Recording phone calls on XDA2???

Has anyone figured out how to record phone calls on the XDA2??
I have tried just about every recording app out there and the only way I have been able to do this is using the phone on speaker and recording in notes or sound recorder.
:shock:

From my experience no need to use the speakerphone.
Just using the phone on your ear will record both yourself as the other side (maybe my volume is higher than yours :? )
Pity though one cant use this when using a headset or carkit . . .

Thanks, it works.... I didnt think that it would. I would like to get an app to automatically record phone calls, any ideas??

Don't know what is wrong with mine, but when I press the record button during a normal conversation, my voice is recorded and the voice of the other person is very soft very soft... Hard to hear.
What could I do about that?

It happens to me exactly the same as j_met.
I can hear only my voice...
@ edsub
Can you hear both sides equally loud and clear?
Thank you

I hear the other side just a bit softer than myself.
Good enough in a quiet environment.
My in-call volume is set half-way.

Same for me and very annoying. I think this dumb device only records what you say to the microphone. If you can [barely] hear the other person, it's only because your volume is so high that the microphone picks it up..
why in the world would you need to record only what YOU say?? I think it must have took at least 3 engineers to build it this way.

BTW, I have W2003SE 2.02 ENG installed and still no improvement

Ever heard of memo-recorders??
Recording a phone call is a nice extra (its posibility is nowhere stated/promised). Pity it doesnt work with all devices.

Hmm it seems to work well with mine in all places except very loud environments. In some instances it would not have been possible for it to have picked up the other end through the speaker (too much noise) but it still records them... not sure how it works!

Speaker call not loud

on a I-mate jam it's possible to turn on speaker while calling so you can speak "handsfree".
This can be done by holding down the green call button.
When I do this the sounds of the speaker is de same as normal only the sounds comes from the back of the phone instead of the front.
Does anybody know how to fix this? A friend of mine has the same phone without a problem.

Have you tried while you are on the speakerphone mode to make the volume slider higher?

That ain't gonna help you. This is a known - and unsolved problem with the Jam. If you really need a speakerphone, you should return the phone. No amount of firmware/ROM update will help you.

I use the speakerphone option without any problems. The sound is loud and clear. What is this unresolved JAM problem that you're talking about?

Jam speakerphone volume problem
My XDA1 had the best speakerphone I've ever used, including corded phones. I could be in a conferance room with 10 people around the table and everyone could hear, speak and the participate on the phone never had problems with background noise. I have a hard time accepting that next generation technology from the same manufacturer should be woefully inadequate. The unit is advertised as a speakerphone, the solution is to return my phone and purchase another? No thanks friend, anyone reading this with solutions please respond.

I only have the phone for 1 month now so I´ll return it
tnx for the help

I think most of us don't know how to hold the mini in the right way, while the phone is in speaker mode...
if u want to hear a load voice.. make sure that back of the phone faces ur ear..
that' because the mini has 2 speakers... and the one in the back( near the mirror) is loader.. so you will hear the conversation very well...
and BTY.. I suggest u upgrade to the latest ROM available for ur device..
it helped me a lot....
cheers

Wrong - its patently obvious that the sound is coming from from the back speaker. Why on earth it comes frm the back is another question entirely, given that the speaker phone is supposed to free up your hands so you do other things, including multi-task on the device i.e looking at the screen! Every other phone I've had has a decent speakerphone - and they face the front too.
But the main problem is that the volume from the supposed "speakerphone" is too damn low, irregardless of location.
Considering all the huge volumes of prior experience that HTC has (making practically every Microsoft PPC device, smartphones, plus the Palm Treo phone), things like this awful speakerphone on the magician are really not excusable at all.

I went through 3 TREO 600s due to speaker problems. You could barely hear the speaker phone on the 600 either. ANd to top that off, no one could hear you! The JAM is nice, but the more that I use it, the more I wish that either I bought something else or that the the JAM could just work the way it was designed!!!!!!
1.3 Mega pixel camera... my ass! It's the same quality as my first Casio digital camera from '96. Not mention the fact that Imate can't even put a decent ROM update together.
Perhaps we should build our own PPC's!
P.S. PM me if you want the CEO and VP of Imate's e-mail address. I e-mailed them and they actually wrote back! -Of course they weren't very helpful though. :evil:

One time, I turned on this speakermode operation on my MDA-Compact, I could hear my phonecall loud and clear from the built-in speaker.... This happenend accidently, probably by pressing just the right button, but I wasn't aware....
I cannot find how to do this again? How can I get the MDA-Compact to operate in speakermode using the built-in speaker?
I'm searching this (and other forums) quite a while now, but I cannot find my solution?!
Any help will be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Igor.

