How to record calls? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi
Tried ACR trial on my note4 and works great but does not seem to work on S7. Do you happen to know a call recording software that works well on the S7 Edge?
Thx
Phil

Try call recording by skyvalex! Google it or search it in playstore

Second Skyvalex! Been using it for a long time now, great app! However on my currently un-rooted S7E the recording is full of echoes but I have only tried the standard API method so far.

Thx for the prompt reply guys, appreciated!

If you're rooted you can activate the native call recorder by adding this line in /system/csc/others.xml (before </FeatureSet> at the end of the file)
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

It is true you can activate native recording however you have no control over it really. Skyvalex has a myriad of options etc.... the best I have come across as well as cloud support etc...

As I stated above, skyvalex has made the best app for call recording in my humble opinion

FYI, ACR works fine on my S7e including bluetooth recordings and cloud services.

Thx! May I ask which version you have? Mine always says something like 'cannot record this call. Restart your phone and if same message appears your phone might not be compliant'...

The latest ACR v. 16.7, which was updated something like a week ago as well as ACR Licence v. 1.5.

Forget the echo bit, like a **** I managed to set the sound effects to Concert Hall.... All good now!

Many thanks!

what about recording quality?
is it native API for incomming/outgoing voice with no noises or some low quality microphone?

Record yourside using your microphone, the other party shall do the same also! Microphone recording can be very accurate if you use a rooted phone. As far as I know, it's not all about API dependent.

yep, what I meant is that on some phones, where call recording is disabled in software/hardware, you are still able to record a call using some programs, but you almost not hear the person you speak with, because only thing phone records is source from phone microphone.
So when you play recording you hear only yourself and sometimes if it was quite in the room - the other side very silent, impossible to understand what is talking about.
So my question is - is call recording useful and easy to hear/understand everything what was recorded?

Do you have the S7? If so just download one (Skyvalex) from the app store and check it out yourself.....
But in Answer to your question the recording via the native API (NOT rooted) is perfect!

i don't know..
if you know tell me

Skywalex has done a good with his software, try it! But remember, rooted phones always offers more possibilities about phone calls recording.

I don't have S7, I want to buy it this week, but decent call recording is my "must be".
This is why I'm asking people, who owns already this phone if they are satisfied with call recording quality.
You said rooted phones offers more, but if I"m right - there is already root available for S7 (and Edge).

Root is already available just for Exinos versions, not for all IMHO

how can i video chat?

how do you video chat i just noticed that skype is only for calls and oovoo is not compatible...
I use the google talk app. IMO the video quality is better than Skype from my Macbook Pro. I've also heard that Gingerbread will support from a phone with front facing camera in a future update. Now the trick is just getting everyone I know to switch from Skype...
is oovoo going to release a version for honeycomb?
Anybody else notice low mic volume from the galaxy's end? Even when recording a video I can tell it's really quiet.
If Tango is available, might want to try it... You can video chat to all your punk iphone using friends! =)
Also used the Gtalk video and it works really pretty nicely. And is stupid user friendly

How was your mic volume level? I need to know to make sure it's not just my unit that's crazy quiet.

Call Recording

Hi to all.
I like to know something for my general knowledge:
When I used omega rom, I succeed to recording hi-fi (with the built recording) calls without using the speaker of my S3 .
Now I use rootbox and every 3rd apps that I use (and I used a lot) says that my phone does not support recording from the line, just from the speaker.
So I get crappy quality of recording.
What the different between Call Recording that built in roms to Call Recording apps, that make so different quality between the two?
There is any call recording mods for CM/AOKP that similar to the mods for samsung roms?
Thank you very much for Shares your knowledge.
I don't know the answer to your question. I've always used "call recorder" by skvalex and it works great but it needs the ALSA mixer installing on aosp on the s3.
Unfortunately its expensive now. It was cheaper when I bought it.
I'd buy it again. There may be a trial version.
I've never used built in ones. I've only ever used this

Thanks again for your replay.
I checked "call recorder" by skvalex , and he write on the description that the phone need to support recording from the line, and if its not:
"...the recording will most likely proceed from the microphone, not from the line.".
S3 does not support recording from the line, so its likely that I still get a crappy quality of recording, unless you tell me that you succeed to recording hi-fi calls without using the speaker, when you combine "call recorder" by skvalex and "ALSA" mixer.
The settings don't tell me what its doing.
I can't really comment on what you call crappy. Its sufficient for my needs. If you find a trial, try it.

Whatsapp voice notes, horrible quality.

Someone have the same problem?
I having this problem too! does anyone knows a fix?
The voice quality is terrible and its not the mic issue as i tested recording voice through the lg voice recorder app and it sounds great. it only happens with whatsapp.
tested with two g2's, both same problem. one custom rom, one stock.

g2 has 2 mics, 1 for recording n 1 for noise cancellation, whatsapp im guessing, uses the noise cancellation mic hence the terrible quality
+1. I have the same problem too.

So could you guys try maybe once whatsapp plus? Whatsapp services makes almost every thing smaller by reducing the quality of stuff so does maybe the mic app from whatsapp. What you could also try is to Talk to both mic's you have on the device and hear if one is louder, if so then the second is probably used by whatsapp.
No news?

Guys, Change the rom

my G2 has 3 mics. I've tried covering each individually and making a voice note with little perceptible difference in quality.
I emailed whatsapp about this and obviously did not hear back from them.
why don't one of us track down their physical address and phone number and call them every week to complain? Does this interest anyone? Anyone interested?
they ignore their email inbox.
in the mean time, write a 1 star review like me. Make sure you reference "LG G2 terrible voice note quality" in the subject. here's the play store link.

I had been using ACR but just found out that the recordings it made were all SILENT. ARGH.
Now that I'm on Marshmallow ACR won't work (not that it did before...sigh).
Does the Turbo 2 support call recording?
Call Recorer by skvalex is the SH!T, ive had all the big moto phones in the last 3-4 years except the turbos and its worked perfect even w/o root, same on sammys, but the root requiring recording options are a littler higher quality. but even w/o its awsome

Can you verify that the Skvalex app records the calls while NOT using the microphone? Apps that record calls using the microphone are worthless because the microphone hears all of the ambient noise in the room you're in.

I don't think any app can two way call record unless rooted. I tried in my Moto G 1st Gen to record without root and it never did it. I maybe wrong but just my personal experiences.
Please wait for someone who really has the phone to test it, thanks.
Just Tested on both Outgoing and Incoming calls. Works Pretty good. Was a fan of ACR Premium. Now i can say JIT Call Recorder is pretty good and free. Only caveat - Wish it had a Google Drive Backup!!

Hi..
It's a request can you pls. try recording call with earphones/headphones connected and tell me whether this app then records the calls or not?
Also, is there an option in this JIT Call recorder to directly save the recordings in the external sd card?

Kindly help me bro by checking the call recording with the headphones connected..
Thanks!

Automatic Call Recorder, was working fine with bi-directional recording, until I update my phone.
Trying this app, but it's challenging. Although it works, it takes forever to open with root enabled.
so I have to set it up, and disable SU for it whenever I want to playback.
