Recording time when using XDA as Voice Recorder - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

A quick semi-technical question for which a search did not turn up an answer. I need to conduct a series of interviews, and audio record them. I know I can simply use the note function of my XDA. My concern is that I will fill up my memory really quickly (only 32mb total for the device), and will have limited battery life.
Anybody use this function intensively? How many minutes of recording time will I have? I am trying to figure out if I should simply buy a digital voice recorder.
Many, many thanks for any and all advice you might have.

Hi,
Isnt it possible to store your recordings in a SD card?

I am concerned that the "Note" function for voice recording stores all recordings as part of the larger .pst file, preventing me from splitting individual notes (and thus individual voice recordings) off onto a SD card.
Hmm....

Have you tried NoteM? It'll audio record straight to MP3.

Call Recording

Hello, did anyone figure it out to get Call Recording working on the Rose?
Just asking this because people got it working on the Kaiser and the hardware seems similar....?
I'm also very interested.
I need to record a voicemail I recieved and the only recording options I've found simply record the microphone.
And the 2 standard recording apps don't work at all during a phonecall (not even recording from the microphone).
Have never tried it, but there's a thread for other devices here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496303 (just read the top part and grab the CAB file)
A possible free solution, sounds nice...
However I already got from a Dutch forum (pocketinfo.nl) 2 tips:
- Resco Audiorecorder
- Vito Audio Notes
I tested them and both seem to work well.
Soundquality good (at least as good as is possible with sound from a phone).
Vito Audio Notes is the winner for me (only tested phonecall recordings) because of 2 reasons:
- In the filename the name of the contact is included besides date and time of the recording (Resco should do this also, according to their website, but I got only date and time during my limited testing)
- Cost $ 7 (Resco costs $ 24,95)
I purchased Vito Audio Notes last night, so trying a free solution is a now unnecessary for me.

Free or not. I was just wondering about a solution which had both sides call recording. But you are saying that Vito Audio Notes on the Rose/S740 is working for both sides ?

I got it working!
1) I installed the "2 Way Recording.CAB" from the above thread
2) Rebooted the phone
3) Installed VITO Audio Notes
Nice to hear it works.
Actually, 2 way recording also works with Vito Audio Notes without first installing the "2 Way Recording.CAB".
I suspect you now simply have 2 call recording applications on your phone.

Yep. Actually, VitoAudioNotes doesn't work w/o 2WRec for me (just speaker recording). And honestly, having the comfort and usability of VANotes is worth it.
Well, curious about the positive reviews (here and in original thread) I also installed 2 way recording (does a few changes in the registry) to try its effect. It also has improved the quality of my recordings with Vito Audio Notes.
If case you have installed the "2 Way Recording.CAB" and the sound quality is poor, change:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTCAUDIOGAIN]
"AUDIO_DEBUG_FLAG"=dword:00000040
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTCAUDIOGAIN]
"AUDIO_DEBUG_FLAG"=dword:00000000
DO NOT USE Resco Audiorecorder
I had many hard days to find out what causes my battery to discharge very quickly. Later I found out that my loudspeaker stayed on after each received call had finished, i.e. I could hear a slight noise from the loudspeaker, even though I always used the earspeaker. First I thought that it was a ROM bug or something, I even contacted HTC support to help me resolve this issue.
Just it was an accident when I got the idea to uninstall the Audiorecorder to find out if it helped. And it really did!
So if you have installed this crap and have noticed the same symptoms you know from now on what to do.
Does Vito Audio Notes also work when making Calls via Skype Mobile?
MH
Hi i have installed the 2 way recording file and recording with Vito Audio Notes 1.37 the other side voice is quiet faint and i tried the reg settings you mentioned, but i dont have HTCAUDIOGAIN at all, how do i get the other side voice more clearer.
Thanks
Do NOT install Resco Audiorecorder. I already had it. It causes fast battery discharge. After each call the speaker remained on.

[Q] voice recorder?

Dears,
In my phone, I have an application for audio recording called Voice Notes. My problem with this app is that there is no way to store the recordings on my memory card rather than the internal memory, which is quickly filled up. I have a vague memory of another application included in the phone which might have dissapeared when I did a hard reset (it happened to other original programs). If so, where can I retrieve it? If there was no other voice recorder than Voice Notes, what third party audio recorder could you recommend?
Thank you!
I use Vito Audio Notes ver. 1.37.
For call recording see you here.

