Android design defects-call recording failure

This problem has been discussed for nearly a year on Google Code Android and has not been solved yet. This is the main reason why many people cannot migrate from the Symbian system to the Android system.

Android mobile phones are equipped with powerful hardware and have many practical and innovative features, but there is no basic function of phone recording. Without this function, we cannot:

* The call message function is enabled to enable automatic recording of mobile phones when no answer is available
* Record call details as the basis for memo and team discussion
* Save the call content as legal evidence

Currently, phone recording software in the android electronic market uses microphones to record the voice of each other. This effect is very poor, the sound is small and unclear, and is greatly affected by the environmental noise. In addition, there is echo in the call. Essentially, these are not call recording software.

This is because Android does not provide APIs for obtaining audio output channels. Almost all mobile phone systems, such as Windows, Symbian, and palm, support this function. Android does not support this function, but it is not technically impossible. It should be due to insufficient requirement analysis during system design.

The HTC diamond hardware is almost the same as hero hardware. Unlike the system, diamond can call recording, which means it is not a hardware problem.

Later, Android 1.6 apiprovided support. For details, see mediarecorder.audiosource.html.

Later, the netizens tried and found that no matter how many lines were set, the result was from the mic microphone. In fact, the problem still persists.

The problem still persists when it is transferred to Google groups's Android Developers. This has been discussed for more than half a year. Google has not paid much attention to it and some netizens are angry.

Some people doubt whether it will be a hardware problem. Why does each manufacturer produce Android phones of every model? The strange thing is that the HTC Touch and WM systems also have this problem. It seems that there are more than Android defects, and some HTC chips seem to be limited.

Google does not pay much attention to this issue and tries to fix it with laws and policies (two-way phone recording is not allowed in some U.S. states ). Many netizens are dissatisfied with Google's failure to find a solution. Some netizens said that Google Voice and Skype can both be recorded, but Android cannot be used. Can it be explained by law?

A large number of netizens asked Google to increase the priority of this issue and handle it with bugs. You have started to swear, because Google should not respond to the problem. Later, Android was open-source. I hope someone can solve this problem. The problem is still going on...
Good news

The G2 and G3 with root permissions can now be used for voice recording! This software is Airvoice.
