Samsung Galaxy S - Call recorder confirmation ??

Ok mishoboss, I've been following your diligent research for an Android phone w/ a true Call Recorder that works from the line, & not just the speaker.

It seems your search has led you to the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S.

So I'm anxious to hear what your experience is when you purchased, & which specific model/firmware & Android OS version you purchased, and then if/how you got Call Recording to work?

Please share your experience, your posts here on xda-developers as well as on Google Code have been most appreciated.

Looking forward to your next post.

Much Thanks! :)

I'm hoping that since the new Samsung "Tab" is also an extension or part of the Galaxy S product line, that your (hopefully) success w/ Call Recording on the SGS i9000 will apply to the "Tab" also?

_____________________

mishoboss -> So, it works! This is really great news! To be honest I was a little skeptic. I'm going to buy myself one Galaxy next week! :)

999phonebug -> Thanks! Look likes the SGS's radio firmware has proper support for the relevant API:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mishoboss:
Hi ynotnow, I have answered you to your other post in the Google Code page.

To all others - a friend of mine did some tests with i9000 and call recording definetly works. Not every app is working right, so you have to try several apps to find one that works. He didn't tell me which apps he tried (he is not very geeky), so I can't tell you which works and which not. I'm going to make a serious apps research once I get my own i9000 (I hope to be soon).

With a SGS, in order to record calls clearly, you just need a quiet (acoustic) environment. Then bouth sides should be recorded fine using the phone as usual, without speakerphone or handsfree.

Anybody with Desire HD? If there's any, please make some tests with some call recording apps. There is a (small) chance they could work, since Desire HD uses new generation SoC from Qualcomm. So, please TEST!

I can confirm I have the call recorder - total recall working using line in NOT speakerphone on a samsung galaxy s i9000 uk 2.2 froyo phone, I downloaded the trial to test as is expensive AND IS THE ONLY 1 THAT WORKS! Using line in not speakerphone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dmueller2:
Hi nuvzzy!

could you please post the output of the firmware update version (PDA, Modem and CSC)

The code is: *#12580*369#

If this does not work try: *#1234#

as i'm researching in call recording this would be helpful for other people as well.

thank you!

Does it work even if Bluetooth is under use?

galaxy s has it

http://forum.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-phones/36390-call-recording-galaxy-s.html

and this post is from july 2010

I think that google is holding back because of some legal issues in a lot of countries.

in fact this type of fonction is not allowed in France f.e., except if you advise the other person that you are recording their call, so the app has to be implemented in a way that it does not infringue the local rules, for france f.e. the device has to announce it before the recording is established.

They don't wan't to loose a market because of a particular function.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
AFAIK it's the phone makers' decisions, not Google. The API has been there since 1.6, but the radio firmware is not allowing call recording to happen. EXCEPT in the South Korean Galaxy S.

<rant>

I don't get it, Nokia makes phones with call recorders since years ago, and my Treo did it long before Android and iPhone hit the market.

Some may say it's not legal to record phone calls without the other party's consent. Fine, I understand that in some places, it's exactly that. But what about the others? Heck, I can do with a call recorder that says "the call is now being recorded", but no! We can't even get it. If one says it can be circumvented in some ways, then I say you can also use a phone to hit and kill someone, so are we going to ban all phones??????

Furthermore, there are some call recording providers, and one of them is called Google Voice. Yes, you can record the call if it's placed through Google Voice. And it comes with a nice regular alert IIRC that alerts the parties that the call is being recorded.

Call recording is built into several ROMs for the HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon. I've been using it for a couple days now and it records both sides very clearly with and without speakerphone, and also with bluetooth conversations. Apparently this is the first android Verizon phone to have the functionality since the Eris.

I would encourage anybody who starts using this to donate to the engineer who wrote this kernel.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pernicus:
It's a pointless argument, even in those countries it's not illegal to have the app on the phone, it's illegal to USE it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dynamight4u:
is it still illegal when...

Many times when calling credit card companies or other call center phone lines the very first message that is relayed to the caller is "This is may be recorded for quality purposes" or something very similar...

now when one agent agrees to waive a fee or provides a promise to the customer but the customer sees a discrepancy and then a second CSR denies it when the bill arrives then what proof would the customer have? especially when the automated recording implies the call is being monitored..

