Thanks

I can't seem to find the option to switch off the camera shutter sound too
The camera setting don't seem to be permanently set all the time, for eg. when I switch on auto contrast, it went back to "off" again when I use the camera for the second time.

Shutter sound can't be disabled by default. If you are rooted, you can rename the ogg file and it won't play.
File is in /system/media/audio/ui

It seems the SGS2 has gone backwards as even with SGS1, the camera sound can be turned off in the settings menu.

Don't take this as absolute truth, but I'm pretty sure it's the law in some countries that you're not able to turn off the camera-shutter sound.

"Blade buddy" allows you to turn it off. It's free on the market.

This is true in a number of locations.

I've managed to stop the shutter sound and the video recording start/stop sounds by renaming all the camera-related ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder, but I can't seem to find the ogg file for the camera 'autofocus' sound.
Does anyone know which file this is?

The focus sounds are stored inside the camera app itself and because of that a little harder to get rid of. Because it is app-related you could use another camera app and not have the problem... or you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074628

Root explorer (or other proper apps) should ask for root permission, allow that. After that you'll need to mount the system partition with write access. Root Explorer has a little button at the top for this, no experience with other apps.

how did you do this? i tried but it says it's "read-only"

Yes the autofocus is in camera apk. Don't just delete it though as it needs code edits

[Q]How to change the camera shutter sound?
no need for me to open a new topic, since i got a similar question, how can we change that horrible camera shutter sound?
the default sound from the sgs1 is what I'm looking for, i found out that this specific sound is played by the system in sgs2 when you take a screenshot (by pressing Home + Power buttons), but i can't figure out where to find it and how can i set it as the default shutter sound for the camera app
so, i don't want to disable the sound, i already found some topics explain that, i just want to replace it
any help is appreciated

OK found it, but how can i replace the files with an silent one.
I cannot cut or rename those original .ogg files, probably because it is situated in the apk file.
what to do?
also the solution for 'maranello69': copy the beloved shutter1.ogg file from the sgs and just replace it in your sgs2.

Just put the phone in vibrating mode and the sound is gone

The latest firmware (say KF3 for XEU phones) turn off camera sounds when the phone is set to vibrate or silent.

The 2.3.4 update also does this (its the first one I've bothered updating my SGSII for). I'll just set Tasker to set silent on when the camera is on, and revert when the camera app closes, job done.

[Q] about camera sound

do you have a sound like a 'click' when you shutdown camera app? it is only noticable at noiless area. i am using pardus rom,xdabbed,dorimanx

No answer?

I believe it has it, or its from the LG system sounds. See or you could disable it if it annoys you.

Oh now I get what you mean, the camera closes down and goes into its original state nothing to worry about that's on the most phones like that.

Camera shutter sound and app list lag

Hi,
I am trying to disable the shutter sound without rooting but i can't get it to work. Even in silent mode the camera still makes noise.
Do you guys have lag any lag when you open the list of apps that you are running to go from 1 app to another 1?
Thanks!

[Q] N910H Camera Shutter Sound

Hi,
Does anyone know which country N910H ROM has native option to mute camera shutter?
I am hoping to avoid root. While taking pictures of birds and animals I would like to turn of shutter sound. So I would like to flash such official ROM

you can mute it with enforced stream silencer.

Thanks for the reply. I would still like to know about the country with that option available.

you can mute it on all models of the note 4.

To my knowledge, there is no option to mute camera sound in any note 4 version in default. It's only available in custom rom, or custom camera software. Or you can just silent your phone, and the camera will also silent

your knowledge is wrong. install enforced stream silencer and mute it.

Do you see his question? He is asking that if note 4 has native option to mute the camera sound or not. He is not asking what application used to mute the camera sound. I believe you that you can mute the camera with enforced stream silencer. But once again, check his question man!
I included screenshot of the option if you still doesn't know what he meant.

i know what he meant. he wanted an option to mute camera sound. enforced stream silencer gives you that option. you can turn sound on. you can turn sound off.
what is so difficult to understand ?

Not true. My stock Verizon Note 4 (SM-N910V) has an option to mute the camera shutter in the settings. It didn't at launch, but a subsequent update added it in. Some carriers in the U.S. had it in the settings for the Note 4 at launch. I didn't have to download any additional or custom software.
It's not included by default on all versions of the Note 4, but it is on some.

My understanding is that in some countries is illegal to take silent pictures (S. Korea? ) and there is no option to turn off sound in camera settings. My tmo version has ot included. I think that easiest way is to just turn off phone sound from notification panel right before taking picture or press and hold power button and mute phone from device options menu. It is not permanent solution but will do the trick.

EVERY note 4 can silence shutter sound. there are some which do not have the option IN THE CAMERA MENU. in those devices you download and install this application (attached) and click to silence it. in the others you click on the camera menu which does the same thing.
there - how complex is that to understand ?
you do not need root to silence it.
you do not need to go to silent mode.
you do not need to flash a rom.
you do not need to change countries.
all you need is to expose the enforced stream toggle option. which you can do without root by installing the enforced stream silencer app.

While I appreciate everyones response. I would still like to know CSC of 910H variant which has this option available as default. Any 910H variant user who has it, kindly reply.

Can't turn off Camera shutter / Screenshot sound

Since yesterday after I played a whatsapp voice message, I can't turn off the camera shutter and Screenshot sound, even though I have my phone in complete silent mode!
Did anyone ever have this problem with their 6p or know any solution to turn off those sounds?
I allready restarted the phone, uninstalled the camera updates and reinstall from the play store, went into the settings to make sure I was in silent mode, still nothing works!
Any help is much appreciated!

I think that Google's intent was to prevent non-determined creeps from taking "upskirt" shots and other related idiocies. You have to delete/rename some file, I think it was /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg or some such. This needs root.

Oh so this might actually be location based? This actually started after I arrived in Seoul, didn't think that that could be it so I didn't mention it!

It's illegal in South Korea (and many countries) for any mobile phone maker to sell a phone that allows a user to silence the faux shutter sound on their mobile phone cameras. You'll need to download a custom ROM that allow them to be silenced, or delete the sound like the above posted said.

That is really interesting! A friend of mine has a stock samsung galaxy s7 and it doesn't make a single sound when taking a picture!
Anyways, thank you very much for your answer, really appreciated and I even learned something!
