I hear these AT&T commercials talking about this feature, my verizon TP2 does not do that. The speaker phone button on the back does not do anything either. Is it a setting?
In my stock HTC TP2, in Phone settings (Windows Mobile's, not TouchFlo's), last tab (should be "Advanced"). There's an option that said "when the phone is facing down during a call, use loudspeaker". Check if your phone has this setting?
I don't get all these modifications by providers... in Hongkong phones are sold as is, even when bundled to a certain provider's plan. Many of those modifications aren't really improvements either...
My AT&T Tilt 2 stock rom does this by default!
Cool little feature!!!
not to hijack the thread or anything, but im having the same problem except with the t-mobile version. when its flipped, the mute button lights up but the speaker doesnt activate. the windows option is checked. i messed with some registry settings to enable two way recording (didnt work btw). but that cant be the problem as my brother is having the same problem with his unmodified tmo tp2. his option is checked too.
any ideas?
bump bump, anyone know whats wrong?
Do you have ANY sound? I was using Resco Audio Recorder and I couldn't use the speakerphone when it was working either.. I uninstalled it and no problems since.
i turned this off. it came on once when i was on the couch and it was loud near my ear and freaked me the f out.
I posted about this about a week ago, my solution was to get a new one.
My new one has about 75 dead pixels, so it's going back too.
I'm not satisfied with the build quality at this point...
the speaker does work... when you click the speaker button once in a call. it's just that it doesn't automatically do that when turned over in the call. only the mute button lights up green.
EDIT-
nevermind, it works now. i read this on your thread.

I'd say that unless you've been setting it down on an uneven surface -- or not actually setting down at all as the other guy suggests-- there must be something wrong with your phone.
There's no setting/configuration that would cause the inconsistent erratic behavior you describe -- going on then off, vibrating, etc -- if it's setting on a flat table-top or similar.

apparently i wasn't lying it evenly face down. i was trying it on the couch so that doesn't help. i layed it evenly this time and it vibrated and the speaker went on. then i did a couple of other tests at angles and sure enough you have to have it evenly face down. at one angle, i had it vibrating like a maniac because it thought it was even and then uneven.
problem solved!
You have to make sure it is even on the surface. Also doing a g-sensor calibration may help as well.

cheers mate! Workd :d:d
As of right now, is there no way to disable the camera sound?
Does Temp Rooting -> Replacing shutter sounds with a 0kb file work on the g2, or does that revert after a reboot?
What about the old blackberry trick?
Lower volume, call voicemail, take a quick pic. I havnt tryed it, but that was the ez'est thing to do on my curve.
I'm wondering if xda is like other forums, getting a bunch of heat, people thinking you are taking up skirt pics or something. So retarded hahah
lol.
if you mute the phone, the sound goes away... but thats just retarded to do it for each time you want to take a picture
and no, its just an obnoxious sound, how am i supposed to take pictures without annoying everyone around me..
You use the camera so much that turning your phone to silent beore snapping a pic is a pain for you?

yes.
its sorta like.. why bother getting a remote fob for your car when you can just walk up and use your key to open the door....
its convenient, and something nice to have... and additionally, when its been hacked into the camera app a 1000x on windows mobile phones, android phones, and blackberries, don't you think people consider it a nice thing to have?
or are you so stuck up about it that you get up to change the channels by hand on your tv, because a remote is only going to save you 5 seconds anyways
god i hate people who just make assumptions like that
I must agree ... I too am looking for a fix for this.. not only can you not turn off the sound..that annoys me its also the fact that the g2 takes beautiful pictures withva super cheap sounding ear screaching click! Its not even a click more like a cliche type of sound it sucks definetly trying to find a way to shut it off without muting the entire phone everytime

no one ever anwsered my question if temp root will solve this problem permantly
I use tasker for this. Mutes phone sound when camera is launched. Works fine

Nearly every camera app in the market was crap or you had to pay. Id like to see devs come out with something for rooted devices.

Try this, it works for me from adb, but visionary.sh would be fine too:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
launch camera app, and .. wah-la!
edit: it obv reverts, but visionary.sh solves that
Why not just put the phone on vibrate when taking a pic? Works for me.

