[Q] shutter sounds Marshmallow V20A - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I didnt find anything so Im going to make a new thread. On Lollipop I simply renamed all files, rebooted and camera was silent. After updating renaming changes nothing for me. Is there a solution for that on MM?

Just to give your post a bump: I too would like to know this. Renaming camera-click.ogg and some other files used to do the trick, but now this shutter sound seems unrelated to the files in media/ui. Very strange...

Yes its annoying as even turn of ringing volume to zero is bugged for me, if I record a video it starts silent but stipping the video again plays the sound. But it seems we are the only ones annoyed by this

I've also come across the option to edit build.prop and change ro.camera.sound.forced or some other such line from true to false. However, in MM I can't find a line even remotely like that.

And finally I came along a recent post of someone who had silenced a few ogg-files. But no, even that doesn't work. So I've gone back to Snap Camera, which has a simple option to silence the shutter.

What sound setting controls camera sounds?

I somehow managed to mute my camera and I cant get the shutter sounds back! I dont know what happened but I think it happened when my phone froze up.
So I checked and unchecked the shutter sound setting in camera and it did nothing, is there some hidden volume that I need to be looking for, Ive seen other weird volume setting such as navigation and such at random times and am just wondering if I somehow silenced some secret camera volume that I need to refind .

Try downloading sound manager for free from the market and see what your system volume is
Swyped from my EVO running CyanogenMod 6.1 Nightlies

Thanks, I tried that and my system volume is around 85% but my camera sounds are still not there. This is weird as my camera sounds did work just earlier and now they are just completely gone. Anyone else have any ideas?
Stock phone or rooted with a custom ROM?
Rooted with mikfroyo
I read somewhere on here that to shutter sound can be fixed with a file taken from CyanogenRom...might have read it in the Caulkin Evio 2 Rom thread...
hmm, thanks, Ill look into that.
hmmm, I think Im dumb, the camera sounds may just be messed up in the mikfroyo build. So maybe I just imagined the sounds working, lol. Thanks though guys, I learned of a new great app at least in this thread.

[Customizing Sounds] Is this file in system/media/audio/ui?

Is there a file called LG_Cable_Disconnect.ogg in system/media/audio/ui?
Was replacing sounds in my phone and I wasn't sure if there was a sound effect for a cable disconnecting. I know there's one for when it connects, but was there one that played when you unplug it?

There is not in mine.
BUT... I am on AT&T, so there is a small chance it is different.
Speaking of sound changing, only a handful of sounds seem to be actually working when replacing files. LG_Cable_Connect.ogg, and PowerOn.ogg are the only ones I've tested that seem to work. PowerOff.ogg isn't playing (despite my music app being able to play it if I open it directly from the folder) while Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg seem to be completely ignored, with the phone playing the default lock and unlock sounds despite those files being deleted already. All of the files are set to 644. Anyone wanna try seeing if these guys can be edited?
On a side note, I figured out it was the volume sound I deleted. could someone please locate the volume sound and give me the name to see if I can customize it please?
In fact, would someone be so kind as to give all the file names so I can double check that I got the names correctly? I stupidly didn't make a backup of them before deleting and replacing.
so far ive only changed poweroff and poweron and they both worked for me. as for the volume sound i cant seem to find it. do you remember what it was named?

I could be wrong, I just remember seeing a volume sound in there and think I deleted it without adding my own custom sound to replace it, but perhaps my memory has failed me.

only file with the word volume in it is a 30 second clip of a song.
here are all the files in UI and the .ogg i was talking about
Yeah, that's the volume file. Too bad it isn't actually the volume beep. What the hell is that file used for then? Anyway, I managed to get PowerOff to work by making it into PowerOff_Sprint (which is odd considering I didn't need PowerOn_Sprint for the opposite to work). Lock sounds will still not play for me though, they just play stock lock and unlock noises despite them not being in the folder anymore. Perhaps they're located in a different folder?
I just checked and we have a LG_Cable_Connect.ogg but no disconnect sound (sprint). Unrelated, but it appears that we have some....interesting... bloat sound files in /system/sounds/lgeSounds.
Has anyone been able to change the lock and unlock sounds successfully?
Now that I've got my lgog, I am also trying to disable some of the sounds, but am having no luck finding the right files to rename/delete/etc. Has anyone else been able to find the right files?

What I was most trying to figure out where the lock / unlock sounds, not realizing that there was an actual menu option for those. Found it and now I shall hang my head in shame for asking before really looking deeply.

