Dear friends,
most of the last Chinese Android Dual SIM Phones have the ability to record phone calls on both lines.
It is usually necessary during the call, press the soft key "menu" and choose to start recording.
The file - usually in .amr - is saved on the SD, in a path that is not modifiable and with a name that generally only contain the time and date of registration, but not the called number.
Understand very well that with these assumptions, this function is practically useless.
The problem is that with these telephones is almost impossible to find a third-party software able to operate automatically and well on both lines.
I saw that in the Forum are developed specific phone.apk able to solve these issues, but they are all device dependent works.
Someone would be able to find a general solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pietro. This app (name on title of this post) record the call, wiht the date, contact name, number and other things but I don't know if it works on dual SIM phones. It saves the recording file in AMR, WAV, 3GPP and MP4. Ciao

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,
E.
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!
Thanks to xda-developers, Jeff's kitchen, T-Mobile's ridiculous data rate plans, and nPOP, my XDA is nearly approaching perfect status where it does everything I want almost exactly perfectly. Not sure who's responsible for the mic mute button in the phone interface, but that was a huge deal for me too.
So, what's left? Not much! Here's some annoyances though:
1. I wish you could copy phone numbers in some places. In SIM Manager or in the Phone call log, you cannot copy a phone number for pasting into an existing contact. You can create a new contact, but you can't just copy a phone number onto the clipboard.
2. The XDA is the only phone I've ever seen from any manufacturer in any country where the battery level is not part of the interface. Lots of shareware options available, but can't understand why this isn't part of the interface.
3. Would like to be able to record voice notes more easily. It's one button press on an iPaq, requires several pen clicks on the XDA.
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.
Hi, i plan to develop some app, which will be recording calls, and i would like to use class MediaRecorder with parameter VOICE_CALL. I dont need this app to work on multiple phone models, i need to find just one model which is able to record calls. The best choice would be model which has "native" support of call recording and no customizations(root, custom roms, kernels) are needed.
This app has list of supported devices, does it mean that all listed devices are able to record calls with MediaRecorder?
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schass.recording.call&feature=search_result
sry, cant post links
Ty for help
Experiencie
I try many apps in the past for some my problem, and :
Auto Call Recorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&feature=search_result
Call Recorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=polis.app.callrecorder&feature=search_result
(and others apps too, but this two are the best in my opinion)
The best option (for me) is Auto Call Recorder, so I bought that apps (the version without ads). It's a very good apps with many configurations. I recommend you look the apps al take an idea of the options. It's simple, and powerful (great combination).
i am not looking for existing application, i am trying to find some phone which is able to record phone calls using android Class MediaRecorder.
I recommend Chinese phones. That apps say in the "about us" and in the "FAQ", they use android Class MediaRecorder (not Root Requiered)
But have a problem, in brand phones (like motorola milestone 2 or samsung) only record from the speaker and not from the Call
I don't have that problem because I use Chinese Phone (Star x18i and LT18i) and work perfect the record from the Call. But in a Milestone of a friend have that problem. Also we root it and try again, so the problem continue.
Try to research that, maybe I'm wrong but maybe not. Search include the Google Play and you found in the comments many persons who say the don't work in "brands phones"
Hello everyone,
So I upgraded my phone and as a result went from Marshmallow to Pie, and was told by my call recipients that they can hear a beep (couldn't be heard before). After little research I found this: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-call-recording-tone-support-record-phone-calls-lawfully/ Looks like Google has done what they've promised...
The tone is a 1400Hz note that will play every fifteen seconds if the carrier enables it. It works by detecting the package name of a call recording app using the previously linked API. If any such package is detected, then the outgoing call will have the tone played to warn the other end that their call may be recorded. The tone will be automatically played depending on carrier configuration, which is determined by the SIM card.

Now I need to stop this beeping, and coulnd't think of a better place than XDA to ask for help. Any ideas?
Google Pixel 3, 181205 update, rooted, Vodafone UK, using ACR Pro to record.
P. S. The tone can only be heard by your recipient and is network dependant, like the article said. Tried EE SIM and it doesn't beep, while Vodafone does Hope this will help someone to come up with solution quicker.
OK, so a month later I can say that I was unable to find any solutions online, and only a few people reported this issue (all on Vodafone).
According to the commits, Vodafone Germany is the only carrier that this call recording tone support will be mandated (for now), as the MCC/MNN combination mentioned in one of the files matches Vodafone’s carrier identity: 26202.

What do you think, is it possible to change my MCC/MNN numbers while staying on Vodafone, so this new feature wouldn't engage?

Call recording is a bit of a thorny issue when it comes to privacy. There are also different rules in different places, making it hard for Google to implement a standard in Android without falling foul of the law in certain jurisdictions. Android's official call recording API was removed in Android 6.0 Marshmallow, so third-party app developers have had to be creative since then. As of Android 9 Pie, it looks like Google has put a stop to it altogether.

You can still use 3rd party apps for call recording, but now carriers have an option to turn this 1400Hz tone to let other party know you're recording. Germany is two-party consent state therefore Vodafone decided to opt-in on this bloody tone worldwide even though most EU countries, including the one I'm in, doesn't require consent for recording calls unless you're a business. I believe in android community, we have overcome bigger issues
I did not expect that literally nobody else would find this beeping to be a problem... There must not be too many Vodafone customers with rooted Android Pie wanting to record calls then
