i don't want shutter sound while taking pics
even in silent mode i can hear that sound
any other way to disable it
reducing volume to 0 works for me
another way would be by editing the registry.

? What should I edit?
Find Windows\camerashutter_mirage.wav or shutter.wav and replace the empty .wav
That's the first thing I tried. Searching registry for these strings doesn't yield any results. The files themselves sit in \Windows, but I can't delete or replace them.
Which software did you use?
Why would you want to take pictures with no sutter sound? I remember some one asking this before and was told the shutter sound is to stop people taking picture of people with out them knowing. It made me laugh too but you never know.
I personally want to remove it because it sounds at the wrong time, messing up my pictures of people.
If it worked properly, I'd certainly leave it. Don't know about the others. You can't disable it on the iPhone IIRC, but nobody complains.
Try putting you finger over the speaker as it very easy to mute the sound like this and does not get in the way on the lense, just tried it for you and it kinda work. Its not the best fix but you never know it may help.
I only got my Mozart last week but turning the phone volume to "0" silences the camera...
Turning the volume all the way down works for me as well, but it's an awkward workaround - it doesn't work in the camera application itself, I have to do it beforehand, and it takes too much time.
There is a reg hack available for this.

Hi!
My phone doesn't ring anymore, it won't even vibrate!
It all started when I set PocketMusic as the default player for WMA files. This made the phone stop ringing, and when I checked in settings the ringtone was set to WindowsDefault instead of my usual OldPhone. I tried resetting the ringtone to OldPhone, but when I clicked ok it was automatically reset to WindowsDefault again. This happened for all of the WMA ringtones. They also did not play when you tested them in settings. I removed the association from PocketMusic, which made the ringtones play from the settings screen. But they still don't work when there´s an incoming call. The thing is just quiet.
If anyone has any kind of idea, please help me. The phone is on 4.00.11, I've tried soft resetting but that didn't help. There's probably a registry setting that's messed up, but which one?
Thanx!

This sounds slightly similar to a problem I had with Pocket PC 2002 - look for a post named "Cursed by BellDitty". It was a registry key that wasn't written correctly.
Well did ya think to just hard reboot the phone? That will put everything back to original specs.
Just back up any data you need and turn the thing off and back on.

Yeah, I read that thread and fooled around a bit with the reg keys in ringtone0. Didn't help though. The strange thing is that ringpreview is working just fine, but ring is not. Could you post a copy of the keys and values in ring, ringpreview and ringtone0 so I can see what a healthy device should look like?
Thanx!

I'd prefer to find out what's causing the problem and fix it. If I haven't solved it before the weekend I'll probably do a hard reboot. Don't like all of my installed progs dissappearing though, so I'll probably end up cooking myself a new rom as well to fit my most used applications into rom.

RegDump
Here is a reg. dump of my XDA when it ran 2002, I checked the registry of 2003 and it looks the same:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="DefaultRing .wav"
"Script"="apw3r"
"SavedSound"="DefaultRing .wav"
"Category"="Ring"
Hope that helps.
Thanks everyone for your support.
I finally decided to go for the hard-reset, nothing else seemed to help.

i had this same porblem after installing pocketmusic 1.3 bundeld.
It played the mp3 when clicked on them.
O2 plus played them tru pocketmusic, still it didn't work.
When tested at settigns/phone/ play it didn't work.
I removed the assoisition in pocket music(for mp3.wmv) now it works.

