I also need to know that the Nexus 4 is capable of recording during a phone call before I buy one.
I've tested the app "Record My Call" with the Sony xperia S, LG Optimus One P500, & Huawei G300, all work acceptably with it, not as well as my Nokia C7 did but OK. I used to use the LG P500 with "TapeTalk" as well, I need to record customers details as I'm a home white goods repairer. Please don't start with all that legal stuff, as in Australia it's not illegal, it's just not admissible in court.
I now have a Nexus S, which is why I ask this, which won't even record my side during a call, if that is the case with all Nexus phones then I'll have to jump ship to a Sony, (the Xperia TX) but I like having a device that gets all the Google goodies, my Nexus S has just updated to CM10 stable & it's great. So if any of you new Nexus 4 owners could install & try Record My Call & report here I would be most grateful.

Hi Ksavai, I thought some one who had tried it was getting back, but alas.
Come on guys, be a pal, be a buddy !
Record my Fall worked for my nexus 4!
But it makes a weird noise when i hang up.
I think it has something to do with the app.
Because it uses the mic to record.
When i disable the mic during the phone it does not record the other side,and me of course.
Only one reply, guess I'm in a small minority that are interested in this, surprised.

Actually you're not the only one! I joined this site just for this thread so here we go...
I own a Nexus 4 and was very surprised to find out that my call recording app of choice, Call Recorder (from Clever Mobile, version 2.0) no longer recorded the other side of the conversation. Just a few weeks ago, I was rockin' it with my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) and recording perfect phone calls left and right. I figured I'd have the same feature on the Nexus 4, but I was all wrong.
Thinking the app might be the cause, I switched over to another free one also called Call Recorder (from Appstar Solutions, version 3.21) and it records only from the MIC, which means it will work on a call when done through speakerphone. However, when you try to change the settings to either "Voice UpLink" or "Voice DownLink" it gives you a message stating that your device does not support this feature. Good thing I figured this out before going Pro ($6.99). This app also makes you go pro if you want to save the recordings and do a bunch of other stuff...which would be more than worth the price if it recorded directly off the phone line. I don't have my Nexus GSM with me at the moment so I can't see if this app works with it or not.
At this time, I can't seem to find any other recording app that works with the Nexus 4. It's possible that Google disabled this feature due to the vast amounts of legal issues this could present to users in certain areas. However, I'm not giving up just yet...
I also am interested in this but have no information to contribute as I don't yet have a Nexus 4.
If we get with Skvalex about his Call Recorder app and possibly start a donation fund to get him a Nexus 4, he'd most likely make this work as he's done for several phones that never had call recorder support before. Here is a link to his app.
I'm interested

@ledfrog I have neither phone, but from what i read on other forums, the Galaxy Nexus didn't record calls. Can you confirm what ROM you were using to get it to record calls? Or if it was stock?
I have done a lot of work with audio on Android devices and i know from experience that call recording is disabled in the low level code on a lot of handsets. This is due to the how legal it is in various countries.

I can confirm that call recording does indeed work on the Gnex (maguro) with the use of an app called CallRecorder developed by a member here on the forums "Skvalex". It uses another app called Alsa Mixer. Alsa Mixer also needs busybox installed to work.
Thanks for the input, please try the app I mentioned as working on the Xperia s. It works even of speaker, though not as loud but OK in a quiet environment.
I used the LG optimus p500 for a year with just "tape talk" turning it on manually, which have me hope with this nexus made by LG.

I can confirm this also. I've been using CallRecorder with the Alsamixer for the last 6 months and it works fine on the Galaxy Nexus.
Does the nexus s have a similar solution to make it record calls?

CallRecorder doesn't work. Not properly. It only records from the microphone - A kernel with the 2 way call recording patch isn't available yet (to my knowledge). And this is something I need, too.

I really thought a Nexus phone would be open enough to allow call recording...damn. Is it a kernel feature and can be added? Or is it on some other chip in the phone hardware and we can't do anything about it...
Also I'm surprised that wazbits had it working on a Sony device...my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc didn't allow call recording either.

hi,
i've tried about 5 different 2.2.1 i 9000 roms which ported to vibrant
when i record in the built in call recorder in the dialer it records and saved.
but when play it in the phone's voice recorder or music player and even in the computer i hear some sound of like a dc signal (like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
i wiped all the entrie phone include my sd card
and all the roms i tried it does the same problem
please tell me what i missed
i use overstock kernel which automaticly replaced by flashing one of this 5 roms i tried
anyone can check if it works good on his vibrant?
thanks for helping
i have same problem, never sucesse
Only certain Vibrants that were manufactured more recently are able to use this feature. Several developers have confirmed this.
Some have specific dates, but I don't remember.
Manufactured October and after if I remember correctly

i recently got a new factory refurbished vibrant and it still doesn't work. maybe i should try for another

Who's ready to do this?
Thanks.
Any updates on this?
Oh SNAP! known BUG in da hizzouse I still honestly don't know why you would want this feature: "Oh yes you did say you hate my mother mister,......(looks down at phone searches for recording) LISTEN, snap!"...... but, tru dat. tru dat not werkin here either just checked on Malice2.3.1.

one way is to flash china unicom modem.
but this modem has different 3g module, so you can just get gsm signal. no 3G
Does call recording has to do with modem driver?
I was able to get call recording to work! Without using the speaker phone!!
Im using Bi-winning v2. I bought my vibrant in september so its manufatured before october (horrible gps). But the combination of Bi-winning and Tape-a-talk from the market and I get to record calls. It also worked when I flashed simply honey using tape-a-talk.

