If your phone is rooted just go to system/media/audio/UI with root explorer or another file explorer and delete Shutter.ogg in there. No more shutter sound.

[REQUEST] MUTE Camera Shutter Sound

Any chance this can happen? My old Droid Incredible could do this stock or rooted. It really comes in handy when you're trying to take pics discretely in public.

You can turn your media sounds to quiet. That's the only workaround setting at the moment. But yeah +1 to this mod/app/whatever.

if there is no app and you're rooted just move /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to another folder when you want it silent.
i used to just delete it in my themes for the desire.

Or with tasker set it to mute volume when in the camera app, easiest automated workaround

I just turn the phone main volume down. On the side of the phone. Works for me.

Just rename it to camera_click.ogg.bak

If your phone is rooted, you can replace the audio file.
The original file can be foun in: system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

adb root
adb remount
adb shell
mv system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.bak

I just delete the camera_click.ogg file, been doing it that way for quite awhile. Quick and easy. Only issue is that I have to repeat this when I install new ROM.

I may be missing something obvious here, but is there a way to disable the "tap to focus" sound as well? I had no trouble disabling the "click" ogg, but none of the other files in the directory seem to be the one that the camera makes when focusing.

I have Galaxy Nexus. Not rooted. Therefore volume down does not kill the 'click' of the shutter and the file ...ogg cannot be deleted. In simple words, seems no solution to silent camera's click.

root or not, it works, try again

yeah, i thought it was fairly obvious...
rename/move camera_focus.ogg which is in the same location as camera_click.ogg

Deleting them works fine. I have deleted almost all of the sounds in the media folder.

The GNex's camera isn't that great for upskirt pics anyway.

There is a 'phone mods' section in my ToolKit to rename the camera/camcorder sounds. Stock Rom users are covered as the ToolKit can boot an insecure boot image to your phone to give it temporary root access and allow the files to be renamed.

That only works in 4.0.3 Roms. In earlier builds renaming or deleting the file doesnt mute the focus sound although the other sounds can still be muted.

This app can mute the shutter and doesn't require root.

Probably because it set the sounds internally within the app itself and doesnt use the external system sounds. That way they can be enabled/disabled from within the app without needing root to rename the existing files
Shame the free version has ads in the worst possible location lol..

Works for me though on Android Revolution HD ROM on 4.0.2
Focus sound is nowhere to be seen! Not in the same directory as the shutter sound.

There's a menu in Settings called Sounds. In there' you can enable/disable sounds as you like.

I get you man! It almost drove crazy! and yes the sounds in question are located in /system/media/audio/ui/
I change 2 files : S_HW_Touch.ogg and TW_Touch.ogg with 2 files I picked from AOSP 4.2, set the permissions correctly and reboot ... voila , no more water-drops .
For the dialer you need to rename/remove/or replace Dialer_new.ogg in the same directory.

I replaced it = Dialer_new.ogg with other file/sound>>>>>>and it didn't help!.....the other two did changed
Only the dialer stays with the water sound
Any one?

I would love to know how to do it as well. The key tones on the dialer are very important to have certain sound, for some visually impaired people using this phone it really helps to listen to the key sound when pressing numbers to confirm right number has been pressed. Anybody at Samsung reads this forum? Can you please put back regular telephone dial sounds? What was wrong with the sound? This device is a telephone, right? If anybody can help me I would donate him. Thanx.

Since changing the other sounds worked for me, I assumed it would be the same for the dialer. I was wrong, I apologize.

No one? Come guys (and girls?)...I changed all 3 .ogg files as well, but unfortunately the Dialer sound is still the terrible water sound...although I can't find a SINGLE file on my phone anymore which IS that sound...so where does the phone find that sound/file????? Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhh!!!
This is spooky...or is it an encrypted file just to tease us?
Thanks,
ChaosDM

Can someone post the alternative files please? ?
thanks to Androssama for the files.
the files are here for the needy.
btw, the dialer sound is not annoying as it is a bit different now that the other sounds are changed to better ones.
you have to change the mount from R/O to R/W in the root explorer. & make a backup of the old files just in case. then copy paste the new files overwriting the old ones. change back the permission from R/W to R/O, reboot & enjoy.

Being rooted, w/ Note 2 and using root explorer, I changed to R/W, replaced Dialer_New.ogg, S_HW_Touch.ogg, and TW_Touch.ogg, changed permissions on them taking Write off, back to R/O mode, rebooted, and still dialer has drop sounds... Not getting this, am I missing something?

Did you try renaming the new sound file to Dialer_New.ogg?