I doubt companies will admit they were wrong and actually go through the recorded call or provide it since it would be in the customer's favour; but if you had the app you would also have a copy of the call to present in the case of a dispute..

there is no need to feel this is only used for purposes that are not entirely legal

essential function in my opinion

Sorry for another GPS question. I know that the GPS is meant to be inaccurate, but I can't get it to work at all with Google Maps. I always get the "Your Location is currently unavailable" message when I try to find my location with it. I upgraded to the latest firmware over KIES but that didn't fix it. It sometimes works with other apps, and the tests seem to show it connecting (if slowly and inaccurately). Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
"Your Location is currently unavailable" doesn't come from the GPS, but it comes from the Tower Network Location Service that is the other check box above the GPS settings screen

I had no blue dot in Google Maps.

I needed to disable wifi. Enable data through 3G.

I disabled 3g, enabled wifi.

All fixed now, very relieved :)

ignoring how long it takes to get my location (sometimes really fast, sometimes too long) ... it seems that it get the position using just wifi (gps ans gsm disabled), with gps, or just with the gsm on ... cool

but: sometimes i don't get my location in google maps (location unavailable!), even though i can get it in other applications that use google maps : like a tracking app ... or in google earth ... or in antennas ... etc

how can i fix this?

There is a 32 class 6 released by a company called Komputerbay. But the resulting speeds in the Amazon review are disappointing. If our phones will be compatible with sdxc, that's probably a good wait. You can get a class 4 for a decent price right now, or grab a 16gb class 10. Sucks that switching an sd is a pain in the g2.

I think the Kingston class 4 32gb was just released and is a little over $150. Class 10s are expensive, but as with everything they'll be getting cheaper with time.

There's no way (I think) of starting a call from the headset so I make it from the phone, but it doesn't transfer the call to the headset.

Am I missing something?

Try going to bluetooth setting while the headset is connected select and hold the backbeat and then choose options un-select and then re-select phone. I had the same problem, and this worked for me.

[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
A piece of hardware that was only removed because TMO didn't want it on their network is hardly a reason for someone to get an iphone. Samsung covered up the camera hole with some paint and left the mounting brackets in place. This is simply putting your phone back to the way the manufacturer intended it to be.

If people want to make video calls or take myspace pics (are they still called that even though pretty much no one uses myspace anymore?), then let them. We've got three Vibrants in the house & for $20-25 each, we can get a FFC, so I'll probably be doing this mod as well, even if I never actually use it. You'll still have something unique that 99% of the other phones out there will not have.

For the people that don't want apps sharing their GPS location without their consent (even though they gave it when they installed the app), that's a reason to go to iphone. For people that just want the phone "experience" to be magical out of the box, that's a reason to get an iphone (the rest of us LIKE that Google made it so pretty much everything is customizable).

[Vibrant General] raduque:
Yeah, too bad Samsung didn't redesign the board to fix that. The camera was removed because T-Mobile didn't think it was necessary (and I agree), and to keep costs down.

If you REALLY want the device to be "how the manufacturer intended it to be", stop rooting, flashing roms, hacking it, and do a factory reset to JFD firmware and leave it alone.

Otherwise, you're just a hypocrit.

BTW, I truly believe that an FFC is a completely useless gimmick, and nothing more than a check on the box and something for people to ***** about it not being there. Nobody thought they wanted one till it wasn't there.
[Vibrant General] orells:
Okay you wrote this because? Nothing is perfect outta the box. You get a laptop and instantly get firefox or chrome, you order food at a resturant and add salt. Who said we hated our phones cause we mod them? I like the vibrant, I also like video chat, so if I can have both why not? No one is telling you to do it, you just keep running sammy's knock off ios touch wiz and leave the customization for people who understand what android is about. Better yet get a nice feature phone so I dont have to skim past your narrow minded crap. A hypocrit posts in xda about not modding a phone. Shove off troll. Help or leave.

Edit the ffc is built onto the i9000 cam prob costs an extra $5 tops in bulk, who here would not have paid a lincoln more for there phone?

Tmo removed it so the mytouch line would be the first to get it.

Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant
[Vibrant General] raduque:
OK, yes, maybe I'm trolling a little bit, but seriously, you people didn't even know you wanted this stupid gimmick till it wasn't there.

I wrote my last post because the guy said that putting in an FFC is "returning the device to the way the manufacturer intended". Well, the manufacturer intended you to use it with the unrooted stock UVJFD rom. Anything else (all the community roms, leaked roms, rooting, flashed GPS files from leaked roms, "lag fixes", etc) isn't the "way the manufacturer intended". Seems a bit hypocritical to me.

PS: I never said anybody hated their phone. Don't put text onto my keyboard that I never typed. For the record, I'm running LP+ on JI6 with a custom-modded Framework-res.apk and "/data/data to NAND" hack. So don't tell me I don't know anything about modding a phone.