This one i know what i'm talking about....
call recording depends on local and state laws. Some states/countries it is against the law to record phone conversions. While it other only one of the two party members must be made aware of the recording and very very few allow one to record a phone call with out either member knowing.
I would first HIGHLY suggest looking into your local laws regarding this prior to doing it. You could get in some trouble over it.
I know Google Voice will allow you to record incoming calls, but not out going calls. Other than that i do not know of program that will allow you to do this.
this is mainly for when i call customer service lines so there is no problem as they record it as well. plus i'm in a state where only one party (myself) needs to be informed.
edit: tried vrecorder but it records from microphone. no biggie but who likes to use speakerphone?
i read somewhere that android itself limits the recording. can anyone clear this up for me?
I've tried a few of them- all of them were OK if using speaker. without speaker only your voice can be heard and the other side only very faint, if heard at all.
now I an using "record my call" (with the ugly big red button) and it is relatively working fine most of the time. I like it because it enables you to classify as important, delete record etc after the call...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Android doesn't have any mechanism for recording incoming audio in the OS. For some reason it's missing, even though Android is not bound to US borders, and call recording is perfectly legal in other parts of the world. This is the reason why there are few programs to record calls on Android, and none of them work w/o using speaker.
The only existing way to record would be to put the phone on speaker and use any voice recorder you want.
I use "allcallrecorder" just search for it in the market. Works great for me.

Possible to capture video and record voice via external microphone

Pretty much as the title explains, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way I can record using the camera on the phone, But record my voice through the hands free earphones.
Why?
Because I like to record with my phone mounted on my motorbike, I'd would be better if I could record from the mic as
A) I can talk
B) The mic Can be shielded by my helmet to remove all the wind noises.
I've searched through the forums, So sorry if It's been asked/Answered, I had no luck finding anything with google or here. The best option I got was use "Lg Camera", But I had no luck with external microphone options there unfortunately
Thanks in advance for your help

[Q] Route audio from media out to mic. in internally

Hi,
First time posting here, but not new to rooting and flashing. All thanks to xda and it's user.
So, I want route the audio coming out from phone's speaker/headphone or w/e output device to microphone internally.
For example,
If my friend is listening to a song and he calls me and asks which song is this, I want to able to route the audio to Shazam or Soundhound without the use of another device (although that's not the reason for the problem)
Anothe example is, Whatsapp. Lets say I am listening to a song (locally on device or on a radio app in my cell), I want to able to use that quick audio message button in Whatsapp to record that song, internally, so if there bunch of people in the car, their sound doesn't get recorded.
And I can think of tonnes of situations where this could be used like when you are talking to someone on phone, use song/sounds/audio phrases direct from phone. Like a using some famous/quote but instead of you quoting them, using the actual person's sound from your local storage/youtube or any other audio app storage. Using sound effects, all internally. You can get so creative.
And this is something that is done by music producers all the time, routing audio and play it with recorded audio, but all done with hardware. It could be easily done using software or hardware on a computer.
I thought of using the 3.5 audio jack with mic to route the audio using wire by connecting them but I would require that special hardware (modded 3.5 jack wire) all the time and won't really help other people much. A software solution would be a lot more helpful.
I did try using this app, called SoundAbout to fix my problem but it didn't help much, or maybe I was doing something wrong.
ps. This is the 2nd time I am writing this lol. First time xda logged me out and I lost the whole thing. Would be nice if there was a app (for windows) that would copy any text written in any dialog box automatically (just like autofill feature but for larger text fields) and keep updating it on the fly. For example, text in the Title box gets copied in the app after each character punched with 5 histories. Same goes for Message box. In case of Firefox crash or accidental refresh or like in my case getting logged out, there is text stored in another app that can be retrieved. I am sure there are solutions used by devs. as they do tonnes of coding. Please share you thoughts.
Also please feel free to give any advice regarding right category, title, tags etc. so that this thread is organized and easily searchable.
I am searching for solution too. Some professionals are needed to check on these:
1. https://github.com/jurihock/voicesmith solving to step between the mic & audio feed processing
2. `system/ect/mixer_paths.xml` file can be hacked (maybe alter in some devices)?
3. This is just for more understanding: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/sharing-audio-input
Did you figure it out? Are there not any Chinese or Russian apps that will bypass this restriction?
