[Q] How to turn off Camera shutter sound?

AllGamer · Jan 19, 2011

Has anyone found a Camera app that is compatible with XT720 ?

or know of a way to disabling the stock Camera shutter sound ?

many of the apps that works fine (on/off sound) on my other phones it doesn't seem to work on the XT720

it seems to completely ignore if you have the shutter sound off, even on camera apps that provide that option.

I just plugged-in my earphone, so the sound is redirected to the earphone instead of the camera speaker.

... that's the fastest way to do.

go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and look for cameraXXXX.ogg and either rename it or cut and paste it somewhere else. no more click

holly ****! "silent mode" does not work...

khalpowers · Jan 20, 2011

go to adb shell...
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old
mv /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg.old
exit

done...so eazy ...huh!

ps/ no need the the rubbish app...xt720 cannot be mute by app or silent button..

Good idea but the files are write protected. Can't rename, delete or move. Anything can be done about this?

You can try using root explorer to delete/rename the files. Or install terminal emulator to type the commands written by khalpowers:
su
...
exit

Master solution. Refer to youtube: "adb shell" if you're a noob.

Just use root explorer to rename the extension from .ogg to .bak. then the sound will be gone.

u can do what khalpowers suggested in terminal emulator app after typing "su" for superuser permisions. no adb for me.

shutter sound is easy to remove, but has anyone found a way to remove the focus noise? (its a beep-beep noise)

Just flash one of the custom ROM.

Long way to go when all you have to do is change your camera sound from .oog to .bak in /system/media/audio/ui/

Plus if you remove it and then decide to sell your phone or have to turn it back in, you have to find that file again. This way all you have to do to turn it back on is change it back from .bak to .oog and viola, it is back.

Far far easier just to do that. Don't need adb, don't need to flash another rom. Just make sure in Root Explorer you are RW and not RO.

That's what I just said... and its .ogg not .oog. and lol installing a custom ROM might not necessarily remove the shutter sound.

Hard Answer:

Post #6

http://androidforums.com/droid-x-su...how-do-you-turn-off-shutter-sound-camera.html

And then they direct you to

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...62081-silence-camera-sounds-3.html#post677444

And then the link inside is to android.git.kernel.org and I think that may still be down.

Easy Answer:

Turn your sound to silent.

Thanks for it.
Sometimes things can be that easy....
