In theory Boldbeast Recorder supports all Android phones. If the call recording feature is disabled by the manufacturer we can try to fix it by updating related recording parameters in the Fixing Database inside the app.

If your Amazon Fire Phones don't work well, 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 them. Thanks.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the app. It worked wonderfully for my HTC One M8. There is one hiccup that I encountered however. The recorder does not work if I am using Wifi calling (T-Mobile is my carrier). I tried to record a conversation I had with my bank overseas using wifi calling but it failed. Group 1, 2, mode 1, 4, 5, all failed to record under wifi calling. I just want to see if this is a known issue. I searched the thread but couldn't find wifi calling keyword so I just wanted to shout out my findings. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
This is determined by HTC, actually is determined by the HAL (Hardware Audio Layer) provided by Qualcomm. If the HAL supports call recording via wifi then the app works, otherwise all apps don't work.

According to your information, I believe all recorders can't record calls via wifi in your HTC One M8.
[Android Apps and Games] spankyou:
That is a great explanation. I guess the only thing stopping you guys from enabling recording is not having the function possible lol.

Dear developers,

After most recent update bold beast call recorder doesnt work on my m8 lolopop 5.01. The first one was ok with rooted mode and was working. Something is wrong with the new version and i dont see a section while enable root mode.

I uninstalled due to this reasons

Thanks

HTC One M8 don't need root. Please enable the Tune Special option, it works well.

not recording other person voice in outgoing call in PRO version

I just upgrade to pro version and found that it is not recording other person's voice in outgoing calls.

What to do now

Can Bluetooth call record work on note 3 9005. On lollipop 5.0 Had that feature on HTC one m8.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Most phones have the bluetooth recording problem - in the recording the caller's voice is good but your voice is weak.

If your Galaxy Note3 SM-N9005 / HTC One M8 have the bluetooth problem Boldbeast Recorder can fix it (root needed). After root the phone enable the "Change Audio Controls" option in the app, then you'll record calls clearly and loudly via bluetooth in two directions.

I have a rooted LG Optimus L9 P769, running JB 4.1.2. What would be the best settings for me? I searched this thread and your forum, and I couldn't find anyone else with the same phone, but I saw that it was listed as a phone that would work without being rooted. Is there a benefit to using the rooted options within the app, even though they aren't necessary for this phone? Thank you so much for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] mnhs1010:
Its too much costly:( or I cannot buy from paypal etc
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Following settings are suggested for your LG Optimus L9 P769:

- Record Mode: 1 or 5

- Tune Special: Yes

If it works I think these are the best settings. If it doesn't work well (for example the caller's voice is weak, your voice is weak etc) you need use rooted options in the app, following settings are suggested:

- Record Mode: 21 or 22

- Tune Special: test Yes and No

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: Yes

[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Some phones need to start recording after the call is answered. If you start recording during the dialing / ringing phase it can't record in two directions, so

- if you manually record calls, please click the in-call record button after the call is answered.

- if you automatically record calls, please set following options:

Call Settings - Incoming Calls - Auto Detect Answered State: Yes

Call Settings - Incoming Calls - Auto Detect Max Time (Seconds): 100

Call Settings - Outgoing Calls - Auto Detect Answered State: Yes

Call Settings - Outgoing Calls - Auto Detect Max Time (Seconds): 15
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Old versions of the app sometimes can't get the telephone number correctly in some phones, so we read the call log to get the telephone number for those phones, therefore the "android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" permission is needed.

From V7.3 we completely changed the record engine, now the app gets telephone numbers correctly and reliably in all phones, no need to read sensitive call logs, therefore newer versions (from V7.3) don't need the "android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" permission.
[Android Apps and Games] micnolmad:
After I started to debloat trouble started to arise. For sure the first settings I used do not work at all for me anymore. I can't tell you why.

I started first by unfreeze all apps, rebooted and wiped dalvik and cache. After that I could it to work some of the time. After testing I found that

Record mode must be 1

Tune No

All remaining three, Yes.

I have now almost debloated all the apps I started with.

One thing of note. The first phone call and I have only tested outgoing, always fails with the same error, something about wrong parameters. I will take a screenshot if requested. After that it works every time I have tested.

If I can provide any kind of logs, let me know and tell me how to log it.

Thanks :)

Forgot to tell that it seems I have to reboot after every setting change to make a consistent test. Otherwise a setting can seem to work but after a boot it does not.

