[Q] Which phones supports voice_call audiosource option in recording

Hi,
I am creating app with recording function. It's for customer which then buy new phones for using with this app. So I am looking for android phones that support AudioSource.VOICE_CALL option in recording. I was searching and find out it depends on version of android too (for example in galaxy s with update came disable of this function). So are there some phones that have this function in every version that support? Or which phone with which android version do you recommend? It should be phones in range 99euro to 149euro.
In some forum I read that most branded phones no longer support this and I should look for chinese phones. Are there any with good quality and you can tell me that these phone support voice_call?
Thanks
Mostly android phone support this option but no idea about chines phone.
Really? Can you please give me some phones in my price range which has this option with 100%? Thanks

[Q] ANT+ support on N9?

As per subject, I'd like to upgrade for a quicker tablet than my n7 2012 for use with my bike turbo trainer...... but does the n9 have native ANT+ support?
Thanks in advance....
The info I gave on the Nexus Help Forum Google Group about the Nexus 6 applies to the Nexus 9 too:
There's 2 parts to this question:
1. Will Android 5.0 include the ANT+ API's?
If it does, then the Nexus 6 9 will definitely include the ANT+ hardware - as the Nexus devices showcase any new OS functionality. We haven't heard any news about this though, so I doubt it.
2. Will the Nexus 6 9 have ANT+ hardware?
If this is the case, then it should be possible to add the software piece in a custom ROM/AOSP build, just like was done for the Moto G 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/ant-moto-g-4g-maybe-t2875420
or possibly using the ANT+ Enabler app (if you want to pay for it) in the same way as the Nexus 5 and 10: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus
Fingers crossed.

Looking at the iFixit Nexus 9 teardown, yes it does have ANT+ hardware (the Broadcom BCM4354)!
Note that the patch for the Moto G 4G mentioned above will not work, as that is for a Qualcomm chip.

Meizu M6 Note port Google Camera with HDR+

Meizu M6 Note uses Snapdragon 625 and runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat, however, I don't know if Camera2 API is supported by this device. I would surely buy this thing if it can do HDR+ using modded Google Camera app! I still have the original MX 4-core and the MX5, and I really want to add this to my collection (good thing it has full manual control as well!)
do you have updates on this ? i would be interested to buy as well.

There's a magisk module that enables camera 2 API have you tried this one?

Do I need a custom recovery installed on my phone before I can use the magisk module? I don't believe Meizu phones have that

You got the device pretty early
The device launched two month ago in China so MEIZU hasn't even released this device firmware.
That means no TWRP recovery yet
MEIZU also going to launch this phone globally in a few months so the best thing for now is wait.
(They announced that they going to launch this phone soon in Greece)
I really believe this device would get a good community support as SD625+Sony IMX 362 makes a great combo.
The camera really destroys even the Mi6 sensor in some ocations and the phone only cost 140€ for the 16gb version.
Also don't forget the quite superior front facing camera .
I was going to get the mi a1 but when I saw this bad boy I knew this is the phone I'll get.

I can't understand what you wanna say
If I understand you're talking about the M6 Note community.
There no global release for the device yet .
Even MEIZU hasn't released the device ROM on their website so no bootloader unlock or custom recoveries yet.
MEIZU will launch the phone soon in EU so we'll have to wait for a global ROM , bootloader unlock tool and kernel sources

You're talking about the device specific forums
A couple of days ago I asked in the device request section to register this device on the forums.
Before we had to post on the General section
Now we have the device description,section and tags
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/meizu-m6-note
As I said the device released a couple of months so we have to wait
Looking forward for the Google Camera Port to this cheap IMX362 sensor! Hope it got great performance.
I have this phone now for a week with the latest Flyme update (6.1.4.3A). Phone has amazing battery life and realy good camera but.........it lacks B20 support. Even the site of Meizu says it's support B20 but it does not https://www.meizu.com/en/note6/spec/. I hope in future they can enable it by software but I'm afraid it's hardware related. I have modelnumber M721Q whisch should be Netcom Public version (whatever this means). https://reameizu.com/meizu-product/m721/

Just ordered this phone myself, can you tell me what this means and how did you notice? Will I be able to use it effectively in Holland and Belgium where band 20 is used!?
Was just looking forward to throw away my old 4s. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Maybe you can tell me where did you buy it? Thanks!

