As previous statement said and everyone from certain CSC worries about. You are coming from CSC that is whitelisted.. so there is call recording. Unlike some CSC that still under check (how long?) allow or not. For EU, yes no call recording but for ASIAN i think only korea don't allow call recording and the rest is okey. This thread is to warn someone from certain CSC and in this case, not you.

N9500zhu4dsc7 - galaxy note8 sm-n9500 tgy / Record Call?

Hello everyone, do you know if with this model and with CSC TGY you also lose the recording of calls when updating Pie?
I have read that it depends on the CSC, so I ask.
Thanks in advance,
Are you using native call recording before pie?
If the option is not there and you use third party app to record, then yes you will lose the call recording functionality with pie update.

I don't have the option at all. AT&T variant running U1 with March Security and Pie.

On my side, on my first notev8, i ve rooted it and on the custom rom, i had the nztive call recording. On my new one, not rooted, i use the skvalex app (third part app). This app works very well on oreo and now on pie.

No, I do not have native recording in Oreo. Still, try updating to Pie and Skvalex stopped working. So I had to go back to Oreo and there I stayed until some solution came out, if it came out ...

I ve just read the link you posted and you re right but i don t know why the app works on mine. I can take screenshots to prove it but if you say that diesn t work on yours, my screenshots will be useless for you. Before using skvalex app on pie i used an app called acr recorder but an older release cause new releases of this app don t run on pie.
Let's see, the application works, but in what it fails is to pick up the voice of the other interlocutor. Are you sure that what you record is downlink + uplink ???
Sometimes what happens is that if you have very high volume, record the voice of the other party because it plays through the microphone.
To be sure, try to see if it works with the volume at minimum or, better still, with a bluetooth headset connected.

Ok...i found the mistake.
Firstly, all my apologize for my mistake.
On my note 8 xef csc, samsung pushed 3 updates for pie : sb2, sc2 and sc6.
I was on sc2 update and all call recorder apps worked fine (skvalex and cube acr recorder).
Today i ve decided to investigate as you affirm that it doesn t run correctly for you.
I ve decided to flash via odin the last update sc6 with april patch. And now i can say that you are right and i was wrong because on this last update, no call recording app work on my note 8 but worked very well on the 2 previous pie updates. As i m not rooted, i prefer the os software more than a call recorder app. I will wait until i will have more time to investigate for finding a solution.
Thank for your post. It wakes me as i don t use call recording app very often, maybe i could never noticed that my app doesn t work.
I apologize and thank you. If and when i will find something, i will back to you:good:
will have call recording menu during call

call recording is not working

Hi, I have downloaded an app called Automatic call recorder by appliqato.
I used this app before with no problems on my previous phone (mi a1).
But for some reason, now it is recording but with no sound.
Any idea why?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe it worked on your older phone because it had an older android version. It appears goolag has decided that we won't be allowed to record our phone calls under android 10. That is until they change their mind.

Yes you are right, My old mi a1 was on android 8 when I used it.
do you know of any way of enabling it?
maybe with root?
or by downgrading android?
It's really important for me to record calls.
edit: I read a little bit and found this: https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1877-android-10-call-recording.html
this app does work if you enable the accessibility setting, but for some reason, the other person is not as loud in the recording as he is when talking to him, but it's close enough so I will take it
Almost any custom MIUI ROM has such function by default.

You have to use the apk from the website, not the playstore app!
From the official boldbeast website:
No root needed, but special operation needed
In some countries in some phones, the call recording feature of Android 10 is disabled but Boldbeast Recorder can bypass the limits to enable it. Please:
- Confirm you are using Boldbeast Recorder V12.9 or a newer version.
- Tap "Settings - System - Accessibility" in your phone (not in Boldbeast), enable Boldbeast Call Recorder on the screen.
- Tap "Set Default Settings" in Boldbeast Recorder.
Then it works at once, both your voice and the caller's voice are loud and clear in recordings, no root needed.
For example, Android 10 phones like Galaxy S10, Note10 etc in many countries work great this way.
The voice of the other person on the line is a bit weak, but usable.
On my rooted phone, both voices are equally loud & crystal clear.

I have installed app (Boldbeast Recorder V12.9) from website but my recordings are empty... files are created but it's just silence when you play it back.
There are 12 Record Modes (1-7, 11-14 and Alsa Mode (Root)). What Mode should be used for Mi 9T Pro, MIUI Global 11.0.1?
I use record mode 12

Call recording app working on Android 10 no root

Hello
As the title say I cannot find any call recorder app to work without root in android 10 !
Please help !!!
It wouldn't work without root. With Android Pie, Google deprecated the API long ago and the workaround that was used until Pie was also closed later on. More info: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-blocks-non-root-call-recording-apps/
So, you will need to root if you want fully-functional call recording on Android 10 or Pie.

