I tried Resco Recorder, simply put, does not work.

I tried Vito Audio Notes, its also not working.

Any news on this? I am desperately in need of this to record argue converstation with gf because she likes to turn things around.

No possibility of recording calls on HTC devices simply because of legal issues they wanted to restrict it by making the drivers route the calls not through the OS and that's the main reason for not able to have an auto-answering machine software also.
I love Symbian for this reason alone.

Get a new g/f dude but if you really think a recorder will solve the problem,it may be time to get a new you...lol. just kidding dude and good luck

I loved being able to record convos on my Treo 755p. I would be going back to it but I like GPS on the mogul too much.

Sounds like you need a saner girlfriend and not spy software

I need this for everytime sprint says "Sure are our service is the best".

Don’t worry as soon as we understand any female SHE WILL MORPH AGAIN !!

4th and 20 from your own 5........PUNT!!!

I don't think it is a legal issue as someone posted. Many states allow you to record calls as long as at least 1 member of the party is aware, some states require more than 1.
I know my last PPCPE the wizard allowed me to record calls. Recording calls is not only for spying. I used mine alot when someone was giving me a phone number and I didn't want to go through the whole crap of opening the notepad, selecting free text etc.
It just seems the Mogul overall has been a dissapointment with me. I was HTC's biggest fan when the produced the first XDA for T-Mo with a 3.5" screen
RANT...
Talking about 3.5" screens what happened to them. I've literally stopped using all office mobile apps ever since they shrunk the screen down to 2.4 Excel Mobile is a pain. Pwoerpoint is manageable and Word...Well word mobil is only realistic with a device with a keyboard. I loved using transcriber but there is so little room to write on the 2.4" screen.
Are there any rumours of any 3.5" PPCPE in the works?

I think all the 3.5's are at the end of ropes and in the water as they make great boat anchors LOL. these phones are big enough but if they could keep em small like this then that would be cool.

The only reason yu think the 3.5" were big is because you've become accustomed to the 2.4".
After the death of the handheld PC in the late '90's and bisth of the PPC. People couldn't belive that PPC's could be as small with their 4" screens. Then the 3.5" came and we were like wow, they shrunk it even more.
I personally think the reason HTC ditched the 3.5" was because PPC's had been regarded as business computers and in order to gain or expand their market niche they brought them down to the siz of cell phones.
Apple has brought the 'BIG' screen back with the iPhone. Since they seem to set fashion trends I'm hopefull.

hmmmmmm...wonder why the palm OS AND WM has this

GrandCentral
One way is to use GrandCentral. You press 4 during the call. May not work well for an angry gf though because it announces that it is being recorded. You'll also have a new phone number. I have my grandcentral line forwarded to my mogul. Lots of features. I know this probably won't work for you but it is the only think I know of for recording that works well.
http://www.grandcentral.com

Thanks for all the "trying" to help guys. I really need this because gf keep changing her mind and story. I need something to show her that.."this is what you said 5 mins ago".....I am going nuts with this. And you know that girls also like to turn story around and make it as if it is your fault. Well need to record those too to study the psychology behind it.

I really like my mogul (had it about 2 weeks now) but the fact of the matter is I can barely read the screen! I put it on largest text size, and that works for some things, but not for many others. Everyone is not 21 years old! Time for designers to realize that.

Phone function, do we have it or not?

After reading a lot of threads i am quite confused with the "phone" issue as it is not clearly described anywhere.
Ok, i've understood that phone functionality is possible but...
Can we make calls?
Does it work well?
What issues do we have with making calls?
Is it fully working?

Yes, yes, none, yes.
Only problem is that you cannot use any headset.

Can we make calls in a phone-ish way (device to ear) or do we need to use speakerphone?
Forgive me if my questions sound stupid but i dont have a shift yet.

There is no internal speaker
WHen using the HTC Shift to make calls, you must always enable speakerphone (some roms do it automatically)
So there's no way of having a private conversation with your Shift,
unless you really are alone in the room, train, planet.
There were some people trying to get the earphone working, but since
GSM calling was released, nothing happened above the surface.
The headphone + mic is important as it completes GSM calling feature.

phoneless almost

Too bad would really to use it as a primary phone.
Where are we on headset connectivity?
Do we have any clue on how to implement it?

I was working on it, but then some kind of bounty bounced for doing this, so I gave up to leave the team of bounty hunters work for this.
Seriously, I might have some time for this in september.

Is that really a reason you stopped ? If so , I will put out a bounty to stop all other bounties... So I'll pay everyone off to let you do your magic

No, I just started a huge project for work that I'll finish in two weeks.

