I am tired of trying out hundreds of apps to find a way that lets me record phone calls with both participants being audible. I know there are some Android systemic restrictions, but since I live in a country where call recordings are legal, I'd really like to have that opportunity.
Can someone tell me:
What are the restrictions on Android, specifically up to date OxygenOS
On a rooted phone, are there other avenues to explore?
What is your experience?
Are there apps that let you record such calls with a headset?
Thanks.
I used an excellent one for business. My phone that I used it on is down right now need to flash hey. You can find this app on Magisk repository And it is a pretty much the only one on there if I remember right? Hope it helps if you can't find it. Let me know and I will.
Here found this real quick. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/app-enable-call-recording-boot-t3634292

maybe someone can help me. im used to having a blackberry however i got htc evo 3d today and making or receiving calls is hell. i can't hear anyone.
and evo won't sync my contacts from gmail into the contact address book on the phone.
i am new to this phone so please explain what am i doing wrong and better yet what can i do to improve these before going insane.
thank u
The first thing that I would check is to make sure that your phone actually programmed. Next log into your gmail account online and make sure that your contacts are in my contacts and not other contacts. If they are on your phone, but not in your gmail, then what I would recommend that you do is export the contacts up to the memory card, and then re-import them to the gmail account. They will sync from there. As far as the no sound thing, take it to a full service store and have them check it out. From there, depending on where you got it, you might need to go back to the original place of purchase and have it exchanged.

If you literally cannot hear anyone, take it to have it swapped out.
If you can hear people but it is very hard to hear try the hearing aids setting, I believe under the call menu in settings.
I did figure out how to get gmail contacts synced. thank god.
The hearing is just very very weak. Ive been reading that this is one major problem with evo 3d and that they haven't fixed the bug yet. Welllll how am I supposed to work on this phone if it sounds like the people im talking to are 100000000 miles away. even speaker is just very weak.
i did hear someone say theres a way to change the voice coding by bypassing through with some msl code. i called sprint and they refused to provide me the code saying that for security purposes they do not provide this code. i take it they dont want their phones unlocked so that we purchase all of their apps. just like the iphone. however i know there are ways to get the code but im not tech savvy and have no idea how to do this.
anyone? with any help i would really appreciate it.
ughhhh its really hard going from a blackberry to an android. every day is a learning experience.

I got no problems with earpice speaker I think is too loud sometimes lol
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
I pretty much always use lowest volume when I'm on the phone.

You can get MSL by downloading the MSL app from the market if you have root.

im super new to the android system. so i have no idea how to root. if it's not difficult and someone is willing to help me out, i would REALLY appreciate it.

Your welcome.
Thank u
I will definitely read over the guide this weekend and hopefully won't mess anything up in my phone. :/
So when they say root the phone, is that the same thing as unlocking it so you can download free apps etc?
Thanks
What practical use do you see for S-Voice besides waking up phone & ask for weather?
Let's discuss that here, so we could build our experience of possible use ways of S-Voice for the time when we'll get our hands on the phone
I don't see much practical use except maybe for apple fanboys...
Besides in a car I find voice controls hardly practical and sometimes obnoxious.

It doesn't look very stylish to type silently on your phone while waiting in line at Starbucks. So have a conversation with your phone while you wait in line. The Galaxy S3 is just like an old friend who is ready to strike up a conversation with you. All you have to do is say "Hi Galaxy!"
You can shout obscenity at it while you're pissed off at work. There is a market for anger management apps.
LOL, i thought of real usage suggestions, not laughs

The SGS2 is no fun to talk with because it is just a phone..
But the Galaxy S3 is a different story. She is natural and human. She knows when I sleep. She watches me every moment of the day. She always knows what I want next.
I think it depends what its capable of. Can you ask it to do calculations? can you ask it to create a shopping list? can you ask it to play a certain song? or could you ask it to read out a text message, ask it to call someone.

also really curious of how much it is capable of
The key will be extending it to other apps unlike the POS that is Siri which only works with Apple apps. E.g. Can I use SVoice to send messages or make calls using custom dialed or SMS.
I hope to be a greek version otherwise it is useless for me
I have uninstalled vlingo. Google voice search is handy, when I search for something but don't know how to spell it.
Svoice could be useful while driving in my car to trigger a phone call.

I see it working with my Bluetooth in my car. I get in the car forget to turn on Bluetooth and just say hi galaxy turn on Bluetooth . And I'm all ready to receive calls and my music starts to play automatically.
Other then that no use at all. Im from Australia so it probably won't even understand me, I don't care don't want the phone for that may freeze it lol

Creepy... Perhaps it will delete your contacts in anger if you stop looking at it when it talks with you.

yes voice apps are useless if they dont understand your own language. i use my phone in english so phone part may not be important but cant have my all frinds have english names to start a voice call
I'm on the road a lot for work, and listen a LOT of music. Driving and scrolling through tracks can be a bit of a hazard sometimes, so I'm really hoping I can just tell my phone to play a track or album and it does it.
That alone would be a selling point for me.

