Phone call recording via StealthGenie app - Impossible once call connects?? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello!
I stupidly threw down for 12 month subscription of StealthGenie to monitor my teenager that struggles with drugs.
I thought I would be able to record the phone calls as per StealthGenie's advertising. Turns out, on the Samsung Galaxy S III , once a call connects the recording goes completely wonky. You can almost hear the back and forth of a phone conversation, but it is like the gain is set way too high ,so everything is far too distorted and staticy to make out.
What's weird is that it only happens when a call CONNECTS. If the phone is just ringing (not being answered), or I activate the "record surroundings" feature, the recording is fine and I can hear everything.
I suspect it may have something to do with the noise reduction feature. I will shut this off and try again but, does anyone know why this might be happening and anything else I could try to resolve it??
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!!!
...
Don't buy stealthGenie btw. They will not refund you if this feature doesnt work ......... although no where on the website will they tell you it doesnt work for Samsung Galaxy S III. Ialso cant find anyone else that says it doesnt work, or do i HAve any idea how I can fix it.
(I also tested the 3gp AMR-NB audio file for any problems and it does not have any. Its a problem with the software OR the phone itself)

Try these two... a little static too, but atleast you get the job done. But I hope you know its illegal to record calls without notifying the other party, let alone recording your son's calls secretly.

Just feed your teenager some tough love, take the phone away from them, make em get a job and threaten them with rehab
hmmm......

Same issue
I am experiencing the same issue. Did disabling noise cancellation resolve in any way? I think this might be hardware related, and that once the microphone kicks in, it might simply be too close to the speaker to effectively record. On the other hand, I've heard of apps that record well on the Samsung S3.

Not in Texas . You can record calls just fine in Texas without telling anyone on the other line.

Thanks for reminding.
Thanks for your reminding. I'm seeking the phone monitoring software, and have searched online, a lot of apps come out including StealthGenie. I saw Mobile Spy is very popular online, but it is a little expensive and can't try before purchase. Another quite popular is iKeyMonitor, I downloaded its free edition, its features are limited, but it really works well so far.

looks good. but it is not free.

MOD EDIT HDser Comment removed as it is not in line with our site policy
while browsing trough my windows folders, stumbled uppon record.exe, or something, it was build in by windows, but has been removed, at least, not able to start it up, maybey a way to install it again
I have tried this software, and the voice of the person that talked with me was very low.

I totally agree
It works well if you put the speakers on during the call.
I know this way everybody in the room will hear the convo, but.. it works.
LOL.
Audio notes touch just not good enough...
It doesnt record the one you are talking with (you can vagely hear the other person, as the microphone picks up some of the sound from the personal loudspeaker).
I would like to record all of my calls (crispy clear sound from both parts), and I cant run around with the back side speaker on.
Anny suggestions?
Another ROM update or maybe another program?
thnx..

[Q] Call Recording

Hi guys
I have a s5660, running CM7.
Would like to record phone calls automatically, even if it is just my own voice and not the other party (although both would be great). I understand there are some limitations, and I don't want to have to use speaker mode.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I have Tasker... Or if someone could recommend a good app that will do it on the s5660 I don't mind spending a few $$.
i have used so many apps of call recording but i cannt find a good working app....
i think devs should think about it n make for us a stable working app of call recording....
I agree, there are many apps, but no one can do the job right. I tried 3 apps but no result, sometimes the person on other end Notices a BEEP every 30 sec or so, for me i go with Old LG KG200 with built in Call record function, smooth and fine, no loud speakers no Beep. I think i over write about Lg,, but i love my Lg. hehehe
try tape-a-talk app... it worked great for me.
not auto recording though (free version at least)

Microphone not working anymore

Hello everyone,
the microphone of my Note II does not really work anymore.
When on an active phone call, the other phone does not hear anything, only a minimal staitc which is pretty normal.
Also voice recording does not record anything.
The only working audio I get is when using the camcorder to shoot a video.
Here it seems also a lot quiter than it was before.
Restarting the phone does not help at all.
Did anyone else have that problem before?
My last idea would be to do a hard reset and hope for the best...
Best regards.

