I've tried a number of apps that worked fine on my Galaxy S6 but once reinstalled on my new S8, they all failed to record incoming voices, despite settings in the respective apps.
I have read that the only viable method of two way recording is via the Samsung Phone app built in recorder, but requires rooting (unlocking) with something like kingroot[dot]net
Hope it helps, it got my calls recording again. It's just unfortunate that one has to unlock their device, in order to use a pre-installed, but disabled firmware app.
If I purchase a SIM free Contract free device, all options should be available by default, not limit the device's functionality, just to profit from serving to different markets.
Thanks Samsung!

"NO" automatic call recorder in mi a1

very necessary, as no playstore app works correctly...
(only supportive people response here plz)...

What kind of support are you looking for, I'll be happy to provide.

Automatic Call Recorder works without any issues. Make sure Settings -> Running -> has Ignore battery optimizations and Run in the background checked.

I've used for about 6 months play store "call recorder" (from appliquato) on nougat. Since I've changed to oreo, haven't tested.

Yes, I have no issues with this app and everything gets recorded with no problem.

I'm using Call Recorder from F-Droid. You can choose the quality and format of the recording and some other settings. I have never tried other call recording apps so I don't know how good it actually is compared to the others.

Use boldbeast or total recall.
Use alsa source(root) if boldbeast, else install root patch(that probably modifies system partition) in total recall.
You'll get Cristal clear recording using any of those 2 app. Hit thanks after installing n verifying.

I dunno if this is what u are looking for but
I use flyme os and it has built in call recorder like miui

Call recording on Android 9

Have you managed to solve someone's call recording on Android 9?

Try call recorder by SKVALEX. Find it in Google play store. Works flawlessly on mine. I'm using Qualcomm snapdragon model. Cheers!

If not, just change your CSC to the THL and you will get a native call recording feature

So I understand that it is enough to buy Thai SIM, put it on the phone and it unlocks the call recording function?

Ended up being too much trouble. Pie. Reverted back to Oreo. Life makes sense again.

Cube Abr work on note 9 exynos but i cant figure out what are best phone recording audio source. There are
- voice comunication
- voice comunicatiiin software
- voice call
- voice call software
-microphone
The thing is that every source sims to had effect on interlocutors voice loudness and clarity. Please try all and report

Before I reverted back to Oreo, I tried this app. Along with the current state of ACR, the SKVALEX app also suffers from the exact same problem. It's not directly recording the other end, only using the phone's speaker to listen. So the voice on the other end is at a very low volume. Even when boosting the decibels in the app settings, it's not as clear and loud as when either apps were working whilst on Oreo. This also means that phone numbers still can't be recorded by either app. As stated by pop up messages inside both apps.
This may be fine for some but I don't think Pie and One UI is worth losing FIRM call recording capabilities. Along with other features we've come to rely on on Oreo.
Just my two cents on it.

don't be angry I am still bothering. I'm thinking about it. I'll put a Thai SIM on my phone. Thailand SIM unlocks call recording. if I return Czech SIM to my phone, the recording function will be locked again or not?

Cube ACR

I'm on unlocked stock and wouldn't want to do anything to risk Samsung Pay functionality, so still stick with Oreo?

how to revert back to oreo? Will I lose all my current data?? thanks for your guidance

Call recording in Android 9 (Samsung Galaxy S8)
No call recording app can record bothway voice calls on Android 9 unless the phone maker dialer provides inbuilt recording feature for a particular region. I have tried many on my Galaxy S8 but found no luck. Call recording is an important feature which is essential for millions. Google should open the relevant API so that the app makers can bring back call recording. BTW, Cube ACR couldn't do bothway call recording on my S8. The best call recorder was NLL's ACR for Android 8. It doesn't work for Android 9 though NLL published an unchained version. This unchained version also can't record bothway calls.

I have downgraded my galaxy s8 to Oreo from Pie to enable call recording. Now ACR (by nll) works fine like before. I am not going to upgrade to Pie again if google or Samsung doesn't open call recording API. Call recording is necessary for me like millions.

Call recorder by SKVALEX most certainly doesn't work on Android 9. I also have the Qualcomm model of the Galaxy Note 9.

SKVALEX worked on my note 9 up to the last Android v8.1.0 Oreo release, once it hit Android v9.0 pie it stopped, all call recorders did. Android removed call recording capability with pie. Sux, I hope someone finds a workaround for it because it was really handy, didn't need to write crap down when getting info or directions from someone.

