The weirdest recording Issue!

Hi! I'm using CM10's alpha ROM with Jellybean on the HTC one X.

I've installed the recording patch.

Outgoing calls record fine. However, when I play incoming calls' records it sounds as if the file went into fast forward mode (the length is significantly shorter than the actual call... and the conversation is super fast and sounds screechy and incomprehensible).

Again, the problem happens ONLY with incoming calls.

I've tried two different apps (Callrecorder and Auto Call Recorder) and this happens on both, so it's not an app issue. Tried different recording modes too. Of those that work - same issue.

Weird, I know.. anyone has any idea what might solve this? :eek:

Thanks,

O

Edit

: I've attached an AMR file presenting the problem in one of my calls (Change suffix ZIP to AMR to listen to the file).
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
The patch was made for ICS not Jelly Bean, it is great news that it sort of works as this gives hope that it is possible with some editing of the current patch.

Your issue has not been reported with any ICS roms so I can only suggest reverting back to ICS rom and requesting in the appropriate forum for a developer to help with an updated patch suitable for Jelly Bean.

I don't think anyone will be keen to work on a patch until the official Jelly Bean rom is out, but I guess it's worth an ask.

Thanks for the feedback

I've selected skalvek call recorder to not record when Bluetooth headset used but it still records! (with no sound)

Just a pain having to delete the blank file

I've yet to check for my other issue where calls are dropped which was the reason for disabling recording when via bt as disabling that should have solved that but we'll see
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Weird, are you sure all the settings are correct? Probably just be a bug with the patch.

[HTC One X] owolfson:
Thanks, Oliver!

I'm just glad it's probably related to JB and not something device-specific. Call recording is important for me but I'll wait for an official patch for JB, then.
[HTC One X] 09141111:
thanks, this is really helpful and working great on my one x. thanks a lot.
[HTC One X] virus007:
Good Patch

Happy to say that this is currently working using Call recorder Pro Ver. 3.13 - ROM - CyanogenMod Nightly's latest version (JellyBean) 4.1xxxxx

Thanks for the patch, needed this as stupid poeple cant remember what they say on the PHONE!!!!
[HTC One X] angusc:
Also confirm that the patch still works on Football's Maximus 4.1 JB ROM.....using Call Recorder free or Pro version.
[HTC One X] kinnkw:
Please how can i flash the original file i backed up.

I really need to know if the process is reversible before i try it out.

Im using a htc one x running Android revolution HD 9.7.2
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
You can always reverse the process by installing another rom or the reinstalling the original rom.

Just be aware that once rooted it will never be fully reversible as your phone will read "unlocked" or "relocked" rather than "locked", this could affect your warranty.

You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rooting and make sure your phones doesn't have any defects first.

Hope this helps

EDIT: Just reread your post, your already rooted. Yes you can reinstall the original file in much the same way you installed the edited file.
[HTC One X] angusc:
As per the OP, before flashing the zip file make a copy of your original file: system/etc/soundimage/Sound_Phone_Original_REC.txt

THen you can flash the zip file mod in RECOVERY. if you need to revert bck you can either overwrite the above fie back in to the same location using Root Explorer or ES File Manager and then change the file Attributes back to RW-,R--,R-- and reboot your phone.

Ofcourse the best method would be to make a NANDROID back up of your ROM BEFORE flashing the mod and then you can simply RESTORE the NANDROID if you want to revert back.

But to be honest I cant see why you would want to revert back anyway.......if you no longer want to record calls you just disable the recording app or uninstall it.
[HTC One X] AsksPer:
Excellent Thread!

Excellent Thread! Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I have just a couple of more problems, and I wonder whether you are able to help me out. I'd be so very grateful if you could.

1. How to play an audio clip to the person on the otherside of a phone call. Is there a method to access the in-Call audio stream (either via NDK / Root etc...) and playback an audio clip to the caller.

2. Is there anyway to mute the microphone (so that it won't pick up ambient noise) but yet record the other side of a phone call. I have tried this, but it seems to cut out both UP and DOWN LINK audio when muted.

Could you direct me down the path I should take in order to achieve the above? Is this achievable via the NDK if rooted etc... Any help in this regard would be great.

Thanks and again, great job.

Asks
[HTC One X] SSS Desire:
You didn't encounter sometimes the playback as well as other sounds notifications (calls, SMS, alarm, etc) would play as if in fast forward manner? The only thing that would fix this is by restarting the phone.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
That's true. I have it too.

No need to restart. Just make a phone call to some free number. And hang up before they answer. Might also press the speaker on button and as soon as you hear the first ringing sound hang up.

