Is there any way to turn off the shutter sound for the camera? It even sounds when the system sound is switched off?
i noticed if the "media" volume is set to 0 then the camera shutter sound is also off
so if youre in the camera app, just use the volume rocker and set it to nothing - i had this by accident and noticed there was no shutter sound
once i put it back up a bit i could hear the camera shutter
there should also be another way if you rooted your phone to delete the camera.ogg file somewhere - but pretty sure you wont have it at all anymore if you take that approach
I use tasker to set media volume to 0 when in the camera app

If you have root,
1. Go to /system/media/audio/ui (I think that's the directory, I don't have my GN on me)
2. Rename camera-click.ogg to whatever you wish. Change the extension, whatever.
3. ???
4. Profit!
Thanks guys. Ive gone down the rename route.
Wow, all I have to do is hold volume down until it mutes.
No "bleep" sound.
Root? Why??
Because we like to use our phones to the max potential?
Why bother with volume changing when it can be permanently fixed, quite easily?

What's the obsession with the camera sound, anyway? Sneaking photos of chick's asses?
Besides, if someone heard the sound anyway, they would never associate it with a camera shutter.
People are weird. If it's that single moment that requires silence, just hold the volume down button for 2 seconds. Take photo, spend another 2 seconds.
Or I guess if you are constantly taking creeper photos, then root and enjoy?
In some countries, it's illegal to mute camera' shutter sound.

Your pervert mind will think of perverted uses.
I personally find the camera beep one of the more annoying sounds possible.
And I don't like wasting my time.

I know that this has been posted in the Samsung Focus forum here BUT since I have an LG this seems to be a WP7 general problem.
Does anyone have tricks or tips to turn this sound off? Even when turning the system sound down to 0 and set the profile to vibrate, the shutter sound is still LOUD and clear.
I guess we'll just have to wait until we have root folder access to reach that wav file to mute it.
Very annoying.
It is probably for stupid legal reasons. So you can annoy everybody when you want to take pictures during a professional meeting.

There's a trick I think. Launch a song on Zune, Pause. Take a picture.
Hope MS can solve this.
yea I heard it was for legal reasons, same on the blackberry. The weird thing is my ex's iphone didn't have the shutter sound and she snapped unsuspecting pictures all the time

Interesting trick but it didn't work for me.
Legal reasons eh? You would think that MS would have used the mui's loaded in the WP7 rom to determine where it's illegal and where it's not. If my WP7 rom is 0409, give me the option to have the sound or not.
On the HD7 (and maybe other HTC devices?) the shutter sound respects the volume control.

Seems like my HTC Mozart respects the master volume as well. Turn that down to zero and there's no shutter sound.

Hmmm...so it seems like LG & Samsung are the culprits. If that's the case then the ONLY way we'll have this fixed is to manually edit the wav file that makes the sound. I highly doubt LG and Sammy care enough to work on this even if we raise a stink.
Then do it.
XDA, tear down that shutter sound!
Found working solution... for me anyways
Hey everybody, I've been trying to get around the issue for a while myself and found this: karnicki.eu/?p=10 for the omnia7. It did the trick for me and whenever I set the phone to silent the shutter stays in STFU mode! I fiddled with the sound settings before but it might be something magical about the 1000/-1000 combo. Please test and confirm.
If someone has an unlocked device with TouchXplorer installed and willing to experiment, there are two files:
\Windows\camerashutter_mirage.wav
\Windows\shutter.wav
that you might want to replace with .wav files containing just silence.
I'm not sure if it's possible to do, but may be worth a try.
turn your phone volume down then take a picture, usually works for me.

Yes,confirmed...its works on my Mozart....just turn to volume to low or 0 in both vibrate or ring mode,the shutter sound will be eliminated.
Even with the media volume to the max, my ear has to literally be on the speaker to hear the slightlest sound from the keyboard. This must be a bug, right?
Key press sounds are tied to phone ringer/notification volume, nit media volume.

Never mind, downloaded audioguru, turned up system sounds now it's more audible. The system volume can't be set more to the minimum by default.
So you have to download a 3rd party app to make a $700 phone work correctly ?