Not by default, but I'm sure you can use an alternative dialer.
Don't be so sure about it. Most (all?) recent Samsung devices have a nice native call recording feature built in, the problem is, it is usually disabled by the CSC settings in most countries, and can't be enabled by the user unless you can change the CSC to one of the countries it is enabled on, or got root. I've been looking for a 3rd party app that would do the trick on Samsung devices before, and NONE of those would record both sides of the conversation in all conversation modes (regular, speakerphone, wired headphones, bt headpones).
PS: Don't count on it unless someone here EXPLICITLY tells you "yes, it works, this is how to make it work".
So no way even with custom dialer

That is weird... On my v20 i used a custom dialer to record calls, no issue.
Just a Samsung issue or something new? My last Samsung phone was a note 4 (rooted) and I've owned lg/pixel between.

Likely varies per vendor, may differ between ROMs (kernels) too, but its not like we have a huge variety on this one.
I wouldn't count on any of the 3rd party recording apps working until someone actually TESTS it.
... still thinking if i want to buy the S20 FE or not, gonna miss the root access and the ease of enabling this kind of features with it.
I have a s20 FE 5g with CSC malesya. I'm recording calls with cube acr and IT WORKS.

i have the S20 5G FE in the USA and i was also able to record calls using cube acr. My phone is factory unlocked
Bit offtopic RANT, but I just don't even care how it is in EU regarding call recording with s20FE anymore. There was all the adverts about colors before lunch, but snapdragon version is only available in dark blue, way to go Samsung Czechia.
Thank you for the info, as if it works in USA it will probably work everywhere

Morning guys, quick query on Cube ACR
I just installed it. The voice of the other party is bit feeble as opposed to mine Is that normal?
Since you are already using it, can you please tell me which recording settings work best for capturing the other party voice? so basically the three settings below:
a. Phone recording audio source- which option to keep?
b. Phone calls clarity improvement- do I keep it MAX?
c. Force in-communication mode- do I enable or disable?
Thanks in advance!

i only installed it to see if it works and then immediately uninstalled it as i dont have a need to record my calls. Uninstall it, reboot and reinstall it if its giving you issues. Thats always a first step for me when troubleshooting an app that is just behaving weirdly. We can go from there if its still problematic

There is no problem as such, the app is working fine, it’s just that the voice of the other party is weak. So someone using the app can confirm if that’s the normal behaviour of the app or any combination of settings (the 3 fields I mentioned earlier) which can improve the voice quality of the other party. Thanks for your response though ?
HI, I do not use acr cube anymore because it doesn't have a good quality. I CHANGED CSC and I have now csc thl from Thailand with native call recording. The quality is top. It is possible to change csc on s20 fe 5g.
Basically there are two ways: 1) Buy a Thai sim card from ebay and then put the sim inside your smartphone and start a factory reset. Probably before this you need to flash a thl samsun firmware from sammobile.
2) This is what I did. Buy from ebay 3 credit of samkey. Download from samkey the software for changing csc and use it. If it doesn't work before the procedure 2 flash a thl sammobile firmware, after that check the csc, if it is still not thl start the 2 procedure.
Hope to be helpful.
I use cube acr as well and I don't seem to have issues, lucky maybe?

I will want this. Can anyone else confirm it works with at&t s20 fe on at&t?

Using Cube ACR with S20 FE 5G on AT&T works great. No special settings, make sure you install the connector app.
My only gripe is that sometimes the app doesnt get the ID of the caller correctly in the call list. I suspect this is to me not using the Samsung contacts app as default though.

Call Recording Apps Poll

I am planning to buy
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G SM-G7810 Dual SIM 8GB/256GB to be used in uk with 2 sim.​I have currently a mate 20 that has built-in the call recording .
Due to my work I need the call recording because help a lot with note.
Now.
I cannot root the device because it seems I will lose upgrade and also I cannot use bank apps.
I cannot change the CSC for the same reason and it create issue with play store I think.
The only way it is the app.
In previous phone this kind of app have issues with low volume of the person calling or no recording also.
Also they not record automatically .
So which apps are you using and it works
I found out the sometime the apps from the galaxy store works
No one?

Google has not removed the API, as the ability to record calls, starting from Android 10 for countries where it is not prohibited is still present. But ACR from the Galaxy store (not Google play) uses a workaround for that (maybe with Samsung's permission or support). This can also be seen from version: ACR version 35.0-samsung-unChained.
BTW, and in my country is not allowed to record calls (EU) unless the invited person is notified that they are being recorded.
So neither does my S20FE, out of the box, have the ability to record calls.
Which model do you have? International or Hong Kong?

From your link:
ACR Unchained version 32.9 or above is required. Google Play version of ACR will only record silence. This is because Google Play Store's terms prevents us from using a special service needed to record calls on Android 10.
So we can use ACR version 35.0-samsung-unChained from Galaxy store (with special service needed...).

HI, All,
I get the native call recoding by simply flashed through Odin the latest Indonesian Firm. I bought the device with Aug1 Firm. Country Bulgaria.
Everything works just fine. No issues with the bank app and NFC at all.
I know this is somewhat of a dead thread, but I wanted to confirm that even the unChained version may or may not work; on my S9 (Android 10) the unchained version didn't work at at recording the other party's voice. I then factory reset to another CSC and it worked, so it seems to be dependent on the country code somehow...
