recording voice calls

I need a way to record voice calls, both lines. I have looked into some apps that don't work so well, so i need your help.

I have never had much success with these types of apps. The best one that recorded both sides of the conversation breaks Bluetooth which is a deal breaker for me.

That it does sir but I tried it not too long ago and it didn't seem to work either. But that was a few releases ago so maybe it has changed.
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

if you dont mind, what was the name of the app?!

I would be intersted in this also

recording both sides can only be done with a modified kernal.

That's how I do it. I open up voice recorder & put call on Speaker & record call.

i honestly dont remember i tried several apps from the market, i could look to see if any of them look familiar but i move through so much stuff i cant say for suer which one it was. plus i use cm7 and this could have played a role what worked and how well it worked. sorry!!

I use CallRecorder from the market and Lithid's Freedom v8.5 kernel. Works great. I get both sides and I don't have to be on speaker phone.

Google voice, press #4 when the call connects. The best I have used.

Good call recording app or mod for KitKat

Now after KitKat my favourite call recording (ACR) stopped working. They are aware and told that Note3 users with KitKat cannot use their program.
Is there a good program that I can use for call recording?
Maybe is possible to use this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621791
But I am a newb, would rather have simple instruction on how to add the feature.
Or an app.

yes 2-3 program I checked all the same problem ...

I saw a report from a user that he managed to get call recording worked on KK by using ''call recorder'' app by skvalex.He used a beta version of the app (1.5.3 alpha04) and you can easily find it here on XDA. He also stated that he played with the settings of the app and he got it worked by choosing ''amr'' sound format from the app options/settings! Didn't check it by myself as I don't have KK on phone yet but everyone who needs it badly, they don't have anything better to do but keep trying options!

WORKS, WORKS, WORKS!!!!!!
Just tried the app from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643&page=285) and its working flawlessly (version: 1.5.3 alpha05)
I installed the app and rebooted the phone.
First call after reboot didn't record but after that all was working.
2 way records works perfectly and i didn't even have to change the output to AMR (default and AMR settings works though)
Just for clarification, running Note 3 (N9005), Crash Rom and im rooted

Glad that it worked and nice report

ACR & non root call recording
Call Recording issues with Note 3 Android 4.4 Kitkat
copluk created an issue 2014-02-02
We have gathered that if your KitKat update build date is earlier than 14th January 2014 call recording will not work anymore, when you try ACR or any other call recorder, you will only hear a static noise from all "Audio sources". This seems to be an unintentional bug.
Fortunately Samsung seems to have fixed this issue later on, we were able to confirm with few users that starting from Russian KitKat update for Note3 with build date 14th January 2014 and kernel version 3.4.39-376474 (see attached screnshot) call recording works as usual. If you have LTE version, check if your kernel version is above 3.4.39-376474.
UPDATE on 24/02/2014 It seems above information applies to Note3 NON LTE version. From comments to this article I can see that even the updates in February for LTE version of Note3 hasn't got changes merger to it.

SO ... waiting for firmware update

Hi,
I'm on Kitkat and use this from dr Ketan (donate version), no need to root your device.
Very good, both end point voices are clearly recorded and no limit on recording file size.

Extremely thankful for your fast reply , also can u let me know is we can hide the call recording display while the call is active, is there any warning sign that is heard by other party

The recording start before dial tone activated so u may heard dial tone in record files. The recording display is something forgetable but I personally made request to Dr Ketan for it to be hidden / removed in the future though and he said he will see what he can do as it might be needed so it won't get closed by Android OS accidentally while recording.

As far as I'm concerned any beep will be recorded if there were any cause recording start before phone is connected. So far no beep is recorded on my record files.

Can we password protect the recordings so no one else can see them when the phone is idle

If not rooted the location is in internal SD on folder Voice, if rooted it will be on external SD on folder Sounds. Protecting or not protecting is matter of to protect or not the folder mentioned. For me since my device is always encrypted and need password everytime screen wakes up it wouldn't matter.

SM G900H Crashing

Hi guys,
I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.
Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.
After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?
Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.
Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.
Help guys!
Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI

You thought to restore the factory

Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.
BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.
and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.
I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz
Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.

Hi Mate,
The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.
The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Yeap, thanks, I just downloaded it and looks like it crashed but lets see what happens if I listen to music for 1+ hour- I will report back.

Interesting, same use case in a G900H:
If wouldn’t be a Samsung phone without the occasional crashes and sadly, the S5 is no stranger to this. Despite being on KitKat 4.4.2, the S5 will lag intermittently and at times crawl to a halt, forcing you to restart the phone. We noticed this couple of times when listening to music. The song would just pause itself and OS would simply stop responding.
