From user's feedback, the new version of Boldbeast Recorder V7.5 records calls very clearly in two sides for Moto G XT1030, XT1032, XT1039, XT1068, no root needed.

We have no feedback about other Moto G phones like XT1031, XT1033, XT1034, XT1028, XT1008, XT1035, XT1040, XT1042, XT1045, XT937C, XT939G, XT1063, XT1064, XT1069. Do they work well? if not please tell me, I can try to change recording parameters to make them work well without root.

es file explorer

i try to do what you explained to me but i can't ..so i try something .. when i download ..

" Es file explorer " from play store.. make A folder .. And move old calls .. I find option .. "encrypt"

And ask me input password .. when do that .. lock the calls .. And restart my phone .. don't find it in media player .. and when i go to" es file explorer" i can choose decrypt and put my pass can find it and unlock it .. is that good ? .. But i need to move the old calls inside the boldbeast program In the current list. so when i want to hear it go to boldbeast program list .. Can i do that ?

Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070

i have problem while using custom rom that i can hear both side clearly but this app only record my own voice while calling. i then enable root mode and use record mode setting 21 (root). by using this setting, while calling ,only incoming voice is good and louder but my own voice become too slow. what setting i should apply as i try many setting and combination but still no luck.

[MENTION=6106307]boldbeast[/MENTION] does this app allow deep sleep during calls? Even with SU logging off and call recording strictly manual I cannot seem to get deep sleep during a phone call - am I setting something up improperly or does this app always run/use battery during phone calls regardless of how you set it up? I am also having a second issue, but if the first is a simple "no" then I will not trouble you with it.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
What I suggested is a hidden folder that is supported by android/linux, it's simple, just to prevent media player visit recorded files.

You use the "encrypt" option of the file manager, I haven't tested it. I think it's a useful solution also.

As I said in the previous post, Boldbeast Recorder uses a database to save information of new recorded calls. Old calls you copied into the phone don't have related information in the database, so Boldbeast Recorder can't manage your old files - you can't see them in the Call List screen of the app. So please use the file manager to manage those old files.

Updated 2015-03-07

--------------------------

From V7.7 by default the folder in which recorded files are saved is no longer hidden, and Music Player doesn't visit recorded files. You can use the built-in file manager to see them.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
What do you mean "deep sleep"? If you mean the state that "all apps and background processes are stopped, the CPU is sleep", I'm afraid it's impossible during a call.

Android phones usually have two CPUs - the Modem and the AP (Application Processor), during a call the Modem is running to process signal data, the AP is running Android system and apps, at least the MediaServer process and the Phone process must continue running by the AP. Many internal audio controls must be powered on, if sleep the microphone/earpiece/speaker will be powered off therefore they don't work. During a call CPUs are working heavily, they are impossible to sleep.

During a call Boldbeast Recorder continues listening to the call state, sets different audio settings when the call state changes, starts/stops recording if needed. After the call is ended Boldbeast Recorder releases all resources and go to sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
The first I am aware of, it's the second bit about what BoldBeast does in a call i was asking about. I was unsure if there was a way to avoid this when you are not actively recording, especially for lengthy phone calls - it appears from your post that the answer is no. If this clarified anything and there is such an option please do let me know, if not thank you much for clarifying anyway, I do appreciate the prompt response.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
During the call if you don't start recording, CPU/battery resources used by the app can be ignored.

After the call no CPU/battery resources needed.

What answer do you need?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I've been unable to figure out how to get CPU resources not to process/drain when not recording. I made a call earlier and checked in BetterBatteryStats, it showed BoldBeast had kept the phone awake (not just slightly like a normal phone call, draining battery/resources) for the duration of the call, although I never pressed the record button, and obviously auto-record is disabled as I am not on pro version. It sounds like this is not intended behavior. Any idea what the issue could be/anything I could submit to help figure out further?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
No, Boldbeast Recorder don't drain battery.

Indeed we design the app in a green manner. When a call comes the app dynamically create a recording service and acquire a wake lock (this is needed), preparing everything, waiting for you click the record button to record the call. After the call is ended the service will be terminated by itself, release the wake lock, and release all resources. The app is light weight and friendly to the system. During the call the app hold a wake lock, it's a "partial wake lock" that prevent the CPU sleep but don't prevent the screen unlighted.

