Does anybody know of a program for the xda that will record the phone conversation. It would be much easy to record all or part of the conversation instrad of taking notes.
Thanks
Nothing needed but the XDA it's self!
Guess waht? The XDA already does that! While you are talking open notes then hit the recorder icon and then the record button and there you have it conversation now being recorded. I use this quite often when consulting or troubleshooting with a client. Make sure to know the law on this matter. Here in the states you must notify the other party they are being recorded! :? Also make sure you have a large SD card and have settings in notes app default to SD. Keeping long conversations on your SD card will soon lead to a conversation not getting recorded due to lack of mem. So shuttle them on to a portable hard disk or desktop hard drive for archiving.
Fantastic... thanks for that. Is there anyway to make it automatic as when i am in the car (its on speaker) its hard do all of that.
Again thanks
You might want to alter the general settings, for the recorder, and choose a lower bitrate and quality. Recording phone conv in stereo and high bit rate will take up space very quickly!
as far as I know there is no way to have a sort of profile that you would in this case call speaker phone. There is a profile app out there. The only thing I know how to do is set speaker phone to default. meaning everytime you answer the phone it is in speaker phone mode. you have to then take it out of speaker phone mde if you do not wish to have your conversation public. I find it easy enough to just hold down the little green phone key for a few seconds activating the speaker phone when ever I need that function. Sorry this is an awsome device but cant do everything :wink: There are car kits you can buy that may add or activate this automatic once put in the car cradle. Sorry it's not cut and dry :?
Thanks again for the comments and for thinking about this problem for me. In short i need to have a setting so that once checked all my calls are recorded automatically. That means when i first get into the van i just check the phone record button and all i have to do is then answer the calls and they are auto recorded.
Again thanks
Hmmm, and how about a program that sits quietly in the background, records all calls, gpg-encrypts them with a supplied public key and at night uses GPRS to post them to alt.anonymous.messages ?
We live in interesting times.
Remind me to never call you :shock:
There are some macro apps online you can try that might be smart enough to run this app, start record, and end record once a call is activated and terminated. Do a Google search for pocket pc+macro? Or just hit the software sales vendors sites. What you really need is probably to pay someone to write such a program, and consult a Lawyer regarding the legalities of such an app, not to mention a .wav file that automatically plays to the caller before you start talking, letting them know they are being recorded. Whew! Anything else :mrgreen: I think the XDA can also be used as a marital aid while in vibrate mode:shock: and with some servos, a designated connection, and some Souder you could probably also dial into your home network push 1 to start the coffee maker, 2 to preheat the oven, and 3 to run the bath :mrgreen: No harm intended just expanding your idea here
Regarding your comment XDA-dev* I live in the US and our little Homeland Security Trio is and has probably already been doing this :shock: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) the black shades are watching you
I know I'm going to hit my head for asking , but why do you need to record all your calls "In The Van" :shock: :mrgreen: Hmmm on second thought don't post that after all:mrgreen:
Cheers,

Thanks every for this. I did not want to open a can of ethical worms or think and double think. I am a wine salesman and get order / addresses etc over the phone and its a real pain in the xxx to pull over jot everything down. At the moment i am using a voice recorder where i basically repeat everything into but if the xda could do it all ....
Anyway thanks for the interest and the ideas
Well in fact, you can use any programme that can record, I used something myself, but it was long ago and can't remember the name... it was capable of recording to mp3 directly
Without the use of macros, you will have to manually click the record icon in notes or set a button to begin recording once hit while you are in a call.
Zviratko is referring to the mp3 record program which I can't remember the name either :lol: :roll: but I'll post when I find it. This is a good program since MP3's are smaller in size and will use less disk space.
It was some VERY old programme for old WinCE or Pocket PC, for making voice notes...
The recorder program does not sound too bad or the macros... where would i get them from i am not a technical person. Or as somebody point out i could pay to get it done if it was not too much, who could do that. As for the recorder idea my current one (seperate from the xda) is on when i am in the van and is activated only it there is noice. All that means is that i drive around with the radio, another pain but ........
Again thanks and looking forward to your answers.
Here in the states you must notify the other party they are being recorded!

