Camera shutter and focus sound - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Is there any possibility removing the shutter and focus sounds?
I don't have the option to select 'shutter off' on my Neo, so was wondering if there was an alternative way of doing so for the shutter and also the focus sound.

Hello,
I think the only method to be able to remove this sound is to install another firmware (actually the german firmware allows the user to remove the AF/shutter sound)
To flash a firmware you can use Wotanclient or flashtool.

Launch camera app then press menu button. You have a lot of options, including "shutter sound"

Confirm!
I've re-flashed the German firmware from Wotanserver and got a new option - shutter sound off.
And the German firmware also has all languages as well, though not mentioned in wotanserver.

run camera
dragout the left menu
and voila

Some firmwares aren't able to delete the focus/shutter sound , they just allow the user to change the sound.

Should still be there on this firmware.

[HOWTO] Fix Camera Failed Error

Its not terribly common, but there have been some cases where upon installing froyo and updating the camera, the firmware flash has messed up and broken the camera. Make no mistake, this is not a software issue. Its a camera firmware issue and the only way to fix it is to reflash the firmware.
Now, the camera software offers once. After that, if it fails, it isn't going to prompt again.
To get around this:
1. Download Launcher Pro from the market. Any cut and ADW will likely work too.
2. make a new shortcut, to an activity.
3. Scroll to Camera Firmware, and choose the second option (user)
4. Click ok. There is now a shortcut on your homescreen. Choose the third option, Phone to CAM FW Write. Put your phone down and do not touch it until it is done.
Hope this helps.

Oh my godddd, doing this now. When I flashed Deodexed Stock EB01, my camera got alllll f*cked up.
**EDIT** - I did this and replaced Camera.apk with THIS and now I have everything working.
Just going to throw out there that ADW has the shortcut capability too.

This happened to a friend of mine! Verizon updated the phone automatically and she never saw any prompts. The phone just updated. And the camera failed afterwards, going into "please wait" loop. I know nothing about Android. I'm trying to find a solution for her that does not involve flashing anything, including going backwards where her rom is concerned. Verizon's two solutions leave much to be desired from what she tells me Verizon explained to her. So, she's decided no camera is the only suitable option in hopes another workable alternative arises. Okay... that all said:
What is this "ADW" thing you refer to? How to get it? She does have Launcher Pro. Please excuse my ignorance. Like I said, I have no idea what Android entails. I'm still a Windows baby (winmobile 6.5). Would you be so kind as to provied for me very detailed instructions and maybe some images so I can help her get her camera working again without having to mod her rom or do anything that could actually cause additional problems? Thank you.

Go to market and download "launcher pro"
Install launcher pro
Press the home button to change launchers...choose launcher pro
Long press on middle of screen..
2. Choose shortcut
--- Select "Activity".
3. Scroll to Camera Firmware, and choose the second option (user)
4. Click ok. There is now a shortcut on your homescreen, press on the shortcut, select the third option, Phone to CAM FW Write. Put your phone down and do not touch it until it is done.
ADW is just another launcher, similar to launcherpro. If you have LP you don't need ADW.

Hello,
Did you try to upgrade the camera firmware of your phone ?
Simply launch "Samsung Apps" and search for "Camera Firmware Update", install it and follow the instruction.
I expect this will solve your problem.

Hello Aimixess~
Thanks for your prompt reply~
Unfortunately, the "Camera Firmware update" is not available in our region... >.<
do you still got another idea to solve it?
Cheers,
Monica
Is the problem exist with another camera app and/or in video mode ?
Did you simply try to reset the app parameters in the option (little cogwheel in the upper left corner, last option) ?

It is no problem with another camera (like Camera360)~
And i tried to reset the parameteres, but no change >.<
I have done a hard reset today, everything is fine, then i flash to KG6, the problem exist again...
Aimixess, are you using KG6 too? you've got no problem with it?!
Hello Monica,
I'm using KG6 Too.
In case of your Camera.apk is corrupted, you can try to flash (In CW recovery) the camera.zip linked bellow (this is the KG6 Camera.apk and Camera.odex).
I expect this will solve you problem.

