Hi all,
So I've been searching everywhere for information on recording calls with the XV6800. In my line of work I frequently have need to record conference calls for reference. In all cases all parties are aware (even though most states don't require that all parties be aware.) I currently have external hardware to do this, so it's not like I'm being restricted from doing it at all, I just really want to be able to use my phone to do it when I go on site. Taking my phone only is much better than taking my phone and a cord and a recorder. It's a small hassle, but it's all the more annoying because it doesn't have to be. Apparently, some idiot along the way decided they were going to impose what they thought people should be allowed to record rather than what the law allows and the result is, that from all my searching on the net, it seems that the XV6800 can't record because someone somewhere might violate a law from one of the few states that have laws against recording without all parties' knowledge. No software solutions seem to work at this point (although in my mind, if you go deep enough into the system, you should be able to use a software solution. I mean the sound data exists in there.) However it occurs to me that this may be something that can be fixed with a ROM flash. Does anyone at all have any information on this. One of my colleagues uses a Treo and he is literally able to record our calls right from his palm. It must be possible to the same with the XV6800 somehow. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hopefully someone with "BT stack" knowledge might be able to help with this. In theory the Bluetooth stack could be modified to reroute the earpiece audio channel so that it could be captured. I know at some point DCD and No2Chem did something with changing some of the BT audio properties, but I don't know if they actually got into the guts of the BT Stack itself or not.
To get more background knowledge on audio recording problems with some HTC devices, you can do a search for threads written by the moderator Menneisyys who wrote several well written, in-depth articles on this HTC limitation about a year ago.
Did you try Resco Audio Recorder? I'm not sure if it records both sides of a call as that may be a carrier limitation.
http://resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/indepth.asp#phonecall
I have. Actually, I've tried pretty much every piece of software available out there already as this is something I do often enough that I really would like this feature. I think nothing that existst now is up to the task and it is going to take someone with serious skills to do some creative programming to get it to work. Did they really program in a hardware block just because some states require two-party consent? I mean that's just the dumbest thing ever.
To jamesjay: Thanks, I will go check those out and see what they have to say.
I would love to have this also. I'm starting up an insurance company and it'd be awesome to have a cheap way to record every conversation. Even if I have to have some type of bluetooth thing to intercept the conversation.
splice into the audio cable and rerout to recording device
Well I have a physical device already and it works just fine. I can record calls if I bring along an extra wire and my recorder, but I don't want to have to do that. I should be able to have a software solution, and I'm actually pretty annoyed with the company for purposefully blocking that ability.

Crodney - I suspect they wanted to avoid ANY possible lawsuits.... Recording outgoing conversations without the callees consent is taboo in most states.... But I agree - there has to be a workaround.... Like a .dll that can intercept the audio and split it so you can record it AND listen and talk.....
here's a roundup of the legality of call recording...most of whats in this thread currently is misleading or false:
http://www.callcorder.com/phone-recording-law-america.htm#Evidentiary Issues
Search for a program called LivePVR. I'm at the bar and posting from my Titan, so I don't have the link. It should do the trick.
Laws regarding recording phone conversations can vary from locality to locality. I know that here, it is legal as long as ONE party knows that they are being recorded.
Only solution I found
When I first go to Telus I asked specificaly to have the possibility to record voice calls, as I oftenly get on conference calls while on the road with no possibility to take notes and I have to write meetings minutes concerning really technical matters.
So they recomend me the P4000, and after 3 weeks of searching, they told me it's too late to change phone now (more than 14 days), so I bougth my self a new Palm Tréo 755p and with CallRec it's like a walk in the park.
I had to pay it my self, as I had the authorization from my company to buy the P4000, but it wasn't delivering what it was supposed to.
So now I'm stuck with a brand new P4000, that nobody wants to buy!
Love Telus
There are a few people on the web reporting their HTC Hero is running a 2.73.728.5 ROM. I wonder if anyone here has seen this in the wild and could report whether this is a provider customized 2.73.405.5 or yet another new build?
And, with the release of Donut, I hope we have another update coming this side of Xmas!
Whatever that Hero update contains, it'd better sort out Bluetoothing. When I say Bluetooth I mean by way of file sharing with other phones not just with a headset.
Anyone get an answer from HTC about sorting this Bluetooth filesharing issue out? I've tried tweeting HTC, but get no reply.
P.S. the market apps don't work, even with root access. Sending AND receiving. Come on HTC sort this out, it would make the Hero a killer phone.
I honestly don't see how BT filesharing can be a big issue. Maybe a nice feature. I doubt it's on anyone's 'urgent list' at HTC or Google.
Airtel (India) comes with a factory default of 2.73.720.5.