Yes, I want this too...
even if it doesn't cone built into the phone, shouldn't we be able to find a mod for it?

if there is going to be a gps reminder thingy ill be extremely happy. nothing like pulling into walmart and having your phone remind you to get the toilet paper you have desperately been needing for a couple days. it can be quite the cleansing experience.
i am also wondering if they are going to throw in the sheep reference towards apple users. i know its petty, but if i could get the phone to make fun of some of the tree huggers that hang out in starbucks... i might get a laugh and it would make my purchase of the phone all the more worth it.
If it's extensible enough so other apps can use it them it may be really useful. Google Voice hasn't done this. e.g. 'forward this email to my Tennis group and upload all attachments to Dropbox'. Or 'Play TuneIn channel ABC'. Complex voice commands could really be useful. We know Siri is nothing more than a simple keyword recognition engine so I'm hoping Samsung has done something better.
Agree, until we know what its capabilities are there is no way to make a guess at how useful it might be.
I want to know the real reason of it, why Atrix can not record calls?
is there any hope for the future or it's completely impossible.
any developer who got any achievement? any active development?
I will donate everybody who can do this.

Because it's bloody difficult to have a conversation about this without armchair lawyers proffering terrible advice about the legality of recording calls. /Rant
There have been threads that have included portions of Chinese MIUI Roms that allow recording on the Atrix, and in some cases, the LIB files have been stripped out to test with existing ROMS. I tried these files, but have not been able to make it work, nor do I know of anyone else that has been able to do so on a repeatable basis. I have also heard anecdotally that there are requirements within the kernel that must be met, and none of the commonly used kernels have such features baked in.
Folks have also provided solutions that record the "speakerphone" portion of the conversation, but again, these are suboptimal relative to the capability that it appears some Atrixes have.
Essentially, I would say that there is hope for this functionality ( and I would donate as well), but it will likely require more time and energy than most devs are able to spare. Good luck!
I'm not f***ing sure that anyone here f***ing knows the f***ing reason why the f***ing Atrix doesn't f***ing record any f***ing calls, and you can f***ing bet your f***ing a** that that's f***ing-A right.

you're f**king right, I was so angry at the moment from Motorola.
Hey XDA!! I came here because I know you're quick to deliver the help. I'm not sure if this should go in Q&A or the Development section, and you'll see why in a bit.
A friend of mine (we’ll call him M for ease) recently came to me with a concern. His coworker's ex-boyfriend has been hassling and harassing her using her Android phone. **BEFORE I go any further, YES I have suggested that the proper authorities get contacted.** At first he was allegedly sending texts to MY friend via the girl’s phone. He had some forwarding/spy type app (that’s all I could figure out from some research) on her phone that would allow him to text it, and then those messages would forward to M as if they came from his coworker. I have no idea how he could have done that, and I couldn’t find a lot of apps in the play store that seemed to have similar functions.
But now, he is apparently trying to get the poor girl to install a GPS tracker on her phone (unwittingly, I assume) so he can, well, know where she is. M can’t tell me the name of this app because he’s unsure.
So at this point I’m thinking that we not only have someone who’s being evil, but who is *maybe* making his own apps to stalk and get this girl, and my friend, in trouble at work.
I found a GPS spoofer on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps&hl=en I have offered to help root phones and install this and do whatever is necessary to get this guy off their backs. I can test it all day long since I have a rooted device—my question is, I don’t have a spy app to spoof, nor do I know what exactly I’m trying to spoof, so how do I know this will be helpful?
I’m also considering finding a custom ROM and helping this girl lock her phone down more. Or telling her to call her carrier and change her number. Beyond that, does XDA have any suggestions or advice? I’m not a coder, but I can follow directions to change things if you tell me exactly where to go and what to change (i have dabbled a teensy bit in android source code before breaking my phone >_>)
The girl has a Samsung Dart, I’m currently unsure of the version of Android it’s running, but should find out soon and will edit the post.
Thanks for all the help!
You can format the phone and see if that works. Plus there are many text blocker apps on market.
Hope i helped .

Yes ,I patiently read the entire story! Wipe the phones data !
As far as the text problem you said I don't think there is anything like that which could receive an sms from a number and then forward it to another number. So there are two options either the girl sent the text or the guy semt the text with a spoof number!
And as far as the GPS is concerned, one doesn't need a GPS tracker to know where one is! Just Google maps is enough if the guy has the girls mail in his contacts. Ask her to change the mail id it should be enough!

What I want is a bit complicated. But I'm sure there might be an app which can do it. I've enabled call waiting in my Android. However, I don't wanna know the person on my other end to know I'm talking with someone else. What I want is, the other caller should get the normal ringing tone while I'm already talking to other person. I've seen it in some cheap Samsung phones (2/3/4 years back).
I want that none knows while I'm talking. If I turn off call waiting, the other call will not be able to call me. The call will not go to the ringing process. I want one hear the ringing tone as if I'm talking to nobody. ANy app?
I believe this has nothing to do with your phone or OS, but is rather handled by your operator. Therefore no app would help with this.
Not to mention this is quite a weird request... But to each their own.

My friend & I run the same carrier. He has this feature in his 6 years old Samsung but I don't have it!
OK, my bad then. In that case I don't know what to recommend. Wait for someone else to chime in.
Yeah! I really hope so!
