Call recording (in line)

Hi!
Just got a N1 today!
Could someone please suggest a calls (voice) recoder that make GOOD recording of BOTH parties during conversation.
There's a trick on WinMo that let's you record the other person's voice in-line, not from the mic, thus making it very well heard. Then on top of that HTC In Call Recorder or anything else can be used.
Basically what do I need to do to record calls clearly on N1?
Thank you!

Google Voice has the ability to record calls. Sounds great, too. If I had an invite, I'd shoot you one.

win-win?

Can you explain why Google voice is advantageous for you? I understand its features, but I dont see why so many people are switching to using it. Do you use its benefits all that much? If so, which ones?

Thank you for the invite, but I indeed need to use my own mobile number. Any apps that don't record from the mic, but straight from the line?

Droid Recorder

I send texts via google.com/voice...I record some of my phone calls, as needed for work...
I keep trying to come up with some reason why having multiple numbers attached to my one phone is advantageous...but I can't.

There is no "Droid Recorder" in the market. There is Recordoid, but it records from the mic and not from the line directly

vRecorder ?

One of the comments in adrolib: "Well, just installed the apparently on nexus1. Auto record works fine however, I can only my voice get recorded and not the other side."
So far I haven't found an application that makes records directly from line and not from the mic

Ok. Thanks for the responces. Will stick with Topaz for now, will use N1 as a backup

Google Voice or recording from speaker are not satisfactory options for me Will wait for ROMs/programs that will be able to do it in the future.

WhatsApp sound problem

Whenever I send an audio note (by holding down the microphone icon), in Whatsapp ... the audio seems to come out in a low volume. When I play my own recording back on my phone, I have to pump up the media volume to the max to hear myself at a decent level. The other party on the other end seems to find the audio low in volume as well.
The strange thing is, if I create an audio file with the built in Sound Recorder, and then share that to Whatsapp, it's loud and clear. It's not like my microphone is broken. Audio records fine in all other circumstances.
I know many friends thats happen the same with same phone

Just tried this out on a Snapdragon 800 Note 3 running 4.3. I am unable to replicate the issue, however the quality is noticeably worse than what it would be if I used the built in sound recorder. This is because WhatsApp compresses what you are sending though, which might be what you are experiencing.

It might just be worth re-installing WhatsApp? It could be an error caused by a recent update that only manifests when you update from an older version.

Everything still the same

I've changed my mind, I agree with you, the audio quality is awful. This is obviously an issue with the WhatsApp application, but as I state before I'm now 100% sure it's the audio compression, it doesn't work well. It sounds like I'm underwater!

Please report to Whatsapp department

Will do, the more people we can get to report this the quicker the issue should be solved.
Furthermore, if you use Snapchat have you noticed that you cannot record video for the full amount of time? It cuts it around 5 seconds short, you might not use it but it's just something I've noticed.

At the moment all you can do is report it to the WhatsApp support team here It isn't a problem with the Note 3, it's a problem with WhatsApp itself.

The Sony Xperia Z1 seems to suffer from a similar problem, if not the same. I also reported the issue to the WhatsApp support team.
I will report back if I receive feedback.

I received a confirmation email, telling me to look at the FAQ and if required to provide additional information. Since neither the WhatsApp FAQ held any related information and I provided all the details I know of, I thought there's no further action required.
I attached a voice recording sample in my first inquiry, which lead to whatsapp.zendesk.com. I quickly created an account (in my case just requested a password), verified my mail address and was able to see my request.
It was in the status "Awaiting your response >>" *head against the wall* ... So I sent another note, this time in English (sent the first in German language). Let's see what happens next.

Did you re-use the request ID you got by mail or did you open 6 separate tickets? Have you had a look at your request(s) at whatsapp.zendesk.com and if so, what's the status?

That's great! The more people report the issue, the higher the chances of getting some attention.
Have you sent a second mail after receiving the initial "Request receipt" confirmation? Apparently if one doesn't, the ticket is placed in status "Awaiting your response".
I doubt it will be processed but closed automatically after after a few days, if no further reply is received, because one of the three suggested FAQ topics supposedly solved your problem, it was 'just' a feature request or whatever ideas are behind the way of handling email requests that way. At least that's what my experience with other support sites / help-desks has taught me...

7 days ago, on Feb 7th I received another email from WhatsApp support. Unfortunately it was a busy week and I managed to reply just yet. The ticket was again placed in "Awaiting your response"...
I will continue to post my experiences with the WhatsApp support team in the Sony Xperia Z1 area of the forum.

This has been fixed now, WhatsApp acknowledged the issue and have repaired it.

Send Whatsapp messages from Wearable

Hello, I have a G Watch, and I know you can answer Whatsapp messages with it, but what about sending one when nobody actually did? i.e. begin a conversation or tell someone you're late without needing that person to tell you nothing.
I hope you can help me.
And no, not going to use SMS or other platforms. If it's not possible, please say so.

Nobody knows how to help me? D:

Hi LoTableT, it was my mistake.
After you told me that, i had realized that i didn't mention in the description that after the installation you need to restart the watch.
I've tested alot my app but i only have 1 watch to do the testing.
Since you already bought the app, please try to download it again(in a few hours will be active again in the playstore), root the phone and restart the watch after the installation, then all should work perfectly.
And offcorse, if you have any kind of problem you can contact me, I will be happy to help.
Thank you for everything.

Hmm than it probably will in the future, they must have updated the kernel for that to work.
For "real buttons" : do you have TouchPlus option on your Huawei p8 max? There are screen protectors for P8 that have buttons in them, with those screen protectors you can disable on screen buttons. But i dont know if they are available for Max, havent found them

Yes. I'm on v018 and it's 5.1.1. I think it was released last week.
No. I don't think the phone supports double tape to wake up screen. I tried it and nothing happens. I can't find any options in settings either.
Yes. In Settings/Navigation bar/Navigation bar ENABLE. When enabled, there's an arrow on the left of navigation bar. Click it to hide the bar.

Thanks for the reply, I've now sorted it, I didn't have Google contact sync apk installed, a quick search found it for me.
The only problem with the Bluetooth method you suggested is it doesn't sync any changes, but thanks for the help anyways.
