I'm thinking that when TMobile pushes Pie / OneUI to my snapdragon Note 9, I'll need to move on from Samsung to keep call recording.

Anyone have a suggestion for a "similar" rootable phone that'll work well on T-Mobile? I'd love something unlocked and rootable with 600MHz support, but that may be impossible since I believe TMobile is the only worldwide carrier to use that frequency.

Mate 20? Xiaomi something? LG?

Thought and ideas greatly appreciated.

[MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION], thanks for working so hard to keep supporting a function so important to so many of us.

Seems like OnePlus 6T is the best choice for you. It can be easily rooted (compared to other phones from the list) and call recording might be unlocked even without root.

I just replaced my Moto X4's Amazon Prime version (non-rootable) with the Moto X4 64gb Android One Version so that I can root if I get forced to Pie .

I bought two from a local Best Buy for $200 each, but they are also on sale at Amazon for the same price.

I confirmed at the motorola web site that they are rootable (I got the bootloader unlock codes but haven't yet applied them because I'm currently keeping them on 8.1 for now)

I am using both on T-Mobile, but I had used the ones I replaced on Google Fi.

I bought the Amazon Prime version to replace Samsung 7 (I have used samsungs since the Skyrocket). They were just as good as the Samsung 7, although of course the X4's don't have the samsung specific programs.

If I was not worried about being forced to upgrade to Pie, I would have just kept using the Amazon Prime versions, but because the use of Call Recorder is important to my work I went with the rootable Android One version in case I get forced to upgrade to Pie.

i've noticed that if i choose to upload calls to cloud with the option to delete them once uploaded from the phone > they disappear from the app

but in the cloud files are not organized and easy to search like the app

the more logical approach is to keep the details of the calls organized on the app once uploaded to cloud even if deleted from phone with a small indication that this record is cloud only .. and retrive it from cloud when needed

is such a feature possible ? [MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION]

After 2 days of screwdropping I managed to root and now the voice of the interlocutor can not hear it. Why? Do I have to change any settings? Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
You rooted device or changed CSC code? If rooted, then install Magisk module. "call recorder - skvalex", if changed region, then setup system recorder method
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
That feature is hard to implement and I'm not going to work on it in the nearest future.

Any idea if the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T supports call recording or is rootable... Or is it best to get the phone direct from OnePlus?

I have the Jump upgrade option with TMobile that I'd like to use but if the phone from T-Mobile doesn't support call recording or root but the direct from OnePlus does then I'll go the direct route.

Of course, preference is to not root so I can use Google Pay, but call recording is way more important than Google pay
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
You better ask it on OnePlus 6T forums: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t

As far as I know, Magisk allows to have root and Google Pay together

Hi, in our country(Taiwan) samsung note 8 (SM-N950F) just updated to pie, so we could't make this call recording app working unless changing CSC code or root, is that right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
If you mean by "working" - to record both sides, then yes. As the app still working, but records from the microphone

Yes, changing CSC code or root will make your phone record both sides again. Note that changing CSC code doesn't void your warranty as root does.

I rooted one of the new moto x4's (android version) using 8.1.

I followed the directions at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-root-moto-x4-install-twrp-t3806460

All went well. I now have root with Magisk Manager installed.

I reinstalled all my apps, including the existing Call Recorder Unlocked version from the play store.

I then froze the Motorola Update Service to stop the constant update to Pie notices.

If I stay on android 8.1, should I still download and install the apk for call recorder, and if so what is the url for downloading it? and how do I install it, just open it with a file browser?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
Install it via Magisk Manager > Downloads > Call Recorder - SKVALEX

Samsung Update broke call recorder

I've got a Samsung S9+ phone. I just received an update to firmware version G965WVLU3CSAA (Android 9 with Samsung OneUI).

Ever since the upgrade, the app no longer records the remote end of the conversation. I can hear myself but not the remote end.

My application configuration is as follows:

Device: Qualcomm SDMxxx

Recording method: Standard API

Standard API, Audio Source: Voice call uplink + downlink

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gili

Android Pi blocks third party call recorders. You either need to root, or change your CSC to a region that enables the built in Samsung dialer's call recorder. If you do the latter, you can configure call recorder to cloud sync the recordings that the Samsung software makes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cowwoc:
Hi Adam,

1. Do we know which CSC regions enable Samsung's dialer's call recorder?

2. I'm speaking with Samsung now and they seem to be under the impression that their call recorder functionality isn't even out yet (will be out in a later update).

3. Are you saying I should be able to change my CSC without rooting the phone? If so, how?

4. How does one configure CallRecorder to sync the recordings that Samsung's software makes? I mean, where do I find this functionality in the settings?

Thank you,

Gili
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
1. There's a list of regions on the help page: https://skvalex.org/help/system-recorder (but these are for exynos only, if you have snapdragon, then you can't get built-in call recorder for now).

2. Did they confirm that they'll allow call recording in the next update for your region? What's your region? If it's true, it's great news.

3. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plu...change-s9-s9-csc-model-csc-t3870836?nocache=1

4. Set up system recorder method: https://skvalex.org/help/system-recorder
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cowwoc:
I take their promise with a grain of salt. I spent a couple of hours on text chat with their technical support. After the junior agent kept on giving me misleading answers (saying that Samsung doesn't block anything and the call recorder is at fault, in spite of multiple online posts proving otherwise) I asked to speak to a supervisor. The latter confirmed that Samsung intentionally blocks call blocking but claimed that if it's legal in my area it would be unlocked by the next update. I provided proof that call recording is legal in my region (Canada). He took down my personal details and said that a member of his team would contact me within 72 hours.

That's where we are now. If I don't receive satisfactory response from them within the allotted time I plan on posting our conversation verbatim for others to pour over. It doesn't sound like Samsung likes the negative PR associated with this issue. If enough customers escalate it through the system I am hopeful they will reverse course.