I can do it all!!!
Hey i could make calls, using a headset, and even using a bluetooth headset!!!
My Shift takes no more then 400mb ram and can even play back 720HD movies.
Music sounds great on it and the battery! well what can I say, the battery lasts for 9 hours on a single charge!!!!!
I am also using the SD card on the WM side and running Tomtom7!!!!
oh wait
then i woke up with a wet patch on my PJ's damn it was only a wet dream!!!!!!

Any news on this thaihugo? I'd slip a fiver into your paypal account if you got this working!
EDIT: Ok so bounty at the moment is:
vinokirk: £5
Josap: £5
-------
Total £10
Come on Thaihugo, imagine that £10 burning a hole in your paypal account!

word, same here

Josap, maybe you can change the title of this thread to:
'Headset phone function, do we have it or not? !!!Bounty now £10!!!'
or something!?

last time there was a bounty, I decided NOT to work on the subject
I would hate seeng someone grab it before me...
Seriously, I have no more time for this anymore, But if somebody makes a breakthrough, I can help.

Well in my case could donate you for the work you put in and promise i woulnt give it to someone else

Could you at least tell us how far you got?
Do you still have your Shift?
So let me get this right. At the moment we can:
a)Use the loudspeaker of the Shift to hear people, and
b)Use the mic to speak to people.
Basically its like a regular phone on loudspeaker, am I right? Can you plug in headphones and hear the person your speaking to and talk to them with the mic
And the ultimate goal would be to either:
a)get a wired 3.5mm earpiece+mic working,or
b)get a bluetooth headset+mic working
Now some questions:
1)Thaihugo when you said 'i might have some time for this in september', were you going to look at wired or Bluetooth headset conectivity? Where were you going to start looking?
2)Is the 3.5mm socket a plain 3.5mm socket that will just outputs sound or is it the special type that also allows the input of audio?
3)Is the 3.5mm socket useable for audio output on the WM side? i.e. if you listen to an mp3 thru WMP on the WM side, can you hook up some headphones and the sound will come out.
If you could have a look at my questions and answer them to the best of your knowlege that would be great! I havent got my Shift yet but I am serious about trying to improve it. The main thing for me is SD card access. I woud like to know as much info about that as possible, to find out where people have got with it.

The connector supports a mic/headset as it is also included. However it is only usable on Vista side for apps ie Skype.
SD access is unlikely but in the unlikely event that it would be possible we would most likeley get WiFi too since as it is a SDIO card.

As I said in another post, I still have the shift but no time for this. And also, I'm not part of the people who received more than 3000$ for this job. And no, I don't want any bounty, I'm just fed up to take the interim for a shift project that never delivered a think, and just complained when I released anything before their supposed "nearly ready" roms.
If you start a group of your own, and make signficant breaktrough, I will happily jump in it and help. But searching alone, for Saiweb or me, has it's limit. Cmonex is not a rom developer, she is more on the SPL radio side, pof seems to be off the shift forum. This product is aging. Try and think if you really want to involve in it's customisation.

I've posted some other post recently where I state that Shift team has delivered beyond expectation. Reading this, I'd say : Due to many efforts from many people , the Shift got functionality beyond expectations. Dunno who's who anymore.
The Shift deserves SD access and BT. Like BattleStar Galactica deserved a remake.

Yes I am sure i want to start developing for the Shift! Imagine if I and other said the same thing you did about old cars, take my dads 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, if we had said that about them then there woud be none left!
Could you perhaps PM me how far you got. Were you looking at the bootloader, hardware etc. Seriously any help would be appreciated

Usb thumbdrive plugged into buttom of Hero

I'm just getting around to posting this so first I searched this forum and a couple others. I haven't been on the forums in a few weeks so I was sure it was buried somewhere. I then did a Google search on it as well and found nothing. This has to have been brought up though.
We all know Chloe is using the HTC Hero on 24. The rest of the cast seems to be using the Palm Pre which I love just as much. However this past Monday's episode did everyone notice Chloe plug the thumb drive into the bottom of the guys Hero to copy his information and then give him back his phone while pocketing the thumb drive?

Im guessing we could also project with out cameras one of those fancy in air GUI's used on CSI.
Its a tv show.

Oh I'm sure its not accurate, its all meant to be entertaining and I'm sure they don't expect the casual viewer to really question a small clip like that. Most times you'll notice when there talking on the phone that the screens are on something entirely different. Last season Jack used the Instinct and it would ring and he would answer but it was still the home screen. I was mostly just surprised I couldn't find anyone else saying "Did you see that!"

