In Call Recording finally comes to a HTC smartphone
In Call Recording has always been a mythical beast on HTC devices, briefly glimpsed but never captured.
It seems now things are set to change. While the original beta ROM’s of the HTC Touch HD shipped with In Call Recording enabled, the software was stripped from shipping devices in the west, likely for legal reasons.
Fortunately the device did ship in China and Taiwan with the software included, and the cab file to enable it is now available for download on XDA-Developers. The cab is however in Chinese, but a .mui file is also available (to be copied into your \windows directory) to translate the interface to English.
To record a conversation one simply need to start recording from the in call phone menu. The phone call is recorded in low quality highly compressed .amr format, stored in \my documents\my recordings and can be easily transferred to the desktop for archiving.
In addition HTC provided a nice user interface to access your phone calls on the device itself, almost reminiscent of Apple’s visual voice mail.
Listen to an example recording here. (Can be opened in Quicktime)

Wait, it’s illegal to record conversations without permission? Paging the Justice Department . . .

Yes, it is. At least in Norway. The rule is that one of the one in the room or on the phone has to know about it – and thats you.
So, in Norway its legal

^ Just for you…use at your own risk. And this software is allowed in some countries; who said it’s for Americans?

Check your state’s laws on call recording if in doubt: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states.html

On my Touch HD too… but I cant find it afterwords…. There are no recordings stored in my folders…..anywhere
So, I am able to record the calls… just not able to listen to it.

AFAIK it only works on the HD and possibly the Xperia using the HTC Touch HD dialer.

I can’t install it on my Touch HD; I get “Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.”

So it can only be installed on the Touch HD?
No Touch Pro or Diamond?
