Hi,

Thanks for the Great app. It works fine with Android 2.3(Gingerbread) but 
doesn't work with android 4.1.1. Details are given below for reference.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Install the app in device which has Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean). The app says 
"Unfortunately, cannot record audio on this device". The same apk is working on 
Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
To record calls seamlessly in Android 4.1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 4.1.1 - Sony xperia E Dual (C1604) [App is not working]
Andorid 2.3.6 - Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos S6802 [App is work good]

Please provide any additional information below.
The log says "Start Failed".
call recorder Exception: Start Failed.
android.media.MediaRecorder.start(Native Method)
com.android.RecordService.onStartCommand(RecordService.java:139)
...

Please let know how can we use the app on Android 4.1

Thanks,
Muthu.

I'm using app version 2.0.3 downloaded from f-droid. My device is Samsung 
Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, android version is 4.3

I start the application and enable call recording. When a call starts, I get a 
notification from the app that it started recording. When the call ends, I also 
get a notification that recording ended.

Opening the app, it shows a list of previous calls to choose from.

However, the recordedCalls folder is empty. There are no files (no hidden files 
either).

app from google play is working fine for me which was updated on january 2014. 
I found that when i compiled apk from source code the recording files are not 
getting created in recordedcall folder.
I think RecordService.java has been changed after that. See url to see 
difference.
I changed below line and its working fine for me, I dont know the difference 
but at least anyone can give it a try.

String filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() 
//OR getPath();

I did a fork of this application into github, I also made some changes to the 
code for the application to properly handle call events and services, I have 
tested it with android 4.1.2 and it is working so far, please check it out to 
see if it works in your device too
