No muting yet. I went through the manual too. I even tried muting the sounds (in general) and it still noisy. I guess another thing still in the works.

Nope: in most countries it's prohibited to have NO shutter-sound!

So: this won't be implemented in future updates!

Really? I didn't know that.

Sprint did the same thing with their phones. I read it hasn't passed congress yet (this was a year or two ago, haven't done research since), but Sprint was the only carrier at the time pushing camera sounds to all users. They however couldn't make changes to the iPhone so they did not push this change to them.

I'm betting we will need to wait until someone roots the watch until the sound will be removed...

That's not true, put your phone on vibrate or silent and take a picture. You can also disable to sound on certain carriers like T-Mobile.

I remember on the s2 you couldn't turn shutter off but later we got an update to do it. Hopefully we get one cuz shutter is loud. Or hopefully someone roots this gear 2 and I'm sure we will be able to do that.

Read it just fine sir, no offence intended. This, however, isn't true in my experience, even still, it definitely doesn't mean it won't be included as a future update.

First line, no, maybe some countries...if such a law. But easy fix, install other camera software that can disable shutter sound. Also already built into Android camera.

Second line, probably true like the first Galaxy Gear. But hopefully there'll be a mod for it like on the first.

I hope this is addressed shortly. I need to be able to take pictures of lecture notes on the board (and the professor doesn't mind, so long as it is silent), however with the shutter sound, I can't, as it would be seen as a disruption. If I start taking pictures with this thing, I would most definitely be asked to leave.

I must say that Tizen was a very poor choice on Samsung's part. No apps exist (can't so much as use Twitter), and we can't do anything. It's quite frustrating.

I tried to compile the camera sample app in the Tizen wearable SDK.
unfortunately, I couldn't compile.
has anyone else tried that.
(well maybe if we can compile, we can remove the shutter sound from that app)

Yeah, really need the ability to turn off the shutter sound. I tunred all shutter sound off on all my devices. At least the ability to low the sound.

I have finally built the app but when I try to install with sdb.exe I get an error.
anyone else who can try ?

If you root the Gear 2, there is an easier way of disabling Camera sounds:

http://www.tizenexperts.com/2014/06/hack-tizen-samsung-gear-2-gear-2-neo-get-root-access/

Rooting:

Instructions
Here are some instructions on how to Load into Odin and flash your device with the downloaded firmware

Download Odin 3.09, and extract it to its own folder
Download the rootfs.img file from the above links
Put your Gear 2 device into download mode
Launch Odin
Connect Smart watch to your PC
Make sure the settings are the default ones ie Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time selected
Select the AP Button
Navigate to where you downloaded the file and select it
Click on Start
Wait for it to finish.
In order to activate root you need the sdb.exe from Tizen-SDK, or equivalent file depending on your OS.

Disable camera sounds

sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/
sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak
sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /
