Change Region / Enable Native Call Recorder on EU Device? - Oppo Reno 2 Questions & Answers

Any creative ideas on how to enable the Stock Call Recorder?
I learned that it's disabled in Software and could be enabled with an editor if I had root (Realme Post explaining how) - but is there another way without root or to change the Region to make it think it was in India for example?
I already factory-reset, choosing India Region on first boot. Did the same with Thailand and with a Thai Sim, but none of that worked.

Bump ... anyone? Or any third party solution?
I tried Skvalex and Cube ACR but the quality is piss poor.
Even considered selling my German Phone and ordering a Chinese Variant, but apparently that comes without LTE Band 20.
I desperately need call recording, hugely frustrating because by now I fell in Love with this phone. The battery life alone is nothing short of incredible - but I can't use it as my day to day phone without call recording.

Not for me. Are you on ColorOS 7 / Android 10?
Can you share your settings?

[SOLVED]Incoming diverted call notification

I'd like to bring again into attention this lack of functionality of both Android and WinMo devices.
As far as I know, with the exception of Nokia and some Sony-Ericson devices, no others notify about receiving a call made on a diverted phone.
That is, if I have 2 numbers (A and B) and A is diverted to B, if I receive a call on A I don't see a "diverted" icon (or sign of any kind) on the phone with number B.
Still no solution or software for this?
P.S. Also when you call somebody and you are waiting on line (the other party has "call waiting" activated), there is no "waiting" sign to notify you.
This call waiting issue is also present on iPhone. I don't understand why these two functions are not present in smartphones (except Nokia Symbian) and at the same time the cheapest dumb phones have them
Actually, call waiting works for me. Whenever I am on a call and someone else calls, I hear a beep and I can see on the screen that I have another call. If I don't answer, the other call stays in my call history as an unanswered call.
About the first issue, I wondered about that too. I had a really dumb Sony Ericsson phone which supported this feature.
P.S. I misread your call waiting issue... Whenever I call someone who has call waiting I get a beep that tells me I am waiting... However, as far as I know this is an operator feature. On another operator a voice actually tells you to wait because the other party is talking.

I didn't switch to another operator, I just switched from Nokia E66 to iPhone and later to Legend when I lost that feature.
i get another issu too !!
and am sure you all get it ..
in (smart) dumb phones when i call my manager (and my manager is already talking in a call with his wife for example) it gives me different call sound tone, to notify me he is in a call so i stop calling and wait to call again later ...
in (stupid) smart phones, Windows Mobile and Legend !
if i call my manager and he is already in a call, i never hear anything to notify me! so i dont stop my call , and it really seems so stupid and disturbing from me sometimes !
the reason is what ?
i dont really know ....
is it that much hard to put these simple options ?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11026
... suggests that the functionality is within the stock Android dialler, but not in the HTC dialler. Use a ROM that allows you to install the standard dialler and use that by default?

I was talking about "call waiting" notification when you are calling someone that has call waiting function, not when you are the one that is called and you're notified about a second incoming call. biomy explained better the idea that I was talking about.
And no, there is not about the operator. You can have a nokia on any carrier, it'll work the same. It's just the way the phone or it's software decodes the incoming call signal. As this is received by all phones the same, I presume any phone/software can decode it in the same way nokia is doing if it has this implemented. As far as I know though, there is no application on the market (paid or free) that does this simple thing. I'm sure most of us will even pay for it.
Same here.. All calls from my boss diverted to my number if he didn`t pick up phone in 10 seconds.. My old Nokia 6233 show green arrow for diverted calls, but no any notification about it with my Samsug Galaxy Spica and Samsung Galaxy S.

