Is it possible to eliminate the sound of the camera shutter?
Thank you!
it's an anti-perv feature...usually samsung and lg phones have them and can't be silenced unless you hack it

Thanks anyway!
Lol thats wicked. Ma phone has an anti-perv feature classic.
So what does this mean ?
1. I have to take the phone back to the shop
2. The camara won't work for me
3. Use it illegally
Can't you just cough when taking the upskirts now ?
On the other note. I don't mind the sound myself, First time i noticed it tbh when i read this post. Can't mute my DSLR shutter..., And i'm pretty sure thats a camera... So game on...

But just to be able to change the shutter sound. Are you wicked? Look under the skirts? With phone?
Possibility exists with HTC to eliminate the sound of the camera shutter!
I get ya, Would be nice to turn off, Sure over time something will come out. Maybe an app ?

I think not. I do not know samsung. I've always had htc. But in this moment, Omnia7 is the best device winmo7.
I'm looking into it now or you lol. Soon as i find a way into the phone directory, sure you can just change the file to a silent file. or change the shutter level in an INI file somewhere... Optimistic
The hardware buttom is good!
Is that just me or is he falling with a Samsung but it's an LG at the end :S

But the hardware is the same!
The hardware for all WP7 is the same, they all had to meet certain requirements and i'm betting none of them "over or exceeded them" by much
Now... how to read this... nand...
I just muted the sound and viola the shutter noise is gone....
Seems it's a simple fix.

mute the sound as in put in into vibrate mode/turn sound all the way down?
you really think people haven't tried that?! unless you have another way of muting the omnia 7?
maybe it is carrier specific whether they allow you to disable the shutter sound or not.. if yours realy does mute then im jealous! wish i was able to use te camera without everyone in a 10m radius giving me funny looks
I can report the same.
I just have to make the volume to 0 and then I don't have the shutter sound.

my omnia 7 doesn't care if im on full volume, half volume or mute. shutter sound is always full volume.
im in the uk on t-mobile. maybe its to do with carrier/country
Well it works for me and 001mic,
i'm UK with t-mobile, so that doesn't make sense
As you can tell from my < thingy there...
UK ,T-Mobile .Reducing volume has no effect on camera shutter sound for me.

Would anybody please try to make a cab that would somehow lower the incall volume?
I know there are many of us that "hate" our Leo for damaging our ears! Please help us fix that!
Don't point us to HTC support! Have been trying that for about 7 weeks now, with no real result but pathetic fixes.

First off I will be moving this thread to general when I have finished responding.
Secondly, can you explain your problem a little better please. If you really mean turn the in-call volume down, ie NOT when the phone is in speakerphone mode, you can do this now by simply holding the down volume key while in the call to make it happen.
If this is not what you mean then have another go at explaining yourself.
Cheers
WB
unless i've read this wrong i think you win the worst question of the year award...lol
as above, just turn down the volume.
sorry to but in here and sorry if its a noob question but i've had the same problem...
when i answer a call the volume is so loud everyone around me can hear the call!
now i've tried clicking the side key to lower the volume but it goes to the black screen with the bar and silent and vibrate on there and its only on 6%
I'd want to say (another noob comment) that i have sometimes found the sound is irregular, sometimes its low but normally very loud... isnt there meant to be a function where you place the phone next to you're ear and it lowers the volume so its not damaging you're ears?
I think that question is valid. You can only turn it down so much. All sounds on HD2 are too loud; be it call, music, speakerphone, ringing. You can hear speaker breaking at 50%, and your ears bleeding at more. Distortion is present even at low values.
So, I'm with OP, but I want to expand request: how to lower ALL volume on HD2? In other words, instead 10-100%, I want 1-10%.
maybe i just havent noticed due to being pretty much death
the question should be: how to reduce the default incall vol, is that right?
The earpiece and handsfree produce a lot of noise, I agree. there are a few threads already about volume too high and poor sound quality i.e. distorted audio. with earpiece calls try raising the volume first to just above minimum, then keep lowering the volume even when level indicator has reached minimum to reduce call volume further.
Don't be quick to judfe please!

Maybe I haven't explain myself well enough. Why do you and all the smart asses that gave all that cheap advice think that just because we're not mods or developers we're dumb.
It is a well known problem with the HD2. Even with the volume all the way down (while talking on the phone) it's still very loud!!!! Very Very Loud! And I don't mean that trough speaker phone but through the earpiece!
Does this justify my frustration and my legitimate question?
If you can't say nothing good say nothing at all!
thank you!
I know of those threads!

We do expect more of the senior members here but then again maybe we're wrong in doing so!
why do you assume I don't know how to use the volume buttons?
It's a well known fact that hd2 is very loud while incall and even with the volume all the way down is still too loud!!!
G
its loud indeed,
I and I would be personally intrested in lowering the top volume, so highest settings are more reasonable, and stepping down from that actually make it lower sensibly
I had this issue with the call volume being too loud even when turned down, and sometimes it would distort/crackle with certain words/letters. I used the following registry tweak and it's worked absolutely perfectly for me. I've used it on the old ROM and the latest.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\inCall AND InCall2
Change the value of InitVol to "2" in both inCall and inCall2
See if that helps

I've done that too but that volume is for incall notifications only. You can verify that by having someone call you while you're engaged in a call. You will barely hear them if you turn the volume to "2".
thank for trying though!

I think the members want you to be more specific. Identify what ROM & radio you are using and what you have done so far to resolve the problem.