Yes there is a way: but the mini back in the box, return it and get a different phone, preferably a Nokia.
Seriously though, its a known fault that the speakerphone on this thing is crap, medocre at best. It does not match up to the speakerphone quality of even an average run-of-the-mill Nokia phone.
If you really rely on speakerphone for your type of usage, this phone wont cut it. Its that simple.

Cool the speaker phone thing is not a big problem for me, i just thought that there just might be a easy fix, cos when i play MP3's and so on the volume is really loud but when i use the speaker phone it is not that loud
Thanks for the replys

I don't have any problems with the quality of the speakerphone of my QTek s100. But i never used a Nokia with speakerphone so i'm not that spoiled :wink:
Seriously, i can use the speakerphone while i'm driving the car and people still hear me very well and i can hear them very well too. I must say that i'm not driving an old diesel engine so it's pretty quiet in the car while driving, maybe that's my luck
@atiley: What version Radio ROM are you using ? Have you tried upgrading the Radio ROM to the latest version (i believe it's 1.13.00)? I've read somewhere here on the forum that it solves some issues. Some say the sound quality is improved.

I have a problem where I can't get the handsfree to turn on anymore.
If i press the green talk button (and no matter how long i hold it down) it doesn't pop back up until I actually let go. And then no handsfree.
I've tried two diferent 1.11 ROM's and am now on 1.12. I also tried radio 1.13, but no luck.
When I first got my phone the handfree worked, but then one day, it was gone. Could there be a persistent registry setting or something like that?
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks

I am using Radio ROM 1.12.00, what does it do when you change radio roms i have no idea is it like a firmware update ? what are the benefits?

i admit the speaker phone is crap on this phone, if you open the phone and look at the actual speaker phone, its really poor quality. but i barely use speaker phone and when i do, its in an invironment when i can here the other person well enough. if your trying to use speakerphone in a club or something... go see a psychiatrist.

Speakerphone volume low.. any ideas?

My wizard's speakerphone is very soft when u wanna use the speakerphone in the car as a hands free call or host a conference call with a few ppl.. any way to increase the volume of the speakerphone?
what i mean is during a call u can press to let it go on speakerphone and its so soft that u can hardly hear the other party...
any tweaks that we can do guys?
and also, the normal phone call listening volume although its at max, it still sounds very soft especially u're driving in a car or tryint to talk in a noisy street. is it like that for all wazards? my previous nokia phones are alot louder and perhaps i'm too used to the loudness.. or am i getting deaf?!
any help would be good...

My Magician has the same problem. As a matter of fact the speakerphone was working properly until a few days ago. Someone suggested doing a hardreset... but I would like to left that as final solution.
Did you got any solution?
Thank you in advance,

[Solved] Handsfree and waiting through Loud Speaker!

Ok XDA, i have one big/huge/enormous problem,
Scenario:
Talking on the phone, using the Wired Handsfree (which came with the phone), when i get another call (call waiting) the notification of the other call is going through the loud speaker! not only that, the ongoing is immediately routed the loud speaker, anyone near me can hear the conversation clearly!!!!!!
does anyone face this?
i checked it on 2 X1s, 1 black & 1 silver and it's there.
anyway to solve this

same problem for me

I have a similar problem with a Parrok CK3100. The phone can't ever seem to decide for sure what speakers it's supposed to be using.
Sometimes I'll press the Voice Command button on the bluetooth device and the phone speaks out, sometimes the car speakers speak out.
I just don't know.
Annoying that the much, much cheaper E71-2 handles all of this with great aplomb, as did my Q9h.

any one else facing this problem people?
i started searching in order to get a clue,
the main thing i'm thinking is that it's caused the same way VOIP (including skype) used to behave using speaker phone!
what do you think?

I have the same problem with a german x1. ROM R2A.
Is there any solution for this problem
thx
walk

Fixed
Bugs Fixes (Registry):
Sound is routed to the Loud Speaker when having a phone call and get a waiting call while using Handsfree
change the key HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker to 0 (default value = 1).
added to the wiki of X1

Thanks. I've changed that setting to see if it solves my problem, too.
