Hello im getting a strange clicking sound on back of the phone, close to camera, im getting it wen i do factory reset and on the first menu it does that, and in Camera app when you change picture to movie and so on... Does any one else experience it?
It`s been reported in a few thread , some camera make the sound and some don't , it might be a different make or firmware version.
It`s just the camera focusing in the camera app, it also happens when you power up the phone, it`s initialising the camera.
Is camera focusing ok, have you tried it with close up object how close can you go.
Just to make sure it`s ok
I also notice that when i tilt device to landscape mode i have to wait about 3-4 sec... i dont think thats normal.

Yes, this was before rooting the device. I rooted it because I hoped to clear the problem. Now I`m with MIUI-NB (last version) and there isn`t a pop up message - just nothing happens....black screen and two buttons....
I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'm experiencing almost the same thing, except I get a camera fail message every time I open the camera. I've posted in other forums here and haven't gotten any help.
Guys I am here to help you lol I had this problem and the answer is clear data and cache for the camera in roottoolbox . And if that didn't work(like me) them your camera is malfunctioned and you need to send it in to Samsung toq get it fixed. I think they are out of vibrant though

I havent tried clearing data or cache. But i installed a replacement camera, and it worked for a day.. then I got the camera fail message. I even flashed back to stock and still no luck.
Same problem. Only fix is banging the camera side on a hard edge a couple times. It removes the camera failed for a bit. Although it can't be good for the phone. Im guessing its a bad connection between the camera module and the computer.

I rooted my phone a few months ago and now, no matter what ROM I flash onto my phone, the front-facing camera doesn't work. Every time I open the camera app and click the button to switch cameras, the camera app closes because for some reason, it's not detecting the FFC. I was thinking about unrooting my phone to see if the FFC camera works when unrooted, but that's a big hassle. Anyone have any other suggestions?
You could try unrooting. There is a new tool in the development section, thunderbolt tools that has everything you need to root and unroot pretty quickly. Maybe try that and see if it works. Do you have a nandroid of stock to flash back to?

I'm gonna sound dumb asking this, but what example do you mean by "nandroid of stock"?
I also forgot to add that my phone is the Thunderbolt.
Camera could also be dead (hardware wise). My back camera is dead, showing only a black screen or force closing no matter the app or the rom I have tried. But the FFC works fine for apps that can start into it automatically (video chat apps).

I hope that's not the case for me. I don't wanna have to replace my phone since I'd have to pay full price now.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone has experience using the Thunderbolt Tools thing they posted in the development page, but I'm trying to use it to unroot my phone and it keeps giving me the same error message. It keeps giving me this when pushing the stock files to my SD card:
"failed to copy 'support_files\unroot\Stock-ROM.zip' to '/sdcard/PG05IMG.zip': Read-only file system"
Anyone know what to do?

Has anyone else encountered or solved this problem? When I try switching to FFC (no matter which app or version of the camera app I use), the camera makes a low clicking noise, then the app closes (no error message, no force-close window -- just closes and I'm back at the home screen). I have tried clearing cache, changing the system date, wiping cache, wiping data, mecha-superwipe, factory reset, different ROMs -- including CM7, Das BAMF, the new BAMF ICS leak. The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is unrooting. Anyone have any ideas -- or does this absolutely sound like a hardware issue?

Hi mate, I'm on stock... And I'm not in silent mode, everything in my sound is max out... I just noticed today that my camera sound is gone as Im not always using the camera. I do't know if this is because of the BLFB Firmware update (currently Im still in BLFB)...

In every operating system you'll find problems noone else seems to have encountered.
Do you mean the recording sound the device emits when going into Camera mode or the audio capture of the video?

Hi mate, I'm referring to shutter sound (The sound when you take a picture)... I like my camera to have shutter sound, I searched the web and everybody is asking how to disable shutter sound of S3 but mine doesn't have sound...
I'm not sure when did this happen but I know that there's a shutter sound when I last used it..
PS: I'm not even rooted mate, all is stock, current firmware is LFB...

The camera sound files are stored inside a system folder on your phone. I was going to say to check to see if the files are there and play them to ensure they aren't corrupt. However, if you are not rooted, you may not be able to access them.
If you reflash your current stock rom or update your rom to the latest version from Samsung, I believe that can fix your problems.

How can it be corrupted mate if I didn't do anything to my phone (Just regular use). Previously I also had a problem with OTA update and I needed to clear the data of Software Update for it to run again.
I'm really starting to believe that this is really a buggy piece of software (Android or maybe TW of Samsung)... Even the Accuweather widget is not auto refreshing if I restarted the phone and I need to clear again the data for it to auto refresh again or run normally.
Sorry I'm just frustrated
After doing everything I could (Except the Factory Reset), my camera shutter sound is still not working.
I tried to Clear the data of camera app, restart the phone, shutdown and reopen the phone, shutdown and remove the battery then reopen the phone, tried to uninstall some apps I recently installed, and still no shutter sound
I'm about to try today the "wipe cache partition" but first I tried again to shutdown and reopen my phone and guess what, now my shutter sound is back!
Only difference is currently I dont have any internet connection on my phone (No Wifi / Mobile data). Weird! :silly:

What the heck are you rooted. It sounds to me that things are getting out of hand. Best install a new rom or reflash.

