Has anyone figured out how to record phone calls on the XDA2??
I have tried just about every recording app out there and the only way I have been able to do this is using the phone on speaker and recording in notes or sound recorder.

:shock:

From my experience no need to use the speakerphone.
Just using the phone on your ear will record both yourself as the other side (maybe my volume is higher than yours :? )

Pity though one cant use this when using a headset or carkit . . .

Thanks, it works.... I didnt think that it would. I would like to get an app to automatically record phone calls, any ideas??

Don't know what is wrong with mine, but when I press the record button during a normal conversation, my voice is recorded and the voice of the other person is very soft very soft... Hard to hear.

What could I do about that?

It happens to me exactly the same as j_met.
I can hear only my voice...

@ edsub
Can you hear both sides equally loud and clear?
Thank you

I hear the other side just a bit softer than myself.
Good enough in a quiet environment.
My in-call volume is set half-way.

Same for me and very annoying. I think this dumb device only records what you say to the microphone. If you can [barely] hear the other person, it's only because your volume is so high that the microphone picks it up..

why in the world would you need to record only what YOU say?? I think it must have took at least 3 engineers to build it this way.

Ever heard of memo-recorders??
Recording a phone call is a nice extra (its posibility is nowhere stated/promised). Pity it doesnt work with all devices.

Hmm it seems to work well with mine in all places except very loud environments. In some instances it would not have been possible for it to have picked up the other end through the speaker (too much noise) but it still records them... not sure how it works!
