Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the camera shutter sound? I was unable to find it in the camera app settings (thank god, since that means it wouldn't save anyway...), and I didn't see it by going through Settings>Camera. Anyone have any luck trying to turn this sound off?
I don't think it's possible right now and may never be officially since there are laws in many countries that mandate audible clicks while taking pictures. Once hacked, there may be a possibility.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's looking for a solution. It's very loud and disruptive when I'm trying to catch my dogs playing or sneak a pic of my wife doing something silly. I really hope somebody finds a solution for this soon.
Hello, i just bought my focus yesterday and just found out if you lower the volume all the way to zero it doesnt have a shutter sound. Hope that helps, its not a good solution but something.

Thanks for your reports.

OK so i was intrigued that people got to do it but i couldn't........so i restarted the phone and I was able to do it dont know why sometimes it makes the sound and why some times it dosent.........microsoft has problems with sound for a wile....so maybe they will fix this soon.....I will keep testing to see what program makes it go erratic
this worked for me
Hey everybody, I've been trying to get around the issue for a while myself and found this: karnicki.eu/?p=10 for the omnia7. It did the trick for me and whenever I set the phone to silent the shutter stays in STFU mode! I fiddled with the sound settings before but it might be something magical about the 1000/-1000 combo. Please test and confirm.
Pause song, turn volume all the way down
Simple "Fix" is to start a song in zune, then to pause said song and to also turn down the volume to zero (0). This keeps the shutter from playing but only as long as you have a paused song in zune.
once there is a file manager hack for the phone, you should be able to just delete the sound file for that one specific sound. Thats what i did on my iphone along w/ the stupid SMS sent sound.
Put the volume all the way down to Zero, turn it off, turn it on, then it should be gone. It worked for me

So, I'm experiencing what everybody else is with this ROM. That initial volume level starts out soft and gradually increases to the max that I have it set to. Some have stated they like this and that's fine. But, I HATE it :evil: . I can never hear my phone ring anymore if it's in my pocket. Has anybody found a possible registry key or setting somewhere to turn this off?
And if any AT&T folks are listening.. I'd like a setting in the volume area to turn this off or on.
Phone Profile
Have you check under phone profiles... Ascending Ring change to Standard Ring
Dustoff
I don't have a phone profile, or i should say i don't see any where for that option. In the phone settings area the Ring Type is set for Ring. There is an option for "Increasing Ring" but that's even worse than it is already. I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
Since the WM2003 upgrade on my SX56, 've noticed issues with the speakerphone volume. I can barely hear it in fact. Any thoughts on this one?
Fiddled around with the volume setting, moved it up and down, and the now the volume issue seems resolved. Can't say for sure if that's what resolved it, but it's fine now.
I'm experiencing the same problem with the AT&T rom.. I'm going to take a look around in the registry later on... before I go installing any apps
Well I have taken a look @ the processes running and can't see anything obvious that would be doing the volume thing..
So I have had a poke about in the registry and have found a section with sound profiles and it has an attenuation property, I have tried adjusting this, and deleting it but still no good
Also there is an entry in the registry called Hack and mentioned Vol in the string... but it didn't make any difference when I deleted that either :roll:
If anyone thats a bit more acomplished than myself with the PPC Phone could take a look and find a solution to this, i'm sure many users would appreciated it
Has anyone figured out how to make the volume level constant yet?
Any solutions to get the volume working well on A.30.09 ENG yet?
Nope. I just put my phone volume on next to the top setting and the system volume two levels below it. Works fine then. As long as the system volume is two levels below it will not graduate the sound.

On to your problem, I have not seen anything wrong with my phone.
can run a test if its only with me or every hav the same problem
Ok go to phone app and press any Number key(it makes a tone) and then right away bring the phone speaker close to your ear for 10 secs and see if u hear any other sound other then the keytone. thanks and let me know the result, thanks a AALLOTTT,

Followed your instructions and "nope" no sound........
Its normal behaviour: turn your volume up all the way, trigger any sound. Then if you have good ears you can hear static at very low volume for about a second. Then the powermanagement cuts power to the amplifier and the phone goes completely silent again.
PS: Same behavior on my desktop PC running Fedora 12. You only hear the static from the soundcard if it suddenly stops ;-)
This is perfectly normal, when the hissing stops, thats the speaker turning off to save power, most other things with speakers do the same thing, it's not worth returning your beautiful Nexus One just for that...
EDIT: sorry, just noticed Volker1's post,
Yeah, I have the same thing, but as others said, it's normal behaviour.
Maybe the amplifier for the speaker is a bit noisier on this phone than some others, hence you can hear it before it gets switched off (might also explain the awful quality of the speaker phone experience)?
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...

Possibility exists with HTC to eliminate the sound of the camera shutter!

