[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wezy904:
I have experimented with multiple phone call recording applications I am no longer willing to re-root my handset after every software update.

At the end of the day, I just want something to be of high quality and reliable. This is the Only reason I am still with Xiaomi. They give me the features I want and if I am giving my personal information to the Chinese, instead of the Americans, so be it.

See the attached screenshots. My Xiaomi Mi5 handset permits me to record in low, standard, and high quality MP3 audio.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
There are lots of app that get the result you want and none of them require root.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zelendel:
You have been told why it isn't there. Google has no call recording built into stock Android. Oem that, have it add it in themselves.

You will not only have to root to do this but you will also need a separate app.

As for the info of either China or America. Keep this in mind. Most Chinese data gathers also install malware as well as viruses. Main reason their stock software is not allowed to be on devices outside of China. But hey its just your personal privacy. Not a big worry
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
Actually since we all have other people's personal data on our phones I'd say data security is never just about your own privacy (something that those who decide they don't care overlook).

Call recording is important to me as well. Currently on OnePlus2 with root. I'm using Call Recorder by skvalex. It is a paid app. Cost 10$ but worth every penny. It has many nice features, i.e. cloud and contacts integration. You can read about here: https://callrecorder.skvalex.com/info

The app was pulled from Play Store. But you can still get it from the developer directly. I doubt there is support for Essential Phone yet. But it might still work with Standard API recording method.

Xiaomi does come with stock call recording which is a great plus to me, but it is not very useful to scroll through hundreds of files to find the recording you need. There is no way to manage or sort them, except through regular file sorting in android.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jnmacd:
Anyone interested in getting built-in support: I would recommend you contact Essential and make a request: https://support.essential.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

I have used the trial version of skvalex on my Essential w/o root and it works.

I need to find out from you (the manufacturer) if the phone will have the capability to record mobile phone conversations in high quality audio files. This capability is very important to me and this will determine if I purchase the phone. It looks beautiful and I hope the OS capabilities match the hardware.

Kind regards

Edward.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wezy904:
This is very good to know! Thank you for sharing. Is there any chance you may do a short instructional video and put it on YouTube so that I and others may learn about your Essential phone and the potential configurations that actually work?

I have written to essential as you suggest. Thanks for that too.

I have had Skvalex installed on my phone once before and even tho it was a root situation I want something which is discrete. I don't want it to be blatantly apparent that the call is being recorded either. I use my phone in the open and if there is an obvious recording going on, the person's around me will notice especially if I'm using the speakerphone option.

I've also used Boldbeast which was pretty neat.

I don't think Google has realized the potential implications of :-

1) providing a native onboard call recording Android feature ( on enabling you are forced to click through Legal mumbo-jumbo - "May not be legal to record in your state, two party concent, blah blah blah")

2) onboard and cloud storage option with paid expanded storage options ( 5 Gb, 10Gb etc)

3) the thousands of hours of recordings are now used to perfect understandings of accents, slangs, dialects etc. This is used to perfect AI, because it's where our hands free world is going.

I don't kid myself. I'm sure the Chinese are doing this exact thing with all of my recordings which are stored online at :- https://account.xiaomi.com/

If they are doing it, the west should as well. Realize the inevitable, keep the information in "safe, responsible" hands, and give the people the options they really want. If Mi5, Mi6, FBI, all have my recordings, if I'm the one making they phone call, why the hell shouldn't I have a copy too?

My 2 cents.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Here is the issue. As it is not legal in all states, if it was built in then it would prevent those devices from being sold in that state.

Google has been asked about this before and they have said over and over that due to the laws it is just not something they are interested in.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jnmacd:
Other phones are already doing this (zenfone 3). Its "opt-in" so its up to the owner of the phone to determine if they should enable or not.

