Hello,

A strange thing which I have noticed just after some usage.

No mather what recording format I choose I am always getting amr files with different extention e.g. a .wav or a .aac file but still when I use media info or other capable tool on the file after transfering it to pc it always shows Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) as the codec.

I would prefer wav files over amr if that is possible. Can I do something?

I have got SGS2 GTI9100 and I am on CM10 Android 4.1.1 Jelly bean 20120805 codeworks experimental.

I noticed the following line "Unable to to create media player", have you deleted any app from /system/app ?

It seems that your MediaPlayer has some errors

Which device are you using ? And which system ?

I am using galaxy nexus with 4.1.1 system, and from the trace file, it is using alsa to play the sound.

Maybe you can install alsamixer and have a try.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dneto:
Hi mate,

Media Player is on place. Totally Stock! - This error not ocurring on old recording (when Call Recored was working). This error just ocurring on recent recorded. Already try move to desktop and play wav with WMP, without sucesss too.

Galaxy Nexus - Stock JB - (From factory image) plus Busybox and Root Method.

Alsamixer is installed. Because the problem to install it, i install and apply permissions manually.

Skvalex, where is you mate?

PS.: Sorry my badly english!

Is Android decoder for wav disabled in advanced preferences of CallRecorder?

Hi mate.

Is selected (enabled).

Old recordings are playing well. Only new recordings doesn't play.

Try to disable it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] michaelmotes:
It works for me, I am ready to buy it. I have root, don't know if that matters.

I installed Callrecorder, it recommened alsa, I installed alsa, it worked.

Never messed with any permissions.

Works great.

Galaxy nexus

Euroskank rom 4.1.1 jelly bean.

I was always getting 1-2 FC's when doing a call at the beginning.

I fixed permissions, etc, etc...

I kept messing with it. I left in call control checked for incoming and outgoing with ALSA installed and selected, and the FC's went away.

Un-ticked in-call control, and the FC's returned.

So that was the culprit for me. Maybe it may help someone else, and help the creator fix that bug, and earn me a free license for finding that bug?? :)

Hi mate,

It's work. Now CallRecorder is working and playing.

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pvdeejay:
I have installed alsa and switched call recorder to use it but with this config I was getting no recordings. So it appears with SGS2 alsa will not work.

This is with standard android api and modified exinos lib automagically copied to their place. I would really like to get improved quality recordings than amr codec can provide so if there is something I can do please help.

Greetings

Does anybody have a good advice on well working settings for HTC One m9?

I have a working Call Recorder, but I hear a lot of noises and cracking sounds when the other party is speaking.

My ROM (Viper) has a sound boost mod, which may be the culprit, but I'm not sure, as everything else is working fine.

Hi [MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION]

Todays update (v2.0.8) crash on my Nexus 5 with Android M dev. preview 2

Version < 2.0.8 was OK

EDIT:

deleted app data and now is working again...

Thanks for great app ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Minotaur:
Working well on my Galaxy S5 G900FD- enough for me to have bought the app a couple of days ago.

Couple of things though:

When recordings are uploaded to the cloud, the icon remains in the notification area after all the tasks are completed. I have to go in to the tasks section before this icon will go away.

Also:

A feature I'd like to see is the ability to automatically discard recordings below a certain duration - Sometimes if I call someone and get their voicemail I just hang up, so I end up with 2 or 3-second calls in the recording log. It'd be nice if these could be automatically scrapped, perhaps with separate options for short inbound and outbound calls?

Thanks.

--EDIT-- I see the discard short recording feature is planned, according to the FAQ. Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] provolinoo:

Works on Rooted Coolpad Arise ($20 phone) too. However i have "vital player" installed when making outgoing call i see error Unfortunately vplayer has stopped". However it records fine, not sure why call recorder starts player when you make start outgoing call?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vodoomoth:
Just to know, how much would you be willing to pay? Aside from 0, of course. I hope this is a joke for this app is unique and it's well worth the price of a movie ticket. In a single payment! Come on!

It's not necessarily CR starting the player, it might be due to the system or to the other app. For instance on my phone, each time (since system update to Lollipop) I received a call or made one, I had a system notification that Subway Surfers (a game) had crashed... What does a game have to do with making calls (whether with CR or not)? Samsung recently published an update for the S4 and since then, I've never seen the notification again. None of the two apps involved had been updated so I guess none of them is the actual culprit.

[MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION]: There's been a recent update to CallRecorder and when I wanted to get that update, I've noticed that the app requires a new permission, of which I didn't see the purpose and I didn't update. When I went to see the contents of the update, the only thing I saw was "bug fixes". This leads me to asking you to give more details about the "bug fixes". To me, "bug fixes" is just the same as not saying what the update contains. But information as to what the update changes for the user is more valuable. As to me, I'm waiting for a "Refresh list" command like in the old versions; otherwise, the app is perfect for all my use cases. Thanks.

Bug Report on Xperia Z3 relevant ROMs

Recently I found that when using Call Recorder on my Xperia Z3 (Android 5.0.2), with Answering Machine function on,

the recording process of Call Recorder will hinder the functioning of Answering Machine as shown in the pictures.

Once I switched off Call Recorder, the Answering Machine function returned to normal.

I reckon the problem could be tackled if Call Recorder can be made no longer detecting the automatic Answering Machine as the begin of a call, thus delaying the start of recording from Call Recorder.

Thanks so much.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
The new permission is needed for Google Drive which was added in 2.0.8. But along with Google Drive support the app has been started crashing on some devices, so the next releases (2.0.8.1, 2.0.8.2 and 2.0.8.3) fixed the crashes.

Flagship Elephone P7000 works well

The new (ish) flagship phone for Elephone, the "Pioneer" P7000 works well with CallRecorder "out of the box", for the latest Play Store version 2.0.8.3. Just choose "Elephone P6000" from the "Recording -> Device" menu. My P7000 has the latest Elephone take on Andoid 5.0 Lollipop, build 20150629.

Both sides of the conversation recorded clearly and at the same volume, giving an almost identical experience whether the built-in mic and speakers are used, or a Blue-tooth headset (for my testing a "Bluedio I4" ).

I was concerned that the MediaTek SOC inside the P7000 would not be supported but I need not have been ... as soon as I selected "Elephone P6000" from the devices list, it worked perfectly. :)

NICE work, skvalex!

Could you add OneDrive support?

We moved to OneDrive and the sync is the only reason we keep it installed.

(No idea how hard is it to implement OneDrive upload, the api looks trivial on the MSDN site. Looks, but implementaton can be tough.)

It would be great. Thank you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] idoit:
[MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION] and others: So I gather the reason why for VoIP apps 2-way call recording is not possible is that no two apps can access microphone at same time (apps being the VoIP app you're talking on, and the call recording app). Now what makes Phone.APK different from the VoIP app, say WhatsApp? By going down to kernel can this limitation be resolved?

Issue for bluetooth call recording

Hi Skvalex,

I am using the trial version and facing some issue during bluetooth call recording, i can record my friend clear voice but from my side, the voice recording like broken and intermittent .

Can you do help me solve this issue? i tried almost all the mode, only the standard API or CAF can work, but both same issue. Recording format maintain as AMR.. Should i change the Audio source when BT connected? That's the only record method i did not test..

Definitely will pay for it once this issue solve.

So that means the issue is software, not hardware? I thought there was distortion on LG G3 due to 810 processor?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] madcapfrog:
Since there is no microsd support, wich storage should we choose for Nexus 5? Sdcard0, legacy/legacy or legacy/0?

Sometimes, after recording a call, its impossible to delete it via in app menu, its shows like deleted but record remains till manuel delete with a file explorer.

If you change save location in app, it seems like working one or two times and same error starts again.

Tnx for your support.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] provolinoo:
I think a 2.99/3.99 would be a fair price.

This is just my suggestion based on the average price of call recorder apps on the Play Store (they starts from 1.99 to 4.99, not considering the free ones).

I identified other apps that work fine and record my calls flawlessly but I'd like skvalex's one (interface, drive support, etc.) and I'd like to buy his if I could choose to support his work.

The problem is not about the 10 Euros full price itself, the app works fine and maybe it's worth them all, it's just that its current price is out of range for this kind of apps so it's right to find and buy alternative if an app is too expensive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Solace50:
Has anyone tried using this in conjunction with cm12 and the call recording xposed module? Curious to see if CM12 has the capability to record calls and prob would switch over since that was the only deterring factor.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikeoswego:
On my MotoX, the CM12 call recording never worked right with the xposed module enabling it. Wihtout the xposed module, the skavalex call recorder worked perfectly just like with the rooted stock from.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Solace50:
thx i recall seeing native support in cm builds at some point as well, maybe the module is no longer needed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikeoswego:
CM12 supports call recording but it is disabled for legal reasons in the US and other countries. All the xsposed module does is enable the built in feature of CM12 (which didn't work right in my case.) So you don't need that xposed module to use the Skavalex call recorder.

Dear [MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION]: I have submitted the logs from the app after the crash+reboot. I have included a description, and every info I had.