Well, it really should be considering that any old phone can do it these days, yet top of the range smartphones like the Hero can't do it? Ridiculous.
Maybe not an important thing in the US, but it is widely used globally. Research by Microsoft and MTV shows 75% of European 16-24 yr olds) 'Bluetooth stuff' to their friends. It's huge in Asia also.
You can do it on most HTC WinMo phones. I am frankly embarrassed when a friends asks me to bluetooth them a song or photo and I have to admit I can't.
I can see why Apple don't want to do it on the iphone, as they dont like the idea of moving music from one phone to another, but Android has no such ideological reasons for doing it, just a massive oversight.
Check out: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1725
Plenty of people there who want it.
edit to add:
IN fact its the second most requested item: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Come on Google, pull your finger out!

I have that exact ROM build. I just received my HTC Hero and I love it. I could not tell you the difference in builds, but the HTC website states im not eligible for their latest ROM upgrade to 405. I bought mine online unlocked and using on the AT&T/Cingular Network in S.Carolina. Works just great with Wifi, on Edge, I dont have any Bluetooth devices, but soon to get some.

Fring was doing an excellent job, until Skype shut them down.

Galaxy S owners get the shaft ... yet again! Maybe we should just recognize the fact that AT&T/iPhone 4 is the best game in town and quit trying to play catch up.
There is a GPS fix that allows it to work excellent. Get over it.
dcchristopher said:
Well, at least we all now know a little more about the two of you. I don't blame you entirely for your disgraceful behavior. Surely your upbringing had a lot to do with it.
I don't see how what I said was inflammatory but perhaps it was misperceived. Allow me to explain: I paid $500 for this device. I honestly don't even need the phone aspect of it. I just need it to access the internet (email, web, etc), then as a media player, and then occasionally as a GPS device. The calling capabilities are literally icing on the cake. Let's just skip the whole GPS part since that needs no introduction. It simply doesn't work (unless you consider your location jumping around every 10 seconds "working" ... yeah, what fun it is to be hearing erroneous directions from your GPS device). T-mobile's voice and data services have been quite paltry in my experience. Calls drop quite often and that's something many Tmo subscribers complain about, especially near downtown and on a NexusOne. Moreover, data takes FOREVER to connect. I could be getting 4mbps/2mbps one second, then 750k/300k the next, then incessant data connection attempts with no data being transmitted ... until I reboot my phone. WTF??? A month ago I was driving from Dallas to San Antonio and got nothing but Edge the whole way down ... all along an interstate highway (albeit one of the worst I've ever seen) ... the phone was even occasionally switching to "G" and it took me forever to remember what that stood for ... GPRS!!! I haven't seen that since the 90s.
If you guys think it is acceptable to get ripped off like that, for hardware and services, by all means continue condoning and promoting Tmo and Sammy's failures and inaction by rewarding them for all that. These phones went on sale 7/15, around the same time Tmo announced their HSPA+ network. Three months later, you expect at least "an" action. No credits, no buy-backs, no remedies ... only failed promises. If you bought a car that couldn't perform as advertised and spec'd, I'm sure you would act differently.
But ... judging from your comments above, you guys are entirely worthy of your fate.
Best,
DCC
P.S. I dislike Apple fanboys just as much as the next guy but at some point we all need to man up to the facts ... the iPhone has the best user experience ... and Windows Phone 7 offers the best development experience (trust me, I have written/am writing apps for all three). The only thing positive about Android in my opinion is the tight integration of all the Google apps and services ... which oddly are not favored by many Android fans on this site ... in addition, they are increasingly being integrated in the other platforms as well (albeit not fast enough). Again, why Android? If it's because you want to be this decade's equivalent of the 90s' Linux geek who spends all day customizing the OS and the environment instead of actually using it and putting to good use, then have fun! Don't feel bad ... most people do not learn from history's lessons either!

