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.
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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.
It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.

Curious what some of you are doing as far as managing volume since Pie. And if my complaint below annoys anyone else.
My complaint about Pie is the fact that the notification volume is married to the ring volume. Typically I want my phone to ring at about 75% and notifications to sound off about 30%.
I've tried sound profile and macro droid. What I've discovered is that even though in both of those applications you can adjust notification volume separate from ring volume like with Samsung, but what ever was last to change is what both are set to. It's very frustrating having my phone blast notifications at 75% or my phone ring at 30% and not hear it. I've created a few macros that almost solve the issue, but the macros are not 100% all the time.
I've searched high and low and can hardly find anyone else complain about this. That makes me wonder, am I missing something really simple?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Nope, it's been tied together for years, not just with the Pie update. On Oreo and previous versions i was able to use xposed and Gravitybox to separate the notification and ringtone volume levels, or on some custom roms they have that option built in. I updated to Pie, and gave up xposed/gravitybox.. but I would still like the ability to set notification and ring volumes separate. One day maybe..
Scratching my head as to why I never noticed until Pie, I've had my Pixel 2xl since May.
Any other solutions people use that don't require root?

installed precise volume.. haven't noticed a difference yet, and when i go back in and check the settings it seems the system changes the values..
Yeah I remember now, I was using sound profile to manage my sounds. After the pie update I couldn't get it to work well with my DND rules, kept missing important calls, so I ditched it and went all native.
The hack job in doing now is using macrodroid (user friendly tasker like app) monitor for incoming calls and set ringer to 75% unless silent or vibrate, then wait 20 seconds and set volume back to 30%. That makes sure my notifications don't scream at me all the time.
I also set up the DND schedule in macrodroid mainly because using the native DND, it would use the last set volume and not wake me up for important calls. This way when my schedule activates DND, it will also set the ring volume all the way up so the important calls and texts will wake me up while muting everyone else.
Too much work to make all this happen, I miss my Samsung.

So no solution yet on this, I remember back in the first galaxy days, when I rooted and installed ROM... that was one of the options almost every custom ROM had... hard to belief it never made it all the way into an official google release...
You can always use Automagic (preferred) or Tasker to set up shortcuts. It can adjust each individually. The newest Automagic beta (gotta purchase it) can even intercept your volume buttons. Get creative with it and can probably find a better solution than you previously had.
You can try Volume Butler app from playstore. It works for me.

I just bought a OnePlus 6T after being on a Samsung Note5 since it came out and forgot about this "feature" of stock Android. I don't know why it's too much to ask for these to be separate. Now if I want to silence notifications at night but allow the phone to ring I have to use the Do Not Disturb settings. Should be so much easier than this.
I remember one version of Android had the two sliders for notifications and ringtone separate, and you could select a checkbox to sync them only if you wanted.
What the heck!
I've been on CyanogenMod/LineageOS for the past years and now that I'm on OxygenOS with the OnePlus 6T I'm noticing this nonsense!
What's the problem on having the option to link the ringer and notification volume togheter or NOT???
And at the same time, what't the problem on having the option to choose to use the volume buttons for media or for ringer?
It's a software, leave us the options!
Same here. Lineageos user now oneplus 6. No separate notifications volume. Very very annoying. ****, maybe put an expert mode to android if you think people are confused by so many options. ?

My complaint about Pie is the fact that the notification volume is married to the ring volume. Typically I want my phone to ring at about 75% and notifications to sound off about 30%.

Yes! I find it really, really annoying. I like to have notifications only just audible but ring tone quite loud and the fact that this is now impossible, is incredibly irritating and frustrating. What on earth were the Android Pie developers thinking of....
I haven't found any fix for it at all but I'm not as au fait with development as you are. I'll keep looking though. Perhaps there'll be a fix from Android Pie developers soon.
I gave my pixel 2xl to my son and picked up a note 9. Forgot how much I missed Samsung. No longer have to deal with that asinine decision to marry ring tone and notification sounds. Love my note9. But miss the camera from the pixel

The easiest way to reduce notification volume is to use Audacity or similar and supress the loudness of the audio file. No need to root the device just for that.
It seems like a huge conspiracy. Why oh why google cannot affort to make it a setting to choose different volumes. It must be that apple is paying them to make android suck.
I miss all most my calls now on my new phone. I just do not hear them with my notifications off. I just cannot have notification volume on at work. I get hundreds of those each day.
But I maybe get a phone call once a week during office our? Also when going to sleep or watching tv or what ever it is super super irritating to get those super loud notifications.
They say is like this since kitkat. Well I come from kitkat and my kitkat did not work that way. Maybe I fixed it years ago but I cannot remember.
Now there seems to be a solution called "Volume Butler" but hey! This is no longer on google play? You would think that google discovered that some people dared having difference volume for ringones and notifications. !!!!
I have a rooted phone I cannot believe it is this complicated to seperate the volumes. and I so do not understand why google is forceing this. what could possibly be their motivation not to make this optional? Sure link by default not problem if we can just turn it of.
okay I found volume buttler some where else but it totallay does not sepperate the 2.
It only shows 2 sliders but only one works and works for both.
I cannot believe this. make my phone useless. Since people cannot call me like most of the time.
I have to get a seperate phone dumb phone? ith a seprate databundle just to get calls and my new . How evil is that. And people will not understand thay canot whats app me on my calling nummbers. They have to whatsapp me on my notification number.
Als this because of a lazy developer at google?
Screw fingerprint scanning or face recognition give me my seperate volumes.
And then people say give feed back! just go to settings / tips /feedback? Well my stock android 9 does not have that.
Getting desperate.
Maybe install 10 versions of each notifications sound and have an app rename them based on the volume I need. But still think it is totally unnessary! This is not a feature it is a basic function of the stupid phone.
I agree it's bs with stock not having this feature. On most custom Roms it's included.
This is on lineage 16