[Q] galaxy s2 service mode (5) AUDIO not working

hi guys,
i did look all over the forum and searched all google and still no solution any help would be great thanks alot in front,
the other voice of the person i am talking to is extremely low so i tried to update to the latest firmware and that is (XWLPM) 4.0.4.
but i still have the same problem as before, so i read that there is an service mode with extra options.
the thing is that i can get into service mode, and i dont get like other users error that says blocked or what ever.
and all the menu is working as it should be, but only number 5 in the menu and that is the "AUDIO" option that i need to access to change my volume.
when ever i press on option 5 "AUDIO" it send me back to the main menu,
Notes :
i tried accessing it by ("KEY INPUT" AND "Select") but with the same result.
i tried removing the battery, but still the same result.
please any help would be great.
ok quick way to increase volume to max is download lates siyah kernel and extweak then open extweaks then select music tab and increase volume to max !
Will try that . Thanks for the advice. But is the music volume the same as the earspeaker oe the earphone volume ?

To be able to access that menu you need an older radio. I flashed one from the GB roms: XXKH3
thanks a lot bkraptor, your advice worked and i can access the volume on that menu, but i changed it to maximum on every thing and still the same problem, i installed many apps like volume+ and equalizers but nothing works.
i was thinking is it possible that its a hardware problem ? but if the headphone is broken, why there is voice coming out ? shouldn't i be hearing nothing ?
i also had 4.0.4 LPT which has XXLQ6 modem , audio menu was not working, so i flashed XXKI3 modem, now it works!

Ok, I've been rooting and swapping rom's and stuff for a month so I'm obviously an expert (JK, not at all). If I understand you correctly, you flashed a GB Modem onto ICS right? This made option 5 available? Also, if you reboot does it reset values to default like it does on stock everything?

yes, i had ICS LPT build with 4.0.4, i flashed the old modem, audio menu working, enable WB-AMR (for HD voice) , all ok, and after a week i flashed a new version of the ROM , still LPT build , and the flasher also put LQ6 back on, so audio menu not working again, but WB-AMR remained enabled, so i don't need the audio menu now, so i stick with LQ6

How do you know that WB-AMR remained enabled without accessing the audio menu?
EDIT: Found that the ServiceMode shows the WB-AMR Status
this really works .... Change ur RADIO ...
i Switched to XXLPJ from xxlq6 ... now menu is unlocked..
i guess the blocked menu are related to RADIOS.... and they depend whether samsung allowed customization over certian Radios.

A bit late, but; how do I change the radio? My loudspeaker is very low, I barely hear it (headset, BT, microphone are OK). I cleaned it of dust, but it is very low. It is korean edition (SHW-250S) converted to i9100 and flashed with SlimBean RC1 4.2.1. It was also low volume when on stock korean.
Now I want to bump the volume via service menu, but the audio menu is blocked.
Do you think I should replace the loudspeaker?
Thanks!
Can someone put modem file for 2.3.6 XWKL1, baseband version DDKL1
edit: found it!!!

[XP] Error! Camera not available' after update to 6.2.A.1.100

I've got another problem with camera after update to 6.2.A.1.100...
When I use Quick Shot/Launch camera - sometimes i get a message 'Error! Camera not available'
The problem is ONLY when I use Quick Shot/Launch on locked screen. When I normaly turn on camera, by using 'Camera' app from menu, everything is ok:
img19.imageshack.us/img19/5672/screenshot2013061315454.png
(copy and paste it to web browser)
I've tried repair phone by PCC but it does't fix my problem (or install fw Generic World or Central Europe).
On ICS, Quick Shot works perfect, but on 6.2.A.0.400 I've got another problem (black screen / camera FC)
Can you escalade my problem (try to several (maybe 5-6 times) Quick Shot/Launch the camera on locked screen and next lock screen)??
I tested Quick launch in Safe mode. And what?
Everything works perfect!
There must be a process which can't run the camera in quick launch (I have not installed anything apps using camera).
Which one?

I tried to clear data, reinstall software many times... anything doesn't fix my problem.
Finally I found the solution - I have installed JB MoonBreaker v3 (test) from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42565512&postcount=836
Everything was ok, so I thought 'I have a warranty to my phone so I have to back to stock firmware .100'
After flashing the firmware by flashtool, resetting to the factory defaults, problems came back
I'm sure that is not a hardware problem - only software must have a bug.

my last opinion for your issue maybe you can try to re-download ftf file fw 100, because on me camera work fine..

What do you mean, saying 'camera'?? When you choose 'Camera' from menu?? Or choosing Quick Launch on locked screen?
Camera - from menu always works fine for me, but Quick Launch - not always...
I downloaded .100 Generic World and problem still persists (earlier I had .100 CE).

(Can't connect to camera) S3 i9301 with CM12

Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE
//reposting because nobody answered :v
LOGCAT:

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu
