Some Nexus 6P Android 7.0 users said the Alsa Mode worked, some said it failed. I'll investigate it further more.

At this moment if the Alsa Mode fails please use Record Mode 1 or 5 to record calls.
[Android Apps and Games] zwade01:
Thank you for investigating. I had to completely uninstall for now. Even with trying the other record modes it freezes up and I have to reboot to use the phone again.
[Android Apps and Games] zwade01:
I'm not sure if this will help, but I've installed Call Recorder by Skvalex and it's working perfectly on my 6P on rooted stock Nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
We'll publish the newest version Boldbeast Recorder V8.7 within several days.

Here is the final test version V8.7d:

http://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1320-boldbeast-recorder-v87.html

Now Android 7.0 works perfectly.

Nexus 6P, 6, 5X Android 7.0 work great (root needed)

Huawei P9, P8, Mate8, Honor8, Honor7 etc with the latest ROM work great, no root needed

Supports wav, 3gp, mp4, amr and aac formats, all use hardware encoders in your phone to compress sound files, so it's smooth and perfect

Recording quality can be tuned by changing Sampling Rate

Added the "Noise Suppress + Echo Cancel" feature

Improved the record engine

I have changed my Phone. What settings I use whit ZTE Axon 7?

Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
We have no feedback from users about ZTE Axon 7.

Because this phone has the Qualcomm MSM8996 chip inside, please use following settings to record calls:

- Record Mode: 1 or 5

- Tune Audio Effect: No

- Tune Audio Route: Group3

In theory it works well, no root needed.
[Android Apps and Games] WeWa2013:
Works. Thank you.

Long time to process

Hello! I reinstalled boldbeast after phone got the main board replaced by service and I had to put back in boldbeast REC folder all my previous 2358 recordings.

After I moved the files that were backed up on computer in the REC folder of boldbeast I noticed the option to REBUILD DISPLAY LIST.

The first window that popped up took a couple of seconds to finish, but the second barely processed 330 out of 2358 files and it"s been working for about 7 hours.

Is this normal?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (the international version locked on vodafone) with Android Lollipop 5.0

Otherwise the recordings are crisp and clear on both sides.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I have just tested it. I used an old Galaxy S2 phone rebuilding the list, it took 57 seconds to add 1200 files into the list - very fast.

It's too slow in your phone. I guess you are using the external SD card. All apps access the external SD card by "Android Storage Access Framework" - in some phones this is very slow, especially when you have many files in the card. I suggest you use the internal SD card if possible, it's very fast.
[Android Apps and Games] elrohe:
Thank you very much for the info. I was thinking about this as well after many experiments I have tried. But the one that actually made me think is the SD card was when I installed the version 8.7d (test version) and inside the app I selected the folder on the SD card where my files were and the app told me that the folder is too slow and I should select a different folder. Since the BBRec folder is on the root of the SD card I can only imagine that the problem is the SD card but not in physical way but more of an android limitation.

So thank you again for your advice.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkSoulUser:
When will you release the updated version 8.7 to play store? Or can i keep using the 8.7d test version permanently and activate it with my pro code?.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Within several days.
[Android Apps and Games] DJ Palmis:
I can't disable standby indicator. I deactivated battery optimization but still there is a popup message when I try to deactivate notification.

Please fix it, I hate it!
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In the new version V8.7 it seems some phones can't disable the "Standby Indicator", we'll change it soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] DJ Palmis:
Not a problem at all if you are so kind in the reply! ;)

Waiting for your fix, thank You!
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
We have just released the new version of Boldbeast Recorder V8.8.

Please update the app in your phone to V8.8, the problem has been fixed in the new version.

Thanks.

Hello Boldbeast,

Moto X Pure Edition>>Model XT-1575>>android 6.0>>NO root>>

will your app work for this phone? if so what are the correct settings that are needed?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please use these settings to record calls:

- Record Mode: 1

- Tune Audio Effect: No

- Tune Audio Route: Group3

How about it?
[Android Apps and Games] jim1745:
Hi BoldBeast,

the settings you specified above does record both sides of the call, However, when I listen back to the recording the voice from the other side is extremely faint. I actually have to raise the speaker to my ear to barley make out what the other side is saying.

recording call volume on my end is super clear and loud. the issue is only from the other end of the call.

is there additional settings I can try to increase the recording volume from the other end?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
So all recorders in the market can't record calls in two sides on your Moto X Pure Edition XT1575.

You should root the phone, then Boldbeast Recorder can fix the problem.

After root the phone please use these settings in the app to record calls:

- Record Mode: 1 or 5

- Tune Audio Route: Group3

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: No

- Start Input Stream: test Yes and No

Now it records calls crystal clear in two side.
[Android Apps and Games] jim1745:
thanks for the effort. but I will not be rooting this phone. this phone is essentiality stock android with no added bloatware so no reason to root.

perhaps in the future there will be a solution for this model. I will keep eye on this thread just incase.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Fearless_Knight:
Thanks man :)
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I have just checked the Moto X Pure Edition XT1575 Android 6.0 ROM, unfortunately Motorola deleted several important recording parameters from the ROM, as a result no recorder is able to record calls in two sides without root. So root is the only way to go.
[Android Apps and Games] tathagatab:
Confirmed working on Oneplus 3, with no root, above options and Tune Audio Route Group 1.

Note, though, that I'm running not the official OxygenOS, but FreedomOS 1.6.1, which is a pared-down and slightly modified version of OOS.
[Android Apps and Games] kokoskokis544:
Cant get it to record calls on Bluetooth headset. Using galaxy note 4 with recommended settings. In the past i had no issues. Any hint? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If you update the ROM it's possible some behaviours related to call recording will be changed, for example bluetooth recording previously works well but now doesn't work, or vice versa.

Actually many phones in the market have bluetooth recording problems, this is because there is a bug in the audio driver inside the ROM.

Boldbeast Recorder can fix the problem if you root the phone. 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.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I wish rooting allowed me to record both sides via BT on my Galaxy S4 running CM13. I can only record my voice but not the voice of the other party. I've tried numerous combinations of settings and options. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Here is the dedicated topic about the CM13 ROM: CM13 Call Recording

If needed please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send log files to me, let me have a look at them.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yes, I tried the recommended CM13 settings previously and I also sent you the logs. However, I can send them to you again since I'm now on a different CM13 based ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] jago25_98:
Confirmed working with CM13 (5.1.1) rooted and S5.

Most expensive app I've ever bought but happy to support the project. So useful to record everything - "do you have a pen handy?" - not required!

Some suggestions to improve further.

Could try to focus on the call record only, note the parameters of the call and then allow some other app to manage the recordings either through api or the files.

Alternatively, could build in some features in a more monolithic way:

-if the number dialed is in the contact book then show the contact name in the recordings list but still keep a record of the number dialled

-if no contact found then search some external database... Google maps, some number lookup service

-sync or backup the files

-link to an audio transcription service which transliterates the audio to text for easier searching. Make a small commission from the referrals to said paid service or... Assist in api to do this
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
if the number dialed is in the contact book then show the contact name in the recordings list but still keep a record of the number dialled

=> The app has already been doing it this way.

if no contact found then search some external database... Google maps, some number lookup service

=> Thanks for the suggestion, we'll consider it.

sync or backup the files

=> The app has already been able to sync or backup recorded files to Google Drive or Dropbox.

link to an audio transcription service which transliterates the audio to text for easier searching. Make a small commission from the referrals to said paid service or... Assist in api to do this

=> Thanks for the suggestion, very interesting, we'll consider it.
[Android Apps and Games] kokoskokis544:
Im already rooted. Its very weird cause when i test it by calling my networks provider i can hear myself and the automatic voice during playback. However when i place a normal call they other party cannot hear me. (when i play the recordings where people cannot hear me, both ends are recorded just fine.)
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If your Galaxy Note4 are using Android 5.0, please disable the "Tune Samsung3" option in the app. How about it?

And you are talking about "record calls via bluetooth", is it right?
[Android Apps and Games] kokoskokis544:
Im on android 6.0.1 erobot rom if that matters. Yeap, im talking about bluetooth. Without bluetooth people hear me as normal. Do you believe its the rom?
[Android Apps and Games] jago25_98:
Ah yes, it's under details. Have to hold and click when the file isn't selected to get to details :)
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Yes, it's related to the ROM. The official Samsung ROM doesn't have this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] jago25_98:
Interested to know the mechanics for that even in rooted phones and whether there is another platform of phone which can.

Perhaps I need to design a loopback headphone dongle...
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The Android audio framework doesn't support a third-party recorder to record voip calls, this is the reason why there is no solution so far in the market. Don't know if other platforms (like iphone etc) are the same or not.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Amazing work! This app works perfectly! It really does come in handy too when I am talking to someone who asks me to fetch few things from the store...and I always record calls when dealing with any customer service rep no matter how big or small the problem is!:laugh:

i found boldbeast call recorder shut down every morning

please help me to fix it
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
SHould have a warning in the OP about the laws concerning call recording. It is disabled in most devices in the US due to these laws where you have to know the laws in the state you live as well as the laws in the state where the other person lives as well.

Like the state where my brother lives. His state requires you to tell them you are recording them as where my state it is illegal to record a personal phone call all together.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
1. Don't revoke permissions needed by the app to work normally.

2. Some apps are very powerful that can prevent other apps working, such as XXX Greenify, XXX App Manager, XXX Task Manager, XXX Anti-virus, XXX Power Optimizer, XXX Privacy Guard, XXX Clean Master etc, don't allow them block Boldbeast Recorder doing it's job.

3. Android 6.0 and newer versions need special settings: http://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1321-battery-optimization-and-call-recorder.html
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Thank you very much for the suggestion.

I have just added a warning in the first post of this thread.

Hi - I'm using LG G5.

