I simply found this little trick which will let you have silent camera shutter, as you're entitled to have at first place. Some stupid regional thing made Google think as soon as you insert a SIM card you can't have silent camera shutter, whatever, their problem.
In any case, it couldn't be more easy. Just take your SIM card out of the phone. Reboot. Open camera settings. Then you'll see the option Camera sounds (see screenshot if needed), simply uncheck it, insert SIM back, done. Fortunately the setting will stick even after a reboot. Though you won't see that option there any more, until you use the SIM out again and reboot.
Wish there was a way like this for the screenshot sound. When SIM card is out of the phone, you simply put the phone to vibrate or DND, screenshot sound will disable too, but unfortunately after reinserting SIM the sound comes back
Enjoy.
just unlock your bootloader, then do a fastboot boot twrp recovery, then delete the audio files

That has not worked for a while, since Nougat release. Google made sounds part of the APK, the seperate files don't do anything.
Thanks for the tip, it even works on O DP3 and after a reboot with the SIM the option for sound is still there.

I dont get it, the sound off option has been there since February.
Doesnt require anything special other than to open camera.app settings and toggle it off.

That's because wherever you live the regional thing doesn't apply for you. So when you insert your SIM card the setting remains there, not for us, those who live in India and I'm sure we aren't alone either! Hope you get it now!
You could also boot into recovery (not flash) , copy off the framework-res.apk, decompile it, open up values.xml and disable it from there
is working for me, and today update to android 8 and continue working, THX!.
I can turn if off just from the camera app... I'm using a China SIM card.
Google released an app update for Camera that allows the user to disable shutter sound.
Then it went away I guess.
Then came back again this week or last week via PlayStore update.
Doesn't matter if an update was pushed or not, cause the moment an Indian SIM is inserted in the phone that disabling option will be gone. Obviously like I mentioned 100 times there is no such stupid law/rule in this country to have a damn option like that at first place but I think Google thought as Japan had to have it why not India as its in Asia too, I mean I don't know, I am trying to lower my IQ to think from Google's point of view.
That's the only simply way I found to have it disabled. Hope there indeed will be an update for real though.

This does not work for a Nexus 6. I found another way to silence the google camera easily also, put phone in dnd mode.
I made sure to buy my Pixel XL when I was back in the UK and this was one of the reasons. Australian phones also have this inability to turn off the camera sounds. So when you're out walking in the park and want to take pictures of a wallaby or if you go to a wildlife park/zoo and want to get some photos of a koala you can't do it with an australian mobile phone because of the "I'M USING A CAMERA' noise that emanates and scares off the animals and makes people turn around.
Best way is to root and save a silence audio sound file in place of the real sound file although on previous phones I just deleted the sound file and it seemed to work fine. However, the system will still be calling for that file when you take a photo and will be getting a "file not found".

But I have recently picked up a replacement phone for my aging MyTouch. It's still a good piece of hardware and instead of selling it..I want to re-purpose it into a media player/car computer.
While it's easy enough to just not have a SIM card installed and will due this if there are no other options. The problem is you get that annoying 'no SIM installed' icon at the top. As well as all the functions that where used to make this a phone. It'd be nice if they where just *Poof* gone! So the question really is, does anyone know of a ROM that does this? Preferably ICS.
I know this is an odd question. I'm also open to other ideas.
Just put it in airplane mode, that should do. You can still use wifi
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Hmm, I tried it before and noted that both my Wifi and Bluetooth had turned off. So I tried turning them back on after I put it into airplane mode and they both worked. It's a temp fix but thanks none the less.
Dont just open the Rom and take out phone.apk, you'll force close loop.

Downloaded and will be flashing this real soon. Thanks for the info. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Well flashed the zip to my phone. It didn't brick it. About all I really noticed is that it essentially put it into a permanent airplane mode. While it deleted the apps for making phone calls it had no effect on the parts of the ROM that render such things. For instance I still have shortcuts for making calls, the indication of 'no service' is still present, etc. This makes for a great stop gap, but to truly achieve what I'm looking for will require a completely revamped ROM.

