A "call" is recorded even when it did not start (Sailfish OS 5)

REPRODUCIBILITY: always
OS VERSION: 5.0.0.43
HARDWARE: Jolla C2
UI LANGUAGE: English (UK)
REGRESSION: no (“Record calls automatically” feature introduced in SFOS 5)

DESCRIPTION:

A call recording is started in situations when there was nothing to be recorded:

  • A call was initiated, but then was stopped by a user (before other party answered)
  • Someone called, but a user did not respond

In first situation the system is counting seconds of waiting on the line as a “call”, and in second situation it is counted as a “00:00:00” call:

After that a “call recording” (with no sound) is added to the list of recorded calls:

These empty recordings should not be created, considering also that there is no quick way to delete many recorded calls in the UI (only one by one).

PRECONDITIONS:

“Record calls automatically” feature should be enabled in Phone settings

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Enable automatic call recording
    • Start a call with no answer from the other side, then end it
    • Receive a call but don’t answer it
  2. Go to the list of recorded calls

EXPECTED RESULT:

No calls are recorded when there was no actual call (one party was not involved)

ACTUAL RESULT:

Empty call recordings

MODIFICATIONS:

I have several apps installed from Storeman / OpenRepos. No patches.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I believe it would be correct if both notification and call recording appeared only if a call was successful (two parties were involved), otherwise such calls should be ignored.

Also valid in my Xperia 10 [5.0.0.55]. Plenty of unanswered calls in the list of recordings.

Phone records all sounds when ringing. So, if someone talks near my phone when the phone is ringing, those words will be recorded.

On Xperia XA2 same. Hope that in next updates this feature will be done.

Same on my Xperia 10 III as well, also on 5.0.0.55