Actually there were only 5 states that required this when I last researched it. In most states as long as one party consents (this can be you), then it is legal. IE, it's only illegal to record someone else's conversations.
Carlos that good to know :shock:
Vino do a google search for "Pocket PC software macro(s)" and try starting there.
I was thinking about it and a temp solution until some magic software comes along set your XDA to auto answer in a certian number of rings under the Settings, Phone, More tab.
Then set one of your hardware buttons to record once pressed, under Settings, Buttons.
Now you only have to push "one" button to record your converstions . The program is caled mNote or NoteM. Check the online software vendors for that or just under their search option put mp3 recorder, or just mp3. It will come up.
That is a fantastic solution .... Thanks
I found a program on the xda hotvoice.exe does anybody know what it does and how can you execute it.
Thanks
What I have done is maped one of the botton's the record funtion. Then I just press and hold the button while I want to record.
To get detailed, I usually just repet when the person has said, they think I'm writing it down little do they know I'm recording my voice.
I then sink to my PC later, and create a task, note, email or update an address. delete the note and then resink.
my two cents.... thinks like this is where the true value of an intigrated device is!
Does anyone know of a program that can provide continuous alerts (ring/vibrate) until I acknowledge and turn it off? I get a one time ring or vibrate alert but often don’t notice the one short vibrate. So, unless I look at the phone I will never know I missed a call, have an email, or anything else. I have a Treo 600 also and there is a real handy program called Treo Butler that does just what I need but it is only for Palm OS. I use the T-Mobile PPC 2003 phone.
Thank you in advance.

regards,
Do you know if it has repeating alarms for email, missed voice calls, and voice mail? it says "Repeating sound for appointment, task and clock alarms" but it does not sound like it has any phone related repeats.
Thanks.
Joe
It's a windows configuration thing
I guess, this is a windows configuration thing.
You can configure warnings for different events right within Windows mobile. Based on this, it should be possible.
But just to be on the save side: Download a trial version and try it to make sure it works in the way you want.

