Call Recording Options/ Alternatives for N986U and N986U1 Devices - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

I have had my U.S T-mobile unlocked N986U device for a while now and quite enjoy using it. Apart from wishing it had a bit better battery life (Who doesn't?) and missing bluetooth codecs (aptX) it's as close to perfect as any handset I've ever owned. This brings me to the one feature that I truly need and miss quite a bit- Call recording. This is one where I honestly can't really place the blame on Samsung's feet since google removed the API starting in Pie affecting all android users out there.
I thought I'd start this thread for users to share their workarounds and ways that they've implemented to include this feature in their U/ U1 devices. What have you tried and what has worked and not worked.. Which third party apps have disappointed you and which ones only record one side of the conversation etc..
The good and the bad as they say.. Hopefully there's an option out there even if it's not perfect..

ACR from galaxy play store. It work pretty good for over the headset calls. It is hit or miss over Bluetooth. You will have to play with the settings to get it perfect as I still am doing but it does work.

Is it this same one on the google play store? Do you use it on your U1 device and does it record both sides of the conversation well when using the headset outside of bluetooth?

Yes and yes. I used on U and U1 device. Records fine as long as you are using headset and not Bluetooth.

No dice. I tried recording 5 different regular calls on the t-mobile network and it did not pick up a peep... just absolute silence. I made sure my wifi and bluetooth were turned off as well. I'm on the latest t-mobile march update that just enabled e-sim.. Could that have broken it?

I dont know why its not working for you. Did you enable it in Accessibility->Installed Service? I just checked and all my calls are recorded with the exception of the bluetooth calls which I can hear myself but the other party is very low if even heard.

I have version 33.5. I cleared cache and when that didn't work I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still silence. Now I don't see it under my accessibility settings nor any way I can add it on there.
The wierdest thing is the first time you install it, there is a notice that says it might not work properly on my phone and that I should install "ACRPhone our new free call recorder etc..." Choosing that takes you to a completely different app and I'm not willing to go there from what I've seen so far..

I had same issue. Uninstall and install from galaxy store

Is modification of "cscfeatures.xml" file still an option to enable native call recorder?

That was it. I uninstalled the 33.5 newer version from the google play store and installed the prior version 33.3 which shows as the current one from the galaxy store. Immediately this version allowed me to add it to my accessibility settings and It was all good from there.
Moral of this story- DO NOT update to the latest version as long as everything works
Time to dive in and start getting familiar with this app..

Not that I know of and I've been on the N20 Ultra forum from the beginning...
I hope others will chime in with alternatives... although at a first glance everything looks really good with the older version of ACR, I'm not sure how long it'll continue to work.

What about FireFDS via EdXposed to activate NCR? Anyone already tried?

Great.. Do you have it working on a U or a U1 device? Apart from not working over wifi, how is the overall call quality? Does it pick up voice/ sound from the other party equally well? Does it also work over bluetooth/ wired headsets and VOIP services like Viber and Whatsapp? Lastly, can you share a link and the app version you're on?

I have a U1 device and yes it works on both up and down stream. I haven't gotten around to testing on Bluetooth, though. I'll give it a shot and report to you on how it works.

After everything was working blissfully for a while there it stopped working about a week ago. All my recordings are dead silent now. I noticed that mine had automatically updated from ver. 33.5 to 35.0. I checked both the google & sammy play stores to see if I could revert back to the older version but they're both showing ver 35.0
Is yours still working?

Skype on Vogue

ok i heard about problems with it. Will it work>>???
I am using .18 mentioned in these references. works fine on sprint touch

.18 does have a little clicking noise on the cellphone side but the other side doesn't hear it.
I tried the newer versions today and none of them work.
rings once then nothing happens.
so how does it work ??? like you have a bar on the homescreen, and you can login and use skype out like VOIP??? THis will allow for unlimited calls! WOOT WOOT WOOT!
lol
basically all the calls out, i will use that to never have to use minutes
LEET
only i could get WIFI.
that would be sweetnewss!
Just be careful, as this could violate you terms of service with you provider.
I know that Bell Mobility explicitly prohibits the use of VoIP services over it’s data network.
i dont think sprint does?? besides ok, anyway is this wifi card any good>
yes I think I'll call sprint and ask them if it's ok... well maybe not

will we know if anything new comes out that works?

