Is there a way to prevent the phone from making noise when using camera?
I am trying to delete the sound file instead set the phone to silent.
Currently I deleted two shutter sound at
system/media/audio/ui
but the phone would still beep when auto focusing using the cam button.
But there is no sound at all if I use the on screen button.
Does anyone know where does the beep come from?
Thank you.

Silentsnap is supposed to do this. Now you can take pictures of women without them knowing,
Also under alarm settings disable "alarm in silent mode"(not even sure if our phone has that but others do.
^^^^lol
But seriously the auto-focus beep is annoying as hell especially if you just have it open waiting to take a pic
Open the camera, tap on the settings icon (top one if streak is in landscape, one all the way on the right if in portrait). Scroll all the way to the bottom and under "Shutter Sound" select off.

He didn't ask about the shutter sound, read his post.

if you would follow the steps and test it out for yourself to see what happens, you would notice that it does disable the focus beeping sound as well.

Title says it, I don't have that option to turn it off. Is it just me?
I think the update removed it..
I've also had more freezeups after the update, along with unresponsive touch screen until you lock and unlock. Anyone else have an increase in these issues?

i haven't loaded the update yet. on mine, withouth the latest 2.08 update, i have an option in the camera settings under geotag, etc, which says shutter sound with a check box. this is disappears after the latest OTA to 2.08?
are you able to adjust the volume down with the external volume rocker and see if that prevents the shutter? although its a lame work around, ihope it helps as its better than nothing ..
i personally dislike the shutter sound and its kinda lame/fake and not really needed so i'm glad they have provide the option to shut this off in the past...thanks for the heads up on this!
correct no more option to turn off sounds
with all sounds disabled/muted it still makes noise
the volume rocker is zoom in the camera app (for those that didn't know)
There has been a bill in Congress introduced in 2009 to require cell phone cameras to "click". Its called the Cell Phone Camera Preditory Alert Act. So far, it hasn't had much traction. Maybe HTC knows something we don't?
crappy fix, grab the old camera, put it in place of the new one, change permissions and reboot
Set up with no sound, then copy the new cam app back, fix permissions, reboot and voila.
POOR method. Restore from titanium might also work, haven't tested that.
make a profile with "Tasker".
when camera app is active, all sounds are disabled.
thats what i do with my legend, using CM7...
but on my evo i can disable the shutter sound!?
Also, looks like it removed mirror app that was tied with the camera app.
do u removed mirror app?
i have it already installed, and turned shutter sound off.

shortcut to the "good" method above would be somebody with the shutter sound turned off can post their preference file and ppl can download/copy that into their camera app directory ...

Hey joey, thanks. Any idea why mirror is missing also? This is with a clean install. When I overwrite my nand backup it works but then native screenshots don't work.
Will somebody post up there camera preferences please.

It's not a "good" method, it's a crappy work around. I like your method better. Anyone got the file?
Shutter Sound App Fix!!
Hey all...I've spent the last 2 days looking for anything to get rid of the shutter sound, or at the least, enable us to turn it off WITHOUT having to root my phone and void the warranty. The ONLY fix that I found, was to download this Silent Snap app at this link: m.androidzoom.com/.../silentsnap-camera_gfij.html After I downloaded it, it took care of that annoying shutter sound, and even better, the app is FREE to download!!! I hope this helps!
Silent Snap
Just letting you all know, that you don't have to use the app every time to make the Shutter Silent...
Just open the app once to turn the Shutter off...but please notice it also puts your phone on silent as well...But once you've opened the app, and exited out of it, you can now use your Volume Down Button to put your phone on Silent, and it will also turn the Camera Shutter off!
I recommend not staying within the Silent Snap App, because after taking about 3 or 4 pictures, it brings up ads, so just be sure to use your regular camera when taking pics to resolve this issue.
Blade buddy can remove the click.

Its called cameraclick.ogg
before i use the camera it doest have sound then i found out the next day when i use it, it has sound then im trying to look at the setting, and ask somebody they didn't found out too,please help.
There is no setting. The sound files are under /system/media/audio/ui, though, and are easily identifiable by their names. I guess you know what to do now, do you
Just put the phone in silent or vibrate if you have the latest firmware and the camera sound is gone.

If you disable system sounds and notifications (what would you sue them for anyway) the camera shutter will also be silent.
Hey guys. Please help me out (if you can/will ).
Does anyone know where the camera launch sound is located. I mean the sound you hear when opening/launching the camera with the hardware button.
All the other camera sounds i can find in the system/media/sounds folder, but for the life of me i can't find that annoying launching-sound-file.
I have found a xposed module that shuts it up, but i still would like to know
Thanx in advance.
When you turn the sounds off in the camera app its self it turns off all the sounds for the camera
I think the other sounds are in the camera app its self

Hey Envious,
Thanx for your reply.
Ofcourse ! I never thought about it being inside the APK (if thats what you mean).
Because i really can't find any other option to turn it off. I've looked through a ton of system folders and the setting inside the camera-app itself, sadly, does not turn of that launching sound either.
Oh well. Luckily that xposed module for the Z1 works
had anyone else seen the green notification dot/light just below the battery percentage area? I took a screenshot just to make sure it wasn't something on the screen but it doesn't show up on the screenshot. The only time I've ever seen it pop up is when I'm using Google voice and I have used the microphone on the keyboard to send a message
That's simply an indicator telling you the microphone is in use. I think there's a similar one for when an app is using the camera too - it's a "safety feature" so no app can use them without your knowledge or something.
thanks
Yeah, unfortunately, it is not a notification led, just graphics on the screen.
