SamFW Tool to the rescue! I changed my CSC code to INS which enabled call recording. Downside is that Samsung Pay is unreliable but not sure if that's related to this change. Personally, I'd take call recording over Samsung Pay.
SamFW is for Samsung phones, right?
What is the native call recorder like? Does it have an option to record all calls automatically? Is it silent to the other party?
I forgot to say... Samsung only! It's a basic recorder, records automatically, no audible notification as far as I'm aware (that might depend on the CSC code you use and legal requirements of that country). Playback is from within the recent calls list.
Is it easy to copy all the files off the phone?
They're just files saved to some location on the phone. So it's as easy as copying or transferring any file.
Do you remember if it's a location accessible by all apps with permission, or a location private to the recording app?
I've seen both in recording apps.
Good question... Accessible to all apps so you can copy, move, sync.
Thanks for all the information.
It looks like Samsung with SamFW and CSC change is a viable option without rooting.
My pleasure, let us know how you get on.
My S21 FE has automatic call recording natively, you only have to go to the settings and enable it.
That's probably because you're in a country whose CSC code allows recording.
Which country/CSC are you in? India?
Brazil
I have now tested CSC changing with SamFW, and changing to SEK (Ukraine) enabled native call recording in a Samsung Galaxy device. The change persists even after inserting SIM card.
You can automatically record calls. No audible notifications to the other end. Files are saved to
/storage/emulated/0/Recordings/Call/, so you can use other apps to copy them elsewhere.