Believe me I hear you, but you make your case weak. Individual experience differs from Joe to Jane.
The biggest advantage of Android over the other's is the hardware support for every major mobile manufacturer.
And Windows Mobile 7? We will see how the numbers look by the Xmas.
Yes, I am a linux geek, but I didn't purchase my phone because I am one.
As for the OP, Skype went downhill once they went to bed with the big red.
So why do you have a tmo vibrant? Why not get an i*hone? There are pros and cons to any device and any carrier...

I really wanted Android to succeed but it hasn't and I'm not necessarily blaming Android itself. I just don't see how I can choose it when the hardware and carrier are dropping the ball. All three (OS, hardware, carrier) are part and parcel. "Hardware support" is not enough when the hardware itself is not cutting it. First the Hero had build quality and connectivity issues, now the Vibrant has an elusive Froyo build and major GPS issues (in response to a previous post, I have yet to see a truly working "fix" and I have installed most if not all of them ... whoever claims it's now perfectly working is smoking something he/she should share with the rest of us).
Thank you for keeping an open mind and I do agree with you that individual experiences will vary but let's agree that this forum is proof that there are major unaddressed problems with this phone.

Thank you for applying intelligence and not resorting to childish name-calling ... simply put, I left AT&T after a decade of being their customer because my non-iPhone superphones (usually purchased from abroad but compatible with US 3G) were being intentionally disregarded by their network in favor of the iPhone devices out there ... $110 a month for a discriminating data service is not acceptable. iPhones are also a little "too user-friendly" for me. I preferred a more open platform. At this point though, I will settle for a device that "just works". That is what every iPhone user will tell you out there ... the s*** just works. A phone is something that should enable you to do things with it, whether it's productivity, app development, multimedia, services, etc. A phone is not a perpetual hack factory, at least not as a primary device. If people want a side project to play with, great. What I have seen on this forum though is that most people need a phone that works for them, not the other way around.
I am waiting for the first generation WP7 phones to roll out and see what drama will ensue, if any. As you very astutely stated, "there are pros and cons to any device and any carrier". I really enjoy the WP7 mobile app development environment and so long as the phones are not involved in yet another fiasco, I will most likely get one. If not, the iPhone it is.
I'm not trolling and I do not mean to offend hard-core Linux super-users/developers but this business of shoddy phones, shoddy service and endless "hacking" is not right when we're all paying 50-100 a month for service and 200-500 for devices. I am surprised that people are not up in arms about it. There really needs to be a class-action lawsuit over this. I know, a handful of lawyers will just make a shipload of money. Still, companies cannot get away with this sort of negligence. This isn't the first time and it sure as heck won't be the last.
Vote with your dollars and best luck to you,

If browse over the iphone forums you will see the plethora of posts complaining about this and that on the iphone too.
There is no magic cookie cater for anything, you will always find something to be not up to your standards.
What confuses me the most is people complaining about the features that are not being the prime in the market cliché they are shopping - for instance, neither Android nor iOS are good examples of the enterprise use, but people still insist that my phone does not integrate well with my corporate Exchange environment the way I *want* hence the product sucks.
Everything has its pluses and minuses, it's up to an individual to weigh in the pros and cons to make a conscious buying decision.

