[Android 4.0+] Call Recorder - SKVALEX, record phone calls from the phone line

[Tankerboss]

Hi, as you I used for many years Skvalex Call recorder, then I used not rooted Oneplus 8Pro recorder, but now stop working with Android 13. So I came back to Skvalex...does it works without root? (EU region).
When I try to use adb I've the error:
Exception occurred while executing 'grant':
java.lang.SecurityException: grantRuntimePermission: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS.

Thank you

My rooted Google Pixel 6 Pro was recording all calls properly since day 1 (sometime in October 2021) with Android 11, then it updated to Android 12 and now Android 13. However, with Google's new Android 13 QPR2 ( Quarterly Platform Release) which released approx 10 days ago, it looks like Google has changed something again because I am experiencing that your recorder is now totally not working (it indicated that calls are recorder but with sides are in silent mode!) when I updated to this release. Since this is a brand new situation and I don't think there are too many people have the same experience. As call recording is really important to me, I am going to flash my phone back to the regular Android 13. But if Google is really put in codes to band call records in this QPR2 like it did with Android 9 and afterwards, then eventually we all will be affected as the QPR will be dropped to the regular A13 in a few months.

Edit: After flash back to the regular A13, my Pixel 6 Pro record phone calls again with the default setting. This confirm that Google has injected something in the QPR2 to prevent call recording. I really hope you are able to solve it as the features will be dropped to regular A13 soon.

My Pixel 6 Pro has done the same thing for the last 2 months. It also does it with the 64bit version as well.

@acwcanada @badhabit_wb Thanks, I've enrolled my device (Pixel 6a) to beta program. Will check that when an update arrives.

I've used it on the Google Pixel 7 Pro rooted and with the Magisk module and it works fine. It's configured using the standard/default settings in the app:

To be honest, I didn't try it without the Magisk module just because that's how I had it setup before (on another device) and I moved things over in a similar configuration.

Hello, may I know which a13 build version you r on? I'm going to try magisk module.. will see what it looks like, app version seems has fancy ui..

 

[bizkit_120]

You have to enable call recorder first.. Then you can use as recording method the Standard API. It works like a charm on my OnePlus with Android 13

Because your phone is rooted.. above issue is completely different thing ,he use build in OnePlus recording whereas A13 has banned this route so simply change recording method doing nothing..

Yours is the stock regular A13 and it is the latest which skvalex's call recorder still working. With Google's beta program, the A13 QPR2 ( Quarterly Platform Release) Beta 1, my Pixel 6 Pro build no. is T2B1.221118.006, the call recorder just stop working. Since the features of the QPR2 will be eventually dropped to the regular A13 which might prevent call recording to not working anymore and that's the reason I reported it here to skvalex and hope he can look into it to solve the problem beforehand. If you want to keep call record with skvalex's recorder, stay with the regular A13 and don't update to the beta program.

Yes.. 221205 is the last stable build...not test build which you were using.i definitely Will stay away from it. Have you get a chance to try if Google voice can be recorded by skvalex?

Sorry, I am not a Google Voice user, so can't tell if it works with the recorder.

No prob, thanks anyway!

I think I've deduced that it's the proximity sensor on my rooted Pixel 3a that keeps causing Call Recorder to fail. Tried disabling the sensor, but of course, then everything else stops working, as well.

Same issue with QPR2 on Pixel 7 pro, rooted. Neither Magisk module nor app work.

Funnily enough when I first set up I restored the app from a backup from my OnePlus 8 and it worked half way - it recorded me but not the other part (very faintly, probably feedback into the mic)
Gonna try that again to make sure.

Would be interested to hear how you make out. I've tried restoring, myself. I've also tried a fresh install, using as a magisk module, about all the setting combos you can think of... Feels like I've tried just about everything so far, but no love yet. With my phone, Call Recorder will work great for four or five calls and then just drop a couple randomly or fail in the middle of a call. Really frustrating stuff. Good luck.

Didn't have the time to try yet because I had to rush my boy to the children's hospital. But what's interesting is that the settings I used on my OnePlus and that half worked on my P7P and the settings I applied even I installed fresh, were identical!

Perhaps it was a coincidence that it stopped working at the point I installed from scratch and it was due to stop working like it did for for you...

Hope all is well with your kid. I wasn't able to compare my current settings to old ones because with the old phone, I was using a much earlier version of Call Recorder. The settings don't line up all that well between the old version and the new so it's hard to compare. But it seems like I've tried every possible setting combination at this point. I'll think I have it licked and then it will fail. It's maddening since Call Recorder has worked flawlessly and effortlessly for so many years.

 

[krakout]

Same here, used it for many years and strangely enough (seeing as others had issues) it never stopped working for me out of the box!

Thanks for the wishes btw...