How do I revert my Samsung Note 8 back to Oreo to get back recording feature?

s10+ Call recording

Any advice on workaround for this?
I need to have my calls recorded and have been doing so for a while now on PIE its been disabled by Google,
I dont think rooting will be the solution due to my banking app.
Any advice please?
Thanks

You'll have to purchase a Samsung phone with 8.x, so your options are the s/Note 8/9. Also, Magisk can hide root. It's held that functionality for a long time.

I ordered the s10 already, want it but this is such a problem.
I guess rooting is the only way

I use the Cube call recorder app and it works just fine for me.

There are a few 3rd party apps that will call record. Just have to choose your preference. May have to pay a few bucks for it.

is your S10+ use snapdragon 855 or exynos. I rememeber on exynos version, SS has stock call recorder

I have an exynos S10+ and it has been recording calls just fine.

If you decide to root you can cloak root to specific apps using Magisk

Is that a stock application? Can you set to automatically record all calls by default and then let's say delete everything older than 60 days or so?

Sklavex callrecorder works Snapdragon. Choose qualcomm msm89xx and mp3 format
Cost 9.99 but its the best one(my opinion)

All call recording are working just for limited time until Google stops that totally very soon. I think after 1st of April it should be not possible by stock Android 9.

I am on androud 9 now. Where are you getti g your info from? Post a link to that

Don't see the option for call recording available on my Exynos model. I've tried 3rd party call recording applications and all seem to capture from the microphone. Can anyone recommend an application that can record calls without the use of the microphone? On my old Sony Xperia Z3 which I have replaced with S10+ I used to use Call Recorder - SKVALEX that records perfectly clear audio of both side using API, however, the application requires root.

Question Enable Auto Phone Call Recording

Hello to everyone,
I hope someone could help me, i need to record any phone call that i make/receive, the phone should record the call without messages to the caller about the phone call is recorded.
Did someone can tell me how can i do this? i have seen that one option is to root the device but if someone have other suggestion is better for me than root the device.
I have also tried this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/ but use the microphone so sometimes there are very noise.
Bye
Stefano

Yes. I am in the same situation. The only things I can think of are, 1. A call recorder app. or, 2. Using a different dialer, say from a Oneplus phone. But I'm still looking into it. I have been using a call recorder app that seems to work somewhat okay but not that great.

I Hope Simeone could help US..
I have also seen that changing the phone app Is not the solution because some apps uses CSC

That's good to know because I was going to try it. The thing is, depending on what version you have, call recording is built in. So that tells me that all variants could have it built in maybe ? Not sure but I am continuing to do research when I have the time.

Yes, I think that every android phone have this functionality, the problem is that phone app use CSC to enable o not, this is what I have understand

I know that on some newer OnePlus phones you can change the dialer to get call recording. I would think that the Nothing Phone would be similar but at this point I'm totally unsure.

I also read that you can root the phone and use a magisk mod. But I'm not ready to root the phone just yet because it's still under warranty.

In India you can legally record calls. I wonder if the dialer from those ROMS would world on the global versions.

@rogerrulez, i don't know if the dialer of the indian phone it's unlocked or if check also the CSC of the phone....

Correction. I tried to install just the joneplustools. This one is different.

Not really. I do have two apps installed that are recording calls pretty good ! One of them I installed from Google play called Call recorder. And the other one is one that I came across in one of the posts for the Nothing phone. I have both running at the same time and both are recording calls pretty good. However, I would rather have the inbuilt option.

I'm from Italy and have Nothing Phone for a couple of weeks now so I may be missing something.
I've tried ACR, a well thought app for call recording, but unfortunately it doesn't record bluetooth calls (earphone or car's) so as a couple of other apps. I guess it's a problem that every third party app is having, given Google policy.
So, I'm using the Google phone app call recording utility (upper right corder three dots > settings > call recording). This option has popped out the first time I put in the sim card. I suppose everyone can access this option but with Google you never know...
This makes available a button on the phone screen, a switch between call recording and not recording. Actually, it's only manageable when the call is started and it's available switching in the second screen of the app.
Overall it works pretty well, even on Bluetooth calls. The calls are accessible via the call log history and can de saved. The only drawdown is that you have to put a meaningful name to the file when saving it.
What drives me CRAZY is that it doesn't have the option to ALWAYS record the calls. Apparently, it's an available option (Google has a help page dedicated: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9803950?hl=en) but not for the Italian version. Or at least for my version
Does anyone know if and how I can make it a permanent choice? I don't want to manually switch it every time...
Any help is very appreciated

You could use MacroCroid. It can press the button for you and fill in the name for you too. You need a fair amount of time to set it up but it would work good.

Thanks for the tip! I thought the same and tried something similar yesterday (Tasker and another app, forgot the name) but gave up for the amount of time needed!
Going to try MacroCroid anyway, hopefully it's a little bit less complicate
