Please tap "Set Default Settings" in Boldbeast Recorder, then test it. If the phone displays the message "Phone Service is running, Boldbeast Recorder can't record the call" or something similar, or Boldbeast can save recordings but they are totally silent, please:

- Confirm you are using Boldbeast Recorder V12.9 or a newer version.

- In Boldbeast Recorder tap "Call Settings - Manually Record Calls - Hotkey" to open the Accessibility settings screen, enable Boldbeast Call Recorder accessibility service on the screen.

- In Boldbeast Recorder use Record Mode 12 to record calls.

Now how about it?

Hey, on Moto On Zoom (Android 9) call are not recorded anymore. Didn't change anything in Boldbeast settings for months and the issue from the attached screen started occuring yesterday.

What I've tried?

- tested on 12.9 and 13.1 version

- disabling Google Assistant / OK Google

- installing Magisk fix

Nothing from above helped.

Any help'd be appreciated.

If your voice is good but the voice of your friend is weak or silent in recordings, you should root the phone then Boldbeast Recorder can fix it.

Randomly stopped working for me July 1st. Tried reinstalling. Boldness

Boldbeast doesn't seem to detect that it has root, when it does. My last recording was July 1st.

I also noticed that VoIP recorder also stopped working as well.

My experience is the same as rafikowy. Seemingly out the blue

[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I checked your log files.

Before 2020-06-16 it works great. After 2020-06-16 the app can't get root access.

A component of the app is running by Magisk su, and the component communicates with the app by sockets. It seems you changed selinux policies, and that blocked the component to communicate with the app.

Maybe you updated the ROM, maybe you installed some Magisk modules, and one of them wrongly changed selinux policies in your phone. Please check them.

Damn you're good. Don't know what might of changed it, so I downloaded the semode changer apk. It was in enforcing mode. Changing it to permissive allowed the app to work properly

Does Boldobeast actually work on a dual sim phone?

I am not doubting whether Boldobeast works - I know it does - and it's pretty good- I am questioning the dual sim aspect. The question I am asking refers to the fact (it seems) that each Google purchase of the product is tied into a phones IMEI of which dual sim phones have two, one for each sim slot. I found the latter point out recently when I changed my purchase from one dual sim phone to another (and back again) where it appeared I had to pick which IMEI number I was going to use to restore my purchase.

So, what leads me to ask the question above is some complications I have been having abroad with the application dropping from the pro to the free version over a period of several years.

When I am in my home country I use SIM A all the time and have no problem with the licence reverting, but when I go abroad I also use SIM B as well and this is when I have issues of it reverting from the pro to the free version - In the past I was told that this was due to the network dropping but I have reason to believe that using two SIM on one licence is what is causing the issue - Can anyone clarify or correct my suspicions on this topic please?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The license is tied to the MachineID.

On Android 9 and older versions, the MachineID is actually the IMEI, so it remains unchanged. After you restored the license, the app will always be the pro version, no matter you have 1 or 2 IMEIs.

On Android 10 and newer versions, Google no longer allows apps to get the IMEI, so the MachineID is actually a code generated by Boldbeast Recorder itself. If you uninstall / reinstall the app the MachineID will be changed. This is not a problem because:

- if you bought the license from Google Play, Taobao etc, we use the order number to track your purchase order.

- if you bought the license from PayPal, Avangate etc, we use your email box to track your purchase order.

So your license will always be recognized.

And please have a look at this:

Note 20 ultra 5g Bluetooth

Hi, on note 20 ultra 5g, non-rooted exynos , works well, both voice sound loud and clear, but on Bluetooth I can hear only my voice. Free version app downloaded via Google play. I will take the premium version,definitely worth it, but unfortunately 90% of time I use Bluetooth so without Bluetooth recordings it's pretty useless for me . What should I do? Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
There is a bug in the ROM of your phone related to bluetooth recording, no matter what recorder on the market you are using the problem is always there.

Only Samsung can fix it in future ROM updates.
[Android Apps and Games] andrei2112:
So it doesn't work even if I root the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If you don't root the phone, you have to wait for the manufacturer to fix it in future ROM updates.

If you root the phone, and your phone has a Qulcomm chipset inside, Boldbeast Recorder can fix it at once. Please enable the "Change Audio Control" option in the app, then you'll record calls perfectly in two directions via bluetooth. The option is visible only after you root the phone.

If you root the phone, and your phone has a Exynos chipset inside, you still have no solution on the whole market unfortunately.

Hi, I just want to ask a couple off questions.

I'm using a oneplus nord. And have tested the app(no root).

Will I be able to record using a bt headset, both incomming and outgoing audio?

If it's not possible I am willing to root my phone, but I would like to know if quality of the recordings will be the same?

Will I still have to use a key to start the recording after rooting the device?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Will I be able to record using a bt headset, both incomming and outgoing audio?

=> Sorry, I don't know whether it works good or not without root, because I have no feedback from users about this so far.

If it's not possible I am willing to root my phone, but I would like to know if quality of the recordings will be the same?

=> If you root the phone Boldbeast Recorder works well, recordings will be good.

Will I still have to use a key to start the recording after rooting the device?

=> If you want to automatically record calls, yes, you need a license to upgrade to the pro version.

WOW!!!

[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Glad it works.
[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
I have a pixel 4a 5g (unlocked, Google Fi), Nov 2020 update, magsik 21.1 running.

I can get Boldbeast 14.3 to record in two modes:

Alsa Mode (Root), Tune Audio Route Group 1, Change Audio Controls enabled. (allows recording only in wav or mp3 formats) Sound quality of both sides of call are good. Assume method is reliable due to root, but haven't thoroughly tested.

or

Enabled Accessibility for Boldbeast via system settings, Recording Mode 12, Tune Audio route Group 1, Change Audio Controls Enabled. (allows recording in wav, 3gp, mp4, amr, aac, mp3 formats) Sound quality of other caller okay, but my voice is poor; unsure of how reliably this method works.

I've tried a variety of other recording modes and "tune Audio", etc, even installed the CallRecording Fix Module, but none of them work.

I'd hoped to have access to the other recording formats and have both forms of recording available. I'm wondering if there is some way to make that possible of if on Android 11 and the Pixel 4a 5g that the only recording mode that works well and reliably is the "Also Mode (Root)"?

Any other Pixel 4a 5g users who can report their ability to use BoldBeast? BoldBeast developer have any insight to offer into this? Such as, the possibility of allowing other codecs to be used via Alsa Mode (Root)?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If the alsa mode works well, I suggest you use it.

At this moment the alsa mode supports the wav and mp3 formats only.

My boldbeast stopped recording 12/31/2020 . I dont know what happened between then and now. Im still rooted. SElinux is permissive. No system updates. I tried updating Boldbeast to the latest apk. I also removed the recordingfix and reinstalled it. Nothing.

Anyone else having issues since 12/31/2020 ?

EDIT: It appears AlsaMode has stopped working for some reason. Why would that all of a sudden stop working ? Its like it was a ticking time bomb and as soon as year 2021 came around it stops working

Double Edit : I updated magisk and its back to working. Odd.
[Android Apps and Games] soljaofjesus:
Update. Boldbeast stopped working on alsa mode root again. Not sure why it keeps doing that. I've always had it on alsa mode root.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] soljaofjesus:

[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I guess you continued changing something in the app and/or in your phone that made the problem.

Send log files to me if needed, let me check what happened in your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
Boldbeast stopped working. Not sure why. Ran into a mess with phone. Had to factory reset, then used Migrate to restore applications.

Boldbeast was able to record just fine after the reset and migrate restore. Only recording in 30 second increments though. I activated the license to get past the 30 second limit of autocalls.

Alsa Mode worked for me before the factory reset. Worked quite well in fact. I have a Pixel 4a 5g rooted with magisk. Alsa Mode was working after factory reset, factory ROM flash, and using Migrate to restore applications. Boldbeast recorded the calls, just only 30 seconds worth before I activated the license. That was on...Friday. januaray 22nd Boldbeast was 'working'. Didn't try to record after activating though, so unsure 'when' it stopped working or why.

I noticed today after a call that recordings of the call were totally silent. So I started changing setttings trying to figure it out. Nothing was working. I intalled CallRecordingFix Module, still nothing. Been trying one setting after another. Accesibility, change audio controlsk, start input stream, tune audio effect. All in Alsa Mode. Updated Boldbeast to 14.4, tried again. Still not working. Uninstalled Boldbeast, reinstalled, thinking, maybe I just need to get the reinstall to redo the permissions or something. Still no dice.

Right now, for reasons I'm unsure of, Boldbeast won't even record a call to generate a blank file. Before i was at least recording 'silence'; blank audio files.

I'm at a loss as to what occurred and why. I think the only change to my applications would be I installed the Dumpster application. But I would think it strange for it to interfere with call recording.

The only thing I can think of is I updated Magisk Manager to the latest via Stable update channel. So, maybe Magisk manager changed something and BoldBeast having issues with SU rights/root?