Put the phone in Quiet Mode, this disables the camera click sound.
I had the same issue and I noticed, like Wally79 says, that the sound goes off whenever you put it in quiet mode.
Though putting your device into quiet mode every time before you launch the camera is a pain. So I downloaded and installed Llama, which allows you to set up automation rules, like "when I open camera, put phone in quiet mode". This automates the process and you will never heard a sound from your camera again

Not with my UK EE LG G2 it does NOT! It's updated to Kit Kat 4.2.2 Android BTW.
Is there not another way of deleting 'cameraclick.ogg' without rooting the phone? Rooting the phone for something like this is rather time consuming and a bit of a joke IMHO.
'Silent Camera' does not work either as I normally use Camera Zoom FX (brilliant!).
I keep wondering why, in this day and age that phone companies still want to keep so much control when they know you cannot leave them and the inbuilt technology makes it nigh on impossible to sell the phone whilst in contract.

Google. For a phone thats out a while a lot of info exists.
fist one that always works and has been mentioned is put phone on quit mode
second is root, custom recover and then get xdaddeb mods
third, fourth and fifth are posted across the forum from apps to changing certain files.
love everything about this phone, but before making the plunge I had a few questions.
1. I'm looking to get the L29 version. This is correct?
2. What is the notification issue I keep reading about? I read the forums but it doesn't seem concise. No notifications come up? some? does this effect one model over the other?
3. Is the audio jack volume high? on the Nexus 6p it's abysmally low.
4. Does this phone support MHL/HDMI out? i know there's Miracast and screen mirroring, but looking to use a cable if possible.
Thanks for your answers, really want this phone.
1 -Ideally, yes. Though either will work.
2 - Permissions and the "battery firewall" are messing with people. The device works much harder to keep the battery usage down than any device before it, so getting used to that takes a while, and people think it has "notifications issues" (Though I think there is one legit "issue" with whatsapp, but I dont use it)
3 - Has been by far good enough for me.
4 - Dont know, havent tried.
So do notifications not pop up? I read also about apps basically closing while in the background.

The way I understand it, one of the settings under the performance settings causes all background apps to close when the screen shuts off. You can fix this by whitelisting each app that you want to remain open. Like you, I have read other vague accounts in the forums and reviews about apps not staying in memory, but I don't know if they're talking about that or something similar to what the GS6 and Note 5 do with RAM management. I sincerely hope it's not the latter, as that's the whole reason I got rid of my Note 5.
As long as I can turn some of this off and make the phone behave more or less "normal", I'll be happy. My L29 arrives tomorrow.
As i said before in other Threads : NO NOTIFICATION ISSUES FOR ME SINCE B162 Update. (And yes i have whatsapp)

Is this a standard ota update? For which model if yes?
I flashed update from Thread here in XDA. L-29 3Gb.
Im not sure when it goes well... but i think it was B152.... B103 was annoying and there was defently a issue... but since B152... i think it works great.
I'm using L29 in Seattle with AT&T. I have no notification issues at all. My only issue is my Microsoft Band 2 doesn't always work. The audio jack volume seems perfectly normal to me when I last used it.

So, I received my L29 yesterday and set it up and played with it all day. I tested notifications and everything else I could think of. I have had no issues at all so far. The firmware I'm on is 103 and there are no updates when I check. Everything seems to be working as it should.
Reading the forums on here for several days before, I was expecting a hot mess. I actually kind of like Huawei's UI. It's different. I'm not even going to put Nova Launcher on this time.
I'm in Texas on AT&T LTE.
glad to see ure so happy with the setup

Just to add to the good review for AT&T. I have dual AT&T sims in this bad boy and enjoying it. Honetsly, the software has the best dual sim manager I have seen. Getting solid speeds. Getting used t EMUI is interesting.
Anyone know how to update to B156 from B103 on the L29? My OTA doesnt exsist.
yet. if ure still completely stock u should receive OTA updates at some point in the near future
I am stock. Waiting those 14 days to unlock the bootloader. Need coffee money!