I know it's been a long time but i just found this and wanted to share it with you guys:

SecContacts.apk\res\raw\touch.ogg

Now after unzipping the apk the ogg file is there, it should be the one as it sounds like the dialer. I tried all the stupid tricks I know (replacing it with another file and zipping back the whole thing, renaming it to apk since apk files are just fancy zips => didn't work. Tried embedding it in a flashable vrtheme zip file since those decompile, mod and recompile the apk => didn't work.) I don't know how to properly decompile an apk and since everyone is using a different ROM it'll be difficult to post requests.

I've been able to change the touch sounds from water drop to click which was pretty straight forward however the keypad dialler 'spelling"
was located in a different place than otherwise noted on the forum.
The dialler touch sounds were located in a different place than the touch wiz sounds. and it was one file not broken down into 1 2 3 ect.
This is for 4.1.2 i9100.
So I put it into the to hard to do basket and just left it. Sure you can use a app dialler but I like stock.
Wouldn't you think that someone as big as Samsung would allow you to make a simple sound change just by going to settings - sound.
Good luck.

I've been looking all over for this sound file (it's not Dialer_New.ogg in System/Media/Audio/UI)
I would be happy to replace the dialer sound with just a single touch tone sound I already have but can't locate the file.
(EDIT) - nevermind - now I understand the post above indicates that the file is located inside SecContacts.apk
SecContacts.apk\res\raw\touch.ogg
Does anyone know where to find the above file? I searched in Root Explorer from the top level (Root) but didn't find it.
Thanks

disable camera sound

I tried to disable the camera shutter sound but its not working.
Steps:
- Rooted the device with Odin
- Edited the other.xml <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
The option is now available in the camera menu but always jumps back to "on"
Any ideas? Thanks :good:

Switch to a custom ROM that makes this simple. That's one sollution.
You can also find that sound file (the CLICK noise is just a sound file like any other sound file) and replace it with a blank sound. I wouldn't delete it outright because it may cause a force close if the camera tries to access the sound file and it's not there.

I renamed the .ogg files to .bak but the autofocus still makes a beep.
Do the gestures still work on a custom rom? Can you recommend me a good rom?

Gestures should work on all TouchWiz roms. They will NOT work on any AOSP ROM.
We do not recomend any ROMs on XDA. It's a big no no here. (Because any such discussion inevitably degrades into a fight over what rom is best, and there is no correct answer to that)
But if you like your rom and just want a little more control stick with TouchWiz (it has a slightly better camera than AOSP roms as the software to control the camera is better, but closed source so it can't be ported to AOSP roms). You'll find that custom TouchWiz variants are very similar to what you have now, but with A LOT more control over the UI.

Just delete the files. Obviously you're rooted so that's easy. Look at ALL the sound files in system/media/ui.
The whole build.prop edit thing is mostly a gimik for a lot of things - as you should already be able to tell from this experience. It's a pointless argument, some people will argue on their death bed that build.prop edits aren't a placebo effect for most things.
Anyway, don't do the .bak rename either. What's the point? You plan on using the click sound again? Wasted space honestly. Delete them, enjoy.

Can shutter sound be turn off?

Hi. I haven't brought the phone yet but was wondering if the camera shutter sound can be turn off? Before, I had to root my device to completely turn off the camera sound. For the S6, is there an option for absolutely no sound when taking a picture?

would need root however there are always apps that accomplish this feat.
But to answer your question. Certain states have laws which require audible cameras. manufacturers typically build it in to avoid legal drama.

Samsung usually has that option in some versions of the software, however it typically is hidden on retail US releases. On my last two Samsung phones, there was no option there unless you were rooted and made an edit to the /system/csc/feature.xml file. I haven't poked around for CSC settings on the S6 yet.

If you have your phone on silent then it is silent but I haven't found a setting to turn it off yet by itself.

Just checked and it is in the CSC feature.xml to enable the shutter sound setting. Fairly certain it should work as it has in past devices. But im not rooted yet so cant say for sure.

IIRC, sometimes there's a carrier subfolder that has the feature.xml file instead.

Eforced_stream_silencer.apk should do the trick. It comes from google I think as well.

I turned it off by renaming the shutter.ogg sound in system/media/ui to shutter. Ogg. Bak

Confirmed this works on my Sprint Galaxy S6 SM-920P

I know this is an old thread but there are 3 or more shutter.ogg files. Renaming/deleting files will prevent the shutter sound on 1x zoom. Go higher and even at max 8 times zoom the shutter sound goes off. I have no idea where the directories are. This is frankly quite stupid.
I have docomo S6 edge upgraded to nougat.
