recording voice calls - EVO 4G General

I need a way to record voice calls, both lines. I have looked into some apps that don't work so well, so i need your help.

I have never had much success with these types of apps. The best one that recorded both sides of the conversation breaks Bluetooth which is a deal breaker for me.

That it does sir but I tried it not too long ago and it didn't seem to work either. But that was a few releases ago so maybe it has changed.
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

if you dont mind, what was the name of the app?!

I would be intersted in this also

recording both sides can only be done with a modified kernal.

That's how I do it. I open up voice recorder & put call on Speaker & record call.

i honestly dont remember i tried several apps from the market, i could look to see if any of them look familiar but i move through so much stuff i cant say for suer which one it was. plus i use cm7 and this could have played a role what worked and how well it worked. sorry!!

I use CallRecorder from the market and Lithid's Freedom v8.5 kernel. Works great. I get both sides and I don't have to be on speaker phone.

Google voice, press #4 when the call connects. The best I have used.

Video Calling to PC Options Fring/Qik/Other

Now that Fring has "banned" Skype (or the other way around), is there any way to leverage the EVO's front facing camera to call a PC (or any desktop environment)? Qik will do one way video to www.qik.com, but in my experience, it's pretty bad and only does one way video...
I can't believe Google hasn't implemented this in Froyo and or Google Talk??? WTF???
I found an app a while back called iMovicha. I tested it out from Evo to computer and it worked. It does need to be installed on both Evo and computer, but so do others such as Skype.
Thx... I'll give it a shot... any other options? I'm seriously wondering why google hasn't implemented this yet...
Yeaa i agree ....google needs to make moves on this.
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk
Just tried movicha and it doesn't recognize my lenovo x301 integrated camera. So... I'm stuck. I guess I'll try my usb camera to see if it's the integrated camera or the software.
Update: I used my usb camera and it worked ok... not great... and there is no option for speaker on the evo side... so I guess you'd have to plug in a headset. By the time I take all these steps, it's not worth it.
Android needs facetime... or Google Video.
The facetime on the iphone 4 was pretty cool! Thats about it though! This evo is rid!!!

Call recording on Vibrant

Galaxy S I9000 are now able to record the call directly by internal system without using speaker and mic. The recorded voice is clear for both side.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863074
Anyone already tried this technique on our Vibrant?
Dunno if its possible on the vibrant but even if it was we would need an app that's coded for it. Right now it seems all the recording apps require mic+speakerphone.

I use the app called "Call Recorder" and have had great success with recording conversations without the use of speakerphone during the call. I recorded a sample of me calling my cell phone from my home phone. The recording quality is good enough that you can hear the caller's dialogue, and your voice will be crystal clear because it's recorded through our phone's microphone.

You're welcome man! I'm glad that someone finally believed me when I told them that the sound quality wasn't really bad at all.
Let me know how you make out with it!

Best Video Chat Solution

I've tried Fring and had choppy results. I've also tried Tango with minimal success. What's the opinion of the board as to what the best video chat solution is? I have WiFi and 3G/4G available to me so take that into consideration in that bandwidth isn't a problem. Ideally I'd like to be able to chat with my buddy in Spain via my phone to him on his computer. Thanks in advance.

2.2 and yahoo video worked flawless for me.
ooVoo works well for me. It has both desktop & phone apps, and is free. I'm on rooted stock DI18, but it should work on anything.

Well use Yahoo messenger then, both desktop and mobile do video calling but only on froyo. Anyway from what i can figure Yahoo has the most bandwidth for it because it's been working great for me with low 3g

Good looking out. I'll gve it a shot.
thyat was a good question cause ive tried tango, qik, and fring and they all suck. never tried yahoo messenger though
Got to second the ooVoo recommendation. Quality is great. I haven't tried an actual call with Yahoo, but did notice that the box showing your camera is sideways...

Second for this one. It's a much smaller footprint and better, faster video than yahoo is. The FFC rotation works the way it should, too.
The biggest question for what video chat to use is what your friends and family are using. I've spent years trying to get my parents and siblings to figure skype out and am finally getting some progress. Trying to get them to switch to yahoo or some other jazz would be impossible.
Google talk really needs to come out with video support on desktop, browser and mobile. I think they would be comfortable with that.

Touchless-control calls should use loudspeaker

What do you think?
I mean, if I'm using touchless, it probably means my hands are busy, so doesn't it make sense that when I ask my phone to call someone, the call by default is on loudspeaker. To me, it doesn't make any sense to ask the phone to call, and then still use your hands to either touch the loudspeaker button, or to grab it and speak regularly.

I am unsure of the point you are making. Regarding the loudspeaker being set to on by default there is an option to toggle the loudspeaker to off in Touchless Control settings. For them to have you speak a command to toggle on Touchless control would be overdoing it. I think that the phone you want is about 3-4 years away. I do not see why you would want to speak a command to toggle on or off the loudspeaker, it would confuse the other party.

So THAT'S why I hadn't seen it the first time!
But wait a minute... the loudspeaker is now on for EVERY call! So instead of having to turn it on every time I use touchless, now I have to run it off every time I don't? Well... still better than the previous scenario... at least now I have an actual hand available to turn it off... but still, isn't it just really logic that I'd like to place a call through the earpiece when using the phone in a normal way, and have the hands-free thing work when I'm using touchless?

If it bothers you that much then just use a bluetooth.

Just wondering, does the touchless voice control work with bluetooth?? Will it always be listening through the headset? Or will the phone still take the command directly and just relay the call to the bluetooth?

Yes it does. You can still use the "okay google now" and talk to the phone, or you can push the button on your headset, and give your command to the phone, without saying "okay Google Now".
The update I just downloaded from Google play has the option to use speakerphone

[Q] Call recording APPS

Which call call recording apps are working for you on the G2? I have tried Total Recall on a 30 day trial and it works fine. These apps can be touch and go on some phones and I'm just wondering what everyone else is using?
This one works wonders. It's free to use without any catches whatsoever. No BS and straight to the point call recording app with a few bits of extras.

No, VS980 and I do save as a wav file. Yes, both parties are perfectly clear. I've imported into Audacity and don't even need to amplify or adjust. Been using it for about a week.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I'm most likely going to purchase Total recall, just because it works so well. I will check out the other apps before my 30 day trial ends.

I'm trying out Total Recall as well (thanks to your recommendation) and it seems to work flawlessly! I've only recorded one call so far, but if it works this well on every call I will be purchasing too. It records both voices crisp and clear with equal loudness. Thanks!
I have tried call recorder by skvalex. working fine. clear audio both sides

+1 this app is jam up... Cheaper than total recall and allows me to delete all files older than x days so I'm not using up memory needlessly!
Could have save some money and flashed AEON. Call recording is built into the rom. :thumbup:
If you want a basic boring rom flash something else. We don't do basic here.
AEON v3
FYI: Recording phone calls in certain places in the world without the other parties consent can be against the law, http://lifehacker.com/5491190/is-it-legal-to-record-phone-calls