Any updates on this please?
I have the same issue. No diverted call icon when an incoming call which has been diverted comes through
No update...seems like nobody has found a solution to it. Still waiting, pity we don't have such thing
Maybe we're not so many that needs this, in order for someone to start looking and develop something. My hope is that a developer will need this feature at some time and he'll start doing it. (or we should find a Nokia with Android )
If some android phones have the diverted call notification (galaxy s on 2.1) can the code be ported to other devices?
I divert calls from my work phone to my personal mobile, and really need to be able to tell when I'm receiving a diverted call from my work number
Samsung is the second phone brand that includes this in all or most of their phones. Doesn't matter if it's Android or not, Nokia and Samsung has this feature (and as I know they're the only ones to do it).
Maybe there is hope if an Samsung Android phone (Galaxy S) has it...maybe there will be a developer that will try to find a way or reverse engineer the ROM to find the code for it. I am willing to pay for it for sure and I'm sure some other will as well.
Diverted Call Display app for Android
After the issue bothered me enough, I have made an attempt at detecting incoming diverted calls.
The app is using the device log to find out if an incoming call is diverted, and thus needs READ_LOGS permission. READ_PHONE_STATE is needed to get notified about incoming calls.
So far the app has been tested on CyanogenMod 5 and 7 on GSM/UMTS phones. It probably won't work at all on CDMA devices and neither on devices which already implement any type of diverted call notification.
Please test if it works for you and tell me your Android firmware version (and if it's an AOSP-based community firmware).
Nexus S 3G i9023, CM7.1.0-NS - works well )) Thank you.
Xperia Arc 2.3.4 original rom OK.
I would like to be saved in the call log.
It works perfect in HD2, HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0 [CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9].
Thanks
That's a great thing, you've made...alot of people happy.
Unfortunately, I've changed my Legend and replaced it with a Desire S. Playing with other ROMs, I've finally installed a MIUI ROM and it seems this "diverted notification" IS integrated in MIUI. So for me the problem was solved by having a MIUI ROM. Though I'll ask my friend who's now the owner of my ex Legend to test this...he's still using CM 7.1 on it.
Works fine on Motorola Defy with MIUI 2.3.5.
Thank You very much Ge0rG for such a beautiful solution of that problem.
Can you please add to your application notification for "call waiting" and "on hold"?
Because Motorola's and HTC's doesnt have this features.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
P.S. I was talking about "call waiting" notification, when you are calling someone that has call waiting function & you call him on the second line.
Brilliant... Works a treat for me...
HTC Desire HD - Stock (Orange UK) ROM.
Android 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.55.10
Thanks - brilliant idea and well implemented - congratulations.

Works on Nexus One with actual cyanogenmod nightly (cm_passion_full-253, 7.2.0-RC0(?)). Perfekt!
It will be great, if this could be included in cyanogenmod directly.

No offense, but did you really read all those links you just posted??
1) Android by itself doesn't have native video calling
2) Only Samsung added native video calling to THEIR version of Android
3) Even if you had native video calling your carrier has to support it and give you access to that service, it isn't just an automagical thing
4) According to what I've read (but I may be wrong), video calls over data network are much better and cheaper than 3g video calls
So, there's no way to make a "native video call apk", because it's a much deeper issue, you would need to modify the phone framework and add A LOT of things (which is no easy task).
Even if you had that, that won't work for squat if your carrier doesn't support video calling, I know for a fact that no carrier in the U.S. (and probably no carrier in America, the continent, not the self-absorved country does).
You can read more from a technical standpoint here (there's a whitepaper and all).

Agree 100%,here native 3g calls are lot cheaper than data charges. Besides how am I supposed to give a video call to someone who own a phone like SE C510 ? non-smartphones don't have apps like skype to video call via data :/
I really hope SE will add native 3g calls in ICS,cos without this front cam is useless for me :/
paying 290$'s for phone with front cam and there is no way to give a 3g call to my gf and family is kinda pointless

I have gone through all the links out of interest. Surely many are not aware of 3G video calling (non data).
Google is purposely not using native 3G video(non-data) calling because it wants to promote Gtalk, third party companies apps, and use of internet plans. Same with Sony etc. Extra revenue is their main aim.
But what's the use ? All other chat-apps offer video calling via data. People will slowly notice this cheating business.
So google should introduce it by themselves in their new and old versions by default, or people will move on to other phones.
I also request the XDA friends to create a customised app/Rom which can be easily modded and inserted in any rooted android phone.
We dont want cheap or costly simply we are askinh about can we make a video call like a audio call through service provider without any help of wifi or internet.
We want call like nokia n73 or samsung grand prime u can make a video call trough dailer and its cost like audio call per socond.

call recording for non root?

My S5 was rooted, and the rom I used had an option to record calls from the in call menu. Now I have an s9+ and this is the feature I miss the most. A lot of the apps seem shady. Can anyone recommend an app / method to record calls without it beeping or anything, without root, ideally from within the in call menu (easy to do on the fly)
Call recording
This has been covered quite a few times and is very easy to search. There is an app called ACR that performs the function you need without root.
We really do not need another thread on this
I am not OP, BUT I have not gotten ACR to work on the s9+ with Verizon - do you mind sharing your settings with me?

