Theory: Two way Call Recording

Our HD2 can not do Two way Call Recording by default.
However:
rule 1: Samsung Omnia II Can do Two way Call Recording by tweaking registry
rule 2: Samsung Omnia II have a Hacked Sense ROM
now...
If Samsung Omnia II + Hacked Sense ROM + Two way Call Recording Registry Tweak
can do two way recording
Then
WM 6.5 disable HD2 two way call recording on purpose OR HD2 missing some system file OR HD2 need to replace some system file from Samsung Omnia II ?
ELSE
The HD2 Sense disable two way call recording on purpose? How about Samsung Omnia II disable sense UI, can it do two way recording ?
I don't have Samsung Omnia II, can not do the test...
Please help if you can.
htc disabled it because they don't agree with silent recording (which has legal implications in some countries).
If someone have both phone, they can confirme that.
Mine works!

My HD2 DOES record both ways when using Resco Audio Recorder. My outgoing voice is crystal clear, while the incoming voice is just slightly more quiet (but very easily understood).

The easiest way to test if its actually recording properly or just picking up the mic through the speakers is to try recording whilst the headset is plugged in. If the incoming recorded voice level is the same with the headset plugged in (and in your ear so there is no chance feedback) then you have an element of proper 2 way recording.
If I have the time I may flash some different bases and see how they compare.

I'll try plugging in a headset and let you know. Give me a few hours. Guests just arrived.

I was wrong!

I was wrong! I connected a headset, made a phone call, and ONLY my outgoing voice was recorded. The incoming "caller" was NOT recorded.
Forgive me.

are you really sure? there are a number of ongoing threads about this and the consensus seems to be that when you test it, you make a call to your landline in a nice quiet room, and its actually picking up there other end through your mic.
try starting to record, then call your mobile so you get an engaged tone, maybe have tv in background, when you listen back, not a trace of engaged tone.

Can you repeat the test from post5?

RiAySoft makes Auto Phone Call Recorder (v.1.30) which I works really well on my HD2. Incoming call recording is direct and doesn't rely at all on the microphone. I had to pay a few bucks for it though but it's well worth it if you need it. Link below. http://riaysoft.perso.sfr.fr/en/?Windows_Phone:Phone_Call_Recorder
doesn't mention hd2 in compatibility list, have you tried it with the headset?
Yes, please plugin your 3.5mm Headset which you use to listen to music,
and make a call, see if both side is recored,
if yes, great news.
Try the free demo!
I don't know what I've done with the original headset I use my own earphones but go to the download site and just install it. It's an unregistered version with some reduced functionality I believe but it ought to be enough to test the earpiece out.

same problem.it's picking it up through the mic. with the head set theres nothing from the other end, and to be fair this end is pretty faint through the wired mic.
the open mic is pretty good,I can see how you wouldthink it's working correctly.
Try covering the mic
Here's what I did before:
Try getting someone to help you make a test call without the earpiece in. Next try covering the mic while the other party is talking and you won't hear the difference when you play back the recorded file. On the other hand if you were to cover the mic whilst you were speaking into the hd2 you'd get an audible drop in volume.
I have also considered the fact that the mic might be picking up vibrations through the phones body (this would in reality be very unclear because phone mics are designed to pick up modulations in air waves which move much slower than they do through solids). Another quick test to prove this would be to compare the relative volumes of recorded audio using both different programs. Unless ACR has code artificially reducing the volume of incoming sound (doubt this) then both software should demonstrate similar results.
My guess is that the earpiece might require yet another set of code to enable recording of the rerouted audio.
my take is that it is carrying through the body to the mic, my reasoninhg being that even if you cover the earpiece, the ambient sound of the caller is still pretty clear.it almost sounds like its coming out of the back speaker too. maybe the rigid glass makes the sound carry without too much distortion.
someone will figure it out, its not s priority for me,I can wait.