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

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.
So, it seems I have finally found out how to adjust the microphone volume on the phone.
I have posted the instructions on my blog. If you try the solution it please respond if it works or not.
This might be veey interesting. I changed 88 to 100 but will only be able to talk to someone tomorrow.
From personal experience both sgs ans sgs2 have low treble input sent to peer. Ots annoying.
Posted from Galaxy S II
tried, we will see...
Interesting, there's an option for speaker receive volume too...
I tried it but it didn't work on audio recording (Hi-Q MP3 Recorder).
There is some way to adjust mic volume of voice recording?, My old SGS recordings were a lot louder than on my new SGSII.
Great thank you so much for the post. It helped me out.

MY SGS2 DOES NOT HAVE THIS VOLUME ISSUE! PEOPLE HEAR ME VERY WELL, SOMETIMES THEY ACTUALLY LOWER THE VOLUME IT IS SO LOUD!!!
Seriously, how much better does it get? I am not in a noise free environment at the moment, how big of a gain does this produce? Does this fix work with the genuine wired headphones?
i thought this fix was temporary only, after a phone reboot the fix resets to default ?

I must admit...in all the smartphone that i have ever used.....This is the only phone that i have never rebooted except when flashing roms/kernels etc...
I never reboot! I did today, because I wanted to calibrate the battery for the first time and I let it die. So I let it die after 24 hours of use, and then when it turned on it rebooted
I love my phone

It works but sadly as others have already mentioned, after a reboot, you have to re enter the settings, which is the only draw back, and am one of those who reboots the phone on a daily. Is there any way of making this permanent even following a reboot?. I can imagine its probably difficult, but thought I'd ask anywhere. Thanks op.
I'm actually looking for a way to lower the input gain, as my voice comes out distorted on the other side. Any clues? Besides the obvious "Turn 88 into something lower, I tried 70 and didn't work"
I don't know how the values can be saved so that they survive a restart. Personally I only restart my phone when it runs out of battery, or if I've done flashing that requries a reboot. If I need to disconnect from the real world airplane mode is used.
So, has anyone had any luck using this method? Seems to work for me.

That's quite the opposite problem Other than what you tried I have no idea. Sounds like a faulty device?

Actually, I tried 20 yesterday, and it did solve my problem!
Now sound is crisp and undistorted!
The question is,
1. How to make it stick reboot.
2. What do the rest of the volumes do? Vol0_1 0_2 0_3 etc, you suggested to edit number 5. Why specifically that one?
1. Still a mystery
2. My guess is that there are certain levels of output, and that all of them should be adjusted according to the other to have a linear line. The fact that I wrote that only 5 should be edited was simply because that worked for me.
First, great thanks hpe !!
I got my phone 2 days ago and got same problem.
ppl could not hear me well.
I tried your solution, hope it will help (tried 1-2 calls and seems ok).
I have noticed also that when you talk you should be
stable with your hand and your face , I mean,
it should be with fix distance between the mouth and phone, not important the distance but it should be stable during the call, if not the AGC comes up and down and the other side can't hear you well...
About save setting,
Maybe there is ini file or something (rooted phone) that can be changed to keep value after reboot, I have noticed in the 2 days I have the phone that I had to reboot phone after install application to get it works well.
I've follow the hpe solution but i still have volume problem
My specific problem is:
On Normal Mic call > very low volume... on my SGS2 with android 2.3.3
But with Speaker call > clear (no problem)
Very strange!! I can't be able to solve this problem.
I'd like to precise that with other voip app like bria or "csip simple" i have no problem, mic volume is perfect..

Speaker call uses different mic settings (since you've a higher distance between your mouth and the mic while using speaker), so it might just the "normal mic call" volume setting which fails.
I have understand and many thanks for your reply but it's strange that those settings works perfectly with the other voip applications..
Okay, I did a little searching on XDA, and found that the only way to remove the shutter noise and video record beep was to unlock and use an explorer to delete the .wav files... Is there an alternative to doing so? I am currently on NoDo, and I'd prefer to stay on it if possible.
On a side note, is this fixed for the Mango update? There are a few issues I'm looking forward to them fixing. I hope this is one of them. I heard it's supposed be a manufacturer's decision to add the beep, but Mango should still offer that option.

Touch volume up/down, than the "ring" icon on the upper right half. It will turn to "vibrate". For pictures/videos I had no sound in NoDo and don't have in Mango using this. "Restore" back after photos

I heard of that method, too. But when I change my ringer to vibrate or turn my sound down all the way, the shutter still comes up.
In any release prior to Mango, the only guaranteed way to defeat the shutter sound (without hacking) is to start playing a song in the Zune player, pause it, and then turn the volume all the way down on the phone. Anything else seems to have mixed results, but that method always works.
In Mango (not sure about the beta) there will be an option to turn off the sound.

That actually worked, thanks. I tried it with loading a video instead, and it also worked. Unnecessarily tedious, but at least now I know I can turn off the shutter sound temporarily.
I'm surprised there isn't a camera app yet with this feature.
I just updated to Mango with a dev account about an hour ago. There's a dedicated on/off check box in ringers and sounds now.

You want the shutter sound to be off, right? The Mango has an option just for that. Leaves other sounds on, shuts the shutter sound off.
