Question Help me! Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Call Recording not available

Search This thread
Hello guys!

Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. BUT there is no way that I can record calls. I'm from Bulgaria and it is some kind of regulation crap. I mean when I go to the options in the dialer app the option for call recordings is not present at all.
Most of my calls are for work with tons of instructions about this and that and I take them either from the car or somewhere without access to notes and pens etc. On my previous phone I found an app that enebled native call recording without rooting somehow... It was P30 Pro and the app in question I found here in XDA. However for my new phone I can't find anything... I tried all of the free and paid Google Play apps but they record only me and nothing from the person I'm talking with... Help me please!!!
Somewhere I read that I need to change the CSC code. Whatever it means... No idea how tho... Other thing I read was to root the phone. I've never done that as well... Basically I'm thinking of going to some randome phone repair shop and ask them to find me a solution whatever it takes... But first I decided to ask here.

If you have any idea what to do please include some instructions for dumb people like me with no experience in fiddling with phones etc..
Big thanks in advance!

I should probably tell you that I've tried this

And lots of things that are already written here as suggestions but... nothing....

First of, do you know your phone model and CSC code? You should be able to spot it in Settings ->About phone -> Software information under Build number and Service provider software information.

Samsung only activates native call recording on the India firmware, so you will probably have to download that version of the firmware.

Following your steps I found this - oxm eux. That is it right?
About the firmware - do you know how I would do that? I mean how to download and install the indian version? Would that affect the warranty or anything important?
 
Do you still have said old phone (P30 Pro) & the download for the app on it?
Just asking cause you could send the app to your S22 from the other phone...
Yes I still have the app. I tried to install it but it returns some error. I'll attach a screenshot here.

In my previous phone Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra, TruePhone app work perfectly with call record's, but now with Samsung S22 Ultra and Android 12 don't work.
For me also call record's is very important, but i don't have the time and experience to change regions with Sammobile to make the call records work.
I am also from Bulgaria and have tried most of the available recording offers.

Her are some options
Non Root :
  1. Change CSC. You needs paid tool, search SamKey and you will find lots result on XDA. This option is OK if you don't want to root but here your CSC will needs to change and network optimization won't be same as your own CSC
Root :
  1. Modify CSC and enable call record, bit difficult if you are not pro witn modding
  2. Use a ROM with Auto call record option (check development section)

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe will try to do that... But can you give me some more info about what it means that network optimization won't be the same as my own CSC? Does that mean that I'm gonna lose connection here and there or some kind of fees?
Also how this change of the CSC code is going to affect my warranty?

csc change will void your warranty, and yes it is possible that your call, internet connection over mobile data may not be as good as it was/is on your current csc, but not a guarantee, you should check to find out if your prepared to sacrifice warranty for call recording, you could always reflash your original firmware

Well... The essentials of my work is talking on the phone and usually that includes tasks that I need to do with all of the details about them. We are working on communicating through e-mail but we are not there yet. The warranty is not that big of a concern but potential problems with the reception etc ... now that scares me...
Thanks for your time! I'll think about it... If you come up with something that is less risky please share! :)

If this app ain't available in your country you could try an "index of" search or I can pull and upload the apk for you

I've tried the app. Sadly with no luck... I copied all the settings from your screenshots with the exception of enabling auto recordings. However the app doesn't create files... I'll upload screenshots of my sad empty folder... Do you know if I did something wrong? I have enabled all the permissions...

Thank you very much for the trouble with the video!!! However no luck with me... I reinstalled the app to be sure that I follow your exact steps. I made some screenshots proving that I have the accessibility permissions enabled correctly ... But still my recordings folder stays empty...

    I use the ACR Phone app on my Samsung S22+. There are two versions, one on Google Play Store without recording feature and one downloadable from their website that does record both sides of a call. They recommend installing the Google Play Store version, then installing their custom apk on top.

    Explanation and instructions here: https://acr.app/

    This is long thread I didn't read every post but thought I would throw this out there.. I run business and often want to refer back to phone calls.. constantly ran into Android issues with this or that so just gave up: I forward my cell phone number to my own phone systems that is a GrandStream and it records all calls... I have an app on my phone to make business calls using the device as well.. all call recorded perfectly and with all details. Never miss a beat no matter what nonsense Android/Governments or whatever want to throw out there. I'm also in a single party consent state so all those regulators can well, Truck Off.

    On my previous phone, I was willing to pay for the True Phone version, but since the free version worked great, I didn't buy the app.
    Now I don't think the paid one will change anything with default version of Android and that's why I didn't buy it, but I can try maybe.
    ive tried it, it didnt work, records silence