Edit:

Managed to get back the silent recordings. Unsure what or why it happened. I uninstalled dumpster and fiddled with setting path to recording folder a few times. But unsure if that's why it changed.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Glad it works now.
[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
I guess I wasn't clear. It's not 'working'. Recordings are blank, have no audio; empty/silent audio file is recorded.

I also noticed earlier today that my Camera app isn't recording audio properly either. Google Recorder records fine though, showing it's not a hardware issue. Also I am able to take calls via speaker phone just fine.

So two apps not working right with audio recording - default Camera app for Pixel 4a 5g and BoldBeast Recorder. Will be looking into this more when I have time today.
[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
Resolved the Camera app not recording with the following:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/5vfhev
From the post:

"The most amazing thing just happened. I contacted Google Support for the pixel, and they helped me fix the problem. In case anyone else has this problem, here's what they had me do.

Settings > Apps > Camera

Permissions > disable Microphone permissions

Force Stop the Camera App

Disable the Camera App

Enable the Camera App

Permissions > enable Microphone permissions

Reboot the phone

Record a video and try it out.

Edit: formatting"

When rebooting my phone I noticed again that a notification of "Boldbeast was granted superuser rights" and recalled I'd seen this occur before upon reboot. So likely there are some issues with Permissions going on. That for some reason MIgrate transfering permissions might've not worked out so well. What would be weird about that is that it seems to work quite well after the initial restore, and it's only later that I seem to be having this issues. I'll try to mess with toggling/resetting permissions for BoldBeast like I did for the Camera app.

Edit 2, 1.26.2021 18:44 CST:

Still haven't gotten it fixed, but I've gotten it to record some calls a few times by fiddling with microphone permissions. Might be a conflict with another application or something. I really don't understand Android and it's permissions so I'm more going by trial and error here. Will continue to try to figure it out and update here.

Edit 3, 1.28.2021 19:01 CST:

I seem to have BoldBeast working again. I reset all the permissions for the microphone. Alsa Mode (root) selected. Tune Audio Effect checked, Change Audio Controls checked. Accesilibity enabled for BoldBeast. CallRecordingFix uninstalled. Seems I had some conflict with permissions going on.

I note that the audio quality isn't ideal and wonder if there are other settings I can tweak. May try messing around with callrecording fix, mode 12 and others, and the Start Input Stream. But for anyone who uses Migrate application to restore or ends up having some change in Boldbeast 'was able to record and now isn't' try reseting all the microphone permissions for all the apps on the phone. Reboot. Then start apps and let them one by one ask for permissions.

I'm entertaining also I might need to do this for other things that permissions are asked for. Do a global total phone reset of app permissions to 'start fresh' might be a good idea for anyone that has a rooted phone and is struggling to get BoldBeast to work.

I did the following:

-uninstalled the boldbeast call recorder fix magisk module via magisk manager.

-reboot phone

-force quite boldbeast, and then uninstall boldbeast. Reboot.

-Install Skvalex call recorder via his website (not playstore), grant permissions and root/superuser.

-Recording method is standard API, voice uplink+downlink.

-make a call. app records. playback recording. Similar poor voice quality on my voice. Both sides record though.

-Open Camera app and recording video. Audio records fine.

-Reboot. Repeat above test. Skvalex records call fine, Camera app records audio fine.

-Uninstall Skvalex, reinstall Boldbeast. Repeat above test but with boldbeast.

-Boldbeast records the call, but audio seems worse than it was prior to uninstalling it and doing tests with skvalex call recorder. The problem with the Camera app has returned.

[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
Yes. The issue with the Camera application seems to have been fixed by this.

The quality of my voice in recordings when using speaker phone is still not very good. Which I think is a boldbeast issue considering in the Camera app and Recording app my voice sounds perfectly fine.

It would be helpful to look into it and improve the quality, but I'm happy with just having the ability to record again. Thank you for fixing this. I'll continue using it and doing a few tests here and there and report if any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Glad the camera problem has been fixed.

You said "quality of my voice in recordings when using speaker phone is not very good", what does it sound like?
[Android Apps and Games] LastQuestion:
I went and did more testing, and after a reboot the microphone quality is somewhat improved. But upon paying closer attention I think part of the issue is that when the other caller speaks and I speak at the same time, or there is some background noise that competes with my voice, the microphone struggles to records things very well. The camera app and Recorder app don't have that problem though, but I can't be sure if it's BoldBeast or the Caller app/how the phone handles speaker phone mode on calls.

I'll continue to pay attention, and if I can narrow down the issue I'll try to record things for comparison and share the recordings to demonstrate the issue. Unsure when/if I'll be able to. Great job on fixing the recording btw. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing my calls record now.