This would have fixed it.

I hope I helped.

Please tell me what in call recording app are you using. I want to check if the problem is associated to it. Mine is auto call recorder.

Cheers
[HTC One X] SSS Desire:
Thanks for your feedback. Btw I'm using callrecorder v1.2.9 by skvalex
[HTC One X] KRiZ-R:
I don't know if you have read my previous post in an other thread, maybe this is something you could check? Because I don't have those problems anymore. I am using callrecorder v1.2.9 by skvalex and I am on InsertCoin Rom.

I had double speed sound problems, when in call recorder the outgoing - delay before start recording is set to "disabled". Now having it set to 0.1 there is no problem anymore.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
So it is must not be in-call-recorder app related. Thanks.

Does the thing I suggested fix it for you?
[HTC One X] SSS Desire:
I'll try these suggestions later on when it happens again. thanks for the help buddies! :)
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Please, post the result.

I would change for your app if the setting for the 0.1 delay suggested by KRiZ-R works.
[HTC One X] SSS Desire:
for me, originally the setting for outgoing calls delay is set to 0.3sec and for incoming calls is disabled. now i've set the delay for incoming calls for 0.1sec and leave the delay for outgoing calls as it is (still 0.3sec). i'll post if this works.

EDIT: After 12++ hours it fails to work again. now I've changed both the incoming and outgoing calls delay to 0.1sec. I'll again update if this works.

EDIT2: Changing both the incoming and outgoing calls delay to 0.1sec also not resolving the issue. It seem the fast forward playback occurs after phone calls (incoming or outgoing).
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Thank you.

Too bad... I just got an update of auto call recorder and it is doing it every time now. I can't fix it as normal when I dial again, press the speaker and hang up when I hear ringing.

Only reboot fixes it.

So it is both auto call recorder and callrecorder v1.2.9 that have this.

Dunno what else to do to help it.

Any ideas from anybody?
[HTC One X] SSS Desire:
the last thing that i did is change the outgoing call delay to "0.1sec" and incoming call delay to "disabled". and yes, the fast forward thingy still occurred but i immediately did the dial up, speaker on and hang up after ringing tone and it went back to normal. and this stays on until today (already 2 days now) and no more fast forward sound...weird...
[HTC One X] admirall:
The fastforward issue happens with the new version of Call recorder (Appstar), but I successfully recovered previous version from my backup. With this older version it works fine. You can download it here:

http://www.ulozto.sk/xaVmecf/com-appstar-callrecorder-1-apk
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Yes, I am using this one and I also recovered the old version from a backup to use instead of the new one.

Still this also happens with the old version of this app, but very rare.
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
I can confirm that "Onepagebook's call recording patch" works with ARHD v15 (Jelly Bean).

But when updating my recording program, Auto Call Recorder Pro (Appstar Solutions), from v3.06 to 3.21, I've got a problem; all the recorded calls were played way too fast! (The double sound speed problem... Like the cartoon Chip & Dale...) I tried all settings but that didn't fix it.

Since recording became useless I reverted back to v3.06 that works for me (HTC One X with Jelly Bean rom).
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Exactly. The latest version of Auto Call Recorder Pro by Appstar that I found is working for me is v 3.14

I wrote several times to Appstar, but there is no reply.
[HTC One X] hugomc92:
Thanks! I was looking for it!! Is it good sound quality?
[HTC One X] tlccksww:
Problem on Jelly Bean

ok...

what is the way to fix the speeding sound?

ARHD 14....

thank you!
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
Don't use the latest version of Auto Call Recorder...
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
hey guys!! i hv a lil problem... i am on ARHD 15 and I have installed the patch.. but i am facing a strange issue.. Incoming calls are getting recorded but outgoing calls are not being recorded.. i tried everything... reinstalling the patch & CallRecorder isnt helping either.. I had no problems as such when i was on ARHD 9.7.0. can anyone help?
[HTC One X] waqasbutt:


I tried auto call recorder v 3.14 but the recordedc call file shows size of 0bytes and doesn't play..... What the hell is wrong wid my phone.... It's not rooted ad has the stock Rom... Can that be a problem?
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
Yes. Read the first post. The call recording patch only works on a unlocked and rooted phone.
[HTC One X] admirall:
With ARHD 17 the latest version of Auto Call Recorder is working fine so far. I tried only one call, but it seems to be good.
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
Thank you. I can confirm this!

