9.0 (Pie) and call recording on Mi A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Has anyone who has upgraded to 9.0 tried call recording?
My understanding is Google has changed the operating system and basically stopped 3rd party apps from recording calls without root.
My job requires I record call so I am keen to know the Mi A1 situation before upgrading.
It has been said that some manufacturers could undo the changes made by Google and allow call recording but that it was quite unlikely as the laws vary so much from country to country, this coupled with the fact our device is Android One make this even more unlikely as we should receive "stock" android.
Would be grateful to hear anyones experience.

I updated yesterday to Pie. I have ACR Pro and in automatic mode it does't record the other side's voice :/
Actually if you are in a quiet environnement can you hear the other side but very faintly.
Hopefully someone will come up with a solution or we'll have to root the phone.

Boldbeast works
I yesterday updated to pie. I use Boldbeast recorder. To check, I recorded a call. The result was that other side was clearly audible.
P. S. Non rooted phone

Thanks for that.
I'm surprised though.
If you look at the reviews on Google Play, Bolbeast replies (to a user with a MI A2 on the 23rd of December):
Android 9.0 disabled the call recording feature, you can only record your own voice, no matter what recorder you are using in the market. You can test and confirm this fact. This app can fix the problem perfectly if you root the phone. Without root you have no solution in the world, with root this app is exactly the solution.

You say "clearly audible" but is that at the same volume as your voice ?
Because on ACR, the mic source can also pick it but at a very low volume.

Anybody tried Boldbeast using root mode?

Using Cube ACR, and voice is only audible, not loud and clear, and very hard to understand.
Boldbeast isn't working for me.
I didn't have to update to Pie, looking forward to downgrade safely for may reasons.

I've just tried Boldbeast out of curiosity...
with default settings it doesn't work, I can record my voice but not the other party.
With rooted mode and the settings described in the docs for Google Pixel (Record mode: alsa) it works perfectly.

During call neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear me.

During call neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear me.. First it was on only one sim Vodafone so i shuffled it still the problem was in slot where i have Vodafone sim. i thought it may be a network issue, but after flashing pixel experience custom rom the problem is on both the slots, neither i can hear caller's voice nor caller can hear mines.. i tried flashing different rom , tried restore through TWRP, searched many threads didn't found solution , tried sound about app but it crashes whenever i start it. also tried clearing cache of dialer app and giving all permissions, still no result.
what is working:
Micro phone is working, (used call recorder and voice recorder for testing)
earpiece is also fine, (used whatsapp call)
speaker also fine, (played music)
used headphones and hands free still same problem,
handset:
Xiaomi Mi A1
stock rom: Rooted
then flashed : Pixel experience
used aos custom rom still same problem.
if anyone know the solution please reply,

Have you ever rooted your phone and used any sound mods like viper HD..??
No, my phone is fully Stock with no modifications
You must try to flash stock rom from fastboot

I had the same problem with you what I did was Cleaning the speaker with an chewing-gum, believe me it did the job.
Have to try this, I found on MIUI forum, that pushing the edges of the speaker by the needle can be helpful too, but you have to be careful, because if you'll push too hard, you can damage your speaker. On my phone, after that method speaker became a bit louder, but not that loud as it was in the beginning.
sorry for my english

Disable your ok google detection
1. go to app drawer by swiping up on home screen.
2. open Google app
3. goto settings
4. Search for voice and tap on that.
5. "Ok Google Detection" tap on this (if you don't see
this option you must see "Voice Match" tap on that)
6. turn all of them off, make sure that they are grey
eyed.
Make a call now:good:

Android 10 call recording

Dear developers,
Google disable call recording in android 10 india
Please help us to record call
Please tell how record without root using boldbeast or other apps
This is a question for me as well, some of the apps have to update themselves according to the Android 10 or Nokia should push patch/fix for the problem.
? Google
I am facing the same trouble but boldbeast solves the problem somehow but the voice on the other end is still too low to listen, maybe I should try loud speaker but not satisfied yet with boldbeast.. hope Nokia should release a patch for this.

After Android 10 Beta Update Problem

I somehow cannot use my mic during calls even on Messenger. They cannot hear me. But I can record on a recorder whether it is Video or just Audio.
Anyone knows how to troubleshoot?
Thanks

I would suggest you to downgrade to android 9! Otherwise you can try to change settings in Google assistant and turn on microphone...
i installed android 10 beta on ze620kl but i can't unlock bootloader with application

Same here. I will downgrade as soon as possible.
Also, camera integration doesn't work well with some apps, some settings crash and gesture navegation of AOSP it's not good as ZenUI.
In the bright side, LEVEL_3 Cam2API is finally avaliable in this version and GCam is working much better.

I searched through web and found some people saying you can make it work by turning speakers on and then off, after the beginning of the call.
Others said it works by putting headphones and taking them off, after the call starts too.
Didn't tested anyone, but hope it works!

Microphone Not Working

Hi, I have a strange problem with my Oneplus 8 Pro. After updating to 10.5.10 the microphone is not working for all the apps. I can place calls normally, call using messenger and record videos but it does not work for Google Assistant and the official Recording App or Facebook messenger when recording a voice clip. I even tried it in safe mode but still the same issue. I have also checked that the apps have access to the microphone. I reinstalled 10.5.10 hoping to fix this issue but still the same happens. What can I do? I am also rooted with magisk but I don`t have any new modules that can interfere with the microphone. The phone has previously worked normally with root so I don`t think it is the problem. Does anyone have the same issue?
So you did go all the way back to factory reset correct? If not you're going to have to do that or start uninstalling one app at a time or if you have Titanium Backup you can freeze the apps. I'm sure it's a rogue app somewhere or something got switched in your settings.
I had same problem , i got my problem solved , just blow air on mic at the bottom , and also clean it , issue will be fixed !

