Hello,
I've just got a LG-H870DS (LG G6 Dual Sim - Indian version). I couldn't manage to disable the shutter sound. I'm photographing animals (especially the birds and squirrels) in parks and nature. So camera should be silent to not to distract animals. But I couldn't find any option to disable it. LG G4 was just fine about this point but I had to give my G4 to my sister. So, I guess my question is clear: How can I disable the shutter sound?
Thanks.
I want to know also. Why is there not an option or when all other sounds are muted?
The only way I know of is putting the phone on silent or vibrate modes.
Good question, hadn't noticed yet.
For those who are rooted, would it be possible to identify the sound file and delete it?

Hey guys.
I'm having a slightly annoying issue.. Namely the camera shutter.
I can't turn the shutter noise! And I'm not even using the original camera app. If I do there's not even an option for it. In MX Camera, there is an option to turn off the shutter sound, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing this is LG's fault.
It is not illegal in my area to mute the camera.
Anyone know how I can do this?
This doesn't work?

Nope. It keeps making the shutter noise.
Can u turn it off with stock camera?

Is it the default shutter sound? If so, try renaming 'camera_click.ogg' (and 'camera_focus.ogg') in the /system/media/audio/ui folder...
Try these...
Try this:

Or this:

These two works silently well in my G2...
On the stock phone app if you put your phone in silent mode, the shutter sound is silent. At least it is on my at&t phone with the Aeon 2.1 rom which has a Korean base.

Not the case on mine. If I use silent mode it still makes the shutter noise, as I experienced in the library the other day....

Right, I have a LG G2 on Wind Mobile.
Hardware: LG-D801
Software Ver.: D801V11b
Tried several 3rd party camera apps such as Camera MX / Line Camera without success.
Setting to Silent/Vibrate and manually toggling the volumes within the stock system was unsuccessful.
Tried Glen's Camera Mute and was unsuccessful even with toggling Enable/Disable and with a tester version with built-in volume adjustment.
I think rooting may be the only solution, but I'm new to this game so I'm still trying to figure out how to root and how I'm supposed to make the camera silent after rooting.

I am rooted. Haven't checked since I installed AOSP though. I can't imagine the issue is still present.

So... before you had this issue and after rooting no more issue?
Is AOSP a rom?
I guess Verizon did one thing right, you can turn the shutter sound off on the VS980.

AOSP is "pure" Android, with no custom UI etc. It seems like the issue is gone now yes.

There is an option for it in the stock camera on the 802, it just doesn't work. Most likely a bug or something like it.

Sorry still confused... so is AOSP a rom that somebody developed?
I have to root my device and somehow install AOSP?

AOSP Means Android Open Source Project. It's the basic Android that is launched on for example Nexus phones, without a new UI from say, Samsung or HTC.
It is not something you are going to install simply to get rid of the shutter noise, however I (And many others) greatly prefer these versions of ROMs over the bloated ones from the phone companies.

WIND Mobile D801 here. Can confirm that the Camera mute app doesn't work, silent mode doesn't work, no option for disabling shutter sound from in the app, and renaming the file with ROOT does nothing.
The audio must be within the camera app somewhere, but I can't figure it out. Please help! So frustrating.
I have Verizon and I can turn off the shutter sound for camera, but not for video. :crying:

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.
I don't believe this was posted in an actual step-by-step guide, so here it is! This worked to successfully stop the camera shutter sound from going off when snapping photos with the volume up on my VS986. I hope this is the same as other G4 variants, so let me know if this works for you as well and which model you have.
Before you get started, you need to be rooted for this method.
Step 1:
Use a root-capable file browser of your choice (I prefer SolidExplorer) and navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Step 2:
Locate cam_snap_0.ogg and camera.click.ogg and rename the file extensions to .OLD, as seen below.
Step 3:
Reboot, then test
Or just mute the sound before taking a picture if you really don't want be heard.

You beat me to it for the witty response.
If you wanna be a creeper there's also a sneaky cam app which takes the picture with a black screen present.

Not everyone thinks about it before they launch the camera app, and this fixes the need to always turn the volume down.

There's many reasons people don't want the shutter sound. Such as taking photos of a sleeping baby, animals without scaring them, in quiet restaurant or function, etc. Plus third party programs don't utilize LG's great camera software.

Did you know some Country Variants etc: Korea Variants like what I have, even you mute the sound of your device, the camera shutter still as loud as it is. I believe it is the policy of the country
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20031111/099242.shtml
Now if we can shut off the autofocus sound
Figured it out, just rename the af_failure and af_success file.
tnx for the guide
it worked on my H815

There are audio files for auto focus as well, I assume you can follow the same procedure for that. Try doing this method on af_failure and af_success files.

Right but it would seem all the G4 variants do not allow to disable sound. I find that strange since samsungs provide that setting for non-korean variants.
So it should not require root to be able to do this...but whatever...

I edited and wrote the fix underneath my original question lol
Here's something I don't get...
cam_snap_0 and camera_click don't actually seem to make the sound we hear in the camera app, right?
The closest I found was shuter_mirror_up/down, but that didn't actually take away the shutter sound like the two outlined above.
Why is that?
All shutter and focus sounds disabled! Thanks!

Just rename doesnt work for me (H815), but what worked: edited audio files with audacity. now the cam is silent, always while AF and taking a picture.
No flashable zip. Extract and replace files manually in /system/media/audio/ui/
Edit: one day there was sound again. Fixed it with setting permissions to -rw-r--r-- on every replaced file. Reboot and there was silence.

Thank you Spillunke! Your files is work!
editing sound works on my phone [LG G4 H818p - rooted]

Thanks, I installed V10 Port Camera and there was sound again. Renaming = no effect.
Renaming didn't work for me. H815 v20D stock.
thanks:good:

Can confirm that renaming is not enough. The silent files are needed and their permissions must be changed to 644 rw-r--r--.

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!
Hello everyone!
Can I somehow disable beauty mode for the front camera?

Camera app settings aren't kind of working for the thing I want to do.
Yes, I CAN turn off the beauty mode when I am taking a selfie, but I CAN'T pick whether I want my face to be beautified while I am using skype video call for example or not. Thats what I want, thats why I told you that my phone is rooted, if its possible to make some adjustments in the root directory to disable it completely.
I dont want my face to look smooth and unnatural while I am making a video call.
Hopefully you can understand me what I want. ?
Thanks for your advice though, but that is not working for me.
I have the same problem please help