Edit: Although, it certainly is interesting if I let someone borrow my phone, and they make a phone call. I have inadvertently recorded a phone call between two people, neither knowing it was recorded.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wezy904:
Funnily enough, Google (who owns Waze) navigates the same legal requirement to prevent an active driver from using their phone while the car is in motion. They (Waze) have exercised their "due diligence" in the eyes of the law by putting in the following screen warning "Typing is disabled while driving. Please try again while stopped". At this point the Waze user can click the 'PASSENGER' button, and the warning goes away and the driver can use his phone as normal.

Noted, it doesn't prevent the driver from using his phone, it only covers Waze's @$$ should the driver be involved in an accident and any hint of liability in Waze's direction. This is the due diligence I speak of.

In the same breath, Google could meet every expectation of legality with a warning prior to first useage of the Native recording applications such as "Recording of phone calls is not legal in every state. Make sure you check the laws which apply to your location. Google assumes NO liability with the continued use of this feature"
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Yes but then zenfone is made by a Chinese company not held to the same laws Google is.

Also keep in mind you would have to know the laws in the state you are calling as well.(lets not even think about a conference call) See where it is just easier for google not to do it themselves. They leave that up to the OEM like Samsung (euro/Asia versions) and Zenfone as well as other companies who's main target is "not" the US. There are many things that are illegal here that are completely legal in other places. It really is a slippery slope for international companies. Soo many different rules and laws that could end up in massive lawsuits.

The only way this would work is the way that companies have it and that is with an warning to both people at the start of every single call.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sash11:
I've been using Call Recorder by skvalex for as long as I can remember. There is no obvious way for other people to see that call is being recorded. Only a small audio tape like icon on the status bar is shown while call is ongoing. You really have to know what to look for in order to recognize that call is being recorded. I think you are blowing it out of proportion)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ccopelan:
Another option

I can confirm that Skvalex's Call Recorder works "right out of the box" without root.

With that said, I prefer Total Recall by Killer Mobile software (www.killermobile.com). I've been using it for several years now quite successfully, and I prefer it. The developers and customer service have always been highly responsive, new "mainstream" devices get supported quickly after they are released, and the UI is simple and intuitive, and it has a ton of features & options. It is also very discreet - the notification light does NOT blink when recording, and the only indication it is recording is a very small microphone icon in the status bar.

The current version (2.0.59) does not yet work to capture the other side of the call at sufficient volume to hear it well. I emailed the developer about this, and was given the opportunity to try a test build, which worked perfectly, *without root*. It is my understanding from the developer that this "fix" will be included in their next release. Based on past experience, I expect this will be very soon, i.e. a week or two, if not significantly less.

Price: You can buy a year long subscription for $5, you can subscribe for 1 month for $1 from within the app, or you can purchase a lifetime license for $10 at www.killermobile.com (which, BTW, can be transferred / re-registered to a new device within the first 12 months from purchase). Trust me when I say I'm a tightwad, I prefer free apps, but this is one app I've always been willing to pay for because it's been "bulletproof" for me. :good::good::good:

(disclaimer: I'm NOT affiliated with the developer in any way, not getting compensated for this, and was NOT asked to do this. I'm just a very, very, very satisfied user!!)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ccopelan:
FWIW, Total Recall was just updated today to version 2.0.61, with a new recording method called "Native X". I have tested and can confirm that this new method successfully captures both sides of a call, loud and clear.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Tenashiz D:
Can Element record calls after Android 9.0?

I can't get Total Recall to work on Element, but I'm also running Android 9. Do you think that's my problem? I've tried every configuration I can think of, both inside and outside of the app. Native X no longer seems to be the smoking gun...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
I created this thread as an Android Pie 9 issue. Google removed the API so all third party apps that do not work are now broken with Pie.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] autosurgeon:
Call recording is likely dead simply due to the range of laws around the world regarding this. The EU and others have no problem suing google and winning massive settlements thus making this a non starter in terms of a fix.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wezy904:
I have been using this bluetooth recording device for about 6 months now and it records all conversations made on the mobile device. It records Whats App, Skype, Viber, Google Talk or normal phone calls. The file it produces is a *.mp3 which is played by multiple media players. I do have one complaint about the unit, and that is it produces a file with a generic name and generic date. The date the file is produced is not reflected on the information displayed on the file which is made. (on Amazon it has 3.5/5 stars- with 37 customer reviews)

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kdm6389:
Phone app could be made moduler / plugins those who want call recording can add "module / plugin / extension" to avoid laws and etc etc
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kdm6389:
"Most Chinese data gathers", well in that case google is hoarding use your head (if), check "google play services" permission. Now google has everything but you don't have yours.

