Record call - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a way to record a phone call. All of the applications that I tried would only record my voice. I even tried rooting my phone and installing dinner of the applications that required root. Being able to record a call is vital in my work. I am willing to install another ROM for the sole purpose of being able to record a call. Do you have any suggestions what I can do?

This is the only one that works on the N4, as far as I know. You need root to make it work, and it's quite expensive:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=it
But it works perfectly. In the description you can find a link to a trial version so you can check it out.

Thanks I'll try that

Skype video on nexus s i9023

I recently installed skype 2 on my Nexus S i9023 it shows the video call option by when i call the video drops tk audio only. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I have used i9023 on skype for vidoe calling with more than 30 mins.
Did you check if the call drop is happening from the other end?
Sorry for the offtopic, but did the newest skype version change your icons while receiving a call?

I got Nexus S day before yday.
I installed Skype from market yday, so I suppose that it's the latest version. But skype video calling doesn't work, I mean I don't see the video call option.
Should be doing something in the settings? Thanks

it seems like skype is aware of this issue with canadian i9020/i9023. skype 2 doesnt seem to recognize it as a nexus s and thus we dont get the video call function. Im not sure when a fix is supposed to come
I just saw this thread, so I figured I would download skype on my NexusS (just got it a week ago). I did a quick test call to my wife who`s out of town and it worked flawlessly. Not sure why it`s not working on some of your phones.

Messaging app for Nexus 7

Before I got my Nexus, I used my Droid X as my primary internet browsing device. Now, of course, I use my Nexus for that but I don't have an easy way of sending links or pictures to all my friends (preferably straight to their SMS inboxes). I'm using Google Voice for texting but you can't send pictures. Anyone have any good alternatives? It would be nice to have a hacked stock Messaging app that can utilize your Google Voice number or something but I'm not sure how feasible this is. Also if anyone could assist me in getting calls to work through the Voice app I'd appreciate that too
Check out Tablet Talk in play store. Don't know if u can send pictures though.

What's the best way to send and receive calls and messages?

I want to be able to receive phone calls and text messages on my tablet. What would be the best way without the other person having to download an app like text+ or line?

Jokes aside, yes a cell phone would be better.
According to some, VOIP programs can have shotty call quality (for both you and the person you're speaking to). But if you're hell bent on it, there's an app that takes advantage of google voice (free) that has ads (pro version = no ads), and isn't that bad for just the ads. Link here
As for text, i believe many people use whatsapp but I've personally never used it, so I'm not sure how it works or if it will work in the way you're intending / interested in.
Hope that helps some.

[Solved]Call Recording

Geez, there are so many call recording apps on the market. Most of them just simply doesn't work. Has anybody found a working call recorder for the i337 and/or the i9505G? I'm really getting tired of testing them out despite reviews. Such a pain to completely remove some of them. Sort of got ripped off on another claiming it works on the s4.
I would love to record calls via Bluetooth. Not sure if that's even out there or not either.
If you would like to share any information please let me know! Thanks!

There is a modded call recorder in the Apps section that works fine. You can also use "Call Recorder" by SkvAlex, there is another post in the Apps section on how to get it going. I have used both and if you follow the directions they both work fine. If you decide to use them, make sure you read the entire threads before you do to see what to expect. Personally, I am now using SkvAlex's Call Recorder APK because I like the interface and how it works. You can use a free version (avaialable here at XDA). It might be a trial, but I would suggest purchasing the app. The modded call recorder I mentioned to begin with is free. Either way, you can search the Apps section for each thread. Good luck.
Thanks. I'll try the free one and if it works I'm way more than willing to pay for it.

Scott I noticed that the GoldenEye ROM seems to have a call recorder as well. Do you know if it works for sure? I'm tempted to swap ROMs if it does.

agent929, I forgot, ACR 6.8 broke recording. The previous version, 6.5, works fine. I had to revert to 6.5.
Here is a link to the ACR version 6.5 APK: http://www.wuala.com/oakd/public/xda/ACR_6.5.apk/
Sorry about giving you bad info before.

Does everything else work well with the GoldenEye ROM as well? Are there any problems that you have encountered that may not be on XDA?
EDIT: I downloaded the GoldenEye ROM, and noticed something that bothers me. Hangouts will not work over WiFi. I know how to fix that in the SQL editor but that's really a bother to me especially when I have to do it fairly often. Is there a gapps package that I can flash or something that will make this go away? Thanks.

Please explain. I just got my fiance a GS4. It shipped with MF3 update already on it. I rooted it but the same call recorder apps that work on my GS4 don't work on hers. I am searching for answers.
It's going to be the kernel on her phone. It won't work with a lot of them. I never tested on MF3 so I wouldn't be a good source to help you there. You can always safestrap amd flash MDOB.

[Q] Call recording APPS

Which call call recording apps are working for you on the G2? I have tried Total Recall on a 30 day trial and it works fine. These apps can be touch and go on some phones and I'm just wondering what everyone else is using?
This one works wonders. It's free to use without any catches whatsoever. No BS and straight to the point call recording app with a few bits of extras.

No, VS980 and I do save as a wav file. Yes, both parties are perfectly clear. I've imported into Audacity and don't even need to amplify or adjust. Been using it for about a week.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I'm most likely going to purchase Total recall, just because it works so well. I will check out the other apps before my 30 day trial ends.

I'm trying out Total Recall as well (thanks to your recommendation) and it seems to work flawlessly! I've only recorded one call so far, but if it works this well on every call I will be purchasing too. It records both voices crisp and clear with equal loudness. Thanks!
I have tried call recorder by skvalex. working fine. clear audio both sides

I use Another Call Recorder. Bought the pro version cause it is super. It records, as well as uploads to Google drive helping free up space on my device. Have it running all the time with a prompt to save recording after every call. Perfect. In market. Running stock rom that isn't rooted.

+1 this app is jam up... Cheaper than total recall and allows me to delete all files older than x days so I'm not using up memory needlessly!
Could have save some money and flashed AEON. Call recording is built into the rom. :thumbup:
If you want a basic boring rom flash something else. We don't do basic here.
AEON v3
FYI: Recording phone calls in certain places in the world without the other parties consent can be against the law, http://lifehacker.com/5491190/is-it-legal-to-record-phone-calls
