Recording Software HD2 Leo

Hello! First off thank you to Slothie for all the hard work.

I've been using RiAySofts Phone Call Recorder for some time on my HD2 with no problems. Calls record in both directions although there isn't an option to tweak the quality like in Slothie's. I haven't been able to get the incoming call recording working on the HD2 with ACR but it worked really well on my old diamond. If you're in a bind and need software quick get PCR it works fine but it costs a couple of bucks.

Maybe Slothie if you're still reading this thread and working on ACR then the code in PCR might be of some interest to you? Sorry new account I can't post links.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mrdec:
Cheers, will try, though still look forward to at some stage having ACR on HD2, really enjoyed it on my previous device.

Not All Options on TP2?

I just got my tmo tp2 and have been trying out programs on it, and this is one of the best I've found. Kudos to Slothie. I first installed the ACR HD and it works perfectly, however it records all calls and does not give you the option to save or not. I've switched to the regular ACR and will post how it runs.

I am so dense...

for my Motosurf a3100 winMob6.1 fone, which of the versions would you recommend as likely to work on my fone??

AR skips audio

First up - ACR is a brilliant software and hats off to the developer. I am using it regularly to record my business meeting conversations. I use an HTC Touch Cruise with WinMo 6.

I had some issues - does anyone face an issue of skipping audio with ACR? the conversation is recorded well and the I've no issues with the quality. But somehow when I play the file it skips and plenty of my conversation is lost.

Secondly, I have preferred to let ACR ask me whether I want to save the conversation. The trouble is sometimes it doesn't ask me and I lose invaluable data.

Anybody has any answers to these problems may please provide a resolution. Thanks a ton to all in advance.

Hi,

I've had this same issue. When I flashed to some other rom and updated my spl and radio the problem was fixed.

Apart from this, I was facing a minor problem. Since 06.2009 I'm using this application to record all my incoming and outgoing calls. As I'm a little bit chatty, I've too many files in the record folder. It became a trouble to browse files and find out the conversation I've made some days/weeks/months ago.

So I've managed to write a little application. It's a dialog based application. User writes the folder where his/her recorded files are in and presses start. The application then starts to crawl all the files matching the "Matching file" wild card except the file names including "Exception" string.

When it finds a file, according to the last modified date of the file, 3 directories are created (for example 2009\08\22) and the file is moved in that folder.

I hope you find it useful.

Please don't forget that this application comes with no warranty. I strongly recommend you backup all your files before using it. Also, moving nearly 600 files to their new folders took approximately 1 hour on my Kaiser, so be patient.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Is the skipping in the playback if you copy the file off your device to a PC? Secondly ACR HD is currently being reworked with mostly this in mind as we speak, knowing myself you might see this in 6 to 8 weeks....

My Voice is Very Low on Recording

I've seen the tips above about the person on the other end having low volume in the recording.

But in my case it is

my

voice that is very low. The person on the other end is actually quite loud in the recording.

I'm using a Samsung Omnia.

Any ideas?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I see your point, and well that could be a nice new addition for the next release of ACR, giving the choice in the settings dialogue to automatically create a subfolder structure under the set recording directory, either by year/month/day or by contactname/
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
+1 and adding a report:

I received a call a few minutes ago, I answered keeping the phone in my hand, but then I had to check the contacts to give a phone number to the other person.

When I went to check the files that ACR had recorder, this strange thing happened:

First file contained the correct name, with "PersonName_In_blahblah", but was recorded up until when I pressed the left softkey in call to look for the number in contacts... then there was a second file named "PersonName_Out_blahblah" that continued after that... as if I made an outgoing call... but it was only a single call!

Also, the recording for the second segment didn't cover the whole phonecall, but ended sooner...

Maybe going to other menus of the phone during a phonecall causes ACR to "switch modes"?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kubeb:
change file name settings

Hi,

I love this program and it very good for me.

I would to know if there is a way to change the file name when it saves the call.

Previous version saved by "Contact_in/out_date_time".

Version 1.2.3 saves "Date_contact". it gives me hard time to find a certain call from somebody.

Is there a way to change it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anssibragge:
Actually it would be great to have the Phonelog functionality and ACR combined. So that there would be only one program running in the memory to record the calls and make outlook entries for the calls and sms. Now I need to have them both running and that of course takes away some resources.

you can update the list of devices that works "out of the box" and add an acer m900
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
with v1.2.3 I get the Name_in/out_/date_time format...

