I'm not recommending this, it was the first link on a search for "fast sleep".

Most other people that came here with the same problem solved it by using something like "advanced Configration Tool" or the like.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Yup, two-way recording working for me and I'm sure happy as heck! Not using a BT headset it doesn't matter to me as well ;)

Anyway, since you did a pretty good job on the whole program, I'm sure it will be a piece of cake implementing the ability to run it as service.

It's just like me, when I started writing PHP I saw MySQL syntax as arabic language, but now I even manage to create relational queries on the fly :p

that's exactly the one I am using, and it seems to be working, as I don't get the recording cancelled after the first couple minutes of call
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mfrey0118:
OK now I have two way working with A.C.R. but how do I stop the phone from saving two copies of every phone call? Now, I get one in /device/mydocuments/notes and one in the location where I chose thru A.C.R...how to stop having the items saved to the device...?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
looks like you have another program recording the calls under the /notes/ folder, as ACR only saves calls in the configured folder.

Try disabling ACR, I'm sure you will not record calls to the configured folder, but the calls will still be saved on the device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mhdabedali:
I am sorry for the dumb question. I just upgraded my phone to the HTC EVO from the HTC Touch Pro2 and I had the ACR app installed on the tp2, it was working great. Could this app be installed on an android 2.2 operating system. TIA
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
did it occur to you that windows mobile applications don't really work on android? :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mhdabedali:
I meant to ask if there was a similar app that works on android
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
oh, I see... well I am sure someone must have necessarily developed something like it for android, anyway your best bet is to ask, or even better search, in the android development forums of xda, since this one is winmo only :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mhdabedali:
I just thought to ask here because I have searched for it on xda and ppcgeeks and found nothing. Thanks anyway.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
first apparently useable one that google found: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-opensystem-callrecord-jjDw.aspx

Possible hard hang bug in 1.2.4?

Hi all,

I think I may have found a bug with ACR 1.2.4 and the HD2, running the latest NRG ROMs:

Whenever I receive a call, the phone will hard freeze. Mostly when hanging up, but also when the call is just connected.

I have disabled ACR and phone freezes seem to have been mitigated...

Hope this helps find a cure! ;-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
by "mitigated" you mean totally disappeared or just reduced?

Because, ifit's the second case, it would be something else causing the issue.

I have an HD2 as well, and the only roms I've been using are the ones of the axloer series, anyway they spanned through several radios and rom base/drivers, and I've never got such problems.

My only big issue is that the stupid way WM 6.5 manages ram shuts down ACR after a while if I open several apps at once.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Yom:
Disappeared so far. I have had a hang since but it was IE related.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I see.

Then slothie should have a say at it; it's definitely rom related, as with 4 or 5 different versions of axlor roms I've never had such behaviour; actually never got a hang while answering a call
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] electronixtar:
I am using ACR on Kaiser, so there is noway to turn recording volume up a bit?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
pretty much, no.

Recording is done digitally, directly off the sound that is routed through your device. So unless you have a way to increase volume of the incall audio with the volume buttons, ACR cannot really artifically amplify the sound.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Brkic:
I am using ACR on MioA701 wm6.5 and work great but my voice on microfon is too loud,

is there any possibility to reduce the Volume ?

I guess that the answer is post above.

I found some another program "Resco Audio Recorder" and with him all volume is down so they do not hear a good one who is called.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eaykoc:
Thanks

Hi all,

I didn't look if this has been posted before but ACR 1.2.4 also works on Garmin-Asus M10 with the default firmware.

Thank you slothie for this wonderful application.

Random hangs

I use a HD2 rom with 3.02 drivers with no manila-sence but with spb mobile shell and inesoft dialer.

Using the resco audio and vito audio my phone hangs directly when i open the inesoft dialer.

Using the acr 1.2.4 and the wm sound recorder 2.1 i have some random hangs and i have to pull out the battery.

Maybe my problem has to do with the inesoft dialer.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
don't know/use inesoft dialer, but as long as the problems disappear if you temporarily disable it, then you got your culprit :)

Version working on HD2

I don't know if this was already addressed, but here is your original cab with the following added to the Registry for the HD2:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]

"MixModeRecord"=dword:00000001

I've got it working very well on my own ROM. Thank you for this program. I've needed this function regularly. It was working with notes (Sort of), but, now it's automated. :D Also, the Volume Buttons will Increase or Decrease the Recording Volume of the Other Party just fine.

If it's already been addressed, I apologize.

PS: In California, USA, it's only legal if you notify the other party that you will be recording. Jail time if you don't... :eek: I didn't include it in my ROM due to legalities in some areas.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
they still need to search your phone's memory card to show you've commited a supposed crime. How are they going to justify that?

