Question Enable Auto Phone Call Recording

[rogerrulez]

I'm quite sure you can't record a call - the other side - with a Bluetooth headset or in the car

Well, I have.

 

[pepelemoko]

Well, I have.

Strange, I've tried it before and it didn't work. Will try again because it's a very good app

I attached an image of the one I used in this thread. Give it a try and see how it works. But my issue is with Nothing and their la k of help and support. However, it appears that the only way to have true call recording ability is by rooting.
But, I'm still waiting to hear back from Nothing about this issue.

Which a android version? I might've missed that

I'm back to being confused lol.. I thought I finally "learned" that, at least with Android 13+, this wasn't possible? Maybe I'm still missing something.
I wonder if one might work for me as well, would be extremely helpful I don't need BT rec

The call Recorder I downloaded from Google Pay worked on my phone.

It will work, but the audio would be bad.

So, I was looking into the process of rooting this phone. It's the same way as OnePlus. But now there are issues with the boot image in the latest hotfix. Phone is unstable if you try to root.

Both 1.5.3 and 1.5.3.hotfix versions of NOTHING OS are currently unstable if the device is rooted and booting a magisk patched boot img.
An issue has been opened on magisk github.
For now if you want root and a stable device stick to 1.5.2, do not update until the cause of freezes is found.

Seems like this phone is turning into a nightmare.

The call Recorder I downloaded from Google Pay in the Netherlands, works for me.

 

[rogerrulez]

There seems to be alot of issues all around this Nothing phone. From call recording to rooting Other issues. Like, I had two calls come in and they went directly to voicemail. They were from the same company. Then the next call is okay. And one or two other issues. I'm starting to regret buying it now. I actually have put it away and now using my 7T Pro.
Is it really .. Nothing ?

 

[rogerrulez]

I went ahead and rooted my Nothing phone and installed some magisk modules. And now I have the call record feature listed. However, there is an issue with the latest root because it often freezes the phone.

I still have not heard back from Nothing yet.

UPDATE: Nothing has gotten back to me. This is their reply.

Hi, Roger.

Thank you for being patient.

Our technical team has gotten back to us.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to activate the call recording feature for you.

This is due to Google defines allowed counties to make call recordings.

• Unfortunately, Canada isn't on the list and that's the reason why you cannot use call recording.

Since our Phone (1) is powered by Android (Google), this feature cannot be unblocked.

We do apologize that we couldn't assist you with activation of the call recording feature.

Feel free to contact us if you any further problems or doubts.

Kind regards,

Bruno

- This is unfortunate. But it also says, when you read between the lines, that the call recording feature IS built in to the ROM itself !!

In my opinion, the system reads the country id and then modify accordingly the menu available.

The best option would be to modify this part - if possible - and then patch the system.

The good guys here in Xda took out the call recorder module from the Huaweis that still had it and made it available for the P30, for example.

So the best way would be, i think, to patch the system in a way that overcomes the check. But it could require a root, if I'm not wrong, and assumed this patch would ever be available

Yeah that could be an option. Also you can see that I was able to have the option available in the settings menus vis root and magisk. But, if that option is already built into the ROM, I wonder if there is a code to activate it !

 

[pepelemoko]

I would think that it should be removed the "checking" of the country ID

Good idea.

I'm now on Android 12. Stable. Call recording in settings. Record calls very clearly. However, from my tests so far, it will only record outgoing calls ! Incoming calls are not recorded. And you don't have full access to them, only can play then in the person you called in the dialer.
And with all the mods, it keeps getting deactivated, like, every hour at most. lol !
I even have joneplus tools installed.

I think, this phone is a decent over-priced mid-range phone that offers very little but basic functions. Don't excpect anything more. And I don't think in the near future anything will change with this.

 

[rogerrulez]

I have managed to get full call recording on both sides.
I've installed many magisk add-ons but I think the one that is working is BCR. Also, if you can get get joneplus tools installed that will activate it as well.
