[Q] G2 Camera Shutter Sound

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 has a fix for this yet?
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

Look for camera shutter in market, they have alternative cam apps that silent the shutter sound

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.

[Q] Vibrate....gotta be a way to increase the "oomph"!!!! Right?!?

I love this phone...but for my purposes, having it on vibrate = having it on silent. I missed TWO job interview calls having my phone on vibrate in my pants! I barely had time to call 'em back today to set up an in-person!!!!
I found a program a few weeks ago to handle my volume problems....is there a program that handles the vibration problems??? I guess I'm one step away from changing the vibration to just one long vibrate for texts and calls....but this soft motor probably still won't help it out!
Anything? Or am I doomed to putting this on craigslist and waiting for the next big phone???

I think it agitates everyone pretty well actually.
To be on topic, though, I don't know of any apps, or software mods at all really, that will increase the power on the vibration. That's a hardware thing.

Really? Seems great to me. Way better than my previous HTC phones.

Apparently Light Flow has settings where you can set particular vibrations for particular notifications (i.e. how long & how frequent you want them). Haven't tested it myself, but I've read about it. Link. Perhaps if Light Flow doesn't work, try Sound Manager V2?

I tried light flow but I could never seem to get it to play nice w/Handcent.. It'd always stutter my ringtone. Even when I turned notifying for Handcent off...
On a table, it works fine. On a bed or couch or pocket...it's garbage. And I really didn't notice it until last week when I needed it on vibrate. Now, I wish I'd noticed it during the 30 day period of returning the phone....
Shoot!

Can I prevent my phone from automatically lowering media volumem

So I'm running the latest version of Lifeless ROM and thus far, things are great. However, I'm still bugged about my phone automatically lowering the volume of my music/games every time my headphones/aux cable gets unplugged. A minor issue, yes, but an annoying one nonetheless. Is there a way to get rid of this? Thanks.

I don't think there is. There's two independent volume levels for headsets and speakers. What you're talking about is in place to prevent your movie or game from being blasted in a public place.
Essentially an embarrassment saver.
So I think you're one in a few for thinking this should be removed...

No I would love to remove it. Every time I plug my phone into my car, I have to turn the volume back up. Its to protect your ears and hearing when you put head phones in.
Most CM and customs ROMS remove the feature, or have the option to turn it off. Hopefully we'll get a ROM with the option soon.

Exactly. I was afraid I'd have to wait for CM or another AOSP ROM to do so, but as I said earlier, it's not *that* big of a deal; just a pain in the neck.

I'd have to agree, it's a total pain in the butt for me. If anyone does happen to come up with a way to disable it, beers are on me, lol.

[Q] Help I can't mute the shutter sound on n7105

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.
from tapatalk (Galaxy Note 2)

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.

0 the ringtone volume

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.

Hey Jujuburi, Do you know which CSC has this option in it?

Quiet Mode - How to allow phone calls??

Hi, I just recently transitioned from the Note 3 to the LG G3 & find the phone to be an incredible upgrade!!
I got used to the "Blocking Mode" feature on the Samsung phone & find the similar feature "Quiet Mode" on the LG phone to be very lacking. On the Samsung phone I could activate the blocking mode & still receive phone calls from predefined numbers. The LG phone seems to offer a similar arrangement whereby phone calls from specific numbers could be allowed but the quiet mode feature works by putting the phone either in "Silent or Vibrate Only" modes & thus with the "Quiet Mode" activated even though it allows the call to go through but I can't respond to it as the phone is Silent or on Vibrate while I sleep.
This seems like a big oversight whereby the whole purpose of allowing phone calls is defeated!!
Can anyone please advise what to do or if I am doing something wrong??
Thanks

I think the allowed contacts will be able to reach you in Quiet Mode. So the phone rings when someone calls you that is in your 'allowed' list. I haven't tried it though. An good alternative to LG's Quiet Mode is the app Silence. You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cabooze.buzzoff2

Thanks a lot for your reply, that's the strange thing that even on the allowed contacts the phone remains silent.

I've tried it and yes, the phone doens't ring at all. Well Silence Premium is much better.

Thanks, does silence premium control the LED light as well?

Wow what a total f**king worthless broken feature. I had it setup for calls from family to come through and my wife and kids were in a wreck and my phone never rang. Wtf.
Multiple numbers listed in the allowed callers list and nothing. Verifiable, repeatable. I only used it while sleeping. When I calm down I will decide whether to return this $650 piece of $#*+

Extreme call blocker also is very usefull, you can create a black or white list, even block sms if you want! Really a great program!

I made as Tasker profile that silences the phone between selected hours when it's charging. Then I made another profile that allows calls from favorite contacts to go through anyway, with increasing ringing. I think I could make an app from this, if someone is interested.

I highly recommend the app Do Not Disturb. It has a few more features than Samsung's blocking mode and it's free. There is even a premium version for a buck and a half that gives you more functionality. Plan on buying it to support the developers but free version provides all I need for now. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Here is an answer to your problem. Long press quiet mode and you get his menu which should hold the holy grail or for the lame people a 'solution'

No, you still can't choose Sound under Sound profile. Only Silent an Vibrate are available. And that means no sound when someone important calls, which means this Quiet mode is useless when you are sleeping. Might as well turn off the phone completely.

I don't think you understand the problem..Allowed contacts are still silenced so the phone may ring but you will not hear it.

When you put your contacts in the white list in that programm i mentioned (Extreme Call Blocker) your Phone will ring on a volume which you have specified even when your Phone is muted!

Cool but what's that got to do with my post! I quoted member "Pilz" who was talking about stock quiet mode i am well aware of the 1000s of programes like extreme call blocker that do a better job than LGs attempt

AT&T rep duplicated it on the phone with me when I called about something else. They'd been using* it too and didn't think to test it first either.
Does that feature work on any variant?
For any other helpers, yeah we know there are settings. That's the point, they don't work.
Thanks for the working alternatives posted by others.