I'm also on ARHD v17 with the "One-X two ways recording" patch from Onepagebook and Auto Call Recorder (Pro v3.21). It works again!
[HTC One X] tiho5:
I can also confirm. Works again. :thumbup:

So it's not the patch and it's not the in-call recording app that were causing these fast forward sounds. It must be something with the audio drivers...
[HTC One X] admirall:
I updated Call recorder to 3.22 directly. I do not know about 3.21. Maybe 3.21 was causing the problem, or older ROM. I do not know. But now it is OK. And it works also with OTA JB rooted phones. I can confirm that.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
I'm on Call recorder 3.22. Works fine. I think that the new base 3.14.401.27 fixed this. Because on the previous bases I tried each version of Call recorder and none of these versions higher than v3.14 was OK.

Thank you again for bringing it up! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] tlccksww:
what about CallRecorder?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za3ZhbGV4LmNhbGxyZWNvcmRlciJd

stopped using it for this reason.

is there any way to go back and fix the problem?

thanks!
[HTC One X] Lomcovaks:
Many Thanks for the Tutorial.....

Just want to say a big thank you for the noobs' tutorial, saved me quite some time in setting up.

Tried Skvalex's call recorder trial on my HTC One X and it worked a dream with your settings. As soon as the trial expired I bought the app in the marketplace.

You just know it makes sense to record your calls for personal use with the way so many companies promise the earth or agree to something and then totally deny the conversation a couple of months later when the bill is higher than anticipated and they suddenly 'don't have any recording of the conversation' - well from now on they needn't worry because I do have a copy! :victory:
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Thanks.

It's either record all your calls or ask the companies to send everything agreed over the phone in writing.

A recorded call saved me around £270 once, I used the recording to prove what I was told over the phone, after hearing the call a ceo at talk talk refunded my money and my bill reduced back down to £30.

Talktalk had denied telling me I had unlimited international calls and the customer services even accused me of lying, it felt like I was being interrogated by them and they wrongly accused my recording of being illegal. I'm glad the chief executive's office where more helpful, especially after hearing my recording :)
[HTC One X] vipower1:
Hi

any idea about call recording with htc one s ?
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Try Call Recorder by Clever Mobile from the Play Store. From what I read on other forum should work with either stock or CM rom.

AppStar call recorder and Play Store

Using Auto Call Recorder 3.32 from Appstar Solutions.

It is working OK.

There is an update of this app from Dec 30, 2012 (to ver3.4) but the play store tells me that "My device is not compatible with this version"

I am on ARHD 18. and all the rest of my apps are showing in the Play Store as normal.

Doses anybody else have this issue?

Seems strange that Appstar Solutions didn't support the HOX in their latest version.

I changed the [FONT=&quot]ro.product.model to "HTC One X" in buld.prop, rebooted in CWM, cleaned cache and dalvik cache and this had no effect. And again - all [/FONT]the rest of my apps are showing in the Play Store as normal.
[HTC One X] admirall:
Same problem here...
[HTC One X] tiho5:
I wrote to Appstar.

I am thinking they may have forgotten to add/list our device as one of the compatible.

No answer.
[HTC One X] admirall:
My friend with official JB OTA on root has the same problem. I wrote to Appstar as well. Please keep us informed.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Thank you. So it must be them(appstar), not us having a weird Play Store problem.

I'll post here as soon as I have any information.:)
[HTC One X] niblettr:
I can't find it on google play auto call recorder is this the same issue as listed in previous posts?
[HTC One X] admirall:
You will not find it until it is set as compatible. Try use your PC, not phone. Or click here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder

When you edit build.prop this way:

ro.product.model=HTC One X

ro.product.name=HTC One X

ro.product.device=HTC One X

after restart you will be able update Auto Call Recorder! Now I am on version 3.4 and it is working well.

Editing just ro.product.model is not enough.

i confirm its work on xperia tx jb like angel.on htc one x jb.excelent on ARHD but confusing on viperx.some time it recored well but less efficiency on the and. revolution.still installing it>all recordings made by the recrder app. on all roms.
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Just applied it to my HOX and will see how it works. One question: will I have to flash the "Sound_Phone_Original_REC.zip" every time I flash a new kernel or change rom?
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Only when you flash a new ROM you'll have to relish it again. When flashing new kernel with modules, the patch is not affected. :)
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
I just listened to the recording of my call and it's toooo fast, like 5 times faster than it should be. Why?
[HTC One X] tiho5:
It's a known bug. Not only that but all your system sounds should be like in fast forward speed.

Try to make another call. Once it's dialing, hang up. Then check if sounds are OK again.

If this doesn't help, reboot.