Pixel 3 new security update.

I read online the new december patch that came out, made changes to the AOD. I just noticed.. that when a notification comes in, its like a rain drop. The app icon drops from the top of the screen, and bounces into position.
Is there anything else you have noticed.
It fixed the imbalanced and distorted speakers of the Pixel 3 XL
Apps persist in the background longer so switching is smoother.
Does anyone know if the update fixed the issue with the pixel stands and audio notifications or lack there of?
I noticed that battery life is really shorter with december update...
It fixed a few things for me:
- I used to have phone call problems like people suddenly can't hear me - this seems now resolved.
- the usb-c headphones are now detected every time when I plug them in - before it often wouldn't detect them
- phone seems smoother

Seems normal to me, it just takes a day or two for the system to adjust caches and optimize the battery again. They probably tweaked the battery AI as well.

It doesn't beep on your side, but it does beep for your recipient, and it's also provider dependant. Tried using EE SIM, no beeping, then put back my Vodafone SIM and beeping is back. This article here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/call-recording-tone-implemented-android-t3876483 did say the tone will only be activated if carrier wants it. Damn Vodafone, wish I knew it before signing 24 months contract with them. Now my only hope is that someone with Vodafone and brains good enough will find how to deactivate this new Android feature...

I can't answer that. I didn't use it on other phones, and haven't used any other call recorders on the Pixel 3, so can't compare it. I just checked my battery usage and it doesn't even show up on the list of apps using battery, so certainly not a battery hog when not on a call. I don't make many calls so haven't noticed any abnormal battery usage with it installed. It has a visible button on the call screen so it's easy to start or stop the recording if you want.

It might have been November's or previous update, but it's one of those released after the article was written (February if I remember correctly). The fact that you don't have a beep means your network carrier did not activate this new Android feature. Vodafone did :crying:

Ok. Can't dispute what you're saying. Seems odd that Google Fi wouldn't conform to Google's Android spec, but I'm not complaining. Might be related to Google Fi using other carriers, Sprint and T-Mobile, in the US since it appears from your observation it's carrier dependent. Our call recording laws vary by State as well which could complicate implementation here.

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-call-recording-tone-support-record-phone-calls-lawfully/
Android P will add Call Recording Tone support so you can Record Phone Calls Lawfully
Android P will be adding support for a call recording tone so users on certain carriers will be aided in recording phone calls lawfully, according to a series of recent commits. This is not native support of call recording being added to Android P which already exists but is not implemented by most OEMs. This is simply so that a user on the other end of a phone call can be made aware the phone call is being recorded, and will only be enabled if the carrier wishes the device to play the tone.
The tone is a 1400Hz note that will play every fifteen seconds if the carrier enables it. It works by detecting the package name of a call recording app using the previously linked API. If any such package is detected, then the outgoing call will have the tone played to warn the other end that their call may be recorded. The tone will be automatically played depending on carrier configuration, which is determined by the SIM card.
According to the commits, Vodafone Germany is the only carrier that this call recording tone support will be mandated (for now), as the MCC/MNN combination mentioned in one of the files matches Vodafone’s carrier identity: 26202. This was likely done because Germany is two-party consent when it comes to call recording, not one party like some other countries. This means that the person on both ends of the phone line needs to know that they are being recorded, and calls may not be recorded without each party’s consent.

Basically I tested it as I'm with Vodafone and I get beeping (well, the other party hears it really, not me as I'm recording), and then tested with EE network and no beep there.

I'm in the UK too. You must have some app recording, because as soon as I switch off ACR, beeping stops. I've lost my hope to find a solution as issue is isolated to one carrier and not too many people will care, wish I didn't sign up with Vodafone for 24 months now...

You can go into the phone and choose the hamburger option on it and choose Bixby text call.

It will be interesting to see comparison between Google Screen Call vs Bixby in action. Since I switched to Pixel 7 Pro and using Screen Call and so spam calls are less now. I hade before like about 12 calls per month now I have maybe one call per month. So on unknown numbers I use Screen call.

I don't think they really compare. On the Pixel the screener works automatically. On the Galaxy, you have to select it each time a call comes in. It's not very convenient to use at all because of it requiring input on each call. Until they make it work automatically, it won't compare to the Pixel's implementation. Also, for some reason, it doesn't work when you're on wifi calling.
