Need help eliminating camera sound. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my GS2 sort of INISISTS on making noise when I use the camera. I have no option for disabling it in the menu... and it still has a sound when I'm in silent mode.
So I went into the system files and renamed every file that seemed related to the camera. That stopped the shutter noise... but there's still this beep before the shutter, and I've already renamed all the files, and I can't stop the beep.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] abnormal sound with camera after GB!!

Hi everybody
After complete the ota update, I observed that when take a pic there is abnormal sound not like on the 1.83v.
Is there any idea about this issue?
Thank you
Not sure about the abnormal sound you hear.
All I got was the normal shutter sound. If you don't like it, you can go to the camera, then hit menu, and go to settings and uncheck Shutter tone.
Thank you Zero
Now even check or uncheck there is no sound
I don't no why???
It happens after GB update
I can't remember if it relys on your sound too? Did you try with your volume up or down to see if that made a difference?
Maybe try with ringer, media and alarm volume?
Just throwing ideas out there for ya
I am experiencing the same problem. After the GB upgrade the shutter sound changed. Is there a way to CHANGE the sound rather then disabling it? I am rooted.
**Bump**
Same here. I had sounds at one time, turned them off, and now can't get them back. Of course I've re-enabled the sounds, rebooted, battery removed etc. Shutter sound is gone :-(

Silent Camera - no sounds at all

Please tell me guys, what file I need to remove to have the camera sound silent (in picture mode) Although I remove all the files in system/media/audio/ui there is still one sound ON when I take a picture (no sound when using video recording though)
I think it is the sound of focus.
All the sounds to remove/rename are in /system/media/audio/UI. Failing that, Camera ICS+ has an option for perv mode. I mean complete silence.

Turn off all camera/camcorder sounds?

I have moved all of the .ogg files from the system/media/ui folder related to the camera but the camcorder focus sound still persists.
So far I have moved (to my SdCard for safe keeping):
Auto_focus.ogg
Auto_focus_error.ogg
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_click_short.ogg
Camera_empty.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
Camera_timer.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
Is there a sound in some other folder I'm missing? the focus sound doesn't play on the camera, only the camcorder.
Anybody?
go to your camera settings and turn your shutter sound off. Auto focus makes no noise and camera pictures doesn't either.
Edit: I see what you mean about the video focus making the noise. You can turn your volume down and itll stop making the noise.
I don't have a setting for turning the shutter sound off. I don't have a shutter sound anyway. I disabled it. But the focus sound is still on. I can't find the sound file.
Must be a feature on JB11. It turns off the camera but the video still makes the noise.
When I set my phone to vibrate the video focus stops making the noise.

[Q] how to turn off camera focus sound

I tried renaming following sound files from /system/media/audio/ui
camera_click.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
I could disable shutter/video-record sound.
But focus sound just before the shutter is not disabled.
If you can could you tell me how to disable it?
Regards,

For me the shutter sound toggle doubles as a focus sound toggle so when I disable shutter sound, the focus is also silenced. But in some countries mobile devices are not allowed to take pictures in complete silence because of privacy regulations, so the shutter sound at least remains. Does it still make the shutter sound if you put the tablet in silent mode?

Thank you for your reply.
Even if the silent mode, focus sound sounds.
I consider that the sound files is embedded in the camera apk like following device.

But this thread is for Samsung Galaxy Note 3,
I don't understand how to tweak for this tablet.
If the renaming method is not possible, you can use a workaround via the app "Tasker" (an invaluable tool anyway).
In Tasker you can make a profile that says "If the camera app is open, set device audio to 'Silent' (or 'Vibrate only')".

But he said that silent mode doesn't affect the fucos sound.
Can't be. When I put my tablet into silent mode via volume rocker (in the status bar the "vibration only" symbol appears), the camera remains absolutely silent.

Is your stock camera app also completely silent (no focus beep either) when the tablet volume is on, but shutter sound turned off in camera settings?
Yes, when I set shutter sound to "off" (seems to reset automatically to "on" when leaving camera app...) the camera is absolutely silent.

Well that option doesn't mute the focus sound for the OP, so that means he lives in one of those countries where mobile devices not allowed to photos silently (or he doesn't live in one of those countries but his tablet was made for use in them), so then indeed, putting the device in silent mode does not mute the camera.
I have the same problem, just traveling in Japan in a Japanese SIM card and i still have the focus sound after renamed the shutter ogg, anyone can fix this?

Question Shutter noise gone

The shutter sound suddenly disappeared, so I have no feedback whether it worked or not, short of going to the gallery and checking.
Since it's a new phone I've been tinkering with it a lot and must have pushed the wrong button somewhere along the line.
Do not disturb is off. Setting "Camera Sounds" is on.
Any ideas?
Thanks
