Like the title says. I don't see an option for shutter sounds in the camera.
Turn off volume

On my Galaxy S I could just select to have no shutter sound. Anybody?
Either turn off volume or intall omega 3 rom (root needed) that rom is cam sound free!

So there is no option withing the camera to always have the shutter sound off like in the Galaxy S?
The shutter sound is still on when the sound is turned off, looks like some morons @samsung simply forgot to integrate it. I am really annoyed by this "feature"
Can someone hack this please?
(or simply add a button or so)
Just go to /system/media/audio/ui/
And move shutter.ogg someplace else. Or rename it. I just deleted it
I think they didn't include the setting because it is illegal for a digital camera to take silent photos in some countries.

How do you do that because I get 'file system is read-only' ?
Ok never mind i just figured it out myself. I had to do a mount r/w to gain access to file shutter.ogg in root explorer.
I can confirm it, it works fine!
Mute turns off the camera sound..I have used this with S2 and just tested this with S3 before typing my reply..works!

Try this, it worked with me
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
I found this in a android forum.

You can use Tasker og you dont want to root your device.

How do you delete the file on a non rooted phone without that app?
For rooted users
How to enable on/off button for Shutter sound:
Edit /system/csc/feature.xml with text editor of choice.
Add following lines:
<!-- Enable/disable the camera shutter sound -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot, Voila, now you can enable/disable shutter sound from camera menu. (I'm on BLG8)

I was watching TDKR in Imax the first day it got out then a sexy girl with her snacks comes right in front of my row and I had to take her pic discreetly but suddenly sergeant stupidity arrived and there goes my ever so glorious bright flash and soundful cam sound. She had eye contact with me and smiled and I was like blushing and laughing, something like that will be ingrained into my memory forever. Sorry I just had to share that hahaha....

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Okay well my phone is rooted. Every time I screen capture someone thinks im taking a picture n its like an awkward moment of silence or awkward stare lol so where is the file located that gets rid of the camera shutter sound for screen capture?

Try putting the phone on vibe or silent. ...works for me. May not be what u wanted but its a fix to the problem.
system/media/audio/ui I'm not sure exactly which file it is because I swapped out all the camera and sturtup/shutdown files with camera_empty.ogg which was in there and just happened to be a silent file but my screenshots are silent. I just haven't figured out the camera focus.

No I tried that one. Here's a list of what I've silenced
Camera sounds:
Auto_focus.ogg
Auto_focus_error.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_click_short.ogg
Camera_empty.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
Camera_Timer.ogg
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
Startup/Shutdown:
PowerOff.ogg
PowerOn.ogg
Sound when you change the volume:
TW_Volume_control.ogg
Did a quick search in the play store and found "Camera Sound off!". It's free but I haven't tried it because it requires root and I haven't bothered to do that yet. Give it a try.
Sorry guys I been busy but thanks for the help. I'll look into everything everyone said

Of course, lowering the volume before going into the camera also disables the shutter sound.
For me what worked is to put Jrummys root browser into system using titanium backup. Then use the built in editor to modify system/csc/feature.xml. change camera sound from false to true. Done.

Ok, I'll make it even simpler. While IN the camera app press and hold the power button. Then press "mute". That's easier than digging into a settings within the phone app itself or using a separate app. There are times when I like the shutter sound, I never want it permanently off. This solution works well fo rme.
