Call Recorder - Record telephone conversations from the line. How to get recordings of telephone conversations Is it possible to recover a recording of a conversation?

Recording a conversation is a function that is rarely used in everyday life, but sometimes it can seriously make a person’s life easier. A business conversation, where a lot of information that is difficult to remember, but necessary for a person, flashes like telephone numbers, or an openly criminal situation with threats over the phone - there are thousands of reasons to use this function. Fortunately, in the era of smartphones, you can record a telephone conversation without the use of third-party devices; however, there are some difficulties here, and detailed instructions It won't hurt for Android.

Why problems arise

The first thing you need to take for granted is that not all phones can easily and seamlessly record sound. This is due to the fact that in many countries secret recording of sound is a jurisdictional matter. The manufacturer, when releasing a phone, cannot predict whether the buyer will use the ability to record sound for criminal purposes, so, just in case, it disables or limits this ability at the level of primary components in advance. operating system. This is why on some models not a single sound recording program will work at all or will work with significant limitations.

The list of such models (incomplete, since users did not test call recording on all phones) can be found in the table.

How to record a telephone conversation on Android - instructions

Built-in tools

The manufacturer does not always strive to limit the user’s ability to record a telephone conversation. Some, on the contrary, build such a function into the firmware so that calls can be recorded without installing a third-party software. It’s easy to check whether this is possible on a specific device: just look at the call menu during a call. If the call recording function is present in the firmware, among the buttons " Speakerphone

", "Enter number" and others, there is a button called "Record", "Dictaphone", Record or similar. For example, in the picture below, the Record key will start recording the conversation. In a number of firmwares, some of the call menu functions are removed under the “More” button, also known as More and “Additional features”. Sometimes there is also a sound recording hidden under it. Here, to check whether audio can be recorded, you must first click on this button. If the firmware has a recording capability, then it will most likely be found among additional features

. In the image, the button responsible for recording a conversation is called “Start recording”.

You can see what the button looks like and where to look for it in the photo instructions:

  1. After the conversation is over, you can listen to the recorded audio file. At this point, many users have a question: where to find it? The call menu itself does not provide this option, but there are several ways to find a lost entry.
  2. Some file explorers or audio players have an auto-search function for multimedia files. For example, such functionality is available in the custom ES Explorer or the built-in music player Sony phones. Here, too, everything is simple: just turn on auto search and find audio recordings that resemble the desired calls in name and duration.
  3. If the previous methods are not available for some reason, you can go the hard way and try to find the audio recording yourself. On the "clean" Android records phone calls are located at sdcard/PhoneRecord by default, but if everything were that simple, the previous paragraphs would not be needed. The problem is that depending on the version of the system and firmware, the folder in which the records are located and the path to it can be named completely differently. For example, on Xiaomi devices Call recordings are stored in MIUI/sound_recorder/call_rec. However, you shouldn’t despair: the name of the folder in which the sound recordings are located usually contains the words record, recorder recording, and so on, so you can focus on them in your search.
  4. When all else fails, you can use the tricky method. To view all the audio recordings on your phone, just connect the phone to your computer and search the device for files with the .mp3 extension (or another, depending on what extension the sound is saved in on a particular phone). But if there are a lot of audio files on your phone, finding the right one can be very difficult.

Applications for recording phone conversations

Does your phone not allow you to record calls through the call menu? - it's a pity. However, this is not a verdict: if the device is not included in the “black list” of phones on which conversations cannot be recorded, then this can easily be done using special applications that are presented in Play Market in large quantities.

Call Recorder

A simple and unpretentious application, which is called “Call Recording” (depending on the firmware and localization Google Play may also be called Call Recorder).

It should be noted that there are hundreds of applications with this name in the Play Market, so it is better to clarify: now we are talking about “Call Recording” from C Mobile.

Relevant functionality: recording a conversation in automatic mode, the ability to listen to and delete audio recordings made. In addition, depending on the version of the application, you can share the recordings made * and it is possible to choose which call to save and which not (if this function is disabled, all recordings are saved automatically; if enabled, after each conversation the application asks whether the user wants to save call). In the settings, you can also set a password for the application so that outsiders cannot gain access to the recordings, select the location where the recorded audio will be saved, its format (MP4 and 3GP are supported) and the recording source (telephone line, microphone, etc.). It is possible to listen to audio recordings using another application and synchronize data with the cloud.