I really want to say "I hear ya" but here's the deal ...
a) I glanced over the iPhone fora and I am not seeing anything glaring ... mostly basic user ignorance (configuration / customization issues)
b) all the iPhone users I have asked what their biggest complaint is about their phone give me the same "huh?" look ... their phone just works
c) all the major issues with iPhone 4 were addressed with some sort of fix or another, even if all it took was a rubber band ... I have friends who exchanged their phone well after the 30 days because of the proximity sensor issue (just as an example) ... clearly, Apple took ownership of resolving the deal-breaking issues
When I walked into a T-mobile store after the first 30 days and said "I will not put up with this GPS BS" they kindly restated their return policy, gave me Samsung's support number and sent me on my not-so-merry way. When I contacted Samsung, I was told to simply wait for the update as there was no fix for it so a replacement wouldn't accomplish anything. The customer service rep literally laughed when I mentioned a return of the product for refund.
You're absolutely right ... there will always be issues but this isn't a matter of preference or individual taste ... these companies are failing to deliver what they promised and what we have paid for and rightfully deserve. I am in no way saying that the iPhone is perfect; I'm sure I would have something to complain about from time to time ... but when I borrow friends' phones to "play" with, the iPhone is fast and responsive and hasn't failed me once. Load SpeedTest side-by-side. The "Begin Test" button lights up literally instantly. I know the Galaxy S phones have the same hardware. Why is it they can't be as responsive?
As I previously mentioned, I was with AT&T (or one of the companies it acquired or merged with) for over a decade until the Hero came out and I switched to Sprint. Then I went to T-mobile for the Vibrant. I will just make my rounds until I find something that works. My problem is that I get way too overexcited about the technology and jump ship before it has had a chance to prove itself. Right now the iPhone 4 has proved itself fairly well. As I said though, as a mobile apps developer, I really want WP7 to work out so I will _try_ to wait and see. The development experience is "magnifique!"

It's really disheartening to see android sinking like this because if googles ignorant attitude. I agree with you, if google woukd be a bit more proactive like Apple or Microsoft (now that they revamped) and set a standard for the OS requirement, quality control. We can all breath better. I have a bad feeling that once wm7 hit, Android will be the new WM6.5, a cheap buggy and unorganized akternative for manuftre and carriers.

Thank you for chiming in. Hopefully Android will survive, even if only because competition is a good thing. I think most of the issues faced today (so-called fragmentation, etc) will be resolved in the re-architecture being introduced in Android 3.0. I'm more concerned about the carriers and hardware manufacturers closing up shop after a phone has been released and only looking forward to the next model. What good is it if Android survives and succeeds if I am the one left holding the dud? "Oh, just pay another two to five hundred dollars." The worst part is that the user/owner community turns a blind eye to the egregious failures in the name of fandom. That is NOT the way to organize and effect change.

I guess I went to the apple forums before the proximity sensor issues were resolved, and it was Vibrant GPS Redux over there.
I am glad that Apple took care of the problem after a few updates to their iOS, but as with the GPS issues on our phones the proximity sensor should've been caught during the QA, I am not gonna say anything about Antennagate.
Hopefully GPS will be patched for good on the Vibrant too, and no I do not need the proof that it is addressed with the latest update - faster locks does not mean accuracy.

