[Q] best call recorder - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

whats the best call recorder for stock galaxy 2 ICS, have a tried a couple but they seem to only record my side, other side is very faint and cant hear it

I've found that the best voice recorder in general is AndRecorder. The sound is great and you can email the files in .wav format.
I'm guessing the call will have to be on speaker though for the sound to be good enough. I personally have recorded a few phone calls this way & it worked like a charm.

I remember a distro for Milestone... one of our forum mates who "cooked" the rom put a native voice recorder on the ROM. Soon i remember, i put the name here.

Here is the perffect thing you are looking for....
Hope you'll like it...And yeah its for K-Jam
View attachment Resco.Audio.Recorder.v4.51.Full.zip
no software as compared to symbian phones in windows mobile will work well.
there are lot of software but it wont be able to record clearly esp calling person statement,
I disagree.....
I'm using this software.....
And this software really works good.
You can allow this software to record incoming/outgoing call automatically
Set the Bit rate and quality of sound...& a lot more
What else you want...???
No earing sound
I disagree with you. I´ve been using either Resco Audio Recorder, or Vito Audio notes (which is better in my opinion) and both have poor earing volume, almos no soun at all.

Hi Guys,
After struggling for almost 2 years finally I found a way to record both parties voice without putting call on speakerphone. You need to install the attached file and then soft reset your device and bingo you are able to record voice using Vito Audio Notes. I have tested it and its working like charm. For more info checkout the following threads.

call recorder which works?

Hello all.
Does anyone know of any app which will record calls without it needing to be in speaker mode?
Also finding a voice mail app would be handy too!
Sent from my ME525 using Tapatalk
I'm using Total Recall 1.5.7. Works very well.
I want a call recorder for 2.1 Eclair.
Someone knows something to work with 2.1?
All the apps I've tried doesn't record voices at all.
Total recall call recorder works for me only for incoming voice, not for my voice.
Ultimate Voice Recorder only records outgoing voice...
Would anybody be so kind to post the required settings for two-way recording?
Thanks!
I have tried a lot of call recording apps from market, None of them worked for me in any ROM i had, until i flashed chinese ROM 1.11. Chinese ROMS are the only ones who provide support for call recording and they also have a stock builting voice recorder and a firewall for calls sms blocking.
So i now use a chinese ROM with a call recorder app from the Market. (i dont like the stock one, it beeps every few secs)
Yes, call recorder apps work only on the Chinese 2.2 rom, which has a simple call recorder buildin.
Any chance to find a two way recorder for Froyo based on Fin ROM?
Thanks!

Beep?
I tried using that link you used, for froyo call recording, and everything went well, but I got a beep every 8 seconds. It's infuriating. I know that I can push a button to stop it, but I hear that some people don't have it at all.
How is that?

[Q] call recorder?

i want a nice call recorder, one where it records both sides of the conversation. any app recommends?
also i read that some phones cant record on android... is the M4G one of them?

This one i know what i'm talking about....
call recording depends on local and state laws. Some states/countries it is against the law to record phone conversions. While it other only one of the two party members must be made aware of the recording and very very few allow one to record a phone call with out either member knowing.
I would first HIGHLY suggest looking into your local laws regarding this prior to doing it. You could get in some trouble over it.
I know Google Voice will allow you to record incoming calls, but not out going calls. Other than that i do not know of program that will allow you to do this.
this is mainly for when i call customer service lines so there is no problem as they record it as well. plus i'm in a state where only one party (myself) needs to be informed.
edit: tried vrecorder but it records from microphone. no biggie but who likes to use speakerphone?
i read somewhere that android itself limits the recording. can anyone clear this up for me?
I've tried a few of them- all of them were OK if using speaker. without speaker only your voice can be heard and the other side only very faint, if heard at all.
now I an using "record my call" (with the ugly big red button) and it is relatively working fine most of the time. I like it because it enables you to classify as important, delete record etc after the call...

Android doesn't have any mechanism for recording incoming audio in the OS. For some reason it's missing, even though Android is not bound to US borders, and call recording is perfectly legal in other parts of the world. This is the reason why there are few programs to record calls on Android, and none of them work w/o using speaker.
The only existing way to record would be to put the phone on speaker and use any voice recorder you want.
I use "allcallrecorder" just search for it in the market. Works great for me.

[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...?

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

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

Yes, I need this feature as well.
As far as I managed to understand, problem is the lack of ability for line recording, as opposed to microphone recording which is enabled. Obviously with microphone recording, the far side's volume is very week, so that's why you it doesn't work properly.

The problem with call recording is in kernel. Our kernel does not support 2 way recording (so both voices recording from line). It will record from headphones. No way to fix with any problem. Only way is to add 2-way call recording in kernel.

That's not entirely true. If you look at what I wrote in this app's thread to the dev, I managed to produce a scenario (involving the headphones) in which I managed to make it work.

It does in one very awkward scenario. Copying here what I wrote in the Boldbeast call recorder thread. Here's the scenario:
- Plugged headphones
- Made the call and started recording (Let's call it stage 1). At this point I couldn't hear the call sound in my headphones, but still in the phone (no such problem if I don't record)
- Turned speaker on (stage 2). Now I hear the call in the speaker of course
- Turned speaker off, at this point I could hear the call in my headphones (stage 3)
Now when playing back the recording, I could see that in stage 1 I could hear the far side low, but in stages 2 & 3 I could hear it fine.
Note that stage 3 is the interesting one. The speaker is off, I hear the sound in my headphones, and the far end is recorded fine.
I really can't put a finger on the reason to the problem. I'm just saying I reached a state where I could record a 2-way call, without having the speaker on at this stage.

Had problems in the past uploading videos, so will guide you step by step. Please try to keep up.
First of all make sure your device is properly rooted and that you uninstall all other call recording apps.
Now install BoldBeast call recorder.
After installation, go to the application setup, Call settings :
- Set call recording mode to 22
- Enable root options (took me a few times until it worked, but it should work)
- Fix Recording Issues - mark all options except for Auto switch speaker on
(On a side note - these settings were the only ones that somehow worked. You are welcome to try other ones)
Now after setting this up, you will see a record icon for any call you make. Clicking it will start recording the call (showing a blue paw icon in the status bar). You can then hear the recorded calls by selecting the phone icon in the app.
Now to scenario I described:
- Plug your earphones in
- Make a call
- Click the record button. At this point, you won't hear the audio in your earphones but still in the phone
- Turn the speaker on, then turn it off
- You will now hear the audio in your earphones
Now after you hangup, you will hear both sides of the call starting the point you turned the speaker on and off.
This is really awkward. I guess christi is right by saying that the problem is in the kernel/ROM (as it worked properly with stock JB & KK). In addition, this app's dev told me it should have worked for me (using another mode - 34), and that he couldn't help if it didn't. So, I guess that until the kernel/ROM is fixed, we won't have call recording working normally in this ROM.

Firstly, I got my device back. Secondly, I have never ever promised anything like that. I said that I will watch on it and see what can be done, so never promised a thing. This is not a priority for me since it's not my job or anything like this. I am making this for free and I have never charged anything so far. Who wants can donate, but again, I am not charging, so I am making this when I want/ have free time/ have the mood for it. If you still doubt it, or anyone does, I have the pm saved. Please don't say I promised when I didn't do such thing. Things like this drive me nuts. Have a nice day.
cool man.. i just said simply.. dont be serious. sorry if i anything did wrongly..