The application interface is quite laconic: to enable call recording, you just need to toggle just one toggle switch in the main application window. The rest of the options are configured in the corresponding menu items: “Memory” is responsible for the location where audio recordings are saved, “Synchronization” is for synchronizing with cloud storage(Dropbox and Google Drive), “Settings” - for settings of the entire application, from the recording format to notifications about audio recording.

Photo gallery: instructions for using the Call Recording application

* - please note that, according to the law, Russian Federation, recording conversations in itself is not illegal. However, cases when the owner of an audio recording shares it with third parties without the consent of the other participant in the dialogue is regarded as a violation of the right to privacy of correspondence:

Everyone has the right to privacy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraph and other messages. Restriction of this right is permitted only on the basis of a court decision.

Constitution of the Russian Federation, Article 23

CallU

Like most such programs, it provides only a limited number of functions, but their list is wider: for example, there is a filter that allows you to select for which contacts calls will be recorded, as well as additional conveniences such as the ability to enable call recording by shaking the phone (shake sensitivity can be adjusted in the application settings). You can change the recording quality and add text notes. Supports MP3 and WAV formats.

The rest of the functionality is very similar to the previous application: the same password protection option, the same choice of recording source, the same synchronization with cloud storage (Dropbox and Google Drive are supported in the same way).

A nice bonus: when you click on any menu item, a drop-down help will appear explaining how to use this function.

For beginners, this feature can be very convenient.

Automatic Call Recorder One of the most popular recording applications telephone conversations

, released by the manufacturer Appliquato. Its fame is associated with flexible settings, a convenient and concise interface, and also with the fact that, according to user reviews, it works smoothly on a large number of devices. It is worth noting that Google Play translates its name into Russian as “Call Recording”, that is, exactly the same as previous applications: you can get confused. The functionality is impressive: a relatively large selection of audio formats for saving, several standard recording configurations to choose from, the ability to increase the conversation volume at the time of recording in order to record sound in best quality , and mysterious “experimental functions” for playing audio...

True, what is really missing is the ability to choose the sound quality and protect information with a password.

A distinctive feature of this application is a large number of signal sources. It's worth noting that some of these are not supported on very many phones (for example, Voice UpLink and Voice DownLink). The most popular source is Voice Communications: it allows you to record both the voice of the phone owner and the voice of the interlocutor. Most of the additional sources were created to optimize work on devices where recording through standard sources does not work or works poorly. In addition, users complain about annoying ads, which are disabled only when purchasing the full version. I must say, this problem occurs in other free applications

, as well as the limitation of some functions in the free version of the program. Luckily, audio recording apps are inexpensive.

There is something like a filter. Simply put, there are three main recording modes: recording all calls, recording calls only from pre-marked contacts, recording all calls from contacts that are not in the address book.

You can synchronize data with cloud storage, connect an external playback source, change the storage location of files and attach a text note to the recording. In addition, there is an unusual feature: you can allow or disable recording sound when connected via Bluetooth.

Supported formats: AMR, 3GP, AAC, AAC2, WAV.

Photo gallery: how to record audio in Automatic Call Recorder

Total Call Recorder

Another application, similar to the previous one in its unobtrusiveness and brevity. There are fewer supported formats here, interesting tricks There are no shake recording or standard configurations, but there is a call filter, implemented more fully than in the previous application, and here you can also change the audio sampling rate. The list of signal sources is almost the same as in the previous application; the options for increasing the volume, connecting a third-party music player, and setting up recording with Bluetooth have also migrated from there.

Recording works according to the already familiar principle: just switch a single toggle switch, which is located in “Settings”, and all calls that have passed the filter will be automatically recorded and shown in the application.

It is possible to change maximum amount conversations stored in memory. For owners free version the upper level of this number is limited to 500 calls, in Pro version it can be increased indefinitely.

You can set a password for the application, but this function is only available in the paid version of the application. Advertising is also present here.

