I (think) I’m on a roll now… ;-)

I’ve managed to set up a profile to get Tasker to record all incoming
calls. Don’t know if this is the optimum way but this is what I’ve
done (and it works):

EVENT - Phone - Phone Ringing - [Call Number -*]
ACTION - Media - Record Audio - Source [Call Incoming] [File - /Tasker/
In/%CNUM %CDATE %CTIME

What I want to do now is the same but for all outgoing calls. I’ve set
the profile up (virtually) the same (destination as [/Tasker/Out/…)
but the variables (%CNUM %CDATE %CTIME) only refer to the number, date
and time of the last call received.

I could replace %CDATE with %DATE and %CTIME with %TIME but how do I
get the outgoing number into a user-defined variable (I presume that’s
what I’ll have to do)?

Thanks

Sorry, they're not available. I have put it on todo.

Is this (call recording) possible?

Or is this only record your voice, but not the other end?

Does this mean that I can't put the outgoing number into a user-
defined variable either? Any suggestions if there is a way?

Thanks

2 sided (incoming) call recording works on my Wildfire

Short of using Tasker to place your calls for you, I can't think of
any way to set that information.

Nice ... I have tested this on my HTC Desire (stock ROM, 2.2 official
update).

The recording was OK. I could hear the both voices although not that
clear nor loud.

I wish the recording quality is a bit better, but probably this is
Android limitation?

Ok how did you get it to stop recording?
I got it set up like you explained but it continues to record after
The call is over !

Create a profile for "PHONE IDLE" event

And use Task = Stop audio recording

You might need a variable to check if it is recording or not.

I didn't need to. As soon as the call ended so did the recoding and
Tasker returned all settings to their previous state.

Not in my case ... HTC Desire.

I must explitly turn off the audio recording.

I'd like to ask if you would please upload that profile onto this
group's files page? I'd like to try to download it because every time
I try to get this idea to work for myself, it just does not work
correctly.

Thanks

Jim

I figured out that audio source recording just doesn't work for
Motorola Milestone.