Make/Rcv Phone Calls Sipdroid including video conferencing

I dont know if you guys already know this but if you are kind of annoyed by switching or waiting around for the firmware to have phone enabled. You can tried this anyway:
1. sign up for google voice if you haven't already, install apk
2. dl sipdroid from the market.
3. create an account and allow it associate with gv.
4. follow this guide
http://ifdefined.com/blog/post/How-...ee-calls-over-the-internet-using-Android.aspx
Note: The guide is only for receiving calls .
when you start the guide you should see GTALK under Trunk, / under inbound, 0 GTalk under outbound. You need this for out going calls.
if ipkalls says you already signed up that means someone already used your ISP ip address.
once you are done you should be able to make and receive calls with 3/4G or wifi...edge is kind of crappy
BTW, you can disable it under settings calls Call Screening and toggle off and confirm...so you dont have to dial 1 anymore just pick up the phone and use you BT headset.
enable 3g in sipdroid settings and now you have a phone
This also works on other tabs as well. I tested it on Galaxy Tab Tmobile(simple mobile), Galaxy Tab Sprint(wifi), Archos 101 (wifi), Zenithink wifi, Haipad wifi, and a Wifi'ed G1 works great.
bluetooth sucks on 3G

Actually I use bluetooth and it works just as good on 3g as wifi while driving even. Any problems with call quality are the result of a poor 3g connection, not bluetooth.
Seems like it forks with a2dp
Alternatively, you can use fring once you are done with setup. Go to add ons and add sip info.
You can uninstall gv so you dont have to have so many dailer options

Ah, Im not using an A2DP headset at the moment, but a Voyager Pro, which is working great with every phone Ive used it with.
I've tried doing a video call using sipdroid and the image was on its side. Did they update this?

The front facing camera seems bounded to portrait. I do not see any options on display it in landscape. I somehow fat fingered and got the other camera to function

Unlocked S8 (SM-G950UZ) on Verizon

I have searched (there are a few threads pertaining to this, but no definitive answer pertaining to my only question)
Bought the wife an unlocked S8 from Samsung, everything works well on Verizon that is to be expected, EXCEPT video calling using Hangouts or Duo. I have changed the mobile data to LTE/CDMA from global but doesn't change anything. Everytime we try to video call, it never connects and something pops up mentioning an error with the network. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or 4G.
Can anyone confirm that ANY video calling with an unlocked S8 doesn't or does work on VZN?
Can anyone think of possible fixes?
Is my only option to follow the instructions on this thread? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/unlocked-galaxy-s8-samsung-flashing-t3669156)

I have read yesterday that a user had issues with Youtube, where the video would play for the first 5 to 6 seconds, then stop. The issue seems to be connected to network error of some sort. I am with T-Mobile using unlocked s8 and no issues at all with network or other apps that rely on data.

Whatever the problem is it has nothing to do with your carrier if it doesn't work on wifi as well. Also duo has nothing to do with any calling options as it's a purely internet service. I promise you if no s8s could watch internet videos at all someone would have noticed lol
This all likely indicates an issue with the phone, or with your home network and with your phone. Take it to where you got it or some other VZW help place and ask for help

Thanks guys, you got me thinking and tried a video call with WhatsApp, and it worked both on WiFi and 4G. So I think my question has been answered, but has led to other questions now, like why is Duo and Hangouts not working.... I've checked each permissions......anyway, I guess that is for another thread. Thanks for getting me here.

You're welcome
It's q/a section I don't see why we can't continue here....
Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling them?
Also do you have another Google account to test with? If so try adding it to your phone (under settings -> accounts) and then login to duo/hangouts with that account and try.
Also how are you testing it? Video chat 1:1? hangout? If it's 1:1 direct, how are you initiating it? You call them or they call you?

So I figured why would WhatsApp video (yes, 1:1) work and not hangout/duo unless it's a different protocol...which led me to think what could be blocking one and not the other which made me think about about my ad-blocking app 'Block-this!' I turned that off and magically, Hangouts and Duo worked flawlessly.....ugh.
Gah, n00b mistake.

