    I been using voice recorder for awhile with no problem, but today I press the record button and got a popup message saying “Unable to start a new recording. Other applications already recording”. Ive tried disabling , restarting, force stoping app but nothing works. I wonder if its got something to do with 4.4 update.

    Yeah, I contacted Samsung but they tried but nothing worked. Didnt want to do a factory reset but had to, and it fixed the problem. Thanks

    My saved voice recordings have disappeared. I can not find them on the phone. Anyone else have this problem or know how to recover them?

    Yes, apparently my phone was low on memory and deleted them to make space. Does anyone know if I can use a recovery program to get them back?

    I need to transfer my voice recordings from my S4 to my pc and then put it on a cd for backup. Unfortunately the cd is not in a readable format. Which format is it written on my samsung and which media player app do I need to get this done. Pls help

    “I recorded a very important voice message and it went to 26.5 MB, but phone’s Gmail will not allow anything to be sent over 20MB….I am bedridden and disabled and have no computer available at all…this message is extremely important and it will not allow me to trim the message because all it does is create another copy of the same file…what do I do? Thank you.”

    I’m trying to cut/delete a segment of a voice file but the cut just gives a new file option. Where can I find a help on how to do this?

    I’m trying to use the voice recorder app with kind of the teal green screen. I see cut on there but it is the free version so maybe that is my problem or I need to use another app? Thanks!