Also install magisk module for enabling factory mode and test the mic , go to single mic test , there you test all the three mics seperately , enjoy !
Experiencing the same problem
I'm experiencing the same problem. OnePlus 8 Pro, except it's not rooted or running magisk.
The microphone works for some applications but not for Google assistant at all. I have tried all known fixes I could find by searching. Clearing Google app cache and storage, etc.
Also I find that the first 5 seconds of WhatsApp voice message recordings I make are silent. Not sure if that's related..
Any suggestions?
Hie, even I am facing the same problem. My google Assistant was working well but after I updated, it is not responding also my official recorder app and my Instagram video call works well but videos don't have any sound ...
Have you got a solution to it? Please lemme know I am just too stressed.?

Hey @ananya_arora157. I'm not having an issue with sound playback, just sound recording. Maybe your video sound issue is a seperate one?
Just came here to also say that recently I have had my microphone working in assistant without doing anything. However it's now not working. I have this intermittent issue in other apps too, like DuoLingo. Sometimes when it asks you to speak what has just been spoken to you it works, other times it doesn't.
I'm convinced this has something to do with OxygenOS not providing access to the correct microphone for the app, or the app not using the right microphone. This happens with WhatsApp as well, as mentioned above. Please can someone on the OxygenOS or OnePlus team respond here? I've seen a few comments here and there of this happening to others as well so it's a known issue. It's a real problem with this happening to a flagship phone. Why are we just getting silence in response?
This also happened to me

This also happened to me. All microphone related applications fail for the first 5 to 7 seconds. Then it works normally. Some applications such as Camera, Messenger, ...[/U][/U][/B]
I had almost the same issue but with my last xiaomi. The reset to the factory settings didn't work for me, so I had to change the microphone.
Same here. I can make calls, and voice to text with gboard works.
But hey google, alexa and all other voice recording apps stop working since two days on my op 8 pro
I'm getting the same problem. Anyone found a fix for this?
Exactly same problem here after the OS update
Microphone is working for some apps but not for others. It was working fine earlier but stopped working for phone recorder app and for ok google..any resolutions here?
It seems to be a common issue among many others, so OnePlus team should take it into account and must provide a fix ASAP.
Might be a good idea to state what OS you're all on and perhaps what mods you have installed then maybe a coming fault can be identified.
Also if a custom kernel is installed.
I have the same issue. Phone calls and video recording don't seem to have any problem. Only voice messaging for all apps are error. Go as far as doing factory reset but it still doesn't work.
Any idea how to solve it?
I just bought it for few months and the experience is great except this one.

Yes I found the fix. After all factory resets and downgrading OS didn't worked. So I tried to blow bottom mics from dust and it started working. So stupid but effective.
Has anyone found a fix for this, I recently started having issues.
Stock cam video does not have sound.
WhatsApp cam video does not have sound.
Signal app cam video has sound.
Calls, call records, voice messages have sound.
Google assistant is working.
I am running 11.0.2.2 IN11DA. All issues are there in safe mode.
I cleaned all mics.
Please help.
Well, in my case (and I would bet that in yours too) it is the Google application. Once disabled everything returns to normal. I will have to do tests if it allows to use it by touching the microphone icon in the search bar, but activating the voice command OK Google makes the microphone not work in any other application.

Microphone issues on LineageOS 17.1

Hi folks,
I'm kinda new to the Mod community. A few days ago I successfully flashed to LineageOS 17.1 to receive security patches and get rid of the google services. Phone runs smoothly and nicely. Now there is just one annoying issue: Whenever I activate the loudspeaker in a voice call the call receiver doesn't understand me anymore. It seems like the microphone gets super silent. This happens in apps like Threema and WhatsApp.
Regular calls and voice recording work without any issues.
What have I tried so far to solve the issue:
Editing build.prop with commands I found on the internet
Activating different sound fixes using Magisk modules
Re-installing chat apps
Am I the only one with this problem? Do you have any other suggestions?
Greetings,
O.

I've noticed this issue when downloading or using the google dialer app. If I use the android default dialer there is no issue.. Let me know if you found a fix in the end.

same issue in Lineageos 17.1
Hi,
I have same microphone issues in phone calls and voice calls in whatsapp. This also happens during a video recording in Essential camera or Gcam app.
But the sound of the microphone is good in the tape recorder application included with lineageos.
This is a bug that the essential team had fixed but which is present in lineageos since android 10.
Please report issue on https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2209#note_378544829 , this will allow the information to be passed to lineageos developers.
Thanks
Still no fix? Microphone on loudspeaker still doesn't work at all in voice chat apps like WhatsApp. Also the microphone quality without loudspeaker is very underwhelming. Call partner are complaining constantly
Do we know how the Essential devs fixed the problem after android 10 update?
bump...
still with problems :C
I've tweaked around with several XML-files. Still no fix for me. Voice calls (WhatsApp, Telegram, ...) with loudspeaker on are still not working.
In the meantime several other people out there confirmed the error on GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2209
But it seems like the critical mass is not yet reached
I've loudspeaker but work weird, microphone don't work or work very low, my problem is mainly can't lower the volume on videocall.
Could this problem be something out of lineageos? Like something missing of base ph1 system?