Supported extensions: WAV, AMR, 3GPP.

Call Recorder by skvalex

This little-known application compared to others is included here for a reason. It has one feature that makes this program stand out from the mass of analogues. This is an opportunity (in some cases) to bypass the manufacturer's restriction on recording calls. In all other respects, Call Recorder is simply very high quality paid application, which will allow you to record a telephone conversation. True, with a wide functionality that is not understandable to everyone, which would not hurt to understand before use.

As for the main functions, everything is clear at first glance: recording, listening, saving, deleting, protecting recordings and synchronizing with the cloud. Since the application is paid, the service here is excellent: you can independently set a template for the names of saved audio, there are extensive audio player settings (even built-in decoders!) and advanced password settings. Instead of shaking there is additional button“Start recording”, which appears in the call menu during a conversation (the user can set the position of the button on the screen independently).

In addition, the filter here is really powerful: separate filter settings for incoming and outgoing calls and the ability to add “exceptions” that will not be affected by standard filter rules.

In addition, the application provides extensive settings for notifications, actions “before” and “after” the call, as well as several design options and recording sources to choose from. Supported recording formats: WAV, MP3, AAC, AMR, FLAC. Eat additional settings

for each format.

Photo gallery: instructions for the Call Recorder application
When you first launch the application, it displays help, explaining that the Main Menu of the application will be displayed here, from here you can access all functions The application supports five formats for recording audio
Setting up a filter for incoming calls: who to record and who not Setting up a filter for outgoing calls: you can select what type of calls will be recorded Here you can set up a filter, exceptions, delay, etc.

Here you can configure the location where recordings are saved, auto-deletion, storage time, etc. Call recordings are stored here, which can be sorted as you wish

Well, the main functions seem to be covered. What about additional ones? It is necessary to immediately make a reservation: before using complex additional methods that require large quantities

time, it is recommended to check all sources first!


They are located in this application along the path “Settings -> Recording -> Standard APIs”. In some cases, changing the recording source works without using special settings, and in this case all subsequent actions become unnecessary.

The main difference between this application and its peers is the additional ability to record telephone conversations through the operating system kernel. The vast majority of similar programs on the market record calls through built-in tools Android systems(API), so if the manufacturer doesn't want anything written to the device, they will usually simply block the ability to use these tools. However, fortunately for the user, built-in APIs are not the only way to record a telephone conversation.

If APIs are blocked, a program can bypass them and directly access the system kernel to perform its function. But for her to be able to do this, the owner must have superuser (root) rights on his device.

Only then will the application be able to access the kernel in order to write through it. So, to use Call Recorder's advanced features to record calls on a device where APIs are blocked, you first need to gain root access and grant superuser rights to the application. You can get superuser rights using special programs to obtain root access (for different devices developed different programs , so you need to select them based on the parameters of your phone or tablet) or according to the instructions in the thread specific device

on the 4pda forum thread. There is no general and uniform way for all devices to obtain root rights. There are many nuances, and ultimately, obtaining root access is different for each model, so it is impossible to write general instructions for obtaining superuser rights. After root access to the device is obtained, you need to give extended rights to the Call Recorder application. Its creators recommend using it for these purposes. popular app

SuperSU: superuser rights manager. If SuperSU or its analogue is installed on the phone, Call Recorder itself will request access through it to obtain root rights. However, that's not all. It is worth immediately noting that among the Call Recorder settings along the “Settings -> Recording” path there is a “Device” item. The program is optimized differently for different devices (this applies specifically to additional features!), so it is recommended to immediately select from the list the one on which the application is running. If on the list it didn’t turn out, you can choose a model with the same processor (which processor is on a particular phone you need to find out on the manufacturer’s website or through special applications, for example, CPU-Z).

How to do this, you can look at the photo instructions:


Once the device is selected, you can move on to the next step. In the same settings section there is a “Recording method” item, which includes both standard APIs and alternative methods, which are named in the application as CAF, ALSA and MSM. It is for these methods to work correctly that root access is required, because they involve accessing directly the kernel of the Android operating system.

