hey guys I have an issue with att telling me I am tethering when I am not. They are taking my unlimited data away. I am collecting evidence against them in the form of recorded phone calls where they are flat out telling me they are above the law. My lawyer is pretty excited lol. Anyway, I need someone to point me to a captivate from with working g call recording. No apps I try to seem to work. Fyi I am aware of the legality which is why I tell att I am recording them for the purpose of using
The call as evidence in court. Thanks for the help. I am tired of their crap and am going g to do something about it. Hopefully I can set some type of precedent lol.

In the main search box on this page, to the left of "find you device", just search "call recording on captivate" and you will find many choices.
Paragon has it. Its a froyo rom though.

Keep in mind this is illegal on some states.
Thanks gents. I'm working g twelve hours a day seven a week now so I don't have time to search through threads, wanted an updated one so I asked. Froyo is fine I only need it for a day or so. And its not illegal if I I form the other party, and in most states if it is over a line you own you are allowed to record anything you like.

Pretty much as long as you tell the person you are recording them, its legal. Also, I believe the "line you own thing", otherwise how are all these celebrity phone calls leaked w/o major lawsuits where the action of recording and not defamation or whatever was the base of the lawsuit. Then again, pretty much if you are rich (celebrities, politicians) you can get away with just about everything anyway!

The best way I found to do this is to use the Firefly ROM. It is a Froyo rom and is no longer supported, but still works flawlessly. There is a call recording zip that you can flash that will add call recording to the ROM natively. Take a look at the following links:
Firefly ROM Page
Firefly ROM Download
Call Recording Zip - take a look at the second post on the page for more mods to the ROM

I've been wondering how many people would not switch to gingerbread unless call recording is fully functional.
Im one of them....
Lets hope this catches the DEV's eyes' if the numbers are big
It is a MUST for me...
+1 for call recording
+2 Gingerbread + Call Recording or nothing!
+1 call recording for me

It's useful for times when you need to recall some information that someone has mentioned during the call session.
Good to have but not necessary to have.
I don't mind it, but it has to be off by default. Recording every single call as some phone.apk do is ludicrous.

Last I heard the one country that allowed it, didnt add it to the last update. To be Honest I dont think it is a good idea. While useful, all it takes is one person to find out they were recorded without consent and boom lawsuits everywhere. The main reason I never add it to my roms

Depends on the country.. North of the 49th, we are allowed to record calls if one party is aware that the call is being recorded (ie the caller). would love to see this feature incorporated into a rom, as I have not been able to find a working app that will do it properly.
still no dev on introducing call recording on ginger?
Bump. I sure could use this feature. Worked great on Continuum 4. Wish I still had it on GB roms. :-(
Wont work on gB for a while. The Korean phone we got it off of had froyo at the time so we could port it. The phone doesn't have 2.3.5 GB so it will be very hard to port

Don't ask me why - but I have been back to using AT&T's default voicemail system which isn't all that impressive but I got tired of Google Voice's horrible voice-to-text translation of my voicemails.
Needlesstosay, I am sure MANY are aware that AT&T has been having some sort of ongoing ticket with their voicemail system. I discovered this when I called their customer care the other day and they blatantly admitted they were aware of it. They attempted to reset my voicemail much to no avail. It still continues to ring 4 times and then still says its dialing but I hear nothing but silence. They told me if I still had the problem today to call them back.
I honestly doubt that calling AT&T back will resolve anything. However, I'm just curious how many others are having the same issue and what the outcome has been for you? Please post your results. Thanks!
sorry i went to google voice voicemail and never looked back ....
Same here!
I use GV but I see the transcriptions as a bonus feature. If it works, thats great. Otherwise, i dont bother with it. You can generally get the idea of what they're saying, even if its not 100% accurate.

First off, Let me say this. In Ohio (where I live), and most other states, it is legal to record your phone calls as long as one of the individuals involved are aware the recording is taking place (no phone tapping). Some other states it is illegal period, thus leaving it in the operators hands to do the research. This research has been done, and for me, this is legal. Please dont turn this into a right or wrong post. Too many of those exist already.
Legal bullcrap aside, I need to be able to record my phone calls from my droid bionic. I am already rooted, and willing to spend some money on this. I know there are many other that are as well.
I've tried all the popular recorders in the market, and they all have issues on most of the droids, including the bionic. It appears that the software disables this feature, and I need it unlocked in my phone. If someone were to be able to bypass this restriction, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one sending donations.
If someone would be so kind as to look into programming the bionic to activate this feature, I would be forever greatful. I had the feature on my old Samsung Saga, and it helped out so much.
I am also interested in this. I assume it shouldn't be too hard...just like the 12 and 13 channels on 802.11. Unless maybe Motorola disables it at the firmware level.
I've been reading and it seems like recording my voice is not a problem, but recording the caller is an issue. (App wise not legally, stay focused) I've not heard definitively if the issue is hardware or not. At the risk of distracting the posse in the quest for an unlocked bootloader, does anyone firmly know one way or the other. (I've read the ROM is blocking it, and the hardware is not capable.)
For what it's worth, if someone is willing to delve into it I would put in on it.
As Google voice as my primary number when I get a call I can press 4 to record. A voice says voice recording or something like that and when I hang up I have an email with the recording. A work around if you need to record something.

Yeah, Google voice is nice, but sucks for recording. I make most phone calls, I dont receive them too often. Plus, you have a lady that loudly says "this call will be recorded" after you press the number 4 into their ear.
If it's the rom, I would like to know how to change it. Many motorola owners especially, would be very appreciative of such a modification. I like it when my call was recorded and i could choose whether to save or not with allcallrecord. Usually not, but it was nice when i could if i talked about something important.
Google Voice is not a good alternative, It kind of works, but I would like the whole thing to work.
I know that MIUI does this natively.

Actually MIUI isn't available for the Bionic, and I know the Droid X version of MIUI says it is recording but the file is corrupt and too small to have actually done any recording.
There does need to be a program that handles call recording discreetly, while there is a distasteful side of this, there are plenty of legitimate reasons. I'm a journalist for instance and would love to start doing phone interviews with my cell instead of going to the office and getting setup with special gear. Our celebrity interviews are always taped (with permission). Also investigative reporting... which is why I said discreetly.
There are plenty of businesses that would pay decent money for a good feature like this. If someone is doing this project, the best way IMO would be to have an option to record call, and record in the room, and have it save to phone and option to save to drop box (real time) so for instance...
If me as a journalist decides to record a Chicago Police officer breaking the law it would go right to drop box. They have made it a felony to do this, but as a member of the media I'm entitled constitutionally speaking to record a public servant and to report on it. Normally what would happen is they would take my phone, beat the **** out of me, arrest me, and then either plant drugs or a gun on me.
I know that sounds odd, but we have issues in Chicago.
we dont have a custom kernel yet so its not possible. once we get a new custom kernel we should be able to have that integrated
That will be awesome. Keep me posted f something comes up. I'll keep my eye out as well.
new custom kernel
I am also aggravated that I can't get an app which will record calls on my bionic. I live in a one-party state, so it is legal for me to record my coversations....discreetly or otherwise. Like the others, I find myself in a situation where I really need this functionality. Does anyone have an ETA on when this will be made available? Will I need to buy a new phone because it will require a hardware fix? Or can it be fixed with an OS update?
I realize the actual "fix" is probably not available yet....but it seems like some of you might be on the down-low with why it doesnt' work and what it will take to fix it.

I believe its a software fix/modification. Something would have to be put in place to actually make you not be able to record. Hopefully one of the roms will allow this to happen.

Yay!! Anyone know if the Samsung Charge/Stratosphere or any of the other 4G phones record calls? If they do, I may be switching. For all that I do with my bionic, recording phone calls reigns precidence over dual core and webtop, not to mention a glitchy phone in general.
Turns out, the Stratosphere works with Total Recall. I'll try the Samsung Droid Charge and see. I may end up getting it instead.

Yes, agreed!
You need a custom kernel that supports this feature, which motorolas do not. So until the bootloader gets unlocked or somebody figures a way around that it is more than likely not going to happen.
After using the Nexus 4 for 24 hours, I have found I have two gripes with this phone. The first is there is no audible alert if you receive a text message while on a call. In other words, if someone sends you a text message while you are on a call, you will not be made aware of it until you turn on the screen and look at it. The other gripe I have is the call waiting beep is almost completely inaudible, and the second beep sometimes doesn't even occur. In other words, if you are on a phone call, and a second call comes in, you most likely will not know about it and thus will not be know to answer the call. Today I have missed several phone calls because I was on the phone and a call waiting beep could not be heard. As an experiment, I got on a call and then called my phone from a third phone just to hear the volume of the call waiting beep...it is so low it may as well not be there. To make matters worse, after the first beep, the second beep takes so long to occur, your voicemail may likely pick it up either right before or right after the second beep occurs.
Software, not nexus 4 issue. I'm sure there's an app or will be implemented into ROM to solve your problem.

The software comes stock on the Nexus 4 thus it is a Nexus 4 issue. Not being alerted to a second call isn't something that can be easily excused with, "there's an app or will be implemented into a ROM". A person shouldn't need to install apps or hack their phone just so they can know when a second call is coming in...after all it's a smartPHONE..

Maybe not being alerted of calls isn't a big deal to you, but there are some of us that get important calls throughout the day, and not being alerted to them is not acceptable. Call me old-fashioned but I expect a phone to actually be able to handle phone duties, and alerting me to a second call is one of those duties. That's a pretty basic expectation, and a glaring flaw that needs to be corrected.

It's clear I like the phone? I haven't stated how I feel about the phone besides the two issues I have with it. Also, for your information, complaining is how issues get resolved because it brings it more attention. Some of us aren't content with resting on our laurels and accepting the subpar. Furthermore, 3rd party software should not be required just to get simple basic functionality. Instead of excusing shortcomings, you should be demanding a complete device. Also, to be clear, I want to like the phone and want to see it succeed. I have a vested interest in it (which I won't get into publicly), so it actually benefits me for it to be a good phone and do well. That said, if it's falling short somewhere then it needs to be corrected and not just covered up.

It's set to have both an audible alert and vibrate on incoming messages. The problem is, during a phone call, neither of these things happens. There literally is no alert during a phone call other than the icon on the screen. In other words, if you don't happen to be looking at your screen, you will never know you have a text message if you are on a phone call.

First of all, it's not a Nexus 4 issue, it's a 4.2 issue.
Second of all, I doubt Google would remove a feature they have had since...idk 2.2(the first version of Android I had). Try a restore, or mess with the settings...or maybe you're holding it wrong.