Everything stock mate... Everything is working fine now... I guess this is a Touchwiz problem or worst this is an android thing. I searched the net and there are others experiencing this using different devices... Maybe this is an android bug, I'm not sure as it hard to replicate this problem and theres no accurate solution... :silly:
Check this if you are rooted
How to enable on/off button for Shutter sound:
Edit /system/csc/feature.xml with text editor of choice.
Add following lines:
<!-- Enable/disable the camera shutter sound -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot, Voila, now you can enable/disable shutter sound from camera menu. (I'm on BLG8)

I'm also having this same problem...
Let me start from the beginning...
I got the phone from Vodafone Portugal. It came with the ICS rom, but right away I updated with the first polish JB rom. Also put root on it.
I'm constantly updating roms, so I tried most new roms that were releasing, mostly unbranded roms, from France, UK, India, etc... I did some dirty flashes but sometimes I flashed from the ground, full wipe...
Also, never used a custom rom for example...
I don't remember when did it happen, but somehow, camera stop making sounds, shutter sound and selection sounds... I also lost the sound setting from camera menu options...
I never, but never modified that aspect. And with a option do enable/disable sound shutter, why would I need to disable sound shutter with another method?!?!
A few weeks ago, I was on XELLA, and I added that camera line on the feature.xml file. No sounds I got...
By the way, the camera sounds are on a folder inside /system/ and they work perfectly , they are not broken
Today, I updated, dirty flash over XELLA, the new vodafone rom XERM2. I was with no hope to get the sounds...
I remember to check feature.xml on the system/csc folder to see if it was there, but the file was removed. I had a couple of modifications (including the line for the shutter sounds). So I restored an old backup that I had from the file. I set permissions and reboot.
I got a half surprise, guess what, I regain the Camera Sound settings from camera menu options.
The bad thing is that I still can't get any shutter or any other sounds from the camera app
Any ideas?!?! Please!!! I want Camera sounds back!!! Need help please!!!
I don't know if anyone notice that after updating to 4.4.4,everything is awesome so far except some issues that i just noticed after updated mine this morning.
One major issue im facing is the reduced sound for notification on messages,emails etc.
Volume is set to max yet the sound of notification is greatly reduced.When i tried playing the tones in the library itself,the volume are just fine.They are reduced when notification is received.
Restarting the phone does not fix it. Anyone else experiencing the same?
One more issue is the lowered frame rate in camera mode. Its not as smoother as before update.It lags just like the camera mode on iphones. I still can take well photos though.
UPDATE : i actually did a factory reset and the camera lag indeed disappear! love the fast focus. Or you can just simply clear the camera data in setting and that should do the trick.
Also regarding the notification sound,try to pick a longer and striking ringtone as they tend to sound louder and noticeable even in reduced volume. Using the tone called Soft Bells which serves enough sound of alert.It solves my problem for now. Overall im happy with this update
You need to do wipe data , install a fresh Rom with factory data reset
it is recommended when update from one android version to another like ( 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 )
hmm is there alternative fix option? because i do not wish to go through the hassles of restoring everything..

Hardly anything about such things can be done when you're not rooted, sorry.
Camera frame rate slow
Yea, I've got the same problem too with the frame rate in the capera app after the update.

Is Factory data reset really solve this notification sound issue?
My Z2 with 0.314 firmware had same issue. and new firmware didn't fix it.
Same issue here before 4.4.4 it was really loud
After the update its really low sound, whats going on here? can anyone just confirm if installing a fresh rom solves this issue casue i dont think everyone in the world is gonna fix the issue by installing rom with flashtool...
My Z2 has had really low notifications from day 1 ive tried every single mod known to man also hoped with each new update SONY would fix it which will never happen as the y wont admit theres a problem
If we cant root 4.4.4 how can we apply this mod ?
Sony DOESN'T need to admit as prior to the 4.4.4 update, nobody was complaining about notification sound.

I rooted 4.4.2, installed xposed and viper4android, I cranked up my volumes and all is well. With headset off, I can lower the volume to the last step and it's still pretty loud. Maybe too loud lol.
Anyway, root is beautiful and viper4android is just a requirement for me since my galaxy s3. Look into it, wait for a rooting method and just mess with those sound options for now.
There might be a patch if it's really that bad still.
I think I'll wait for updating to 4.4.4 Thanks for the heads up.

That is not true. On my .314 driven Z2 the notification sound is lower when I get a message or something(I actually tested the thing many times to see if I was right and I was) than when I play the same notification tone in sound picker in settings with media volume taken to maximum. Call ringtones, on the other hand, they work the same, be it settings or nomal day usage.
So there is problem and do little research before you say something that is not truth because many people complained about that. But we didn't spam Sony with it enough so they don't care.
clear audio +
is clear audio helping out? i mean to say that even if there is no xloud included , is sound louder in clear audio + ?
Those mods are for further enhancement and not a remedy as there isn't any existing notification issue prior to 4.4.4
What do you mean further research? It's a fact that notification sound wasnt an issue for majority of users before 4.4.4, maybe I shouldn't blanket it to everyone and there's a sad 1% who claimed to have notification sound issues.

Well if you can bring it back where you bought it and have it exchanged. If you can't, save everything and try a factory reset. You could also try to flash your phone. Therefore save all you need. Perform a factory reset from your settings menu, download the same ROM that is on your device currently (there are How-TOs in this forum), flash your phone using Odin and set it up. See if it works. If it doesnt work, it looks like a physical failure and you'll have to get it fixed. Shouldn't be too hard/expensive.