Anyway, were I living in CA, I'd just change my answering habit from "hello?" to "hello this phonecall may be recorded" :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SuperSport:
Yes, I only use it when I need to, and I let people know so I don't end up in hot water. But you are right, how would they even know, unless you tried to use it in court or something.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gpietron:
WM shuts down ACR suggestion

What about SKTools Processes Action Add to "do not close"? Thought about it yesterday, was thinking about looking for such app and then thought to check SKTools. Did not have time to test it properly today... So far OK, but too early to be sure.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
didn't know about that function, on another forum I found some users reported an "increased lifetime" for the apps added to the "do not close" list, even if they get closed anyway, just later on ;)

Anyway, I don't feel like there is any point in paying for sktools just to use that function (which doesn't really deliver anyway, in the end) :D

I just prefer waiting on slothie do his magic with the service status of acr :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NIKOSXRI:
random hangs

It seems that my hangs happen when I save the recordings to storage card.

Now I save the recordings to My Documents and no hangs so far.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nerys71:
I am guessing at some point this will not be a free program ? (expiring beta's ??)

any idea how much it will be? I REALLY love this program and am hoping it won't be too much or annoying to register etc.. :-)

a bug report for you. For some reason the program stopped recording for me. last 2 files were "blank" and the "last call" file changes each time but again it blank.

found out what I think might be the problem. Is there a 99 file limit per folder either with your program or with windows mobile? (I still had 1.4gig free so it was not a space issue)

soon as I delete a few recordings it worked fine again!!

if this can not be worked around it would probably fix it to generate new folders as the folders get full? ie sub folders.

Best way would probably be the same way my Dash cam does it.

Year/Month/day/recordings.wav (or whatever they are)

so a folder 2010 would be made then 09 would be made then a folder 12 then the recordings for that day.

its highly unlikely we would get more than 100 calls recorded in a single day. OR just make it make a new folder once you hit say 90 files??

another nice idea is if we could control the way it names the files. For example I would love mine to be 2010-0912 2245 - in/out - Unknown/Number etc.. so if I dialed 555-1212 it would save the file as

2010-0912 2245 - Out - xxx-555-1212.wav

Thanks for making a truly great little program!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Biker1:
Been awhile, but I am still using V1.2.1 on my Sprint Diamond, and all systems are a go :)

Yep, still have the Diamond, as Sprint will ream my arse with almost $2000.00 in additional charges over a 2 year contract, if I switch to a device with a OS other than WinMo. Although, even if a new WinMo becomes available, they will make me switch plans anyway because it will be 4G. It is only a matter of time until they finally get me :mad:. But I digress ............

What's up Slothie? Hope everything is well ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
@mfrey0118 Are you using the notes app to find these? I’ve had a few other people ask this before and it came down to this notes app showing all the wav files on the device (not just the folder) so people thought there were two copies?

@Yom I doubt it is ACR. It does sound like you need more memory if you ask me. Not that I would know, I haven’t seen your device but I would be looking to move files/programs from your device and store them on your SD card. This might help?

@eaykoc Thanks mate.

@Nikosxri The dialer you are talking about I can only assume uses the RIL. My program was made with efforts to not touch the RIL at all but when you poke into this stuff it can lead to an unstable device. I’m not trying to pass the buck here but these are my first thoughts. If you change the dialer does the problems go away?

@Supersport Thanks. I can link to this on the front page once its confirmed as working?

@nerys71 I might sell this one day but the expiring beta is because I am scared ****less that I will be getting the full brunt when some judge pops a vein and comes looking for me. I also have some concerns that I might have made a mistake in regards to protecting people’s privacy and having an expiring beta relieves this stress for me.

99 Files? First I’ve heard of this. I’ll look into this, but people don’t ring me very often so it might take some time. I wish I’d heard about this a couple of days ago though, I just used the Importer to copy all my calls to outlook. And I’m pretty sure there would have been close to at least ninety calls.

@Biker Hey mate long time no see. Yeah I’m kind of the in the same boat. I’ve been very busy trying to and failing at, a, getting ACR to run as a service. And b, trying to add an answering machine to the program. I also said ‘damn the noobs and there obsession for memory’ and added SQL to the next version of ACR HD. Hopefully it will be a hell of a lot faster showing lists and I intend to use it as my contacts manager as well.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nerys71:
Can we PM you for a non expiring version? My fear is you will go "poof" and a perfectly good working program will go "poof" with no further updates and a end of life date :-)

as for 99 files this is VERY easy.

load up your files on your PC. Highlight all your WAV recordings press CTRL+C and then Press CTRL+V and KEEP PRESSING CTRL+V until you get to 99

windows will automatically rename the new copies to prevent conflicts (copy copy2 copy3 etc..) if its a 99 file issue what the files are will not be relevant neither will what they are named.