how about using ung headset? can the other line hear you? try using voice recorder and see if you can record your voice. if so, then it's a hardware issue. time to visit your sammy service center.
what happened before you lost it?
Hi,
Hope you are not keeping your little finger over the mic, covering it up.
Cheers!!!

silent phone calls

I keep having phone calls where I can't hear the other person and vice versa. Seems to be related to my Bluetooth connection to a Gear S3 as disabling Bluetooth usually fixes it (but then sometimes it randomly sides itself with Bluetooth on and I haven't done detailed testing).
I'm on Fi, but have been for awhile and never had this problem with my previous phone... I am using the software sim.
Anyone else experiencing similar, or know anything about it?

Make sure under the phone app that the hearing aid accessibility option is off

It's off. I should add, there's not even the sound of the ring, just dead silence and the timer starts, then eventually a disconnect. That's making me think the audio is being sent somewhere besides the speaker (even though the icon says speaker).

I get that to from time to time. It's as if the audio is routed to my watch but nothing actually comes out of the watch.

If your not connected to anything (Bluetooth) and the volumes are maxed out and you have nothing, it's RMA time. Have you tried the good ol' factory reset? Last resort

Interesting thought, though it definitely feels like software to me so I'm not rma'ing just yet.

I legit have the EXACT same issues. I also have a Gear S3. It only happens the first time I call, and then, if I hang up and call the number right back, it's a normal phone call. Have you figured out a fix yet? It's really a nuisance. Thanks in advance!

Seems better after the last two Tizen updates, but honestly I don't make enough phone calls to be certain.
Go to Bluetooth setting and choose ur watch setting and disable phone calls should fix it,i have huawe watch 2 and same problem.

Redmi note 5 pro microphone problems

Hi there,
So i bought redmi note 5 global version which seems to be identical to note 5 pro. Problem is during skype calls and even phone calls the recipient can not hear me clearly most of the time. Sound becomes muffled and incomprehensible, person can hear me but can't make out what i am saying. It does not happen constantly, issue comes and goes. I am on 9.6.4 MIUI version.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Could it be firmware issue or charging pcb microphone issue. I don't feel like dealing with warranty since i have sensitive data on my phone, i spent ages setting everything up and it would probably take long time to get it back. I was thinking to replace microphone pcb myself since they can be purchased for 10 buckaroos and replacement it is easy and straightforward.
Does anyone have some insight into the problem or has dealt with it themselves.
Cheers
miui 10 is out
please upgrade and try
So i upgraded to MIUI 10 and issue persists, doing some reading it seems during voice call apps like skype top noise canceling mic goes bananas and messes up sound for recipient.
I feel changing bottom mic pcb won't do anything. There were posts about disabling noise canceling but for some reason those posts are taken down.
Does anyone know a fix other than throwing my phone against the wall. I need to use skype a lot, i've gotten used to my lil redmi, would be shame to buy smth else.

Have you tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...gisk-fix-bad-camcorder-audio-quality-t3828711
It fixes the static background noise in recorded videos,but it might work in skype too
I have the same issues like Dzessi.
Mic is an garbage, unusable. Allmost all the time is not working properly, expecially in games or apps (voice chat) is low, high, diatorcions, radio white sharping noise, echo. I ve tryd everything on YouTube an papa Google, nothing solve it. I receive it in September as my bd gift, and I can't enjoy it, so frustrating I never write so many mesages on apps since I ve got an Java phone, nobody wants to voice chat anymore, (my brother recorded me and send me the voice message on whatsapp) well, I didn't voice chat whit me allsow in that horrible noise. If someone can help me solve this I ll be so happ. thanks in advance
I also have the same problem. Some say that some of you talk nice we do not hear you. Does anyone know the way to overcome it?