Continuous Alerts / Repeating Alarms
I tried Pocket Plus 2.0 and it does not seem to enable repeating alarms for Mised Calls or Voice Mail. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
I have the same issue and e-mailed spb to see if/when they would be suppor ing this. They would not commit, but the CTO said they always 'listened to their customers' ;-) I did get hold of a beta version of 'Super Alert' from www.pocketfillers.com, that covered these functions, but it was designed for WM2002. I have not been able to get another beta version for WM2003, and have been too scared to try the old version on my XDA 2 :-o I''l try and get hold of the guy at pocketfillers to see if they have an update.
Regards
Chris
FINALLY
I have been whining about this for MONTHS. No repeating alerts for missed calls, etc.
To answer that previous post, NO, that software doesn't do it. Repeating alarms for calender crap etc, but not phone related functions.
I've been saying that most all cell phones have repeating alerts, but despite searching I haven't found a single thing to accomplish this on the PPC.
Cheers.
The current release of 'super alert' does not contain the functionality, but if you read the post, you'll see that I received a beta version of the next version, that adds SMS, email and voice mail repeating alerts. It has one or two bugs, but works pretty well on the whole. They were due to release it last year, but must have run into some development issue. Also, I have not tried it since I upgraded to WM2003.
PocketZenPhone
Isn't this exactly the functionality provided for XDA-II, for free, by PocketZenPhone ?
I have this set so that any missed call or incoming SMS sets the red LED alert flashing with no time limit - so a quick glance shows if something has happened that I haven't noticed/acknowledged yet.
This seemed like the most battery-friendly way of ensuring a long-term notification.
Thanks for the pointer to pocketZenPhone. It seems to have some usful features, but it looks like it only supports a 'visual' repeating alert, as opposed to an 'audible' repeating alert for the phone functions. Am I reading that correctly? If I am, then I think this is available in the basic WM2003 os under 'notifications' I set this yesterday based on a post in another thread, and it is a big help, but you have to remember to 'glance' at your device from time to time. I think everyone is looking for the audible repeating alert to remind those of us that can't remember to look. Aren't we a sad lot?
is there a command line program that can load the bluetooth settings directly? or maybe a command line app that can automatically set a bluetooth device as handsfree or wirelessstereo.
and talking about command line apps, is there an app out there that can send sms through paramaters? something like "sendsms.exe +639175550000 hi how are you"
ciao!
woooot!
i found this:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases
i've been looking for something like these even before i got my athena.
i'll update you guys after i tested them
EDIT:
now, on a very busy street (prone with snatchers and the like), i can send a text message to my wife by just using the bluetooth earphones (plantronics pulsar 260). i can now speak to my headset "start: o.k." and then it'll send "okay honey. i love you." to her number. another scripted text message is "start: on my way" to send "ok honey, i'm on my way."
this is a very very convenient feature (imho) for something like an athena (big), specially while i'm walking (or running?) down the street which is usually crammed with people.
i'm sure i can find more ways to make my life easier, because of these apps. and hopefully, i can install vs2005 and do some more serious programming myself. hope you enjoyed this as much as i do.
ciao!
I've searched on Goolge, XDA and many other android forums but fail to find a proper Answering Machine app for Android. By Answering Machine I mean the app that acts like a voicemail residing on the phone - I can see many so called Answering Machine apps which auto-respond to calls via predefined SMS <- this is NOT what I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Visual Voicemail?
Yes. Google Voice.
Google Voice has not started in India. I need an offline - standalone app which is not affiliated with any online service.
i don't think there is one mate..... the old symbian Nokias did...
that was because they were able to send sound directly to the caller ... i dunno if its a hardware limitation ... i really hope someone can figure that out...
i remember used to be able to play songs straight to my conversation so they can feel the base and treble more clearly...i miss that function...also the app with background noises to fake ur surrounding.....
i wonder if N8 can do this...?
***EDIT**** oops i realize u meant online service... nevamind... hehe ignore my RANT
Answering machine app? Isn't it just the voicemail itself with pre-recorded greeting message?
Or visual voicemail like someone mentioned before.
Edit: I see you need an offline service. The ones I know all all either bound by carrier or need internet.
Calling developers
When I had a symbian phone, things were so easy. I used IVCM (interactive voice call master) to handle incoming calls.
This app is near to perfection, it can distinguish callers (in address book, in some whitelist, in a blacklist, unknown callers and, last but not least, private numbers)
For any of those you can define a suitable treatment, invoke the answering machine after xx seconds, play a notification then hang up, forward the call to another number, play the busy tone, and more options.
Furthermore you can schedule the behaviour, so the phone switches to answering machine at once during the night, let only friends reach you in the evening etc...
Outgoing messages can be personalised by address group, country (=different language!), friends, private number callers etc..
It can also record a call (incoming, outgoing or both) without beeps.
This is a call to the Android developer community. Please build us an app with a similar usability, picking things up where IVCM stopped.
I will be your first customer and prepared to pay well for it!
Have you tried youmail from android market?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
cannot work due to technical reasons
yep, I had the same kind of soft on my symbian, it was called Advanced Call Manager (ACM). The same soft exists for Android, so I tried it, but no answering machine on the Android version. I asked the developer team, and they told me it's not possible on Android.
this is confirmed by several posts
forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1533213
groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/e8904c82a2c4a333?pli=1[/url]
it's the only feature I miss since I switched over from my symbian phone
youmail? the would be something to post in the android section of xda not the vibrant section. Also since you are looking for India specific stuff it would get a wider audience of people around the world
Hi there
I was looking for the same, and found a old solution.
The Name is airvoice, but works only on rootet Phone and only on the old Android Hero mobile.
I asked the developer to continue his great work. He seems to be dissapointet, that so many people votet his app so bad in the market.
So if you guys also try to contact the developer (through the contact inf's on the Market) maybe he will continue?
Greetings to you all!

Also there is a ongoing discussion on the same topic on android stackexchange.
Sorry,can insert a link as a newbie open android.stackexchange and search for "Answering Machine on Android"
might be of interest to some one

back to symbian

same here..!!
i used BEST ANSWERING MACHINE on symbians, for answering my calls during my work time, and i used to listen and respond accordingly to the recorded calls. i seriously think symbians was the smartphone,
androids not.
i dont want ease of facebook on the go, i want ease of phone on the go. i want SMARTphone, not the handy pc for accessing rich websites on the go.
i ended up buying a second hand nokia e72 for managing my life while mm on work,
i have android ASUS ZENFONE 4.5
and Apple 5s but nowhere i found reliable answering machine,
the solution i found is going back to symbians to manage my calls.
Sony Xperia Z series have built in Answering machine... I know that can be ported to other rooted Android Phones as well. But dont know how to do it.
If some God can port this.iT ll be great and I am Ready to Pay. Or Somebody guide me.. with how to Mod Links.I'll try.
I used to have the Note3 LTE ..I loved it very much..but no ans machine..so now i bought Xperia Z and Happy LIfe..
No more unattended calls from unknown numbers.
i found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pmiyusov.mvm&rdid=com.pmiyusov.mvm
2 things that i found with this, the caller could here the greeting, but the greeting is played out loud in the phone,( so cant be used in meetings) and it failed to record the message( i did not tinker with the settings, so cant really say that the app is non-functional). BUT this does look like someone is trying, so kudos to the developer.
I use a galaxy s3 with installer version of cyanogen.
Im looking for this too. I had the app call Autopilot answering machine on my n82 (maybe now it has been abandoned). Just let me explain the feature of this app because it cannot be compared to 100% to Google Voice:
1) You can record your own voice as the answering machine to block call and play your own voice when someone call you. Example "Hello dude I'm not available right now please leave a message". Of course I was able to set only specific contact with that voice.
2) the app able to auto record voice too.
3) perhaps this is hardware limitation because the app can mute your mic when answering machine is executed (so that the receiver only can hear your answering machine voice).
I was looking for this app for a long time. I dont think it exist. Maybe not possible.

