Weird WhatsApp voice notes bug - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi community, hope you can help me out on this one.
I've recently acquired a new Galaxy S9+, model number SM-G9650 (Latin America and China models) and I'm getting an error in the WhatsApp app in which it doesn't let me listen to my sent voice messages, with a message popping up saying "it doesn't exist on my SD card". Everything else in the app works the way it should; even the receiver can listen to the voice message, but I can't. Phone is running stock Android 8.0, updated with the latest firmware.
I don't know if here is the right place to ask this but I've never had error before in any phone I used, plus I can't find anything on Google, so sorry in advance if that's the case.
Thanks!
Edit: I just noticed I can only listen to voice messages of no more than 1 second. I'm clueless.

Confirmed the bug on a stock Nougat Lenovo vibe k6. Clueless also.

Force closing stock dialer on Chinese Dev edition ROM

Hello.
I'm still on Chinese Dev Edition ROM 6.5.1. I don't update to next versions because since 6.5.16 I have had problems with stock dialer. The dialer always force close when I try to get into information list about people who's are listed in calling history (information about that person plus history of calls). If I remove that person and all calling history I'm able to get into that information window about that person but immediately after this person is in calling history and I try to open that window my dialer force closes. The same behavior of dialer I observed in all ROM updates - 6.5.16, 6.6.1, up to 6.7.16. I like that dialer because of calls history with possibility of listening record of specific call.
Does any of you know how to solve that issue?
Sorry for my bad English.

Samsung S phone or Google phone app port to block SPAM calls

Hello folks,
For few month now, I get random calls where there is only 2 to 3 number difference between my phone number and the caller number. I usually do not answer and I turned off my voicemail as well. If I answer the phone, the line cuts off right away.
I used to use Hiya app but it has lost the edge that it had in the past.
I came across an article from The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/6/1...op-block-robocalls-robots-scam-iphone-android) that Google's phone app and Samsung's S phone app has in built spam call blocker. I knew of Google's app but not Samsung's.
I am running Optimized Lineage OS 15.1 on my Galaxy S4 Play Edition. Any possibility that either of the above mentioned apps have been ported?
Anybody else getting similar calls and found a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Any joy with a Call Recorder?

Anyone found a working Call Recorder yet? I've tried several and no joy (some do nothing - including the one from the Huawei 'App Gallery', others record the first second or so really quietly, and then just disappear)
Shame, I had finally found one for S9+ which worked flawlessly... but had to bin off the S9+ due to the enforced 'no dual sim and memory card' issue.
Another thing, can't seem to find how to change system fonts. Seen elsewhere that it has to be done through Themes or such... but can't find any options for font changing within any themes I've tried.
Use the Theme apps to change fonts.

If you need this (i do sometimes too), xiaomi is better. It has this option in OS.
Even Samsung removed this function from android 9
It's Android 9 that makes this so difficult, many developers trying to figure this out.
I use ACR Cube, and it works fine for me

It works spot on for me on my M20 Pro, P20 Pro and S8

Hi, can you post which audio source you selected in the app (Voice Call, Voice Call (software), etc..), and other possible useful information about that app settings and related phone settings (ex. battery optimization of that app) that you are currently using?
Unfortunately I was unable to make it record phone calls whichever source I selected, files were created but completely silent...
Thanks.

Would be interested to at least check this out - as most places say its an Android 9 problem, but Google Play (and the link you provide) say not compatible with device. Did you get it from somewhere else?
Curious as you say it works on your M20 Pro.
I installed that app from the Google Play store using another smartphone, then copied the ipk to the Mate 20 Pro and then installed the app.
The app runs apparently fine, but in my tests recorded files were always completely blank, whichever setting combination used.

Hola
As others have asked, can you please share the configuration settings you have used for this app? Many of us are really interested in finding a solution.

Hello,
Unfortunately, the problem is connected with your Android version. In Android 9, the possibility to record the caller's voice was blocked, and now it is a known issue for all users with this OS version. We are doing our best to find a workaround. So far as we know, no other call recording apps have a solution for this yet.
Some people have informed that in new security updates was progress in call recording. I suggest to follow updates on Google Issue Traker. It's issue 112602629. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
(I could not send outside links as new user, google it (-: )

I have the new Huawei mate 20 Pro, initially I couldn't get any of the call records working on my Android phone. It would record my voice and not the other persons I honestly have no idea what has now happened but it is actually working, what's even more strange it's working better than it ever work before on any of my previous handsets. Previously on my Google pixel Android phone I could only record the other person while the phone was on loudspeaker. At the moment I can record all outbound and inbound calls perfectly well it's been like this for about 2month.

I'm using, after a lot of searching, Boldbeast Recorder available on Google play. You imperatively must set the Record Mode to 14. Works perfect as long as you turn on the speaker when you send a call!

While I'm on a call, I can't use voice search. I used to be able to use voice search

When I call my girlfriend/friends I like to read the news and search things up as we talk. As you can imagine, I prefer using VOICE SEARCH as opposed to TYPING.
Well what do you know... ANDROID made it where if I'm on a phone call, I cannot use my VOICE SEARCH feature. I was always able to do this on my Samsung S8+. I bought a OnePlus 7T and now I am not able to do this.
I was about to return my phone for that reason but when I went to the Verizon store and tested out the new SAMSUNG S20 ULTRA, it's the same thing. It seems the "geniuses" at Google disabled this feature for whatever reason. Please tell me there is a way around this.
I have already deleted and disabled Google Chrome and Google Search widget because I can't watch videos while I'm on a phone call. I've confirmed this is the case with all the recent Android phones out. I found a fix around that though: FIREFOX and FIREFOX SEARCH WIDGET.
I'm losing my mind I am starting to hate Android more and more they keep making our lives more difficult. Please help me before I switch to an Apple device!
My phone info:
OnePlus 7T (model HD1905)
Build:
Oxygen OS 10.0.9.HD65AA
Android Version:
10
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

On my note 8 I used to have a problem that irritated me. From time to time google assistant will pop up when I am using speaker phone..
Sometimes it's bixby..
It is very irritating. Then the problem just vanished. Wasn't really paying attention so im not sure which update removed it.
But to me it's nice that it's removed.
You might want to check if siri will work while on the phone before switching camps.

Thank you for the response.
It has nothing to do with the voice search app. it seems when I am on a phone call my microphone is disabled for any type of voice input other than talking on the phone call. It doesn't matter what the app is. This wasn't the case on my Galaxy s8 plus and I have confirmed that this is the case for the new Galaxy s20 as well.
