There are two tasks that need to be done in order to completely silence this thing, and even then, clicking on an audio or video link or entering an app with sound it will still play it loudly through the speakers.
The are 2 icons on the pull down menu , "interruptions" and "sound". Interruptions has 3 options, 1. All interruptions. 2. Priority only. 3. No Interruptions.
In "priority only" mode the phone will still make all sounds when typing and locking or unlocking the phone, it won't silence system sounds unless you also click on the sound icon and put it into vibrate mode.
If you don't want vibration either, you must choose option 3 "no interruptions", this will change the sound icon to show that vibrate is also off (you cannot simply get to the "vibrate off" state just by cycling through the sound options, as there is only an option for sound or vibrate ).
Now even with phone set to "no interruptions", it does not mute the speaker completely. Say you're bored at a meeting and want to play candy crush or your favorite racing game or watch a YouTube video, sound will still play, unless you manually go to volume settings and lower the media volume to zero.
In previous models you could just mute the phone by cycling to silent and no sound came through the speakers except for clock alarms. (The G4 actually has a different issue, the notification and ring volumes are linked and won't allow setting separate volumes for each)

Could always use something like this, or a bunch of other apps. I use Slider Widget since Android changed the way notifications work.

I hear you.
My note 2 has the options you're talking about... it went from sound to vibrate to mute. None of this priority interruptions stuff. Guess it must have changed post jellybean?
Kind of strange to not have a silent....but thanks for mentioning that if I put it on no interruptions I can get rid of the vibrate. I hadn't figured that one out yet.

You forgot the last step of having to change the media volume as well. It's taking something that should be simple and adding 10 unnecessary steps.

Yeah that's 2 more than apropiate just like your responses. Thanks for the bump though maybe someone else will come along and post something constructive.
That's how all Android 5 phones are sorry you've been behind the technology curve but you can reprogram android and fix it or root and fix it.

lol hold down the volume down then just turn the media down and its muted, actually its easier than the note seeing that the feed back was there unless i turned it off completely. just did it, took me 3 seconds to do i counted lol i dont see where your getting all these setting for, cause thats not what they are for. they are for if your in a meeting and you dont want to know you have a missed call or text till after if your on the phone it figuers you want to know and use the sound why else would you be using an app with sound.

More exactly blame Lollipop. With MM it will be reasonable again.

I dunno about you guys, but I just swipe to the left on the second screen and a speaker icon comes up (along with wifi, flashlight, and camera) and I just click on the speaker icon to mute the phone.
This is not a V10 issue, it's more of a Lollipop "feature". Not sure which Google genius thought that this was a brilliant idea to begin with.
It's an even more clusterf#ck when you have an android smart watch. Before Lollipop, you are able to mute the watch independently of the smartphone. Now they're all tied in, and it's freaking annoying.
Time for an iPhone
This is a severe and game-changing problem, for me. Next phone is an iPhone. No more f**cking around with hack phones (AKA: Google/Android).
You Effed up, google.

Anyone else?, this little puppy had been out a few weeks now!
Wasn't this made not changeable *atleast within the default app* because of something that happened in Europe. About no spy camera shots or something.. They wanted the noise so you couldn't take hidden pictures. Or something along those lines..
So if thats for Europe chances are they will include the option to disable it in the US varient right?
Screenshot works for me just like the s2 did. Home + power. They need yo be pressed at exactly the same time and held for a second or two.

I've tried /dozens/ of times - it simply doesn't work for me.
To disable the shutter noise you need to delete the audio files, which requires root access.
Is there a way without deleting the files? Just replacing the apk so I can have an option of sound out not sound?
you can use pretty much any of the other hundreds of camera apps in the market. most of them will correspond to the volume setting of your ringtone so if you set the system sound to silent they will have no shutter sound.
my least favourite thing in the whole world is shuttersound, except in burst modes.

thats beacuse in s3 you have to hold both buttons one or two seconds.
you can do it too by dragging the side of your hand through the screen from left to right
The sad part is that because of a few people that deteriate the gene pool, we have to put up with that damnable shutter sound.
Thing is, if we replace the camera with another one on the market, which one would be better - the built in one or the market one? Does the built in camera app make those great shots or the hardware?
Open Root Explorer - Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Mount R/W
Rename shutter.ogg to shutter.ogg.bak or just delete it.
To undo, just rename it back

To mute camera just mute the phone with your volume buttons.
Screen shot still works with Power and home button just push and hold them for a couple of seconds.

