Holy crap, how do you turn off the camera sound!?!?

There is a guide online to edit the local.prop file to not force a camera sound, but, ****, we're not rooted so we can't use it. Anyone!?
Update 09/18: Thanks to the amazing zedomax and his root method, you can create a file called "local.prop" on your phone under the /data/ directory and place the code "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" without the quotes in it and reboot and be good to go. In other words:
1. Create a file called local.prop on your device in /data/.
2. Place the line of code ro.camera.sound.forced=0 in the file local.prop and hit Save.
3. Make sure it's in the /data/ folder.
4. Reboot.
5. Enjoy not having that ****ing shotgun blast in your ear every time you want to snap a photo.
Want to revert to stock? Change the code in the file to ro.camera.sound.forced=1.

wait for root...I imagine it won't take too long.
btw, has anyone tried the SGS2 rooting methods yet?

But... It's too damn annoying. And the stock messaging app is so childish

Some have indicated that on the latest camera update for the SGSII, putting the phone on silent or vibrate disables camera sounds. Does this work on the E4GT out of the box?

Its loud as ****!! Sounds like a pistol going off lol

wow, lol, I can't wait to try it. charging while off as we speak. this is torture.

I think this is done to comply with Korean and Japanese law that digital camera must have audible sounds to prevent voyeurs from secretly taking pictures. They have tossed this idea around in the States.

Yeah, it is built into the Camera.apk. You have to delete the sound file which can only be done by rooting it.

this is annoying... why do phone makers force this on us?
Seriously... if I wanted to take inappropriate photos, I would make sure to go out of my way to get a camera that had no shutter noise.
This accomplishes nothing but is extremely annoying.

What I was getting at was that instead of having multiple camera apps per country, they just have one universal apk that follows Korean law.

You will get audio only if you don't have strong enough bandwidth. Did you try it on Wifi yet?

Same issue here and yes I've tried with wifi.

HBO and MAX Go
Same issue here.
On WiFi on 22Mbps, still didn't get anything but audio. The screen was completely black. I thought there was an error with the app and that it got locked. Tried unlocking, but went back to a black screen (locked), then hit the lock button again and went to the locking screen.
Tried HBO Go and MAX Go on both 3G and WiFi yesterday. Black screen with audio. Just tried on 4G and can confirm it didn't work either; same black screen with audio only. Getting 5Mbps right now on 4G.
As a comment to reference, up till saturday morning, when I got the E4gT, the Evo3D was having no problem showing these videos. From time to time I would get the odd "sound only" message, but it would be gone within seconds and the video would come back up.
With people commenting about data issues, others with radio issues, etc. makes me wonder if it's hardware and not software. Maybe a new kernel fixes it, but I haven't tried that yet.
Is there anybody able to get video on HBO Go and MAX Go at the moment? Could you provide as to whether you're using stock kernel or one of the rooted kernels; if rooted, which method, and ultimately, what type of connection are you using and what type of bandwidth do you have?
Hope we can shed some light into the issue.

If you check the comments with the app, all E4GT users are having this issue.

Not sure I can post links so copy/paste.
Down low in the page:
Art Russ - +Brad DeFruiter >> Current Widget doesn't work due to missing drivers/capabilities.
Take it as a grain of salt. Wonder if it could be a library missing, and if so, if one could be grabbed from a different device and pasted into the appropriate sys folder on the E4GT. Would need root, but still...

As of 10/12/2011, version 1.2 has video working for E4GT. If any issues, try removing the app from your phone and reinstalling from the market.
So far I've had no issues, and video finally works!

[ROM][JB][CM10][PORT]Jellybean Port from Desire S (12/06/2012)

I present to you a Jellybean ROM port! i know cnote has already released one, but the more variety the better? perhaps...we shall see
first off, i would like to thank:
-nk111: for letting me use his ROM to port. link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256
-elginsk8r: for the kernel. awesome!
-aaraya1516: for his never ending help in compiling the kernel and files for me. thank you!!
-Cnote: for letting me use his ROM as a base
-Synthetic.nightmare: for his kernel, and for still teaching me things. what a good teacher/dev
-ckisgen: for helping me fix an important bug regarding SD card
-the other devs
-the xda peeps here
onto the ROM
Here are some screenshots! Give thanks to this user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29135158&postcount=125
what works:
-camera!! yes, it works
-CM stuff, like weather on lockscreen, a power menu that can reboot, go into recovery, etc.
-thats all i know for now. the rest is the basic stuff, like wifi, bluetooth, etc.
what doesnt work:
-i am not too sure myself, so if anyone wants to keep looking for stuff, please do and inform us so i can put it under here
-heat issues because of the kernel. With pretty much anything that requires audio and having headphones inserted will cause the phone to heat up
Instructions:
1. wipe all /system, /cache/ dalvik-cache, and /data
2. flash ROM
3. flash gapps
4. flash LowMicFix.zip (so Google Now and other apps can recognize voice better. mic is too soft)
if updating:
1. just flash it without wiping system, data, etc.
2. flash gapps
3. flash LowMicFix.zip
link to ROM: http://d-h.st/users/chickenfactory/?fld_id=4125#files - 12-06-2012 (latest)