Wear24 incoming calls

So far it seems everything works as it should with my watch but I do not get notifications when an incoming call comes through to my cell. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Also I'm not connected VIA SIM card and don't plan to do so. Any help is appreciated!

For anyone who may run into this. Note this is only for those who don't activate the LTE sim and add to your plan
- factory reset
- let AW update to latest
- update all apps
- disable SIM
- DO NOT SETUP THE CALL SETUP APP
Hi,
I have the exact issues of calls not notified.
Are the update (last part) of your post the fix for it?
Thanks!

Yeah give those steps a try. It takes some time because you have to let things update. I'd suggest trying to get your WiFi setup so it can use that to update and keep your Bluetooth off until it's done otherwise it'll try and do so through Bluetooth and that's just too damn slow.

Awesome. Now you get to enjoy all the perks. Only thing you can't do is take a call with the watch. Honestly I don't see a good use case for that anyways. My use case is to be able to ignore calls without having to pull my phone out. Very handy in meetings.

Yes! Thanks for your help!
The main use for me is similar: being able to see who's calling and decide if I want to reach for my phone
Also, I just realized the way the watch is connected matters to call notification as well. Hope it wasn't something everyone else already knew:
I found out watch screen notification for calls will only work when airplane mode is turned off (even with sim disabled) and watch is connected to the phone through bluetooth. Wifi on watch wouldn't do the trick. If airplane mode is on, the call screen will not come on no matter what type of connection there was.
According to some users, using only BT connection saves battery life anyway!

I'm not sure what the conditions are, but I'm getting incoming call notifications on my wear 24, and I run in airplane mode with all radios except Bluetooth turned off...
Make and receive calls
After phone is setup and no calls or incoming calls that's all I found you do was go to settings, apps, system apps, Verizon messages app and disable and then enable and back to main screen click calling setup and 911 address page comes up click address to use and you should see phone calling activated pop up on screen and should then be able to make and receive calls but you'll need to connect earbuds or headset because Mic was disabled after 2.0 update. Hope this works. I did notice the first time doing this you have to click on remove updates.

Wifi Calling on PH-1

I have enabled Wifi Calling on my PH-1 and I know for a fact that my carrier supports it. It works fine too, but it's set to "Mobile Preferred". I chose this setting because my Wifi isn't too reliable. However, whenever I call, it uses Wifi even though I am getting LTE+? Is there any way to fix this?
Does anyone have any idea? I have looked all over the internet but have not found any solution? Could it possibly be my carrier?
When I try to enable wifi calling, my launcher crashes. So you are one step ahead of me

Not that I know of. I don't think they would look at your WiFi calling settings if sent out for repairs. Once you install Oreo open market firmware just relock the bootloader, setup your phone including TMobile WiFi calling settings. Once you update to Pie they shouldn't be able to tell anything because all different variants use the same firmware and your bootloader will be locked encase you send your phone out for repairs.
The other option is to use Google Voice. WiFi calling works great on it.

No, your carrier number will change. The port to GV takes approximately 24 hours. So you have to deal with a GV assigned number for a day. After that though you have your regular old number. I barely even know my new Verizon number as I don't give it to anybody. I figure this way, I'll never have to worry about WiFi calling or who my carrier is again.

I like having a different number for when I do mechanic work, don't want to get calls for every little thing at different times of the night, specially when it's unrelated to what I fixed lol
I have the same problem. Set my wifi calling to Mobile preferred but sometimes my calls use wifi calling even when I have cellular reception. Please let me know when you find a solution.
and I think it's funny that nobody addressed your original issue.

I have the same issue. It was working fine on Oreo. I tried flash.all fastboot using the stock firmware without success. Let me know if you have a solution. Ty
Edit: I got it fixed by flashing flashall back to stock Oreo 8.1 open market from Essential website then let it updated OTA to Pie and my WiFi calling still working fine.
Updated 10/22
My WiFi stopped working again after I turned it off but I can't turn it back on just like before. Any time I tried to turn it on the phone app forced close.
Considering thanks to T-Mobile's wonderful coverage (says I have good signal strength, but it's not) I have Wi-Fi calling enabled all the time and it works well on the 5Ghz ac side of the router...not so well on the 2.4Ghz b/g which is fine. Again something carrier specific. I went to Pie and kept the WiFi calling running.