I think that ACR is taking up very few resources considering how useful it is... 568kb of ram and 0cpu when idle

it works fine on my HTC Touch. But the incoming voice is a bit low. Can we do something for this.. Please help...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] doolla:
Thank you very much

Dear Slothie,

This ACR 1.2.3 is very much helpful for me. I have a small issue with my mobile now. The incoming voice is a bit low compared to outgoing? is there any patch available for the same.

Thanks in advance.. Great job once again!!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] adempozhari:
sort by date... it will be harder if you want t copy all the file from a certain contact.... i think the filename is ok...

this app helped me and saved my ass a lot of time in my work... people who lied to me were very impressed that i just took my phone out and played the phone conversation who we had a month before...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kubeb:
I don't thinsk that you've undterstood me.

your point is my point exactly. I want to find all calls from specific person but the file names all start by date and not contact.

Since the file explorer can sort by date it is useless that the file name start with date.

If it would start by person then you can sort by name to find the person or sort by date to find specific date

The old version (the one that I want)

And the recent version where I can see the name, only the date.(which I don't like)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
What I proposed in one of my past posts was to enable either an option to choose the filename sequence with simple tags (example: %datetime%_%name_%number% or %name%_%datetime%_%number%) or creating a subfolder structure ordered by these parameters (example \date\name, \name\date, \name\, \date\, whatever depth/sequence we may need), possibly both!

It would be quite an easy addition to implement, as far as my programming knowledge goes (mostly PHP lately :p)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] serpent99:
I installed this program and now the sound quality coming from the speakers on my TP2 is poor. It's full of crackles and static. I tried uninstalling it but it's still bad. What could cause this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] patohs300:
I've installed ACR by using Xperia X1.

However, as post#3 said, "Devices that only work one way", the advice is below:

This can also be because your device is only ‘half-duplex’. To solve this try the suggestions in the Devices Post.

Can anyone help me to solve the problem? I'm only able to record my own voice.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] doolla:
I need some help... I am using ACR 1.2.3 and it was working fine. I got a call and the total call time was around 20 min. Later, when I tried to listen the conversation, it is only for 3min. Is there any fix for this problem.. please help. Thanks in Advance.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] doolla:
Skipping problem in my device

I have the same problem too. I spoke for approx 20 min but the recorded conversation is for 3 min only. I did not transfer any files to my PC. I am trying to playback on my HTC touch itself. Please help me in sorting out this issue.

Disable Fast sleep during call

Hi, As per you post I have installed advanced configuration tool on my HTC Touch and tried to disable Fast sleep during call. But, I didnot find that option. What do u suggest?

I have downloaded and installed Advanced configuration tool V3.3. Please help me.

Doolla
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] doolla:
For all who tried Advanced configuration tool and unable to disable Fast sleep option during call, please download nosleep cab in XDA forum. It is very helpful and works with HTC Touch GSM.

Doolla
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
While I'm not really here I've just posted a new version of Outlook Importer and ACR HD for those brave enough to try them. Outlook Importer should handle dates better but if the previous version worked then you won't need to update.

ACR HD has had a few things touched up but I haven't tested it longer than a day yet. Off the top of my head....

1. Calls are recorded unless you choose not too for that contact. Well Asked anyway

2. Contact now have three options, Record, Don't record or Ask after the call.

3. Call Option Form has had an overhaul, Delete should now work.

4. Call Option Form should show more data correctly.

5. Ask Form should work properly now too.

I've read threw the posts and I've got a few new ideas coming that might help some in the near future.

1. Click on the contact picture in Ask or Call Options forms will display a detailed form on that contact.

2. Adding a disable Fast Sleep button (Might not work for all devices but this program is only for the HD anyway)

3. General overhaul of the Options Form.

Anyway for those that have problems I have a really bitter pill for you, it goes a little like this... I can stay here and answer a never ending stream of questions or I can go and get a cold drink out of the fridge and finish Mass Effect 2... What would you do if you where me?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
...if I were you I'd wait for assassin's creed 2 to get to the pc instead :p

Anywho, I'm among those who have to make do with the tiny incoming voice on the HD2, yet that's not the biggie since it's still audible and useable... I just notice that sometimes the ACRbase process will close for no apparent reason, and I only realize when I go check the recorded files and there's nothing for the last calls.

I still vote for the subtree structure with Date/Userid/Whatever in the path... obviously after you finish whatever addicting games you may be playing :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I'd like to know if the two nosleep cabs in these forums (changeing some registry values included HTCAPM ones) work with HD2 as well.

The only reg key that I already have in my registry that is changed by those cab is "[...]\Phone\Sleep", all the others are missing...