This solution is quite widespread online but many people say it doesn't work for them.
I can confirm it's working for me - 16GB, pebble blue, Vodafone, UK - but it seems different markets can't stop the shutter sound this way.
Is there really no way to disable it without root

I've been searching XDA and Google up the wazoo looking for a way to do this... coming up blank, except for threads on other phones.... if it is there and I missed it please someone point me in the right direction! I'm looking for a way to allow my volume rocker to wake up the screen so that I can take a bit of the stress off the power button. Even better would be a way to wake the screen with a swype on the screen or on the softkeys, but I've been drawing a blank there too. I would like to accomplish this without having to go to a different rom (like CM), I like CM but on the LG I really like to keep some of the features that come on the stock rom (i.e. Qslide, quickmemo, lockscreen style)... so if this could be done maybe with a flashable zip, or a mod on a script or something that would be awesome.
Additionally I am wondering if there is a way to increase/decrease volume from the lockscreen. I know I can toggle between silent/vibrate/ring.... but if for example I select ring and the volume is low, I have no way to increase it without having to unlock the phone.
Already tried:
-numerous apps that are supposed to allow to wake the phone in customizable ways (none have worked)
-Lockscreen apps to allow volume rocker wake (even though I really just want to keep my stock lockscreen)
-modified a file called keypad_8064.kl to add WAKE after the volume up/down
Thanks!
p.s. sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I've honestly been searching for two days with no luck
p.s. #2 if someone has any ideas or mods for the issue about the LED Notification frequency being so slow I would greatly appreciate it too. I did find threads about it but none of the solutions worked for me. Tried different apps with no success too
ps.#3 I'm using SnowJB on 4.1.2
Try Exposed + Gravity box. I know it says AOSP Roms but I use it on ATT Stock JB and most functions work. Haven't tried Volume wake though.

Thanks.... nice tool, although it doesn't have a volume wake option though. All it has is the option to disable volume wake (meaning if your phone already does it), but not to enable it. It did allow me to do something else I had been struggling with, but still at a loss about the volume wake thing.
I have the apk, not sure where I found it but it works great on the Optimus G.
An apk would be awesome.... Care to share it?

wow... that was great. I can confirm the apk works just fine to allow volume rocker screen wake on my e970. Haven't monitored if it affects battery but at least so far it's working great. It does require Super User rights in case anyone else wants to try it.
Thank you!
BTW, on the issue of being able to control volume without waking the screen I installed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firestorm.vc&hl=es
It sets the app in the notification tray (not the status bar) so that you can control volume levels from the notification area.... since you CAN drop down this while the screen is locked it pretty much does what I was looking for. I should also point out that if other notifications come in on the phone, this one moves down the list, giving room for the new ones, so it doesn't impact new notifications on your phone.
Hey guys. When I get a notification my watch doesn't vibrate. It does when I pull down to mute un-mute but not when I get a notification

I'm pretty sure I had to set the app on my phone to vibrate to make the watch vibrate too.
Same here unless I'm just not feeling it. Can't find any settings to change it.
You have to make sure the app on the phone has Vib checked off. I also noticed facebook double vibs but hangouts and gmail dont.
mine was vibrating (softly like every one else's) and then it just stopped. I had the box checked and everything seemed to be in order. I had to do a factory reset on the watch and that fixed it

Yup, vibrations are way to soft or don't happen at all. The pebble was great with this never missed a notification. Hoping they put out some software update.

Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" feature in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:
https://plus.google.com/+CyrilPreiss0/posts/CUX1DsHCTTw
I switched this option off and don't know how to turn it back on. Smh it came enabled and now I don't know how to turn it back on. For those that don't know what I'm speaking of its when you look at your watch and it comes on automatically
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Go to settings and turn it back on.
You can do it via the watch or the phone app.
Also it's not when you're looking at the watch, its when you tilt your arm in a "I'm going to look at my watch" movement.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine is very non responsive to the auto on from movement. My gear (original) was way more responsive. I'm toying with returning it it's so bad about coming on automatically..
I have no option on the watch or in the settings in the wear app to turn this off and on either,
