In line call recorders?

Recording 2 way calls is essential for me. This is one of the only that actually does it a line level. They are telling me the reason it won't work is because of the following: Advice?

"OK, that's probably why, many custom ROM's don't have working recorder API's and if they don't,it's not something we can work around"

Killer Mobile | Total Recall Recorder

Anyone else use one that records phone calls well with SlimBean?

Thank you so much.

+Both USB solutions worked great.

+Voice Search is very slow - but that could be because I have 4000 contacts. I have installed Robin and am trying that too. It's just odd that Android 4.2 on Captivate is still slower than my old HD2 with this...

+ i also flashed another but from the reader comments (even on those sites) it seems SB is the only solution.

thanks all.

Assuming on launcher that is ONLY on the Hodo launcher? (and of course, I'm already setup on the other...lol)

thanks much

Most of us still use Captivate just for fun. It's >2.5 years old hardware. If your business depends on mobile communications then you have to look for a better phone. Simple firmware upgrade won't turn your Honda Civic into Ferrari California. Also, you are trying to transport a football team with your Honda Civic. This is why you can't go any faster than 20mph. :cowboy:

I hear you. My business is about 6 weeks away from all new phones (I'll be going to the Razr MaxxHD) but I will still need something functional until then. (My previous LG crashed).

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 2.5][March 22 2013]

I just did a full wipe with no luck, I cant charge past 15%.

Any other suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Each % charge corresponds to a certain battery voltage, but you'll have correct readings in % only after few charge cycles.

Try to check the actual fully charged voltage of this battery, must be close to 4.2V. Many battery meter apps show the actual voltage.

I'm positive the problem is not in the ROM. It's something in communication between your battery controller and phone's charging system.

[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 2.5][March 22 2013]

The only reason I thought it was the ROM is because when I flashed to a completely different ROM (Pac-Rom) and had no battery charging issues but I really can't say I know. XD

I'll grab a battery meter off the market and let you guys know.

Also, if I pop a freshly charged battery in, it reads it fine, percents are fine as it drains as it should, I simply can't charge it through the phone. Its really weird. If it is hardware though, how could it have happened? I haven't dropped it at all recently. I hope I didn't break it. XD

Thank you all again for your help on the matter, I appreciate your time. <3
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
It's something specific with your phone. Flashing did not change nor brake your hardware. Do you have another battery to try?

On my phone I had stock GB 2.3, then CM10, Slim, PAC, Captivating, Salty, then Slim again... never had a battery charging issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Oh I had a small charging issue once.. or so I thought. It was just some rogue processes burning battery faster than the phone could charge. :P

Love 2.5 so far. Just curious, had two random reboot to recovery episodes today. Anyone else experience it? Hopefully it doesn't repeat again.

Oc or voltage modification?
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 2.5][March 22 2013]

Ever since I flashed to 2.5 no. I haven't really messed with any of those setting except to make sure I had what I always had, ROW and Smartass v2.

No rouge processes to my knowledge, I keep a close eye on my wake locks and such but I'll keep on then to be sure. Thing is wouldn't that also effect when I wasn't charging? I'm just not sure anymore.

If anything I'll just wait until the next version of Slim and just keep switching out my batteries. Which on that note, I have my original stock battery, a cheap crap one, and two RavPower batteries (new). I've been using the two RavPower ones, I have an external battery charger so I'm just gonna use it and not charge with my phone.

Thank you again for the help, if there is anything you need me to do or test just ask. I'll gladly do it.

My fully charged battery voltage is 4171.

[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Oh it wasn't on slim bean. It was another ROM. I've never OC or volt modified my phone.

Slow contact loads

Don't you love noobs?

Thanks to you all I am now functional. Captivate with SlimBean is actually quite enjoyable.

I have 4000 contacts on Google contacts. It is taking 3 minutes to even bring up my dialer when I'm on 2G or 3G (not wifi).

Is there anyway to store contacts locally (even if duplicates on GMAIL contacts) to load faster when needed?

Thx
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Android OS stores all your contacts locally. It just synchronizes them with your Google account from time to time.

SREC file

the "SREC_VoiceDialer_Addon_GoogleNow" file on SlimRoms (presume that's the file for all voice things, like Google translate?) I see it's updated, is it still compatible with Slim 4.2.1? (as I'm still on Slim 4.2.1)

Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
contacts are stored locally since you signed in your google account after flashing the rom.

So when it says "no contacts" for about 2 to 3 minutes - its waiting on the update I presume? I'm toying with trying another dialer or finding how to store Google contacts to SIM although it's a pain.

I've never installed this addon. Google Now is fine, Voice Search is working, Translate Voice is working, Text-to-Speach is working, keyboard's voice recognition is working too.

Haven't installed new version yet, but i was having an issue with the notification sounds on 2.5. I have them on a folder on the internal SD and it seems that everytime i reboot the device they get reseted maybe because of the SD card reading time being slow or something like that and they stop functioning so i have to manually assign them again.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

This might just be my device, but I'm also having occasional charging issues. When trying to charge at night, plugging in the wall charger has no effect -- even though the battery chart screen says "charging", it isn't. The battery percentage text I show also stays blue and doesn't change to green.

If I "power off" and then plug in the USB, the basic battery charging animation will start up right away. When the phone is fully restarted, it will charge as expected back to 100%. My phone (like everyone's) is getting old and the USB connector wiggles a bit when plugged in so it might just be a hardware issue, but it is odd that the powered down charging always starts as soon as the USB is plugged in, but not always on the latest Slim version.

