Accidental recording

I find myself accidentally recording all of the time. I wish the recording button was a switch instead of a button. The fact that it’s attached to my phone (I’m grabbing at all of the time) makes it easy to hit the record button.

I’ve recorded 4hrs of running errands. Now my issue is that I do not want these recordings to sync, I want them trashed. There doesn’t seem to be a way to select which recording to sync. So I’ve got 9 garbage recording attempting to sync. Anyone have a similar experience? Did I miss an app feature?

Same here, hours of unwanted recordings. Looking for how to delete w/o sync.

And, yes, there is something mysterious. Recording began at 1am when I definitely DID NOT touch the button.

The 1am ran for 5 hours. Then another at 6am, for 5 hours. And then at 11am for 5 hours. I see the pattern; once it starts, recordings break at 5 hour intervals.

Hey! When syncing there is an option to select which recordings to sync and which recordings not to sync. As well as there is a setting which lets you look at device files in your settings page where you can go and delete files from as well.

Hey mhirrrr, thanks for the quick reply. Any comment on the apparent auto-start of recording at 1am?

Hey Richard,

We’ll get it checked on our end and you can mail us at hey@heypocket.com. Unless recordings are explicitly started from your end, we do not have the power to start the recording.

jumping on this since i keep having the same issue. there should be an option to make it so a long press or a double click or something would start the recording and not just a single click, which seems to be happening by accident in my pocket or while using the phone