I'm using auto call recorder by app star solutions. This doesn't happen that often and it's fixed by the "make a call and hang up" procedure quickly when it happens. So you might consider changeing your in call recorder app to improve this.
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Thanks. The "hang up" procedure works fine, but I had two calls and every time I got this bug (call recorder by skvalex). I think I will try with your app. :)

Edit: unfortunately - not for HTC One X.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
It is for for HTC one x. Many ofus use it. ;)

Go to build.prop and edit it this way:

ro.product.model=HTC One X (rename from EndeavorU to HTC One X)

ro.product.name=HTC One X (rename from EndeavorU to HTC One X)

ro.product.device=HTC One X (rename from EndeavorU to HTC One X)

After this reboot and you will be able install it.

Make a backup of build.prop first just to be safe.
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Where can I find this build.prop (path?)
[HTC One X] tiho5:
On the bottom of System folder. Edit carefully:)

Edit: this will help if other apps are also not showing correctly in the PlayStore
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
When I edit the file with es file explorer I cannot save it afterwards...
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Copy it to the SD card. Make backup. Edit it with a text editor.

AFAIK you're on viper. In venom tweaks go to advanced and tick "mount system as rw"

Then copy the edited file to system.

hi

i just flashed it again in my HOX i have viperx 3.6 and stock kernel.i recorded from the stock recorder.the distant voice was sort weak but could be heared.i found that the voice realy better when recorded by small application recorder.dont know y.it was flashed smoothly and the quality is deffinatly better than nothing.

if i helped in this please press thnx

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

hi

i had this bug too .on my HOX with viperx.yes all the system affected(chipmunks voice) but as i got it twice it resolved with single reboot.all is fine now as i still have the patch and still active.

press thnx if i ever helped you

thnx
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
As I was playing with my hox and build.prop file I had to reflash the full rom viperx 3.6.0. Now call recording works fine with call recorder by skvalex :)
[HTC One X] bldysurgeon:
how you made it.im on the same rom but still not 100% perfect.what you did in addition to flashing the patch
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Nothing special. I just applied the recording patch. I am using the Call Recorder by skvalex. In settings go to recording and select source - recording method - standard app. That worked for me flawlessly
[HTC One X] bldysurgeon:
did the application required installation of alsa mixer.i installed it befor and installed alsa .tried all way and failed to record anything.i just reinstalled it and will try .hope it work as u did.

thnx man
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
Yes, it required the alsa mixer, but then you have to change in settings to standard app, just like I wrote in my previous post.

What kernel are you on? I had problems with xm#296. Now I am on stock and it works just fine.
[HTC One X] rkuijpers:
Strange, for me it works out of the box every time, after flashing the patch on viperX with XM and Kozmik kernel, using Skvalex call recorder. No speeding sounds, and no alsa mixer either :D
[HTC One X] bartdeli:
II am not saying it is kernel related. I messed up my phone trying to force it to two-way recording so is very difficult to say what really happened.

I had to make a full wipe and start all over again. It worked with stock kernel and settings as mentioned above. After the long figtht I didn't want to try again with another kernel (at least for now) :)
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Good to hear you've got it working.

It will also work with other kernels. No worry about that :)
[HTC One X] rkuijpers:
Posted this message with logcat a few days ago in viperX dev thread, reporting a problem I kept having with ViperX.

Looks like the patch for call recording IS the culprit indeed! After full wipe and flashing last ViperX without the patch this time, problem is gone for now :D

This was the post:

Edit: same problem for me happening again, without the patch being flashed! :o

So it probably doesn't have anything do to with this patch, my apologies! :D
[HTC One X] MezitiGuY:
thanks for this!
[HTC One X] teteu86:
Hi guys.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Interestingly, I had my HTC One X recording calls and out of the blue it wasn't any more. But now with this soundimage folder thing, everything's right.

Would you say anything about the difference between Auto Call Recorder and CallRecorder?

I am using AndroRec and it works just fine.

Only speaker calls are very low at my side. The person's voice on the side is very clear, though.
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
I would just say, try a few call recorders and see which you prefer. Try different settings too. This is why I prefer call recorder by skvalex, loads of options, I bought it for half the current price back when I had my HTC desire and I've used it on all my phones, it must be the most versatile recording app out there. But it is expensive and you can get cheaper apps to do the samething. Personally I'd invest in skvalex's app I think its the best, but try the free ones, if your happy stick with them, if your not happy give Skvalex's app ago, Skvalex is very active here and personally answers questions and offers support.

This is usually a sign of flashing a wrong kernel (boot.img).

Are you on stock rom or custom.

Did you just flash the call recording patch or was doing the whole unlocking bootloader procedure?

Found out myself, no need to falsh this on One XL, just install the call recorder app and works like charm