It is impossible to determine which of these methods will work without knowing the configuration of a specific device. That is why the creators of the application recommend testing all of them (and using manual, rather than automatic call recording during testing) and, based on the test results, decide which methods work better (and whether they work at all).

Important! Chances are that none of the additional recording tools on the device will work! This is due to the fact that sometimes manufacturers disable the ability to record a conversation at the hardware level, and in this case, no one software method will not help. The only way out in this situation is to buy new phone(or special equipment for wiretapping). According to the application developers, most often phones with a chipset from MediaTek or HiSilicon suffer from such restrictions.

If everything works and telephone conversations finally begin to be recorded, you can relax and breathe out. We can only hope that the opportunities received will be used for good and will help someone. After all, not every reason can make a person work so hard to record a couple of dialogues...

More apps!

If none of the applications presented in the article are suitable, but you want to record calls, you can check out the video reviews of others popular programs to record conversations. After all, there are hundreds and thousands of such applications: you will definitely like one.

On top of that, in the video you can see the application settings and the recording process “in motion” and evaluate whether a particular interface is suitable for the given purposes.

Other ways to record telephone conversations

Even if none of possible programs does not work if the manufacturer has disabled the ability to record calls at the hardware level, but you still need to record the conversation - there is a way out. True, such a solution will cost significantly more even compared to the most expensive app in the Play Market, and its availability within the CIS countries is in question. We are talking about special equipment that allows you to listen to conversations and record them.

Today it is not at all necessary to design something yourself and get into the depths of the phone. Current call recording devices are lightweight, connect to your phone via a 3.5mm headphone jack, have built-in memory, and are sold on Amazon. Another thing is that for the cost of such a thing you can buy a full-fledged smartphone... However, the solution, although not “for everyone,” is real.

This toy is called Cell Phone Recorder, and it is quite difficult to buy it in Russia. But, if you really want it, you can try it.

Finally, it’s worth saying one thing: there are many ways to record a telephone conversation on Android, but using this function, despite its usefulness, is not allowed everywhere and not always. The fact is that some unscrupulous people use this opportunity for criminal purposes, and its abuse is a direct violation of human rights. Therefore, it is not recommended to get too carried away with recording telephone conversations with your friends and business partners. Especially when it comes to people living in a country where recording calls is illegal.

However, if you are not planning any illegal actions, go for it! And convenient modern methods of recording sound will help you with this.

Do I need to buy the program again when changing the device or firmware?

No, the program is tied to your Google account. Therefore, the Play Store should allow you to simply download the program. If the Play Store still offers to buy it, clear the Play Store data and restart the device, it should help.

What's the difference between full and trial versions?

trial version works until a certain date. Full version has no such limitation. There are no other differences.

Yes, you can create a key in Settings > Security. The password from the created key will be used to access the application if you enable the "Ask for password" option. This key will also be used for encryption. Although you will be required to log in to the program using a password, files are stored unencrypted unless you manually encrypt them. Therefore, they can be listened to by anyone from file manager, without any problems.

Sometimes an important conversation needs to be recorded. Especially if it is not possible to fully remember information, without which responsible work is impossible, for example, collecting news from news agencies for a newspaper, calling your superiors to receive instructions, and the like. Or you just need to record the call to have any proof. Special applications for devices based on the Android operating system will help you with this.

Technical limitations of recording telephone conversations from the manufacturer

In some countries, recording telephone conversations is illegal. Manufacturers, instead of setting up each model of smartphone or mobile phone imported into a particular country, erase the software components of the Android operating system responsible for recording telephone conversations. If none of the applications for recording a telephone conversation work, change the firmware and Android kernel or the gadget itself.

Android apps for recording phone calls

There are many applications for recording calls on Android, the most in a simple way is the use of the internal resources of the smartphone.

Record during a call without additional applications

Built-in call recording function is suitable for one-time call recording.

This method is the simplest. The resulting records can be converted to any sound format using third-party audio converters that are not included in the built-in call recorder on your Android device.

Other applications for recording mobile conversations

There are dozens of applications for recording telephone conversations. Several more of them have the same name - Call Recorder. All of them work from the built-in drivers and libraries of the Android operating system. It is thanks to this feature that recording mobile conversations from an Android gadget is available.