The phone is the HTC M7 I posted about earlier, now running the latest HTC 4.4.2 update for the M7.

It's a bit more stable than the L update was, but it still crashes and requires a full restart to fix itself

(It sometimes happen by itself, sometimes you have to personally do a reboot.)

Sadly I just could not launch the app right after the crash/freeze happens.

The screen is black, and the phone is not responsive (like all cores are on 100%).

Could you check? Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] I900-Nutzer:
Hi!

Just to be sure: auto-converting files (wav to amr) has gone? Converting has to be done manual?

Thx!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MP1_:
I'm missing this function too - badly. In asked for it a while ago - still hoping it will be enabled some day.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
Since the app supports converting on the fly for all recording methods, converting after a call isn't needed anymore. Or what a use case for this feature?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] I900-Nutzer:
Hi skvalex!

Thx for your reply. On my side there is no "use case" currently, CR is working simply perfect. I use .AMR for recording. But i have one problem which i try to track down.

I use MX Player Pro to play the records an i have the problem that every file is played twice. It must have something to do how CR saves the records. Example: if i record in AMR file gets played twice. If i record in WAV file gets played twice. If i record in MP3 file gets played twice. When i record in WAV, convert it in AMR in a PC and then play it back via MX Player Pro it only gets played once. I do not know how to describe it better :(

Perhaps anyone else using MX Player Pro and have the same Issues?

Another thing that i want to know: why is the contact an the phonenumber stored at the end of the file? Technical Background?

Thx!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skvalex:
The app needs to store such data somewhere. Some unknown data at the end of the file doesn't break playback as if it were at the start of the file.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vodoomoth:
So basically, because there are other apps (or most of the other apps) that intend to provide the same service in a certain price range, and which according to you work just as flawlessly, this one should too? Whether the supplemental/additional service provided by this one is worth the additional price, it's yours to decide.

Why can't you? We all have when we buy things either to shed more coins or to settle for less than what we thought was ideal. No big deal.

Anyway, I don't get your reasoning. But maybe it's because I myself am a software developer and I'm fed up with people thinking software costs nothing to make? Cheers mate.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rightjb:
The timing of this is quite interesting. I had put on my "todo" list early this week to try and find the paypal link for skvalex to actually pay for CallRecorder AGAIN since it is so far above and beyond any other call recording product out there. I use it nearly daily and honestly have not purchased phones that had not yet been rooted because of this app alone.

skvalex, I can't find your paypal link. Please provide ASAP so I can counter the sentiment of this poster in a substantial way.

Tmo S5 here. Since the latest update I can't listen to recordings through the phone speaker. Works fine through the main speaker. Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Minotaur:
Same here actually. Straight S5. Can long-press play (while playback is paused) and it says it's switched to the phone speaker, but switches back to main speaker as soon as I tap play to resume. Long-pressing pause (to switch during playback) does nothing except elicit a small vibrate from the phone.

Not sure whether it's supposed to do that as I have only ever listened to recordings out of the main speaker, but I can confirm cali310's issue.

Unfortunately I don not know since which version, but I don't have in call recording control button when my phone is locked. In this case I have to answer the call, then unlock the phone. After this I can see the control button on my home screen.

If the phone is unlocked when I get the call, there is no problem at all.

Hello

Anyone got good recordings on the Xperia z3+ (E6553)?

i get distorsion with default settings

regards Roger
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] a_fitz:
Have a T-Mobile LG G4. Calls are recorded, but it records the person I'm talking to at extreme volume levels. If the person I'm talking to is speaking with a calm relaxed tone the recording comes out perfect. But the second someone start raising their voice (precisely when I really need the recording to be good) the audio becomes completely distorted. Though this also sometimes happens when the person is talking completely normally.

Is there any specific phone that works well recording without root. Being able to record calls is extremely important, and the call distortion has me especially upset as I talked to an upset customer yesterday who admitted on the phone that all the services were provided but refused to pay because we didn't start exactly on time. When I went to check the recording it was distorted beyond belief. I don't care about any other phone feature, and I'm willing to drop hundreds of dollars right now if someone can point me in the direction of a phone that just works with recording.

edit: Or at the very least an up to date list of devices that provide clear quality recordings since the list in OP's post is out of date. For instance, my phone technically *does* record calls, so it technically does work. However it works very poorly. I understand it's a hardware issue and that there are limits as to what can be done. That's why I'm ready to just purchase hardware that will actually work.

Are you using CAF mode? If so, have you tried lowering the overall recording volume level in the CAF mode settings? Or there may be settings n the other modes, I don't use them so don't know. Maybe there is a happy medium where your side can still be heard without the other side being too loud.
