Shutter Sound - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I know if you root your phone you can remove the shutter sound, but is there an app that will work to do this for those of us who don't want to root? I know there are other camera apps that have the option of no sound. But we all know those cameras are not as good as the stock camera. Is there a work around or an app that will work?

There's an option in the stock camera settings to turn the shutter sound off. No root or any other apps required. Just look in the camera settings, you'll find it.

You didn't look very hard. It's not even in a sub menu, just straight under options.

I'm in Sprint and I definitely do not have shutter sound option. The gear icon are the only settings I have

I found the option on my AT&T phone, but it doesn't look like there's an option to turn off sounds when recording video?

You are right. There's definitely no option to turn it off on the Sprint store Version.

I don't have it on my Rogers i747 either.

or Verizon.
how do you do it once rooted?

Root explorer
system/media/audio/ui
Just add .bak to the end of the sound file you don't want to use.

Not rooted tmobile S3 has the option

So it sounds like Sprint and Verizon don't have the option, AT&T and T-Mo do?
Why the heck would Sprint and Verizon request such a change?
Also, is the shutter sound linked to any of the other volumes, such as media volume? Or will it always sound?

Stock att has the option too. But it won't remove the sound on screen shots.

Yes there is an apk file do to it. Let me see if I have it on here. Gimme a second.

Found it. There you go. Just install that to SD card, then go into apps, and click on enforced silencer check it on, and you're good to go.

Let me know if you have any issues. It's what I'm running on my phone.
Better yet hop on root explore and go down to system>build propt mount R/O and change the "0" at the end to "1" and save change and reboot. ro.media.capture.shuttertone=0
I forgot who came up with the tweak but not I.

I recommend this more than the custom apk. This method is built-in and in case for some reason you want the sound back, the option is just a checkmark away.
The apk is also just a check mark.

If you're rooted all you have to do is use Root Explorer and go into:
/system/media/audio/ui
Change the name of "CameraClick.ogg" to "CameraClick.bak"
You can do the same for the video record sound...simple.

Yes, but doing the build.prop mod allows the toggle to be done from within the camera app which makes it much easier to toggle, as opposed to having to switch to another app.
No need to install anything. The easiest solution is usually always the best.
Yes. I didn't know you could do it from the app. Though easiest isn't always best.

No problem.
I'm trying to delete the file and it keeps saying it's read only iv'e tried changing the permissions and also the r\w on top no dice, lol what am i doing wrong
I just use Root Explorer and go to System/Media/UI then rename the Camera_Click.ogg to Camera_Clik.ogg just changing a single letter works and you can always restore it if wanted.
(You have to be Rooted)

Good method but I think it is better that in case you change your mind later.. just rename the sound file.
That and the camcorder sound can be renamed to so no one knows when ur playing spy while recording that girl you like LOL..
it's possible to go into the framework (i believe) and just change the value of shutter sound from a 0 to a 1. reboot the phone and you will have the option in the camera menu to turn the shutter sound off and on. much better way. you will have to remember to set it back to 0 though before trying to take any update from motorola.
No root required to shut off sound. Google Enforced stream silencer.

i used to use that but i like having the option. my kid likes the shutter sound when i take a picture of him. when he's sleeping i turn the shutter sound off so he doesn't wake up.
i was also having reboot problems with my first photon and if i had that enforcer program the start up "noise" wouldn't happen so i would know if my phone was starting to freak out.

Be very careful with that as it is illegal in many places to silence the camera sound.

Also, if you have root, you can go to /system/media/audio/ui and rename camera_click.ogg and camera_click_short.ogg to something else (I add .bak to them). This will disable the click in both silent/non-silent sound profiles.
Um, open the camera, click the settings icon, and scroll down where it says shutter sound? Turn it off. Done.

As another option to changing the name of the sound file and if you're rooted, in the Sprint Developers forum there's a configuration line you can add to edit the camera features so that Verizon S3's can get back that 'shutter sound option' check it out:

Method 1:
Using Root Explorer or something similar browse to system\media\audio\ui and rename Shutter.ogg and Shutter_multiple.ogg to whatever you want or just add a .bak extension to both files.

I just put my phone to silent mode using the volume icon in the notifications bar. No sound when I shoot. I expect that will be patched.

Yes you have to delete the file "camera_click.ogg" from system/media/audio/ui
Use ROOT explorer or ES File explorer or any app that allows you to access and edit root directory.
Back it up before you delete it maybe you will miss it later on
Thanks, will have to see if I can remove it from connecting the phone to my machine since Im not rooted

You need to be rooted to modify anything on /system/, from your comp or phone. and AFAIK stock Sense doesn't have the option to remove the sound, as that is illegal in some/most states.

You can either do one of two things. Unpack the camera.apk, remove the file, then repack it and place it back, or install the cam mod in the theme section.
Go to Camera, press Menu, go to Camera Interface, disable shutter sound.

That's not an option for many people who are not rooted, and some ROMs don't have it baked in.
The camera didn't make any sound if your media volume is all the way down.

Works like a charm. just restart phone after you delete the file.
working fix
I have removed all camera sounds. What I did was, take the default camera app off my phone, take it to my computer and delete all sounds from the camera app. then i pasted it back into the directory where my default camera app was (/system/app/)
here is a link to download the apk that i am using and i know it for sure works. I uploaded this my self.
go to 4shared(DOT)com/android/iLOgPWzv/HTCCamera.html?
**REMOVE PARENTHESIS AND CHANGE "DOT" TO A PERIOD. I cant post links yet, but that is a working link.**

Camera shutter

I've looked to disable the camera shutter sound.
Tried to rename the ogg in media/ui -> still sound.
Tried to change in build.prop -> havn't find the option.
Can someone help me ?
It must be not so easy. For some legal reassons in some countries. Its ilegal to shot (on pic) someone if they dont know to be shoten. The shooter sound inform everyone around and make the pic legal.
before entering camera make sure your phone is on silent
Right. If it's on vibrate you will not hear it.