Don't take about law again!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Wow you are out of your league here. I'll let go you necros a post years old.

Yes Google does hoard alot of data. And I personally think if you give them any real data your a fool. The difference is that you have a choice with Google.

I don't know what should I buy... htc cruise or asus p750... I know specifications but I don't know what is better quality
[Touch Cruise General] beermonster65:
does anyone even have a p750 how can we know the quality
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
a bit smaller screen

phone keyboard

more classic phone look

are how it differs from polaris
[Touch Cruise General] Top Mario:
Get the Asus if:

You need a practical phone for everyday use.

We do not know how good it is as is not out just yet, but the 520MHz processor sounds really good, shame about the 2mp camera

Get Touch Cruise if:

You love gadgets and like to fiddle and experiment on them.

From me, a PPC user, I would say that TC has not contestant at the moment. I might get a Eten V900 when it comes out in April but not because is better than TC, but because I love PPCs

Good luck
[Touch Cruise General] martinforester:
htc cruise vs asus p750

Thank you for your answers, but in my country I can buy already this device. I know that a screen is small and asus has less RAM than TC, but asus has stronger processor, at last, which of them is faster? The TC is PPC and why Asus isn't?
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Don't keep staring at CPU specs, don't forget that Eten Glofiish X800 also has more CPU than Touch Cruise, but that the X800 is A LOT slower.
[Touch Cruise General] martinforester:
I know, but on the other forums I red that:

Asus P750

CPU index 2143.53

File system index 348.88

Graphics index 4173.88

ActiveSync index 4214.58

Spb Benchmark index 781.7

Htc cruise

CPU index 1513.45

File system index 149.84

Graphics index 3490.21

ActiveSync index 4902.05

Spb Benchmark index 382.37

so,is it probable that the memory RAM hasn't influence?

...and battery is better and I saw a film at Youtube that the GPS is very slow at the TC
[Touch Cruise General] martinforester:
of course.... Eten glofiish x800 is very shame, maybe V900...

Phone is stuck at "encrypted for security password" screen even after full Data wipe

My s8 is with custom rom and kernel, I never touch/enable any storage encryption setting, no passcode lock setup on the phone, It happen after I wipe /data in twrp. It stuck at this screen after booted up, I don't have passcode setup on the phone. It still stuck at this screen even after I do Format Data, wipe /system /data /cache and clean re flash Rom, kernel, that used to work, the phone boot and build up dalvik cache but still end up at the password screen,

Users of S8+ are able to customize their splash screen after root. Based on what I've read, I believe that we can do the same once we get root.

Check out the S8+ thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/tuto-custom-splash-screen-s8-sm-g955f-t3623368

I did this with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but have not been able to do it with other devices. If it works, I might try to write my own pc program to change it.

Update:

A tool is already built for the S8+:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...ool-g950xx-compatible-utility-g955xx-t3648696

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pendor24:
Hello

actually using my tool for the s8 + you can change the splash of the note8.

decompile the bl, set the up_param. bin has the root of the tool pui launch the exe.

choose to compile, then edit the image.

once the tool is restarted and recompiled.

once the new up_param. bin recuperer recompile bl with this file and flasher with odin.

I would do the note8 tool when I have the info on the partition block.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Awesome...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pendor24:
the up_param of the note8 contains the same files as the s8 + so not very impressive. my backup tools plus the s8 + should also work to recompile the bl automatically.

(all that remains of the theory as long as I can not test on a note8) or have the numbers of block.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
We will have it soon...thanks for your work on this tool. I'm going to test it out as soon as I can....almost wish I had s8+ to play...lol