In fact I will try it right now and verify it works (its been working flawlessly since I emptied the folder)

be back in 5 minutes

OK it appears to be a coincidence that it stopped at 99 files.

I just went to 104 files no problem

but I DID get it to stop working and its an oddball.

ANYTIME I plug in the usb cable to interact with the files on my computer. ACR is dead.

I have to restart the phone to get it to work again.

I can also make it work again if I goto acr disable it close it reopen it hit enable and make sure the title changes to acrmain

if I do that it once again works.

for some reason plugging it into the computer usb port KILLS acr keeps it from recording anything.

since I plug into the computer A LOT this happens a lot. not as bad now that I know about it but for sure very annoying.

Is there anything you can do to fix that?

BTW recording calls is perfectly legal in ALL states that I am aware of. in some states there is the added stipulation that BOTH PARTIES be aware of the recording and agree to it.

the "act" of recording is not otherwise illegal. The software is also not illegal. if your really worried have the software pop a notice on first installation that Recording telephone calls must adhere to state laws and the laws for ALL PARTIES in the call!.

Basically if you are NOT a party to the call ie the maker or reciever of the call IE your not TALKING you may not record the call PERIOD. this is nation wide.

since these are OUR phones this does not apply (but DOES if you install it on someone elses phone without their knowledge)

There are 12 exceptions. If you make call FROM or TO any of these states

* California

* Connecticut

* Florida

* Illinois

* Maryland

* Massachusetts

* Michigan[10]

* Montana

* Nevada

* New Hampshire

* Pennsylvania[11]

* Washington

You must have CONSENT of all parties in the call.

Canada is One party so your good to go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws

Remember even if your in a ONE PARTY state if you call a TWO party state you must follow the stricter laws.

This all is only really relevant if you post or USE the recordings. if there just for you and you delete them when your done. well the law is pretty irrelevant.

if you NEED the recording the safest is to get them to say YES to recording WHILE YOUR RECORDING if they say no say call me back when you can say yes and hang up if its that important to record it.

if you call a business and they say this call may be recorded they just gave you their consent and as long as you consent your good to go.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
the latest versions of acr, both "plain" and hd are expiry-less, going from slothie's statements, so no problem about that... he made them so exactly for the reason you feared.

Regarding the stopping, load a task manager like dotfred's and see if "AcrBase.exe" is loaded in memory (I'm sure it's not).

You most probably have my same issue, where the stupid, puny, obsolete and senseless way the WinCe 5 core deals with memory closes open applications in background if the "virtual memory" gets near full.

And that may happen even if you have 400MB of free ram as I do on my HD2.

In that case, create a shortcut to \program files\acr\acrbase.exe and launch it when acr dies.

I believe slothie is giving his best to make acr run as service, so this won't be a problem anymore.

EDIT: d'oh, my 1500th post :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nerys71:
oh yes aware of that. but this happens 100% of the time when you plug in the USB cable to transfer files with the computer (mass storage not active sync) so something odd is going on.

Service would be great especially one that "auto checks" and resets itself when needed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SuperSport:
Most definately. I hope it works for others.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
@slothie

you may as well stick all these reg keys inside the ACR cab:

http://www.ephestione.it/guide-for-htc-hd2-full-two-way-in-call-recording/

even if some of them would be useless for those who don't use the HD2 :)

BTW can we safely assume (as I've been doing for a while now, since I seem to recall you said so) that the timebombs have been completely removed from latest versions of ACR and ACR HD? Or have they been just postponed?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jjollyroger:
Hi, I'm testing ACR v1.2.4 on my htc HD2 to see if it causes any freezing or issue.

I can suggest settings to have a pure sound on hd2

WAV FORMAT: PCM

BITS PER CHANNEL: 16 BITS

SAMPLES PER SECOND: 22050

Using other combinations I have a worst recording sound (can't explain why, since a higher Hz rate should give a better sound.. but it isn't so on my device :confused: )

with these settings you can also save calls in the same folder of resco audio recorder, resco software recognize them and is able to playback.

Using the other ACR wav format, resco playback fails cause misses some codec
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Biker1:
@ Slothie

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands. lol! J/K

Back in the day, you took some breaks from ACR, to spend on yourself and Family, if I remember correctly.

You paced yourself, as it was very hectic back then starting up ACR, and working out the kinks, and sifting through the 100's (maybe thousands) of suggestions everyone had :D

Hopefully you are still taking time for yourself, and it sounds like your covering your a*s, which is good to do, being that it seems that the whole World (at least the USA) is going crazy with this Political Correctness, and some people can't wait to make life difficult for others, when they are just trying to help out.

Sorry to digress. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you are a millionaire by now with such a great application :)

Alright, maybe not yet, but hopefully soon.

I'll keep in touch.

