Noise/Sound when unlocking - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

My S8 makes a Noise/Sound when I unlock the device with the face. Or when I have opened the camera and close it. It comes from the sensor area. Its like a " tick " but very quit. You must listen very close to hear it. Is it normal ? Or has someone the same issue ?

That's not an 'issue'.
Unlocking sound is an option in sound .
Matter of fact it's called screen unlocking sounds

Settings -> Sounds and vibration
Toggle "Screen lock sounds" and see if it's still there.

They clearly do not understand what you are talking about. I also have that soft click noise after I unlock the device. May be from the camera, but not quite sure. I do not have face recognition on, so I doubt it is the camera. I have yet to discover what it is. If you found out, please let me know. And no guys, it is NOT the default unlock sound.....

My Wizard Snaps At Me!

Just recently my wizard makes a loud sound when I tap on an option in the page menu, or whatever. The sound is so loud and it comes unexpectedly makes me jump out of my boots! Does anyone know what causes this and have experienced the same thing?

This and the fact that you have hardware clicks turned on in sound settings.

Nope, the volume was 1 notch below the center. This was the 1st thing I looked at after it happened. I guess I'm the only 1 it's happened to.
This actually happened to me a few times when i was on WM5, since i have switched to WM6 i haven't ever had this again. So i assume it is a rom glitch.

[Q] camera shutter

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

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.

Dual microphone: calls quality

I've notice some problems with the quality of the calls, mainly the way people hears me. Looks like the noise cancelling is not working well and the upper microphone is forcing voice cuts.
I did a test putting my finger on the up microphone and people hears me better.
Does anyone have experienced the same problem? Do you know if there is a way to disconnect by software the upper microphone?
Thanks
The upper mic works only for video recording. I want it to cancel the noise in calls, but for now there is not such an option.
Yeah I've got some complaints from people I called that the quality was bad, I sounded far away. I've posted a thread as well. I haven't tried to block the top mic, gonna try that!! I've tried to use the Service Menu to change some mice settings, but I can't get in the appropriate sub menu...
yes - I'd like to know the answer to this too ...
I've done a couple of tests more, its the upper mic...
Just tried to call in a noisy environment, and covering the upper micro made a difference.

NO, you have that option when placing or receiving a call. Just pres menu and activate noise cancelling.
And this is what I use to solve the problem, I deactivate this noise cancelling.
so do i have to deactivate the noise cancelling manually every single time for the better call quality?
Hmm... sucks to be.
I think no noise cancelling has to be default, and we shold be able to activate it when we need.

Yes, I've been looking for, but only found the option to deactivate during a call.
Cloud someone tells us if there is a way to to it permanently?
What base band or firmware version are you guys on? Be buying a note over the weekend andwill test to see if the same problems arise. Singapore version is DXKK1 with XXKJ6 Baseband.

SGN Latvia
Same problem for me. I have bought my phone here in Latvia. Everytime during the call I need to turn on noise cancelation manualy. Hope, Samsung will make some update soon.
The people I called said that deactivating the noise canceling was a major improvement in sound quality. It's a bummer I have to deactivate it each time I call, there must be a solution for that problem.
But what about the cause of this problem. Is this a firmware issue or is the upper mic defect? I would like to hear from more people, we can't be the only ones having this problem.. If the mic is defect I'm sending my note back to the supplier.

Gsmarenas review is up: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_n7000-review-676.php
gsmarena is reporting excellent call quality and audio (music) quality.
now which magical test unit did they receive?
In my case no one complained of audio quality, they said that the voice just sound perfect. And this thing happened on both SGS2 and Note with noise cancelation on.
So tiny holes each on top and bottom of the phone are microphones!
I thought they were water drainage holes

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?

Have you tried disabling "Screen lock sounds" in Settings/Sound? That kind of sounds like the camera sound... sorry if I'm totally wrong.

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.

mute stock camera snap sound

Any option to turn of stock camera capture sound? Tried keeping all the volume levels to zero. Still you can hear the capture sound
T-mobile works. I don't think it works on Verizon.

Unfortunately, I believe the only solution is to root your phone. From there, you'd be able to modify system camera files to permanently disable any and all camera shutter noise.
There are several threads on this topic.
Apparently it's illegal in Japan to have it off due to privacy issues so they never changed it for the rest of the world. Drives me mad too.
