Note: Possible cause is permission issues because the files are not accessible below /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged path when not using devel-su. The directory is accessible only to “privileged” user and group even if the files and directories below have ownership to nemo and group to privileged.

Wouldn’t that already be a legal problem? The function is illegal if the counterpart is not informed that a call is recorded. To now share a recorded phone call would be a next “illegal” step…

#3

Oh, come on! That depends entirely on the the local legislation. For example here it is legal as long as one party consents, no need to inform the other. Also; solving social issues with technology isn’t a good idea… remember DRM anyone?

Sounds like it is potentially an access permission issue, but since it appeared before SailJail and wasn’t solved with the sharing rework in 4.2, it is probably more basic than jailing.

Hi, this is nothing to do with the legality of the feature which exist already. It used to work before, but not now.

Sorry, I can’t help with your problem, but I don’t really understand what’s going on here. The original Jolla Phone from what I remember never received the function to record calls, that was only added to Jolla C/Aqua Fish onwards. The Call Recorder app available on OpenRepos has always worked and still works, though, and is arguably more convenient to use. Perhaps you ‘hacked’ Jolla’s call recording functionality onto the Jolla 1 and the hack is no longer working?

#6

Jolla1 did have facility to record calls, I’m looking at the settings page for Phone right now, under the “Call recording” submenu. (Settings/Apps/Phone) (SFOS 3.4).

One option to turn call recording on/off and the other is ‘Recorded calls’, tap on this, another window opens showing recorded calls, if any. As for sharing, no idea, that may require some manual input to shift the recorded message to where it can be sent, it may also mean changing the file extension to something like ‘.txt’ to make it acceptable for sending by BT for example.