No, but if you want to have your key tones louder it helps. Brand new phone, brand new OS...bound to be some bugs.
But yeah, the phone is useless without loud key tones.
thanks for this.. thought I was losing my marbles

I've had concerns about the volume on this device since i got it last week.
All tones and ringers are ridiculously low.
I tried the suggested audioguru app and have noticed a slight increase in ringer volume but thats about all.
Im surprised the forums are not flooded with posts about the low volume on the nexus.
Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.
I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.
Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.
EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.
Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.
Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?

Have you tried connecting headphones to see if you hear anything? Maybe something got the sensor in the jack stuck?

Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now!
Strange! Well at least you got it working!

Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.

Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.
The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.

True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.
thanks
Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.
3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.
:good:
Same problem here on my xperia play ! o.o
Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
Just the sound disappered.. =S
Solved with volume control + !
How can I make my gnexus go completely silent when I put it on vibrate/silent mode? I don't what apps to make any sound when I turn down the volume all the way using the volume buttons. Right now I have to go to settings>sounds and change it there.
Oh and is there a way to force it to always vibrate even on silent mode?

1. You can turn down just the media volume. That volume can be adjusted with the volume buttons too, you need to let media make a sound and then press the volume button.
You can also search for volume widgets on the market, I bet there are some that will suit your needs.
2. You can set vibrate in sound setting to "always".

1. That's the problem though. I'm sitting in class and open an app and suddently it starts playing a music. Even the sound of taking a screen shot is unaffected when phone is on silent.
2. I can not find this option in Settings>Sound. I have "Vibrate and Ring" which is set to enabled but it does not affect silent mode.
I use an app called RealSilent off the market. Its free and does what you need.
Use Audio Manager, or something similar. There's plenty of apps out there...
I use quick setting app.....has all volume settings on one page to change values of basically everything

You could also use a profiles app and create a profile that silences everything. (And also a profile that brings everything back up to volumes you like when it's not silenced.)
Thanks everyone I'll try the market
I believe the actual problem is that ICS has combined notification volume and ringer volume in to 1 volume. I haven't seen any of those apps mentioned above, but how can they possibly get around this newly imposed restriction in ICS??
I use Llama for setting profiles on my ICS Nexus S and it warns you about this exact thing.
I've used Mute before on the SGS. Worked well there. I haven't used it yet for the Galaxy Nexus so I can't say if it's been updated for ICS.

Lol this isn't just ics
It was in gingerbread too
The notification and ringer volume are the same (and I actually prefer that)
And OP all you need to do is make the ringer silent, then go into a media app, something like music, power amp, even camera, and then turn down the media volume from there, its pretty simple

But not very practical to do this over and over. Its easier to have a toggle.
Phone on silent in class, open Tiny Tower, and BOOM you have tons of sounds lol. So I really need to find one that works. I used "silent toggle widget" on my G2, but it doesn't mute everything on the GNex.

Looks like "mute" works... when you hit the widget to mute everything, and go into "sound" settings, the ringer is silenced and the games/media sound is set to 0. I'll test more after class. Not gonna risk it right now
Also, the widget is kinda ugly but I think I can look past that if it does what I need.

Wrong. I'll let the picture do the talking instead of a petulant "lol".
I added an experimental feature to my free Earpiece app which lets you almost mute the camera click and autofocus on stock 2.3 for the E4GT. Doesn't need root. I only tested on EL29. I am curious if it works on other OS versions and devices, but the E4GT is the only Android phone I have.
To use this feature, run Earpiece, press MENU, and then select the quiet camera option. In my experience, the autofocus can be heard quietly but the camera click is only audible if your ear is right up to the device.
I am curious if this works on anything other than E4GT with stock 2.3. If it doesn't work for you but you want it to, get Android Log Collector, take a photo with the stock camera app, go to log collector, and email me the log (arpruss at gmail dot com).
Earpiece does a few other audio-related things, like automatically switching between speaker and earpiece in phone calls based on proximity, boosting audio, and allowing you to listen to media through the earpiece speaker (e.g., so you can listen to radio without earphones in public, looking like you're just talking on the phone).
Thank you for this app. I ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. I wish it could mute the camera completely but thank you...

No surprise there. Send me the click log as per my post above and I'll see if I can make it work.
But anyway doesn't CM have its own option for turning off the camera sound?