I can prevent the call from going to sleep by deactivating the automatic sleep altogether... but it seems to drain the battery faster on normal use, that's why something that disables sleep only during calls would be super.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kulen:
how does disable fast sleep affect battery life?

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Mostly unifluent... simply the CPU would be running for all the time the call lasts... I just would like to know if the existing nosleep cabs work flawlessly on the HD2. I'm too lazy to experiment myself I know :p

I tried disabling the sleep completely on the device (from power setting, I disabled "put the device asleep after X minues of inactivity") but it apparently kills the battery fast if you have it in your pocket and the buttons get randomly pressed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
I'm under the impression that the device has two main parts. The Phone and the 'CPU' for want of better works. When a call is opened the Phone stays active but the CPU will go back into a low power state. As ACR uses the CPU to record what is going though the Phone then it must be active or else the call will only be recorded until the CPU goes back into the low power state.

The problem I have is what works on one device wont work on another. I am still looking for the magic bullet that will work on all phone but its not looking good. The HD2 is a good example, because its a different chip to most others what worked for the others might not work for the HD2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rdelsol:
“ACR only records the first minute of the call?” This is because you have ‘fast sleep’ enabled on your device. Try something like Advanced Configuration Tool to disable fast sleep.

Hi Im using the call recorder on my touch2 it is working fine and great. I would just like to ask where exactly in the Advance Configuration Tool can I Disable the fast sleep?

CAN SOMEONE ASSIST ME MANY THANKS

Windows Mobile service

Hi, Slothie,

What about to modify ACR to run as a service?

More information about Windows Mobile service here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485526
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
yup, that's how I understand the situation... and in fact, if I disable "automatically put the device to sleep when inactive for XX time" (or something on those lines, my device is in italian) I have no problems during long phonecalls, and everything is recorded but I seem to have higher battery drain... but I didn't try to use the nosleep cabs because all the registry keys they change are not already there, so I doubt it will work on the hd2...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
That Sir is an exellent idea. Does this help with the no sleep though?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dobrin.dobrev:
I don't know if this will help with no sleep but an application as ACR that has to run all the time is better to be a service.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vorob:
Hello,

I’ve got HTC Diamond 2 with latest official firmware 2.16.411.3 RUS, I’m Russian, so it’s also in Russian :) I’m using ACR HD Version 0.0.12.CAB as I understand it’s the latest version for phones with HD screen. I’ve got few problems, you can see them here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYyt2XOrxME

So after my phone is restarted, I see some strange warning messages instead of HTC interface, and after every call I’ve got error message about ACRASK. Any way to disable this warnings and to fix this error? Also in settings screen font is too big, even my save path can’t fit :)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5020311/IMG_8589.jpg
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Ok the strange warning message is just to protect those that are getting their calls recorded without their knowledge. If you click close it will go away. It only comes up when ACR starts.

As to the error you are experencing with ACRASK the easiest way to get around this is to set the contacts you want to record in the contacts form. If you click on a contact the state (icon on the left) will change, One is Record the Contacts calls. Another is don't record the Contact and the last is Ask after the call if you want to record that call. The default state is to Ask for all contacts that you have not set otherwise.

What happens is ACR will launch ACRASK (A seperate program) after the call has finished and if the user chooses the call is deleted. Otherwise the call is left as is.

Anyway ACR HD is what I currently run on my phone but no one else is testing it at the moment apart from you (Thank you very much) so its still a little buggy. If you could next time instead of clicking Quit when the error happens you could click debug instead and post the image but here (Don't worr if its in Russian) I would be very greatful and I will fix the error for you properly.

My appologise if this answer is not really 'russian friendly' but ironically I drank way to much vodka last night and I'm not really feeling the top of the world at the moment.

hi sir please any news for hd2 testing and results <i promise any one found a sol for hd 2 recording i will donnate with 75 euro ,because i decided to sell it if no way to record in both way >i already bought hd2 when launched with 1200 $ and now i bring and using omnia 2 while hd2 on shelf of un used devices <

really its a shame itself,

oh my god if already know that no way to record on hd2 before buying it ,im really not bringing it although without money!!!!!!!!

rgrds
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I do own an HD2, is the HD version suitable for my phone, in order to test it?

I mean, just out of curiosity, what are the advantages over the plain ACR version? And how the screen resolution is e requirement since the app runs in background?

Also, can I set it to record every call without necessarily having to set manually the "to be recorded" contacts? (as ACR 1.2.3 does)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
@hasan_abeer Have you tried the latest official ROM? I don’t own the device but I am hearing conflicting rumours that the new ROM enables call recording?

