[Q] Call recording?

Hi,
Has anyone tested whether call recording works? In case you didn't know, there IS an API for recording calls, however it silently fails on most phones. Apparently on some it does work:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117
According to that bug report the Galaxy S can do call recording, so maybe the S2 can too...?
we had one working on the s1, really hope we can see one here soon

I have installed total recall on my galaxy s2 and it works but I can perfectly record with loud voice the opponent but i don't hear my voice.. very strange, it is the opposite of Galaxy s..
I have tryed also Call recorder widget but it doesn't record anything.
Some other experince?
Just wanting to keep this alive. Total Recall records the remote voice great but not the local (phone mic) voice.
I did see on another thread with the S1 replacing some system files, from a Taiwan ROM? Is this not possible with the S2?
Thanks for anyone attempting to fix this. Otherwise, I'm happily surprised by this phone everytime I look at it
There is another thread on this already.
'callrecorder' from the market (green android icon) records both sides properly.
It doesn't use the speaker phone to record so it s great quality

Callrecorder By Dsoft works great, yes the one with the green android
Thanks guys, will test tomorrow!
Another +1 for Callrecorder By Dsoft. Installed it and works great.
Great news! You just pushed me to buy this phone
Yessss callrecorder works good so it means with galaxy2 you call record perfectly both direction, but it is too simple as software missing of many settings... Is there some more complete call recorder for our galaxy s2?

Hi.
Just today I founded this app: VoiceRecorder and works perfectly for my SGSII.
Different from Calrecorder is that this app don't show any icon when ready for recording
and also is for free
DarkyRom2 XXKI3 Base ( 2.3.5 ) comes with an in-built call recorder which works very smooth , you can hear both sides very clear and it has a button in the call screen so it's very easy to use ..
it works!
one more app that works!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ohc.phonetapper
so which is the best? any of them work on bluetooth?
also WHERE is the callrecorder by dsoft I can not find it in the market. anyone have a link or an apk if no longer on the market?
found the dsoft one via google search.
odd he has 3 that all appear the same 2 free 1 $3 but support appears lacking and apparently it has issues with file corruption you won't know about till you find a file it did not record.
consensus on which is the best/most reliable. I don't mind a pay app especially if the quality and transparent (record all calls to sd) automation is good.

As far as I know call recording will not now nor will it ever work over bt. The drivers don't support it
Hmm it must not be accessing the hardware directly like it does on the touch pro2 - since on that unit it records no matter what I use to make the call speaker handset or bluetooth.
Pity
Is this a hardware limitation or a software limitation?

I think both. They tend to remove it as it is illegal in many areas unless you tell them it is being done before they say anything. I used to use it myself till a buddy of mine found the recording while we were looking over my phone files to troubleshoot an issue and as a lawyer he adviced that I stop using it right away or I could be sued lol

[Q] Using multiple bluetooth devices at once

Hello
Is it possible to use more than one bluetooth device at the same time with the Galaxy S2?
I want to use the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headphone socket AND the Sony Ericsson Liveview.
Will connecting both devices work? Will I lose connection quality by doing this?
Probably, as far as i know only the headset uses the audio profile, so it shouldn't interfere.

Well only the headset outputs sound, but I think both the headset and the liveview can change music volume / skip tracks etc.

I don't know what language that is in, I can't understand it.
What does it say? Why would you give me a non-English video?
bump thread
I don't understand the language either, but just watching it made me understand that it can handle multiple devices at the same time. Can't really answer for if your devices will work though.
Hmm yes the video does seem to show multiple devices working.
I will keep waiting for specific replies for my devices, if anyone knows.

BT Headset Sound Issues

hi all,
after updating to official ROM 4.2.2 on my samsung Tab2.7.0 i'm facing problem with connecting my BT headset (plantronics m55). BT connects but i hear strange static or distorted sounds on the both ends (ie. caller and receiver) this issue is only for phone calls.
But headset works fine for VOIP calls, Skype and listening to music and voice guided navigation.
I tried unpairing and and resetting a number of times but nothing has changed, i tried to connect another Plantronics M55 to my tab still the issue existed.

Seems more like a problem with your carrier. Can you hear this sound without the BT also? even faintly.

Are you only using skype and VIOP on wifi?
Could be the way your device handles carrier signals, in such a way it interferes with the bluetooth signals.

dear jkjoms
thanks for the reply... i had been using the stock based rom and was working fine... now again i switched to it(sungsonic hd anniversary edition)...
it is working fine with it.. but out of eagerness i am expecting some solution for it in kitkat custom roms, because they are slimmer and faster... anyhow thanks
looks like this problem started with the official jb update and continues with the M builds for tab 2 series.

Mic record in stereo but not in mono

Hey srry for my english im LAT but i have a problem with my GR5 KII-L23 the microphone just record in stereo but not in mono, it just seems like noisy scratchs, thats because i can record sound when i record a video or even in the voice recorder stock app, but in every voice search like google or youtube it just dont work, whatsapp neither, so there's anyway to get the phone working only in stereo for all apps?
Thanks in advance

You want the audio to be diverted into 2 separate audio receivers. As far as I know, androidv in particular cannot do that.
Well, samsung, note 9 in particular, can do it so I was kinda wondering if its a software thing that can be made available to other android devices.

Samsung got the "separate app sound" but I kinda switched to mate 20 pro. It's a lot better except maybe the speaker and the "separate app sound" feature.

Well, I was using a note 9 and you can find it under "sounds" at the settings. It was really a cool feat I thought it was a bluetooth 5.0 feat.

Yeah, I didn't know that. I wish some developer on xda will read this tnread!
Oh man I really wish the devs would look into this thread. It would be so cool if this is actually made available to all android with bluetooth 5.0
I'm also searching for a porting of this feature since forever