One thing to note however is that they don't seem to be open to allowing users to run arbitrary call recorders. They expect us to run their software which I'm sure is sub-par. Users who push this issue need to insist that as paying customers with an active warranty we have the right to run whatever call recorder we see fit. What's next? We can only run Samsung Browser and not Chrome?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
1. I don't know a country where call recording of own calls is not legal at all. Maybe, North Korea? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws

2. Seems like Samsung added call recording in Israel after a lawsuit: https://translate.google.ru/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://m.ynet.co.il/Articles/5232194

3. Call Recorder can work together with built-in call recording function via system recorder method, so it's not a big problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adamschuetze:
I'm in Canada also, so I'll be looking forward to hearing what they say. I have exynos 955W so I can't change CSC.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
There's nothing wrong with the logcat. Try to clear app data to reset settings.

I just bought a Oneplus 6T specifically to use with Call Recorder because it was easy to root but now I am confused: only my voice is recorded with the different settings I have tried. As I understood it, that would be a problem on a non-rooted device with Android 9 but root should solve that.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get full duplex recording?

I absolutely respect his work. But I think that I can give a critic as he is not giving it for free. His app is good and it works, especially with root method, but I think that 10 bucks is too much for it. I will absolutely get it if it was cheaper. I repeat that I respect his work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dethknite:
I personally feel that it is underpriced due to the fact that he has supported multiple versions of Android updates with all their complexities as well as all the hardware changes that continue to come out, and would be willing to pay again. As a matter of fact, I am sure if it was easily possible, a nice method would be a $10 cost for the app and $2 inapp purchases for every device you wish to support. I have used this application with at least 5 different phones and over 8+ versions of android. That is a TON of code changes and bug fixes. The dev is one of the TOP devs for support and does an amazing job making call recording possible on platforms that frankly are designed not to allow recording.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pipsname:
Use Google Opinion rewards. This application has been in development for a long time with constant community interaction from the developer who has stayed on top of and pioneered changes needed for call recording. The money is well spent in my opinion.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrjuniork:
This is one of the rare cases, where I wish there was a "thumbs down" button, so everyone can show you within a glimpse how WRONG you are!

Despite the fact that one of the reasons for the "higher" price tag is basically making people think twice before purchasing the app, because it is complex and not sure to be working with individual setups. So despite that, this app just works and has a wonderfully supportive developer that always, no matter how difficult at first, tries to come up with a solution and therefore makes it worth every cent! And pls don't forget that it's 10 euros for life, or at least as long as Alex wants to pursue this extremly useful project (it started with Android 2, so go figure..)! I don't know how often certain recordings saved my ass!

How often do we pay 1 or 2 euros (bucks) for completely unnecessary crap? So coming here and starting a conversation about a small amount for tons of hours of coding and support ist just freaking incoherent with basic common sense..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cswroe:
For what you are getting, the price is a steal.

These type of posts are asinine and are entirely without benefit to the community.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aladin6:
An app that worth this price tag is an app that it's alone in the market, that gave something special for our device, that it's unique. However, there is some couple of apps that completely work with better UI and features, and they are cheaper or free (ACR, Total Recall, Cube Call Recorder...). My intention was not to disrespect the developer, in contrary, I gave him my point of view to encourage people to get his app. By the way, not everyone can EASILY afford 10€,there is students, there is some persons that they're converting € or $ to their currency... Especially that, as I said, there is a competition.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Troy1288:
As someone with a locked Sprint 9+ who can't root and can't update to Pie because he'll lose call recording, I would gladly pay $20 or more for the app if it would run on Pie.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nogods:
So would I Troy, but the problem is Google's Pie restrictions, not Call Recorder. I have three moto X4's that can't be rooted that I'm keeping on 8.1 just to be able to continue using Call Recorder (and in any event I would wait some time to be sure all the bugs are out of Pie anyway.)

But I got tired of the constant update notices that even autonotification and tasker could not stop on the unrooted phones, so I purchased 3 new moto x4's that can be rooted (they were on sale for $200 each, an absolute bargain for a phone at least as good as my last one I had - a galaxy 7.) I still have them on 8.1 even after rooting because of the Pie bugs, but at least when the time comes to update I will be able to do so and re-root and then keep using Call Recorder. In the meantime I can disable the Motorola update service on the rooted phones. Works for me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Troy1288:
I know the Pie restrictions are all Google's doing and not SKVALEX. I'm sorry if my post made it appear otherwise. It looks like I'll be eating Oreos instead of Pie for a long time.

$10 once off is ridiculously cheap for those of us who paid back in the day, and perhaps we paid even less back then.

$10 now when the future of this app isn't looking good? I can understand why people might not appreciate the value some of us can see.

For me, I ended up flashing my s9 to a CSC that has call recording.

TL;DR I am running official Samsung rom for G965F with the CSC of India (INS). The rom runs fine, the only issues are India promotions in Samsung Pay and that VoLTE/wifi calling don't seem to be present. I am unsure how this will affect things if I go somewhere with very limited reception, but do not have the opportunity to test. Otherwise, everything else works as expected - native call recording works well.

Important!

I'm working on an update for the Play Store version. Do you think a message like on the attached screenshot will be enough for Play Store users to understand that it's not my fault that version of the app downloaded from the Play Store cannot detect phone numbers anymore? It's kinda depressing reading recent reviews of ACR app which already complies with the policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr&showAllReviews=true

What else should I add to the app to decrease amount of 1-star reviews because of this Google Policy? I can't link or provide any means to install the app from other places due the policy as well.

These users who don't understand or even understand, but still rate the app with 1 star because of something I have no control of, this might ruin the app as it lives because of a new license purchases.