I am at 100% now and can disconnect/reconnect the cable and the battery text changes from blue to green right away. When charging at night, my level is usually under 30% and it won't charge. Just odd.

HI, i have CM 10.1 what i have to do, to install this rom? all the steps please
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
That's pretty strange behavior... Have you tried a different battery?

Sounds like you have the same issue I've had in the past. An app (or something) putting a huge drain on your battery to the point it won't charge. A clean install of the ROM should fix it. If it still persists after restoring everything then you should do a factory reset and restore your apps one at a time to see which one(s) is(are) causing the drain.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
slimroms.net

- Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.

- Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

- Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)

What I do is:

- enter CWM

- reset kernel options (i use some custom settings)

- reboot to CWM

- backup system (just in case)

- factory reset (wipe user data/cache/dalvik)

- format /system (not always necessary but won't hurt)

- flash main zip (verify file after download)

- flash gapps (verify file after download)

- reboot

After first boot:

- enter Google account info

- do not restore Google account (takes a long time)

- let the ROM settle a little (if you see a little lag, than Android is still doing something, wait)

- verify Phone status (Settings>About Phone>Status - Network, Phone number, IMEI)

- set default 240dpi (see steps in Settings>Interface>General)

- restore my Titanium Backup user apps + data, accounts, call log + SMS (I never restore system apps/data from previous ROM)

- set all gapps manually (takes me less than 10min)

- adjust Settings (another 2 min)

- put a grin on my face and enjoy a trouble free phone :cool:

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

But I don't see any apps that are quickly draining the battery at those times when I'm trying to charge and it won't. I see your point though that restarting the phone might "clean up" a rogue process allowing the battery to charge. My last two flashes for 2.5 and 3 have been cache/dalvik only - not full wipe.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

Well after flashing back to stock and building my way back up (the first flash to 3 did nothing) I've got it charging when the phone's screen is off, no problem, took a moment while I had stable CM 10 to see how that went, charged fine (screen on and off). (Before any apps outside or what come with cm 10 as I didn't flash gapps as I wasn't gonna stay with it for long). So I think you are right, some app must be draining my battery but, I don't know about which. I'll figure it out. Thank you all again for the help.

Edit: one question though. Thinking back on it I haven't installed anything new recently so is it possible that it was an app I already have that updated to a newer version?

Also on another note while back on stock I wiped my internal memory too. So the phone had next to nothing on it while I flashed up, problems occurred when I hit Slim.

Also one more question, if this is an app causing the problem why would it only do this while charging? Wouldn't it just drain my battery all the time?
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I'm curious, has anyone dirty flashed their way from 2.5?

Also can someone specify what this changes do from the changelog:

-Add Moar shortcuts on keyboard

-Add Long press 'Clear all' to clear cache [Gimme Moar RAM!] (is this a hardware button option? Is that recommended? I thought Android managed the RAM pretty well)

EDIT: I did read the warning below the changelo,g i just wanted to know if someone tried it or at least their opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I never dirty flash a ROM nor update.

You can see keyboard shortcuts by long pressing keys with (...), it's like overflow menus.

"Clear all" button is in Recent Apps (long press Home). On first use (long press) you need to allow root access. You don't have to use it if you don't want to clear cache.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

That's bizarre bro. Why are you waiting to charge the phone until it's nearly dead? It's recommended that you keep the phone charged with monthly battery drains, not daily. When you plug it in, are you still using the phone? When using the charger on your phone is it charging AC or USB? By the way, when I plug my phone in to charge the battery icon remains blue. I think you can customize the color though.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
I guess I got my info wrong then. XD I've always been told to not charge it until its dead or almost dead. Usually no I'm not using it as I plug it in before bed time and just leave it until morning. Usually charging AC. :3 Mine stays blue as well but I have the dotted circle with animation and I use that to know its charging,

Also on that note. After watching it most of the day, it will charge so long as the screen is off, if the screen is on whether I'm using it or not, I get a battery drain instead of charge. Something must be happening when the screen comes on to make it drain I guess. At least I got it pretty much charging now.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

Well shouldn't matter when you charge. However batteries have a x amount of cycles. Cycle being 100% to 0%. It's a good idea to run it down to 0% and full charge it to calibrate the battery ;)

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 3.0][March 29 2013]

Here a screen shot of a graph. I've been at 81 percent for awhile, it was charging fine then it just stopped. It does this across 3 different batteries.

Edit: How much should the System UI be using battery wise? its telling me its using up 41% of my battery and if I remember right that is too high?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I just thought of something else. It might not be one app nor a rogue app. Are you using the stock cable to charge your phone? Skinny little thing that barely lets much electricity through it. Set aside ~20USD and get a Rocketfish cable from BestBuy. They're pretty thick and I don't recall having any charging issues since getting it. My cousin has charging issues with her phone as well using the stock cable but it'll charge fine using my Rocketfish. She doesn't flash custom ROMs (don't even remember what phone she has I think it might be the S2) but she has a lot of apps installed.

I have 4 types of chargers, I have an Apple one, a car/plug in hybrid, the one that came with the Rav Power batteries (an external battery charger with a USA plug in on the side) and my net book. Same results across all of them (for the car/plug in hybrid I tried car and at home.) I've also tried different outlets, ones at work, ones at home, a McDonald's. Nothing changed.