@ephestione ACR and ACR HD are pretty much the same thing when it comes to the guts of the program. Well in relation to recording anyway. The difference between the two is that ACR HD has a newer interface with better options. I tried to create finger friendly controls that scroll with a flick of the finger, I added the ability to choose who to record or not. Also I added the form that plays the call back to you.

The requirements are more of a guideline only. To be honest I got jack of answering the same questions over and over about other devices I don’t own. It really cut into the time I could spend developing so I made ACR HD an app that ‘requires’ 6.5 and a 480 wide screen. The truth be told it only requires a 480 wide screen at the moment. It should run on WM5 and it should run on any screen size as well but I need to create more than one set of graphics if I wanted to support 240 wide screens. Well I don’t intend to do this until I have finished the program as it just makes it twice as much work to do ACR HD and ACR SD at the same time.

As to your last question I can honestly say I don’t remember what version 1.2.3 does with calls but ACR HD has the option to set individual options for each contact. Of which you can choose one of three options. Don’t record that contact, Do record the contact and Ask at the end of the call. The default install option for all contacts is Ask as I intend to have the option to choose what to do with future call from that contact on the ask form but it’s not there yet. I also intend to add buttons to the options form to set all the contact to either Don’t, Do or Ask but once again it’s not there yet. Its next on the list though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vorob:
Ok the strange warning message is just to protect those that are getting their calls recorded without their knowledge.

Yes, I understand this, but if I know about this, how about to make a checkbox "show this at startup" so I could disable it, and after restart I won't see anything about it?

About error message, first of all details screen

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5020311/IMG_8652.jpg

I noticed some pattern in this error, if I call to unknown number, I’ll see this message. If I call to number which is in my phone-book, I'll see this screen after call:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5020311/IMG_8654.jpg

Concerning this screen, again font is too big and I see this wired scroll bars :) Also how about to make an option to disable this screen?

What I want from ACR is just to work in background, without any signs. Just work there and record all my calls, that’s ok :)

My appologise if this answer is not really 'russian friendly' but ironically I drank way to much vodka last night and I'm not really feeling the top of the world at the moment.

Well, everything is ok :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
In that case version 1.2.3 is for you. All it does is record the calls and thats it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vorob:

Well, not so finger friendly :)

And don't get me wrong, if i say that i need a silent work it doesn't mean I don't care if there are some options. Recorded calls manager is very useful for example.

I'm just saying that it would be good to have an option, whether you like to see all this notifications or not.

So I'm staying on HD version and looking forward for new versions. Thanks for such useful app! Saving my ass when i need to right something down and don't have piece of paper :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I answer for him: no, alas no rom at the moment allows for real 2-way recording, what I (and everyone else :() get of the other person is what comes through to the microphone from the speaker, so very low voice... a limitation for now which makes acr less effective than normal, but still the best program in its genre :p

Your clear explanation would be a great candidate to be copy/pasted inside second post of this thread ;) No more pesky users bugging you for details (everything that points to me is totally random :p)

ACR "standard" records everything promptless by default, with a checkbox to enable "ask after call", with no regards to single contacts, and that being "next on the list" for HD will definitely be a nice addition :D I like to be able to "forget" the program being there and just delete call afterwards if I need space (and with this comes the request for the possibility to create a subfolder structure in ACR HD that puts the recordings in <Contactname/number>\ subfolders in the main folder set from the options.)

+1! :D

again +1 :D

@vorob

Also, when you get that error message after calling unknown contacts, do you still get the call recorded, or is it discarded? Wouldn't be much of an hassle in the first case till the new version :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vorob:
No, even with this error message call is recorded, so main function is working perfectly :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
in this case I suppose I'll give the HD version a testrun, one more tester is always useful :p

BTW which one is the latest version? 0.0.3 or 0.0.12? I know it should be obvious... but in maths 0.3 is still greater than 0.12 :D

And I am seriously doubtful here, no jokes
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vorob:

Same story for me, but in the end I thought that 12 is bigger then 3 and installed 12 :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
I'm silly. I just checked the filedates inside the CABs, and .12 is the most recent and contains more files :p

So .12 it is, as of now I am using it.

Nicer configuration interface, interesting the calls manager.

But I find that it is quite hard to "activate" the single calls lines with the touch, and I also get the weird scrollbars when I open the single call record.

Also when I playback a recording, I can see the progress bar moving but I hear no sound...