Oh and also there is a clash between this and SuperSU's taphijack protection. With it enabled it will not let me press allow which is weird because it worked the first time, which was also before debloat. Still I did not freeze any system critical apps so I think it be more of a SuperSU issue..

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

This is the case for my phone also. I tested an incoming call and if I manually start the recording before I pick up this sound is very loud and scratchy.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

I got the same error on the incoming test. But only the first time. Seems it has something to do with SuperSU. I am using mode 1 but bb still has su in SuperSU. More testing...
[Android Apps and Games] micnolmad:
Okay, so I have now been through all modes but not changed the other settings. That is too many permutations. But generally all rooted modes are all asking for SELinux which is not going to happen.

Mode 1 and 7 works the same as far as the recording being started and saved and audio is there in full volume but only tested outgoing.

There was one more mode that worked the same but I forget.

All other modes did not start to record. They all give the same error, wrong parameters.

After some time and after reboot the first recording fails to save. It starts recording fine. And further asks for su privileges, not from ssu but a bb pop-up.

What I don't get is why it thinks it can't get su even if it is added to the auto grant list in ssu. If the non-root modes work just make them ask for root and let's test it :)
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In SuperSU if you enable the "Notification", when SuperSU gives root access to an app it displays a notification on the screen. It seems SuperSU makes many checks before displaying the notification, if it thinks it's not suitable at the moment to display the notification it will wait for it is suitable, and this may need a very long time. As a result the app can't get root access for a long time, the app may not work well in this period.

So in SuperSU please try to disable the "Notification" for Boldbeast Recorder and test again.
[Android Apps and Games] micnolmad:
I had that thought my self so I tried to reboot and let the phone start up completely before making a test call. I can clearly see bb ask and get su at startup. So it can't be ssu waiting as you say because the toast notification has been shown.

It is showed again when I make a call. I wait to start recording to after the toast is going. Bb still throws the same, first time, error.

Just be sure, I disabled the notifications in ssu but the error still is there.

I don't understand why it worked perfect just after first install, since then only unrooted modes work.

Why do I need to set selinux off?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
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 us have a look at them. Thanks.

Unrooted modes work, that's OK.

From your description Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 don't work, this is because SELinux policies prevent them work. So please

- remain SELinux enforcing, use unrooted modes to record calls. Or

- change SELinux to permissive then Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 work.
[Android Apps and Games] micnolmad:
OK thank you, but then there are some ui bugs in bb because when I first installed it, I was trying modes 1,4,21,24 as suggested and 21 worked perfectly as reported in my first post. Also I didn't get any of error messages I get now. And all I did was reboot. As reported I later wiped cache and dalvik several times during the testing. But selinux was never shown in a error message. Anyway logs are on their way. Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Can selinux be switched off so bb can do what it needs and then switched on again? And if yes, can whatever bb does while selinux is off, be undone later?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In V7.4 and old versions the app directly set SELinux to permissive when you enable rooted options.

From V7.5 we added an option to let you decide if the app set SELinux to permissive when you enable rooted options.

From V7.8 we removed the option, the app will no longer set SELinux to permissive, because Google Play doesn't allow apps to do so. You can use SELinuxModeChanger to do so if needed.

If SELinux is enforcing Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 still work in some phones but they fail in other phones, because SELinux policies are different from phone to phone.

If Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 fail the app automatically uses Record Mode 1 to record calls in V7.5 and old versions, no message displayed, but Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 are not really work.

If Record Mode 21, 22, 23, 24 fail the app displays the error message "Cannot record calls because of SELinux" in V7.6 and new versions. You should set SELinux to permissive to make these modes work.

Does it work well?

If not, this indicates Samsung disabled the call recording feature, it can't be fixed even if we use special recording parameters to record calls. In this case I believe no recorder works well without root , so you should root the phone then use following settings to record calls:

- Record Mode: 1

- Tune Samsung 1: No

- Tune Samsung 2: No

- Tune Samsung 3: No

- Tune Special: No

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

Motorola disabled the call recording feature of Moto G XT1033. We checked the ROM of the phone, Motorola deleted several important parameters related to call recording, as a result no recorder can record calls in two directions without root.

Boldbeast Recorder can fix the problem after root the phone. Just enable the "Change Audio Controls" option in the app, then your phone records calls loudly and clearly in two directions. The "Change Audio Controls" option is visible only after you root your phone.

Changing audio route by the "Change Audio Controls" option needs root permission. Busybox can't help.