I bought it at Lightinthebox. I checked several sites for Band 20 and they confirmed it. Prior to this phone I had GalaxyS5 and LG G3 and both had 4G in my area. The Meizu did not receive 4G. After installing the app Network Signal Guru I discovered no band 20 was supported on my Meizu. I have KPN as proviceder and they use Band 20 for G4. In crowded areas like "Randstad" they also support B3 which the Meizu supports and confirm that 4G is working on B3 but not B20. The support desk of Lightinthebox will check this with Meizu.
Update: I found out you need model B721H Global version

Latest Google Camera app to test on the M6 Note
Google this:
Google Camera 5.1XX apk with Working HDR+ [Mod]
On the stupdroid website, under Download section there are 3 links.
Can someone please try the 3rd link and see if the Gcam work?
PS: I don't have the M6 Note yet and I don't know if the website, the links and the app is trustworthy. Otherwise I would have tested it myself and share the good news.
Not working at all. Sorry. App crashes.

NFC??

Does the Poco F1 have NFC (at least in europe)??? I read somewhere that it doesnt have NFC, which would suck, since Google Pay just started here in Germany...
As far as we've seen specs, they all indicate it doesn't come with NFC, I guess it's a small trade they made for a cheaper phone (small for me since I don't use it)
No NFC. Read the reviews from Android Authority and GSMArena. The Verge also covered the phone.
I don't mind since there are no other SD845 phones under $399. They had to cut corners. NFC and IP cert are usually on the chopping block as far as features go...
No it does not have nfc
People in India don't need NFC. Because we barely use it. In the last five years I never used NFC. Maybe for Europe people their transport system has payments with NFC so they'll face an issue.

I never use NFC for payment. But using NFC for sending files (android beam) or transferring file from old phone to new one (if both support NFC) are pretty neat!
I am still confused. Many places say it doesn't have it but some websites (XDA included) state it does. Could someone verify?
Maybe its possible to Upgrade NFC with a NFC enabled Back Cover. WE need a tear down Video already!
The specs given initially on XDA included NFC. But it handy seems this was not correct - the post has been ammended to state "no NFC", consistent with other reports and hands-on videos I've seen.
I've never come across an external NFC device for any phone. Would be a handy device to have, though it would presumably occupy the usb-c, which in itself would be a PITA
Someone on another forum raised an interesting idea. There were the initial ideas that the F1 might have NFC. It was suggested that either the European version might have NFC or even that all versions might have NFC but that it might not be enabled in the Indian ROM.
To check this, if anyone has an F1, could they please install DevCheck from XDA or Play and just check on the hardware page to verify that NFC hardware is not present.
Thanks a million

Speaking of the European version, is that a thing yet? Is it possible to get my hands on that from anywhere?
Well bad news, devcheck shows no nfc hardware.

Hi Sanjay, that's the case on my Hong Kong / international version too - i think naff47 is asking about the European version (if that's different from the international one - highly doubtful I'd have thought). I read from someone in the Netherlands that it had launched there (it's available on import from China pretty much everywhere), but haven't seen this confirmed.
Time will tell

Hongkong probably will be made in China, whereas mine is made in India.
Not too sure if there is any other manufacturing facility for our phone
Plus I don't think NFC will add that much to the cost that they will put it in selectively.
The only way to use NFC with the F1 is by getting Samsung S3 Fronier smart watch. That will connect to the F1 and the watch has NFC. I tested it and it works great. You need to use Magisk hide if you're rooted,
There is no NFC built into the Poco.

Great to hear you've found that setup works!
Just to check, have you managed to write to tags as well as read from them?
I won't be shelling out on a Samsung smart watch, but if that works, there's hope for other smart watches!

In India an S3 frontier costs more than Poco F1
Exactly!! :laugh:

Who is gonna spend that much and that also in country like India.
but in India we use Mostly Paytm, PhonePe, BHIM UPI etc. apps which are UPI based apps so We don't need NFC must Have.
UPI is the standard way from Indian Government to Pay Digitally even with Low End Phones, and this phone is made accordingly!

Question ANT+ support in Galaxy S23 series phones?

Hey all,
because the S23 phones are not listed on thisisant.coms certified device database and because I can't find ANT+ listed in official Samsung device specs:
Is there ANT+ support build in?
Every galaxy S series since S4 had it and listed it, but I miss this information for S23.
Would be nice if one could test support with the ANT Tester app from Quantrity and post a screenshot.
Thanks.
it says "no" here for internal ANT support (device is SM-S918B, EUX)....
Built-in ANT detected:
No
USB On-The-Go support:
Yes