Because that can get annoying.
Just put it in visionary.sh and never worry about it again, if you want the sound gone every time.
settings profiles the newest version can disable system sounds only ie:camera
^ can you elaborate on this? wat do u mean profiles?
Download the app "setting profiles" from the app store. The free one allows for one rule. Use thst rule to set just the system sounds to be whatever level or quiet dependant on certain conditions. The conditions can be set to something that is always true.
So after the screen goes off, the wifi automatically goes to sleep hence making those apps which can send toast/tile notifications like Flory and various twitter apps practically useless. Any work around?
Keep it plugged in.
Um...you just realized that? It puts wifi on standby (basically turns it off) when it goes to sleep, unless you are charging, in which case, the wifi remains connected. Data, on the other hand, does not have this problem, and will persist, despite the phone going to sleep/lockscreen.
I would also like a workaround for this... I don't own a data plan, and I'm pretty much always near some wifi connection...
thanks!
There is no work around. It is a 'feature' by design so that you won't ended up with a battery drained phone. Your only hope is complain loudly to Microsoft.

As usual with WP7, MS is taking "don't give a choice to the user" approach... I hope this and other small things get fixed sooner or later... like the stupid camera shutter sound!

Well if you're connected to WiFi but its in sleep mode, data doesnt just turn on. It will for some things, but I found out that for some games that have push notifications, they just dont happen in that situation. The 3g stays sleeping with the WiFi. I only get emails in this situation.

I thought the shutter sound was become of some law saying you have to have it on. Weird thing though, that law ain't in the US...I read that sht on cracked where they were talking about countries saying you have to leave the shutter sound on and that's to prevent people from getting away with sticking their phone under a girls skirt and taking a picture. Normally I'd be like "man, cracked is just making stuff up again" but I've been following that site for 3 years and read everything and can tell the joke articles from the legit ones.
And they probably dont have that many options because they dont want to see a lot of people complaining about battery life. Because if you google anything android related, you'll get a bunch of battery life threads and complaint. so they are just defaulting settings that offer the best battery life and they are getting rid of the option to change those settings. that way nobody can post a bunch of threads complaining about battery life and by that not happening, when you search anything windows mobile related you'll see more threads about its features than bad battery life.
And yes, if WiFi never slept, it would be using more power than the disconnected 3G option it defaults to.
having wifi turn off automatically completely defeats the purpose of background notifications for apps like twitter/facebook or any other IM since there wont be any wifi connection for them to use if the phone is in sleep mode. Not everyone has unlimited cellular data. This is just really stupid.

If those background notification use that much of data, they are not designed properly. For comparison, my son's Focus is on 200mb/month data plan and he never exceeds the data limit.

maybe they should have an option to change it - but it should default to the current settings as only a handfull of people won't have a data plan.

Wow, that's just weird. How come so many compact digital cameras can have the shutter sound removed then? It doesn't really make sense... anyway, I saw in the Reg Tricks topic a way to turn it off, will probably do after I get the NoDo (in a year maybe? hehehe)
Back to topic: sure the default should be the same as it is now, but give me the option to change it, and when I select it, give me a big warning telling me that this will destroy my battery life. Then I know what to expect (ok, I would already know, but many people wouldn't...)

Found the article. Had to go back and look for it because after my last post I thought I made it up but I was right haha. And it seems to say just cellphones. I imagine it would be really hard trying to stick a camera under someone's skirt...so they just leave the option to remove that sound there...iunno

what's weird is that my HD7 doesn't make the shutter sound when i turn the volume all the way down to 0
also, topic related, my ipod touch stays connected to wifi 24/7 sleep or no sleep... i think that feature came with iOS 4 though??
Your iPod Thouch doesn't have any other means to go online. Your phone does.

Yep, cause changing the default search in IE from Google to Bing, where it should be, will certainly degrade my battery life.
The options are there because Microsoft have no clue what they're doing.
I'm willing to bet most of the people who worked on Windows Mobile are gone and these people working on WP7 are utterly clueless.
They're certainly disconnected form their customer base... completely...

Hello all,
Does anybody know if this problem has a solution with the NoDo update (presumably, NoDo comes with "wifi improvements")? I tried WP7 for a while and this was the failure that made me switch back to Android (I work in lots of basements; no GSM signal, but Wifi aplenty).
Thanks!