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.
I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3
The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Ooops yea edited my post to reflect that im talking about headphone volume.
I had a chance to play YouTube on G3 through speaker.
The speaker is nice if it's not louder than S3.
I'll take a crack at it. I'm at work now but ill see if i can figure it out in the am

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.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

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.

HTC 10 power on / boot sound

I can't find how to turn off the loud ringtone that happens whenever powering on or rebooting the phone. Just got the phone today from HTC USA unlocked, and updated it to 7.0. Usually you can shut off this sound. Love this phone so far. Thanks
My experience is you can usually disable the sound on custom roms either during the aroma installation or by removing the audio file / renaming it (which you can do with root access even on a stock rom).
Never known it to be an option on HTC phones though ... or one that is a problem for someone. How often do you turn your phone off and on?

Thanks, I don't power on the phone often but I'm worried I'll do it in some quiet place, like a classical concert. You're right, I should forget about it and just be careful. The phone is stock with no mods.
If it helps any the file is found:
system\customize\resource\HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3

If you turn the Ringtone volume down, the boot up sound will be quieter, is one thing I've noticed. Possibly even silent if you just use vibrate.

Good idea.
There's an app on the Play store called Silent Boot. It does what it says just fine with Marshmallow. No clue if it still works on Nougat though...
Cool, I'll check it out.
Confirming that unfortunately Silent Boot doesn't work on the latest Android 7.0 update for HTC 10. Kinda want to return it... or go down the mod path. Halp.
Got Nougat OTA update, Silent Boot still does the trick after that.

No audio through top speaker?

During voice calls I get no audio through the top speaker (people can hear me fine however so it's not a microphone issue). When I switch to speaker phone I at least get audio from the bottom speaker so I can use the phone. However, playing music or any video content both speakers work fine. I factory reset the phone and it worked fine for a few hours, then quit. Booted the phone in safe mode, didn't work. Factory reset and didn't install ANY apps, didnt even link a gmail to it, didn't work.
This will be my 3rd device (2nd replacement through verizon and the original) that have all had the same problem. I would say it's an app issue, but when it still doesn't work in safe mode, or before installing any apps....
Verizon is clueless and just keeps telling me they'll send me a new device. Any ideas?

Do not even know where to find these information. moreover the top speaker is completely off, do you believe that is a matter of tuning.
For sure the device need also a better tuning since the top speaker is less lowed than the bottom one.

You need your phone rooted & File explorer, you just open the app & copy /system to sdcard, pack it up & send to me. Or if you're unrooted, then FX file explorer can copy /system partition to sdcard (doesen't matter if it's internal, or external one) without root.
If you do that - i can take a look at system files & libs in order to know what's possible. Maybe it's also possible to force earpiece to reproduce music stream via mixer patch. Anyways, i'll better know if anything is possible only when i look through the files. The reason why i'm asking is because i've tried all img unpackers that i know, but they crash when i try to unpack any Oreo firmware img, for whatever reason.
Hello, i have made an App for this Problem. I have two Pixel 2 XL since 1 week and when i got my first call i hear, that the ringtone was very quiet.
So i tryed to solve this Probleme with an App. After 1 week my App ist now ready.
I would be glad if someone would try my Workaround.
I'am sorry but i can't post links. You can find my App in the playstore com.loudspeaker

Toggle off hearing aid setting
I ran into the same problem when I first setup my Pixel 2 XL and here is how I determined what caused it.
Verizon test calls are #832.
1) I tested the phone when I first got it without holding up to my ear, that has hearing aids, and the top speaker and both speakers worked fine.
2) I tested the phone #832 and held it up to my ear, the top speaker did not work, but when I put it on speaker mode, I can hear.
The way to fix is hit the phone application as if you are going to make a call, hit the three ellipse on the upper right side, this is a menu (3 dots) > Settings > Accessibility > Toggle off Hearing Aid.
I am a combat veteran, so I have two Resound Revision hearing aids to help me hear, these through a small 2.5 GH signature that caused the Pixel to automatically Toggle On the Hearing Aid feature.
I hope this solution works out for you.

My initial attempts failed because I was looking in the main system accessibility settings. When I finally went into the phone app and then clicked the 3-dots and selected settings, I was able to select that accessibility menu which contained the Hearing aids option. Turning that option off restored the top speaker phone function. Still no idea of how that option got set . . .
Thanks!