Yes, Betaplayer did the same, as well as an older version of Conduits' Music player.
You must just make sure that these files do not have the default association for wma or wav, they do not play nicely with the Phone Edition somehow.
(But Betaplayer is still the bestest video player for the Pocket PC!!)
THANKYOU THANKYOU!
Have been tearing my hair out over this one and dredding a hard reset.
I really don't have uber high demands for my phones, I just expect them to work and fill my what I believe to be simple needs. I'm hoping that I can list some of my issues and possibly get some positive feedback to help weed through issues, not only for me but for other users. I know this phone has a lot of passionate followers, I can definitely say, I'm not one of them.
I don't mind rooting at all, but cannot lose 4g capabilities. I know I've seen some locked OSs, any suggestions would be appreciated. I also bought this phone based on my ideals behind Tegra and the SIM slot as I'll be doing some world travel within the next few months. Now to some issues I've had...
Default Music player - efing sucks. If there isn't a good 30secs of lag loading media from the external SD card, the damn thing crashes after 3-4 songs. I fully understand that rooting will get through this issue with a different (hopefully android default) media player. But I'm struggling to find why this is an issue outside of poor development. Have about 8GB worth of music on either a 16gb or 32gb SD card. Wipe Dvcache and NO PROBLEMS with same memory card.
Camera - Can't shut off shutter sound? What the hell were Motorola software techs thinking? Yes the camera is very good, but what the fizzle? I ironically heavily considered this phone over the GS2 because of the dedicated camera button. Only to be frustrated thanks to the inability to take ninja photos.
Multi-Touch - I had issues with multi point touching. Multidev gave some direction here, which if I root my phone later today, I'll definitely go in this direction.
BT Media Stream - Specifically with the Sync in Ford vehicles. I've used it in both a 2011 Focus (sync 3.0) and my 2011 Mustang (sync 2.0) and repeated the same issue detailed in this thread. Completely drives me up the wall, as I have not had this issue with any of the roms I ran previously on my Evo4g. Everything else works well with Sync, including making and receiving calls and text/email notification.
I'm sure there's been a few more issues that I've had slip my mind. But, I guess I'm really just hoping that I can use the benefits of this phone without continuing to 'deal with' the shortcomings of owning a handset that isn't going to sell 500k units and get the kind of manufacturer and homebrew software support of a phone that has sold 500k units.
Thanks
i use google music app, not the moto one and i love it.. ive had NO issues with it what so ever.. and it is THE default android player
camera is annoying but you are required to be rooted to remove it.. dunno if anyone has or not tho. any third party app should still work with the button etc etc
as for bluetooth.. no idea again may be solved by removing the current music app and putting googlemusic on there (use titanium backup to remove the moto music player )
Thanks for the response Shabby.
So either way, I'd be better off rooting and removing the music player and camera apps?
I guess the only other thing I'm looking for in a rom is just general speed. The phone flys when it comes to opening programs and program performance, but the general speed of menu access and transitioning from one base mode to the next leaves a lot to be desired. Just getting in and out of text messages takes just too damn long.
First of all, the Photon is a great phone, when it works properly.
I have had wayyy more issues than you with it, and trust me, sometime I just completely hate the F&@^(*$ Mother [email protected]%[email protected] This phone can be a dumb @$$ son of a B!^@%. When it works it is awesome.
I have been through about 5 replacement Photon's and need to replace it again after the holidays, (Motorola has finally fixed the problem with it officially, YAY!) Now, you shouldn't be complaining compared to what I have been through.
But, I understand where you are comming from.
I have not had a stable music player, other than Rhapsody, that didn't crash or force close on me, including, Music, Google Music, Honeycomb Music, & Player Pro.
I personally hate the Rhapsody interface and I am forced to deal with it.
Camera Shutter Issue,
Root Required - Download Root Explorer via Market or find other means of getting it. PM me if you want to know how you can get it in other ways.
Go to
System/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer.
First copy and save to it to sd first incase you want it back cause delete is permanent.
Set system to rw then delete
Delete camera sound ogg.
Then you are all set. Or don't root and use the following application: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/443424#443424
(Sorry, the Motorola forums are currently down, they hope to get back up by the end of this week.) But, check later on this or next week. (NOW YOU CAN TAKE NINJA PHOTOS) But remember, there is not current way to disable the auto focus double beep, if someone finds a way, please comment below, and I may edit this post.
Bluetooth car issue, you should experiment with different Music Player applications.
Hope I've helped! Be sure to click the "Thanks" button if I did, it lets other users know that I am helpful.
MultiTouch - follow the directions that you posted

There's another way to disable the camera sound on the phone here: Enable sound settings in stock camera app - root required
Also, what's the problem with the phone that they're finally fixing?
I wasn't aware of the Multi touch problem, and I have ran into my touch screen locking problem yesterday while playing Mario Kart 64 yesterday.
I backed up my touch screen folder, and replaced it with the 8 multi touch files.
That is a deal breaker, but I'm glad to have the solution.
Edit: I tried Mario Kart again, but the touch screen continues to lock up after holding down "A" for a bit (to accelerate). Did Motorola lock how long you can press down on the screen?
Yes, I tried the multi touch app and they register all 8 touches.