Anyways, is there a work around for this with one of the ROMS?

theres tango in the market..qik..and you can google the fring beta for the atrix

For one thing - the sarcasm is childish. Two, if anyone actually READ the forum RULES, it says - SEARCH BEFORE POSTING..... Its not a difficult concept. Third, all this does is CLUTTER the forum with crap that doesnt need to be here.
Tango works, but it's unreliable and compare to facetime it's crap. Google needs to make facetime for android.
Google needs to add video support to Google Talk.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
and if I want to call to someone don't have a smartphone....like samsung f480 without that software
So there is no videocall option? are they serious? not everybody have qik or other software...just a usual videocall over 3g
I think its a probleme with android and not the phone it self...
I already have the dezire z and nexus S and they have a front camera but can't do a video call to another phones without this softwares
motorola wrote a crapy motoblur and was unable to wrote a normal videocall app???
p.s. moto had a super videocall option on their phones - they can even record video!
I see video calling as one of those things that would be great to do someday but for now its just another come on gimmick. Without every single phone being able to video call (not video chat) and being compatible with all the other phones out there I see no real reason for it other than a gimmicky thing. Having said that, my wife has the iPhone 4 and she has been after me to get it also so we can video call. Like the droids, the iPhone 4 can video call but only with another iPhone 4. It may be that when they come out with the iPhone 5 this summer that it may not be able to video call with the iPhone 4.
Now, since ATT saw fit to shove an update on my Atrix that essentially locked it up even more I am seriously considering going to the iPhone 4 and make my wife happy so she can see my pretty face when she calls me. She calls me once a day to ask how I am and give me a shopping list. I can see her calling me several times a day now just so she can video call, Oh joy! And if I don't accept her request to video call I can see myself in the dog house for a while.
we really need Skype Video or Google Video Chat ASAP.

There seems to be a lot of elitism on xda recently. This place used to be more friendly.

lol is this a first android device for some of you? ive had 4 ive never seen what you call " just a regular video call " its always been through software apps downloaded from the market.. tango/fring/qik and the others. one app i forget the name, paltalk i think, aloows for video chatrooms. if u want to video call someone who doesnt have a capable device in the first place, well nevermind. just download the apps and make some friends
the most people have a old phones, or don't have a wifi or 3g plan for internet....but they can do a video call for free...like in portugal...call's and video calls are free with all mobiles....like samsung to nokia, htc to other...withou internet plan or wifi connection....soo....
Ever since I own the Vibrant, I never managed to record a conversation.
I have been through a lot of ROMs, like Bionix 1.3.1, Simply Honey, Cyanogen, MIUI. Project V and many others.
A few of these ROMs had a recording button built in the dialer app, which never worked (when playing the recording I hear only some static noise).
I have tried all call recording apps from the market, including some paid ones, and I never could actually record a conversation.
Always this static noise.
Is it anything related to the hardware? my Vibrant was produced in July 2010. Actually bought it on March 2011 on eBay but probably it was some old stock.
I know about the law that doesn't allow to record a call, but in my country this law doesn't apply, and when calling a service provider like my ISP I always have to record the call otherwise I can't prove anything if they promise something and then say it never happened.
Any ideas how to record a conversation?
Apparently only vibrants built after a certain date have the proper hardware setup. My first vibrant, bought August of last year wouldn't allow recording. My new vibrant which I got in March does allow. This was using the exact same rom.
In addition the feature only works on froyo. I haven't seen it working on GB.

You can use Google voice to record calls just push the number 4 during a call via google voice. It will show up as a voicemail.

i installed last night and made a few test calls. I found that video works great and audio sounds good too. My only gripe is that there seems to be a very noticible echo that I haven't been able to get rid of. I've tried to lower the volume with no luck. I didn't think to lower the "phone" volume ... ill look at that tonight. Definitely smoother than any other video chat options that I've tried. Hopefully they will fix the echos.

Glad it works for you. Looks like you found how get rid of those icons. I hate them as well in status bar way I roll just let all calls record anyway.
I've used Killer Mobile's TotalRecall app for years now but for the first time its basically broke as hell on a new device of mine. I brought it to their attention, and shortly after they released a minor update that I think actually made it worse. Now, they are telling me two weeks for a fix.
I hate being held captive on support but wouldn't be jazzed about throwing 10 bucks at another app to do the exact same thing. I think the only thing to do is be a complete pain in the ass until it's fixed. I'm being sarcastic. Kind of.

Does this still work for you? I've been looking for another option since the open source Call recorder for Android doesn't seem to work for Android 6.0.1 on my 6P while it does still work for Lollipop. I've tried a couple of options but it records only the incoming voice and very low, whether using only the device microphone or Bluetooth. If this still works for you it may be worth the purchase.
Thanks in advance.
