[Q]Mute dock/undocking sound? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Does anyone know how to mute the sound the phone makes when docking and undocking in magnetic dock?
Loud as hell and kind of annoying.
Thanks!

If you can't find any option to turn it off. You can remove the .ogg file with RootExplorer
I did that on my other devices a few years ago to get rid of a round I didn't like
Don't take this for granted as Im on a custom rom but the file or files to remove is
/system/media/audio/UI/Dock.ogg and /system/media/audio/UI/Undock.ogg

download Sony Smart connect off the playstore.
When you insert headphones, link bluetooth or connect to dock it will open and prompt what you want to do.
You can make an app open when you place on a dock, or sounds etc...

Huh, mine doesn't make a beep, and it has never done it either. Just checked it just in case with the volume on, and it doesn't make any sound. I haven't deleted anything that should disable it and I can't remember unticking anything. Hmmm...

I did not have it in .510 but since .257 it's there. I'm on stock.

Hi i have the exact opposite problem, i lost the docking sound, don't know when, maybe after updating to 4.3 ? can't remember
I want that dock sound, the audio files Superuser mentioned above are still there but i can't find any option to enable them again.
Thanks

[Q] How to disable camera shutter sound?

Is it possible to disable the camera shutter sound on the SGS2? It's very loud and kind of annoying.
I'm going to a wedding at the weekend and it would be nice to be able to take pictures without pissing off the entire church.
Put the phone in silent mode when using the camera that should do the trick without any trickery
Silent mode doesn't make any difference, it's still the same.
Anyone know if there's a good camera app without shutter sound I can use instead?
Even when i have it on silent mode, it still makes the shutter sound
There is no setting to disable it in camera settings anymore?
You could do it on SGS...
Try turning media volume down
You need root
Go to /system/media/ui/
Then delete the files got to do with the camera including the shutter

Yup, someone wanna chuck us the camera apk? Should be possible to fix it that way..
Or, as someone said, try renaming the sound file in media to whatever.ogg.OLD
I think all UK phones have to comply with anti-voyeurism laws which is why all phones there have the camera shutter no matter what. If you have rooted your phone I think you could easily delete or modify the shutter sound though...

Sorry guys, new to this, I've tried to rename the file using fs explorer and it will not allow me to either re name or delete the file, any advice would be gratefully received

Use root explorer, you can and need to enable write access in order to change/rename files at root level.
Got the shutter sound deleted but there is still a beep when it focuses. Any ideas?

Yep, mine still beeps when it focuses as well.

Thanks. No idea why so many people downloaded it already, but meh... I'll see what I can see...
Hmmm... I have an idea. I will take a look later on at making a new apk

From the code, I see there should be a setting to enable or disable autofocus sound.
Can you please confirm if this exists before I go much further into this. Usually you tap menu, or press a settings button on-screen in camera to get some options.
Looks like it can be disabled.

OK. You can try pulling the APK, then removing the file in res/raw/. Delete the ogg file with the obvious name like AutoFocus.ogg (not got the file to hand)
Back up the old one before doing this! Then replace the file on the device with this one. Reboot, see if it works. If it doesn't and camera doesn't appear, then you need to restore the backup and reboot again. That should fix it
If it crashes when focussing, we need to replace the OGG with an "empty" ogg, but then re-sign the APK, which will involve editing packages.xml
while were on the subject, is it possible to remove the parental control set in place, that prevents the camera from being opened if the battery is >15%, and where it kills your music, when you open the camera? i will personally donate $25 dollars if you did that. and forever praise you as the best developer in the world
(very serious about the donation tho)

In call volume too loud

Hey I don't know if this is a rom/firmware issue or just an issue with the phone itself. I looked around on the internet, but wasn't able to find anything. I can't even hold the phone to my face (hurts my ears) when it is on the lowest volume, and everybody can hear my conversations haha.
also side note I tried to install the back button menu hack and it removed all the the numbers on my pin lock screen. At first it was annoying, but now I kind of like it. Sadly the numbers came back. I know this isn't the right thread, but wasn't sure if somebody might know how to how to get my blank lock screen back. It was super secure and people thought I was some crazy tech master.

I forgot to mention i'm using CNA by Th3Bill. the newest one. I've scoured the settings menu with no avail. I can't find any setting whatsoever that comes remotely close to fixing this Epic problem.
I'm tired of forgetting it doesn't work and having to pull my battery for sound.
Does anyone on this forum know how to fix this? It's so frustrating

For some reason my kickstand randomly stopped working and when I flashed a pds fix,it started working again. Not sure how to make it stop working though. Try installing peetrs v15. After you install that, then install any rom you want and it might work, idk

I thought it was just me.... This is very annoying. I don't see any settings in Crackle to cause this... nothing in the Xperia settings... and I disabled all the "Smart Connect" setup... I did try deinstalling and reinstalling Crackle - no use. Drop the tablet in the charger, Crackle pops up !
Anyone have a real fix for this?
finally I when with an app call dock clock to be activated prefer to see the clock than crackle

Yes... Dock Clock (Night Clock). Thanks for the tip... I installed this and then did have an option to select Crackle or Dock Clock when I put the tablet in the cradle. And this is much better than Crackle... I had previously setup my Acer tablet so that it did something similar (Settings -> Display -> Daydream -> Clock).
How annoying! I had to use titanium and freeze it. Screen stays the same when docking now

Sony's now updated their "Smart Connect" app on the tablet so you can define what happens when you put the tablet in the charging dock.
My tablet originally asked me what I wanted to do when I inserted it into the dock, i.e. set up a SmartConnect rule. After defining that I didn't want any, it hasn't bothered me again.
I don't have Crackle preinstalled. Must be a regional thing.
Just delete all the events in the smart connect app, and recreate the events. Fixed!

Ok, here's the elephant in the room. People are up in arms about Kingo root because it's an unknown and they're afraid it'll send information back to them. Yet, this "camera silencer" app is just a download without any transparency t all, not through the Play store and we're supposed to just trust that it doesn't gather up a lot of stuff and send it back home? Crazy.

The difference is this app has source codes on the same page, you can read them, compile your own APK and install it.

Yup, it's all right there.
Installed it seems to work. Apk no icon stuff is scary they. Exactly how is it disabling sound? Doesn't appear to be renaming files so? Anyone provide insight?

It definitely disables the camera sound, however after a while it reenables certain options i prefer to keep disabled. Primarily the touch sound (every time you touch the screen it makes a sound).

I've been using it for a while and haven't had anything turned on that was previously off.
Do you keep Touch Sounds enabled?