You will not be able to record conversations if the manufacturer has erased the drivers and libraries from the Android system kernel from your smartphone - you must install a “custom” (custom) Android kernel before changing the firmware.

All programs for recording telephone conversations are available on PlayMarket.

Recording a conversation is not a problem, given the capabilities of modern gadgets. For this purpose there are third party programs, as well as the capabilities of Android itself. This function is very helpful when you need to remember a large amount of information. The main thing is not to violate a person’s right to personal calls.

Telephone conversation records are records of incoming and outgoing calls that are serviced by an operator cellular communications. Getting your phone records is quite easy. But here's to get the records mobile phone another person, such as a family member or an unfaithful spouse, is much more difficult. This article will tell you what to do if you really need these records.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: How to Access Your Phone Recordings

Check your accounts. If you receive a cell phone bill every month, it will most likely include records of your calls and messages from the most recent billing period.

  • If you don't have a strong need for these records now, but think you might need them in the future, keep them in a safe and secure place.
  • The recordings will include certain standard information, including the date, time the call started, duration of the call, and (sometimes) special features that were activated during the call (such as call recording).

View call records from your phone online. Many telephone companies give their subscribers the opportunity to access the same information you received in the form of a bill on the telecom provider's website. For this. To see your entries, you need to have an online account.

  • Register an account on the operator's website mobile communications if you haven't already done so. You will have to create a unique username (sometimes a phone number or address is used as the username Email) and password. This the process will pass faster if all the account information is at your fingertips.
  • Once you've logged into your account, look for a section called "Call Information" or "Call Log." If on home page If you don't see a similar option, you may need to look for a heading that says "Maintenance." Be aware that with some companies you will only be able to find out about outgoing calls. If you need a full report on phone calls(including incoming calls from telephones that are no longer in service), it is possible that you may not receive such records.
  • If you have lost the recordings that were sent to you or cannot find them online, then call your mobile operator. They are required by law to keep such records and provide them to the person who can prove they are the primary owner of the account.

  • Since your cell phone service provider should have provided you with this information in your monthly statement, they may charge you a fee for re-providing this information.
  • Method 2 of 2: How to Access Another Person's Phone Recordings

    Please review legal restrictions. If the account is not tied to your name in any way, you won’t be able to get another person’s records in a simple way (even calls from your spouse). If you receive records without the consent of the account owner, they will be considered invalid in court.

    Check your payroll phone records. If someone constantly calls you or you suspect that the person with whom you share tariff plan, makes inappropriate calls, then all records will be on the bill for cellular services.

  • Often the recordings will be divided into incoming and outgoing calls. Less organized entries are merged together, but will still contain a list of outgoing and incoming calls.
  • View call records online. As in the previous case, telephone companies must have records of all incoming and outgoing calls that were made to and from the number registered to you. Whether you want to track what number is calling from someone persistently stalking you or are interested in the conversations of your spouse or children, the cellular operator has records that will be useful to you.

  • In order to access call recordings on the operator's website, you will first have to create an account.
  • After you log into your account, find the “Call Information” or “Call Log” section.
  • Call your cellular service provider. Ask them for a new copy of the records if you can't find them any other way. They are required by law to keep such records and provide them to anyone who can prove they are the primary owner of the account.

  • Be prepared to provide personal information that will help the customer service representative identify your account, such as your account number or mobile phone number, current home address and telephone number, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.
  • Obtain records through a court petition. You can obtain telephone records of an estranged spouse as part of a court case by requesting this information from mobile operator through petition. This legal method obtain cell phone call records that your lawyer can use in court.

  • You can only obtain call records through a petition during a court case or divorce. Usually the petition must be approved by the judges, but this depends on the type of proceedings.
  • An alternative to subpoenaing is to purchase phone records from a data broker, who charges a fee for it. These brokers often operate businesses of questionable legality (depending on the methods used to obtain these records), and the resulting records will not be admissible in court.
  • Warnings

    • Data brokers often obtain call records by fraudulent means by calling a cell phone provider and pretending to be the person whose records they want.