tips:
if you want to record video, download videocam illusion. go into the settings, and change the audio frequency from 48kHz to 44.1kHz. there ya go, recording!
dont want a green line on your 5mp pics? check out Camera JB+ on the play store (or if you can find it elsewhere ). it works fine for me
full wiping from time to time may help in the lagginess of the ROM. this one is up to the user
a cache and dalvik cache wipe may be effective. also, fix permissions. that can be helpful as well

test this out guys!
Up to date kernel (thanks THEindian):

i flashed it, nothing went wrong. i am going to see if it worked. it probably will. go for it!

Status update #1: Dev-Host is being a PITA. so, google drive will be the new mirror for now
Status update #2: i uploaded the 7-19 version. camera works, since i replaced some files from the 7-20 version. backlights seem to be working as well, even with auto-brightness
Status update #3: apparently, the backlights keep going on and off at random times with auto brightness. strange...
Status update #4: looks like i never updated this in a while lol. ok, so cm things from cm9 are now starting to come together in cm10 . bluetooth is finally working...well it discovers devices now. 8-14-2012 is the latest build. go get it!
Status update #5: i've been slacking in these lol. anyways, a new build will be up. it will be a 9-14-2012 version (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #6: i will have to delay the update. sorry about that (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #7: finally an update (9-17-2012)! camera works out of the box (or out of flash...however you want to say it), which means you dont need to flash the camfix. isnt that great?? less things to flash! (status made on 9/17/2012)
Status update #8: 3.0 kernel is being worked on. as for now, a new update is being uploaded. also, check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881573 (made on 9/24/2012)
Status update #9: trying to get wifi working on the 3.0 kernel. no luck so far. will continue to try.
edit: it did not work. kernel 3.0 does not have working wifi yet. but we are so close. wifi is the only thing standing in the way (unless the heat and battery issue when headphones are inserted is still present. i didnt really test it) (status made on 10/5/2012)
Status update #10: i am back! just did an update to this port. hope you all enjoy. last port for this phone, unless i change my mind and do other ports in the future . (status made on 12/12/2012)
Status update #11: thanks to THEindian, a kernel that fixes the overheating problem. woohoo! and it's up to date (made on 12/22/2012)

Well its supposed to connect fast on wifi, it uses the IP address to help pinpoint your location.
What makes a difference is if it locks on the network, cause wifi ain't everywhere ya know.

Google Plus hangouts video chat

The Google Plus app updated yesterday. While the update is phenomenal, one thing I've noticed: I am no longer able to make video chats via cellular data. I have talked to many other users on other carriers and it seems some carriers allow and others don't. I wanted to start this thread to both find out which carriers allow video chat through hangouts over cellular data and find out if there is a work around for us AT&T customers.

I know you said you wanted a work around without being rooted but for anyone else looking for a solution that is rooted try this out:
1.Get SQLight editor from the market
2. Get Root Explorer from the market.
3. use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it
4. then click on “main”
5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only – highlight and hold
6. Press “Edit Record” and change the “value” to false instead of true
7. Reboot
I did it last night and it work perfectly.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 On screen controls, Netflix, BBC iPlayer

There is definitely an issue with the on screen controls and Netflix, BBC iPlayer, TV Anywhere (Virgin) etc
Many people have complained on Netflix's Play Store page by giving 1 star and saying since the Netflix update you are not able to pause, scroll forward or back as the on screen controls appear for a split second and then disappear, but it isn't Netflix's fault as the same issue exists with BBC iPlayer (downloaded content playing back only - not streaming) and Virgin's TV Anywhere.
This only began after the OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Apart from my feelings that the battery is draining quicker, the navigation is not as fluid and the native video player sound is not as good, this update has proved to be a failure in my view.
I read that the bootloader was locked so custom rom is out of the question at the moment (I think, not that clued up on such issues) - but I wouldn't want to root anyway as it renders Sky Go and other apps useless.
Can someone shed some light as to what is wrong and how to fix?

No problem with BBC I Player. Don't use the other two. I'm rooted and been able to get rid of some of the Samsung junk. Can't run apk's as reported in another thread. Have you a link to the bootloader issue?

Sorry for delay in replying. Yes I can pause. I'm also note on CM11 4.4.4. And extremely happy