[REQ/IDEA] Soundqualitiy ?!?

Hello firends,
do you know an equalizer which is not necessary to play music, one that works all the time in the backround... which is also active when the phone starts ringing, or plays the sms tone ?
The original sound quality is really poor so this could help us out...
Well, the phone won´t be a ghettoblaster, but maybe we can get a better sound in daily life
Thanks!
MOD Edit: Moved to General.

Nothing new here?

Video calling, sound trouble

So I recently got one of these tablets for my parents. It seems great overall.
Tried the video calling with the GTalk app.
First test call between the Tab and my Galaxy S (Custom ROM with latest GTalk so the phone does video calls, although it uses the wrong camera)
The sound my phone receives from the Tab is pretty bad, like this weird stuttering sound. I can still hear voice though. The Tab seems to play back sound it receives fine though, but maybe too quiet.
Second test, between Tab and PC. Annoying stuttering sound is gone. But now my voice comes back to me, and it's much louder than the voice of the person calling me from the Tab. It's like the Tab is picking up sound from its own speakers and sending it back to me.
I tested the mic with the recording app, on both my phone and tab. There it worked fine on both.
What's going on here? Software problem or what?
And why is that weird stuttering noise played back on my phone but not the PC?
Nobody? Am I alone then, is my Tab faulty?

You are not alone as far as the pc side goes. I get the same results. I will start looking for a noise/echo cancellation fix for the tab. If I find anything I will report back.

Hangout Seriously needs fixing

So the Nexus 10 should be a good device for making Google Hangouts calls or Google Talk. But every time I use it I get such a bad experience.
I want to use the speakers on the device but when I do either the other side cannot hear me or they get an echo, or sometimes I just cannot hear them. If I use head phones it is fine, but that is not the point. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I don`t think it a softwarebug, i think it's a hardwarebug. Try any software, where you choose front and rear mic, and you will see, that the front mic record really bad quality and extream weak. good luck...
I don't think it is. When you search using voice it is perfectly fine. Whenever there is any type of sound coming out of the device speaker it is somehow inputting that into the microphone and that this something which a software update can sort out.
Another work around is to attach a loud speaker through the 3.5mm jack. When you do that you do not get an echo being presented back to the user you are talking to.

I obtain a similar result as you. Not exactly the same. When I hear some body througt hangout-gtalk I hear him faltering and with very low sound. The work arround I did is:
It's behaviour is the same with gtalk video call.
With Skype works perfectly, so it isn't hardware issue. Please try it to corroborate. In didn't try with Tango, we should.
With headphones works perfect bidirectionally, but it demostrates nothig i think.
I think the problem is on echo cancelator applied on these apps.
What is your oppinion?
The geniuses at Google have the rear microphone as the default microphone for skype and hangouts...
We have an open ticket for it on the support pages, but they never fixed the issue in 4.2.2

But with skype works right for me, and you? Could you please attach link about your ticket to have a look.
I hope with new Key lime prime they do a apps comunication unification and fix it.
Tango is not working for me. Very choppy receiving audio and sending it back. Almost like a real bad speakerphone where the two callers are always "stepping on" each other.
This is my second N10 and I recall the first one working much better with Tango. I also added a case to this one when I got it, so maybe that's impacting it as well?

NOTE 4 SM-N910F Low microphone sound

Hello, I have a major issue with my note 4 where the microphone sound is very very quiet when trying to voice call on skype, messenger, voice recording app thats built in the phone, absolutely anything that does voice only, but as soon as i do video, video call, snapchat video, video camera, etc its loud. I have looked online and many tell me to go into the secret menu but none of the codes work so I have drawn a blank.
If anyone has the solution to increase the microphone volume just as its default state without needing to be on video it would be very appreciated. Ive tried many of the secret menus just cant find anything that has the specific one I need. (Ive looked everywhere online yet to no avail)
Thank you
same issue since first month u just have to clean the two little holes near the charger