Ah I gotcha, yeah I actually dont watch 24 and never have but happen to watch a few minutes and see the scene you were originally talking bout.

just speculating on possibilities here.
It is possible but not probable
They could have used one of these and coupled it with a micro drive of some kind.
Now the question that arises is: Is the OS capable of mounting this as a partition and writing or reading from it....yes...it probably is...but it would take some kernel level code work to get it to work....
What ever government agency it is that 24 is based around has the knowledge on hand to do this.

If a silly post like mine could actually turn into someone skilled enough to mount a USB drive to the bottom then hey awesome. Hopefully it says "Thanks to Chloe, 24 and Jynx" lol.

this is off topic, but have you ever tried plugging your hero into your computer then using the "boot from usb" BIOS option? your computer will show the "htc" screen. the android kernel has all the drivers for usb/cdrom/hdd keyboards mice blah blah.... you need to compile the drivers for a external usb drive (i think some people are working on this) but then you could totally use a external usb drive on your hero. maybe for torrents?? maybe for????

Is it possible to use your android device as a Bluetooth dongle

Did a question search and couldn't find anything. But essentially is it possible to your phone in this case my atrix. To essentially act as a bluetooth dongle for my laptop. In a short sighted act got my laptop without Bluetooth to save 20 bucks and now am regretting it to an extent.
Not sure it matters but i'm on CM7 currently thanks for any response

I don't believe this is possible, but you can get this one for less than $2.

I completely misread the post, I thought it said headset.
No, I know for a fact that as of right now this is not possible. Go to dealextreme, I purchased one from there. I have no problems with it.

Thanks for the replies and its at 2 bucks doesn't make a whole lot of incentive to make this work for a phone

Disable - Tap To Click - Not the entire trackpad. Please help...

Hi I'm sure this is been asked before. I have searched for threads on this and there are a couple but they are mostly a couple of months old. From what I can gather in the 3.2.1 or maybe 3.2 Asus killed this feature to disable it in the Kernel? So there was an app floating around that would let you do it but now it doen't work. Am I missing something. Tap to click is the only thing keeping my tranformer from being a full fledged netbook replacement. I have tried and tried but I can't get use to tap to click. I ten to jump between mouse and keyboard a lot so having to enable and disable the entire trackpad with the shortcut button just doesn't work for me. Any help would be great. Anyone know if maybe Asus will add a disable tap to click option in ICS?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

The guy just asked disabling tap to click. Some of you TF owners are so defensive lol.
To answer, the functionality was there before the most recent updates cannot do it. I too find the tap to click very annoying when I'm trying to take notes.

Op, hopefully they bring that feature back, I also don't like the all or nothing operation of the track pad. its nice being able to just disable the tap to click component and still use the track pad without moving the cursor around constantly while typing.
Sent from my Infuse... Love it!

I do understand your points, out gets old hearing the same crap, complaints etc... But, I tend to just ignore them and move along where you tend to antagonize to each there own.
On a side note, there is nothing wrong with trying to consolidate your equipment. In many cases the TF with the dock is getting pretty close to a netbook replacement. Asking these questions and striving to challenge these devices to be better than they are currently will be the catalyst that will eventually make them a netbook replacement and possibly a laptop/desktop replace.
after all, forums such as this are meant to seek advice and info as much as give it. but to each their own.
Sent from my Infuse... Love it!

Thanks for the useful reply... it really is a shame Asus has dropped the ability to turn this off... its kind of a waste of a nice trackpad.
As for the other poster who apperently has nothing better to do then go around insulting people I'm sorry you feel this is something you have chosen as a second job from the sound of it. The point of XDA is to ask questions and hoepfully get an answer. Usually I will search and search for an answer before asking something that has already been covered to death. To answer your question I DO prefer a netbook but I would like it to run Android. It's a shame that nothing like that exists so the Transformer is the next best thing. The trackpad was something I was wondering if I could find a quick answer to and maybe consolidate equipment as mentioned above. But hey if your really that bored and insulting me makes you more of a man for your girlfriend by all means go right ahead. I work in Hollywood for a pretty huge entertainment show so I have developed pretty thick skin. I choose not to get an iPad by the way because I don't want to be another sheep like everyone else that works in this business. But to each their own... To the poster who give me the real info thanks again. I hope maybe Asus will add this function to ICS. To the other guy... Happy Holidays.

Apologies. Lately I've found myself more and more bothered by whiners. I used to ignore them. But its getting harder and harder to ignore them. I guess with the latest whines about the kindle fire (only 7 inch, no cameras, no market... exactly everything amazon told people they would get with the fire) I'm getting this much closer to a breakdown.

No worries brother. We all have bad days.
