Auto-Record rules Unable to select simcard for recording

[GitRadeth]

Thank you for implementing the feature!
However i have an issue with the feature.

Version 1.75
Phone: CPH2493
Android: OxygenOS 14 (CPH2493_14.0.0.560(EX01))

Hmm, in your recordings, does _sim1/_sim2 show up in the filename?

[GitRadeth]

It does not appear so.
Edit, i just checked the filenames and it in the format: +areacode number-(example, 2501030804).mp3
Edit 2:
In the application folder com.chiller3.bcr i get the files in a different format: date_time+timezone_direction_+areacodetelephonenumber.oga

Hmm, can you try enabling the "write metadata file" option and then make a call? It should create a .json file in your output directory. If you open the file, does it list the correct SIM slot at the top? For example:

{
    "timestamp_unix_ms": 1731947273741,
    "timestamp": "2024-11-18T11:27:53.741-05:00",
    "direction": "out",
    "sim_slot": 1,
...

Also, can you double check that BCR has the "phone" permission? It is required for BCR to be able to see the SIM slot.

I just called myself.

The app does have the phone permission.

Also, to verify that the phone has two slots :)

Thanks! I downloaded the ROM you're running (CPH2493_14.0.0.560) and unfortunately, it looks like this feature won't be able to work on your device.

Although dual SIM is supported, the stock ROM does not support Android's internal android.hardware.telephony.subscription feature. This makes it impossible for apps like BCR to find out which SIM a call is associated with.

[GitRadeth]

Ok, thanks anyway! Keep up the good work :)

[chenxiaolong]

Actually, could you give this test build a try? BCR-1.75.r4.g090280e-release.zip

OxygenOS doesn't declare support for android.hardware.telephony.subscription, but maybe it's supported anyway. This test build removes BCR's check and tries to access the SIM slot information even if Android claims it's not supported.

I do not have the option to make a sharp test as it is way into the night here. However i tried calling from one sim to the other, and the json file actually seem to recognize the simcard now! However i cannot test the potential fix until tomorrow :)

20250104_012817.486+0100_OUT_sim1_0733882631.json

Edit, i also see the option in the rules now to specify the sim card for recording.

Edit #2 i will return with confirmation tomorrow :)

[GitRadeth]

Update:
The fix seems to work flawlessly i made a rule to only record on simcard 2 and set the default rule to ignore.
It does only record on simcard 2 and not on simcard 1 as intended.

Thank you for taking the time to help me, it is much appreciated!

Have a nice weekend!

[chenxiaolong]

Awesome, glad it's working! The fix will be included in the upcoming 1.76 release. In the meantime, feel free to continue using the test build. (There's no downside to doing so.)

Hope you have a great weekend as well!