For example, In a Samsung phone,

- charge the battery to 95%, the battery state will be reset.

- use Boldbeast Recorder to record a call.

- open the battery app you'll see something like following:

Device Idle ---> consumed battery 10%

Android Os ---> consumed battery 8%

Cell standby ---> consumed battery 3%

Screen ---> consumed battery 2%

Bluetooth ---> consumed battery 0%

Boldbeast Recorder ---> consumed battery 75%

The app consumed battery 75%, why? Because after reset the battery state only the app has been executed, so it consumed almost all the battery during this "short period".

After several hours you may see following:

App1 ---> consumed battery 26%

App2 ---> consumed battery 19%

Device Idle ---> consumed battery 15%

App3 ---> consumed battery 13%

Android Os ---> consumed battery 10%

Cell standby ---> consumed battery 8%

Screen ---> consumed battery 5%

Boldbeast Recorder ---> consumed battery 1% ===> very little

Bluetooth ---> consumed battery 1%

This time you see the app consumed very little battery comparing to other apps.

So I guess this is just a "statistic period" problem. I suggest you see the list after your battery has been consumed for several hours, you'll see Boldbeast Recorder is very green.
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
Awesome. Will give it a couple days to see how it impacts my battery overall then instead of worrying about immediate stats, as this makes sense. I appreciate the thorough explanation, especially given it was statistical and any halfway explanation of statistics generally just serves to confuse things worse. My second issue of call clarity seemed to be fixed by switching from .wav to .arm, so all is well. Appreciate the detailed reply.
[Android Apps and Games] yassoo angel:
Ok.. thank you :)

on rooted nexus 5 after one

ring the ringer stop.

any solution?

ami:confused:

and now the phone do not ring at all

ami
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
Just wanted to report back that after a few days use, you are indeed quite correct. This app is very green indeed, what I noticed before was simply a statistically misleading percentage due to checking stats too quickly. After having this installed and running for a few days, it barely drains battery at all just as you said. This is an awesome app, I've been looking for a strictly manual call recording app (not a fan of auto-record at all. I have a legal case that I VERY rarely, i.e. 2 - 4x a year, need to record calls for, but when I do need it it MUST be reliable and immediately accessible in-call) for AOSP Lollipop ROMs for literally months now. This app is the only one I've found that fits all those criteria, great work man.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Recording calls doesn't change the ringing behavior. Maybe you modified something in the ROM that is related to this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Thanks for reporting back.

Update: Wanted to post in forum - after purchase message sent upon successful completion of your help getting Boldbeast call recorder working on my old phone. Also to state how super-high quality the recordings are. With memo feature not only will no call info be lost or threatening call be missed now memo is used for notes with Bluetooth and a recorder for in room conversations. Thanks for the excellent support!

Thank you for your troubleshooting this is a last notice to you let you know that on my phone: HTC One SV, that is rooted, S OFF does not require the root option. It works with just a simple install and changing to record mode 1. this works with Bluetooth headset & memo features work fine after I purchased it. Staying with the AMR record - file its 24 kilobyte for a 15 second call recording versus wave which is 214 kilobyte for a 15 second call. Thank you so much for your wonderful program and your patience in helping me walk through the demo to get it working.

Zach
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Glad to know your HTC One SV works well, no root needed, just use "Record Mode 1 + Tune Special" to record calls, and bluetooth recording works also.
[Android Apps and Games] Kariharri:
I can confirm that recording works very well on Nexus 6 when SELinux is enforcing and when using the settings and app version "boldbeast_recorder_V75_nexus6.apk" provided on post #4. Thank you :good:! I will be buying the Pro version.

One minor "request" though. Could you implement an optional to auto clean up of old recordings? So that the app would delete recordings that are older than a time that would be specified in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Thanks for feedback, glad to know Nexus 6 works well without setting SELinux to permissive.

Thanks again for the "Auto Delete Old Recordings" suggestion, we'll add this feature in future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] markassbuster:
I am getting a force close after hanging up a call and sometimes during. Nexus 5, 5.1, rooted and using the settings below. The calls do actually record though. Is there a directory location for a log I can pass to you?

- Record Mode: 1

- Tune Special: No

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: Yes

- Start Input Stream: No
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send log files to me. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] markassbuster:
Done! Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I checked your log files.

Boldbeast Recorder calls some Android native functions that have been changed in Android 5.1, this is the reason why the app crashes. We'll change the app accordingly to fix the problem. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] kkriop:
Thank you very very very much,it works on moto g 2014,

Can you please also guide me how to extract it mail to some other guy,I cant find any files on my mobile :( but recordings appear in the app,thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In the settings screen of Boldbeast Recorder, please change the Clip Saving Folder to remove the dot in the folder name, for example change it from "/sdcard/.BBRec" to "/sdcard/BBRec", then the folder is no longer hidden, you can see all recorded files in the file manager, you can transfer them to your computer, send them to other devices, share them with other people. Of course other apps like Music Player can visit the files also. You can make the folder hidden again by add the dot in the folder name, for example change it from "/sdcard/BBRec" to "/sdcard/.BBRec", this will prevent Music Player to visit recorded files.

Updated 2015-03-07

--------------------------

From V7.7 by default the folder in which recorded files are saved is no longer hidden, and Music Player doesn't visit recorded files. You can use the built-in file manager to see them.

I'm looking for an call recorder what I would like to use My Samsung Galaxy Not4 (without root). The most important for me the BLUETOOTH call recording in my car! Anybody can offer me an software?

SM N910C - 5.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] ceyhunca82:
Hi Guys,

I have m8 with google version 5.01. I couldn't do my call recorder working. I rooted my phone and flashed super Su. Tried many recorder software. Dome time they work on microphone method. But on microphone not good quality and not enough voice level. If s.o know how to solve this problem I really appreciate it.

And 2. Question: On my current camera software which is google camera, im not able to close camera sound.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The hardware of your Galaxy Note4 SM-N910C supports bluetooth recording, but the ROM doesn't support it.

Boldbeast Recorder can fix the problem. You should root your phone, enable the "Change Audio Controls" option in the app, then you'll get perfect recording via bluetooth.

There is no solution without root. Even if you root the phone I'm afraid you have no other choice, Boldbeast Recorder is the only solution so far.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please use these settings to record calls:

- Record Mode: 1, 4, 21, 22 or 24

- Tune Special: Yes

- Tune HTC Parameters: Group2
[Android Apps and Games] ceyhunca82:
Thank you for help:) Record mod21 works. (Rooted). Records doesnt come out on app screen. İs that normal? İ can see on the folder. Thanks great app.
[Android Apps and Games] yager01:
Thank you for your answer. This news is bad for me. I dont want to root my Phone because of the knox (warranty). :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please click the icon on the top-right corner of the main screen to open the call list screen, you'll see all recorded calls are there.
[Android Apps and Games] gazzacbr:
wow, worked first time on my HTC M8 dual sim on 4.4.4. Recordings are a little bit quiet but running through PlayerPro with the volume up helped.

I did enable the root options but didnt seem to make much difference.

Good work.

Great app! Need bluetooth recording help

Hi,

I have a T-Mobile SGH-M919 Galaxy S4 running the ROM listed in my sig. It is rooted--(obviously since I am using a custom ROM with no KNOX).

App works great with recording both with regular microphone + speakerphone. Can't get it to work with bluetooth however.

Any suggestions on the settings to use?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In some countries HTC didn't disable the call recording feature of HTC M8 dual sim Android 4.4.4, Record Mode 4 works.

If it doesn't work well, please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send hardware log files to me, let us have a look at them. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please enable the "Change Audio Controls" + "Start Input Stream" options in the app, does it work?

If no, please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send hardware log files to me, I can try to change recording parameters accordingly to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Weird, the setting was selected, but wasn't recording initially. I reset to defaults, changed recording mode to 24 as has been described, reboot, and now it does work great! Fantastic app!

My settings just for others:

Mode 24

Tune samsung 1 on

tune samsung 2 on

tune samsung 3 off

Tune special on

change audio controls on

change audio driver on

start input stream on

This settings doesn't work, on any mode

nexus 5

android 5.1

Can you give me a download link of V7.6? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TheLoverMan:
mate works great on nexus 6, do you ever have sales or anything like that?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
It's strange. Please try to disable the "Start Input Stream" option, does it work?