dont hate me on this.
i've googled 4 hours, read and tried numerous methods but cant find a working method.
previous suggested method for gingerbread does not work, such as
-making a build.prob file in \data\ did not work.
-use root explorer to go \system\media\audio\ui and delete all camera related ogg files
other suggestion includes using "ics camera", app, this sorta works, but i very much prefer to use the stock one.
another suggestion is to use paid app "tasker", to auto set silent mode when camera is running, works, but i hate having an uncessary background process constantly running. :-(
any really working known fix for this?
right now i am using litening rom 2.5 that is ics.
the shutter sound is off by default, the sound that remains is the focusing sound.
please please if anyone have any idea how to shut the camera sound, please share it with everyone here.
PS: ics, not gingerbread method.
seen in galaxy nexus forums, turning down the media volume will mute the camera completely.
but why this not work for s2...sad...
I am new to my rezound. My rezound is about less than a week old. Is there any way to increase the vollume on this device for the ringtone and notifications like when you receive a text or email? If its in my pocket and im driving somewhere forget it. I wont hear it. The vibration motor isnt stong too compared to my old droid 2. I love this rezound phone. But i am not happy with the voullume sounds. I tried to do some digging and read that its because of the ice cream sandwich software download. it wasnt like this with gingerbread? If not can I go back to gb. I dont know what advantages ics does over gb. but if im in another room than my phone is at home i wont hear it. I dont think there are apps to my knowledge that increase ringtone and notifications. I appreciate any help on this matter. Cause I am still trying to figure this one out. Thanks for your help.
S-off your phone and you can go back to GB if you want and also you might want to try Newts rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501512 when I tried it, volumes were super loud with it.

I am a little confused on what u said. I appreciate ur help though. I am a newb with the software thing part of the phone. Can you please explain to me step by step what I have to do? I don't mind going back to gb or doing what ever you had when your phone was super loud. Thanks again.
Not really much you can do unless your phone is actually broken (in which case get a new one). Maybe make a louder ringtone?
Try these ideas:
Go to Settings --> Sound, General --> Volumes --> verify that your 'Ringtone & notifications' is turned up to the volume you desire. Call yourself from another phone to test the volume setting. If this is already set to 'max' and you're still unhappy with the volume level, try the next suggestion.
Go to Settings --> Sound --> Incoming Calls, Pocket mode --> check the box (doing so will increase the ringer volume while your phone is in your pocket or handbag). If you've already tried this suggestion, try the next one.
If that doesn't work, change your ringtone to one that's loud and high pitched. The higher pitched ring tones 'sound' louder because you can hear them over the background noise of say, a car, or a shopping center.
Do you have problems hearing people when you're on a phone call? If not, then your speaker is ok and your issue is more than likely, the ringtone itself. Some ringtones are barely audible. I've tried a few that I really liked, but some of them were nearly impossible to hear - ever. The ringtone I use now is called Standard 3 on my phone. I've collected ringtones from each of my phones over time so I've added a bunch. You might not have the same one. For me, Standard 3 is super loud and I have to remember to turn my phone ringer down when I go into a restaurant or quiet store. It sometimes scares the bejeebies outta me! Lol!
I'm using stock ICS and there's nothing wrong with the volume on my phone so it's unlikely that the ROM is the problem on yours. Try different ringtones and you might find one that's interesting and loud. Zedge is an app you can load from the Android Market and you can download tons of free ringtones, wallpapers and other cool stuff. I'm sure you can find something there that you'd like.
Good luck!
I haven't seen this issue being highlighted yet, but it's really annoying for someone who uses WhatsApp and Instagram frequently.
Basically, the shutter sound when taking photos using the in-app camera for both apps can't be turned off. I have tried muting my entire phone and even using DND mode but the shutter sound is still there. The miui camera app doesn't have this issue. I even tried Snapchat and Facebook Messenger and the shutter sounds are muted when my phone is on silent.
I've searched around and a lot of people have this issue but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut fix. Rooting and removing the sound files seems to be the only way right now but even then, there isn't a proper guide or method out there. I currently don't intend to root my phone but there doesn't seem to be a proper fix in the works.
Can anyone see if this problem still persists on MIUI 10 Beta ROM? And is there a proper fix or do I have to live with it?
