[Q] Windows Phone 7 ACR Software

[itster2]

Is anyone working on All Call Recorder for wp7?

This software is exremely important for me and was wondering if someone could develop this software before launch so it can be ready for download on the day of launch

regards and very much appreciate all your work.

I don't think that's possible given how apps run in WP7 (sandbox restrictions, no background operation).

As amb9800 says, this isn't possible. When a phone call comes in, your running app(s) are tombstoned and aren't running. Therefore, don't have access to the microphone.

But the phone call can run in the background then you could start your recorder and it could be running in the forground you just wont see the person you are talking to or have access to other features of the call i.e. text messages, email, etc...

according to this a call filter/sms blocker is impossible for the moment with wp7 ?

Still won't work... your app will still be tombstoned when the call comes through, even if you re-start it, you won't have access to the MIC.

my post says to open your app after you answer the call thus will not be tombstoned and yes you do have access to the mic. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.audio.microphone(XNAGameStudio.40).aspx

I think its not complete true. I use Samsung Focus and I can switch on camera while answering a call and if I switch on speaker too then I can record both side conversation. I believe that its matter of time if someone figure out and develop a application for call recording......

The camera isn't a typical app

Sorry

This is definitely not possible. You can definitely run your app during a call (no tombstone concern), but WP takes over the mic for a phone call. Your app will run, but you'll get perfect silence recorded. This is by design. It would be great if they change it at some point. Obviously the user should have to OK something, but the concern is about the other party since some US states (not sure of other countries) require that both parties are notified of a recording in progress.