Upgraded from MM to Nougat. Now the record button icon doesn't display in phone calls unless I move my finger over the spot where I last left it.

It then magically appears. Not really a massive problem but obviously something has changed that you might not know about.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If Boldbeast Recorder has the "Drawing Over Other Apps" permission it can display the button over the Dialler app normally, if it doesn't have the permission the button can't be displayed.

Android 7.0 doesn't have the behaviour you described. It seems the behaviour is made by a third-party app, can you please check it?

Samsung Galaxy Sky - problems?

Hi all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Sky phone. I have used a different recording app for couple of years, but I'm not able to get it to work - if I use my headset it will not record the audio from the other phone.

Is this also going to be a problem with Boldbeast?

Best regards,

Arnor
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
1. If that recorder doesn't work no matter without headset or with headset - please test Boldbeast Recorder, it is more powerful than common recorders because it can bypass the "call recording limit in the ROM" without root for most phones in the market.

2. If that recorder works without headset but doesn't work with headset - this indicates there is a bug in your ROM, no matter what recorder you are using the problem will be always there, in this case

- if the phone uses a Qualcomm chip, you should root the phone then Boldbeast Recorder can fix the problem.

- if the phone uses a Samsung Exynos chip, depending on the chip model if you root the phone then Boldbeast Recorder may fix the problem.

- if the phone uses another unpopular chip, Boldbeast Recorder may not fix the problem even if you root the phone.

I don't know what chip is used in your Samsung Galaxy Sky phone, I searched with google but still have no result.

If needed 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] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I tested app and it seems to be the first one which can record both ways (2-way recording) without any problems. I really think about getting pr0 version, however the price is quite high though.

Will it work on samsung galaxy grand gt i9082 cm 13 rom
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 is an old phone that uses a Broadcom chip, the chip is unpopular, third-party ROM developers and call recorder developers are not familiar with it.

From users' feedbacks I know following facts (tell me if I'm wrong):

If you are using the Samsung stock ROM Android 4.2.2,

- in some countries you can record calls in two sides perfectly.

- in some countries you can not record calls in two sides because Samsung disabled the call recording feature, in this case all recorders in the market can only record your own voice even if you root the phone.

If you are using a third-party ROM (any third-party ROM in the market), all recorders in the market can only record your own voice even if you root the phone.

Hi, I have full version on HTC M8 dual sim working great. Only problem is that it loses the key sometimes and I get the 30sec popup. I can recover when I connect to wifi at home but do not have internet connection all day.

Why does it lose the key and how to prevent it?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
The app periodically check the license status, so please don't block it to connect to our server.
[Android Apps and Games] gazzacbr:
Hi,

That's not an answer. I have a whitelist firewall that blocks everything except what I decide to let through.

Call recording does NOT need access to the internet .

What does ' periodically check' mean?

You should be taking the 'innocent until proven guilty' approach. If the internet is not available the app should keep working until it finds otherwise.

If there is no workaround I will abandon this app.

What is difference between APK in the forum attachment and GP? Perhaps free goodies for XDA users? :D
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
If you install Boldbeast Recorder from Google Play (the GP version), when you click the Buy Now button in the app to buy a license Google Play will process the payment.

If you install the app from other websites out of Google Play, when you click the Buy Now button in the app you can choose PayPal, Avangate etc to process the payment.

This is the only difference.

Thanks for the app, OP!

I have a Samsung S3 with the latest lineage OS unofficial build. I know my device works well according to the list of supported devices in this post. However, I notice the audio is too low with the default settings.

I checked the instructions here https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic932-call-recorder-for-galaxy-s3-gti9300-cm12-lollipop.html because I assumed that since this works with CM, it MIGHT work with Lineage. Mode 1 and 5 work, but the audio is low, better than default. Mode 4 does not work at all. The settings with mode 21 and 22 work but the recordings have a delay (if you make a 30 sec call, it records 20, that is, 10 sec later after you pick up) and the audio is worse. The settings provided by petardo I couldn't test because the Tune Samsung3 option cannot be enabled, no idea why.

I also checked the instructions in https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1380-cyanogenmode-14-android-70-call-recorder.html. With Auto Route 1 and 2 it works but it has the same delay and quality as modes 21 and 22. With audio route 3 it doesn't work at all. OP also mentions an option called Start Input Stream, but I don't seem to have it. The SELinux mode is set to enforcing, maybe it has something to do with that?

I can use mode 1 but with earphones in a quiet place. Since I don't have any reference, I don't know if the audio can be improved. Any ideas?

Hope my feedback helps! :)
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Yes you are right, it's simple for a voip app to add the recording feature itself, because it has the voice stream data.

However if a voip app doesn't have the recording feature (for example Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Hangouts, IMO, Facebook Messenger etc) and a third-party recorder wants to record voip calls - so far no solution for android, even if you root the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Samsung Galaxy S3 has many variants, they uses different audio chips. Third-party customized ROMs usually change something inside, it's possible a ROM records calls very well but another ROM records calls very bad.

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 and see what happened in your phone. Thanks.
