Disable camera shutter? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there's several guides out there to do it, including apps... The most effective way I've found is just editing the actual .ogg file, which works great, except when the shot is in HDR mode. Which happens to be when I want it to be silent the most (photos of my sleeping son).
I'm using the Google camera app and like everything except that... Any suggestions?

Put your phone in vibrate only mode and the shutter sound is disabled.
Easiest way to do that is to press volume rocker once to bring up the slider and tap the bell icon to toggle vibrate mode
Or just pres volume down until it goes to vibrate only.

This works w/ a traditional picture but not for HDR shots.

I have Nexus 6 and have completely removed the Camera_click.ogg file from \system\media\audio\ui and rebooted and cleared cache and I still get the shutter sound even without HDR mode.

Same here .. It used to work up to 7.1.1 (not sure) but since then, even after deleting camera_click.ogg or replacing the camera_click.ogg with a silent ogg file with the same name the shutter sound still comes up, so I guess it's "outsourced" from /system/media/audio/ui into the camera app?

With latest Google camera app you can't remove the shutter sound... At least that's what I've read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70253299&postcount=29751

I've been using open camera as that has the option plus a ton more.

Yes, I have Open Camera installed but actually I don't like the UI that much plus it sometimes switches randomly from portrait to landscape ignoring the postition of the phone.
I am using a workaround for now, as there is no free version of tasker I decided to give MacroDroid a try - the free version can handle up to 5 macros and that's perfectly enough for two macros - 1. on action camera app started, save current system volume in a variable and set system volume to 0 .. 2. on action camera app closed restore system volume to previously stored value. Works flawlessly.

Good idea!

Camera shutter sound

Hi! I really like the new camera on my s5 but I can't turn the shutter sound off. I sometimes take pictures in the bus from the outside landscape so its very annoying to have. Is there a way to turn this off without having to root the phone or using a 3th party app?

In camera app, tap settings, you should get all the icons such as picture size, burst shots, etc. It's a 4x4 row of settings. What isn't obvious is that this row will scroll, just scroll down and you'll get another 11 or so options, one of which is the shutter sound.

Must be carrier specific. Verizon does not have this toggle. The only way to turn off shutter sound is to turn your phone on vibrate or silent.
FWIW T-Mobile version has it.

My T-Mobile-branded S5 (germany) doesn't have it either. It works for me if I mute the whole phone (vibrate or mute) the shutter sound is off too.
If you have root, it shouldn't be a problem to just delete/rename the sound file, but I'm nor rooted (yet), so can't tell for sure.

Lower down the volume or put it in silence. On mine, I can't find way to turn it off.

Camera Shutter Sound

Searched the forum and didn't see anything, so sorry if this is a duplicate thread.
Now that we have root, is there a way that we can disable the camera shutter sound for when we do have our volume on? It's annoying that Verizon removed that option compared to other models. Thanks.
Yeah I did it on my phone. Download romtoolbox and go to root browser. Once there go to system folder, then csc folder, open up the features.xml file with RB editor. Once your there if you scroll down to the camera section you should see the camera shutter code. Change the "false" in the statement to "true" and there u go. Save it and reboot. Hope this helped

EDIT: the icon to disable the sound is already enabled.. I just had to scroll down in the camera settings..
does this work with 4.4.4 ? I don't see a camera sound setting that is set to false. There is one, but it is already set to true.

[Q] Shutter Sound

Does anybody know of a way to switch off the camera shutter sound? It's really loud. I have the N910F / Vodafone / The Netherlands. There's no option in the camera settings. Mute the phone doesn't do the trick, and the Enforced Stream Silencer can't get it done either In Camera FV-5 it's possible but I'd like to use the options of the Samsung app.

This is always an issue with phones, as it's in part due to privacy laws that the option to turn off the sound is missing. Usually someone comes along with a MOD but I tend to root my phones so I all I do is delete or rename the sound files found in /system/media/audio/ui

Activate the SILENT MODE profile then you can take pictures without sound.

Thanks. I think I've used the wrong term. With 'Mute' I meant I set all the different volume controls to zero. Then it's in the Silent Mode, right?
T-Mobile version has a toggle in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound. On my device it was toggled off by default.

Camera, time out-time

If left untouched, the camera-app will shut down after approximately 30 seconds.
Very frustrating when waiting for the perfect opportunity to take a picture.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
(Except from taking pictures or changing focus by half pressing the camera button or such)

Mine stays open all the time. I just opened camera app and put it on the table for about 2 minutes and it stays open.
Maybe u use any powersaving apps / modes?
Also, which firmware do u use?
Camera app V 1.0 or camera app V 2.0?
You can try to clear data via settings>apps>all>camera and test again.

1. Nope, no stamina mode or such
2. 32.0.A.6.200 (latest available stock)
3. Both? "Camera extension" is version 1.0 and "Camera common" is version 2.0
4. I have two, see 3 above, cleared both
Still the same after clearing data and rebooting.

Could u upload a screen recording of what exactly is happening?
And does it happen in all camera modes? (8MP, 23MP, 20MP, video, manual, superior auto, and AR as well?)
It happens if you go to camera app trough lockscreen shortcut or hardware button form stand-by, but if you unlock device, then go to camera app in normal way touching the icon from homescreen or in drawer then it won't shut down it self.

I think that is just a "feature" to prevent prolonged activation of camera if by misstake pressing the hardware shutter button or if screen goes on by some reason like sms and contact with skin through thin jeans pockets could pull around lockscreen buttons.

Oh then I misunderstood you. I thought u where talking about unlocking and then opening camera app.
I can confirm the issue now lol, but I think this is to prevent the camera staying open in case it accidentally opened.

That seems correct. Opening the app as you said made the Camera stay open til I close it manually.
I´ve never opened the camera that way before since I hava a physical button for it.

That´s probably why.
I would still like to change the behavior but I guess that´s not something done easily. (Or does anyone know a way?)

U can use app like Tasker to set system volume to 0 whenever you launches camera app. And turn back on system volume as an exit task.