Just want to give an update on my experience since receiving the phone..
First day was good, but I'm now seeing the notification issue. I have an L29 on B103. It seems to be mostly the email client I use (TypeMail or Blue Mail), but I tried stock Gmail and had the same issue. When the screen is off, I no longer get instant notifications. It seems like there's about a 5-6 minute delay before they come in, like the internet connection goes to sleep.
Yes I have turned off all battery optimizations for the apps and whitelisted them. I also set all of the notification options to "on". I have heard that rooting and disabling "phone manager" fixes this, but I'm not quite ready to take that plunge yet. There are no updates available for my device.

Edit: Scratch that, I see the update notes, but it seems the file you linked won't work. It's 1.4GB and says it's not compatible. I'm trying to do the incremental update to 153 now, but all of the links for the smaller update are broken for 160 on that thread.

All i know is that I downloaded one of the links he listed under the b160 and it had the update.app in it after you unzip... it is critical that you unzip and have the files inside the zip in the dload folder on your internal memory otherwise it won't work... I will try to post some pictures and maybe re-zip what i have and create a download link... when i get home from work
can i root nexus 6p, keep all content including apps, app settings & system settings?
Im having 2 major issues with my nexus 6p (since i got it) , yet huwawei refuses to give me support due to the fact that i bought the phone in the US and use it outside the US.
1. issue is that noise cancellation issue that make the other end of the call hear me very poor.
2. i really don't know if anyone encountered it, but once every 10 min or so my internal memory goes missing - which means no content in my gallery or music library etc.
i read i can disable the noise cancellation if i root the device, and i hope it will some how fix the other issue as well.
but, i just don't have the time or the energy to reinstall and reconfig everything (i can see myself only dealing with copying the photos and music back to my device) - i have 2 new born babies and no strength at all .
can anyone tell me if there's any way to backup everything ( including apps, app settings & system settings) -> root the device -> restore everything back on the rooted device?
thanks in advance!

Technically, rooting the phone doesn't wipe anything. But in order to root you need to unlock your bootloader, which wipes the whole device, there's no way around this. Here's my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
You should unlock it. Everybody's got pics and what not, don't be so clingy. If you want, back up pics with quickpic. I used to be clingy with like you, but after you wipe it through bootloader unlock you can put some new junk on it.
Thanks

Hey guys,
As the title explains, since I did the Oreo update on my A2017G (A2017GV1.3.0B02), I got a weird issue with the camera app.
Every time I take a picture, I have to wait for 5~10 seconds for the app to save the picture on my phone. If I try to take another picture right away, switch to another app, or do anything else, the picture isn't saved at all...
It's really annoying especially when I want to rapidly take more than one picture.
The issue isn't present in any other app that use the camera.
Does any of you know how to fix that?
Thanks
Is it set to save to internal storage or SD?

I tried both, and both are having the same issue.
Tried to also disable or change options like quality or GPS, still no changes.
my friend's axon had that problem on marshmallow, i didn't because i bought it later and my phone came with nougat. now on oreo it happened sometimes until i reseted the phone (for other reasons too) and the camera app. i don't have any problems yet.
If it takes the image and the problem comes after, it's either the image processing or saving of file.
I reset my phone and formatted my card to try and avoid issues. Camera works great.
Screwed with work mode and fingerprints, now cannot delete saved prints. Grrr, need to reset again. I tried flashing Oreo back over the top of itself which worked fine but no luck fixing the fingerprint problem so I assume the issue is in saved data.
You can flash yours back over. Download the OTA update file from the Oreo thread and use it same as an SD card update. I always keep a ROM in my SD just in case I need to fix it. Put it in a folder and just copy to SD root if you need to use it.
Thanks for your help guys, I found a fix to this issue, so I'm sharing it here in case people need.
It's very simple; just go the app manager and delete the camera app data.
Now restart it and it should work nicely ?

What problem do you have with the finger print scanner?
I realized mine got a lot less sensitive and precise since I updated to Oreo, and fail to read my fingerprints really often.
Edit: nevermind, I didn't read your post correctly
What a PIA, had to reset my phone again to fix the fingerprint issue. Setting up from beginning again. This time I will only use two prints
