys at least seem to wake it up which is a bonus I guess
Sent from my MZ604 using XDA Premium App

The light sensor is quite hard to spot. Its 2.5 cm to the left of the front facing camera.
The autounlock feature is supposed to work like that. Please, read the help file!

Great ... that makes it easier to test ... but I can't get it to wake. It seems the volume key is not even waking it now either.

This functionality is broken by tegra drivers on honeycomb - but works on all other devices...

OK... so are you working to get around this? Or will 3.1 fix it? Or is the function just broken forever? Without it the app is nowhere near as useful :-(

Weve been busy prepping for the release of RCB and i havent had time to tinker with killswitch for a few weeks!
I have thought about it though, and there is a workaround. Trouble is, it would mean the tablet wouldnt really sleep.
However... there is a hack i have been using myself, but it would mean root and some nasty errors on many devices.
Atm you can already do something similar yourself using a key remapper. Search the forums for a compatible one.
I promise though i will add some root functions to killswitch.

[Q] HTC One Remote Controller function

So, we've heard and seen about the IR and remote controller function, but I didn't exactly understand it. Is it going to work with only smart TVs? I mean can we just use it as a normal, universal remote controller?

I know this is a small feature but I've always been fan of little details like that. When I was a boy, I had a casio watch just doing the same, shame it is not working anymore.
thanks again

I don't think it is a small feature. That means that with the Right soft (understand app) you can virtually have the equivalent to a harmony universal remote control to master all your IR devices such as TV bluray home theater. I have an harmony and its awesome. Getting old though.

I would like to know how to access the IR port for app development .. got some ideas for some cool applications for that IR Blaster

AW: [Q] HTC One Remote Controller function
Already tested it and it works fine.
For most devices there are preconfigired setups. If your device is not listed, you can "teach" the phone by holding original remote to the power button and by pressing any button on remote.
Sadly the set of buttons is limited (only most common buttons available)

HTC released an SDK for that IR port even before the phone was out. Google it and bring us some nice apps!

I have read several reviews saying the IR blaster software supports Sky and Virgin satellite and cable boxes in the UK, my device is due to be delivered tomorrow, but would be interested to hear if any UK owners have tested this yet??

I am planning to develop IR apps for RC Car and alarm remote for a real car Of course I need a device first for testing.
If only they could have put the IR port just beside the camera I could have made something alot more better hahaha!

Hint: There is an App that looks like a TV

Bigger hint: The App is called "TV" in the App drawer!:laugh:
Have to say i'm quite impressed with it, i thought it was just a bit gimmicky but after trying it out it's quite good.
My 8 year old son was very impressed with it...."woah mum, dad's phone can turn the TV over!"......the wife wasn't impressed at all :laugh:
Can't wait to get back to work in a few weeks and start p***ing the lads in the canteen off by turning the TV over!

Great thing is, that SGS4 also have IR sensor.
So we can expect some nice apps in near future and another devices with such functionality.
Back to the roots, earlier each phone had IR (ok not same like now)

Oh my. This feature is epic.
For Virgin Media users dont select your cable box as Tivo, it doesn't work select Virgin Media in the option.
Its Epic. EPIC EPIC.

I can't get it to work with my Sharp tv. The auto setup fails and when I try to get it to learn from my existing remote it will learn some buttons but not others. So I can mute the tv, but not unmute it. None of the numbers work, but the volume controls do.
Has anyone got any ideas? Would be awesome to get it all up and running.

You can try to teach your phone from a universal remote that works on our TV.

Well the -Vol button on my Denon DAB Hi-Fi remote in my office has just died so this new phone can't come at a better time.

Same for me, The work TV remote is literally in three pieces on the table after someone destroyed it this week.

[Request] Any IR applications

Hay guys
I was wondering if there are any good applications which would make use of the IR blaster on my HTC ONE
for example TV remote control apps
because i searched the net and couldn't find any good app that works with HTC ONE'S IR Blaster

Actually there is a tv remote controll app pre-installed on the htc one.

Yeah, but CRAPPY LOW-LIFE PLASTIC Galaxy S4 has Infrared. We will see all those apps soon. Till then use HTC Infrared app.
Also, anyone knows if we could have IR file transfer again using some mod xD?
Edit: Added some attributes to GalaxyS4.

Anyone successfully program their HTC One to control their Apple TV? Didn't work properly for me. But I did get it to control my Sony TV.

What about the WD TV? I know there is an app but I want to control my TV and WDTV all on the same page. Weird how the market has literally nothing for a device with an IR blaster built in.

I gave up. On the remote and the WD remote.
One day, there will be some unified remote I hope.

IR apps are thin on the ground because Bluetooth pretty much destroyed the need for the blasters (still chuckle thinking back to eldest daughter sitting 2 phones an inch apart then holding her breath though the numerous attempts to share an MP3.)
HTC have brought the blaster back in a way it was really meant to be used, developers will start coding for it (especially as Sammy had to copy them to stay in the game. )

Hmm. I have a WD TV as well. Will try programming it next.

It's probably proprietary but if someone could make an app that pulls in your Logitech Harmony remote info that would be awesome. I know there is one on the Play Store from Harmony, but it requires a separate device (which we don't need since the IR blaster is built in).

In theory you should be able to point any remote at the IR blaster and get the HTC to learn from it. Not saying it actually works (all my kit was defined in the stock database) but it could be worth a try.

Programming for non-listed remotes works fine - I have done it for two unlisted devices without any problem

htc learns but when i try to add remote it obliges me add tv too.

We need an app that can execute macros and one touch commands similar to the Logitech harmony remotes.

Yeah, tried that with an Apple TV remote. Worked for a few buttons, but not for most.

The IR blaster works really well, used it to change a tv in a cafe at lunch today with great success :victory:
Stock app looks really well done (and lists popular shows that are on), but I haven't explored it too much.

Gear with headset audio?

Now I know this has been asked and talked about before, but I am wondering if anyone is actively working on a solution. It is really the one feature I would still like to have.
I want to be able to use my gear standalone from my watch when I workout for music. I know there is not a lot of room on the gear, but there is enough for a hour worth of workout music.
I hope someone is working on a solution for us. I have tried to tinker with it and even bricked by gear at one point and had to restore it trying different things. But I am no deb so I was just showing in the dark trying.
Anyone else want this option?
