Recording Phone Calls - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I remember a thread several months ago in which we discussed the best software for recording conversations, and how this was very difficult on WM, and which resulted in my using VITO "AudioNotes". However, I have still always had a great volume discrepancy between my own voice and that of the caller. I'm wondering if there has been any change since that discussion; can anyone recommend better software now recording calls in better quality? The major advantage of AudioNotes is that it records all phone calls automatically, unobtrusively and with no audible Beeps. But can anyone now recommend anything better?

You dont need any third party software to do so, just use the native WM recording feature. Make the following changes to your registry & U'll find the recording button in the menu during your voice calls.
To enable 2 way recording just change:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
If you want to use WM6 native recording (WAW only, on \my documents\notes, manual activation: during a call hit "record" on call menu) create:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001

Personally, I use Auto Call Record or ACR 1.2.
Google for it.

And it is AWESOME

Thanks very much guys. Sexkgp, is there a way of setting up your registry version so that all calls are recorded automatically without the need for any user intervention?

Actually no wories; I've installed ACR and I do concur, it's perfect!

acr hands down the best!
i've had acr on both my tmo tp2 and my old tmo wing. its works flawlessly, and you don't even know it their. but when you need to recall the converstion, just go to what ever file you store your recording in (sd/device) and there is every phone call you ever made; if you never delete them.
doesnt take up any room on ram, it is always hidin, and ALWAYS WORKS. lot of opions included.

I do agree, except for "lot of opions included". The options are actually rather minimal, which is a shame, but otherwise no complaints.

I think I have read about it in one of the forums, but cant recollect the post, search for it & u'll find it..

Speaking personally my leval of ability favours software over reg-tweaking, and I must say that having used Auto Call Record for a few weeks now, other than that it overloads a little (if only there was a way to lower its record gain?) it is indeed excellent and reliable.

Call recording - does Touch HD's hardware allow?

As title really.
I've done a search on the forum and it seems there is software available that will record calls, but this will only work if the hardware itself supports it. Does anyone know if the Touch HD will work with any software to support call recording?
The other work around I discovered doing a search on the forum was to put the phone into speakerphone mode and use call recording software, but this is obviously not ideal.
So, what's the best way to record calls on the Touch HD?
Thanks

You got it in one. Thats currently the only way.
Not quite
Resco Audio recorder works fine for me, once configured it collects all calls as mp3's in a folder of your choice (e.g. on sd).
it's not freeware though, but no speaker needed.
Not technically sure about the Blackstone, but I have both a Polaris and Raphael. I've seen comments about both of those phones being unable to record, yet I've never had a problem recording with VITO Audio Notes (without using the speakerphone trick). It's also a commercial product. If both of those phones can do it, I would suspect the Blackstone is probably also capable.

@speed_pour,
Please can you explaine the speakerphone trick, I also use vito audio notes! Today I see this trick, without using the speakerphone, for the second time also in this post, but I have no idea how it works!
I can only record both voices when I activate speakerphone in settings, if I don't, I only can record my own voice during a call????!!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Don't know what to tell you, I just made a call 5 minutes ago on that phone, and without turning on the speakerphone it's still got both voices on there. The other side's voice is much lower volume, but it can't be sound bleeding over because it also works when I'm using a bluetooth headset.

2 Way Recording on Iolite (free!)

I've been searching for this feature a while ago and didn't find any free, working solution and even those payed ones seemed to be far from perfect. Today, I did the search again and realised that a very nice solution have shown up few months ago.
Seems to be working fine with Iolite (default ROM), even the version with "Record" option in call menu. Looks like it is also quite clean way as the main part is just a registry edit.
So, if you don't know it yet, here are links:
[*] 2 Side Voice Recording on Kaiser **WORKS**
Call recording: official list of supported models & ROM versions
Article that led me to the solution back on xda-dev - thanks Google
Btw, there might be some legal (and ethical) issues with the call recording. E.g. in my country, recorded party has to be informed about this. Still, it can be very helpful when taking notes would be too slow or dagerous (when driving...).

Incall Recording

I found a cab file on this forum enable call recording on HTC....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515446
I installed but nothing happen, any bros can using it well on Jade/Touch 3G?
Did you soft-reseted your phone after?
You might try installing a audio recording software like vito audio notes in your phone, it has the option to record the calls.
Without any registry changes I can hear perfectly my voice, the voice of the caller can be heard only if it's quiet around you, if it's a noisy place you will record the noise too and it's hard to understand anything from the recording.
On the Rhodium thread is the following tweak available, it might work on jade too:
To enable 2 way recording just change:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
and you'll be able to record with any software.
If you want to use WM6 native recording (WAW only, on \my documents\notes, manual activation: during a call hit "record" on call menu) create:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
Don't forget to turn off (and on again ) the device after you modify/create the keys.

Automatic Call Recording

Is there a way to automatically record all calls made to or from the phone? I would like something that would also email the recordings to my email address to prevent the memory on the phone from being used up with this.
Just Curious
Russ
I use a program called Vito Audio Notes Touch and it has an option to auto record calls. The interface of the program is very basic and it works well on a touch screen phone. I was also surprised at how good the recording quality is on the TP2 with this application.
Thanks, that looks good, I will try it out and see!
If anyone should know of a free alternative, please let me know!

i have been using this app acr for a couple of months now, on the t-mobile wing and t-mobile tp2, and it works perfect look no further this is what you want. it lets you record incoming and out going call and store them anywhere(on device mem, or storage card). if you let some one use your phone no one will ever know that their being recorded.
and on that note on my t-mobile tp2 with stocked rom, when i make a call and it is going through i just press menu and i have a opion on the menu that says record and it does. this one you need to actative it your self!!!
but the acr app (the one above it does it by itself)
hope this helps all
This software is working wonderfully for recording, now if I could just get it to email the files to me
This is definitely a good answer to this issue though.

In Call Recording Activated in the Reg.

Hi, all. Last night I came across a couple of reg setting's that added an extra option when making a phone call.
Here is the main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Change value from 0 to 1.
Also change to the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Reboot phone.
Then make a Phone call then press right softkey (Menu) and Record appears as an option. Press it and the phone plays a sound (indicating beginning of recording) and phone returns to normal in call screen. When call is hung up or you press stop recording in the menu. Another sound plays. Go to notes under My Documents on Phone and there is a time and date stamped audio file.
I have not fully gone there with this yet as I'm at work (long weekend/ 8am sat till 6pm Mon) But will let you know of any progress as and if I get any.
Bye for now.
Phil
Note
Sorry for basic path error, I'm working right now and am just popping in from time to time. Sorry once again.
Diigibio,
I believe the other registry keys to be modified may be the following:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"RingingAdressId"=dword:00000000
[HKLM\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Nonetheless, despite these modifications, it appears that the recording is not totally perfect with some software, such as Vito Audio Notes Touch (the voice of the callee is too low)
...
Thanks for posting this. Needs to get added to the hints and tips sticky.
The key is actually at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR on my HD2
Cheers,
tried it on a German stock 1.43 ROM, RECORD option does not appear in the menu even after soft reset.
And BTW, the correct path would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Best regards
GZ
Graf,
Try this cab.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
It works on my HD2.
Also it only appears in the menu once a call had been started. This id built in to rom without external programlike vito or Resco recorders. When I'm able to get my laptop out, I'll post a screenie.

I installed "2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording cab" and it still didn't work on mine. It only records the incoming voice. Should i have tried "2_Way_Recording" cab instead ?
I tried ACR, Resco, Vito. Always the same bug :\
I've got the official ROM.

Did you also make the changes in the registry as mentioned above?
Normally during a phone call you can go into the menu and check 'recording'.

No i haven't, but i will. Can you confirm me i took the right CAB ? There are two.
Do these reg tweaks apply onlu for the built-in Windows Mobile recording option ? I'm looking for one which does the job automaticaly (not the case of this one apparently). So i wish to use Resco.
I remember this reg tweak back with the Blackstone. I tried it on the HD2 but the sound quality is very low and poor. Is there anything else that can be done to improve it? Once all is good I will add to hints and tips thread.

tboy, thanks.
That would be very helpful.
The above registry tweaks do work, and phone conversations can be recorded. The only thing we shall improve is the low sound quality.
There must be a registry for the volume level too.
So. . .
I have done this tweak on my device,
with all the additional info and Reg Changes also.
The recording of my voice is crisp and clear, while the recording of the other person is very weak (low volume) and noisy.
I think I read on another thread that someone else encountered a similar problem.
So my question is - is there anything else I should do to improve the recording quality of the other person ?
Is there anyone else still having the same problem ?
Thanks.
I too have done the various reg edits and although it seems to work (there is a record option when making a call, a sound plays and a file is generated) the output file doesn't contain either outgoing or incoming sound!
I had to create the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice" since it didn't exist, I wonder if this has any bearing on the matter?
I also initiated recording before I was connected to the other end, maybe that's my problem.
I will try only activating record once I'm connected and I will also give that cab a whirl, and report back
il be keeping an eye on this one,
Let us know if it works, and on both sides !
Cheers.

Steps I took
Hey all,
I though I'd give this a shot. I changed the Main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR from 0 to 1.
However I didn't have the folder/key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice So I created it!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
It all seems to work, the menu option appears and I get the sound when recording starts, however it's very quiet.
One way around this is to put the phone on load speak. Then the recording is clear.
Hope this helps.
S
Does it work if you only edit EnableICR 0 to 1 or do you have to create Voice folder and these 2 reg keys, for which we are not sure if are working because we dont alerady have them originally?