Don't let Skype off the hook though ... I used to be a big fan of theirs but they've been very slow with delivering platform-specific clients and they seem to be playing favorites and such. Closing the door on fring, a very, very open solution out there, was a deplorable thing to do.
It doesn't matter folks ... when Google comes out with their VOIP service, and you KNOW they will (Gizmo5 acquisition, etc), all these other (dis-)services will be obliterated. I predict Google will establish its own data-only cell carrier (cause data is all you need anyway) ... hopefully within the next 2-3 years.
I know this thread kinda derailed off topic, but imma put my two cents in.
I do kinda agree with DCC, at my workplace pretty much everyone has some sort of smart phone. When the subject of phones comes up, I am the first one to bang my chest and yell ANDROID~!
But the sad truth is, iphone users like the iphone because IT DOES WHAT THEY NEED IT TO DO. they really dont care about all the stuff we have come to love about android.
So they are happy and content, while we are up till the wee hrs of the morning trying to make our phones have a milli-second faster lol.
And to me its not really trying to make our phones better than the iphone, its me just making my phone better than it was.
I am disappointed in samsung about the lag issue and the gps issue.
I dont complain about it though, cause we are all here at this website to make our phones better than it is from stock. and I am 100 percent sure , once its said and done, this phone will more than satisfy me.
As far as I've read, Fring violated Skype's API and when they were challenged Fring, instead of changing their code, resolved to drop Skype support altogether. It's basically Fring's fault for not playing according to the rules. Fring issued a statement saying that Skype blocked them. It's an unlikely story since Skype has a fairly open API and would be leaving itself open to lawsuit if they did so.

Umm, definitely NOT from either side's highly partial blog, that's for sure ... which, by the way, you are misquoting. Fring did not drop Skype support all together. They temporarily disabled video calls because Skype and the carriers were *****ing about it (due to the excessive load on their networks). Then they were suddenly blocked from routing connections through Skype. This is an obvious behind-closed-doors ganging up of Skype+carrier(s) against Fring who stands alone and is one of the most open companies out there.
I get it, no one here really knows what happened when and why but ... Skype is no victim. On the other hand, the Objectivist in me says Skype should have every right to deny Fring (or any individual, company or group in the world) access to their systems. I just wish they would come out and say it instead of being all sly about it.

Hi,
I was wondering if wifi calling is done with software or hardware? If it's done with software would there be a way or perhaps a rom that would enable wifi calling to work on the HTC HD2? I don't know much about the inner workings of things so don't bash me too bad, I looked into it and there wasn't many answers if it can be done or not and or if it's trying to be done now. I just didn't know so I was hoping one of you experts, or chefs, could tell me if it's possible or what the story is. when I had my blackberry it had wifi calling and it was great just for the main fact that I live at the bottom of a hill and I get awful reception nomatter what phone or carrier, but with wifi calling, WOW I really liked that but when I weighed my options I really wanted an HD2 rather than a blackberry, (I guess it's the geek in me). Well thanks for reading for those who read.

I think OP was looking more at a UMA feature than at Skype or Fring. Some Blackberries support calling over a wifi network - so the same T-Mobile number is used for inbound/outbound calls, even without a cell signal.
I don't think the HD2 supports UMA; but LetsTalk has it listed as a supported feature for the HD2. I'm looking into this myself to help with poor signal quality in the lower level of my home.
Yes I was and I just got confirmation the other day on Twitter from T-mobile USA that the new Mytouch 4G will have wifi calling and will be coming to other devices in the coming months. In app form I believe but still very cool. My mouth is really watering over this Mytouch 4G but I really can't afford it right now. Gosh I only had this HD2 about 6 or 7 months. I gotta wait until I'm AT-LEAST eligible for a one year handset upgrade, and if these android HD2 Roms Keep coming out working so nicely and perhaps I can use wifi calling on my HD2 I'll wait for my 2 year upgrade.. I'm sure by then They'll have a f**k ton of new good phones and the prices should drop on some of the others...

Just have to see if any of the developers can make it work for HD2, at least on the android side.
Don't understand why this won't work
Ok I don't understand why this won't work on the HD2 windows mobile pro 6.5, HTC had it working on the shadow which runs WM 6.1, can someone please explain it to me? Is it just no one interested in developing it cause hardware wise if it can do it in android I am unclear why it can't do it in windows
technically hardware supports it but software side has not been implemented fully for HD2
A few sip efforts been made that implement with stock dialler & some more stand alone but think most have some issues when in use ...
One example being >