I don't like how it buzzes every time I start or restart the phone.
Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks.
I'm sure it's possible, it starts right when the splash comes up. But why does it matter? Is it worth modifying the recovery to stop less than a second of vibration...its not like it's going to eat your battery.

Probably because it's noisy. There are some times when you might want to startup or restart your phone and not make any noise. If this was a Nokia, where the vibrate only vibrates and doesn't make a rattling noise, it wouldn't be an issue.

Put your phone down on something soft like a towel. Make it vibrate. Can you hear it? That's a rattle. A phone should not make noise when it is vibrating.

Isn't the definition of sound "vibrations in the atmosphere"?
When I'm cooking a ROM and flash it the first time, that is my sigh of relief that the phones going to boot. That and when the light dims.
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the camera shutter sound? I was unable to find it in the camera app settings (thank god, since that means it wouldn't save anyway...), and I didn't see it by going through Settings>Camera. Anyone have any luck trying to turn this sound off?
I don't think it's possible right now and may never be officially since there are laws in many countries that mandate audible clicks while taking pictures. Once hacked, there may be a possibility.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's looking for a solution. It's very loud and disruptive when I'm trying to catch my dogs playing or sneak a pic of my wife doing something silly. I really hope somebody finds a solution for this soon.
Hello, i just bought my focus yesterday and just found out if you lower the volume all the way to zero it doesnt have a shutter sound. Hope that helps, its not a good solution but something.

OK so i was intrigued that people got to do it but i couldn't........so i restarted the phone and I was able to do it dont know why sometimes it makes the sound and why some times it dosent.........microsoft has problems with sound for a wile....so maybe they will fix this soon.....I will keep testing to see what program makes it go erratic
this worked for me
Hey everybody, I've been trying to get around the issue for a while myself and found this: karnicki.eu/?p=10 for the omnia7. It did the trick for me and whenever I set the phone to silent the shutter stays in STFU mode! I fiddled with the sound settings before but it might be something magical about the 1000/-1000 combo. Please test and confirm.
Pause song, turn volume all the way down
Simple "Fix" is to start a song in zune, then to pause said song and to also turn down the volume to zero (0). This keeps the shutter from playing but only as long as you have a paused song in zune.
once there is a file manager hack for the phone, you should be able to just delete the sound file for that one specific sound. Thats what i did on my iphone along w/ the stupid SMS sent sound.
Put the volume all the way down to Zero, turn it off, turn it on, then it should be gone. It worked for me
Okay, I did a little searching on XDA, and found that the only way to remove the shutter noise and video record beep was to unlock and use an explorer to delete the .wav files... Is there an alternative to doing so? I am currently on NoDo, and I'd prefer to stay on it if possible.
On a side note, is this fixed for the Mango update? There are a few issues I'm looking forward to them fixing. I hope this is one of them. I heard it's supposed be a manufacturer's decision to add the beep, but Mango should still offer that option.

Touch volume up/down, than the "ring" icon on the upper right half. It will turn to "vibrate". For pictures/videos I had no sound in NoDo and don't have in Mango using this. "Restore" back after photos

I heard of that method, too. But when I change my ringer to vibrate or turn my sound down all the way, the shutter still comes up.
In any release prior to Mango, the only guaranteed way to defeat the shutter sound (without hacking) is to start playing a song in the Zune player, pause it, and then turn the volume all the way down on the phone. Anything else seems to have mixed results, but that method always works.
In Mango (not sure about the beta) there will be an option to turn off the sound.

That actually worked, thanks. I tried it with loading a video instead, and it also worked. Unnecessarily tedious, but at least now I know I can turn off the shutter sound temporarily.
I'm surprised there isn't a camera app yet with this feature.
I just updated to Mango with a dev account about an hour ago. There's a dedicated on/off check box in ringers and sounds now.

Yeah. That's what I meant. Or at least what I think you mean.
You want the shutter sound to be off, right? The Mango has an option just for that. Leaves other sounds on, shuts the shutter sound off.

I hope it starts having smarter data usage, like Android and iOS. Kind of annoying going to settings all the time to turn on data/wifi.
Hi, sorry if this is posted somewhere else I couldn't find it.
I'm Using CM7.2 It works grate, exept for a strange problem. The phone is inactive next to me but without turning it on not ever touching it, the sound of the camera starting is played.... I turn it on but no program has been launched nothing happened at all.
If any can give me a clue of what can me happening will be apretiated

Is not the sound of the camera but of some internal program which was automatically closed or opened. Don't worry....
Since a few days these sounds keep appearing on my phone too. I'm on CM11. Any clues what "internal programs" could be responsible?

Screen locks sound are disabled. I get the feeling that these sounds appear when I'm in an area with bad wifi coverage, but I'm not quite sure. They appear even when the phone is muted, by the way.
I keep hearing camera sound from my phone too once in a while. I'm on Quarx's 4.1.2 atm. The sound doesn't seem to appear according to a pattern but randomly, and not extremely often. Once when I heard the sound I was curious if it was from the actual camera so I put it next to my ear with the camera to hear the sound better. It was from the camera, like the sound when the protection cover opens or it focuses or something (I'm not good with cameras). It wasn't produced by the speaker, it was a mechanical sound. Hope this helps anyone.
Malware, perhaps? That sound is heard as the camera application is started. Can you hear a fainter sound after the initial sound, the one which is heard as a picture is clicked, the 'focusing' sound

It's the same sound effect that appears when opening the camera, not the "focusing" sound or the sound when taking a picture.
Maybe Skype?
I read in CM11 thread that this kind of sound was caused by Skype. Have u installed skype? If so, uninstall it and use the mobile for one day to see if the problem gets solved.
