Anyone find out how to disable the shutter sound on the camera? So annoying.... would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Set to silent ...

Just use the volume rocker.

To clarify, open the camera then use the volume to set it to silent.

No matter what I do, there is always a sound when taking photo

if you have root go to /system/media/audio/ui and change camera_click.ogg to camera_click.ogg.bak. reboot and no more camera click

I believe there's a option in the menu for it.

Holy shizz.. lotsa responses. Thanks a lot, still getting used to app integration for ICS... it's killer.

I know you're being humorous, but Ive heard this too many times. Why does everyone think that people who want to disable the shutter sound are automatically creeps? What if you're at some performance and want to take a picture quietly? ... I thought I had more reasons, thats the only one that comes to mind right now

I recall having to lower the media volume, not the ringer volume, to kill the shutter sound.

HA. Thanks for the defense but in reality I have never found a reason to need a shutter sound on any phone I've owned, especially when the shutter sound is longer than the shutter lag

Yes this is what you need to do to make it permanent with your sound up.
You need to remount the system partition as read/write in order to do this.
Also be aware you might be violating law in some areas by doing this. The click noise is forced on a lot of phones due to local laws to prevent creepers.

download root explorer from the market. when your under the folder to paste it in just press the button up top that says mount R/W

Missing features?

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed this phone doesn't have some basic feature like most “dumb phone" have. I can't seem to find a timer and I can figure out how to turn off shutter noise even if I put the phone in vibrate or silent mode. I know you can download a timer from market but would of been nice to include in the phone.

Simply use the volume rocker when the camera is open to silence the shutter.

The whole point of Android is to customise how you want it. That's why it more or less comes with all of Google's apps and no other apps (by it I mean Google's phones).

Yea. Android has never had a timer by default.

/system/media/audio/ui/
camera_click.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
delete/rename those two and it'll remove focus & shutter sound. CM7 had the feature to disable shutter sound, should expect it in CM9.

On Screen Shutter

Am I the only one who is sad that the Stock Camera doesn't have an on screen shutter? I wish it did. It has so many more customizable options than a third party app like Camera Zoom FX or UCam. Sometimes it is awkward trying to hit that tiny little shutter button. Especially chasing a 2 year old. Any thoughts?

Doesn't it have like power or volume shutter

No. That would be awesome too. Apparently I dont have the correct Kernel that supports the MIUI Camera with the power button shutter. That would be very streamlined.

Certain roms have the power/volume shutter button option but I'm pretty sure that the camera ICS app has that option too.. And there is a free version in the play store

Are you on stock tw? I thought it had that option. Haven't used tw since last month but aokp has the power button option.

I'm on the Darkside Evolution v8. The camera that comes with it doesn't hVe it. I'll check out the ICS camera in the play store. See what it has. .
:Update: The ICS Camera in the Play store has the ability to use volume button as the shutter. It works well. I wish it had more custom options but it fits the bill. Thanks !

How to get rid of shutter sound?

How do i get get rid of the shutter click?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Have not found a way - only thing you can do under sound settings change it to vibrate or silent... if in silent obviously you won't hear the phone ring, notifications, etc.

You can try this:

Don't know if it works...

Isn't there a setting in the camera settings? Shutter sound is the setting you can turn off in the camera.

Depends on country and laws, for example in korea camera will shutter even if you set silent mode and put headphones in.
So the only way is delete the shutter sound, which is kinda illegal

Open build.prop in any text editor. There scroll down to "ro.camera.sound.forced=1"
Change that value from 1 to 0 like this "ro.camera.sound.forced=0"
Now open camera and go to sound option, "Off" option will be there. :good:

Just to add, on a Telus' E973, you won't get the "off" option, but if you put the phone to "silent" mode, you won't have any shutter sound after changing the build.prop.

.This worked for me. it comes with other cool features including adding a sound on/off for camera. im on ARHD V18

yes, the custom CSC will solve the problem

For me, my camera app has an option to turn off shutter sound. just tested and it works fine.
I would think all stock Samsung camera apps have same options, no? I'm running X-Note 3.2 and pretty sure the camera is pure stock (Samsung).

It's illegal to disable the shutter sound in some countries due to concerns about upskirt shots. That's why you may have to mod the csc depending on what regional firmware your phone is running on.