V7.6 has a bug - when users click the Restore button in the About screen it crashes on Android 5.0 and 5.1, we fixed it and released V7.7 within several hours.

So V7.6 is almost the same as V7.7. Please use V7.7.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The app is free, no advertisement, it's enough for most users to use, no need to pay.

Some users paid to us to upgrade to the pro version, thanks to them.
[Android Apps and Games] iliuweiming:
But V7.7 doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Sorry, the settings provided in the previous post were not right.

Indeed V7.7 works. Please use following settings:

- Record Mode: 1, 5 or 21

- Tune Special: No

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: Yes

- Start Input Stream: No

Looking for a recording app and yours is the best I've found but I'm issuing a non-rooted S6 Edge and a non-rooted HTC M9. We can hear the non-local caller crystal clear but not the person with the app on the phone. Any plans to support these devices? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] maujavier91:
This is a really great application thank you
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
I discovered a major problem which may be caused by boldbeast and these settings.

After powering on, after the first bluetooth call, I cannot get any audio in or out for phone calls. People call in or I call out, but there is no audio upon picking up on my end. I think the other end also hears nothing. Obviously a big deal! This is with calls using the regular speaker and with bluetooth.

I do not know if boldbeast is hooking into the first bluetooth call and not releasing it afterwards? Bug does not seem to occur when making only non-bluetooth calls.

Trying these settings from your forum to see if reproducible:

- Record Mode: 24

- Record Format: AMR

- Tune Samsung 1: No

- Tune Samsung 2: No

- Tune Samsung 3: No

- Tune Special: Yes

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: Yes

- Start Input Stream: No
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please disable the "Tune Samsung 3" option and test again, does it work well now?
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Samsung 3 was never on in any of the configurations I attempted.

EDIT:

Upon further testing, with boldbeast uninstalled, looks like the problem is my phone itself! Sorry to trouble you!

All this testing with the phone in different states must have brought it out.
[Android Apps and Games] ArtDC:
It's a great app. Some questions: what settings would you suggest for Xperia T? As far as I tested, method 4 works fine for headset calls, but the other side's sound is completely distorted on speaker on. On the other hand, method one works for speaker on, although my ends volume is rather low, and in headset mode volumes are low. Is there any method that would allow switching speaker on/off during the call, like autogain or something? Also, memo mode volume is very low, any way to increase gain there? I've emailed the hardware logs, hope that helps. Anyway, thanks for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] captaindeep:
Will this work for 5.1 lollipop omnirom
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Record Mode 4 is suggested for Xperia T. If the recording quality is not good enough, please root your phone, use Record Mode 24 to record calls.

There is an "Auto switch speaker on" option in the app, you can use it if needed.

Memo recording, please use other Record Format and Audio Encoder to test again.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
We have no feedback about this.

Usually it depends on your phone model, for example maybe GT-I9300 works but GT-I9100 doesn't work (just for example).

Anyway no matter what phone you are using, please test following settings:

- Record Mode: 21, 22, 23 or 24

- Tune Special: test Yes and No

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: Yes

- Start Input Stream: Yes (if visible)

Hi Bold,

I'm testing an Honor 4X currently (Kirin 620 from Huawei). BBR don't work for the moment.

I tried all the others modes, it's the same.

No root available for the moment.

It will surely work with, in the future...

On my Honor 6 rooted, works like a charm.

Thanks for all, Boldbeast!
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I searched with google, it seems Huawei Honor 4X uses the MSM8916 chip, not Kirin 620.

Can you please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send hardware log files to me? let me check it. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] abel06:
Hi boldbeast,

I just sent now the log.

The proc is hi6210sft. A kirin one, it seems.

I joined a screen capture in my mail.

This model of Honor 4X is a Che2-L11 sold in France. So with Kirin.

In think in China the proc is a Qualcomm.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] abel06:
Thank you for your help, Bold !

It works with your new version.

Hi

Thanks for developing the wonderful app. I am using it and fully satisfied with it's performance.

I would like to a make feature request, if it is possible then please add the functionality to record whatsapp and viber calls into this software.

As these days lot of people are using whatsapp, viber etc to make the calls.

Hope to see this functionality addition in this wonderful software soon.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The app can't record VOIP calls, so it doesn't support Whatsapp and Viber.