Well, I was unable to find any information one way or the other; this seems a lesser priority for many users. If anybody in the thread has updated, please let us know!
I was trying to find out if anyone knew how to turn off the camera shutter sound? Was this option removed from ICS? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think it's a mission impossible!
I believe in most places in the world it is actually illegal to have no camera shutter on a phone. It can be considered as an invasion of privacy and all of that stuff. So just a warning you might not find anything you're looking for :-\. Although I'm sure it's possible
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
You can turn off the shutter (as root) by deleting/renaming /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg (or another obviously named file) but you'll still have the focus beep (which seems to be embedded in the app itself). I keep my phone volume all the way down most of the time which silences it, I use Volume Control+ to quickly change volume profiles.
I find it awkward that a person could turn on video recording and leave it on, collecting a non-stop series of thousands of images silently, yet there are laws that restrict the collection of a single image without a shutter sound.
Are there laws for how many db the shutter sound must generate or penalties for tampering with it?
Argh I hate stupid laws that accomplish nothing.

Yes, I believe the annoying shutter sound is there for privacy, HOWEVER, try taking a picture of a sleeping baby and then have the SNAP! sound wake them up... Or try taking candid pictures of your pets and have them run off after the SNAP! sound. Not a very nice experience.
But the reality is, if someone wants to commit a crime, they will circumvent the technology used to protect people. So in the end, this only affects the average user, not the pedophile.
My GSM GNex has no shutter sound when I turn the volume all the way down...

I'm on stock GSM (Korean) and turning the volume to zero removed the focus sound but not the shutter. That's still as loud as ever. Kind of funny how people assume that others aren't trying that first.
Lol the volume down no shutter is like an age old nexus trick...it may not work on some third party apps so if that's what you're using try the stock camera.

I asked a friend here to check on his Galaxy S2 HD and it works; lowering the volume all the way removes the shutter sound as well. Hrm.
I recently bought an N7105 and much to my horror I can't mute the annoying and very loud camera shutter. On my previous N7100 I could just mute the volume and that would mute the shutter, but on the N7105 (at least this one) I can't do that. No matter what I try the shutter sound will not mute. I even downloaded third party camera apps (zoom FX) and it still wouldn't mute even when the shutter sound was disabled. I do not want to root, what can I do? Please help!
Since there seems to be no solution I have no choice but to sell my brand new phone I will not root because I absolutely hate it, and would rather not have a phone at all! Can someone tell me which regions don't have the shutter sound? And what is the best way to make sure when buying off the net that the firmware will have shutter mute?
It might be easier to use a free camera app that allows shutter muting.

Sadly the firmware still overrides those 3rd party apps. :crying:
Didn't know that.
Does the sound remain audible when the phone volumes all the way down?
If it does silence with the volume then something like Tasker (or freeware Llama) allows one to execute one or more actions automagically: IF Camera app is running/foreground THEN mute volume, then restore volume afterward. That might be a workaround.

I'll give that a try, but if all its doing is just automating the silencing of the phone then I doubt it will work. Since even when all the volumes are on silent it still goes off. Worth a shot though.

This is driving me crazy. The shutter sound is so extremely loud I am afraid it is ruining the speakers (and my ears). I can't believe how anyone designed this. When I take burst shots its sounds like a machine gun, and people 50meters away turn their heads to see what's happening. I need help badly! PLEASE!
I have horrible experiences with rooting and custom roms and don't want to do that. However as a compromise, would it be possible to do a temp root, erase the offending audio file, and then unroot? Is that even possible? Will the phone remain stock and update itself over the air?
I still prefer a non-root solution. Help me
Just apply that CSC code which gives you an option to mute/un-mute the shutter sound.
PS: Oh sorry, didn't notice that you won't root! Not possible then imo.
OK how about if I flash a different stock firmware with odin? Can I do that without rooting? Will my phone still be fully stock and updatable OTA? How do I know which firmwares don't have this nasty shutter sound (when phoneis muted)?

Not really. I am sure I can change to another stock firmware that doesn't have the shutter sound even on mute. I just need someone to guide me how to do that without rooting, and which firmware to choose.

Im in the US and I have a completely stock ATT Note II - and I can disable the shutter sound without root.
In your camera, tap the gear icon, and look for "Shutter Sound". Tap it and set it to off.