Problem

Hi

Tried to find similar posts before posting this Q (no luck):cool:

- I am using the ACR 1.2 with my HCT Blackstone, WM 6.5.

After a call today I went to listen to the playback and found that all my recent recorded calls have the first 0-10 seconds missing... (!?) :confused:

Anyone have had the same issues and fixed'em? :)

Also using "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" by Marzens Ltd, v1.2.0.0
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
search this thread, I remember having read about this issue also from someone else, but cannot remember if or how the solved it
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mfrey0118:
Yeah, just use the recordings to take detailed written notes. That way, you can record the conversation, word for word, and use the info later...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
it's a workaround useful only for practical purposes, not in court... if you just need to remember a number or an address the other person is giving you, and you cannot write it down on the fly, you have the recording to back you up.

But if you need the recording as legal proof for something, the exact transcription is useless, for obvious reasons ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] juston80:
After each synchronization, disconnect the USB cable when the file acrbase.exe asks, how can I fix this?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mfrey0118:
As an observation, it seems ACR resets itself on my HD2, when it loses network signal, and the data connection is reset. I then have to go back into it and enable recording.

Anyone else notice this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I think it is a coincidence... ACR doesn't check for network signal, it's just you that probably go and see if ACR is still working. I already reported this, nothing to do with a particular event, it's just stupid windows mobile closing background applications when it deems necessary. That's why if slothie is able to make it into a service the problem will disappear.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jacktheeagle:
I need help guys with my ACR. I already installed it successfully but when I am trying to open it, error notification appears all the time.

Here's the error notification:

Please help guys. I really desperately need this application to record phone conversation.

Thanks before:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Are you using ACR HD? In that case, random errors may occur as it is still in middle of development, yet it should work anyway even if you cannot access the configuration utility.

The normal ACR works anyway, even if it is less advanced
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jacktheeagle:
Hi Ephestione!

Thanks for your reply. I installed normal ACR as my phone is HTC S730 (WIng). I know this is wrong place to post my question, but this is the only ACR thread that still active.

I really hope that someone could help with my issue. I tried Vito AudioNotes and it works but another person's voice very soft and not clear enough even I already set into the highest quality option.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
No it's not the wrong thread ;) Slothie opened it under the Touch HD forum, yet ACR works for a whole range of different phones, so this is the "official" thread :)

Anyway, not being the dev myself, I can only suggest you a line of action, that is running ACRBase.exe by hand, and add these to your registry (save the contents as a .reg file, and import with advanced task manager by dotfred:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Inta\ACR]
"AskToSaveCall"="False"
"Enabled"="True"
"FileSavePath"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\chiamate registrate\\"
"LastCallPath"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\chiamate registrate\\*****"
"RecordIn"="True"
"RecordOut"="True"
"Unknown"="True"
"WavBitPerSample"="16"
"WavFormat"="52"
"WavSpamplesPerSec"="44100"
"WriteToDebug"="False"

these are my settings, you can manually change them by altering the save path location, and the bitrate/sapling of the wavs. Format is PCM and not GSM, as like someone else said in this thread, audio quality is indeed better with wav, even witrh lower values of bitrate.

See if that works for you, don't forget to add \Programs\Acr\AcrBase.exe to the autoruns of windows mobile. Reboot, and all your calls should get recorded in the confiugured save path
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SuperSport:
This CAB, "ACR Version 1.2.4 for HD2 w SuperSport Mods.CAB" (SEE BELOW) works on a number of ROMs I've used for the HD2. I modified it to save the recordings to "Device>My Documents>My Recordings", so it will Sync with Outlook automatically when you use ActiveSync or WMDC (Select to Sync Notes), also saves Last Call. I'm saving the recordings in the format: PCM, 8bit, 11025, and they sound very clear on Phone or PC.

@Slothie, Please feel free to modify this CAB any way you see fit. I just posted it because I can confirm it works on the HD2 quite well.

That is absolutely correct. I was in court one time in my life, and the other party used hand written notes taken during the call, and they were admissible in court. :eek: Fortunately for me, the notes helped MY case... :D So this is a good way to do it, just don't say you recorded the call, only state that you took exact notes 'during' the call.

If you want my exact Setup, use the Attached CAB found below.

I purposely did not add the Sleep Registry settings from a previous post as I want the Lumos Program to operate correctly also. I was afraid those REG entries would disable Brightness and Power Management. That is just my take on it, I did not test them since my recording works perfectly as it is here.

EDIT: Ooops. Just tested a couple LONG calls, and in fact the phone does go to sleep and stop recording on some calls. Maybe I will try adding those REG settings after all and see if the Lumos program is effected.

SECOND EDIT: I've added another cab with the Power REG entries. It now records as long as needed, but the tradeoff will be battery life (assumption). Find it attached below also.

Changes made and Cab available at THIS POST.