Can anyone help me have that?
Developer prefer to dev game because it is useful than visual voicemail. If you want to use voicemail, you can come back to Symbian.
Forward incoming calls app is the solution to me
Hello, I've been looking for that too.
I think that an alternative may be to divert the call to a mailbox a voip service or conventional telephone answering service.
This will cost and will require an extra line (or the use of electronics own line desk), but it is what I mean when possible.
For this I will use a call forward app with rules, as QuickCallForward or other, with more filtering rules. Some app with whitelist, blacklist, unknown, scheduler for use in specific times and days.

Hello
I'm trying find a working app for voice call recording (both ways - in and out and both parties - me and other person)
So far I've tried several from top search result in market "call recording", but none of them worked at all on stock rom v2.2.2 (no sound)
Does anyone know any working and preferable free app that can do it?
Thank you.
I don't thing there is any app for that in the market. I know if you tweak kernel and add some mods then you will be able to record calls (like in some HTC desire Hd roms)
Sent from Motorola Atrix
Oh, that doesn't sound good...is that because of some kind of security?
Messing with kernels is out of my leage.
As I recall from prior discussions, many states require one or both sides of the phone call to accept that the call is being recorded before recording can be done. Then there are additional rules on whether or not you can record both sides of the conversation. It is a legal mess that would probably deter any legitimate effort to make a phone have full recording abilities.
That's what was discussed anyway, it doesn't change the fact that my dumbphones from years ago can record everything without any app or modification! Perhaps though since their recording quality was crap it didn't count haha.
Maybe he wants to record phone sex?
The hardware isn't there for it on the atrix if I remember correctly unless you use speaker phone you only end up recording your section of the call.
The law its different per state (in the usa) some allow with no notification others require a beep some need one or both parties to be notified
Basically, the functionality doesn't exist in the Android SDK. What broken calls do exist in the SDK, they're crippled by the fact that manufacturers and carriers make their own radio firmwares and your radio firmware must support recording in order to actually tap into the hardware microphone and hardware earpiece. Some apps will attempt to record from the speakerphone playback but it's ****. Most everyone I know who is actually recording their calls either uses a non-Android phone (Nokia N900 comes in handy here). Google voice can record calls but it will make an audible announcement to both parties which, in states like Arizona, is not legally necessary. Other than that, your next best bet is to record the call using a landline.
I noticed something in the changelog of the EternityProject Kernel..
ALSA: Support for concurrent playback/record

There is nothing in law regarding beeps. I have no idea where people get that one from, but I see it a lot.
The laws differ state to state from requiring only one parties consent to requiring all parties consent, and generally goes by the law in the state of the person recording. In any case you have to be one of the parties involved in the call, (and can therefore give your consent if the one party law applies). You cannot record other people on their private calls if you are not one of the active call participants. There are no states which allow "no notification" for private parties. There are one person and all person regulations/laws, meaning one person must consent, or all must consent.
There is also federal law which can be cited to overrule state law dependent on the court case.
The only time that calls can be recorded without anybodies consent is when it is business related and is the norm for all calls to be recorded. You are expected to realize that you could be recorded. The reason you usually get a message first telling you that recording will take place is more of a courtesy.
In my case I need call recording for when I forward my land line to my cellphone while traveling and unable write things down. Combine this with bad memory in general, now you have this urge have such feature...Feel like that guy from movie "Memento"...
P.S.
So much for that "law" when all our calls are monitored and recorded anyhow...

Does your landline service offer voicemail text translation? I use Vonage for land based calls, and have used the text translation. It works pretty damn well.
There is a difference between voicemail and actual conversation

What app allows you to record with the speaker phone going? I've tried a couple but it glitches out. Looking to do a interview for a student newspaper, so I'm not too worried about privacy.
