The short answer is that Motorola, under contract to AT&T, has apparently removed critical code from the Android OS and the US versions of this phone will never be able to record calls in the full manner that Android normally supports. That problem is not unique to these phones and why the OS has been crippled this way, apparently in violation of the Google Android license terms, is a whole other question.
Bottom line, if someone got here from a search engine? If you want to record calls on an Atrix, you need to buy the Chinese mainland version, or root your phone and install custom firmware in order to restore the functions, which are in the Chinese distribution.
If you are required by the US Security Exchange Commission (SEC) or other agency to record your calls and you own an Atrix? You'll have to get another phone.
Does anyone know of a call recorder that works on the Atrix?
Not "might work"
not "only works on speakerphone"
Just works, reliably, on all phone calls (bluetooth, speaker, whatever) with both sides of the conversation?
Seems like every app on the market has highly mixed reviews and notes that it doesn't work on some phones. Atrix is too new to be mentioned yet.
